A MORE IN DEPTH LOOK

Personality: Carson’s personality can be described as resilient, thrifty and loyal. His father’s business failure was a challenge for the entire family. Carson coped with it well, by comforting his siblings and volunteering to work in the summer holidays. Although he tries not to show it, the incident had a large impact on him. He had always been someone who thinks twice before acting, but became even more reserved, rational and careful, especially when spending money. Some might call him a cheapskate, which is why he tries his best to show his love and respect for family and friends using other nonmaterial methods.
Likes: Family, friends, animals, being thrifty, art, photography, wizard’s chess, ice cream, firewhiskey
Dislikes: Betrayal, being poor, being in the spotlight, studying
History: Carson was born to loving parents Belinda and Christian Coleman, both of half-blood heritage. He has an older brother Parker and a younger sister Taylor. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Hufflepuff. An average student, he managed to just skate by in his classes, though he generally performed better in Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures. He participated in the extra-curricular activities of Art, Wizard’s Chess and Creature Companions throughout his time at school.

When Carson was fifteen years old, his father lost his business after some shady dealings by his business partner and brother, creating financial hardships and family strife. Carson’s mom, former homemaker, had to go back to work after the loss of dad’s business. The kids had to get summer/part time jobs as soon as they were old enough to work. Carson worked as an admin intern in the summer before his sixth year, and as a food court server in the summer before his seventh year.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Carson decided to seek employment at the Ministry of Magic. He continued to work small jobs while he waited and prepared for the placement period. His application was accepted, and he was offered the position of Personal Assistant to the Head of DMC, Ms Aurora Bagnold.

Carson worked hard for Aurora, although he often faced challenges. For example, even before his very first orientation, a distress call was sent out from a Hogwarts field trip to the Welsh Dragon Reserve and he participated in the restraint and containment effort of the reserve’s dragons as an employee in DMC. However, he froze when ordered to protect the children from a pair of Peruvian Vipertooths. No harm was done in the end, but he felt that he failed in the assignment and did not belong in the Ministry. He resigned on his first official day … only for his resignation to be rejected by Aurora!

So he worked again happily, and his diligence was recognised when Aurora asked him to move over to the Department of Magical Transportation with her in 2107. He accepted the position of Apparition Test Examiner.
