Tobias was always raised to be kind and compassionate by his parents, to treat others how he'd like to be treated regardless of blood purity or circumstance. These lessons have stuck by him throughout his life and he's developed into a friendly lad, always eager to make new friends and seek out those who might happen to share the same interests as him.

Perhaps it has something to do with having five siblings and always having to fight to be heard above the chaos when everyone attempted to talk at once- but Tobias can come across as rather loud. He often gets overexcited about things that he's passionate about and with that excitement comes volume, he often has to be reminded by his parents that he is shouting and maybe needs to turn it down a notch.

Energetic and rambunctious, he is a handful and some might say an acquired taste - he always seems to have bags of energy (although if you catch him before he's had his breakfast in the morning, you might find a slightly more sluggish and ill-tempered Tobias). He is passionate about sports, adamant that he will be the best Quidditch player in the world one day and any who try to tear down his dreams will find that his sweet disposition is hiding a rather fiery temper.

Tobias has always been hot-headed, if someone pushes the right buttons and knows just how to wind him up - he will lose his temper quite quickly. This can lead people to believing that he is rather argumentative, when in reality he rarely starts an argument (but he can sure as hell finish them).

The boy has been labelled a troublemaker more than once, with his excitable nature and tireless energy - his fiery temper and his affinity with pranks, he often lands himself in deep water. As he grows older, he is likely to push boundaries further and learn some harsh lessons.
Tobias was born the sixth and final child of Alan and Molly Twiggs, with five older siblings and parents who adored each of their children, there was never a shortage of love whilst he was growing up.

Raised in the countryside, away from the muggle world, Tobias rarely came into contact with non-magical folk while he was a child, but his parents always taught him from a young age that everyone deserved respect and kindness no matter if they were muggle or magical, half-blood or pureblood. Because of this, they raised a kind and accepting son who didn't judge people on their differences, but on the way they treated others.

The family, although surrounded by the love of each other, never had much money and were rather poor - because of this, Tobias grew up never receiving anything new, unless it was absolutely required. Instead, he grew up wearing his older brothers' clothes, by the time they passed down to him they were always a little more worn than he would've liked but he still thanked his parents for any "new" item that passed down to him, not desiring to incite any guilt.

As Tobias grew older and began to learn more about the value placed on materiel items and money, he began to feel embarrassed by his second-hand clothes and other items that were never new when they were his. This embarrassment only grew when he started his first year at Hogwarts, when many of the other students had their nice new school robes on and his robes were a little too big for him and a little more worn.

Spending time with his siblings was always a favourite activity for Tobias. On sunny days they would play Quidditch in their backyard, the sport becoming a passion of his from a young age, and when it rained he would sit inside and try to teach his older siblings the best strategies for winning at chess. Tobias always yearned to go see a "real" Quidditch match, but tickets cost money- usually an expensive amount of money, and that was money that they didn't have.

Tobias looked up to his siblings when he was growing up, but none more-so than his eldest sister Amelia. He admired her confidence and daring and the fact that she too got angry sometimes, just like him. Because of how much he looked to her, it should've been no surprise when Tobias began to develop into quite the prankster himself.

Causing trouble and mischief became an every day occurrence for the boy, with his siblings the unwilling victims of his pranks and practical jokes. If he went too far, he would disappear for a few hours and emerge later to face the consequences once everyone had had the time to calm down and reconsider murdering an "innocent" child.

When he was five years old, he displayed his first signs of being truly magical. He had been playing in the garden with his siblings when one of his brothers snuck up behind him and gave him what was likely the fright of his life at the time. With a scream, the young child disappeared from his place upon the lawn and reappeared to his horror, atop the roof of his family's house. Although the memory has been mostly blocked out by Tobias, he still retains a fear of heights and of falling from this frightening and traumatic experience.

Though it would be many years after his first display of magical ability that he would finally receive his acceptance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When that day came, Tobias could barely contain his excitement. He was overjoyed to be going to the same school that each of his siblings had been attending and leaving him alone with his parents the majority of the year.

However, when they went to Diagon alley- his older siblings got a few new supplies that they required for school and he was once again given their hand-me-downs. He told himself that he didn't mind, that his parents were trying their best, but there was still a part of him that was disappointed.

When the day finally came for him to bid goodbye to his parents on the platform and board the Hogwarts Express for the first time, he was overcome with excitement. Giving each of his parents a quick parting hug, he flew onto the train, ready to begin his adventure in a new school.
