Background: Digger was born to a muggle mother and a halfblood father. His father wasn’t around much, so Digger had a very deep, loving and caring relationship with his mother. He spent lots of time as a child with her; she taught him to read, write and much more. However, unknown to Digger, his mother was very sick. Digger would often hear her crying at night (or sometimes during the day), but she always smiled at him and never cried in front of him. She always made their days interesting. But one morning when he was 5, Digger woke up to find the house eerily quiet. When he went to find his mother, he found her hanging from the railing that overlooked into the living room. The only number he knew was his house number and the emergency number. He called the emergency number, then huddled in his parents’ closet, gripping his mother’s nightgown.
Digger never forgot that day and how he heard the words “sick” and “mental”. He was too young to understand then, however. Digger’s father brought him to a psychiatrist shortly after the funeral, but Digger refused to speak. He remained a selective mute until he was 13, only speaking to his friends.
The death of his mother had a tough impact on Digger and his father. Their relationship suffered and, eventually, Digger would go days without seeing his father. A governess was hired to raise him after his mother’s death. Digger attached himself greatly to her. But when he was sent off to Hogwarts, the governess was fired. Digger’s father claimed that he was capable of taking care of himself. Digger didn’t allow himself to become that attached to anyone ever again. He had sporadic relationships during his youth, which eventually turned into hook ups and one night stands. He always left the other person before they could leave him, desperately trying to protect himself from further hurt.
He went through a time of self-harm, burning himself with cigarettes and candles. Digger moved out of his home when he was 17 and "of age" in the wizarding world. He traveled through Europe for a year and finally ended up in Italy, where he went to school to get his masters in Transfiguration.
Roleplay sample: Not needed.
But I like giving them psychological issues, lol. =[
