HAIR&EYES Who would have known his grandmother would have caused so many hair problems by just changing her own so often? Her constant fiddling had made her daughter Lindsey Moon's hair magical and that has passed down to each of her children in different ways. Dare has found his purple hair to be quite a draw, sometimes more then the rest of his siblings, though he seems to be the only one with the same water-proofing effect of his mothers (with the same tubular quality that is) which keeps him out of the sun cause it heats up too much. His eyes do not follow the family lines however, being a nice medium blue and very much like the ocean depths in some ways. The combination both works and raises eyebrows.
HEIGHT&WEIGHT It's too soon to see yet what his height will top off at, but unlike his older siblings so far, he has a longer look to him clearly taking after his father in height being already 5'10" and 150 pounds. This makes him tall for a fifteen year old so he probably will get his father's height genes. Look out growth spurts!

BOGGART Big attacking dogs! Foaming at the mouth! Gah! Dog slobber! ICK!
MIRROR OF ERISED To have two identities, one famous which supports the other's private and secluded life
PATRONUS Barba amarilla (a type of pit viper found in Central America) because he loves poisons, is very solitary in his family, and he prefers to flee rather then face up to an aggressive person.
PERSONALITY Some people would say that personality does not matter much in the early years, but more in the formative years of the middle-teen years (14, 15,16), but Darius has already proven one to keep an eye on before he got that far. He isn't quiet or a big reader (though given something which fits his interests, he will read speedy fast; it's not that he can't he just doesn't do it much) and while he prefers time alone, it's mostly to write and plan out poison concepts & read on how the body works. However much he is creepy (especially as he stares at people thinking about how their bodies are connected together) Dare feels safe with family, protected, and loved; thus he will never do harm to any of them as they full-fill a very basic need for him.

By age ten, unfortunately, he had already poisoned the muggle island inhabitant's dogs three times. Having been cornered by one once aggressively when he was still a toddler, he has a very deep-rooted fear of any dog except the smallest and even those make him sweat and pull away from. He will never be a fighter and shrinks from confrontation, preferring to get back at people when they are asleep when no confrontation is possible. Preferably after they have also been doused with a sedative of some kind so he can take his time. A precocious child for his age, he also has a genius (inherited from his father's great-grandfather) level intellect and with the family's collection of dark magic tomes accessible to him (in the lighter subject ones which are unwarded yet) have given his mind plenty to work on.

People who meet him outside of family find him uber creepy with the way he looks at them and other children feel the natural instinct of danger when he's around, even if only watching them. Recently he has become interested in how the body heals itself (cause to take it apart best really requires a lot of knowledge on how it works to begin with) and his questions about healers have led Lindsey to taking him to healers when she is out to get his questions answered. Several Healers at St Mungo's have taken a liking to him as a precocious child and made note that he might be one to have in for training after school (as well as a note to the Healer at Hogwarts about his possible study). Adults don't read the warning signs with him as easily being no longer in touch with most of their instincts they had as children. Where this all will lead is up to anyone's guess; his formative years are already in full swing...

NOTE Dare has inherited his mother's hair, but also her sensitivity to the other world, though more divination then in ghosts. His particular talent will lie in Hieromancy which he can just barely read at this time, but which draws his interest towards taking things like toys apart, "sacrificing them," with the intention of learning from "their" parts.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

HISTORY
How much history can a child have developed? Far more then one would think in this case. Darius was born as all the children of Lindsey and Osiris Silver-Moon at home with a midwife. As the parents (and siblings who enjoyed babies by now as well) spent time playing with him and loving up on him, he became early on attached to their faces, seeing them as a part of him, a necessary part of his life. Others who came only occasionally or only once were clearly not part of his life and he was not shy around strangers, but interrogating in a way (which since he was a vocal toddler was cute and they didn't mind). However the muggle's dogs changed all of that in a heartbeat. When the dog broke past the sheep and cornered the boy against the wall and approached both snarling and slobbering, he screamed up bloody murder and Lindsey easily saved him. So panicked he was though that the entire family drew together, trying to comfort and reassure him he was safe indeed.

He determined those outside the family were dangerous and expendable. In fact, he began to think it would be better if the worst ones were eliminated entirely. That was when he began bugging his mom about poisons and how they worked and she began talking him through some books about them (no recipes of course) until he showed some real memory for what she told him. With that she loaned him a small book of poetry written by a many-times great grandmother who was known to be a poisoner and taught him to read using it till he was working out the words on his own. It took him nearly six months before he found the page with the decoder code on it, only visible to those of the same blood. Over the next three years he slowly began to write down the code solutions from each page, learning to read them faster and faster, uncovering a poisons recipe book of massive scale. By the time he was twelve he had figured out, quoted, and memorized four multi-stage poisons as commonly found ingredients.

