Leonard "Migs" Nagde is a confident, friendly and easy-going young man who enjoys the company of friends. He's very proud of his Ojibwe heritage and keeps his home and family close to his heart. Though not exceptional, he is a strong student and has developed a distinct interest in finding and learning about the magical influences and practices of his own personal heritage.
History
Unlike his magically-capable sister, Tulojow, Albert Nagde never experienced a lot of desire to travel beyond the boundaries of the Chippewa Reservation at Turtle Mountain in North Dakota. While Tulojow left the reservation as a young girl to attend school in the Pacific Northwest, Richard remained in the care of his grandparents and finished high school in North Dakota. After holding down a variety of odds and ends jobs, Albert married and settled down on his grandparents land and began breeding and raising mustangs and rodeo bulls. His three sons and only daughter followed in his shoes as did their sons and daughters. It wasn't until his oldest son, Richard, and his wife, Anna Cynthia, gave birth to their fifth and youngest child that that mold was, once again, broken.
Leonard Migiziins was born in the early hours on September 21st. He grew up in much the same fashion as most of his family. He started kindergarten at the school on the reservation and much of his magical ability lay dormant through most of his childhood. If he showed any indication of his magical abilities, it was subtle enough to be nearly unrecognizable, even by his great aunt during her brief and sporadic visits home. So, it came as a surprise to everyone when Leonard - or 'Migs' as he was called by his friends - was admitted to the Salem Witches Institute.
Though the thought of leaving the reservation and his family secretly intimidated him, Migs started at Salem Junior for sixth grade and quickly found his place among his classmates. He enjoyed school and the magical education though he always looked forward to holidays and summer and the opportunity to return home. Though he was rarely the first one to learn a new spell or complete assignments, he demonstrated a steady and reliable work ethic. Partly due to his great aunt's influence, Migs developed an interest early on in the historical roots of traditional forms of magic - an interest that led him to explore his own cultural magical heritage more closely.
He was never one who needed to excel in every class he took - he was content to excel in the subjects that grasped his interest and perform passably in those that he found less intriguing. Migs was, therefore, surprised (and once again a little intimidated) when he was invited to join the delegation of students from Salem to travel to England for the Tetra-wizard tournament. Or, Scotland, apparently - a country he probably couldn't have found on a map when he left North Dakota for the first time.
