Herman Láidir
{Father; Pure Blood; Ravenclaw}
Occupation: Co-owner of the Láidir Farms

Felicity Láidir
{Mother; Pure Blood; Slytherin}

Orendir Láidir
{Uncle; Pure Blood; Ravenclaw}
Occupation: Co-owner of the Láidir Farms

:: History ::
Lucinda grew up around animals - her family owns great swathes of Scottish highland and uses it breed all manner of creatures though Lucinda's ancestors first began using the land to train and breed Golden Snidgets (for their use in Quidditch). Lucinda is the only child - only heir (since her uncle has no children) - of the Láidir family and, as such, the family endeavour to bring out the confidence and independence required.

Lucinda rarely interacts with muggles, hikers occasionally wander onto their land but are soon directed away with wards and the illusion of dangerous ground. Her Father sometimes jokes about keeping them on the land but her mother is of the opinion "muggles need no help in breeding thank you very much!". Lucinda doesn't hate muggles but she does feel for them, as an able bodied person might if seeing someone who was missing limbs.

Personal Information

:: Pet ::
Wullie - A great horned owl

:: Wand ::
Holly wood with a phoenix feather core, 14 ½" and rigid flexibility (just did the quiz ^^)

Holly wood Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest. Holly is one of those woods that varies most dramatically in performance depending on the wand core, and it is a notoriously difficult wood to team with phoenix feather, as the wood's volatility conflicts strangely with the phoenix's detachment. In the unusual event of such a pairing finding its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way.

Phoenix Feather This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

:: Personality ::
Lucinda is outwardly confident though struggles to befriend people of her own age. At home she sits in on meetings, entertains visitors and wanders the family farm. She is content with her own company and this often leads her to alienate those of her own age. She is very fond of animals and will often prefer their company over that of any human. Wullie, her owl, is her favorite companion.

:: Habits | Oddities | Quirks ::
Burning things - intentionally or otherwise she is usually pleased when this is a result.

:: Likes ::
Fire.
Animals, magical or otherwise.
Open spaces and the outdoors.

:: Dislikes ::
Patronising adults
Confined spaces

:: Fears ::
Confined spaces
Disappointing her parents

:: Worth to Mention ::
Can fly a broom - they're often used in surveying the grounds - but associates the activity with long cold journeys looking for a wandering pixie.

Val, Vali

:: Gender ::
♀ Female

:: Date of Birth ::
20 July 2006

:: Blood Status ::
Half Blood

:: Appearance ::
Valentina has brown, long hair that has natural waves in them and goes almost down to the middle of her back. She usually likes to wear her hair open. Her hair is a little messy most of the time, hard to tame but she refuses to cut it nevertheless. She has white skin, which likes to turn pale rather soon if she neglects going out for some sunlight. Her eyes are piercing green, but they have the strange ability to appear brown or blue sometimes in a certain light. Valentina is of average height and body figure.

{Brother; 1 year, half blood}
Occupation: screaming the house down, pulling on hair

:: History ::
Valentina's mother Helenora was born and raised in the USA. She went to Ilvermorny school, sorted into Horned Serpent and followed her dream of becoming a potioneer. The woman met Quentin Roscoe, a former Hufflepuff from the United Kingdom school Hogwarts and an Unspeakable back in the day, when the man was in New York for some secret meetings with the MACUSA. They ran into each other several times during these few weeks of Quentin being in New York. They had gotten close, but Quentin had to leave for England again. As it comes though, he had another job overseas about a year and a half later and the universe guided them back together, stumbling into each other on the street. This time though, Helenora would not make the mistake again of letting the man leave without her. They fell in love head over heels and the witch went back to England with him, they married shortly after. It was a rushed decision, but one that they both never came to regret.

Valentina is the third born child out of four. Three girls and a not-planned-but-yet-so-super-loved boy. She grew up in a normal life. Quentin, having been very busy with his work as an Unspeakable, decided to quit that job when his first born daughter, Ramona, was about two years old. He opened up a tiny store "for all things fun, deary" in the Diagon Alley, called 'Jinx Me Not'.

Valentina grew up in the wizarding world, only sometimes getting to step out of it when Quentin (whose mother was a muggle) wanted to show his kids a little bit of "the other half of my world". So Valentina got to see a muggle zoo, eat muggle sweets, screamed at three-years when a phone rang in front of her and almost got run over by a car at five-years, because she just didn't listen to her father to not run off alone.

