[INNER THOUGHTS]
Overview: While a bit more outgoing than his twin, Shawn is still one who would rather observe conversation before taking part in it. With less concerns over certain recurring issues, he has no qualms in befriending anyone - but especially those that seem as if they need it the most. Like his father, he has a certain self-sacrificing loyalty to those he calls friend, to the point of ignoring reason and logic - especially where social and other certain boundaries are concerned. Both able to be introverted and extroverted at will, he is a bit of an anomaly in that he enjoys being physically active, but also likes to settle down and read or do some other calming and quiet activity such as reading or wizard's chess.

[HISTORY]
Born several minutes after his twin, Shawn was just as healthy as - and perhaps a bit moreso than - Selena. Neither twin were affected by lycanthropy or their mother's former health problems, and they were always close as they grew. With a naturally defensive streak ingrained into his personality, he was always the one to watch out for his sister. He made friends easier, especially before their school years, and got along best with his twin 'cousins' Jared and Jason. The three boys were nigh inseperable for quite a while, rather like their fathers had been - and still were. Until their seventh birthday, the twins had perfectly normal and happy childhoods, but that late October night was when everything changed.
The trip to Diagon Alley went smoothly under the watchful eye of the twins' mother Coralie, but as the full moon was going to occur on that night, their father couldn't accompany them. There was such a crowd out that late afternoon that Selena somehow was seperated from the rest of her family, and it was around an hour later - after nightfall - before either Shawn or Coralie learned what had happened after she disappeared. In an unprecedented strike, the infamous werewolf Fenrir Greyback had positioned himself in Knockturn Alley and attacked many after nightfall. Selena was among those attacked and had been taken to St. Mungo's, so that was where Shawn and his mother went - and stayed. Though it was a torment to watch, he stayed by his sister's side almost constantly while she healed - and as his mother was close to a breakdown constantly and his father was worn and weary of the knowledge of what had happened, it was a highly draining time for him.
After the incident, it took quite some time for their small family to return to even a semblance of normal, and now they all lived in dread of the inevitable full moon each month. Now highly defensive over his sister and her health, Shawn kept a close eye over her at all times - even when she would balk at the attention. It was a sort of forced routine that became habit for both of them, and eventually became a set part of their relationship. This didn't change when the twins both recieved their Hogwarts letters - a year late because of their birthday - but unfortunately for them, they were sorted into seperate houses. Shawn ended up in Hufflepuff, while Selena went to Gryffindor. Both found niches in their respective houses, but would find ways around not sharing a common room - family trumped everything and always would.
