SPOILER!!: wand info

Also known as Mountain Ash, Rowan is highly-favoured with the reputation of being the most protective wand wood available, rendering defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break. Shielding magic and defensive wards will be particularly strong with this wood, and as a result a Rowan wand is a useful tool for duellists who favour a defence-based strategy. Rowan is capable of deflecting and repelling spells of the mind, and it is excellent for communication spells. It is often said that Rowan owners are prone to gossip. Rowan wands are best suited to the clear-minded and pure of heart, those with integrity who are tolerant towards the views and opinions of others. There has been no Rowan owner who has gone on to do evil, and it is a common belief that a Rowan wand has never been matched to a Dark Witch or Wizard. In general it is a suitable all-purpose wand for those who are inherently good and selfless.

Griffin claw cores often pair well with dexterous users, and those that are able to cast spells with finesse. Delicate wand movements feel natural with wands that feature this core. Protection spells and shields are some of the easier spell types to master with a core of this type. Wands with this core tend to be attracted to noble-hearted individuals, or those who feel they have something to prove, and are ill-suited to dark magic pursuits or nefarious endeavors. These are not easy wands to pass on to another, as it bonds very closely to its original owner.

{personality}

MBTI: ESFP
Character alignment: Neutral Good

Karleigh is outgoing, friendly, and just genuinely likes being around people. She engages in life eagerly and enjoys discovering new adventures. She tends to get caught up in the excitement of the moment, and wants everyone else to feel that way, too, as she is generous with her time and energy when it comes to encouraging others. She is quite chatty and really just wants to be everyone’s friend. She can also be sensitive to the emotions of others, happily providing emotional support and practical advice. However, when it comes to her own problems, she is more likely to avoid a conflict altogether than to address it head-on. She usually enjoys a little drama, but not so much when she is the focus of the criticisms it can bring. Because she is often focused on living in the moment, Karleigh can sometimes neglect her more boring responsibilities. She is also afraid of being too ordinary. Though she is exceptionally close to her family and feels a place of importance there, she longs to feel special and important to those outside her family as well.

{history}

Karleigh is the only child of Quidditch referee Aaron Creed and herbalist Elisabeth Creed. Though she is an only child, or maybe because of it, she is very close to her cousins, seeing them as pseudo-siblings. Her parents made sure to encourage this close-knit ideal, especially so she would not grow up lonely. While she is closest in age to her cousins Jane and Henry, she looks up to Darren like a big brother and thinks he is one of the smartest boys she knows. As the families are all close, they also take a yearly camping trip to Loch Ness every summer. It was here that Karleigh’s magic first manifested at age five when she accidentally lit the campfire before the adults could get to it. It was also here that she thought she caught her first glimpse of a unicorn at age four. Mesmerized by the flash of silvery white, she has longed to be close to unicorns ever since. She has been taking ballet lessons since age six, en pointe since age 14.