Other than her little steps into the muggle world, Valentina grew up like any other wizard kid in the wizarding world. And she certainly made some friends over the years.

:: Wand ::
Hornbeam wood with a Unicorn hair core, 10" in length and Surprisingly Swishy flexibility

Hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession (though I prefer the term ‘vision’), which will almost always be realised. Hornbeam wands adapt more quickly than almost any other to their owner’s style of magic, and will become so personalised, so quickly, that other people will find them extremely difficult to use even for the most simple of spells. Hornbeam wands likewise absorb their owner’s code of honour, whatever that might be, and will refuse to perform acts - whether for good or ill - that do not tally with their master’s principles. A particularly fine-tuned and sentient wand.

Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

:: Personality ::
Valentina is a very animal friendly person. She thinks that people who dislike animals in general are probably bad people. Though she never really thought of backing that theory up. The girl is friendly and tries to not use any violence, mostly because she knows she would lose a fight.

Vali has an adventurous side, she loves to experience new stuff and prefers 'learning by doing', which might not always be the best way. She is determined to achieve whatever she has put her mind to and will go to all lengths to make it.

:: Habits | Oddities | Quirks ::
None

:: Likes ::
Valentina is a curious person and likes to experience and learn new things. She has a fascination for most magical creatures and is excited for the subject 'Care of Magical Creatures', that will be electable in her third school year.

:: Dislikes ::
Valentina dislikes arrogant people, everyone who thinks they're something better than anyone else. She can't stand people being "disrespectful" towards books (ripping pages, putting dog-ears on edges, throwing them, spill something on them, ect).

:: Fears ::
Valentina is scared of failure. She wants to succeed and if she doesn't, it hits her self esteem hard. She fears to stand alone, with no friends, at some point.

:: Worth to Mention ::
She's talented on the broomstick, but never tried to play Quidditch.

General Information

:: Full Name ::
Falen Bridgette Tyler

:: Nicknames ::
Fal, Bridgette

:: Gender ::
♀ Female

:: Date of Birth ::
June 9th, 2006

:: Blood Status ::
Half-Blood

:: Appearance ::
Falen is a short girl, standing at just five feet, three inches tall. She has acne-free, caramel-colored skin and straight, perfectly white teeth. She is rarely seen without a smile. Her natural brown hair, when straightened, falls past her shoulders. When curly, however, it is shoulder length, neatly coiffuring to reveal a heart shaped face. In a way this made her more beautiful, as the deep brown hair complements her almond shaped eyes which are of a similar shade. Her eyes are without doubt the most captivating aspect of her appearance, reflecting a look of wisdom far beyond her age that can not help but draw people in. There are a few freckles spread charmingly across her cheeks and forehead, which she tends to cover up with foundation. Like her mother, she has a little curvy figure, and weighs in at about a hundred and forty pounds.

Though very beautiful, her grace, the way she carries herself, her attitude, and her enthusiasm all take precedence over her individual physical attributes. Everyday, Fal puts great effort in her appearance; her shirt is always crisp, her skirt is at a modest length, and not a thread is out of place. However, she loves to accessorize in any way possible, wanting to make the uniform her own. You'd usually see her with large hooped earrings, two or three rings on both her ring and pointer fingers, and a gold headband. When not wearing her uniform, you can expect to see her in a pair of jeans, a cute blouse, and sneakers.

Family Information

:: Family Members ::

Nicole Jones
{Mother; 44 years; Muggle}
Occupation: Cosmetologist

DJ Tyler
{Brother; 21 years; Squib}
Occupation: Med Student

:: History ::
Falen was born on June 9th, 2006 in Liverpool to Nicole Jones, a muggle woman from the Dominican Republic, and Darius Tyler, an African Pure-blood wizard who'd been born and raised in London. The two had met on a cruise ship when they were just sixteen years old, and instantly fell in love. Nicole had never even known that magic existed until she got to know Darius, and after a long, steady relationship together, they married. Darius's family, to say the least, were not pleased; they were angry at him for breaking the "pure" chain and allowing a muggle to taint the blood line. They were even more displeased when they heard that he'd impregnated her. Once Falen's elder brother was born just a few months later, Darius's family cut all ties with him, thoroughly disappointed in the young man. The happy couple moved on, completely unbothered, and had Falen a few years later.

