ICONS
TRISTAN RIVERS
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens,
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins,
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me,
I know you well enough to know...

Why can't I feel anything,
for anyone other than you?
personality
Taff is a typical 17 year old boy. His mind is often clouded by hormones, and he's desperate to appear cool, rather than nerdy. But there's definitely more to him than that.
Taff's grown up with his brother leading the way and taking care of him, and he would love nothing more than to be independent, not because he hates Tristan's care, but because he wants to be able to give the same back and to stop being what he feels is a burden. He has a drive to prove himself, if only to make Tristan proud.

His last year at Hogwarts made him rather more introverted, after he was hand-picked by the Carrows as one of the Purebloods who excelled at the Cruciatus curse. He was forced to torture younger students as well as classmates, something he regrets every day.

Spending time in so many foster homes and orphanages has made it difficult for Taff to trust people, and there’s no one he’ll put more faith in than his brother. Taff would follow Tristan to the ends of the Earth for no more than Tristan asking him, but Taff is no pushover. He won’t follow blindly, and is more than willing to voice his opinion. But in the end, Tristan will win and Taff is ok with that, because his brother is all he has in the world.

Taff is afraid of ending up like his parents, namely dead. He doesn’t want to follow the same path as them and join the remaining dregs of the Death Eaters, though most recently he wasn’t given much of a choice when they took over the school. His largest fear, however, is losing his brother. Tristan is everything he knows.
He’s also afraid of tight spaces and suffers from horrible claustrophobia that leads to panic attacks. He can just about have the curtains around his bed closed, though even that makes him nervous.

history
Taff was two years old when his parents were killed. He really doesn’t remember much of that night, only fire and green light and hiding. He does remember Tristan though. Tristan held his hand and calmed him down. Tristan kept him safe. It was no secret that their parents, the Rivers, had been Death Eaters and in the end they were killed, like many Death Eaters by Aurors.

From the moment they were found Tristan and Constantine were shoved into orphanages and foster homes. Though they were purebloods, none of their distant relatives seemed too keen on taking the two boys in. Those were dangerous times and associating yourself with known Death Eaters was a foolish thing to do so the boys spent their childhood being shoved from home to home.

Constantine was split from Tristan only once, but it was the worst moment of his life and he ran away from his foster-home to seek out his older brother. The only steady thing he had was Tristan and, even though they argued as brothers do, Constantine wouldn’t want to spend his life without him. Tristan protected him, Tristan guided him, Tristan told him about life. Constantine trusts him unconditionally.

At one point, the two of them were homed with a pleasant Muggle-born welsh couple. Their foster mother joked with the two of them, telling them there were two rivers in Wales known as ‘Big Taff’ and ‘Little Taff’. She began calling the two brothers after the rivers respectively and even after the two boys had to leave (her husband met an unfortunate end involving an exploding bird-bath and she couldn’t care for the two of them anymore) the name seemed to stick to Constantine, who was happy to have it because his own name often met remarks of its unusualness that he’d gradually grown tired of.

When Tristan received his letter to go to Hogwarts, two years before Taff would, he felt like his life was falling apart. No longer fostered, Taff would have to spend two years without his brother in the Beedleby Orphanage. He begged Tristan not to go, but knew he was being selfish. Hogwarts would be an escape for his brother from the life they both hated and so, reluctantly, Taff insisted Tristan go. He wrote to his brother every day and sat alone without him, watching the other children with such intensity that he began to scare them.

When Tristan finally returned to him for the holidays, Taff felt whole again and refused to leave his side, insisting they eat, sleep and played together. He was jealous of the friends Tristan talked about but never said anything. He clung to his brother for those few days they would share together, savouring his warmth and love and the intimacy they shared. Constantine loves his brother more than anything.

Taff spent his last year in Hogwarts keeping his head down to avoid getting picked on by the Carrows, though mainly as a Pureblood he was picked out to learn the Dark Arts and to torture his classmates. He showed quite a lot of promise in wielding Dark Magic and was able to hold a Crucio longer than a lot of his classmates, though he never wanted to. When the Battle of Hogwarts began, Taff fled to safety with the rest of the Slytherins to find his Brother who had graduated the year before and didn’t return to fight.
