Reducio I just want to take a minute to thank my amazing friend @Rhea Miller, who is way ahead of me in terms of coding ability, and has helped me out whenever I had a question or problem. This ency would be a lot worse without them.

Please do not use my coding without permission. :)Note
I plan on being mostly inactive for a while ~amount of time undetermined~ to focus on school and other irl things. However I will most likely be checking in to post W.O.R.D. prompts and monitor club activity. Oh, and this ency hasn't been updated in a while, fyi. I think some code updates have made the formatting a bit off, but I don't feel like fixing it right now. Have a lovely day!
Important! This is a lgbtq+ and people of color SAFE account. No hate here, please! While I love and appreciate JK Rowling's work, I choose to distance myself from some of her unfortunate and hurtful beliefs.======================

| boggart: Reducio amortentia Reducio erised Reducio Herself with her older sister Anastasia standing next to her. |
 | thestrals? Reducio Visible, due to Anastasia's death. | patronus Reducio N/A Probably an elephant, owl, orca, sparrow, or occamy when she gets to 5th year. "Those with the Occamy patronus are thoughtful. People with this patronus can often be found reflecting on previous events and on profound ideas. They often have a creative side too, excelling in creative subjects. Those with the Occamy are very protective of their friends." | polyjuice Reducio Light blue, almost clear in appearance, and rippling like light on water. It smells and tastes like a light vanilla and rose tea with a hint of lavender, and when consumed, a slight warming sensation spreads through the body. |

Reducio Calypso has elbow-length dark chestnut hair with a slight wave to it, which she usually wears down or in a ponytail or messy bun. She is just below average height, and has warm brown eyes and a kind smile. She gets a faraway look on her face when she daydreams, and a dead serious one when thinking about something important. Cal has a tendency of winding her hair around her fingers when she's thinking, and fiddles with her belt loop when bored or nervous (if wearing jeans). She does not wear makeup, and doesn't have pierced ears. In terms of jewelry, she sometimes will don a single necklace or a few bracelets, but wears it sparsely. The young Gryffindor's wardrobe consists mainly of jeans and t-shirts (some with grammar puns or book quotes) and combat boots, crocs, or converse. She loves a good comfy sweater. During the week, of course, Calypso simply wears her Gryffindor uniform, sometimes changing after classes but this is rare. She is known to wear the robes on the weekend from time to time, out of convenience. When she gets a bit older, Calypso will abandon her complete disregard for fashion and adopt a sort of boho/flower child/light academia style, though not lose her 'comfort comes first' philosophy. |

Reducio Wood: Mayhaw Reducio Core: Phoenix Feather "Mayhaw" is a term used to refer to the fruit of the species Crataegus Aestivalis. This shrub belongs to the hawthorn family and grows in wetlands throughout the Southern United States. Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and it has been generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil. The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn 'makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.' While he and Garrick Ollivander disagreed on many fronts, they concurred about hawthorn wands, which are complex and intriguing in their natures, just like the owners who best suit them." Credit: Wikipedia and Pottermore Reducio Length: 22.6 cm How can you rise if you have not burned? "This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won." Credit: Wikipedia and Pottermore Reducio Wandmaker's Note: "Most wands are between nine and fourteen inches long." That means Calypso's is quite short. Credit: Harry Potter Wiki Reducio "Pliable, particularly effective for transfiguration, but a bit less for charms."
Reducio Calypso's pet kitten, adopted in Diagon Alley over Spring Break during her first year. Name: Merope Birthdate: January 20, 2021, 6:40 am Adoption Date: April 2, 2021 Breed: Silver Mackerel Tabby Sex: Female Personality: Sweet + Fiery Appearance: "One silver and black tabby...Her fur was soft, and her eyes wide and bright." |
Reducio Needless to say, Calypso has quite a lot of them. Many being her assigned potion- and spellbooks, as there wasn't much room in her trunk for personal volumes after all the necessities had been packed - though Cal managed to fit in a few. At any given time during the school year she has at least three books checked out from the Hogwarts Library.
