Gender is but a suggestion to Eden when it comes to clothes. If he thinks something is cute, heβs going to wear it, and he doesnβt give a damn what anyone else thinks. Heβs been seen in the Three Broomsticks in a skirt and heels and in a dress at one of his familyβs parties. But, day to day, he does tend to stick to the more masculine end of the spectrum with the exception of makeup. Bad acne in his early teenage years left him with a lot of scarring that even the best skincare canβt seem to budge, so heβs usually wearing, at the very least, foundation and concealer. Heβs got just the one tattoo, a scatter of stars on the back of his right arm, but has two helix piercings and a tragus piercing in his left ear and one helix in his right. His nose is also pierced.

Eden is pretty. Itβs the easiest way to describe his soft but distinctive features. Thereβs something almost feminine about him- maybe itβs the fact that his big, sky blue eyes are framed with long, dark lashes that most girls dream of, or the way his naturally dark hair curls so perfectly around his face. Since he was fifteen, heβs had some shade of blonde. Heβs a little over average height and slim, not that muscular. (He tells himself itβs an advantage as a chaser.) While his skin is now clear and glowing for the most part, it took a lot of work to get it that way and heβs been left with bad acne scarring on his face, shoulders, and back that he always has covered, and often uses his abilities to hide. He also has a number of childhood scars, most noticeably a raised, jagged scar on his right knee from where he fell on to a piece of glass.

L I K E S
He adores bright colours, especially in his wardrobe. When not in class, he almost always has some form of tea in his hands. He adores big dogs and wishes they were an approved pet in Hogwarts. He loves fresh flowers. He loves sweets and spends significant amounts of time in Honeydukes on his Hogsmeade visits. He's got a crazy sweet tooth and as a result adores Butterbeer. He loves people who live their truth and who are unashamed about who they are. He loves spending time outdoors, just doing ordinary things in the fresh air. He loves blankets and the Slytherin common room has acquired an array of them over the years. His talent for knitting has meant that over recent years, more and more of them have become handmade. Singing and choir is one of the only things that can relax him when heβs intensely stressed.
D I S L I K E S
He hates people touching his arms as it makes him highly uncomfortable. He hates bananas (but loves banana flavored sweets). He hates people who judge him or who assume heβs a stereotype. Sweet perfume makes him gag. Snakes creep him out and spiders terrify him. Most muggle sports bore him to death, but gobstones isnβt much better. He doesnβt understand how people enjoy coffee that isnβt sweetened and flavored beyond belief. He hates normalized bigotry and hates the old Slytherin reputation.

Eden is the prime example of the new breed of Slytherins, determined to bring the house away from itβs dark past and negative reputation. He fits all of the distinguishing traits of a Slytherin- cunning and ambitious, and occasionally ruthless. But the Dark Arts have never called to Eden, and heβs as equally proud of his Muggle blood as he is his Wizarding blood. And he fully intends to lead by example. Having an openly pansexual half-blood who doesnβt believe in gender norms and who wears makeup practically every day as a Slytherin Prefect might make many other famous Slytherins shake their heads and question what the house has come to- and Eden takes pride in that fact. His ambition leads him to make his house the best he can be, and he has no time for those who try and drag him back.
Heβs openly affectionate and friendly, and doesnβt believe in tough love. The Sorting Hat considered putting him in Hufflepuff, and itβs not hard to see why. Heβs unafraid of hard work as every ounce of work brings him closer to attaining his goals. Eden will stand by his friends no matter what, and will do everything he can to help them out. Ever since he was a first year himself, heβs always been looking out for those that have a hard time settling in and becoming friends with them. Itβs not uncommon to see him surrounded by a gaggle of first years, often from multiple houses, helping them with their transfiguration homework or reassuring them about whatever myth is scaring them nowadays.
But Eden is, at the end of the day, a Slytherin, and even if he doesnβt fit the stereotype, that doesnβt mean that he doesnβt share the traits. His ambition is perhaps his biggest weakness. Eden wants, needs, to be great, to do something, to have people remember him. Heβll stay up until all hours studying to make sure he gets the best grade possible, heβll train harder and longer than anyone else. Heβll risk burning himself out for the sake of his own goals. Heβs so afraid of being forgotten that he needs to be unforgettable- no matter the cost. The fact heβs recently become somewhat of a sensation on social media for his witty commentary on what the general public seems to be a (possibly fictional) eccentric boarding school has done nothing to appease that need, as heβs well aware it could just be a flash in the pan, a moment of fame before it vanishes. Or maybe itβs just because his desire is so deeply rooted that nothing will ever be enough for him.

