Two year old Gordon had no way of actually surviving in the forest - alone and with no one to care for him. Luckily, however, a pair of Navajo people found him as he was placed near a reserve where the tribe had lived. Wondering why a toddler, of all things, would be abandoned in the forest and feeling sorry for it, the two brought him back to their tribe. Despite him not being part of their tribe by blood, they decided that they would raise him for a while before handing him over to the government. Baby Gordon still had no way of controlling his magic, but instead of being scared away, the Navajo tribe was impressed. Being one of the tribes that were magically inclined and not part of the Wizarding Schools, they decided that raising the child themselves would be the correct decision in this case.
And so Gordon grew up in a tribe that was not of his own blood - but one he could call his family. He learned their culture firsthand, along with their natural magical capabilities. They taught him about wandless magic, as was normal with them, along with the teaching of magical plants for Potions to be made for medicinal purposes. They didn't get to teach much outside of that because of their lack of actual knowledge of it as none of them went to Ilvermorny to learn. There were two animagi in the group, but never taught him how to become one because how he was still being burdened by MACUSA unlike them, who are in isolation. Basically, they were still thinking of giving him up to the government, but this time to MACUSA in particular once he entered school.
When he turned 11, a MACUSA agent was sent to him once they had tracked him down. Gordon was then handed over to the MACUSA. He wasn't shell shocked with the different cultures since they often send him out with a guardian to get acquainted with his 'real' culture. While Gordon doesn't seem to mind that they were trying to integrate him little by little to the more modern world, he does wonder if they really do consider him part of the tribe. Before he could get an answer, he was whisked away by the MACUSA agent, named Reimi Holiday, and taken to her own home. She now serves as her guardian and she was the one to walk him through what happens in Ilvermorny and the explain the rules of the magical world to him again, as well as the No-Maj world. Since then, Gordon has been living with Reimi, even though she isn't exactly as ecstatic since she lives alone and being a MACUSA agent took up most of her time, so she wasn't sure if she would be a prime candidate for taking care of an 11 year old boy.
Thankfully, Gordon was sent to Ilvermorny shortly after where he also got his wand. When he stepped onto the Gordion Knot, he was unsure of what was awaiting him - so when two Houses - Wampus and Pukwudgie - moved to take him, he was not sure which one he would pick. Gordon decided to choose Pukwudgie and then joined that House, and he doesn't regret that decision to this day. At first, to be honest, he was a bit lost. He didn't know what went on in Ilvermorny while others seemed to have a detailed report on the happenings within the school - from the various classes to the layout of it! Gordon was overwhelmed with the fountains of knowledge their library had. It made the knowledge of his tribe pale in comparison, but he still kept their teachings to heart. It wasn't soon until he began opening up to the others and making friends from all of the Houses - provided they had something in common.
He picked up skill in Transfiguration during his second year, when his interest in it grew larger than ever because of the fact that this branch of magic dealt with self-transfiguration / human transformation along with the animagus spell. This caused him to work even harder to achieve the highest grade to make an impression on the teacher. By the middle of the same year, he was invited to the Transfiguration Club - making him one of the youngest members there. Gordon didn't mind now had more people with information to guide him in his personal pursuits for knowledge and power. Come fourth year, his obsession with the animagi had dwindled a bit as the teachers always forbade him from trying to become one because it was highly dangerous and not something to be tried by a young wizard such as himself. During this year, he focused on honing his healing spells and decided that frequenting the Infirmary was better than just sitting around with his nose buried in books.
During the end of his fourth year, he was elected to become the next Leader of the Transfiguration Club after they had all convened to talk about it as the previous Leader would be graduating that year. Gordon took up the name with pride. Gordon's name became quite famous soon after that as he would often provide small performances for the first and second year students in an attempt to recruit more members - and sometimes even getting caught by one of the teachers because he casted a major spell or two. Despite this, he was still pretty much what one could equate to a shining student of Transfiguration. But young Gordon never really used much of his popularity - nor cared for it. Not until he's achieved what he wants. When he became the Leader of Transfiguration Club, he was then allowed to pursue his quest to become an animagus under the watchful eye of his Transfiguration Teacher and Club Advisor. With this in mind, he started.
Relationship with Reimi has greatly improved over the years, up to the point where they treat each other as siblings. Reimi has been promoted to an Auror after her valiant service in catching a rogue wizard. Now a sixth year and rumors of him finishing his training as an animagus spreading, Gordon is ready to tackle the new year with the same old goal but with a grin on his face. He's continued helping young students who are having trouble with their studies. He's made friends far and wide within the school, and he intends to make more. There's even been rumors of him becoming a MACUSA agent after this, along with him planning to disappear into the reserves to be with his adoptive Navajo tribe. No one knows what his plans for the future is, and he's kept his mouth shut about it so far.
