Personality: Rafe is usually very outgoing a charming. He's a bit old-fashioned thanks to his mom and definitely believes in the old ways of chivalry. He does have a temper at time, but usually only when provoked. He is very independent and usually does things himself, but when the occasion calls he will ask for the help from his friends. He is always up for an adventure and willing to try new things. Rafe is always up for a bit of trouble (and tends to get away with it too).

History: Rafe's parents are Raoul and Rachel Lycoan. His father had a bad reputation and was a prominent leader of one of the largest werewolf clans of Romania, if not all of Europe. He typically rebelled against his true nature and even took a common witch for a bride. They were forbidden to ever have a child, for it was highly frowned upon their people for it wouldn't be a "pureblood" werewolf. Their kind were free to bite children and adopt them as their own, but never conceive a child if they were not both werewolves.

As time went on Raoul became more and more thirsty for power, biting whoever he wished to build an army to take over all the werewolf clans in Romania (and now moving into Vampire territory). This was tearing Rachel apart, for she dearly loved her husband, but didn't agree with his actions.

However, sometime during Raoul's thirst for power, Rachel had conceived a child and was terrified of telling Raoul. She knew this child would be killed the moment it was born, if not before. Rachel tried to conceal this secret as long as possible, but a child's heartbeat can be heard with the werewolf's heightened senses, so her secret was soon revealed. Raoul was furious and many of his inner circle demanded she should be killed. But, Raoul still dearly loved his wife and tricked his inner circle that he killed her and his child, while secretly helping her to escape, making Rachel promise never to return or acknowledge Raoul as her husband. Rachel left heartbroken and eventually did escape, but before she left Romania for good, she went into labor.

Rachel gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and named him Rafe after Raoul's grandfather. It was a difficult labor and she almost gave up her will to survive until she saw her beautiful so who had Raoul's sparkling green eyes. She thought she could never love again until she saw this child, but at the same time her son, reminded her of everything she had to leave behind.

Rafe had a difficult childhood. Every month he would go through his spells of being furious and torn and sometimes violent. Though he never would completely change into a werewolf, he did have some werewolf-like tendencies, like only eating raw meat, being moodier once a month, which included sharp pains, overreacting, and his eyes would change beaded black, but other than that he looked quite normal (well, minus the facial hair, but he says its a growth hormone spell gone wrong).

His mother loves him unconditionally though she hardly ever shows it. She raised him herself, teaching him spells and about different cultures all over Europe. For eleven years, they traveled and never settled down, until Rachel decided it was time for him to attend a wizarding school. Though she favored Durmstrang, she decided that it would be best for him to attend Hogwarts and they finally settled in England.

At Hogwarts, Rafe made many new friends and became a bit of a ladies' man. He would do anything for his friends. But now, you might see a change in Rafe. This past summer he went to find his father with his friend Kat. Rafe succeeded and faced the possibility of execution, but his father had him spared. Raoul insisted for him to be trained like his army of werewolves, where he learned new spells and became more physically fit. Rafe doesn't look like your typical 13-year-old and he certainly doesn't act like it either.


Simply noteworthy: Rafe loves Quidditch. L.O.V.E. After playing his first year, he's determined to play again and hopefully for the rest of his life. He's not open about being half-werewolf and only his closest friends and a few professor know of his condition.
