#Bryn Blackthorn

[thefruitpatchfriends]

Blacken The Thorns

Name: Bryn Blackthorn

Bryn is a tall, lean figure with tousled black hair that falls just past his shoulders, reminiscent of the tangled vines of a blackberry bush. His skin is a warm olive tone, with faint freckles across his nose and cheeks like tiny seeds scattered upon the earth. His eyes are a deep, rich brown, reflecting the earthy hues of the forest floor where blackberries thrive. He often wears dark clothing, favoring shades of black and deep purple that echo the colors of ripe blackberries.

Bryn possesses a complex personality akin to the multifaceted flavors of blackberries. He is both sweet and tart, with a mysterious allure that draws others in. Like the thorns that protect blackberry bushes, he can be fiercely protective of those he cares about, but he also harbors a hidden vulnerability beneath his tough exterior. Bryn is adventurous and independent, preferring the solitude of nature to the hustle and bustle of city life. He is resourceful and cunning, often finding creative solutions to the challenges he faces.

Bryn grew up in a small, secluded village nestled deep within a dense forest. From a young age, he developed a deep connection to the natural world, spending hours exploring the woods and foraging for wild berries. His affinity for blackberries earned him the nickname "Blackthorn" among the villagers, a moniker he embraced with pride. As he grew older, Bryn honed his skills as a hunter and tracker, using his knowledge of the forest to survive and thrive in the wilderness.

Bryn possesses an innate connection to nature, allowing him to communicate with animals and navigate the wilderness with ease.

He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing his agility and speed to outmaneuver opponents.

Bryn is a master of stealth, able to move silently through the forest like a shadow.

He has a keen intellect and is skilled in herbalism, using his knowledge of plants to concoct potions and remedies.

Bryn's most unique ability is his power to manipulate thorns, shaping them into weapons or using them to ensnare his enemies.

Driven by a desire to protect the natural world and those he loves, Bryn embarks on a quest to thwart those who seek to exploit and destroy the forest. He is determined to preserve the balance of nature and ensure that future generations can enjoy the beauty and abundance of the wilderness. Along the way, he faces numerous challenges and adversaries, but with his unwavering resolve and connection to the land, he remains steadfast in his mission.

Kaidan: Ugh. Remind me why we had to come down here again?

Merlyn: I can't just abandon the Guild, Kai. Gotta make sure it isn't falling apart at the seams with us gone.

Brynjolf: Ah, hey there, lass. Welcome home.

Merlyn: Hello, Gobshite. Hardly a home, I'd much prefer being back in Blackthorn.

Brynjolf: ... What did you just call me?

Merlyn: Hm?

Kaidan: Oh my gods. Hahaha!

Merlyn: What? What did I say?

Brynjolf: You just called me 'Gobshite'.

Merlyn: Oh fuck, did I? I'm sorry, Kaidan calls you that so much it's gotten stuck in my head, Bryn.

Brynjolf: Not exactly the best influence on you, aye lass?

Kaidan: And what exactly is that supposed to mean?

Merlyn: HO-KAY! We are leaving right now before you two idiots get into another fight. Last time Kaidan reeked of sewage for weeks.

Extended credits for Museum at Tomorrow episode 5

Below the cut are all of the folks who I used (and asked to be credited) for recordings in Museum at Tomorrow episode 5- specifically, the "This is not for You" recordings.

(The list was too long for podcast episode descriptions)

These recordings were mixed into the soundscape of the show, heavily processed- so you may or may not be able to pick out your voice. Each unique recording is preserved as rhythem, timber, and shape within the episode.

Thank you for your work in creating the canvas of this piece.

[draconscious]

Getting Clair gofts started as just a thing to be a menace. It was always some sort of genuine, but Shay being soft wasn't a spoken about thing. It felt appropriate to bring her Dragonite, Bryn, with her today. She was the Dratini she earned from the tests years ago.

