Isko Carmelan

Backstory

Isko Carmelan, a child of the mountains from a remote village in the Philippines, received their acceptance letter to Hogwarts at the tender age of 12. Before their magical education began, Isko spent their days in the lush rice fields, where they developed a deep connection with nature—capturing spiders and guiding stray ducklings, sometimes accompanied by curious friends from the village.

Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Isko quickly found their niche in several key areas of the school. You'd often find them lending a hand in the boathouse, where their affinity for creatures and plants extended to caring for the lake's magical inhabitants. Their keen mind and love for learning drew them to the Library, Charms, Potions, and Herbology classrooms, where they eagerly absorbed knowledge and honed their magical skills.

Despite their generosity and willingness to help others, Isko often found themselves wandering alone, driven by a curiosity to explore every nook and cranny of Hogwarts. They sought guidance from older peers, not just for academic challenges but also to understand the intricacies of the magical world.

Isko's character is defined by an overwhelming sense of gratitude, instilled in them by their upbringing. They always made it a point to repay kindness shown to them, whether through acts of service or simply offering their company. A quiet student, Isko could usually be found with a sketchbook filled with intricate drawings of magical creatures or lost in a book.
