It is a curious feature of the blackthorn bush, which sports wicked thorns,<br/>that it produces its sweetest berries after the hardest frosts, and the wands made from this wood appear to need to pass through danger or hardship with their owners<br/>to become truly bonded. Given this condition, the blackthorn wand will become as loyal and faithful a servant as one could wish.<br/><br/><strong><em>Length:</em></strong> A fairly average length of wand, not at all uncommon or very special<br/><strong><em>style: </em></strong>The knot’s of this wands original wood remain clearly visible, earthy this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature<br/><strong><em>Flexibility: </em></strong>Unyielding which takes a special skill and determination to master but once mastered its spells leave an unforgettable impression.<br/><br/><br/><strong><em>Thunderbird Feather</em></strong><br/>The tail feather of the Thunderbird was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Shikoba Wolfe. Wolfe's wands were powerful but difficult to master,<br/>and were good for transfiguration work. Wands with Thunderbird tail feather cores, like the birds the feathers are taken from, are able to sense danger and can<br/>cast curses on their own.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Rooney Mara<br/><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 1.6m / 55kg<br/><strong>Hair Color</strong>: black<br/><strong>Eyes</strong>: blue<br/><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:<em> piercings</em>in both ears /  right lower lip / right eyebrow<br/><em>tattoos </em>- tribal around upper right arm and lower left ankle / mandala on her neck (right side) / horn-tailed dragon on her back<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation </strong>: bisexual no heavy leanings for any gender<br/><br/><strong>Home</strong>: 37 The Pines, Storrick Borough, Kent, East London - 4 bedroom detached house in a small estate<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>:<br/><em>positive traits:</em>self-control / spirited / determined / truthful / strong willed /<br/><em>negative traits:</em>stubborn / destructive / impatient<br/><br/>Vega has exceptional attention to detail and excellent observational skills.<br/>She has great recall and an excellent long term memory.<br/>She is non-judgemental and often questions what others deem as normal.<br/>She was diagnosed at five years of age with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified which basically meant she ticked a lot of the Asperger boxes but did not fulfil all the criteria.<br/><br/><strong>Family</strong>:<br/><em>mother:</em>Daphne Vector; muggle - nurse<br/><em>relationship:</em>strained<br/><br/><em>father:</em>George Sutton; muggle - owner of Sutton's Real Estate company<br/><em>relationship:</em>strained<br/><br/><em>siblings:</em>Tamara - deceased<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>History</strong>:<br/>Vega is categorized as a troubled-teen, her parents knew from an early age that something was not quite right with her and it was only Vega's older sister Tamara that could calm Vega when she had a meltdown. Loud noises troubled her greatly and she preferred being by herself or with her sister. When strange things began to happen when Vega was around, her father sent her to be assessed by a trained child psychologist. With the new age for Hogwarts having been shifted, it meant that no one was there to guide Vega and her magic seemed to pour out of her constantly. When things were not orderly, structured or in a routine that she liked, Vega became upset and as a result furniture began to move or the lights would flicker on and off. Her mother who was religious began to think they had a poltergeist.<br/><br/>When Vega was thirteen, her sister Tamara (16) went missing later becoming one of three girls that had been murdered by the muggle Darren Leadway. The sociopath admitted to doing it because he could but during the three weeks that Tamara was missing; Vega became distraught. Her magic almost exploded from her. The Ministry of Magic at that point sent a warden from the Magical Accidents and Catastrophes office and one from the Underage Misuse of Magic office to speak with her family and herself to explain what was happening. Having already been diagnosed with a mild form of Asperger’s since she was 5 years old, her parents thought that this was just too much to bear especially on top of Tamara being missing as well.<br/><br/>When her sister's body was found, Vega shut down. She stopped dressing in neat coordinated clothing that any respectable mother would have been proud of and instead over time began to dye her already black hair darker. She began wearing bizarre dark clothing which her parents said was a gothic or grunge phase. They genuinely didn't care how she dressed because the bizarre magical outburst moments had stopped. Vega was retreated in to herself, becoming almost a control freak. Her parents she knew were going through enough and all three would never get over the loss of Tamara.<br/><br/>By fifteen Vega was smoking, drinking and getting into fights about her borough. Her parents taught it best to have her get some self-defence lessons which she took and through it made a very small circle of acquaintances. She told them nothing of her life and never mentioned her last name, never wanting anyone to mention Darren Leadway or the Maidstone murders as it was now known as. She was taught at school by a special needs tutor and was exceptional in all her subjects. She knew however that come her seventeenth birthday, the magic people would return with the letter for the magic school they had mentioned. Until then she stayed under the radar missing her sister and wondering how her life could be so messed up.<br/><br/><strong>Likes</strong>: organization / routines / meals on time or not at all / water she could drink galleons of the stuff / smoking - her biggest crutch / muggle devices<br/><strong>Dislikes</strong>: hangovers / loud people / loud places / not being able to bring her ipad, iphone or laptop with her to Hogwarts / having to learn how to use a quill / Darren Leadway / anyone recognising her from the articles written about her sister's murder.<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Taking a punch to the stomach in her defense classes and sucking it up, parrying the punch and remaining standing afterwards.<br/><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: The notoriety that swamped her family after her sister's murder / knowing she is supposed to be some magic person and yet could not use it to save her sister<br/><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>see above<br/><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong>smoking / drinking / observing<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/72/CailleachVega4.jpg) ...
