Character
Name: Harry Potter
Canon: Harry Potter

Familiar
Name: Rose
Species: Pygmy Puff
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: His ex has a Pygmy Puff and Fred and George once sold Pygmy Puffs for their business, a nice way to remember his friends by.
Special features: Pink, small, fluffy, has wide blue eyes, and her charm points are beyond 9,000!
How do they communicate?: She can’t talk, but she is sentient and knows how to emote her feelings, emotions, and thoughts through body language and squeaks.
Personality: Cheerful, outgoing and playful little bundle of joy who likes befriending people, animals, and familiars alike and getting pet, and sometimes gets nervous when things go scary. She is also very brave even when things get tough, though it might take a while for her to get over her nerves. Very affectionate and loyal towards her master like an adorable little puppy or kitty.
Relationship with your character: She and Harry get along well swimmingly since day 1. Who wouldn’t say no to a cutie like her?
The FAQ says familiars have "shit to do" when not attending their bonded character. What does your familiar do in its off hours?: Dancing, trying to befriend people, snuggling, eating a lot of fruits and veggies
Does, or would, your familiar get along with other familiars?: She will try to befriend anyone and anything. She is really a very eager puffball.

Magic
Magic Types: Kinetic / Elemental (Currently has Fire, Ice, and Lighting, will unlock Water soon)
Why did you pick these types for your character?: I first picked Kinetic magic because I have this headcanon of wandless magic being similar to telekinesis. And elemental is chosen because I have this funny mental image of Harry accidentally setting things on fire and him mastering elemental magic sounds cool. Also they are a representation of his growth in canon: from a child in awe of magic to an emo teen to a headstrong confidant adult.
How does your character cast their magic? Harry needs to think hard to conjure up elements and make things move, teleport, slow or increase speed, etc. He needs to watch out for over-thinking and losing his s**t though. Often times, he uses hand and arm gestures to assist him in channeling both magics.
How does your character feel about their magic?: Harry has gotten very good with kinetic magic (with only flight yet to master) and he is no longer burning things by accident anymore (unless he gets a magical flu or any other magic related chaos) and he is slowly gaining a lot of confidence in elemental magic.
How skilled is your character with their magic? He has gotten really good with telekinesis, speed manipulation, telekinetic push and pull, and fire, ice, & lightning magic. Harry constantly practices magic at the training grounds and does use kinetic magic to help him in his barista work and has used fire magic recently to heat water up for hot drinks and as a light source whenever he does quests.
Has your character learned any spells from Recipes, and do they use them?: He has used the Celliwig Ruins Totem to do the Don’t Lose Your Head Quest with Kainé.
Has your character brewed any potions, if able?: He has brewed Opalesce, but he hasn’t used it just yet since brewing it.
Is there anything you would like to do with your character's magic that you haven't done yet?: He hasn’t learn to use kinetic magic to fly and he has yet to unlock plenty of many elements, though he will get water magic soon.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: Since controlling fire magic properly, he has gotten more comfortable having elemental magic along with kinetic magic these days. As for familiars, he is perfectly happy with Rose and he wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Anything else?: Nope! None, Nada, Zilch.