The Dragonite gave Clair a huge smile and handed her a box. Inside was a handful of things, including: a tea infused aromatic Goomy plush, a Paldean tea mix set, and a small book with mild water damage around the edge of the pages. A small field guide on Frigibax, Arctibax and Baxcalibur that Shay had personally written (and mildly chewed on by the subjects in question).

"You know what day it is." Being nice, her worst executed skill. "Bryn was very excited to see you. The other dragons wanted to say hi, but I don't feel like seeing the elders offended by my dragon taming skills. Unless you wanted to come to the Sanctuary and say hi."

happy birthday, clair.

At first, Clair regards Shay with some trepidation--the two had been at each other's throats a fair amount as of late--but Bryn is quick to dispel any tension between them, her smile and offered gift reinforcing her role as peacekeeper for this encounter.

"Today's just like any other day, I just--oh, wow."

Clair swallows her own retort as she peers inside Shay's gift box, eyes widening upon taking in the sight of its thoughtful contents. The tamer holds up one item at a time to the Blackthorn sunlight (pausing to squeeze the scented Goomy plush with a happy sigh, of course.) The value of the other Paldean goods is not lost on Clair, and she glances up at Shay with a rare, sheepish embarrassment tinging her cheeks.

"Shay, this...this is all so thoughtful. Unexpected, but appreciated," she decrees, a small smile finding her lips. "Thank you. You too, Bryn, for making sure that she didn't pick any fights along the way." (Clair can't resist a little poke at her fellow dragon tamer--it's just instinctual at this point.)

"...And you know, I think I will stop by the Sanctuary later, if you'll have me. It's been a while, and I've been meaning to talk to you about your Paldea trip," Clair offers lightly, eyes twinkling as she peers up at Bryn. "I'm sure Greatheart would love to come along for some enrichment in the open air. He's been missing your dragons terribly."

FAMILY

Father: Levi Evan Teague

Born on November 1st 1928 to Herpo and Morgana Teague and raised in his childhood home (nicknamed Nightwood Hall) in St. Ives. 

His mother died of Dragonpox when he was four and was left with his father and older sister Diana, who was 15 at the time.

Levi was the only surviving child besides his sister due to genetic disorders from inbreeding. He would have had two older brothers and three younger sisters.

His childhood was cold, dark, and utterly forbidding. 

Levi was sorted into Slytherin where he met Circe Prewett. He played Beater on the Slytherin Qudditch team and was infamous for sending beaters into the crowded stands.

His sister Diana went missing in 1941 while in London and turned up dead after being caught in the blitz. Levi was upset by the death, as they were close. Levi also blamed his father as he was the one that sent her to London and their relationship was strained after that.

After graduation and his marriage to Circe, he helped his ailing father manage his estate and inherited after he died.

He and Circe had Dmitri and Demeter in 1960 after many miscarriages and Kit in 1972.

They joined Voldemort in 1970 and Levi was killed in the summer of 1978 after breaking into Rubin’s home. She beat him to death with a poker.

Faceclaim: Charlton Heston.

Mother: Circe Alise Teague (Nee Prewett).

Born on April 3rd, 1928 in Nottingham, England to Frank and Sally Prewett.

She displayed some very concerning behaviors in childhood, such as setting fires and tormenting animals/creatures. Even when Circe was an adult, little Molly Weasley (Then Molly Prewett) was warned to never go anywhere alone with her or her husband.

Circe was sorted into Ravenclaw and met Levi Teague. She was an admirer of Tom Riddle and would bully younger students, especially muggleborns.

Circe was not a good mother and was prone to using curses as discipline along with her husband. She was the one who put Dmitri under the Imperius Curse after he attempted to run away.

She and Levi joined Tom in 1970 and participated in many crimes against muggles and muggleborns. Dmitri was sometimes made to join them but this was largely discouraged as he was very young.

Circe was captured while at home in 1978 and sent to Azkaban. 

Faceclaim: Kirsten Dunst

Older Brother: Dmitri Alexander Teague

Born on Febuary 3rd, 1960, five minutes younger than his sister Demeter.

