overall personality:
Had Quentin been a Hogwarts student, he likely would have been sorted into Hufflepuff. The New Yorker is quite the loyal guy, always staying true to his self and his word and going out of his way to help others. He's out of this world kind, so much so you may think it's kinda icky. He'll do anything for a person in need, no matter what it takes. He's a very hardworking dude and it shows in everything he does because along with those badger traits, he is also the perfect lil Pukwudgie.
Q is extremely passionate about everything he does. He puts his heart and soul into not only his work, but his everyday life as well. He is a firm believer in good karma but he doesn't really care if he gets anything in return. With his passion, he is also very determined. If he is given a specific task, Q won't stop until he has done his best to fulfill it, all while making sure he is the very best he can be. To some, it may seem like he has way too much energy. He's just happy doing what he loves best, which is helping people and making sure they are also happy. Q smiles when the world smiles. Because of his passionate personality, it may also seem to some that he gets way too into certain things. He isn't competitive in the slightest but it he may sometimes come on a little too strong for some people and Q does his best to kind of sit back and reel it back in a bit. He doesn't exactly do well with being told "no," and every now and then Q may suffer from anxiety and bouts of anger because of his passionate and determined nature. He tries not to let this flaw bleed into how he treats others or how others perceive him, but it may sometimes show when he is having a particularly bad day. And unfortunately, the brunt of it may be put off onto those whom he is closest to.
Another downfall is that he is fiercely protective. Mainly over his younger, adopted sister. Though he also has a weak spot for any underdog. Perhaps it's because when he was very young, he was the underdog. Q likes to think he is a rather empathetic human, and he will listen to anyone if they need an ear. He is the guy you'd go to for a shoulder to cry on and you would never hear a peep out of him. He finds himself rather connected to people more by emotion than anything else, which is why he identifies as demisexual. Physical attraction really doesn't mean much to him.

history:
After Gellert Grindelwald revealed himself to be using the identity of Percival Graves in 1926, the real Percival Graves was found to be missing. To this day it is not known what Grindelwald did with the American Auror, but he was presumed dead after a year or so of searching. He left behind a wife and one son named Crosby. Crosby Graves grew up to be an Auror just like his father, marrying and having a son of his own: Nixon Graves. Nixon was the first to break the chain of Graves in the Auror office of the MACUSA. Nixon worked in the Wand Permit Office, a job he took very seriously. Nixon was also the first to marry a muggle in the Graves family. Raluca Stan was a beautiful Romanian woman that Nixon met while on vacation in Romania. It was sort of a whirlwind affair and the two fell in love over the summer of 1990 and were married the following spring. Then that following winter in 1991, Quentin Graves was born.
Luckily, Nixon had explained to Raluca shortly upon meeting her that he was a wizard. Raluca had always believed there was more to her world than meets the eye and accepted this fact happily. Nixon had explained, too, that if they were to ever have a child that they, too, could be a witch or wizard since he had come from such a pureblooded family. Raluca was overjoyed, actually, at the prospect of having a wizarding child. And it just so happened that Quentin was! Q's first sign of wizardry occurred when he was just a baby when he would make his rattle change from baby blue to the slightest hue of orange. Nixon and Raluca both were thrilled.
The family lived in New York City, where Raluca was able to use her degree to find a job as a nurse while Nixon was still able to work. The family would spend their summers in Romania. When Q became of age, he entered Ilvermorny and was sorted into Pukwudgie. Quentin was the first Graves to not be sorted into Thunderbird or the Horned Serpent and he was very proud of that fact. At school, Quentin was a social butterfly and found friends in every group. He didn't discriminate and he was as friendly as can be, so it was never hard for him to make friends. In his history classes, they learned abotu Gellert Grindelwald and the small part that his "great-grandfather" played in the early beginnings of the evil British wizard. While the world never found out what happened to his great-grandfather, Quentin wanted to do his family name proud and decided in his fourth year that he wanted to become an Auror. So the Pukwudgie studied hard and excelled in his Dark Arts classes, hoping to one day become an Auror like his grandfather and great-grandfather before him.
When Quentin was fifteen and the family was on vacation in Romania, Raluca got some saddening news that an old friend of hers had passed away leaving behind an infant daughter. With no other family in Romania, Raluca's friend had left her to be the legal guardian of the young girl named Ilana. It wasn't hard at all for Nixon to agree to adopting the baby and the family brought her back home to the States, making Quentin a big brother. He had always been an only child growing up but being almost sixteen years old, he gladly took on the role of older brother. He became extremely protective of Ilana, and quickly found that he would do anything and everything for her. The little girl had him wrapped around her finger. Turns out, the young girl would end up having some magic in herself, too.
Two years later, Quentin graduated Ilvermorny and quickly entered the Auror training program at MACUSA and passed at the top of his group. He continued to live at home until he was about twenty-three just so he could help with Ilana while she was home from school. When he finally became a full time Auror, Quentin was out on his own and finally making a name for himself. He was a great American Auror and well known within the MACUSA because of his last name. He had never really minded that he had such a history attached to his last name, but rather made the most of it.
When word reached MACUSA about the goings on in England at Hogwarts, Quentin was understandably worried. What would this mean for North America? He was certain that their own securities would likely get upped but he couldn't be so sure. Being in the dark about something so important to him worried him, and he wanted so badly to be in the meetings with the Head of Security knowing what their plans were to protect Ilvermorny where his sister and hundreds of other kids were. Turns out, Quentin had a reason to be worried. After the Tri-Wizard Tournament's attacks, just weeks after, Ilvermorny had been attacked and the foundation destroyed so badly, there was no way they could return there to teach. The solution? Send the children to Hogwarts.
Quentin was far more furious about the sitution than many of the other Aurors. His sister was going to go to the school that had been attacked more than once by a blood purist group and had just committed terrors that killed multiple students from two other schools. Were the heads of security insane? Q decided he wouldn't let it happen without proper supervision; the Americans needed a voice in the British Ministry for their Ilvermorny transfers. Perhaps it was his last name that granted him his wish, but Quentin was permitted to be transferred to England while the Ilvermorny transfers were being transferred as well so as to keep the MACUSA informed to anything going on within the Ministry that had to do with the blood purist group. Quentin wasn't going to let his sister go over seas without him protecting her.
So now Quentin is in England, working as a transfer Auror for the time being and keeping watch within the Ministry for the MACUSA. And if anything happens to his sister, there's no telling what he'll do.