Despite his unsupportive family, Darius and Nicole did their best to raise their children well. Nicole's mother and father welcomed Darius and the kids with open arms, eager to get to know the newest members of their family. Falen's mother got a job as a cosmetologist, and her father continued his work in the medical field. She grew up as an ordinary child; She took the train to and from school every weekday, attended church with her mother on Sundays, and made a few close friends along the way. Falen grew up without any knowledge of the wizard world, her parents choosing to ignore that part of her completely. Part of them even wanted to believe that she was born without powers, like her brother, which would make things a great deal easier. Unfortunately, they were not so lucky.

Since she was six, Falen has had a number of incidents which, at the time, didn't make much sense to her. It was always something small; items would end up disappearing from around the house and reappearing in strange places weeks later. They were forced to tell her who she really was, however, when she was seven years old. She'd gotten into a heated argument with her mother, which eventually led to a glass cup full of sweet tea flying across the room and towards her mother's face. She'd ducked out of the way, thankfully, but had much explaining to do. Ever since then, Fal has been taught by her parents everything there is to know about wizardry. She even got to go on a few trips with her father, where she was exposed to things she'd never before seen. She is now no stranger to muggle and magical inventions nor does she discriminate based on blood status. Unfortunately, however, a year later, her father was killed in a car accident, leaving she, her big brother, and her mother alone.

It came as no surprise when Fal received her Hogwarts letter. She'd heard many tales of the school from her father, a Slytherin alumni, and was eager to find out if they were actually true. Fal was overjoyed at the idea of learning more about herself and where her father comes from. She and her family know that she will excel both academically and socially.

:: Wand ::
Redwood wood with a phoenix feather core, 12 ¼" and brittle flexibility

Redwood Wood: Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner. As is usually the case with wandlore, the general populace have the truth back to front: redwood wands are not themselves lucky, but are strongly attracted to witches and wizards who already possess the admirable ability to fall on their feet, to make the right choice, to snatch advantage from catastrophe. The combination of such a witch or wizard with a redwood wand is always intriguing, and I generally expect to hear of exciting exploits when I send this special pairing out from my workshop.

Phoenix Core: This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalize, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

:: Personality ::
The very first word that pops into one's mind when thinking about Falen is determination, and the second, ambition. Everyone that knows Fal knows that whenever she puts her mind to something, it will get done, regardless of whatever obstacles she has to push through in order to do so. She is intelligent and very articulate, and her confidence is shown through her powerful mannerisms. She is generally friendly, unless you give her a reason not to be. While being confident in both herself and her actions, this is often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. She tends to keep to herself, though is not timid, and can sometimes be sarcastic and cold towards others. She is extremely dependable, however; If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist. Underneath the frustrated sighs and eye-rolls lies a person who's kind and caring at the core.

:: Habits | Oddities | Quirks ::

❖ Writes very neatly with her left hand, but does everything else with her right.
❖ Fluent in Spanish, and will sometimes switch to Spanish mid-sentence, usually to utter an insult.
❖ When nervous, tends to bite the inside of her cheeks.
❖ Hums to herself when focused.

:: Likes ::

✔ Music of any and every genre. Mostly R&B.
✔ Peace and quiet. Solitude. Alone time.
✔ Spicy foods.
✔ Any muggle sport besides golf.
✔ Physical activity/Staying in shape.
✔ Makeup. Heels. Accessories.
✔ Defense Against the Dark Arts

:: Dislikes ::

✘ Loud and overly-crowded spaces make her uncomfortable.
✘ Flying. She'd much rather keep her feet on the ground.
✘ Overly sugary foods.
✘ When extroverts get too comfortable around her. So much dialogue... so much useless information...
✘ Public humiliation.
✘ Sleeping in
✘ Large insects, especially those that fly.

:: Fears ::

❖ Heights
❖ Oblivion

:: Worth to Mention ::
She's a pretty good flyer and Quidditch player, thanks to her athleticism, but doesn't care too much for flying nor the actual game.

:: Date of Birth ::
12 June 2006

:: Blood Status ::
Half Blood

:: Appearance ::
Pearleane is a small girl with a very big personality. Her skin tone is a soft cream color. However, she can tan very easily, and often receives a more olive tone during the warmer seasons. Her skin tone is a big contrast to her dark features. Her hair is naturally black and her eyes are the darkest of browns so they appear almost black as well unless in the proper lighting. She adores fashion and tends to be risky with her attire in both color, pattern, and style. Her mother lets her wear makeup on special occasions and she most always choose bright red lips. She is still young and developing but has an older appearance to her than some of her other classmates.

