HONEST
⇢ Clay doesn't necessarily have some huge moral hangup about lying. It's more like, he can't be bothered to do it nine times out of ten. He'd much rather just shoot straight with people than have to explain himself if he gets caught. Sometimes, he's a little too honest, and his mouth gets him in trouble. Mainly in bars, after he's had too much to drink. Luckily for him, he can hold his own better than he can hold his tongue.
SHREWD
⇢ Contrary to what one might think, Clay isn't stupid. He's actually pretty sharp, picking things up fairly easily when they're explained to him. People tend to assume he's a dumb hick, and he's more than happy to humiliate them by proving them wrong. He's not a genius, of course, but to him, most things are pretty simple, once you take the time to pay attention. He's got a fine eye for detail, and is quick when processing information. He might act like an idiot when it suits him, but it's mostly an act.
INVENTIVE
⇢ Clay grew up in a small country town, with a small country family, who didn't have a lot of money. That is to say, sometimes things broke, and they had to get creative with how to fix them, because the nearest store carrying the supplies was an hours drive away, and gas costs money. So do supplies. When his dad was around it wasn't a big deal, but he wasn't around much. Clay's grandfather taught him all sorts of creative solutions to problems, and that something wasn't broke until it was too broke for duct tape to fix it. As such, he tends to default to cheap, unorthodox solutions to his problems rather than going the traditional route.
STUBBORN
⇢ If a man has nothing else, he should have his pride. Or, that's what his grandfather always said. Clay took it seriously, and unfortunately clings to his pride like nothing else. He's pretty set in his ways, which isn't so bad most of the time, but when he's about to do something stupid (which is often) on a dare or 'just 'cause', it can be difficult to talk him out of it. Likewise, he needs to be talked into borrowing money or accepting help, has to be convinced to buy something new instead of fixing what's broken for the thousandth time, and usually conned into doing anything he doesn't want to do.
PLAYFUL
⇢ Clay grew up an only child, but his mama and grandparents never hesitated to make sure he was having a happy childhood. Generally speaking, they overcompensated for his dad walking out, trying to make sure he never felt like he was lacking. As a result, Clay grew up a little spoiled, and a lot reckless. He was generally allowed to do whatever he liked, as long as it wasn't too dangerous. Unfortunately, once he was in school, 'too dangerous' got difficult to define, and he did whatever he wanted when he was away from home. He likes to spend time rough-housing with friends, pulling stupid stunts, and generally having a good time, no matter what consequences he might face the next day. He's also very affectionate with his closest loved ones, teasing them and cracking jokes to make them smile.
AMIABLE
⇢ Generally speaking, Clay likes everyone until they give him a reason not to. He's quick with a smile, likes to make small talk, and is a fairly easy-going fellow most of the time. He wants people to feel comfortable and happy as often as possible, so if he can find a way to do that for them while they're in his presence, he will. Unless you have a viewpoint that greatly differs from his own, on a subject that's very important to him, he's quite easy to get along with. His mother says he's never met a stranger in his life; Clay says they just don't stay strangers for long.

CHILDHOOD
⇢ Annalise Walker was part of a rather large family, not that you would've known it. Her father had a penchant for proposing too soon, and didn't care much to fight to save his marriages. She had a younger half-sister, Mary, who was one of the few siblings she was ever close to. The pair had a falling out, unfortunately, but not before Mary introduced Annalise to Emmerich Troy, a friend of her husband's. Annalise and Emmerich hit it off and began a relationship, but Emmerich traveled a lot for work. When she came up pregnant, he vanished off the face of the Earth.
⇢ Annalise tried her best with her son Clay, but they struggled a lot. Eventually she moved to her stepfather's farm, figuring having some help with the boy, as well as a stable roof over their heads without threat of eviction, was the best decision. She penned an angry letter to Clay's father when the boy was three, railing at him for abandoning them. She regretted sending it, until the checks started coming. She didn't like using the money on principle, but reasoned that if she could've gotten the b*****d to court, that's what she would've gotten anyway.
⇢ Clay didn't meet his father until he was six; his mother had written a letter to Emmerich, detailing some strange goings-on at Clay's school, all seemingly centered around his son. She'd written him now and again over the years, supposing if the man was going to give them money he may as well hear about the boy, since he must care at least a little. The family was floored when Emmerich showed up; at first, Clay's grandfather refused to let him see the boy, but Emmerich convinced Annalise and her mother that it was important that he talk to his son. Annalise sat with Clay as his father questioned him about the odd occurrences. He determined that, like him, his son was a wizard. He filled Annalise in on the magical world, and promised to handle Clay's schooling. After that point, he was a much more active part of his son's life, though his actual presence was still minimal.