Currently hospitalized by St. Mungo’s due to trauma and the lingering effects of the Imperious Curse. Lives in a residential home owned by the hospital with his twin sister Demeter.

He’s a very gentle person and is usually a little confused even on good days.

Was tutored at home due to his runaway attempts at the age of ten.

Kit visits him often and he’s very protective of his older brother. Dmitri likes seeing him.

Faceclaim: Young Jude Law.

Sister: Demeter Nessa Teague

Five minutes older than Dmitri.

Demeter is highly intelligent, comes off as strange, and is possibly a psychopath, she has no official diagnoses. She is aware of it to an extent and checks with others (nurses, family, etc.) to be sure she is acting correctly or understanding emotions the right way.

Her parents had her committed to St. Mungo’s after she tried to burn down the family home (because they were hurting Kit) and was testing spells on herself. Was sorted into Ravenclaw before this.

Writes books on dark charms and spells, considered an expert in the subject. She’s not allowed a quill (no one is at the homes) but has a typewriter.

Demeter lives with her brother in a residential home owned by the hospital 

She’s glad Circe is in jail and that Levi is dead. 

Kit loves her very much and enjoys talking with her. Demeter is very fond of her littlest brother and uses him as her moral compass.

Faceclaim: Dita Von Teese.

Guardian: Rubin Agda Orn

Adopted Kit in 1979 but was not allowed to change his surname due to Barty Crouch’s concerns about Kit being a bad seed. Rubin also has legal custody of Dmitri and Demeter.

She encouraged Kit to learn Cornish and to speak Parseltongue as she sees language as being a key part of people’s identity’s.

Rubin loves Kit very much and Kit sees her as his mom.

Aunts/Uncles: Bryn, Sean, and Hecate Ames. Also Evangeline.

He’s very close with everyone but especially Sean and Hecate.

Kit sees Bryn as being an older brother.

Being around Evangeline is very awkward at first but he gets used to her the fastest out of everyone in the family (besides Rubin, who expects Henry to leave litters of children around).

Pets: Arthur the garter snake and Snufkin the cat.

Kit meets her in his second year after she comes to visit Penny from Beauxbatons. They quickly became friends and started writing to each other.

They’re very comfortable around each other and talk about the strangest things.

Aurelie comes to visit Penny every Spring Holiday and then every summer. She always spent a few days with Kit and “his charming mother.”

Rubin has no idea what to make of this at all but if Kit is happy, she’s happy.

Kit is asexual and dumb and Aurelie is demisexual and dumb, so it took them four years to decide to get together as a couple (at the end of Kit’s 6th year) and then several more years to decide to get married (June 30th 1999).

They adopt twins (a boy and a girl) and have a set of twins.

Description: Kit tries to give off a very calm, laid back, vibe and is known as a very kind person. He doesn’t back down if he thinks something is wrong, to the point where it can be a bit dangerous. He tends to be nervous, he still does what needs doing, but it doesn’t make him any less anxious. 

MBTI Description: “Protagonists tend to be vocal about their values, including authenticity and altruism. When something strikes them as unjust or wrong, they speak up. But they rarely come across as brash or pushy, as their sensitivity and insight guide them to speak in ways that resonate with others.”

HISTORY & BACKGROUND

Pre-Hogwarts Childhood:

Kit’s early childhood was terrifying and he often would go to his older sister Demeter for comfort rather than his own mother, who wasn’t very nurturing and was often cruel to him. His father largely ignored him.

Demeter was committed in 1976 after setting the house on fire while her mother was ‘punishing’ Kit for an imagined slight. This was the last straw in a long line of dangerous behaviors.

Additionally, Demeter’s parents feared for their lives after she threatened to seal them in their room with a sticking charm “The Next Time.”

Death Eaters were in and out of the house and Kit was afraid of most of them but especially Bellatrix. He didn’t mind Snape as much, he brought him licorice wands and a blue and white toy cat.

