Appearance: Aggy doesn’t have the typical Lestrange or Macnair coloring as would be expected. His hair is far lighter than his siblings and could even be considered blond in some lights. His eyes a pale green in hue and quite frequently dart around, always assessing his surroundings and taking things in. He’s on the taller spectrum of things, standing at five foot seven, and has a somewhat lanky build with little muscle tone. His clothing is fashionable enough as to be expected but he puts little focus on such things, finding such frivolities unnecessary. He is right handed.

History:

1864: On a rather cold December morning, twin boys are born. Agrimony is the first to make his appearance into the world, his brother Betony to follow. Where Agrimony is quiet and calm, Betony is loud and boisterous.
1868: Another son is born, Yarrow. Agrimony’s first sign of magic comes by silencing his twin when he mimics the wails of the baby.
1871: Another son is born, Germander. At seven, Agrimony realizes what he is but has little interest in him.
1872: Yet another son is born, Sage. Again, Agrimony pays him little attention.
1875: Agrimony’s uncle goes off his rocker and murders people. The aftermath results in his cousin, Tatiana Lestrange, moving in with the family.
1876: Agrimony is quite glad to be going to school and finds himself sorted into Ravenclaw. He feels more at home with the Ravenclaws than he’s ever felt with his family and actually makes a few close friends that he’ll maintain through the years. He tries to remain behind at school on any holiday that he is able to.
1878: A year after the muggle riots, the family moves from London to Hogsmeade. Agrimony adds Ancient Runes, Ancient Studies, Arithmancy, and Earth Magic to his schedule.
1881: Agrimony scores remarkably well on his OWLs but decides to drop Arithmancy,  Astronomy, Charms, and History of Magic.
1883: Graduation comes and goes and Agrimony once again does rather well on his tests. He proves a natural with potions and herbology and continues to play around with both subject upon completion of his school. But while his mother is quite adept at working with poisons, Agrimony seems to have an affinity for antidotes and the healing aspects of potions and plants.
1884: Mariana is infected with the plague but manages to survive it. Betony ends up dying at her hands, though no one is any the wiser at the time, but Agrimony survives the dosing of poison. Before any further poisoning can happen, the house burns down. Instead of rebuilding the house, they move once again to the family’s country estate near the Loch Ness.
1885: Agrimony ends up quite sick on and off throughout the year. There are times that are worse than others but he begins to question what exactly it is that’s going on. He has assumptions but says nothing and eventually becomes much more wary about partaking of any food or beverage that he has not personally seen to himself.
1886: His suspicions make him paranoid and he’s nearly convinced his mother is trying to kill him. Why? He’s not entirely sure but suspects she’s simply crazy and bitter. Regardless, he refuses to live under the same roof as her and moves out. He starts out by renting out rooms at Black’s but the stay there is short lived as his paranoia grows stronger over his mother. He decides to go on a long trip to South America to research different magical plants located there. He makes some discoveries as he goes and writes about them to earn some more income to supplement what little allowance he’s still provided.
1888: Agrimony still bounces around from place to place. Sometimes he lives in Hogsmeade and others he’s in London or Irvingly. He’s even gone as far as to stay with friends in their homes. However, he maintains a small apartment in London under a different name specifically for experiments. It’s where he spends most of his time when he isn’t feeling too worried about Mariana. Whenever he feels particularly paranoid over his mother and her attempts, he goes on a new expedition. In the meantime, he continues to work on finding an antidote that would work against as many poisons as possible and has even gone so far as to test his own blood. He has written a number of articles and even published a book on magical plants specifically for healing.
