Caleb here is the son of the former Head Guardian who was killed by the Warriors of Light earlier in the year. He has a twin sister as well as another sister who is two years younger and I would really love it if someone took them up!

I don't have anything specific in mind for these two but I would love it if they were both close to Caleb, especially the twin sister. The celebs listed are only suggestions and can be changed, they just must have dark hair.
Caleb's history is below:Caleb Andrew Nicholson was born to Robert and Marie on the 16th of May. His parents were, as some believed, born into completely different worlds. His father was from a well known pureblood family while his mother was a muggle born who hadn't even known that magic existed until strange things started happening and she eventually received her letter to Hogwarts. The two met briefly as first years but did not really have much to do with one another, after all Robert was in Gryffindor while Marie was in Hufflepuff. When they both entered into their sixth year, however, everything changed. For years Robert had been training as a Guardian and while he had yet to gain much experience in the field, his training came in handy when he stumbled across an attack in progress in Hogsmeade. Naturally he could not just stand by and watch, he took down the attacker only to find that the victim was Marie, one of his classmates.
After the Aurors took away the attacker, he and Marie were left to really get to know each other properly and within a few months they were an item. They stayed together throughout the remainder of their time at Hogwarts including their eighth and ninth years and after graduation they moved in together. Robert went on to become a Guardian, quickly rising up through the ranks, while Marie worked at St Mungo's as a healer. Together they were the perfect pair and very much in love. A year after graduation they got married and when after a while the two of them tried to start a family, they found that they struggled to do just that. Eventually, just when they were about to give up after spending the best part of a decade trying everything they could come up with, they found out they were expecting. Nine months later Caleb and his twin sister were welcomed into the world, albeit Caleb an hour and a half before his sister. Their parents refused the offers to find out the genders of their babies until they were born as they wanted it to be a surprise and while they had realised that they really didn’t mind what they were having, they were delighted when they found out they had one of each.
Their parents were both busy people who had built incredible careers for themselves but they still tried to be there for their children as much as they could while they were growing up and that included their younger sister when she came along two years later. Together they had a happy childhood, all three children were close and they looked out for each other while they were growing up. Caleb naturally felt protective of the two of them and shortly after the twins’ fourth birthday, their dad was appointed the Head Guardian. The years of hard work had finally paid off and while that meant that he was busier than ever, he refused to let it affect his home life too much and on quite a few occasions he even brought the young Guardian he was mentoring, Dimitri Belikov, home to spend time with them, resulting in him becoming the newest addition to the family and a surrogate uncle to Caleb and his sisters. Family holidays were still the norm for the Nicholson family with Dimitri occasionally tagging along for a few days when he could and Caleb enjoyed every minute of it.
The day his eleventh birthday rolled around, Hogwarts letters arrived for both Caleb and his sister. Both felt guilty for leaving their younger sister behind while they attended the school but they knew that she would follow in a couple of years and both made a point of writing to her as often as they could. Like his dad before him, Caleb was sorted into Gryffindor but the similarities didn’t stop there. He constantly found himself being compared to his dad and soon found himself becoming bored of living in his father’s shadow. He wanted nothing more than to find his own path and while he continued keeping up with the Guardian training he had been undertaking since a young age, he slowly started to find that there were other things he was good at too like quidditch and duelling. By the end of his first year he had made some friends who would stay with him throughout his time at Hogwarts although naturally he still remained close to both his sisters and was delighted when she eventually joined them.
At the start of Caleb’s third year things became a lot more complicated, magic was revealed to the world and both of his parents were forced to work even harder than ever. Caleb had always known that being a Guardian carried with it a certain level of risk but his dad hadn’t worked in the field properly for a few years, instead mostly working behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly, so the Gryffindor had allowed himself to believe that no harm would come to him but he couldn’t have been more wrong. The Warriors of Light weren’t content with throwing the world into chaos, they wanted to take out the figure heads of different organisations too and unfortunately Caleb’s dad was one of those. The teenager still remembers clearly being woken up in the middle of the night while he was at home and going downstairs to find his uncle Dimitri and Rose looking pretty distraught about something. Straight away Caleb had known that it was bad news and he had wrapped an arm around both of his sisters, holding them tightly as they were told the news – their dad was dead.
The next few weeks passed by in a blur and while Dimitri still came over often things were never the same. A couple of Guardians stayed with them at all times in case they were targeted but thankfully no attack came. After the funeral things slowly began to return to normal but naturally what had happened had hit the rumour mill at Hogwarts and Caleb often overheard whispers of people talking about what had happened to his dad. Once annoyed at being compared to him so often, now Caleb found that he didn’t mind it so much as it made him feel a lot closer to the man. Even now months later thinking about his dad still hurts but Caleb has done everything he can to stay strong for his mum and sisters and he has tried to step up to be the man of the house like he knows his dad would have wanted.