His mother was arrested for the use of an Unforgivable on a child, Murder, and other offenses in 1978 after Dmitri was captured and released from the Imperius Curse. Rubin took Kit in after she found him hiding under his bed with his stuffed cat Marbles.

Levi evaded arrest and tried to break into Rubin’s home to reclaim Kit in November of 1978. He died violently.

Rubin officially adopted Kit in 1979 when he was 7 years old and gained custody of Demeter and Dmitri in 1981.

Hogwarts Years:

Trying to google everything would only frustrate me and waste my time, so I’m not going into detail.

Becomes a prefect in his fourth year.

Kit helps with the Vaults where he can and is usually the first to head into a dangerous situation (like Knockturn Alley for example).

Second Wizarding War:

Forced to go into hiding during the war due to his adoption by Rubin and his connection to his mother. Spent most of his time on the Isle of Man as death eater influence wasn’t as strong there.

He worked on a ‘fishing boat’ owned by a half blood wizard named Jonah Scott and crewed by other witches and wizards. The boat was a cover and they smuggled many muggleborns, werewolves, vampires, and squibs out of the country.

Adulthood:

Kit went back to work as a Cursebreaker after the Battle of Hogwarts and continued dating Aurelie.

They got married in 1999 in a large wedding with all their friends and family. 

Kit continues cursebreaking and starts taking Sebastian with him during the summers when his son reaches his mid teens. Sebastian starts working with him full time after graduation.

Gains custody of Dmitri and Demeter after Rubin’s death in 2026 at 81 (died of heart failure). Dmitri dies at 99 years old from a brain tumor (probably caused by the Imperious Curse though this is never proven) and Demeter dies at 120. They both spend their final years living with Kit and Aurelie.

Kit retires and passes the business on to Sebastian and his grandchildren. He then writes books up until the day of his death.

Death:

Kit dies in his sleep at the age of 129. Aurelie dies two years after him. They were survived by their four children, nine grandchildren, and twenty great-grandchildren.

MISCELLANEOUS

Kit is very good with children and the younger kids like bringing him rocks and making him gifts as tokens.

He has a bunch of unopened letters from his mother Circe that Rubin saved for him. He only ever reads two and burns the rest.

Kit doesn’t care for Quidditch and instead enjoys watching muggle sports,  his favorite being football (soccer).

He enjoys dark fantasy films and children’s fantasy films like The Black Cauldron and the Dark Crystal.

Keeps his toy cat Marbles in his dorm and treasures him. It’s the only reason Kit doesn’t completely hate Snape.

for the prompt thing: kit and ty angst 16?

"It's just a nightmare. I've got you"

Kit stepped through the portal Tessa had made and made his way from Devon to LA. He'd already said his goodbyes to his new family and had really struggled saying it to Mina, but he'd promised to facetime them everyday to check in on his little sister which helped, as well as a promise of a present. He stepped out into the back garden and was immediately surrounded by Blackthorn's which always surprised him whenever he came.

Having left LA it had taken him three years to come back. Julian and Emma had come to visit on their travel year but that had been it. It had been a set of circumstances that had brought him back two years previously and he still felt like he had a lot of making up to do with the ever growing family. Helen and Aline formally greeted him as the heads of the Institute with their adopted daughter Jasmine who excitedly clapped and spat bubbles. Their other adopted child, a boy called Bryn was no where to be seen. Kit suspected he was off causing havoc the same way Mina did given they were the same age.

Mark and Cristina were next, apologising for Kieran's absence but promised he'd visit. Ever since Kieran had found out Kit was a distant relative he'd really made the effort with him and they found they had a lot in common. Cristina's bump made it had for a proper hug but they managed and Mark definitely made up for it. Julian clapped him on the back and said it was good to see him again but not before he and Emma had completed the handshake they had created when he'd first returned. Dru just handed him a list of "shit he needed to teach her" and he nodded in return.

