Reducio

I've spent a lot of time coding and recoding (and re-re-recoding!) this ency so it's been influenced by the works of a lot of people on this site - I just wish I had the time and space to list all of them! Currently, the main inspos of this ency are the encyclopedias of Ivy Bellamy, Everly Charlton, Winnie Harper, and Draven Mirador, so thank you!

NAMES

Lucia | Pronounced 'loo-SEE-a', this is a girls' name meaning 'light'. It is of Spanish/Italian origin and derives from the Latin 'lux'. It is considered to be forms of the boys' name 'Lucius' and the girls' name 'Lucy' and is traditionally given to babies born at daybreak, as Lucia was.
Fox | This is the name of the family that Lucia's mother married into. Although she has not seen her husband for many years and isn't on good terms with his parents, she and her daughters still use and are proud of the name. It could be a reference to either the fox-coloured hair or sly nature of Lucia's ancestors.
Nicknames | Lucy (Ebony, Briar, and Willow Fox), Luce (Cassandra Ironwoods)

REPUTATION

Due to her not being an extremely outgoing person, and having become even more withdrawn in the period after her best friend Alexa's death in winter 2021, most people probably don't know who Lucia Fox is. She doesn't mind this - there's no reputation to live up to if you don't have one, after all. However, those in pureblood circles may recognise her by her surname when she introduces herself. Most students are only likely to know of her from her position on the Hufflepuff duelling team or her leadership of the Bookworms club. Thanks to her Veela ancestry becoming public in October 2022, Lucia found herself in the public eye for a little, but the gossip seems to have calmed down now.

WAND

"An extremely loyal and faithful wand! Slightly swishy, and goes along well with highly intuitive wizards who also have a certain affinity with nature." - Ollivander
Length | 23.5cm
Wood | Blackthorn
Core | Jackalope antler
Flexibility | Slightly swishy
Description by Piper Clark |

Reducio

Wands of blackthorn are typically fighters, and Lucia is no exception to this general rule. Though she may not express it at first sight, she has passions and thoughts, all woven into a complex personality. Her wand overall has a few contradictions, but this makes for a spontaneous wand. The saying “opposites attract” works marvelously here.
Like Lucia, the blackthorn wood is exceptionally loyal. However, this wand requires a personal connection (usually arriving via emotionally hard circumstances) in order to work best to its fullest potential. This unwavering loyalty can be this wand’s greatest downfall, as it will work just as well for owners who have gone on the Dark path as it will for the good. Lucia trusts and befriends far more easily than blackthorn would usually prefer, but she will not let strangers into her deep, vulnerable heart too easily. She must get to know them - learn their motives - before allowing herself to offer the gift of rigid allegiance. Lucia will best work with her wand when she has persevered through difficult times with it. Unlike most blackthorn users, Lucia is much more of an optimist than a doom-and-gloom pessimist.
Jackalope antler core is a truly peculiar core indeed - not a typical Ollivander core, and presumably originating from a North American wandmaker. Similarly to the creature it comes from (a mythical rabbit with antlers of a deer), it is suited to those who are physically active in one form or another. One can see the power this core presents through Lucia - not stereotypical brute power, but a spontaneous and intuitive power which kicks in only when needed most. This core is something of a paradox for Lucia - it does suit ambiverts quite well, but Lucia does not seek the type of adventure this core truly desires. However, this simply makes for unusual circumstances - Lucia’s dueling reflexes make perfect sense within the scope of this core’s power.
Though the blackthorn wood and jackalope antler core are seemingly opposites, these are ideal conditions. The fact that both blackthorn and jackalope antler perform highly in both defensive magic/jinxes (particularly charms and defense against the dark arts) and astronomy is likely no coincidence. Lucia loves astronomy, and it is this call to the universe and nature - the unknown - that her wand encourages and works with. Wand and owner’s very bases and personalities are contrasting yet extremely compatible.
A slightly swishy flexibility indicates that Lucia is healthily open-minded. She will express her views, and being the mediator she is, she will generally be quite polite about them. Lucia is more likely to stay quiet in large groups which contrast her opinions (under slight peer pressure), but in small group settings or one-on-one will speak up. The flexibility indicates loyalty which works quite well for blackthorn, not performing to its best potential for anybody else. A length of 23.5 cm is on the lowest end of the length spectrum, indicating a fatal flaw in Lucia’s personality. This seems to be her disappointing naivety and loyalty towards new people, though there could still be another unseen Achilles heel to come. Appearances can be deceiving.
Lucia’s overall wand is one of great rarity and potential if she only deciphers how to tap into it. Lucia defies stereotypes with it, and for a bit may struggle with spellcasting until she has mastered her bond with her wand. The pair is very loyal to each other and other people, which can be a good and an unfortunate trait. Through her journey in life, Lucia will find mastery in her magical pursuits. Common careers which are cited for blackthorn/jackalope antler and may fit Lucia are Auror, Astronomer, and Curse-Breaker.
