Personality:
Tom is just a bit spoiled and used to getting his own way, since his older brother probably babied him and protected him a bit more than he should have. Tom is a very serious kid and loves to read and learn, but dislikes noise, chaos and general tomfoolery. It is possible, just maybe, that he thinks too highly of his own intelligence, and he really wants people, especially adults, to notice him. But he'd never admit that in a million years.

Tom's a bit socially awkward and unsure of himself around other kids, since he's never really been around any before, so he mostly just hopes that he can make friends and not make a fool of himself.

History:
Tom was born in Moscow on November 20, 2075, to Charles and Nadia (Dolohov) Selwyn. His mother left when Tom was young enough that he only has the barest memories of her, and his father is a distant, proud sort of man who refuses to ask for help or take a job he feels is beneath him. As a result, Tom and his brother Will shouldered most of the responsibility of taking care of each other, including Will's decision to attend a day school in Russia so that he could be home with Tom nearly every afternoon.

In the spring of 2087, after some sort of nasty business with a few other Russian wizards (Tom isn't sure of the details), Charles decided to take his children back to England. And now Tom is excited to be able to attend Hogwarts!