Tavvy, it was explained was away with the Lightwood-Banes but had left a letter in his place. Then Kit's eyes fell on Ty. His beautiful Ty whom he got to call his boyfriend, something he was still processing despite how long they had been together. The rest of the day passed in a blur of catching up, eating and Kit entertaining two small children with what he'd learnt from having a sister. Before he knew it, he was able to crawl into bed next to Ty and finally feel him close to him.

***

Images filled Kit's head that he'd rather have kept forgetten. His Dad being ripped apart by a Demon. Livvy's body at her funeral. They filled his mind and filled his head and just wouldn't leave. Every time he thought he'd gotten the nightmares under control they'd come back. He didn't even realize he'd cried out in his sleep until he felt something holding him and saying his name. He opened his eyes and looked around to see a pair of gray eyes looking back at him. "It's just a nightmare. I've got you" was all Ty said as he felt Kit close to him. Kit's heart was still banging in his chest but he could feel himself calming down.

"I'm sorry" he mumbled when he felt like he was better. Ty chuckled. "I think England has finally gotten to you if you're saying that when you've got nothing to be sorry for" which, despite himself, made Kit smile.

***hope you like it and I'm sorry it's not very angsty***

In Line of Duty Season Six Episode Four, directed by Gareth Bryn, AC-12 finds a possible witness; former wealthy solicitor Jimmy Lakewell was imprisoned in Season Four.

Episode Four begins with Jo telling her team that she is now the Acting Detective Superintendent for Operation Lighthouse. The team will go back to square one since they now know Gail was robbed.

After the briefing, Jo gives Kate the go-ahead to look into the armed weapons used in Gail’s murder and the armed robbery.

Kate and Ted secretly meet to talk about Ryan. He wants to pull Ryan into AC-12 because he’s dangerous. However, Kate doesn’t think AC-12 will get anything out of the calm and collected constable. Instead, she thinks Ted should monitor Ryan to see if they can track down the institutional police corruption that put a former delinquent in a place of authority.

Chloe, Steve, and Ted interrogate Ian about police corruption. Ian acts squirrely during the interview. He calls himself the victim even though he slept with Deborah then dropped the assault charges against her. Ted calls him a “decision dodger.” Ian takes no responsibility for Operation Lighthouse. Not even for ignoring other possible revenues of investigation. Ian gets charged after saying he doesn’t know anything.

DCC Andrea tells Ted that since he refuses to play politics, they are forcing him into retirement. He will get his full pension, but she will dismantle his team. So Ted has one more month in AC-12.

Chris and Kate figure out that the cartridge and bullets found at Gail’s murder site were from a non-registered “workshopped” gun, meaning homemade. But none of the weapons from the armed robbery of the bookie shop were workshopped.

Kate and Chris interrogate one of the robbers they arrested Jake Kilorgan. Jake tells them that they were given guns in a crate in front of the “workshop.” None of the robbers took any of the homemade guns. Jake doesn’t know where the unlicensed firearms are.

Chloe and Steve find out that the forensic team located a lot of DNA material and prints. So, if Jo was at Farida’s flat, forensics will identify her. Jo watches Steve and Chloe talk from the bushes.

The surveillance team has been tracking Ryan’s movements. Ryan has been following Jo around. Kate wants to warn Jo, but Ted says she shouldn’t. Jo could still be the leak to Organized Crime. Later, Amanda updates Steve and Chloe about how cybercrime found an audio recording from Gail’s devices at work.

Chloe, Ted, and Steve listen to the interview recording from her work laptop. Gail’s subject talks about how the authorities covered up police shootings in Operation Trapdoor and about another case involving racism. Steve recognizes the interviewee’s voice belongs to Jimmy when he says, “Balaclava Man.”

Kate talks to Jo alone about how Ryan has been spying on her. She lies, telling Jo that she saw Ryan at the pub where they met several times. Jo doesn’t say anything but rubs Kate’s arm.