Being one of the younger kids, he was also able to get a lot of what he wanted from the adults (growing up with ghosts has convinced him death is not necessarily a bad thing and thus not as wrong as some people seem to think) and has gotten cooking lessons and candle making guidance from a few house ghosts and servants. The trust that his family has in him is solid and he loves them; otherwise the child helping to make dinner every night who is fascinated with poisons could be a quite frightening concept. Dare clearly does not get along well with people outside his family which Lindsey does not know how to fix as the rest of her kids have been very open personalities. Thus he frequently finds himself under his daddies attention when he is home. As she traveled, she often brought him along with her, feeling exposure to the outside world would help him open up and experience more.

Now at Hogwarts, Darius is a fairly quiet boy, feeling a bit intimidated by all the faces, far too many to get rid of plainly. Because he has to get by with them therefore he has picked up some social things, but he's not a conversationalist and the weird vibe he puts off as most kids avoiding his vicinity. He has asked enough healer questions in the Hospital Wing of the nurse to gain some attention and she has noticed his healing salves and potions learned in class to be extremely potent & well made (she has let him watch a few simple healing techniques, but hasn't let him do any under her eyes as of yet). With a large family before him and more to come still on the way, he is part of something really big and thus he has stability. When he feels bold, he goes to the kitchens and learns cooking from the House Elves*, adding recipes to his repertoire as well as learning how a restaurant kitchen or cafeteria might operate. Carefully monitored, one will usually distract him with teaching, sometimes letting him help them with feasts which he is very proud of deep inside.

*Oddly, he seems to have no fear of gentle creatures or like the house elves, those who are eager to serve and help so taking instruction from them seems to be no issue.

RP EXPERIENCE? More then you've been alive
RP SAMPLE.

As they walked along the street, Darius' hand in his mothers, he saw a woman carrying a baby in this very colorful sack on her back. Peru was a vastly different place then what he had experienced before and despite the house elf trotting along happily behind them (and staying invisible to the muggles), his curiosity was not slowed down. "Mom? Where do babies come from?" With years of child raising experience Lindsey answered without hesitation having already gotten these questions four times before him. "The stork brought you, little booger." His frown increased, sensing she was in a teasing mood; bad timing. "All the way to the island?" She shook her head, eyeing a tourist walking in bikini and hiking boots and rolled her eyes before turning her attention to her son's question.

"Nah, he put you under a cabbage leaf under the mainland and dropped us a map. Your big old butt kept slipping out of the diaper..." Knowing when she got this way he'd make no progress, Darius let the subject drop for the time being and kept following her lead to the hotel she had chosen for the night. She'd taken all the kids with her one at a time on these ghost tracking expeditions, but this was his third mostly because she was trying to get him to open up more to strangers. Turning into the old hotel (the only one in this backwoods town tucked pretty far into the mountains) and said "Look around the lobby, booger, while I get us signed in," nodding at the house elf to keep up with him with a wink.

Brightly colored blankets hung on the walls and floors over mud covered adobe walls. Dark woods, a roaring fire, and bad lighting made the place feel inviting to him. Why hang blankets on the walls? If your feet were cold, then the floors made sense though he looked around and saw all the adults had shoes on. The two men in the corner watching him intently explore unsupervised apparently didn't bother him either though after a moment their staring got on his nerves. Walking over he said "Stop staring at me. Now," with his high pitched voice which didn't show menace very well. "Well hello there, on your own is it? Want a treat?" About then Lindsey came over, iron key in hand. "Now now, Darius, that's not how we treat new people, is it?" Looking ashamed he had forgotten, he reached into his jacket and pulled out the camera slung around his neck and took the picture of alarmed faces before they could move.

"Much better. Come along now," and taking his hand she led him off "Yes, mum," while the two men quickly left the hotel, disturbed from their business and not wanting to be seen together. Something about the situation had bothered them, otherwise they would have tried to take the camera, but the woman's eyes had seemed as if she was eager for them to try it and not what they were used to from solitary, short women. Upstairs in the room, she left the house elf to unpack their bag while she supervised his changing into pjs. As brushed his teeth under Elba's watchful eye, he wondered why the men had been so worried about a picture. They couldn't hurt you now could they? Puzzling over this as he crawled into bed, he laid down in Lindsey's arms, head pillowed on her arm as she stroked his hair and laid out her notes for the evening's hunt. For a bedtime story she read him the story about the conquistador lost in the mountains defending himself from wild animals. As she did so, he could imagine his mother fending off wild animals with a wand; she would never let him get torn apart, even though it sounded like quite a fascinating fight with death.

His last thought (with the impression of a kiss on his forehead he sleepily did not fully register) before he fell asleep was wondering if that was the ghost she was searching for tonight and if she found him would there also be ghost wolves after him...
