Biography: The Danvers were born to a witch and a wizard who joined two powerful families with a marriage. Cal Danvers was the only remaining descendent of the Danvers family, an old and powerful line that had survived ages. Kate Lockhart was from the main branch of the Lockhart line, possessing most of their wealth and prestige. An intelligent couple, they were very well-matched, though they would never have seen it without a little help... Their marriage was not a choice of their own -- it was arranged. Somehow, the two managed to find something good in that coice. They fell in love, and finally they decided to provide their families with an heir. To them, in total, seven children were born.
Their firstborn was a boy; Reid Velkan, who was to inherit most everything. To him fell the responsibility of upholding the family name, power, and honor. He was to inherit the Danvers main castle in Bulgaria, a greater portion of the wealth, and of course the family's greatest heirloom - a secret that is told from father to son at the age of 19. Time is fast approaching, and Reid is more interested in girls and Quidditch than he is in his father's family. The question is, can Reid straighten up and live up to his destiny?
Caleb and Kate's second son, Aerich Danlen, was born only 8 months later. He was born early, and they feared the worst, but he made it through. He would inherit the Danvers castle in Ireland, which was their secondary home. He would get an equal amount of the wealth that was to be split amongst the remaining children. Being in the same year as Reid, he has to deal with the nicknames, being second-best, and always being compared to his older brother. Can Aerich rise above everything and push aside his doubts, or will he succomb to being a failure?
The third Danvers child was a twin, Aerich's to be exact. Joseph Krystian was born a few minutes after Aerich, and he was a surprise in himself. They had not known Kate was carrying twins, so when they were holding him, they were pretty shocked themself. They had three sons by now, and little did they know that more would be on the way soon. Joe was to inherit the Danvers castle in Italy, which was smaller than the one in Bulgaria, but almost equal in size to Aerich's inheritance. He received the same amount of wealth that Aerich would. Surprisingly enough, he was not shadowed by either of his older brothers. Outgoing and fun, he was accepted by nearly everybody, and so he managed to keep himself above the water. Where Aerich had issues at school, Joe had issues at home, where he was rarely there for his family because of his own problems. Can Joseph pull it together and keep himself strong for his family, or will he fall and fail them completely?
The fourth Danvers child was another boy, Vance Patrick, was born 8 months after Aerich and Joe, two months early. He was very sickly until the age of three, when he finally improved. They were afraid he would not make it many times, but somehow he managed to stay alive. He was yet another twin, though this time they had their first girl. He was born mere minutes before her, but he would constantly remind her when she started to annoy him. Vance would inherit the Lockhart main castle in Ireland and an equal portion of the wealth, as they all would. Vance, unlike the others, was more neglected for reasons he shares with no ones. His own issues and emotions cloud his judgement, and he often loses sight of what truly matters. Can Vance get through his emotional problems and finally open up to someone?
The fifth Danvers child was the very first girl. Miley Keira was born minutes after her twin, Vance. She was the complete opposite of her twin, so healthy that the doctors were surprised themselves. Over time, it was seen that these two were not like Aerich and Joe. The first set of twins were very close, though they looked nothing alike. They had some similar interests, if different fashion senses, but Vance and Miley were not like that. These two were almost complete opposites. Their only similar trait was their love of all things intelligent. They rarely saw eye to eye, and truly Vance was closer to Aerich and Joe than he was to his own twin. Miley struggled with trying to live up to her mother's reputation, trying to be the best sister, student, and everything else. It was hard, and it was only a matter of time before she fell; and she didn't know who would catch her. Can Miley live up to her mother's reputation as one of the smartest witches of her age while also trying to be the 'mom' of the family?
The sixth Danvers child was Hope Jayla, who was adamant about being called Jayla. She was a whole lot of drama poured in and combined with pep and energy. Basically, she was the witch equivalent of a muggle cheerleader captain. Honestly, the others were afraid of her at times. Her weakness, you ask? Mornings. She hated them. At any rate, she was to inherit the Danvers castle in Scotland, which was the smallest they owned. Or, at least the ones that her father had inherited. The others belonged to her grandparents and such, which was fine with all of them. But underneath Jayla's act, she was very much insecure and hurting. She had grown up without a mother, and try as Miley might, she just wasn't the same. Can she stop pretending that everything's okay and just let someone catch her when she's falling instead of trying so desperately to hold onto the edge?
The seventh, and last, Danvers child to be born was Charity Theresa, who was the spitting image of her mother. She was beautiful and sweet, intelligent and kind. To the family, she was a miracle that could not have been any sweeter, and all of them would have killed anyone that would have dared to lay a hand on her. She would inherit the Lockhart castle in Scotland, which made her very happy. Of course, the only reason was that her best friend lived in Scotland, and it would work out well for the two of them. What could possibly be a problem for Charity, you ask? She is so young and innocent, that she usually sees the best in people and completely misses the worst, but she has her own fears in life and has troubles overcoming them. Can Charity overcome her fears and find her own identity away from her family, or will she forever be the little sister that can't defend herself?