Jo calls Ryan into her office. The acting D.S. tells Ryan that she will be submitting the paperwork for his commendation but will order his transfer to a different department. Ryan stares intently at Jo without smiling, but then he thanks her and leaves. Their conversation is charged with double meanings.

Chloe and Steve talk to Jimmy at the Blackthorn Men’s Prison. At first, Jimmy denies speaking to Gail, but under pressure, the former solicitor relents. Steve and Chloe ask him about the “racist” case he was talking to Gail about. Again, Jimmy refuses to answer, implying that he is worried about safety because of corrupt correctional officers.

Chloe and Steve share with Ted that Jimmy won’t open up because the prison staff is in cahoots with Organized Crime. They all know Farida was silenced inside the jail. Steve tells Ted he has a plan.

Later, a Firearms Unit drives three vans up to Blackthorn. One is a large white van, and the other two are smaller black vans. When they arrive, Steve steps into the back of the white van. A few minutes later, he pulls a handcuffed, confused Jimmy inside. Steve orders all the vans to head out. The van’s sirens ring as they rush out of prison. Steve tells Jimmy that if he testifies today at AC-12, he will get immunity and a new life.

The two men argue back in forth about Jimmy’s willingness to talk to the police because prison doesn’t fit his former “high life.” Steve thinks he was testing the waters when he spoke to Gail. However, Jimmy seems to tell Steve about the mysterious police corruption case that got Gail murdered off the record.

In another van, Chloe notices a Range Rover following the police envoy. PS Ruby Jones checks the vehicle’s registration. Suddenly another Range Rover pulls up in front of the envoy. Gangsters attack them from all sides. During the fight, a sniper shoots Ruby in the head. Thankfully everybody else survives.

Back at AC-12, Jimmy, terrified of another attempt on his life, refuses to speak. Jimmy believes he will be safer in prison.

That night, Ryan pulls a gun on Jo right outside her flat. Ryan forces her to listen to him explain why she can’t re-assign him.

The following day, Jo threatens Kate by stating she would hate to lose another senior detective. Then, she implies that if Kate keeps on pushing about Ryan, Jo will raise questions about her following the patrol car taking Terry home the night he almost drowned.

Ian pretends to be Jimmy’s new prison bunkmate allowing Carl’s brother Lee Michael Banks to garrot him. Lee orders Ian to watch what happens to “rats.” Is Ian involved with Organized Crime after all?

The episode ends with Steve learning that Jo is related to somebody in the system. Who is it? A “bent” cop or a criminal? Watch Line of Duty Season 6 on Britbox!

Just Another Hole in the Wall - Rebecca Bryn

Just Another Hole in the Wall – Rebecca Bryn

‘Maggie’s Journal.’ The girl has long blonde hair and a pretty smile. She opens the green faux-leather book at a page and reads. ‘Saturday April 26th: The blackthorn hangs heavy and snow-white with blossom. Primroses and wood anemones peep shyly from beneath the damp debris of autumn and, today, I saw the first orange-tip butterfly of the year. On the footpath above the valley, red admirals,…

Rubin ‘Rubi’ Orn

 “A tall, redheaded stern faced woman with an ugly curse scar across her face. Wouldn’t fancy meeting her in a dark alley.”

- Chaotic Neutral

 - Born September 22, 1948 on the Faroe Islands.

 - Asexual.

 - Was the result of a fling of Henry’s before he married his first wife. Her mother, Elsa, is a half-blood.

 - Alumni of Drumstrang. Recommends attending one of the smaller schools or even a school out of the area when asked about her time there. 

- Drumstrang does not have ‘houses’ in the traditional sense but they do have different schools of Magic that students can focus on after their third year. Rubi chose seiðr or Old Norse magic.

- Sees magic as a neutral force, it is only as Light or as Dark as those using it.

- Morally grey.

- sarcastic.

 - Worked as a spy during the First Wizarding War. Later hunted Death Eaters for a time before becoming a professional Duellist.

 - Hates Grindelwald with a burning passion.

