xxxxx⇾Shy
Declan was always told a child should be seen but not heard, by his school, church, and parents which he internalized that into a shy nature. He has trouble opening up even around his peers, which only contributes to his shyness as he's sometimes viewed as weird for his quiet nature.
xxxxx⇾Studious
Schoolwork was an outlet for him to funnel his stresses and frustrations. That made him naturally better at his work than his peers around him. He took a liking to reading at an early age because it also provided him an escape from the natural world around him, though his reading subjects were limited to those approved by his parents.
xxxxx⇾Open-Minded
Unlike most from his normal life, Declan is very open and understanding of others and their ways of life. While his parents are quick to condemn anything that isn't approved by the church, he was different and understood, but more than that, accepted the lifestyles of those around him.
xxxxx⇾Loyal
It takes much to get through the thick exterior of awkwardness and quiet, but once someone makes their way in, Declan is fiercely loyal to those around him. He will go out of his way to assist a friend in need, even if it costs him physically.
xxxxx⇾Artistic
At a young age, he discovered his gift for prose, writing poetry for his early childhood writing class. He excelled more than others when writing and attempted other forms of art including sketching and charcoal art. But none let him express himself like poetry allowed.
xxxxx⇾Adventurous
Exploring, learning new things, searching through ruins, Declan enjoys it all. His parents took him to a hiking trail in the south of Ireland once and while hiking, Declan found an old ruin overgrown with vines that he explored. He loves exploring old buildings, libraries, and basically anywhere he can get lost in fantasy.

xxxDeclan was born to Brian and Maeve McNamara in the city of Limerick, Ireland. Declan is their only child, who was brought to them by God after many years of prayer, according the his mother. His mother, Maeve, works as a clinical assistant at St. John's Hospital in Limerick and his father is employed as professor of English Lit at Thomond Community College. He was baptized at St Lelia's Church and given the name Benedict. At an early age, Declan showed an interest in girls' toys over boys' toys, something that his parents did not approve of and he was sequestered away from his cousins' toys to prevent anything from tarnishing their perfect boy. Growing up as a single child was difficult for him because he was the sole focus of his parents and they insisted on him being the perfect child. Before he was even enrolled in primary school, his parents had insisted on getting him a tutor and making sure he was "set up for success". His parents tried to get him to play piano and violin to broaden his horizons, but he showed little to no skill with either.
xxxUpon being enrolled in Corpus Christi Catholic School, it became apparent that Declan was not like the other children in school. It had been impressed on him at a very young age that he shouldn't speak unless spoken to, which made him very awkward around other children. This led to him being bullied in school a lot. He focused himself in his school work and quickly excelled, impressing his teachers who saw the brilliant student through the awkward nature. He also discovered his love for poetry during his time at school. Despite his teachers focusing on his academics, they ignored the bullying because children will be children.
xxxDeclan's first taste of the wizarding world came on his eleventh birthday when a surprise visitor arrived at his eleventh birthday party, the Hogwarts Governess Nora Heulwen. She brought with her Declan's Hogwarts acceptance letter and clued the McNamaras about the wizarding world. Declan's grandfather revealed that he was from a wizard family but had been born without magic and had chosen to live in the Muggle world. Nora took Declan to Diagon Alley to purchase his school supplies and get his wand. The entire experience was amazing for Declan and he was suddenly very optimistic about his future.

xxxThe day he was to leave for Hogwarts, Mrs Nora came to bring him to the train station so he could begin his journey to Hogwarts. But first, he was introduced to another first year boy from another Muggle house, Sebastian Moon. They would be classmates and travel to school together. Sebastian, better know as Seb, immediately befriended Declan and they quickly became friends. At school, Declan and Seb joined a bunch of clubs like the Herbology Club and the Cooking Club, both things Declan was heavily interested in but discouraged from at home. He enjoyed almost all of his classes except for Defense Against the Dark Arts, which kind of scared him. He also made friends with many other students in his year and several older students as well.
xxxAt the start of second year, Declan made friends with the new first years from his house, starting to come out of his shell more. He spent most of his free time hanging out with his best friend. During second year, Declan discovered that he liked his hair long and resisted his parents' attempt to have it cut during his winter break. He began to question his gender identity even more than the previous year. Declan also embraced a more relaxed clothing style, shedding more of the restrained church appearance.