Vance wasn't always so messed up. It started, however, when he was five. His family had been out for a picnic, and he had been standing with Joseph, both of them horse lovers, as they watched their mother ride around. She had stopped and turned back to wave at them, smiling and laughing, when the horse reared, being spooked by a snake in its path. She gasped, not even having time to scream as she flew backwards and hit her head, blood splattering everywhere before she tumbled into the water at the bottom of the cliff. Vance had ran to look over the edge, sending Joe to go get their father, and saw her drown, screaming for her to come back and crying his heart out. But then the horse turned on him, though it wasn't intentional.
He was nearly killed by the horse, bleeding and having a few broken bones, before his family got there. It was Aerich that managed to save him as his dad got the horse under control before finding out that his wife had been killed, drowning in the ocean below. He had left, coming back with her pale, lifeless body a few hours later. They had buried her, and he had never looked at Vance the same. In his eyes, if he hadn't had to save Vance, he could have saved his wife faster. She might have lived. From that moment on, Vance was the victim of his father's dislike. Not hatred, because he wasn't that cruel, but he was not his favorite. He was often even neglected, or if his father had some alcohol, a victim of abuse.
Attending Hogwarts, Vance had turned to drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes to solve his problems. It worked, and it worked well for him. He had also turned to sex. Eventually, while there, he met someone by the name of Cove Bentley. After the two had a fling during his fifth year and Cove's sixth, they became good friends, though Vance wanted a little more than that. He settled however, and soon the Cove had left and the family was moving. He then learned that he was to attend Beauxbatons, though he really didn't care. That is, until he learned that Cove attended the same school. Well, that was definitely an upside, so he had went there with high spirits, intent on making the best of his last years.
Personality: "Apathetic". He pretends to not care, but really he cares too much most of the time. He is easily hurt or offended, but he will rarely let you know that you hurt him. He is a firm believer that he is not allowed to show weakness, which is part of the reason he started hurting himself. He hurts too much to actually show that he hurts, because in pretending not to hurt, he can get away from the pain himself by distracting himself.
Depressed. Vance hates his life and tries any way he possibly can to find an escape, though the attempts vary greatly. He has attempted suicide on many occasions, though they just wrote it off as an accident and completely ignored the fact that it was far too coincidental to be an accident. It had been planned, though not the living part. He finally stopped about a year ago, and he has made no further attempts. But it only takes one little domino to set them all off. He has breakdowns constantly, and often finds himself in the same place week after week.
Sneaky. When breakdowns aren't controlling his life, he has time to try to enjoy it. He loves to play pranks on people, even if he hardly knows them. He can easily leave a room without being caught, being quiet enough and more cat-like than most people to be able to sneak out successfully. For many of these, he seems mysterious to most people, like a puzzle they can't figure out because most of the pieces are missing, so they simply keep it in a separate box.
Secretive. His own secrets usually stay that way, never leaving his lips to tell a single soul. In truth, his friends and family always think he's so strong. None of them have ever seen him shed a tear. Well, excluding when he was little. Even when his mother died, he still did not shed a tear, being more shocked and traumatized to do much else besides trying to breathe. Tell him a secret, and it will never leave his lips. He's one of the best at keeping them. Afterall, he's good enough at keeping things to keep a steady mask because he hates revealing his true feelings.
Quiet. He hardly speaks until he knows you well, unless you're a friend of someone he knows. Then he'll be a little more open to things. He almost always speaks softly, barely able to be heard. His quiet natures helps him to be more sneaky, and it also allows him to observe any and everything that goes on around him without attracting too much attention. Besides, he blends in so well, unlike his stand-out family. Guess who's the odd one out there?
Intelligent. Honestly, Vance is one ingtelligent boy. He makes excellent grades and keeps them that way, and his sponge-like nature when it comes to learning helps out immensely. He loves to learn, trying to gain any knowledge he can. He also tends to pretend to be dumb until he knows you better, trying to blend in more as average so that he can observe you and figure you out before he extends the hand of friendship. Friends don't come easy to him, so he has to tread carefully in that area...
Physical Appearance: Vance has deep black hair that is hardly ever the same, though it usually ends up past his ears and brushed into his face, not completely hiding his eyes. Those eyes are a naturally pale blue shade, one of the deepest shades imaginable. They were easy to lose yourself in, and honestly, who on earth could blame you? Even when he was angry, they were simply breath-taking. Sadly, though, they were often hidden behind bright green contacts. He loved green eyes, and he thought he looked better with him. Oh, if only he knew. He has only one lip ring, and both of his ears are pierced. He also has a few tattoos, but not too large or flashy. Just simple and meaningful.
His frame is small, and he is definitely underweight. Coming in at 5'9" and weighing about 117. His skin is lightly tanned, and he is very resistant to the sun. He doesn't burn, but anything he has is natural. Amazing how that works, isn't it? He usually outlines his eyes in a light layer of black eyeliner, though it may be thicker on occasion. His eyelashes are gorgeously long and thick, fanning out when his eyes slide closed and making almost anyone at least look twice. He is naturally beautiful, which is not so normal for a guy, but it fits him perfectly. He is almost always dressed "punk" as some would say. Call it what you will, he rarely ever completely follows rules and almost always has something black on, even if it's just his boxers.
Other: His siblings attending Beauxbatons are Reid Velkan Danvers (brother, 18); Aerich Danlen Danvers (brother, 17); Joseph Krystian Danvers (brother, 17); Miley Keira Danvers (twin sister, 16); Hope "Jayla" Danvers (sister, 15); and Charity Theresa Danvers (sister, 14).
