Appearance:
Kye stands at 6'2". He is well built - having passed the most trying of his gangly pubescent stage - and keeps himself in shape. Kye's hair is a dark blonde and kept short. Running his fingers through his hair is generally the only way he styles it.
His eyes are a light blue.
When not wearing his Hogwarts uniform, Kye can usually be found wearing comfortable clothes, namely plain shirts, sweaters, the odd leather jacket.

'You still want to know more?'
Personality:
Despite his apparent casual attitude to life, Kye is actually a pretty responsible and hard-working guy. He's a natural Ravenclaw: intelligent, witty, competitive and creative. When he doesn't understand something straight off he won't drop it until he gets it. Some might call this particular trait stubbornness but Kye prefers to term it 'perseverance'. Whatever you call it the end result is that Kye will never let a question go unanswered, his natural inclination is to always find out 'why'. During O.W.Ls you would generally have found Kye head down in the library. He takes his school work seriously.
Kye enjoys a decent laugh, even it his own expense. Anyone with a willingness to laugh will find Kye good company. When he was younger he and his older brothers would have pranking wars with his neighbours, he was always the one who came up with the plan. His mischievousness has become somewhat tamed by his time at Hogwarts, his role as Prefect means he must act as a role model to the younger students... something which isn't always easy to manage.
Kye also has a competitive streak that generally appears at the mention of Qudditch. He proudly supports Puddlemere United and will argue endlessly (usually with his friend Adie Knox who cheers the Montrose Magpies) on the pros and cons of their respective favourites. When it comes to actually playing the game... well, he doesn't exactly come out on top. To quote his father, "Kyburn, you've got as much talent on that broom as your grandmother has real teeth" - considering Kye's grandmother was toothless really shows his lack of flying ability.
Modesty is also something Kye lacks although in less quantities than skill on a broom.

History:
Kye's family is about as pureblooded as the come, apparently able to trace their ancestry back to the ancients (something Kye believes all pureblood families are obsessed with doing). His family also has a proud history of always being placed in Ravenclaw. Both his parents, Matilda and Alexander Reid, were Ravenclaws. His older brothers, Lysander and Malcolm, also found themselves in Ravenclaw. Kye's older brothers had teased the younger boy endlessly before he was sorted, leading him to believe that if he wasn't placed in Ravenclaw he would be abandoned in a smelly bog and left for Dragon feed. It was only after he had been sorted into Ravenclaw - the sorting hat had barely touched his head when it announced his house - that he realised how ridiculous his brothers' lies were.
Kye grew up in a small town called 'Wingnuts'. The majority of the community was magical and Kye befriended the young witch next door, Adie Knox. They are still close friends today, despite being in different houses and a year apart.
Growing up surrounded by magic meant that Kye rarely interacted with muggles. He has always been curious about their science and, although he wouldn't admit it openly, enjoys reading muggle books. When he was able to he immediately took Muggle Studies and finds their endless creativity and ingenuity astounding.
His years at Hogwarts have so far been the best of his life. In his first year Kye made a few firm friends and, as the years progressed, his circle of friends grew. Of course there are those who dislike him, as he dislikes them. But he generally avoids those individuals, preferring not to have unnecessary conflict.
In his fifth year he became Ravenclaw prefect, a position which gave him added responsibility. As he also had to study for O.W.Ls that year he was almost constantly busy. When he did have free time he would take a trip to Hogsmeade with friends and enjoy a butterbeer in the comfort and warmth of the Three Broomsticks or purchase sweets from Honeydukes.