:: History ::
"A young woman always has three things with her, do you know what those things are my darling?"
Pearleane looked up at her mother with her large almond shaped dark eyes.

"Is the first one candy?" the girl questioned, her tummy grumbling as she watched her mother cook up dinner that night.

A cackle came from the woman's lips, she wiped away her joyous tears as she shook her head at her only daughter,
"No, my darling. You must have class, ass, and sass."

Pearleane nodded, and repeated back to her mother with a small smirk,
"Class. Sass. Ass. Momma I got it- now when is dinner?"

The woman shook her head once more, "Not now my child, go play and I'll call you when it's done."

Pearleane was named after her grandmother on her very strictly pureblood mother's side. Her father (Frederick Pompaque) was a muggle and was only really around for Pearleane to be conceived. This may have gave Pearleane a bit of a prejudice against some muggles, but because of her kind and forgiving nature she tends to give everyone first and second chances. Pearleane's mother a pureblood (Claudia Wilhmer) with little to no help from her parents raised the girl, and taught her to be hardworking, dedicated, and patient, even when things are overwhelming. Before going to Hogwarts she lived in a small one bedroom apartment with her mother, and didn't have too many glamorous things. Most if not all of her school supplies are second hand to her mother's.

The young girl has a bit of a sweet tooth, and has often been known to keep various sweets and snacks in her bag. Though it has gotten her a few odd stares and name calling from some of the more fit peers, she makes friend's pretty easily. Her loyalty is true and steady; once you find friendship in her, you have a friend for life.

:: Wand ::

Rowan
Rowan wood has always been much-favoured for wands, because it is reputed to be more protective than any other, and in my experience renders all manner of defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break. It is commonly stated that no dark witch or wizard ever owned a rowan wand, and I cannot recall a single instance where one of my own rowan wands has gone on to do evil in the world. Rowan is most happily placed with the clear-headed and the pure-hearted, but this reputation for virtue ought not to fool anyone - these wands are the equal of any, often the better, and frequently out-perform others in duels.

Kneazle Whisker
Kneazle whiskers can be used in wand cores although they are said to make inferior wands when compared with other cores.

Personal Information

:: Pet ::
Siamese Cat

:: Wand ::
Ash. Dragon Heartstring. 11 inches . Swishy.

Ash The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Old superstitions regarding wands rarely bear close examination, but I find that the old rhyme regarding rowan, chestnut, ash and hazel wands (rowan gossips, chestnut drones, ash is stubborn, hazel moans) contains a small nugget of truth. Those witches and wizards best suited to ash wands are not, in my experience, lightly swayed from their beliefs or purposes. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who often insists on trying wands of this prestigious wood, will be disappointed by its effects. The ideal owner may be stubborn, and will certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant.

Core Name As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.

The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

:: Personality ::
A very headstrong girl who stands up for what she thinks is right, Charlie is a very approachable person. She's known to hold lots of peaceful rallies and speaks up for her different projects

The first thing you notice about Jonathan is before you even see him, his voice ringing in the air with his laughter says so many things about him that gives insight to his character. The voice connected to the person talking is exactly what you would expect, with him being an outgoing guy with expressive eyes and a smile or grin always glued onto his face. Comfortable having people around him, he has a good taste in fashion that is obvious when you see him that ties his look quite nicely for not only other people but himself as well. With not only his clothing being well put together but his hair being styled and general hygiene being maintained to look its best.

Born on the West Coast of the United States, Jonathan was a Californian raised on the beach with the sun generously poured on his childhood. That is where the majority of his father's childhood was, growing up with the state as he traveled to places within its borders and sharing many memories with people there. One of those people would end up to be his future wife, with them meeting by chance that ended up to being something more between the two of them. Together after several steady years of their relationship, they settled down with their occupations and began to set their roots in California with their investments. Buying a house and even having a child that would end up being an older sister to another one in years to come.

