Appearance:

Quite the looker in his younger years, Jonah has not lost all of his youthful charm to old age. He still stands at a tall five feet, nine inches tall and maintains impeccable posture, carrying himself just as he did as a young man hoping to be taken seriously in the adult world. His blond hair has lost most of its pigment, but his eyes are the same piercing grey they've always been. Although in his youth he favored more practical garments, he's taken to traditional, often embellished wizarding robes since middle age. He wields his wand with his right hand.

History:

A Lifetime Ago
1814 | Chastity gives birth to a healthy baby boy in the late evening on the night before Christmas Eve. The birth of a son—an heir—is celebrated, but does not come without sacrifices; Chastity is weak in the aftermath of the birth, and Christmas is spent with Thomas and the household staff praying that she would recover. She recovers shortly before New Year's.

1817 | The Fawcett family welcomes a pair of fraternal twins named Vernon and Verona (the latter who is named after the couple's honeymoon destination). Jonah does not take well to the new addition to their household, and begins throwing tantrums at the expense of his already overworked nanny.

1819 | Jonah begins his education under the guidance of a tutor. Later in the year he displays his first sign of magic while pretend-dueling with two-year-old Vernon. While pretending to cast a curse, his brother's stick goes up in flames. Both boys panic and nearly set the lawn alight.

1820 | His family welcomes another babe, this time a girl they named Elisa.

1824 | The family vacations in Italy for the summer, and Jonah is able to learn enough Italian to keep him interested in learning the language in the following years.

At Hogwarts
1826 | Jonah begins Hogwarts in the fall and is sorted into Slytherin. He takes an immediate liking to Charms and Magical Theory, and is always eager to discover in what ways magic does and does not work. Possessing a curious mind, one might think he was better-suited for Ravenclaw—that is until they witness his competitive streak in the classroom. He feels the need to top his year in every class, even ones he does not enjoy.

1828 | Third year comes with three new classes: Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, and Care of Magical Creatures.

1830 | Jonah—to no one's surprise, much less his own—is appointed Slytherin prefect the summer before fifth year. He demands respect from his classmates, in less of a petulant way and more in a "I will make you suffer if you don't" way. Unpopular as he is, he doles out the most points (but also takes the most away, he smugly admits to anyone who asks).

1831 | Jonah takes his OWL examinations and receives his results in the summer. Like any self-respecting perfectionist, Jonah continues into his sixth year with seven NEWT-level classes: Ancient Runes, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Alchemy, and Herbology.

1832 | His seventh year supply list comes without the head boy badge, and Jonah silently sulks about it for the remainder of the summer. Most of seventh year is spent prepping for his NEWT examinations.

1833 | Jonah graduates from Hogwarts after taking his NEWT exams.

Down the Path of Academia
1833 (cont.) | Jonah goes into the research field immediately after graduating (even against his parents' wishes, as they would have rather seen him enter the Ministry). He apprentices under a Mr. -----, a magical theorist who takes Jonah to Africa and later South America in order to prove his theories about how magic is spread from parents to children.

1836 | After his mentor publishes his manuscript, Jonah begins writing his own. The two part ways, his mentor's research having concluded for the time being, and Jonah takes to his own studies from within Britain.

1840 | After nearly four years of collaborating with other academics in the field, Jonah releases his book, What It Means To Be A Wizard. For all the controversy certain claims draw, its statistical data on the amount of purebloods, muggleborns, and muggle-magical marriages within is lauded as the first major study of its kind.

A Drastic Change
1842 | Jonah accepts the post of Magical Theory professor at Hogwarts. He takes to his new job with ease and finds himself more comfortable amongst eleven-year-olds than he ever thought possible. There is a certain comfort in explaining the basics in magic to children; they do not have the same skepticism as adults, nor does he need to prove beyond simply his title of professor that he should be considered an authority in the field.
