Personality
Kieran likes good jookes, and really likes to laugh. He has a couple strengths, one big one being his will. He has an iron will. But, as all good character, Kieran does have a weakness. Women. He always gets a bit on the goofy sight when a woman he has the "hots" for comes around. That got him into social trouble many the time at school. Another thing. Kieran is very cat like. He has good eyesight, good hearing, the ability to move silently while moving at high speeds. Some people would think he's a cat turned human. That's why he loves cats so much. He has a special affinity with them. Kieran's not easy to anger. The only thing that really makes him angry is the mistreatment of an animal.

History
Kieran was born into a very wealthy family. He never had money problems. He always had the best of stuff. Kieran was the third born child of Daniel and Monica Darcie. He had 2 siblings, a brother named Daniel Darcie Jr., 2 years older than him, and a sister named Danielle Darcie, 4 years older than him. He was very close to his sister. Unfortunately, she was killed by Death Eaters at the age of 24. Kieran was in grief when he got the news, even more so than the rest of his family. He moved to America shortly afterwards and worked at a bar for the next 10 years, slowly working his way up to manager. Then, right before he got the job of manager, he quit to go work at Augery as staff. That's where he is now, as a DADA Teacher. (Don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here) The best times Kieran ever had were at Hogwarts. He loved going to school there, especially his first three years when his sister was also there.

Items: Kieran's wand is strange compared to most others. His wand's core is made from cat hair. The wand is made from birchwood and is 13 inches. It is very sturdy.

Animal Guardian: Kieran has 2 cats, Tiger, and Scat They were born of the same litter, making them brother and sister. Tiger is hostile to everyone, even Kieran at times. He hates being played with, but he'll tolerate it from Kieran. Scat is the exact opposite. She loves attention, and playing games. She absolutely loves Kieran, always rubbing up against his leg or jumping on his desk while he's working.

Writing Sample
Kieran clumsily stumbled out of the Great Hall, once again having made a fool of himself in front of everyone. Almost to the point of tears, he slowly trudged back to the Griffindor Common Room, where he sat down in a big fluffy armchair near the fire. A few minutes later, someone else came in and sat across from him. His head was in his hands, but he didn't need to look up to see who it was.
"Hello, Danielle," he muttered glumly.
"What happened this time?" she questioned him.
"Oh, nothing, just embarrased myself for the upteenth time in 3 years," he replied.
"How?"
"Does it matter?"
After that, they sat there in silence for a while.
Danielle broke the silence with her soothing voice, "Don't worry. You'll grow out of it sometime. Let's just hope that sometime is before you're fifty."
Kieran looked up and grinned at her, while she winked back.
"Let's go back downstairs and get something to eat. I'm starved."
He grinned again. "Okay, let's." She got up and hugged him, then walked down to the Great Hall with him.
