Born in Moscow, Russia, Dimitrius lived a life surrounded by the arts and culture mixes of both his parents. His father is a no nonsense Russian man who wouldn't take no for an answer, while his mother is a more docile Scottish lass who has a tongue of fire and is not afraid to use it. Despite all their differences, however, Bo and Aery were the perfect pair. Neither one bent over backward for the other, but brought their own strengths and faults to the table. Dimitrius' parents had met in Scotland, where Aery was born and raised, but had moved to Russia so Bo could pursue his career of violin making.

As such, Dimitrius was taught to play from a very young age by his father who considered himself a concerto of high musical origin. You wouldn't find Dimitri agreeing to readily, but he learned all he could. When he surpassed Bo, they procured him a tutor who continued to teach him all he could learn about the violin. Life was simple, except for the odd quirks here and there where things seemed...out of the ordinary. A falling plate from the table when nobody else was in the room if Dimitri happened to get mad, a dead flower coming to life when Dimitrius wanted something to make him happy. They were ignored and passed off as odd occurrences in the every day life.

When Dimitri was eight, his younger brother Hawke was born to the family. Hawke took their father's hair and eye color of black and green, while Dimitri had been blessed with the brown and blue of their mother. Dimitrius was ecstatic to have a younger sibling, and he took to doing the little tricks for Hawke whenever their parents weren't around. Dimitri found that if he concentrated enough, he could lift things with his hands - without touching them. However, he had to either be really angry or really happy to do so. Hawke's presence was enough to ensure the boy was happy for days to come.

And then the witch came. The one who had to sit the Starikov family down to explain just what Dimitrius was - and that magic was real. The boy believed the woman from the beginning, but his parents were more skeptical. She finally had to do magic herself in order to prove her point. After much debate, the Starikov family packed up and moved to Iverness, where Dimitrius' mother had grown up as a girl. She was happy to be back in her homeland and was eager to develop her Scottish accent back, and Dimitri attended Hogwarts happily from year one.
