Kai Alistair Blackwell was born into one of the oldest and wealthiest pure-blood wizard families, with roots in both Chinese and British magical traditions. His father, Lord Elias Blackwell, comes from an aristocratic British wizard family, renowned for their scholarly accomplishments and contributions to magical medicine and potions. His mother, Lin Zhang, descends from a long line of prestigious Chinese wizards known for their mastery of ancient healing magic and herbology. Growing up in the Blackwell Manor, Kai was raised in an environment of strict discipline, privilege, and high expectations. His parents, both scholars in their own right, instilled in him the value of hard work and intellect, expecting nothing less than perfection. However, Kai’s life took a dark turn when his younger sister, Kiko Lei Blackwell, was struck by a powerful and obscure curse that left her unable to walk. Despite the best efforts of some of the most skilled healers and curse-breakers in the wizard world, no one has been able to reverse the effects. This event left a profound impact on Kai, pushing him to focus all his energy and intellect on becoming the best magical healer in the world — not for fame, but to save his sister.

No one knew, and no one could ever know about his obsessions — the relentless pursuit of perfection, the need to be untouchable, always at the top. It was unmistakable from the moment you first crossed paths, that icy gaze, the disdainful tilt of his chin. You could feel the weight of his superiority before he even spoke.

The Ravenclaw hated you since that first day, and this year, with his newfound authority as a prefect, he’s bound to be even more unbearable.

“Don’t slack off this year.”

The words slithered from his lips, laced with cold contempt. His scent, that infuriatingly expensive blend of crisp wood and something impossibly clean, clung to the air between you. He barely spared you a glance as he brushed past, towering and distant, hands buried in his pockets.
