Personality
Naire has a more quiet personality, and quite rather prefers to remain silent and take in the scenes around himself. Through his camera he has learned that there are so many things to love, as well as the tiniest detail in something makes one of the largest distinctions. However, the boy tries to take every opportunity that presents itself to him in order to live life to its fullest. He's extremely shy at times, but then can also become a bit more mellow and laid back, depending on his surroundings as well as mood.
For years he's been known as "The Kid with the Camera", and he's come to adore the nickname, no matter how harsh it was meant to be in reality. He's one to stick with his guts, and likes taking nature shots with Chopstick, his small burrowing owl. The tiny bird has captured a lot of attention around the world, as well as Naire's other works.
The guy has also a fairly good sense of humor, and really enjoys making up inside jokes with anyone really. He has a love to trigger laughter, and likes to see what different vocals everyone has. However, he tries not to let people like him just because of his accent, which has happened on more than one occasion.
He also really loves cards, and the sound of the cards being slapped together in shuffling is constantly heard around the castle. It's something he likes to do with his fingers while he looks around.
History
Naire surprisingly comes from a pure-blood line, though he's constantly forgetting that. Both of his parents were wizards, so he was raised right comfortably in the wizarding world, thus being familiarized with it obviously early on. His grandparents came from Australia to America to start over, so Naire retains some of that Australian accent. He was born in the chilly state of Michigan, and that's where his love for photography grew.
At the age of ten, he was given a camera for his birthday. No need to say that he was overjoyed by the new contraption. In fact, he drove his family down right nuts with its constant flashing and the rebounding noise after the picture was taken. So he was shoved out of the house many times a day to go entertain himself, and so he did. He began to take pictures that grew and grew in their detail and positions, and had a simple affection for doing such.
On his eleventh birthday, Naire was just overjoyed at finally getting to go to Magus Grex School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had been waiting for quite some time, ever since his parents told him about it, really. He found Chopstick in one of the exotic wizarding animal stores, and took an immediate bond to the small creature. The bird is beyond loyal, and usually chirps and hoots for the boy in the morning. The prospect was that he'd get to go to a new place, take thousands of new pictures with the great views and new landscapes, meet new friends, and become a better wizard all at the same.
But boy was he wrong.
His first two years were a nightmare socially, and he was always being teased and called names because of his camera. But he did his absolute best not to let it get to him, and succeeded mostly. He discovered he sucks at potions, can't even sit on a broomstick properly, and there was hardly any free time to go out and enjoy the air. But he was rescued during his third year, finally getting the hang of everything and then getting to finally indulge in his passion.
However, in his beginning years he did meet at least a few friends. Though, one of the most remarkable would be Myra Magaly. They had similar stories that were for completely different reasons, but they both ended up being picked on the first two years. So they encouraged each other and assisted each other in different studies. Myra was probably among one of two friends he had in his start out years in Magus Grex.
He's also got close relations to Lyle Brightham ever since his second year, and enjoys teaming up with him. This way he can use his camera for something productive in other people's lives.