Recent events had left him shaken but still holding his stride. People know of just how much it affected him as young Gordon was a great friend to the Thunderbird as the two shared many a class with her. More than that, however, Gordon was actively pursuing the student romantically since their fourth year. Having become interested in her until his feelings just festered up and won't go away, he's been making moves to try and get her to like him back. Though, he made sure to keep her comfortable even with what he has been doing and is still respectful to her wishes. He doesn't know if she would eventually return his feelings, but he just really hoped that she would.
"Ol' Lord Voldy huh? They told me he was pretty dangerous, but I don't know. He was defeated by a bunch of teenagers our age, so he shouldn't be that bad right?"

Weight: 125 lbs.
Occupancy: Student ; Beater on Quidditch Team ; Duelist
Year: 6th
Ilvermony House: Wampus
Wand: 11” Aspen Wand with Dragon Heartstring; Unyielding

- Steadfast
- Ambitious
- Determined
- Generous
- Intuitive
- Loyal

- Compulsive
- Abrasive
- Temperamental
- Rebellious
- Easily Frustrated
- Impatient
Hobbies and Skills:
- An exceedingly experienced and talented Duelist, her and her wand favoring martial magic and spells over any other.
- The core of her wand helps her to specialize in quick, powerful spells; this pairing well with her quick reflexes and strength. Though her offensive magic is her strong point, she also is well trained on the defensive. She performs healing magic pretty poorly.
- Whenever she would get fed up while working on her schoolwork or an argument with a peer, she would get on her broom and fly about; commonly ignoring the angered yells of teachers as she would do so. This by and by lead to her love of Quidditch, the role of beater fitting her somewhat violent nature.
- Performs non-verbal magic and spells well for her age and skill level.
- Though the exact opposite of a bookworm, has a strange affinity for history.
- This lead to a pass time of fencing and swordplay, though somewhat strange amongst magic users. She refuses to use magic in her sword fighting, though even an enchanted piece of metal going up against a magic user would prove to be fruitless.
- Commonly found on the Quidditch field training in all sorts of weather, working out off and on her broom whenever she finds the time.
- Surprisingly, she enjoys tutoring and working with younger students; no matter the house. Though she is not the best tutor, being decently abrasive and sometimes getting fed up with her “students”, she’s puts a lot of effort into helping them improve as her own mentor did for her. Will try to help them with all sorts of school related activities, but mostly excels in teaching dueling, of course.
Background:
Cecilia was born to a lower class family within the Midwest, both father and mother being decently well established magic users despite their lower standing. She was raised in a home filled with magic, and as she began to develop her own it was lovingly cultivated by her parents. Though, in light of their financial situation, the materials and time needed for her to feel comfortable using her skills were out of reach, and Cecilia spent most of those pivotal years of magic usage struggling through school and trying to help out around the house.
As a younger student Cecilia was exemplary, receiving only the highest of marks and being regarded highly by her teachers. Though, as her growing magic began to boil over, she found herself a bit too tough for her teachers to handle. A carefree and calm child grew quickly into a small firecracker of energy and spunk; outbursts of magic and other tantrums quickly changing school into a living hell for her and her family alike. As more special teaching was needed to help Cecilia grow and prosper, her family lost the ability to pay for it; the young girl continuously confined to dreary classrooms with no intellectual stimulation to speak of. The environment became too suffocating around her second or third grade year, and her accidental injuring of a child during one of her magical “fits” quickly got the young girl expelled from her grade school. She was now back at home, and her parents continued to fret over how to keep the family afloat and deal with their daughter.
Cecilia spent several months at home as her parents ran to different schools between their work, trying everything they possibly could to get their daughter back into a school. However, her reputation had quickly spread, and they had no such luck getting their daughter accepted into even the most lowly funded public schools. Running out of options, they tried to turn to MACUSA; pleading for help with their daughter’s magic education in light of the injury she inadvertently caused at her past school. Though they received light advice and a gentle pat on the back, the interaction ended up bringing nothing of help to the family, and Cecilia’s exhausted parents slowly felt as if their desire to teach their daughter the ways of magic would never come to fruition. However, this changed at the drop of a hat when another witch heard of their situation.
