PERSONALITY
Personable | Debonair | Dramatic | Empathetic | Entertaining
Impressionable | Pedantic | Shallow | Narcissistic | Unfaithful
Nathanael is an exceedingly observant and curious individual with just the right amount of intelligence shining through to meddle with everyone and everything welcomingly. He carries himself with a confident dignity and courteous cavalier manners. Open to the thoughts and impressions of others, this talkative individual dwells in social surroundings. He is a perceptive listener and most often judges a situation precisely, as long as he had not been influenced by gossip of any kind.
Nathanael has set high standards for his looks and will lose respect for people who don't appear to do the same. His attitude is most noticable by his immediate aversion towards piercings, tattoos, inappropriate makeup or any other unnatural body modification.

His pleasant character will slowly be replaced by a more superficial and passive aggressive behaviour the further and longer a casual conversation deviates from his own person. Adding to that, Nathan doesn’t like talking about subjects having a deeper meaning or requiring refined thinking. This boy adores to have his ego stroked and often acts intolerant to criticism. The need for attention and a deeply rooted distrust towards the concept of lasting relationships, due to his family’s past, make him easy to stray from a casual flirt. Most relationships never go further than casual dating before he loses interest and drops a lover without warning - or even worse, betraying them behind their back if his attention had been won over by another person.
Nathanael is a micromanager when it comes to the organisation of projects. Even though his sharp-sightedness helps him to grasp situations quickly, he often starts at the details and loses grasp of the whole. This can become a hindrance if colleagues don't act cooperative and decide to ignore his insightful remarks about the most trivial necessities.

A further fault of his becomes apparent when observing his stance towards education. As a child born between two worlds, Nathanael has not yet decided which one will become his future. Thus he finds himself often focusing most of his attention on catching up with friends and celebrity gossip of two worlds; the wizards and the no-majs. Additionally, an irrational fear of missing out while being a completionist have led him to continuously sign up for more courses than he could pridefully handle. By now, Nathan has adapted the practice of studying for a test score, not for the value of knowledge itself. Thus being quickly able to pick up new things, while just as quickly forgetting about them again. All of it led to the student being consistently mediocre in his courses even though his ingenious mind should have been able to rank him on top of most classes.

HISTORY
For all of Nathan’s childhood, his father rarely got involved with the wizarding world, even though magic was no secret to his children. When his no-maj mother left for America, it was decided that both children would remain with their father as he was the only magically-enabled to handle them properly. The absence of his mother left a deep scar on the boy’s heart. Nevertheless, inspired by his parent’s shared interest and his mother’s career, Nathan asked to go to dancing schools and singing practices, declaring he “would catch up with his mother soon enough”. His father happily obliged and the boy’s dream of a career as a famous actor began.
When the remaining family moved to America, his father finally implemented more magic in his craft and thus enabled his children to experience both worlds. Nathan was amazed at the attention he received as a foreign child in school and quickly utilized it to rise in popularity while upkeeping a childish certainty that he would not lose contact to his European friends.

1 | Upon enrolling in Ilvermorny, Nathan experienced his first culture shock. Initially joining the chess club, he soon dropped it when he heard senior students talk about the nerdy reputation that came with a membership. No unfavorable reputation could keep him from the choir however, as his mother had repetitively reprimanded him to never neglect his voice training if he was serious about catching up to her.
2 | Nathan considered to join the Quodpot team in his second year, but didn’t make it in. Consequently, he dropped his Broom Flight class as soon as the third year started.
3 | In his third year the boy signed up for too many classes due to feeling he’d miss out otherwise, and had to drop Basic Healing regrettably. He also started styling his hair and joined the no-maj music club after finally overcoming the breaking of his voice.
4 | By this time, Nathan had figured out how to treat most teachers in order to receive maximal affection in return. The first semester was spent peacefully with an academic schedule that was as busy as ever. However, his winter break left him stunned. A divination reading predicted an unfortunate turn in his planned career. Should he truly pursue his dream as an actor, he would greatly succeed and become a world-wide phenomenon. However, before he turned 30, Nathan would then experience a life changing downfall. With the seer being unable to share more details about the dreaded downfall - if it would involve death for example - Nathan is now dealing with the question if his lifelong dream is worth the sacrifice of his future, or if he should look for another interest. Thus Nathan secretly grows more attentive to other possible career choices, while resenting fate for forcing him to consider something thoroughly for once.

