Dana had his hand on another compartment’s door(this one with someone closer to his age in it) when Michelle called out to him.
“Oh, uh, well,” he teetered for a moment, his hand still on the door. “I might, only I am looking for my brother, you know. He’s two years older, I’ve nearly searched the whole, train, I’m sure I’ll run into him…” he was opening the door now, to see if Jax could be found in the corner of the compartment, where Dana couldn’t see from the window. When the door opened, a striped cat pounced out, attacking a loose carpet string. Dana stared down at him, then looked into the room’s occupant. “Sorry! I’ll just grab him…” he bent down, and the owl he kept in the cage flapped his wings indignantly, startling the cat. The cat ran down the aisle, into the next car.
Appearance: Hair: Light brown, straight. He dislikes getting a haircut, and as of the start of the year it falls over his ears. Eyes: Light gray Complexion: Pale, a little freckly around the nose Height: 5'4 Weight: 130
Blood Status: Half Blood
Personality: When he moves, he does so with great surety, but it often takes him a long period of deliberation. He's slow to act, and seems a little nervous about making decisions. It's not until the decision making is over that his nervous demeanor drops. Sometimes, quite unwisely some would say, he'll let someone else dictate what course of action is best, or else "leave it up to fate." Once a path is chosen, he'll stick with it, it's the choosing that he has trouble with. Has a good soul, and likes to lend a hand. Is intensely loyal to Jackson, his older brother.
Wand:
Spruce: It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. The spruce wand requires a firm hand, because it often appears to have its own ideas about what magic it ought to be called upon to produce. However, when a spruce wand meets its match - which, in my experience, is a bold spell-caster with a good sense of humour - it becomes a superb helper, intensely loyal to their owners and capable of producing particularly flamboyant and dramatic effects.
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.