 - Blew her cover after Death Eaters targeted her father’s children (Hecate and Jacob.) Brutally killed three of them, two escaped.

 - Owns a Kneazle named Sam and speaks with him at length on various subjects. Values his opinion. Hecate, Bryn, and Sean are concerned.

 - Moved two houses down from Hecate’s house after the incident with the death eaters

 - Her patronus is a wolverine. Has no idea what it is, refers to it as a “Fucked up Badger thing.” Her memory is holding Hecate and Jacob for the first time.

 - Practices an older, more traditional form of wandless magic. Uses plants, crystals, and bones in her spells. Does have a wand for duelling.

- Yew Wand, 11 inches, springy flexibility, and a vial of Swooping Evil venom as a core.

Popular in Ireland and Scotland, the European Yew is a wand wood of death and rebirth. The owner values honor highly, and would often prefer to die rather than submit or surrender in extreme cases. They often have a preoccupation with religion, spirituality, spirits, reincarnation, and the after-life.

These witches and wizards are independent, and may refuse the help of others (this may be overcome later in life, but will be especially prominent in their youth). It takes them much time to develop as people, as well as to develop their magic.

The unusual quality about yew wood itself is how flexible the wood is, despite its great hardness and strength (for being a softwood). The owner is similar in that they have strong convictions but are flexible in the manner in which they accomplish goals or uphold their convictions. They have an inner-resilience which allows them to spring back from metaphorical deaths.

They can be exceptionally protective of those they’ve ‘claimed’ as their own, and make for frightening adversaries

A powerful core, swooping evil venom has an odd reputation as it is capable of the most terrifying mind-altering spells as well as the most potent mind-healing magic. This core chooses creative witches and wizards, with great imaginations. Often, this reveals itself in endeavors like stone carving as well as creating the most ingenious and twisted of hexes and jinxes. Their owner’s head in the clouds appearance belies their talents in offensive magic and manipulation. At their worst, they can be a bit sadistic and play head games on other people for their own amusement. There is talent in magic to do with darkness, memory, the mind, hiding, and concealment. This core also possesses a latent soul-based magic, which is activated by specific wand woods (such as camphor). Otherwise, it gravitates towards woods with a darker nature such as blackthorn or snakewood.

 Wren Ito (Maiden name: Ames)

 “Their older sister, Wren, was a fine student of my house. Quiet, made almost no trouble for anybody. Clearly that must have come from her mother.”

- Lawful Good.

 - Born January 1st, 1950 in London, England.

 - Pureblood (technically).

 - Ravenclaw, the first in the Ames family

 - Daughter from her father’s first Marriage to Nancy Ames (Maiden name: White). Her mother was the muggleborn daughter of a Mortician and a housewife.

 - Nancy was murdered in 1955, the murder was never solved but was believed to have been committed by an early version of Death Eaters. Wren was with her grandparents at the time of the murder.

 - Wren was a good student during her time at Hogwarts but was generally quiet and unassuming. Her favorite class was Ghoul Studies and her best class was Astronomy. Involved in Astronomy Club and Ghoul Club

 - Became interested in Ghouls due to her mother sticking around for two years after her death and because Muggle Shades often hung around her grandmother, the daughter of a muggle and a Squib, who had a mild version of second sight.

 - Slight build with light brown hair and tiny. Looks nothing like her younger siblings.

 - Met her future husband Osamu at the Triwizard Tournament.

 - Her patronus is a fox, which is her husbands Animagus form. It was previously a field mouse. Her happy memory is her first date with her husband.

 - Really dislikes Rakepick as she went to school with her.

 - Still a quiet person but has developed a very wry sense of humor from her husband. Also loves Puns. This causes great pain to her family.

 - Lives on Mahoutokoro school grounds with her husband and two children Sara and Mirou. Her husband is the Professor of Transfiguration and she writes books on Ghouls and Shades (Muggle ghosts). Is considered the foremost expert on the subject. Uses a typewriter rather than a quill.

- Her wand is Mahogany, 12 inches, swishy flexibility and a mermaid hair core.