SCHOOL YEARS
⇢ Clay, for his part, didn't find magical school any more interesting than muggle school. He made decent grades, courtesy of being smart by default, but generally didn't ever find anything particularly interesting about magic itself. When asked what he wanted to do for a living, he usually shrugged and said something about working on his grandfather's farm, or being an auto-mechanic. He didn't discover anything that really held any interest for him until he was thirteen, and his grandmother started teaching him her old family recipes over the Summer. Cooking, he found, was exciting and relaxing all at once, and allowed him to stretch his creative muscles in a way that he'd never considered. It wasn't long before he was experimenting in the kitchen, reading everything he could about food from other cultures and new and interesting ways to combine flavors.
⇢ Of course, he likes to say nothing interesting happened to him, his whole life, until he was fourteen. That year at school, he was at a Quodpot match, Coyote v. Chameleon, cheering on his buddy Jose, when he noticed a rather pretty older girl cheering on the Chameleon team. Being somewhat bored, seeing as he was only there to cheer Jose on and not out of any real interest in the sport, Clay made it a personal game to try and cheer louder than the (rather enthusiastic) girl. Apparently, she caught on, because each time he got louder, so did she. By the end of the game, he could barely talk, but that didn't stop him from asking her on a date, 'to discuss the game.' To his surprise (she was two years older than him, after all), she said yes. Even more surprising was when she approached him not long after to ask him on a second date. He didn't quite get why, since she'd said no when he'd suggested it, but wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. They continued seeing each other for a while, and eventually he found out that she had a habit of making dares with her best friend. Among those dares was her going on dates with him. By that point, though, she was genuinely enjoying his company and seeing him by her own choice, so he decided to be smug that he'd gotten a sixteen year old to like him as opposed to offended that she'd been basically playing with him.
POST-GRADUATION
⇢ Clay graduated from school with little of note, aside from his continued relationship with Denise, which had prevailed despite numerous bets against them (which he happily collected money on). He worked his grandfather's farm for a bit, then eventually figured that if he wanted to be able to afford a wedding ring, he should get an actual job. He started out working the kitchen of his home town's only diner, eventually building up enough experience to get the chance to impress some people at some job interviews until he got hired on at a couple fairly successful restaurants. It took some time, but he managed to save up enough (and build up enough of a reputation) that he was able to get a ring and a job near Denise's home. He didn't even tell her he was coming, just showed up at her place, rang the doorbell, and was on one knee when she answered the door. Of course, he had to introduce himself to her father and convince the man he wasn't a complete jerk, but eventually he got the blessing and they got married.
⇢ Things were going pretty well for the pair, nothing exciting, but that was fine by Clay. Unfortunately, the universe seemingly heard him saying as much, and decided to shake things up in the worst of ways. They got news that Denise's sister and her husband had been in a horrible car accident. Neither had survived, leaving the couple's two boys orphaned. Clay didn't even have to be convinced of what to do, the second his wife suggested adopting the boys, he was all for it, even if it meant moving to the UK, of all places. Better to uproot himself and his wife than two kids who'd just lost their parents, he figured. The got some money together, and managed to purchase The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade village. The top floor of the Inn was converted into a decent-sized apartment, and the inn and bar were open for business.

■ CREATIVE Denise is particularly creative. She has a mind for finding inventive and new ways to express herself, and excels at anything regarding artistry in the kitchen. She takes great pride whenever someone complements her on her work as a result.
■ STUBBORN Denise is also stubborn. When she has her mind made up, it's hard for someone to change it. She stands her ground more often than not, and refuses to budge without some really concrete evidence to the contrary.
■ INTELLIGENT Denise is fairly intelligent. While she doesn't quite have the same level of intelligence as her older sister did, she nevertheless can figure out easy solutions for problems and apply her mind to things that are rather abstract as a result. This also is reflected in her creative ability.
■ ADAPTABLE Denise is also rather adaptable, able to jump from one situation to another without much need to prepare herself. This has caused some problems in the past, as she could also be termed as rash as a result, but she has never had an issue that she couldn't adapt herself to.
