HISTORY: ⇢ Gwendolyn is the eldest of four children and is a former resident to Boston, Massachusetts. His parents Theodore Faust and Anna-Marie Faust were hard working middle class workers and gave to their children every luxury they could afford and were grateful that their eldest did as much as he could for the family as possible. Young but surprisingly mature for his age, Gwendolyn often took care of the household duties, watched over his siblings and maintained his studies like a well oiled machine without prompting from anyone else. In essence, his life was very simple if not the norm in some cases, depending on where in Boston one resided. However, things began to change when he was eleven. His attempt to make tea resulted in there being a hole in the ceiling from where the kettle rocketed off. Other instances occurred where the dog levitated and was stuck on the ceiling and when they couldn’t get him down were forced to feed the animal with a spoon until whatever happened wore off. The family believed that their home was cursed and were ready to leave the household when Gwendolyn received the invitation to Hogwarts that made things slightly more realistic but not by much. They couldn’t google the school so they were highly skeptical – not to mention it was an owl perched on their lamppost in the middle of the day that delivered it. Gwen took the liberty of verifying for himself whether or not the summons was some elaborate hoax and wrote a letter that he attached to the owl and sent back. A few days later an ambassador arrived and performed magic before their eyes, convincing them of the legitimacy of the notice and with that Gwen was off the Hogwarts.
