Wiley is tall and thin with long, lanky limbs. He already stands at four feet, ten inches tall, and, based on his current height, is likely to be taller than average. He has the same chestnut hair and green eyes that he shares with his sister, and a rounded, dimpled face. He dresses in whatever his mother puts him in; he loathe fashion and any outfit that isn't practical. He is right-handed.History:
1878 | Wiley is born the eldest son and second child to the Borgins. He is a happy baby, albeit a loud one. He earns the disdain of his sister rather quickly, but his mother is rather fond of him.Personality:
1882 | Wiley is nearly attacked by a little girl's older brother after telling her she acted like "mudblood", a phrase he learned from his parents. He can never bring himself to speak it again, especially in the company of outsiders. In hindsight, he doubted the girl was actually a mudblood, and that her older brother was just looking for an excuse to beat someone up.
1884 | Trxie goes off to Hogwarts before he even learns to read, which is mildly annoying because she's off learning magic whereas he has yet to show his first sign of it. His insecurities are made worse when he hears his mother talking to his father about him possibly being a squib, which would be both disgraceful and no fun at all.
1886 | There is still no sign of magic, but Wiley resolves to force it by reading books about magic. They're mainly children's books, with some even being boring storybooks for kids, but all he needs is some inspiration... right?
1888 | Wrong. His tenth birthday comes and he cannot bring himself to admit to the few friends he has that he has yet to show signs of magic. His sister is thoroughly convinced that he's a squib, and his parents seem less worried than ever about having to afford a Hogwarts education for him. Until...
1889 | Two weeks before his eleventh birthday, the neighborhood boys "find out" that he's a squib, which angers Wiley tot he point of violence. Never one for conflict, a violent outbursts means throwing rocks across the street, which happens to break a passing carriage window. Everyone scatters, including Wiley, who happens to disappear completely. He reappears moments later in front of his mother, wide-eyed and terrified. The moment is quickly forgotten when his mother nearly bursts into tears at the revelation that her son is indeed a wizard.
1890 | The time for school approaches. Beatrix is out of school and married off, leaving Wiley with a clear path to an uneventful five years at Hogwarts. He's more concerned about getting his wand than what homework he'll have to finish, but is nevertheless excited.