FAMILY
[Sister] Clarissa “Claire” von Schwarzenstein
Swiss (American Permanent Resident), 14, student, Half-Blood.
Nathan’s sister and most trusted one. He and Claire share a love for people, attention and the colourful film industry. She is attending Ilvermorny as well.
[Father] Robert von Schwarzenstein
Swiss (American Permanent Resident), 39, gold smith, Half-Blood.
Robert was the main reason that his children discovered their love for the entertainment industry. As a firm lover of jazz music, poetry and theatres, it was only due to his no-maj father’s legacy that he became a gold smith who took over his father’s business. After arriving in America, he enhanced his business, by utilizing more magic and offering consultation about special magical accessory for the wizardkind. He plans to return to Switzerland after his children are ready to live on their own due to missing the calm mountain landscapes and having to care for his aging parents soon.
[Mother] Anna Caspari
American (formerly Italian), 36, actress, No-Maj.
More of a beloved, kind aunt than a mother to Nathan. Anna is a firm lover of modern musical culture, jazz and theatres as well as movie production. She was born in Italy, spent her youth and first love in Switzerland, before finally moving to America. Anna has long received her American citizenship and does not plan to return to neither Switzerland nor Italy. By now, she fully adapted the American accent and perfectly blended into the celebrity society. She occasionally visits the Schwarzenstein home. Due to occupying the same bedroom as Robert whenever she visited, her children still believe in the couple’s love.

The Parent’s Story (not substantial to understand Nathan’s background) |
Robert and Anna met in a mediocre theater in Zurich in their young adulthood. As an unsuccessful actress, a girl with shattered dreams, Anna found new hope in the arms of a charming young man while Robert was enamored by her unconventional, free smile and the saddening depth of character behind her delicate form.
Even though Anna’s parents did not approve of it, the young pair soon decided to start their lives anew together. A marriage was postponed due to honoring the Italian family, but their small family soon grew bigger in number. Nathan was born 2 years after the pair had met.

When Nathan was four, their lives took a surprising turn. Anna’s mother had continuously held onto the abandoned dream of her daughter and had sent further casting role applications in her name. Eventually, her efforts bore fruits and Anna received an invitation to an important audition in LA, America. Robert encouraged his love to go and by doing so she received the role.
After the first happiness faded and the first months passed, loneliness silently snuck into their lives and the couple slowly grew apart. As Anna’s stay in America was continuously extended due to growing interest in her person, Robert ultimately decided to follow her.
However, the dream of a perfect family was quickly lost in a bittersweet reunion, when both parents had to admit that they had grown further apart than expected. Nevertheless, Robert opened a new (magical) shop in LA, enabling his children to see their mother as often as they could. Anna supports their children’s growth whenever she is in town.
As of now, the two's differing ideas for their future still trouble the former couple. They practice an open relationship - not restricting the other to find another partner, yet supporting their children together as best as they can.

PET

Name | Signora
This cat formerly belonged to another student, who has long graduated. It is a mystery for how long she has lived in Ilvermorny. One day she appeared on Nathan’s bed and claimed him as her owner.
Species | Cat (Main-Coon)
Gender | Female
Personality | Signora carries herself like a lady and acts accordingly: she’s very prestigious, elegant and graceful. She is never in a hurry to eat either. She sits and waits and watches everything from the sidelines because she knows that her food will be delivered separately and probably hand-fed to her. No one is to disturb her beauty sleep, especially when she basks in the sun. However, she does enjoy the feeling of a human resting next to her. Nathan uses her as a pillow most often, while Signora doesn’t have to be bothered with flimsy toys being thrown at her.
