Appearance: Reg stands at what he’d call 5’10” and is solidly left handed, making it rather difficult to eat next to anyone in the family, and is often banished to one of the end seats. His brown hair is always styled in a clean-cut manner, and he keeps his facial hair neatly trimmed as well. Thin, black rimmed glasses frame his face, with the same blue as the majority of his family underneath. Reg wouldn’t be caught dead in robes upon graduating Hogwarts, choosing instead to wear muggle fashions; vests with a form of pattern on them are favorable for him over solid ones.

History:

February 14, 1866 Birth	After years of trying, Audrey is finally pregnant again, and gives birth to Reginald in the late afternoon on an unusual snowy day with little fanfare, interrupting the family’s plan to host a Love Day ball. He is a quiet baby until he isn't, and often toddles after his older siblings, wanting to be a part of everything.
1874 Signs of Magic	Tillie is born, rounding on the last of the siblings. He displays his first signs of magic the same year, making a book flip pages on his own as he read a fairytale to her.
1875 Lessons	Reginald likes to write more than he likes to read and often scribbles notes in the margin of books, much to the dismay of his family. He has an opinion on every and likes to voice it. (Just how much and what he says will get better as he ages.). Reg likes to learn other languages, too. He doesn't like math at all.
School Year 1877-1878 First Year	Reg joins Lucy and Anthony in Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, and much like he did as a child, he follows them around until he starts to make friends of his own.
School Year 1878-1879 Second Year	Reg find he doesn’t like practical magic and would much rather read about it; he struggles with DADA and excels in potions, because he can follow directions very well. He tries out for the quidditch team and becomes a chaser. Lucy gets married and Reg isn’t sure how he feels about Charles; he’s okay, he guesses.
School Years 1879-1882 OWLs	Reginald is thrilled to be able to add electives to his schedule; he takes up Divination, History of Magic and Care of Magical Creature. History of Magic has become his favorite course.
School Year 1882-1884 NEWTs	His OWLs are far less impressive than Reg would have hoped, but he didn’t necessarily fail them. He runs for Quidditch Captain but is beat out. Instead Reg doubles down during his NEWT years, and much to his excitement does well enough to enter the Auror Training Program
1884-1885 Auror Training Program	The Auror Training Program is hard and he barely makes it through the first year; someone gets hurts because of him and winds up in the hospital for severe injuries during a field study, which causes him to promptly drops out for personal reasons. He doesn’t trust himself to be able to protect anyone.
1885-1887 Continental Tour	Embarrassed from his recent failure, Reg goes on a continental tour to see what else is out there in life, spending a lot of his time reading historical books and visiting libraries; he runs into Anthony a few times although doesn’t go out of his way to follow him as he once had. (He’s still busy licking his wounds.)
July 1887 - 1891 Return to London	Reg returns home because the World Fair is in town. Deciding he’s ready to stay for a bit and figure out his life, Reg decides to put his passion for writing to use and joins the staff at the Daily Prophet; he enjoys the job because it’s not monotonous and allows him the freedom he desires. Despite his desire to strike out on his own, he continues to live in the London home to be close to his family, mainly so he can be there for Lucy when her husband dies in 1890. Reg chooses to floo into work each morning. He works his way from a lowly staff writer to a sports writer. He’s a little annoyed Anthony decides to sponsor a team soon after because it makes him look biased.
1892 The Season	Finally, Anthony is serious about taking a wife, and Reg leaves him to get married first. He’s more than happy to chaperone Tille, instead.

Personality:
Extrovert. Spontaneous. Intuition.
Like the rest of his family, Reg is morally sound and stays out of the spotlight as much as he can, despite enjoying being the center of attention. (On most occasions, although he is not one to force the spotlight on him when it is someone else’s turn to shine.) He enjoys speaking of controversial topics and reading things that are ambiguous for their meanings. He is one to follow his head more than his heart, as sometimes his emotions are wishy-washy and get him into trouble. He self-assured and well aware of who he is as a person, therefore tends to be outwardly enthusiastic about his own interests. Reg is rather spontaneous, too.