It was the perfect place for upbringing not only Jonathan but Heather as well with such diversity coming from both friends, family, and environment that immersed the two of them. Experiencing both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds from their two parents, no doubt it brought a very interesting childhood early on for them to separate the two lives they had from being revealed. Of course, he had the help of his sister to help him adjust to the concept of hiding secrets from his Muggle friends but at such a young age he worked it through his head.

Within the next ten years of his life learning and having a small taste of what the world had to offer, their family decided to suddenly uproot themselves from California. Not because they were fickle but his Mother's job had presented itself an interesting opportunity of going to Liverpool, England where she would be compensated for such a move and more possibilities open to her. Having a discussion about the move, it was solidified after several talks between his parents that had them moving to the United Kingdoms after packing and saying their goodbyes to everyone. Leaving Heather in the States, where she had already married and settled down with her husband with a solid job in the Wizarding World of America.

Their transition over was as quick one could expect, his Mother and her family all assisted in the move after all of the necessary formalities were taken care of when they found a place. Finding their new home in a nice two story house with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, it had a lot of room to enjoy and grow in for Jonathan along with whatever else may happen in the many years they would have there. It was definitely a new experience for both his father and Jonathan himself who both had experience with muggles and wizards of America, were unaccustomed to their new surroundings. The two of them adjusted to some degree as they got used to both the people and culture around them with twice as much work to handle both aspects of London that they were privy to.

{Sycamore // Phoenix Feather // 10 Inches // Surprisingly Swishy}

Sycamore Wood: The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored,’ and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods.

Phoenix Feather Core: This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalize, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

This build-up on Jonathan character only to be a let down would simply be devastating... Thankfully, it is more often that people hear his voice ringing through the air before even knowing him and the sociable qualities that he has. With such a thing telling them much more about him than what words could explain at once or clearly about his character. It is undeniable about his aloofness and charm that surrounds him that seems to pair along nicely with the energy that he seems to have that can be draining for some.

His talkative and outgoing nature feels natural, with him having a comfortable time talking to people even if they were strangers or acquaintances that he'd have something to say about. It can be said that he changes himself so that he resonates with his audience, making it a two way street of liking each other even if they are from different groups of niches. Giving him the penchant for involving himself in a variety of crowds that one would not expect him to ordinarily be in that comes from the groups of people that he knows. With his curiosity leading him places, with some of it comes from his particular side of him of being interested in understanding people and all of their intricacies.

:: ::
He likes to tuck in his shoelaces after tying them

Is uncommitical in his answers even if confidently sure

Wakes up early but goes to sleep late, he's a morning bird and night owl

Whenever he talks, he uses his hands to gesture a lot

:: ::
Jonathan is the kind of person who likes to experience new, there are many things that can affect his disposition such as if he can enjoy the moment with someone else or have fun doing so.

Things such as enjoying food with friends and family.

Listening to music and enjoying it.

Dancing with people

Shopping and looking for clothes in general.

The Rain.

The Concept of Magic.


:: ::
Extreme flavors in food whether it be way too hot, spicy, bitter, or whatever...

Obnoxious people for whatever he dislikes, whether they are rude or something else

Disappointing certain people that he looks up too, that is unacceptable to him...

:: ::
One could call Jonathan an overachiever, others a 'fake' who is afraid of failing the many goals he wants to achieve in life. With a deathly fear of not putting the dreams and expectations of those behind him to good use, which drags him in the mud should he fail them.

:: ::
Nothing for now...

Family Information

:: Family Members ::

Draven Garth
{Father; Pure Blood; Slytherin}
Occupation: Auror

Nevaeh Garth
{Mother; Pure Blood; Ravenclaw}
Occupation: Owner and Operator of "Charming Charms and Other Oddities" in Diagon Alley.

:: History ::
Melvus grew up in the New York city in the United States. He hasn't seen his mother much since she lives in the United Kingdom, running her charms shop. Though she would, every now and again, pay a visit when she had an afternoon free. This was until Draven was accepted by the Ministry to serve as an Auror. Draven had attended Hogwarts but moved away afterward. Now he was returning, no doubt in an attempt to have his son attend the school he and Nevaeh had.

Melvus had been taught charms by his mother from a young age. Every time she would visit, she would show him a new charm and explain its limitations and how it worked. This got Melvus extremely excited to one day take a charms class at Hogwarts, assuming he was accepted. Now it appeared that he had and he was rearing to go.

