PET(S):

GENERAL HISTORY:
Arnold was born to a single mother, his father having died shortly after his conception. His mother and uncle, a witch and wizard respectively, raised him in the countryside in Northern Europe, where he picked up the hobby of falconry from his uncle. He took to the art with vigor, and it instilled in him a discipline and sense of partnership. He eventually displayed signs of magic, something his family was overjoyed to see, and received his Hogwarts letter by owl, unfortunate because at the time he was hunting with his partner, a falcon that saw and attacked the owl. The falcon killed the owl, but broke one of its wings in the process, and Arnold was forced to mercy kill the bird. The event left Arnold with a hate for owls.
Arnold was sorted into Ravenclaw, the Sorting Hat deciding that his discipline, intelligence and cunning could land him in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, and he, being a fan of birds, requested to be put in the former. Arnold's life at Hogwarts was relatively simple, he found himself adept at Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. In his fourth year of studies, he met his wife-to-be, a Slytherin girl by the name of Leah. The two eventually started dating, and, shortly after school, married. Arnold became an Auror after one of the examiners during his OWL's suggested to him he would be a good candidate for an Auror. He registered as an Animagus at the age of 28. After his wife was murdered by a Dark wizard, Arnold developed anger issues and became more interested in making those he hunted suffer before having them see justice, though never quite crossing that fine line into becoming a criminal himself.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE: Arnold's breath caught in his throat as he looked in a mirror for the first time after Imperator tried clawing his eye out, looking at the jagged lines and discoloration of his eye caused by the razor sharp talons. He sighed, staring at himself for another moment and shrugged. I suppose I should count my blessings that mom's a Healer. If she were a Muggle, I'd probably be without a right eye. Maybe Leah'll dig the scars. He thought to himself with a forlorn chuckle, rubbing the scars and wiggling his eyebrows, wincing as he felt the recently mended muscle throb in dissent, clearly displeased to be moving so soon. He scoffed and rubbed it again for a moment, turning and leaving the bathroom of his family home.
His uncle and mother sat in the living room, drinking tea. They turned to look at him, and he held out his arms in resignation, shrugging and laughing.
“My face is all sorts of fucked up,” He said. His mother looked at him with bloodshot eyes. “I'm sorry, Arnold, but the wounds were deep. I did the best I could,” she said, her voice watery. Arnold winced again as his uncle favored him with a sympathetic grimace.
“I didn't mean it like that, mom, really, I'm glad you could do this much for me, I appreciate it. I'm just worried what Leah will think, is all,” he replied, folding his arms and sighing yet again. “I'm gonna need a new bird, too,” he said with a groan, rubbing his temples and taking a seat in the cushy brown armchair that sat nearest to the fireplace in the far side of the room.
“Leah won't think any less of you, I'm sure,” Arnold's uncle's gravelly voice cut through the silence, “And we'll get you a new bird, though I'm not too sure another eagle would be a good idea, at least until you're a bit older and look a bit more imposing. Imperator was a pretty good example of why you don't mess around with birds you're not ready for, kiddo. I'm just glad I took care of him before he could do any more damage to you.” Arnold nodded, rubbing the scars on his nose.
“Well,” he said, “I'm going to go send off a letter, I do believe. Maybe open up by telling Leah I've got horrendous luck with birds,” he chuckled darkly and stood, leaving the somber atmosphere of the living room.
