BIGGEST FEAR: His family dead
PERSONALITY:
Protective - While he adores his family and feels them very much in his heart, he will defend anyone he sees being treated unfairly (though this should not be mistaken for being chivalrous) and quickly in the bets way possible. He used to lose his temper when younger, but he's learned to use it now instead.
Figuring things Out - Aiden is extremely good with all kinds of puzzles from scrambled words on a paper to interior architectural mazes he has a talent for finding the keys to figuring out the answers and threading the safest ways. He rarely feels lost or confused in Hogwarts despite the moving stairs.
Brave - Knowing his parents have faced tougher odds then he has, he is determined to follow in his father's footsteps in confronting the evils which lead to dark wizards in power and wars. This means he has already developed in his mind the desire to be the resistance.
Contained Emotions - Not very emotionally 'on-the-surface,' Aiden has most of his deep inside so he comes across as very reserved. Only those who have known him awhile such as his family ( and a very few yearmates like @rosie ) have seen his anger and frustrations much. And when they are seen they often have consequences.

*Both of these are nearly native languages having been taught since birth in a multicultural family. The others have been learned since and while not native, are fairly fluent but with a French accent to most (an English accent to the German out of fear of trouble)
HISTORY:
Born in England during one of his mother's troop's performances, Aiden came into the world the first child of his parents, his older brother being from another mother. Raised with a mix of delight and inexperience, his French speaking parents avoided England mostly and stayed in France whenever possible clearly in the years of fresh love. As he grew he never knew them to ever be out of it, though his father's serious scowls could be lifted in a moment by one of her kisses. His brother he looked up to from the start, Max bursting with pride when he was the one to cause the first steps of his younger sibling. The little family wandered with a dance troupe during the largest part of the year, staying in France in the Winters.
Despite their wandering, the family train car always felt like home so he never felt like he had needed roots; he learned that the roots were his family more then to a place, including the family's two house elves in their small circle. He saw many places and cultures, choosing from what he saw along the way like an over filled banquet table. With the addition of his little sister, his mother took over the dance company and the attention his father spent on all three of them was similar to a one room schoolhouse sometimes, the siblings learning to take care to watch out for each other. Learning dance and gymnastics from his parents, Aiden began to specialize at a young age, wanting to learn fencing when he was only six. Eventually his parents got them an odd apartment and he began to cherish winter time and the calm center of family around him even after holiday times.
During some holidays during they year they also dropped in on their near-relatives, first cousins who had stayed in England and Aiden got to know his other relatives in snatches over the years. Later when he went to Hogwarts, his father would drop him off with them for a few weeks before hand so they could bond before school. Later on his sister would join him when she came of age, but he grew to enjoy his English cousins and look up to Alex as much as to Max. During Christmas break he still went back to Paris, but those few weeks of summer vacation at the end and beginning of each school year showed him a new world where people lived without so much travel.
Unknown to any of the children was the careful balance between their parents, his mother Arabelle quite effectively softening the very grim edge of his father who made wooden toys for his children partly as a therapy for his own inner tussles. Without knowing it, the three children (Max the most with his father's looks) dampened down a lot of the negatives in his eyes and caused him to work harder for them as well. Only when reaching the higher levels at Hogwarts did Max begin to catch on to the secrets happening around his family of silence. They did their best to keep the past of the war away from their children's lives and the rough times they had lived through. It only increased his love of his parents more for the gift they had tried to give their kids; stability of their own way.
Having house elves around their small and poor-seeming home and muggles around nearly all the time, he grew up on the concept everyone was equal, but could fool themselves with thinking the wrong way so issues of blood and social class had and remain meaningless to him now. As he got older, his parents sent him to a local Paris boy's school his older brother also attended for awhile. Used to travel, steeped in French food and language, and with a smattering of concepts from many cultures, Aiden found the first days at Hogwarts to really feel like a foreign country (though because of his crazy home he found the pattern of rooms easy to remember due to his puzzle habits) except for this: here was his brother ahead of him, but still there! He read terrible stories about the Deatheaters and the things they did to others and those who turned against their families to do the right thing. He came to appreciate that no matter how one is raised, it was the choices one makes which determines who they will become and precocious, he began to map out who he wanted to be.
With determination.
When his brother sought dance for a career and his mother's eyes shined with the happy tears at his decision, he noted that his father was just as proud, even as he begged his son not to get used to tights. It confirmed for him whatever his choices his parents would always be proud of him and love him. Now in his fifth year, Aiden returns to Hogwarts with a mix of concepts still being turned into formation in his brain. A child of barely making it parents (though the money they had was in the places they lived, not in possessions so much; an important lesson), Aiden practices a warriors way as an art, finding a grace in fencing and Mah jong that is beautiful and harmonious to his mind. Only time will tell where he takes it in the future, but he looks to be developing a lot in these next few critical years...