Personal Information

:: Pet ::
Richard -- Wirehair Cat

:: Wand ::
Yew Wood | Phoenix Feather | 11½" | Reasonably Supple

Yew Yew wands are among the rarer kinds, and their ideal matches are likewise unusual, and occasionally notorious. The wand of yew is reputed to endow its possessor with the power of life and death, which might, of course, be said of all wands; and yet yew retains a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in the spheres of duelling and all curses. However, it is untrue to say (as those unlearned in wandlore often do) that those who use yew wands are more likely to be attracted to the Dark Arts than another. The witch or wizard best suited to a yew wand might equally prove a fierce protector of others. Wands hewn from these most long-lived trees have been found in the possession of heroes quite as often as of villains. Where wizards have been buried with wands of yew, the wand generally sprouts into a tree guarding the dead owner’s grave. What is certain, in my experience, is that the yew wand never chooses either a mediocre or a timid owner.

Phoenix Feather This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

:: Personality ::
Melvus is the sort to get along with everyone because he can adapt to a situation and the individuals in it.
He's an intellectual who has always sought knowledge and understanding. While other children, in Wizarding America, were playing outside or getting their daily dose of television, he was attempting to learn. This isn't to say that he doesn't have fun - he's a child after all. However, he doesn't spend every waking moment of his childhood playing, he spends a fair amount learning.

More recently, his demeanor and voice are often distant and dreamy. He's the sort to just walk away from a boring conversation, non-dependent of who it is with. Melvus can often be found in some public, yet secluded,
place studying.

General Information

:: Full Name ::
Viola Rosaline Stratton
:: Nicknames ::
Vi
:: Gender ::
♀ Female

:: Date of Birth ::
17 August 2006

:: Blood Status ::
Muggleborn

:: Appearance ::
Her hair is naturally brown but she started dying it platinum blonde a little before she received her Hogwarts acceptance letter because she wanted to shake it up before going to a new school. She has blue eyes, one a tiny bit more grey than the other. She has a bit of a RBF which makes it a little difficult for her to make new friends.

Family Information

:: Family Members ::

Mary Brooks-Stratton
Mother, Muggle
Occupation: Primary school teacher

Marshal Stratton
Father, Muggle
Occupation: Works for the government

Kenneth Stratton
Brother, 20, Muggle
Occupation: Student at college overseas

Beatrice Stratton
Sister, 7, Muggle
Occupation: Student

:: History ::
She grew up with a pretty average family, though her parents tended to be a bit distant. She's close with her siblings and shared a bedroom with Beatrice until Kenneth moved out for college. Beatrice was the only one who knew about the weird stuff (aka her magic showing itself) that happened around Vi because of this. Vi always felt a little like the outsider in her group of friends. She did have a best friend who she was very close with, but this best friend moved away when Vi was ten and they drifted apart. She lived a very average life until getting her letter for Hogwarts, and she feels like her whole life has just been filler leading up to this point.

Personal Information

:: Pet ::
A long-eared owl named Nyx.

:: Wand ::
Cedar. Phoenix tail feather. 13 ¾’. Surprisingly swishy.

Cedar Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them.

:: Personality ::
Viola is very artistic and prides herself on being mature for her age. She likes to draw, sculpt, paint, cross-stitch, and do basically any other type of art, though she’s not very good at most of them. She’s naturally loud and very unapologetic about that. She also is obsessed with magic information and has been soaking up every bit of knowledge she can on the wizarding world ever since receiving her letter. She is very good at controlling her temper and likes to think through every option before making choices. This leads to her missing out on opportunities. She’s easily distracted and usually ignores more pressing matters to focus on something that caught her interest instead.

:: Habits | Oddities | Quirks ::
She chews pens and picks at her skin. She talks really fast and switches up letters a lot (ex: Yew Nork).

:: Likes ::
She really likes contemporary art and history. She loves to listen to and tell stories about anything. She’s a bit of a gossip and loves listening to her friends talk about their days.

:: Dislikes ::
She doesn’t like talking to people who she feels aren’t as intelligent as her. She hates being bored and sitting still for too long. She also doesn’t like the quiet.

:: Fears ::
Her biggest fear is purgatory and the unknown. She’s scared of having the people she loves turn on her. She has a weird fear of earwigs but is fine with other bugs.

:: Worth to Mention ::
Magic doesn’t come very naturally to her but she refuses to give up when faced with challenges.