With a light knock on the door came the help of one who would come to be Cecilia’s mentor, a gorgeous witch that went by the name of Roon. Having heard of Cecilia’s “incident” at the school, she found herself intrigued by the young witch with such a natural knack for magic. Somewhat destructive magic, at that. Both in fear of her not learning to control her abilities as well as out of warm kindness she offered the family a deal; if they allowed her to take Cecilia on to work with her, she would teach her how to work with her magic. Roon described herself as a “freelance magic user”, offering up her services to several different magical factions in whatever way she could assist them. She couldn’t be bothered to align with one or the other, so she bounced between them; doing whatever jobs she could to help out without locking herself down into one job. Though nervous to give their daughter away, Roon’s kind heart and genuine interest in their daughter’s future swayed Cecilia’s parents, and after a few weeks of negotiations Cecilia was officially taken on as an apprentice.
Roon quickly learned of Cecilia’s knack for violent magic, and through their training aimed to give her the control and determination to funnel it into something powerful and stable. This, however, was not an easy task. As her easy window for training and working with her magic had come and gone, she had to start trying to control her already growing power; requiring hours of intensive practice whenever she and Roon weren’t with a client. This continued for several years, Cecilia learning to adore her nomadic way of life with her mentor and desiring for it never to change. However, her mentor had other plans.
Cecilia received a letter early into the summer of her turning 11, being nothing but confused as the script spelled out her “acceptance” to Ilvermony. Roon, knowing that even she could not cultivate the young girl’s magic as she hoped, had applied for Cecilia; knowing the stubborn girl would hate the change and refuse if given the option for herself. Though her parents and mentor were proud and excited for Cecilia to begin a new chapter in her life as a witch, Cecilia couldn’t help but mourn the freedom that came with her life with Roon. Many tearful nights ensued as she was slowly convinced to accept the invitation to the school of wizardry, setting off on her first day with nothing but high expectations to make her mentor ever more proud of her.
The young witch quickly made a statement at Ilvermony, being known not quite as a troublemaker but rather simply “independent”. She would follow the rules without complaint, if they suited her that is. Though never making too big of a fuss with her rebellious tendencies, a few stern scrying sessions with Roon put her back on track; Cecilia quickly funneling some of her energy into her house’s Quidditch team. As a Wampus she felt at home with the bustling energy and offensive tactics of the team, and quickly picked up flying with the broom Roon had so lovingly purchased for her. Dueling became another quick hobby she excelled at, and she began to duel competitively outside of her normal classes in the subject. Slowly she found herself settling in to life at school, but things could never be simple in the world of witches and wizards.
However, things didn’t go completely smooth during her first few years. During her third year Cecilia was told about the fate of her mentor, Roon; it wasn’t pretty. After being in a duel with a rogue wizard, Roon had been killed. The circumstances were still muddy, and no one knew where the man who did it had dashed off too, but for a while the world felt like it was crumbling down around her. She stopped going to classes, stopped listening to teachers, stopped doing really anything. Messages from her parents and friends came and went, all the words of love and encouragement falling on deaf ears until Cecilia found a scratchy note tied to her broom one day. With the words of, “Make me proud” inked into the parchment Cecilia immediately broke down into tears, living up to her mentor’s expectations flooding all of her thoughts and desires for the next few years. As she burned herself out, beating herself up over the smallest of failures, she finally found her stride; her mentor on her mind constantly. It only continued to motivate her to work harder, do better, and be the best she could be as a wizard for both herself and for Roon.
Having been able to settle into her somewhat neutral area of popularity, as well as smoothing things over with the teachers she had managed to upset in years prior, things finally started feeling stable and normal in Cecilia’s world. She continued to strive to meet Roon’s expectations, and to feel more comfortable with the perfectionistic tendencies of her own, and thus continued to work and thrive within the school; never feeling satisfied and being alright with it. However, the sudden events within the school sent her for a spin, the nervousness and fear seeping into the students even beginning to prickle at her courageous nature. The uneasiness that filled the school seemed foreign and nerve wracking, and Cecilia could feel that trying to act as though all this hadn’t happened wouldn’t solve a thing. She needed to keep working through the awkwardness and fear that permeated the school, and be ready when the time came for this darkness to rear its’ ugly head.
Quote: “Voldemort? Yeah, I’ll say it. You think after all this we should still be scared of his name? Nah...he’s not the one that spooked everyone. It was his followers. The idea that some guy could get away with all that, and have people really follow him, believe in him...The fact that people could do that is the thing that was scary. That is scary.”
