I’d describe myself as ambitious, determined, and curious. I have a knack for strategy and enjoy figuring things out—whether it’s a tricky game of wizard chess or a mystery waiting to be solved. I’m always ready to explore and push my limits, but I admit I can be impulsive at times, especially when I’m excited by a challenge.

I enjoy discovering hidden parts of Hogwarts, reading obscure magical lore, and learning anything related to ancient magic. My grandmother’s stories about runes and legends definitely fueled my fascination with esoteric magic. I keep a leather-bound journal where I jot down spells, notes, and anything else I find interesting.

At the core of everything I do is a desire to excel and leave my mark. I’m proud of my family legacy, but I also want to forge my own path—becoming a wizard who’ll be remembered not just for his name, but for what he’s achieved.

The Ashcombe family is respected in the wizarding world for its contributions, particularly through my father’s apothecary business. My family’s traditions run deep. My mother’s side has a legacy in potion-making and runecarving, and my paternal grandparents were both skilled duelists in their prime. While our family history is filled with accomplishments, I find myself especially fascinated by the stories passed down, both the well-known and the ones still waiting to be uncovered.

SPOILER!!: Alaric’s Journey

Early Adventures;
I was born on March 15th, 2104, into a family with a long magical legacy. Growing up in a lively house near a creek, my childhood was full of adventure. Whether I was climbing trees, solving one of my grandmother’s rune puzzles, or getting lost in a good story, there was always something to spark my curiosity.

Every summer, I spent a month with my paternal grandparents in Hastings. They were both former duelists, and their stories were legendary. My grandfather told me about the time he won a duel against a dark wizard who tried to cheat by using cursed sand to blind him mid-duel. With a flick of his wand, my grandfather turned the sand into shards of glass that shattered harmlessly in mid-air before striking back with a disarming spell that sent the wizard flying. My grandmother, not to be outdone, would recount her duel with a Hungarian wizard known for summoning fire serpents. She conjured a storm of freezing rain that doused the flames and won the duel with precision and wit. Their stories taught me that skill is not just about power but about strategy and resourcefulness.

The month I spent with my maternal grandparents in Hull was different but just as magical. My mormor, which is Swedish for grandmother, was a runecarver and knew every tale about giants, elves, and ancient runes. She gave me clever rune puzzles to solve, and when I cracked one, she would tell me a story as my reward. My favorite was about a clever witch who used a binding rune to outsmart a frost giant and trick him into freezing his own axe solid. I loved the idea of using wit and magic together. That is probably where my fascination with esoteric magic began.

One of my earliest "brilliant" ideas happened when I was six. I snuck into my mother’s potion lab late at night, determined to brew my very own masterpiece. Spoiler alert, it was not. I ended up creating a harmless but ridiculously stinky smoke bomb that had the entire house scrambling. Mum was not thrilled, but once the chaos settled, I caught her trying to hide a smile. I remember thinking, maybe I am onto something after all.

When I was seven, I dared myself to leap off the tree swing by the creek, aiming for an epic landing in a pile of leaves. I missed and hit a boulder instead. The scar over my eyebrow has been with me ever since. It is a constant reminder that I do not always nail the landing, but I will always take the leap.

By the time I was ten, my obsession with discovery had only grown. I found an old map in our family’s library, covered in cryptic symbols. It did not lead to anything spectacular, but I spent hours deciphering it. That puzzle lit a spark in me, a need to uncover things no one else knows about.

Starting at Hogwarts;
Getting my Hogwarts letter felt like the start of something extraordinary. I could hardly sit still. When I got sorted into Slytherin, I knew I was where I was meant to be. It was not about the stereotypes, it was about ambition and potential. Hogwarts was everything I dreamed of and more.
