While most of the McKanes are now in Manchester, the Reaveys still live in Ireland with the exception of one uncle who's gone to Paris. Most of Ciarán's paternal uncles, aunts, and cousins live around Dublin, but his grandparents continue to live in the western countryside. His parents made sure all of their children could speak Irish so they didn't embarrass them when they went to visit their grandparents. Ciarán is also fluent in French—something he's actually used.
Ciarán enjoys watching Quidditch, but not as much as playing it. However, his skill is nothing extraordinary so he only plays casually with friends. Ciarán spends way to much time reading, whether it’s a novel or one of his textbooks.

**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Liam and Meagan met in Dublin in the summer of '00 during the McKane's yearly holiday to Ireland to visit her father's family. In his fourth year at the University of Dublin with another two left, school was all Liam could afford to concentrate on. Love took him by surprise, and by September Liam in a jewelry store searching for the perfect ring. While Meagan went to college in Manchester, Liam struggled through his classes. She was all he could concentrate on. The Christmas holiday came and for the first time in her life, Meagan was the first McKane up and rushing the rest of her clan to get to the airport. Within a few hours of her arrival, she was in Liam's arms and wearing his ring. Although Meagan would give anything to move in with her fiancée, it was impossible at the time with school.
Time would pass and test their long distance, Meagan spent his summer breaks in Dublin and Liam came to Manchester for Christmas and Easter. Two years latter, Liam had his DDS and was on the first plane to England. They soon married and before long, Meagan learned she was pregnant. She took a break from school while Liam endured a year of apprenticeship before being registered with the National Health Service. Ciarán came in early October.
The Reavey family relocated to North London in '08. Liam and one of his friends opened a practice in Enfield. Meagan had no time to go back to school, taking care of the newest Reavey, Doran, who was getting ready to turn 1. A few years later, another one came along, Abigail.
Ciarán attended a local primary school and was one of the better young students. When he was nine years old, his father indulged his mother since she'd given up on her schooling in acquiring an old bookstore. The previous owner had passed on, and the young man who'd inherited it had no desire to leave his law firm in central London to run the shop.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Ciarán couldn't have been more excited to learn about this new world. Sharing a love for literature and fantasy, it was a dream come true walking through the doors of Hogwarts surrounded by impossibilities. Of course, Ciarán quickly noted not everybody in school was as awestruck by magic as he—well, a lot of them also were raised around it. Give him a break!
The hype soon died down when the work began. Still, everything was intensely fascinating. That wasn't entirely true, he did get bored sometimes. The first summer back was a little bit of a downer for him. His mom's bookstore became a second home, Ciarán spent hours in one of the comfortable reading chairs reading school textbooks and other books he'd purchased while his mother worked.
Ciarán mellowed as he entered his teens and he grew more accustomed to the wizarding world. The first time Ciarán officially started working in his mom's shop was during the Christmas Holiday of his 3rd year when she needed help handling the seasonal crowd. His younger brother, Doran, expected a letter of his own to come sometime during the summer between Ciarán's 3rd and 4th year, yet none came. Ciarán could do nothing about Doran's situation. He honestly wished his little brother could come with him but Doran would never be a wizard.
When Ciarán returned that Christmas, his parents surprised their children with the announcement of impending fourth sibling. Morrigan arrived that fall.
Between his 5th and 6th summer, Ciarán took a month to visit Paris. His uncle, Alistair, owned an almost out of place Irish pub in the city. Ciarán covered the plane ride over with the money he made at his mom's bookstore, and replayed his uncle for housing and food by working Thursday through Saturday night at the pup. One of the people Ciarán met his first night working was a young wizard named Jean Poirer. The two were fast friends, when Ciarán wasn't working, he spent most of his time with Jean. The French wizard knew a few tricks Ciarán had never seen before and he taught a few of them to Ciarán. In spite of the danger, Ciarán leapt at the knowledge when Jean revealed himself an Animagus. With Jean's help, Ciarán's determination helped him master the skill. Ciarán was also romantically involved with Jean, though they knew their relationship would inevitably end when he went back to London.
