Antony was born to a wizard father and a muggle mother, who had fallen in love for only perhaps half a year before he was conceived, but his father waited until halfway through his mother’s pregnancy to inform her about magic. She was—well, no one knew what she was really feeling, but Antony’s always thought it was a mixture of fear and betrayal—so she fled, taking Antony with her. Because he wasn’t born yet. But his father found him before his first birthday and took him away again; his mother, untrustworthy and knowing the secret of the magical world, was taken care of and never heard from again. His father took him to Manitoba and settled in a wizarding village there; they lived above the small bookstore his father worked in. Antony was, therefore, closest to Stonewall when he received the letter, and was later sorted into Astoria.

He failed most of his OWLs, but fortunately he had enough to fill his quota of NEWT classes. All of them spell-related, naturally. His talent with charms was why he was pretty successful in DADA up until NEWT level, when actual mock combat happened. He had the skills, between power and knowledge and agility and the highest precision in the class, but only when he was firing at targets. With only a little credit given for simply performing the spells taught, he saw his confidence and competence plummet until he completely failed his NEWT. Okay, so he didn’t actually show up for the test, because he’d heard rumours about a duelling portion, but he probably wouldn’t have done much better if he had. The NEWTs he actually attended produced much better results, although he didn’t do as well as he could have in Transfigurations because it was hard to concentrate under pressure. The rest of the tests were easy, though, barely worth the title of Nastily Exhausting. Definitely Nastily Terrifying, though!

Though never known for sociability, he didn’t fully withdraw until later, mostly out of habit as he made and sold pieces of art while learning a bit of counter-curses on the side, more than he had in school, until his father died. Antony sold the bookstore and moved to Ontario, where he lived in another small village. He met a few people interested in his skills although he never sold a piece of art. Then he joined a group called Stream and found a job opportunity with Rivulet Potions, officially as a wizard accountant, because he’d developed pretty decent basic math skills in his father’s store. Fortunately, wizard accounting was a lot simpler than muggle accounting and could be learned by apprenticeship rather than formal learning. Unfortunately, that meant Antony had to be apprenticed.

Antony was often jinxed, hexed, cursed, and injured during his career. He studied healing rather extensively with some help from an RP healer who usually helped with potions accidents as well as a few others, until he could casually reattach lost limbs and worse. Of course, he had to learn occlumency first, but that did wonders for his focus, and despite his low Transfiguration NEWT, his healing became second to none. His accuracy and speed were phenomenal, and jokes were made about his potential as a sort of combat healer. This idea rather violently disagreed with him, especially when he tried it out. He remained in accounting for several years until Pelagos Rivulet informed him he’d suddenly be no longer there and would instead be working at the school that still sometimes featured in his nightmares.



Antony is a coward. He doesn’t like confrontation of any sort and will try to get out of the situation by hiding or running away, and if one is impending, he’ll try to procrastinate. He doesn’t stand up well to others under the threat of pain or violence of any sort, and weapons can generally convince him to do anything. But not happily. He is, of course, aware that a wand is a weapon, but he can usually present a facade of resistance until any specific spells are mentioned. He hates violence although he doesn’t mind watching it (from a pensieve, hopefully) and he’s not overly disturbed by seeing the after-effects. He just doesn’t want things to happen to him. He can deal with harm to his person remarkably well, though, because of his vast healing abilities. Actual pain doesn’t even seem to bother him that much. It’s the threat of it, or of anything else, that he can’t tolerate.

There’s only one thing that horrifies him more than the threat of losing all his limbs, and that’s romance. Or at least, intimate situations. That’s not to say he doesn’t appreciate his porn or that he can’t internally squeal over someone who hits all the right notes, but that whole physical contact thing is uncomfortable. It may actually be because he is actually concerned that people will try to curse him point-blank. It’s slightly different if he’s approaching someone else, usually to heal them or apply a potion. Really, he’s the only comfortable with touching the injured, unconscious, or dead.

It may be a combination of these two things that causes his social anxiety. His voice is usually audible and understandable, in any situation, but he really doesn’t like crowds. It’s not fear—well, there is fear of going out, but as usual that doesn’t come into play as much when the event is actually happening—but his hands get clammy and he’ll keep trying to hide his face from strangers who pass by. Since he has to be forced into these situations, he’ll continue complaining to the enforcer and encouraging a retreat. He’ll usually succumb when threatened, but that often won’t stop him from complaining. Even continuously being held at wandpoint won’t stop him from complaining. The more nervous he is, the chattier he gets, and it seems if his vocal cords stop moving, so will he.

Antony loves his comfort zone. He loves it so much he never wants to leave. His comfort zone includes place, of course; he creates a space where he feels safe, usually a room of some sort with a sleeping area, and he tries to keep himself within this room and everyone else out. The only people he likes in his living area are the ones that bring him food, although he can get used to specific people. But he also considers his activity important. He’s not comfortable with a lot of things, especially those that involve people, so most of his hobbies are solitary activities. Solitary activities he has mastered. Antony likes reading, looking at pictures, drawing and painting, sleeping, and he even enjoys the monotony of recording transactions. Healing, meanwhile... healing, he tries to get done as quickly as possible. Which is a good thing, really, because it minimises the time a patient is injured for. But he can get excited talking about it.

It is interesting to note, however, that no matter what the situation, his healing is never subpar.




height: 180 cm
weight: average
appearance: Antony has short blond hair that half sticks up at the front and top, and blue eyes that rarely meet anyone else’s if he’s not checking someone’s eyes for symptoms, or for split-second glances to search for approval. His skin is pale from lack of sun exposure, which is a good thing because he burns easily if he forgets to apply the right spells (though, being a healer, he never sports a sunburn once he gets inside). He takes better care of his hands than anything else, and he completely lacks any scars, being able to easily take care of them. He usually wears muggle clothing, a t-shirt and jeans and a jacket, and keeps his wand in a forearm holster.
