SPOILER!!: Early Life

Marcel and Emilia Kowalski welcomed their second child and only son on 15th November 2084, but not everyone was so happy - two and a half years old, Maja was used to being an only child and wasn't overjoyed at sharing her parents (particularly her fathers) attention with a baby. As a result, she grew fairly jealous and started acting out, but this only lasted for about half a year, when she realised that her father remained tightly wrapped around her little finger.

Jó attended the same Wizarding Primary School as his sister, but was very unimpressed when his parents refused to let her attend Hogwarts - if it was safe enough for their cousins, then it was safe enough for him. So, in September 2093, his mission began: Convince Parents to Let Him Go to Hogwarts™.

His mission was a success and their parents agreed to let him start Hogwarts in September 2096, sending his sister along to "keep an eye on him", a statement he didn't sneer at as much as he wanted to. Telling his parents that he didn't need to be looked after and that he was perfectly fine going on his own brought the risk of an argument, and the chance that he wouldn't get to go at all, so he kept his mouth shut.

Ever since he could understand it, Józef was fascinated by Quidditch and dragged his parents to as many matches as he could. He began playing in recreational teams at the age of seven and dreams of becoming a famous keeper one day. Although he and Maja get along, his biggest influence is his older cousin, Flynn - Flynn is The Coolest Person To Ever Live (probably)™ and Józef spends a lot of his time trying to achieve said level of cool, often by mimicking things Flynn does, wearing sunglasses inside, and trying to contain the almost explosive levels of excitement he often feels.

During the summer before starting his first year, he planned his second mission: The Badge Heist™. Having ogled it from afar, he decided to steal his cousins Slytherin Prefect Badge - after all, it was going to be him some day, but why did he have to wait for the staff to give it to him in a few years?

He succeeded - on his last visit to see his cousin, it seemed that Flynn had put his badge onto Archie's fridge. How silly. How precarious. How unprotected. It almost seemed that Flynn had left it out in the open for Jó to steal.

How interesting.

personality type: ENFP-a the Campaigner
"The ENFP personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike Explorers, they are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd."
strengths: curious, energetic, enthusiastic, relaxed, friendly.
weaknesses: impatient, unobservant, unfocused, easily stressed.

wand details:

SPOILER!!: wand

{ 12 inch swishy Juniper with Hippogriff Feather }
WOOD: Juniper
Juniper is an aromatic, wood which varies pleasantly in colour from milky white, to deep reddish-brown with attractive swirling patterns in the grain. It is most attracted to honest and compassionate individuals, and well suited to healing spells, defensive magic and protection spells. An interesting characteristic of a wand fashioned from Juniper is that it is very rarely obtained by thievery or unsavoury means, and indeed will often find its way back to its owner if it is somehow misappropriated. It has commonly been said that, 'If you carry three juniper berries in your pocket you can travel the forest without fear, drink from the springs without harm, and ride the wind' and indeed many wandmakers believe Juniper as a wand wood carry these same characteristics. Juniper wands are able to purify water sources and free them from poison, and those who own a wand of this wood tend to be accomplished at apparition and flying.
CORE: Hippogriff Feather
"Easily offended, hippogriffs are. Don't never insult one, 'cause it might be the last thing yeh do."
Hippogriffs are intensely proud creatures, and an individual must show proper respect by bowing to them and waiting for them to bow in return before approaching. Eye contact should be maintained at all times without a single blink. The Hippogriff should be allowed to make the first move as it's polite. If offended, it may attack. Hippogriffs are tameable, but only by experts in their care. Although proud, they can also be fiercely loyal and protective of those who have earned their trust. Hippogriffs are noble animals with a reputation for not taking a slight. These wands require constant respect, and if the wielder does not give it, they can watch its formerly stable and versatile magic backfire on it. It is not the strongest core, but it is one of the most adaptable. These wands are most common amongst Gryffindors, but they are rare overall.