Mahogany wand owners are charismatic, energetic, and possess much curiosity. They have above average magical cores, and great endurance. They like to be intellectually stimulated and become bored very quickly. The lion’s share of their energy goes towards what interests them, and they neglect that which does not. There is a regal air to their mannerisms, and a devil may care attitude in their interactions with others. They care little for others’ opinions, but also care too much on the opinions of those they admire or are close to them.

Most subjects and knowledge comes easily to them, and they can come up with innovative solutions incredibly fast.

Though they can be sweet and protective of their loved ones, these witches and wizards are also jealous and vengeful to those they dislike. Many times,their dislike is arbitrary or due to jealousy. They can be extremely possessive and controlling at their worst.

 Merperson hair wands’ reputation varies by the subspecies and by cultural norms. What is shared between people with this core, it that they all are creative and imaginative, and usually have some sort of musical talent. These witches and wizards also have a talent with language, and may learn foreign languages with relative ease. ‘Restless’ describes these people well, and they like to investigate and explore. They are always searching for something, and even they don’t know exactly what it is. They can become irritated by those who try to force a routine on them, or those who try to tell them how to live. Adventurous at heart, they like to try new things or novel approaches. They don’t care for doing something just because it’s “tried and true.” Finding new and better ways is important to them, testing the limits of what is possible and what they can accomplish.

Fiadah O'Faud.

“All O’Faud’s are Blood Traitors. Especially that one.”

- Technically Chaotic Good. Lawful Chaotic would be a better term.

 - Born April 1st 1951, in a home for unwed mothers in County Galway Ireland. Was the result of an affair between her mother Brigid O’Faud and Henry Ames.

 - Pansexual

 - Has a half-Veela partner of seven years named Simon Jones.

 - Pureblood.

 - O’Faud’s had not been allowed at Hogwarts up until about 1914 due to an ancestor killing the grandson of Salazar Slytherin because he (allegedly) married and then murdered Callum O’Faud’s granddaughter, who was a squib. They were not allowed in Slytherin until 1951.

 - Her mother and stepfather immigrated to America when she was 13 years old. They both still currently live in Boston, Massachusetts. She transferred to Ilvermorny and was sorted into Wampus House. Was originally in Slytherin.

 - Visits all her half siblings often, especially Hecate, Bryn, and Danny.

 - Fiadah works as a magical law Prosecutor in America and takes cases that mostly involve violence against Creatures, Muggles, Squibs, Muggleborns, and foreigners.

 - Cunning and extremely bullheaded but surprisingly well spoken. Does not look like she would be well spoken.

 - Dry as dead leaves humor.

 - Covered in magical tattoos that move around her body. Currently has a snake, a thunderbird, two crows, a raven, a hare, a spray of flowers that bloom in the morning and close at night, and a Thestral.

 - Average height with black hair in a pixie cut and black eyes.

 - Animagus form is a crow.

 - Patronus is an Irish Hare. Her happy memory is introducing Hecate, Sean, Bryn, and Jacob to American rock the day she got her law certification.

 - Saw her grandmother die (cancer).

 - Lives in rural Georgia. Does not speak to any of her parents, does not like them.

 - Plays the fiddle. When she tells someone she played them ‘Like a fiddle’ that’s a compliment, Fiddles are hard to play.

- Her wand is a Redwood wand, 13 inches, slight flexibility, and a dragonheartstring core.

Prized in California and Pacific Northwest, redwood is notorious for its owner’s ability to survive the impossible (Pottermore). Which is fortunate because they seem to be danger magnets. Their personality and natural skill set that this wand is attracted to also make for people who thrive under pressure and against the odds.

These witches and wizards have good reflexes as well as good judgement and foresight. Not much surprises them and what does surprise them, they react and adapt to with ridiculous ease. As Ollivander states, they have a talent for turning disaster into opportunity.

Brave and adventurous, not much intimidates the owner of a redwood wand.

As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
