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?
Life for the Danvers was pretty normal, up until Joe was 5. You see, his mother loved to ride horses, and after a while she finally got to ride, no longer being pregnant and all that. So she had been riding a horse with Vance and Joseph there with her, and they had been staring at it with wide eyes and laughing and clapping. Reid was with his father and younger siblings, taking care of them and playing, wrestling. They had been having a picnic. Well, his mother had been riding when they horse got spooked, reared, and knocked her off. She hit her head on the rocks as she went flying, tumbling over the small cliff to land in the water, where she drowned.
Things were never the same. His father became much more distant, though he relied heavily on Reid, Aerich, and Joseph to take care of Miley, Jayla, and Charity. Vance... He was forgotten in his fathers eyes, really, and Joseph and the others didn't notice for a few years. Somehow, they made it, and they were all entered into school. Joseph, ever the shy and quiet one, made few true friends. Indeed, most of his friends were his family, and the few others who managed to get close and be patient were far from being his best friends. He was popular enough, because of Reid and his being so nice, but he wasn't loved for the same reasons as Reid or even Aerich. He was simply getting the leftover fame from them. Don't get me wrong, he was outgoing enough in his own right, but it took him a bit to open up more to someone.
He liked Hogwarts well enough, but he didn't absolutely love it so much he couldn't bear to leave it. In fact, for most of his sixth and seventh year, he had thought about a change of scenery, but he didn't dare even suggest it to his father. It would not be greeted with happiness and loving smiles. So he pushed the thought away and focused instead on his studies and his music, all that he held dear anymore. But halfway through his seventh year, his father transferred them to Beauxbatons, saying that they needed to go somewhere else. He didn't ask why, they just did what he said. If they didn't, well, it wasn't too pretty. Once arriving, they all went their separate ways, though they ended up meeting together at the same time on occasion just to see each other again.
Personality: Joseph is a very loyal friend once you get to know him and gain his trust. He may seem rather shy and quiet at first, but once you get past that, he is a great guy who just wants to be a true friend and make you happy. He is dedicated to something he sets his mind to, and he doesn't give up easily at all. He plans on being a musician, so he is working hard nonstop just so he can make it when it comes down to it. Because of all of this, he is a hard-worker, never giving up and never backing down from something he gives his word to do. He is very responsible, being more so than anyone else in his family. Never does a chore go unfinished, and never will a project go incomplete with him around. He can take care of his family and still get an education and practice at the same time.
Truly, under it all, Joe is a sweet man. He is somewhat shy, so it's hard for people to see it, but he loves to do the little things that bring a smile to people's face. Such as giving a flower to a girl or complimenting an outfit, or even commenting on the change in hairstyles. With girls, he isn't quite as shy, so he can show them his great qualities, but it may take a while before he can actually approach someone. Usually, it works best if they come to him first, because then he doesn't feel so out of place or nervous. Having never had a girlfriend, he is very inexperienced. In every aspect. He has never held hands with a girl, kissed a girl, and he is most definitely a virgin. And yes, he is straight, completely and utterly.
Joe is kind, and he rarely has a harsh word to speak to anyone. He doesn't lie, and if you ask his opinion, he will be truthful, but he has a way of softening the blow so that it doesn't hurt quite as much and it isn't as harsh. He is intelligent, and so doing this isn't quite as difficult for him as it may be for others who attempt it. He enjoys puzzles as well to try and challenge himself, and he is always willing to help people with their homework. He is also organized, which helps him to do so well in his classes and in his life in general. Everything has a place, and if he's around, everything is in it. When something of his is unorganized, that's when you know that there is something wrong with him, but this is very rare and hardly ever has occurred.
Physical Appearance: Joe has dark brown hair that falls to about his lips. It's straight, and his bangs brush his nose. His eyes are a pretty slate blue. His skin is fair, and he stands at about 5'11", weighing in at a good healthy weight for his height. He honestly just hasn't bothered to check his weight, so no one really knows. His body isn't quite like Reid's, but he's certainly not like Vance. He falls somewhere in the middle. Being a swimmer, he has toned muscles. He isn't muscular, persay, but rather is cut or toned. Basically, it means that he doesn't work out too much (like Reid), but he simply comes by them naturally and just keeps himself healthy and in good shape, which is more than enough to please him.
Usually he dresses simply, in jeans and a t-shirt. Though when the occasion calls for it, he has no problem throwing on a collared shirt or even a suit or tux. He doesn't spend tons of time dressing himself, but he does take care to look nice and presentable whenever he leaves his room for school or some gathering. Of course, if he's planning on running or something, he won't take the time to dress up or anything. Who would? Though he doesn't quite believe in going to the extents Reid does to please the ladies, he will occasionally use some sort of cologne, but he uses so little that there is only a hint there. It's never used unless the day is especially important. He doesn't wear jewelry or the like, but if anything, he may throw in a necklace once in a while or a watch. Also, he is rather fond of stylish jackets. Hey, he has to have something, right?
