SPOILER!!: wand info

A highly-prized and beautiful wood, Cherry makes for a surprisingly lethal wand. Self-control and a strong will are a must for the wielder of Cherry, particularly if the core is dragon heartstring. Additionally Cherry is excellent for healing spells, binding spells and divination. It holds a feminine and intuitive energy and an affinity for the earth element, and therefore herbology enthusiasts may find Cherry a suitable wand. Cherry will help keep its bearer 'down to Earth' providing their nature is one suited to such a powerful and varied wood.

Known as a rare core, Phoenix feathers are capable of a great range of magic, though they tend to take a while to master. Wands with Phoenix feather cores have great initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, which is not an agreeable trait for all witches and wizards. They make a picky wand as the phoenix itself is particularly independent and detached. Their allegiance is hard won and a wand with this core is difficult to tame. They are a powerful core and versatile, though Defense Against the Dark Arts as a subject tends to come easiest and hexes and jinxes are often the easiest spell-type to master.

{personality and background}

MBTI: INTP
Character alignment: chaotic good

The oldest of two children born to Ashe and Raena Marchbanks, Phoenix has had a relatively normal, wizarding childhood. He went to St. Woboldo's Magical Primary School before attending Hogwarts where he was sorted into Ravenclaw. Phoenix is quietly opinionated and intensely curious. On the outside, he may seem lost in a perpetual daydream as he mind is constantly working, making him at times appear detached or reserved. But that is because his mind is overflowing with ideas and he is not unfriendly, but is eager to make connections with like-minded people or those who can challenge him intellectually. He enjoys puzzles and strategy games such as chess and gobstones.