Johnny Thomas | 48 | Muggle | Alive
As Johnny himself says, his life became a whole new level of weird when magic was introduced into his life, and nothing much phases him now. Having an son who sometimes wears skirts and whoβs willing to date anyone pretty is no weirder than anything else in his life, and as a result, him and Eden are close. Johnny doesnβt claim to understand everything, but he tries and he makes a point of telling Eden that he loves and supports him, no matter what.
Rosanna Thomas (nΓ©e Martin) | 47 | Witch | Alive
Rosanna and Eden were always close when Eden was younger. But Rosanna retreated into herself after losing her daughter, and a distance grew between her and Eden that became difficult to bridge. Even if sheβs far more open-minded than her family, their prejudices were ingrained deep into her mind, and she found it difficult to accept Eden at first. She could handle him not being straight, but his openness about it and his dress sense was harder for her to accept. Sheβs trying to reconcile with him now, but the distance between them is significant. Still, a cute tartan skirt as a present to Eden was a good start.
Astoria Thomas | Deceased at 19 | Witch | Deceased
Losing Astoria was a hard loss to Eden, and itβs something heβs still only coming to terms with. It shook him deeply, and he misses her incredibly.

Edenβs maternal grandfather was every inch the typical Slytherin. Though not a fully fledged Death Eater, he was known to support them and to dabble in the Dark Arts. Muggles were an inferior species and deserved to be treated as such. So when his youngest daughter, Rosanna, began dating a Muggle, he threatened to cut her off entirely. Rosanna responded by packing her own bags and storming out. Sheβd met her true love in the muggle, Johnny, and they were married two years later, having a their first child, Astoria, two years after that.
Eden was five years younger than Astoria, but that never seemed to come between them growing up. Astoria doted on her younger brother, and Eden cried all day when Astoria left for Hogwarts. This was also around the time when Eden was beginning to exhibit his magical abilities, which presented a lot of issues for his parents, but they got through it. Astoria was a Gryffindor and she was so proud of that, redecorating her room in red and gold and declaring that the lion was now her favourite animal. Eden wrote her letters every single week, and she always responded. It was a weekly tradition that continued until Eden left for Hogwarts himself. When he was sorted into Slytherin and found himself sitting on the opposite side of the hall to his wonderful big sister, he was heartbroken, and it only worsened when he heard of the historic rivalry between the two houses and found himself living somewhere cold and dark beneath the lake.
With time, though, he settled in, and the rivalry between him and Astoria remained a playful sibling one. He began a personal challenge of making the Slytherin common room more welcoming, and found that despite old ideas, he did belong in the house. He was in fourth year when he was called to Professor McGonagallβs office and was told that Astoria had been killed in a tragic accident while working for the Ministry. Theyβd returned to their weekly habit of sending each other letters, and he had been writing his reply to her. The fear and shock of losing her so quickly traumatized Eden, and he found himself developing an obsession of being unforgettable. If something happened to him, he needed to know that he would be remembered. He embraced who he was and became a larger than life personality, became the person you could go to if you were stuck, became the person who always seemed to know the answer when asked. It paid off with him being given the role of prefect this year, but he still needs to be even greater than he already is.

Ever since he was young, Eden has been able to change his appearance at will. He can change everything about his appearance, from being able to just change the colour of his eyes to being able to mimic an entirely different person. He finds it tiring, and the longer he holds it the more tiring it is, but heβs found that the more he practices, the longer heβs able to hold it and the easier it gets. Mostly, he just uses it to change his hair colour or shift his appearance to match an outfit, but he occasionally likes to shift his appearance entirely.
