HISTORY
Dodger's parents were both quite young when they fell in love with one another, and despite a short relationship and the disapproval of his mother's family, the two eloped. Although she was essentially disowned by her family, the two were happy together and were happier when Dodger joined their small family, despite it being an unplanned pregnancy. From a young age, Dodger displayed a distaste for being categorized femininely and both of his parents were supportive of Dodger expressing himself in whatever way he preferred, which eventually extended to his social transition, followed by physical transitioning in his teens.
While both of his parents were supportive of him, the relationship between the two soured over the years. There were a multitude of reasons, not the least of which was marrying young, but the greatest factor was the way Dodger's mother grew to resent "marrying down" into the Scott family. A disappointment furthered by Dodger's closer relationship with his father and the small Scott family as a whole. And even though she agreed that learning lightning magic was the better choice, she was bitter about it. The divide between them worsened when Dodger's mother reconnected with her family shortly thereafter. By the time Dodger was 13, his parents were all but divorced.
Dodger inherited a love of magic, history, and learning from his father, and the two spent much of their days studying together for long hours. Dodger also spent a lot of his time travelling around with either of his parents, as both were fond of globe-trotting, although each for separate reasons. These trips were almost exclusively with one parent at a time, and Dodger always enjoyed the ones with his father more, as the ones with his mother were usually social trips.
When Dodger was 20, the Scott family expanded when Eliphas Scott adopted
Simon, however, it returned to its previous number only two years later when Dodger's father died in an accident. Dodger continued the rest of his magical training with Eliphas, where he was studied alongside his young cousin. Despite his grieving, Dodger greatly enjoyed having someone to study with and was happy to help his younger cousin when asked.
Not long after mastering lightning magic, Dodger started to learn spirit magic from his mother, which he was eager to learn. However, their relationship was not as good as it had once been and despite his enthusiasm it was not the day-to-day learning Dodger had spent on his lightning magic or other studies, especially as she continued to take social trips he no longer went on. Dodger took his own trips, as well, travelling to places of magical significance or with unique histories in pursuit of his interests. An academic at heart, he decided to take up teaching, primarily as a private or substitute teacher.
