Signalling Theory: Blue Coat by obaewankenope (rexthranduil), rexthranduil

Summary
Aposematism in animals is designed to prevent attack. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's ineffective against some predators, sometimes it isn't. As a primary defence mechanism, Newt is a colourful individual with his blue coat and golden hair. His secondary defences aren't visible however and often are what surprise his opponents the most. Bright creatures tend to be very toxic to predators, but mammals like honey badgers are aggressively defensive. Newt is a Hufflepuff and the emblem of his house suits him well. Signalling theory tells you that Newt warns off predators and opponents with his colours, but when they don't take heed he'll show his claws and fight tooth-and-nail. It's what survivors do.
And Newt Scamander is definitely a survivor.

Summary
Theseus was six when Newt was born, healthy and loud as any baby. He heard the mentions of the family curse, but thought nothing of it. He was eight when Newt changed. His baby brother went from speaking to silent, gazing out at the world in fear, cringing from lights and noise. His mother cried and his father had explained: The Weasleys had their hair, the Gaunts had their madness and the Scamanders had their changelings. Not every generation, but peppered through their line were those who weren't quite human. Some never spoke, others would talk at length about one thing but refuse the rest of the world. Some would only eat one meal. No one knew how this new Newt would behave, what he would become. Theseus didn't care. Newt was still his brother.
