A boy from Hollistic Orphanage in Croydon, Xi En crossed into the Harry Potter world after the original owner died. He possesses a proficiency panel that tracks spell practice and unlocks titles. His initial magical talent is poor, but he discovers a strong aptitude for Transfiguration. To survive poverty and poor health, he studies compulsively, often practicing spells up to thirteen hours a day. He is thin with emerald eyes and wears worn clothes. With Professor McGonagall's help he obtains a scholarship covering tuition. On the Hogwarts Express he impresses Hermione and Justin with his command of the Levitation Charm and Transfiguration. He is a Hatstall and is sorted into Ravenclaw despite his wish for Hufflepuff. He plans to achieve top marks in all seven core subjects to secure his scholarship and future.
