OC CHARACTER APPLICATION
 | Vito Brando 30 January 13th Owner of Brando’s custom wands and other magical objects Ravenclaw/Hogwarts halfblood (presumed pureblood) Knockturn, London-UK | PERSONALITY: please write a brief paragraph describing your character's personality. A serious and tidy business owner, Vito prides themselves in the items they create and sell. They like to add a little flair to everything they do. Someone could easily describe Vito as both calm and collected while being extra at the same time. It is as if they never really share their true thoughts or goals. Being more of an observer than a participant, Vito prefers to stay out of trouble as best as they can. While they can be deadly if they want to, Vito keeps up the facade of being unable and unwilling to fight. Well the unwilling part is correct, wouldn’t want to screw up a nail now. By many people Vito is considered selfish and greedy. They’re very much content being on their own which mostly is the result of their live experiences. Their cat named Dog is very much the preferred company over humans but that doesn’t mean they just shun out everyone. It’s just that you should never expect Vito to show vulnerability. They pretty much dedicated their lives to their family shop which they pretty much made their own after inheriting it. Once a shabby looking shop is now decorated with dark polished wood, purple velvet and silver linings. Several art decorations hang in the shop which go hand in hand with the beautifully decorated wands and magical items. While they usually are made to order stuff, there are some display items. Growing up in poverty, Vito has a rather unhealthy relationship with the money they do earn. They aren’t very likely to share their small and hard work for wealth. Often they come across as wealthier than they really are. As the Knockturn reputation still gets in the way of attracting the big cash. Not to mention traditionalist purebloods don’t like being seen in their shop. LIKES/DISLIKES: Likes: wine, their cat named dog, the colour purple, gemstones, jewellery, pretty clothes, money, scented candles, butterflies & moths Dislikes: people, difficult customers, the fact that their adult magic item line is more popular than their wands as it started out as a joke, unorganised stuff, the Ministry, being vulnerable ASPIRATIONS: To one day be considered the to go to wand shop instead of Ollivanders. |

Who is Vito? A Knockturn rat who grew up with shitty abusive ever fighting parents and a crazy older sister. They’re Knockturn rat loves wand making and tinkering. Making everything prettier than necessary because the eye likes to be pleased too. This always had been the case from a young age. Even among Knockturn children, Vito had been an outcast. They never understood why people made such a big deal out of the way they acted and liked to dress. Their parents were set on them dressing them according to their assigned gender and were pretty firm on making sure they confirmed to that.
At school they tried to express themselves more but this wasn’t really appreciated by the other students. Vito got bullied at school because people weren’t ready for such fabulousness yet in 1999. They’re also considered kinda weird and creepy being a Knockturn rat and all.
They surprised teachers by being as well behaved as they were as their older sister Silvia got into trouble all the time. Despite this Vito had few friends as hanging out with someone who was being targeted by bullies was often an invitation to get bullied too. Not that Vito minded being alone, they preferred the company of cats, books and scented candles anyways. Like a true mage.
Going into their fifth year they were elected to be a prefect. Which took them by surprise but eagerly accepted it. They might just have given their bullies detention and other punishments with their new found power because they’re petty. They had few friends and kept most relations practical and business only. Their sister became a mother when they were only fifteen. Terrible decision, they pitied the child but didn’t consider it to be their problem.
However in their last year at Hogwarts, their brother in law suddenly died(they knew very well their sister was responsible for it) and their sister and child would move back in at Knockturn. Not wanting the child to grow up with the abusive grandparents, Vito planned their parents’ deaths carefully. They didn’t realise how terrible of a mother their sister was to the child but knowing their sister should have known better.
Vito inherited the shop and started changing a lot. They were frankly too busy to be bothered with their nephew or the upbringing. Not that Silvia would let them close to her child. Vito just let them live in the home above the shop out of pity. Knowing Silvia took the worst of their parents’ abuse being the oldest child which made her the way she was now. As long as mother and son didn’t destroy their precious shop, they would keep them off the streets.
When Dio grew older the little boy was eager to work in Vito’s shop but they weren’t so fond of the idea of a child’s grabby hands getting all over the stuff they put lots of hours in.

Shrugging off the happy fatalism comment, he glanced sideways. “I fear the sunflower children started to affect me after years of sleeping in the same room,” He joked. Perhaps he had accepted fate but that also brought a type of freedom with it. People like him would never live in high castles so why work hard to get there when he could just be? Unlike Vito he wasn’t set on fighting his way out with smart business schemes. In a way he was quite content at the bottom of the social pit.
“There are tricks to get it done. Tad is definitely better at it. I’ve got other qualities,” he said, a hint of a smile playing on his face as he mentioned the older Knockturn rat. “When they pay attention you either distract them or just stab them and take their money.” The second one was more simple and effective. “What are you thinking of stealing?” The cold eyed boy mused.
“Fair point.” Women first handedly experience the creepiness of men, Dio just observed them.
“Cutting it out is probably less messy than ripping it off,” he mused as he eyed his blade. “If you think this is my only one, you are mistaken.” A boy had his hobbies. Perhaps not quidditch like the average wizard. Dio was just being an open minded pureblood admiring muggle tools. Their blades were really different. “Name tattoos are dumb to begin with.”
“Sober tattoos cost you extra,” he teased her with a playful wink. Of course he wasn’t actually going to tattoo while drunk on another person. Crooked lines would form a bad reputation for his art. May he consider making it his future.
Stars reflected in his eyes as he moved to turn back to them. “Then it’s a date,” he playfully said, not actually considering it to be one because Dio didn’t date anyone. He was too free for that sort of sappy stuff. “If there is no one else left perhaps we might not belong to the world but the world would belong to us.”