■ FRIENDLY Denise is a rather cheerful friendly person, willing to smile and greet people she doesn't know, as well as having an uncanny knack with making friends in a room full of strangers. She hasn't run into a situation where she stays mad for long, and judges people based on their actions rather than what other people say.
■ EXCITABLE Denise also can be quite high-strung at times, especially when she's stressed. She's a constant ball of energy, going from one activity to the next without slowing, and often is doing something with her hands as a result. She also tends to overreact at times when something or someone surprises her.

CHILDHOOD Denise is the youngest child of Parker and Caroline Evered, her sister Carley being six years older than she is. While there was a considerable gap in their ages, she and Carley were pretty close, as Denise looked up to her older sister all the time. The fact that their family only had girls also meant that Parker, their father, was particularly protective of them, and therefore kept an eye on any boys that might have been interested in his daughters. Carley was the first to reveal that she was magical, and Denise showed her magical abilities shortly after her sister went off to attend Salem. Denise tried to get them to take her with them, but unfortunately was denied until she got older and could go on her own.
SCHOOL YEARS Denise had a fairly average school life up until she started attending Salem. She hated that she had to move all the way up north to go to school during the school year, and disliked being away from her family even more. However, she soon mellowed out, finding friends and eventually discovering she was enjoying her time at the school. She found a good number of subjects simple enough, while others were just annoying in her opinion. However, she decided to match her stubborn streak to those annoying subjects and worked to pass the classes even if she didn't continue in them later in her school career.
The most interesting part of her life (at least according to her husband) was during a quodpot match in her sixth year. She had gone to it with Erica to let Erica swoon over one of the players on the Chameleon team, and there found herself trying to compete with who could show more support with a fourth year named Clay. By the end of the match, she had barely stood when she found him asking her out on a date. In her shock, she agreed to it, only to have Erica tease her about it all before the date itself. After said date, Erica dared her to go out with the fourteen year old again, finding her friend's awkwardness hilarious, but Denise took it as a personal challenge. Soon the two were in a daring match, which culminated in one famous dare that Denise actually kiss the boy. Denise, by this point actually infatuated with Clay, taking her up on it and daring Erica that if she did it, Erica had to run through the halls naked. Thus came the rather infamous incident the entire school turned out for, where Erica, who had lost the bet, blushed from head to toe while she raced from her dorm, did a circuit around the school, and then dashed back to her room.
While Denise found that getting her best friend back for her little dare game was amusing, it did have one effect. Denise actually found that she rather liked Clay, and enjoyed spending time around the teen. She might have not liked how their relation started out, but it had gotten to the point where she rather enjoyed the journey rather than its origins. Therefore, she was actually disappointed that she was leaving school and wouldn't see Clay for two years until he graduated. During this time, her sister married and had a son, Shinobu, and Denise could tell her sister was having a good life over in England with her new husband. She had moved over in Denise's fourth year, and while Denise missed having her sister in the same country, she contented herself with the knowledge that Carley was happy where she was.
POST GRADUATION When Denise left school, she decided she actually wanted to start her own business. However, the school wasn't exactly the best place for her to learn how to run one, so she decided for a while that she was going to work for one to learn how to run one successfully. During this time, she didn't see much of Clay as he went back home for a while. They did keep in contact though, and she spent much of that time learning as much as she could learning business management. Then one day, out of the blue, Clay showed up at her doorstep asking for her hand in marriage. She was surprised and shocked, and would have said yes, but her father decided that he had to get to know Clay before he would let her marry him. It did eventually happen, but it took several hunting and fishing trips with her father and Clay to get him to agree to it.
Then tragedy befell the family. Carley was involved in an accident that killed both her and her husband, leaving Shinobu and their younger son Akira orphaned. When Denise heard about it, she was devastated, and decided to talk to Clay about moving to England to help raise the two boys. Clay didn't need much convincing, and Denise was both surprised and glad for it, though considering Clay's own past, she figured she knew the reason for it. When they got to England and met with the two boys, it was a bit of a surprise to find out that all four had been in the accident as Shinobu was obviously injured, but Akira wasn't. That's when they discovered Akira actually was magical, while his older brother was not. Adopting the two boys wasn't difficult, though trying to find a place to work and live was a bit more tricky. However, that was remedied when they discovered Hogsmeade and The Three Broomsticks. Deciding to pool their resources, they purchased the inn and restaurant.
