Character History:
As a young child Gawain had a normal and enjoyable life, his antics at running out to make his parents find him probably being the reason they started to go grey early. Including a spectacualr accident involving one of his mothers potions, a blue crayon and his Fathers wand. The result was a minor explosion and Gawains hair turning a bright blue colour! That changed when he was eight years old however. He'd run out to hide late one night knowing his Father had seen him leave. What Gawain hadn't known being so young, was the cycle of the moon, what began a game became a life threatening situaton when the eight year old Gawain heard the growl behind him. Gawain will never have full memories of what happened next, all he recalls is the werewolfs howl, his Fathers roar and then a naked dead man on the ground with his Father bleeding from the arm.
That began the years of spending a few days a month at his Cousin James's house, at first Gawain couldn't open up to anyone about what happened or himself in general. James was relentless however, and it wasn't long before the two trouble makers were causing James' parents all kinds of trouble once a month. Gawain had suffered a major trauma and there were times when even James couldn't keep Gawain from his demons, those were times when James would keep Gemma away from Gawain not wanting his little sister to see that side of her cousin. Then Gawain and James went to Hogwarts, for the first year or so Gawain improved, he excelled at Defense against the Dark arts was no slouch at Transfiguration. He was Vehement with Divination though, refusing to apply himself and getting into more than one argument with the Professor and students after one, particuarly dark reading not even James could calm Gawain down, costing him a grim detention pickling newt eyes and a steep drop in points for Ravenclaw.
Apart from these little lapses Gawain has managed to make a solid circle of friends and enjoys being a Chaser for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. He's a dedicated study in subjects he chooses to apply himself in and often dissapears in order to self teach himself more advanced magics. After all, he needs to keep up his winning streak against James in their mock duels!