While he was in Paris, Abigail had received her own letter from Hogwarts. Ciarán would be returning with his younger sister.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Currently, Ciarán's entertaining the idea of becoming a cursebreaker. On the other hand, he's also thought of neglecting the adventurous life to work at one of the publishing companies located in Diagon Alley. Sometime in the next year, he plans on making his decision. Or finding a vampire to sire him, he's read way too many supernatural romance novels.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER –
Face Claim:
Boyd Holbrook.
Role-playing Sample:
Ciarán sat on the stone rail overlooking the court with his back against one of the supports and his right leg dangling over the edge. The weekend meant a brief break from class, a time to relax . . . or finish a paper due Monday morning. In Ciarán's case, the paper everybody else would be complaining about Sunday at lunch and then struggling to finish (or start) after dinner was already done, completed Friday after class ended. Come Sunday evening Ciarán would be sitting in the common room reclining with a book, looking up to playfully smirk at his friends who still had to finish.
The scene wasn't all to uncommon, Ciarán with one of the books he sent for from his mother's shop holding his attention. In spite of the afternoon sun shinning as brilliant as any day in summer, the cool fall breeze would teach anybody who came out dressed in short sleeves. Ciarán wore a navy long sleeved shirt and he kept the sleeves pushed up to his elbows as though the chilly air wasn’t bothering him. The wind was what got him, blowing the pages of his book and his hair all around.
With the next annoying breeze sending his hair blowing across his face, Ciarán tucked his long locks behind his ears and dug in his pants pocket for a hair tie. He groaned and purposely knocked his head back against the stone support. A pack of wintergreen gum and a few pencils, but nothing to help with his hair.
Fine! Ciarán huffed and turned back to his book. He wasn't going to let a little wind get the better of him.
"Ciarán!" He jerked his head up just in time to see his book leaving his hands and coming right at his face. Surprised more than anything, Ciarán scrambled for his book, trying to catch it before it fell down below in the dirt.
"Ciarán!" He knew that voice. Still upset about his book, he turned to glare at his younger sister, Abby, who stood on his left with the biggest, cheesiest grin on her little face. Ciarán swore up and down he never smiled like that, but according to his mother, his grin looked exactly the same. Abby was a first year, luckily sorted in the same house with her brother. She did well enough in class, but occasionally got behind because she wasn't paying attention like she ought to.
Rolling his eyes, he tried his best to remain grumpy. "Yes, Abby?" said Ciarán. She was a petite little girl, with a bob of chestnut hair and natural auburn highlights that came from their father's side of the family.
She swayed from side to side as she smiled. "I'm ready. You said last night you would tutor me in Charms today."
Of course Ciarán remembered. That's why he hadn't gone to Hogsmeade with the others today.
"You were busy with your friends," he replied. "Besides, you knew where I'd be."
Abby shook her head and put her hands on her hips. "Nu-huh. I thought you left but they said you hadn't been with the group when they went to Hogsmeade. So I checked the library and you weren't there either."
"Alright, I should've said something. I'm sorry." Ciarán glanced over the railing at the book, sighed, and scooted off. "Go to the common room and I'll meet you there. I'm going to get a snack before I go back."
Nodding her little head, the 11 year old took off, leaving Ciarán alone to forage.

Likes/Dislikes:

- Punctuality.
- Strawberries.

- The moon.
- Cigarettes, especially cloves. He says its not a habit, and that's partially true, since he's clean the majority of the school year. Once he goes home for summer though . . .
- Romance novels.
- His family.
- Children. Despite the mess, they're adorable. Ciarán intends to have his own Quidditch team.
Dislikes:
- Spiders.
- Busy work.
- Early mornings.
- Rain, because he has the terrible luck of always being caught outside whenever it starts to pour and then the tedious (and painful) task of detangling his wet hair.
Bad breath and body odor, just stay away from him if you don't have the decency to take care of your stink. - People who mispronounce his name, its Keer-in and not Si-ar-in.
- Dogs. Okay, so breed of dog besides pugs. They're the exception.
