Appearance: Tall-ish, Tag stands about 5 ft. 8 in. tall and is rather lanky in form. He has some muscles from working with his father on breaks, but they’re often hidden beneath his impeccable clothing he wears. He’s right handed, both with wand and writing. He’s kind of clumsy, though he does his best to hide it, hence the well-fitting clothing that covers any bumps or bruises he gets when he trips over thin air. Short cropped brown hair is a little longer on top, but it’s usually found well taken care of, groomed impeccably. He has a slightly larger nose than he’s pleased with, but he can’t change it so he’s kinda stuck with it.
History: Pre-birth: Alphonse and Roxie marry as an arranged marriage, and not for love. Theirs is one of convenience because Roxie is a closeted lesbian but believes that her duties as a wife supersede her happiness. Hence the five daughters and one son.
1872: Taggart is born in the middle of the night. Even though it was Roxie’s last and final birth, it was also her easiest. Tag was born in a matter of hours and there was almost no need for a midwife.
1874: Taggart gets sick and almost dies. This causes his older sisters to dote on him, giving him whatever he wants. Boy does he eat up that attention…
1878: Tag finds a puppy on the side of a side street in London. He begs his sisters to let him bring it home. Jeffrey becomes his stalwart companion until he dies four years later.
1882: When Jeffrey dies, Tag tries to dig a hole on his own to bury the dog in the park nearby. When a constable finds him digging, he gets into trouble. This is when Tag finds out he’s has magic. For the longest time he thought he was special, doing what all Muggle kids do when they find out that they're magical, pretending he was the only one and that he was going to save the world.
Summer 1884: Taggart gets a visit from a staff member from Hogwarts after almost a year and a half of thinking he was the sole magic user in the world. He had tried so hard to do more magic regularly than how sporadic it was, but when the staff member from Hogwarts finally showed up and talked to his family, Taggart realized that he wasn't as special as he thought he was, but that he was something even better than special: he was a wizard.
1884-1888: Tag FINALLY gets to go to Hogwarts. He is immediately Sorted into Slytherin where he fits perfectly. He excels at his classes and even makes a few friends. Although Trixie is a Ravenclaw and Dolores is ______, they tend to mesh well. They’re very anti-Topaz and Holliday. It’s great. It was during this time at Hogwarts that Taggart becomes obsessed with the Church of Magical Jesus. As a muggleborn wizard, the fact that they believe they’re closest to godliness is utterly enthralling to Tag. He spends all his free time in church stuff and proselytizes with everyone he meets.
Personality: Snobby – fanatical – spoiled – opinionated
Other: He seriously considers the death of Jeffrey the hound dog to be the deciding moment in his life that altered everything in his life. Without Jeffrey dying, he wouldn’t be a wizard, he wouldn’t have found the CMJ and life would be so much different.
