Eric Mothwing-Marshall, House Beavertail

Name, etc.: Eric is a tall young man, lean though not terribly in shape, with long but above-shoulder-length black hair. He's creative and intelligent, though these traits can often go to waste given his tendency to let things slip his mind. He's bad at meeting new people, getting anxious when made to socialize, but the friends he does make he appreciates. He particularly enjoys learning about magical creatures and enchanted objects, though he panics and procrastinates when faced with larger assignments. Eric is excited for what Boarbristle can teach him, having heard about it from his magical relatives on his mother's side of the family, though he's not eager to see how his "talent" manifests itself in this new environment. (For reference, pretty much just heterosexual.)

Applied to the Academy: He'd always sort of assumed he'd end up at the magical academy, though as he aged into his late teens a new reason to fear and look forward to it made itself known. A particular quirk of Eric's magic often results in clothing around or on him getting destroyed, disappeared, or otherwise damaged. (Some of his older relatives blamed it on Marjorie Mothwing, a mischievous ancestor that had willfully spent more time than she should've in the Tarn.) Hopefully his time training in school can grant him some level of control over the power... though who knows how much trouble it could get him in until then.

House: Beavertail. His lack of Ambition or Bravery keep him out of Draconis and Leontes, and while his Cunning makes him suited for Minerval, Eric prefers the low pressure, more welcoming environment of Beavertail, though some of his housemates give him a hard time over how flustered he can be about certain things.
