Micah St. Clair

Name: Micah Vincent St. Clair
House & Year: Azurcrest Junior
Hometown: Revelstoke, Nevada. A wizarding town in the middle of the Great Basin Desert, with a population of less than 1000 and only achieving electricity/Internet access within the last 10 years. Micah is descended from one of the founders of the town, and is the last St. Clair of his generation, which is why he was given his family's heirloom wand.

School History: Started Gooseberry as a freshman. Was previously at Ilvermorny, as a Horned Serpent.
Class Involvement: Micah is an enthusiastic student who has a tendency to get distracted and talk to friends in class. Loves debates and classroom discussions. Definite annoying class clown tendencies, i.e. cracking jokes when called on, but he's just as likely to offer right answers or thoughtful opinions when you catch him in the right mindset. He'll happily pair up with anyone who's sitting closest to him, but is partial to the other Azurcrests in his year.
Campus Presence: Can be found wherever the people are; any gathering of junior classmates is guaranteed to attract Micah's attention. But he does occasionally seek out private time for his film projects, and in those times will be found either in his cabin, the Artificing shed, or the new computer lab.
Party Time: Micah's making it his goal for junior year to be the Grotto party organizer, so you'll find him at every party this year, fronting the bill for beer. (Although he doesn't have Morales money so... help a guy out, please.) Micah's dabbling in drinking and smoking, but for personal reasons, he doesn't much enjoy either; but he'll pretend to nurse a drink rather than appear to be a teetotaler.

Best Friends: Micah throws around the words "best friend" so much, it's almost meaningless. Ree and Cole are old friends, which makes them simultaneously close to Micah's heart because of history, and distant because Micah would like to pretend his past doesn't exist, thanks! He is particularly close to his chickabros (Jeffy, Lucas and Zach), and Hazel and Calvin (the two people around whom Micah's willing to pretend he has human emotions).
Cliques: Azurjuniors are his clique, but he also has a special fondness for the Coppertale girls. And Coppertale boys, honestly. Micah's type is people who are kind of mean to him, like Jade, Ari, Cash and Ramon.
Out-of-School Social Circles: Micah doesn't have any friends outside of school. There aren't a lot of kids his own age in Revelstoke, and he's the only one of them who went to Gooseberry, so he's grown apart from them.
The Not Friends: There are a few people he doesn't much like, but Micah pretends to be everyone's friend. It's easier.

Sexuality: Micah will hit on anything with a pulse. He adamantly claims "no labels," but he's been flirting with all genders since the beginning of freshman year. He slightly prefers boys to girls, although his type is usually "cuter" boys rather than more buff-looking guys.
Dating History: Starting in freshman year, he developed a massive stalker crush on Calvin Evercreech, and Calvin shot him down once and for all during winter break of sophomore year. Micah is "smooch buddies" with Hazel Keating, which is to say they flirt a lot publicly, make out in hallways, and confuse people into thinking they're dating. He started dating Spencer Sweet during the summer before junior year, his first "serious" relationship.
Current Relationship Status: Dating but very soon to be single. (He and Spencer are going to break up before the first Grotto party. It will definitely be Micah's fault.)
The Messy Bits: Micah's crushes tend to be very, very public because he can't stop himself from running his mouth about whom he has a crush on. People could easily know about the awkward particulars of his relationships with Calvin, Hazel, and Spencer. They'd also know that Micah repeatedly claimed a "HUGE crush" on Cash Holcomb last year, in addition to like... half the sophomores.

Common Knowledge:
  • He's a movie buff who wants to be a famous director when he grows up. He carries at least one camera around everywhere (either a Leica M6 or a Sony camcorder).

  • He has a motorcycle and drove it across state lines this summer. It's only thanks to magic that he didn't get himself killed or sunk in a muddy ditch.

  • He owned a vintage Ouija board and talked his classmates into following him to the Grotto to communicate with ghosts. They were too successful. Micah's Ouija board was lost the last time they had a seance and ran away from a terrifying ghost. (This is probably only common knowledge among sophjuniors.)

Personal Stuff:
  • His older brother died in a motorcycle accident when Micah was 13. He spent several months shutting everyone out, before suddenly undergoing a total personality shift when he started at Gooseberry. (This is currently only known by people who attended Ilvermorny with Micah.)

  • In some ways, Micah isn't shockingly different from he was before he lost his brother, he's just... more. More talkative, more flamboyant, more fearless and reckless. He hit his teens at the same time, so who knows, maybe he was always destined to become this weird? But Micah still has the irrational fear that his personality is artificial.

  • A creepy doppelganger stole his face and verbally tore into people before running away??? It's probably still out there????? I actually don't know if Micah's told anyone about this, aside from the people who were there, and the MACUSA agents. He's still unsettled by this but he doesn't want to admit it.

The Secrets:
  • He... kind of has a death wish? idk i kind of put a bunch of his "secrets" in the section above

  • He's not actually a masochist, but getting into why Micah makes jokes along these lines and responds well to people who are "mean" is getting way too deep into Micah's self-image issues.
