HISTORY:

Tan's mother was an exchange student to Hogwarts, her parents seeking a better education for her and hoping she could learn to control her powers in a place designed for people like her. Sorted into the house of Gryffindor, Ituau lived every day fearlessly and with a tremendous sense of justice. She fought daily with her peers who were in favor of blood supremacy and she became known for her fierce determination and drive. After her graduation, not much is known about what Ituau did...only that she did a fair spot of traveling in the UK before returning to the islands.

And when she returned...she was pregnant. Ituau didn't know the name of the man who fathered her son...only that he was a massive yet gentle soul. A half giant. The two had spent a passionate night together before she returned home. And there was just no way to find him.

Etano was raised with love and affection by all on his island. He grew fast...a result of his quarter giant blood. And by the time he was ten years old, Etano stood at over six feet tall. He was broad and strong and his tribe revered his stature. But the day of his eleventh birthday...Etano and his mother woke to an owl on the windowsill. An envelope clutched in it's beak. Though Ituau couldn't fathom how the school had found them there...she was so proud and so happy that they had. Itaua made the decision to move to the UK with Etano...choosing to prioritize her son and possibly search for the half giant who had captivated her heart in a blissful night eleven years ago.

At school, Etano was sorted into Hufflepuff...his gentle and loving nature breeding a sense of loyalty and care like no other. By his third year, Etano stood at six feet and eight inches...towering over his peers and being cursed with the worst case of resting bitch face anyone had ever seen. Etano constantly looked like a man no one wanted to mess with...but all of his classmates knew his heart and knew that he could never hurt a fly.

Outside of his classes, Etano (Or Tan as his classmates call him), could often be found in the library. He loved books. Yes, he loved to learn and to study...but more than anything he loved to read fiction. He loved love stories where the character found and fell in love. He loved a happy ending. And he dreamed of it for himself.

Post graduation, Tan stayed on with the school. Pince retired...and he took over the library. He runs a clean and tight ship...ensuring meticulously that each book is properly in it's home. He takes care of the students who enter his domain. And he is still searching for love and acceptance in every day he wakes up.
