Wand Info

Wood Type Mayhaw

Wand Core Rougarou Hair

Wand Length 32.5 cm

Reducio

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.

Backstory

Reducio

The extensive line of O’Niell is quite an old one, with generations upon generations of half-bloods, ever still producing wizards and witches that are powerful in their own right every so often. Young magic users in this family turn their focus to healing magics in their later years, often becoming doctors and healers in the muggle world, where many meet their spouses. Most recently, they’ve aligned with the high-class Callery family. A once pure-blooded house that in very recent years, has become mixed. They too are an old name. One of wealth and a history of witches and wizards skilled in divination and alchemy.

Through this alignment, a child by the name of Sylvie O’Niell was born to parents Saoirse Callery and Dillion O’Niell on the evening of June 13th, 2008. Many in the Callery family didn’t much approve of this union in blood, especially a union with one such as the predominantly half-blooded O’Niell, thus resulting in their loss of blood purity, though these opinions were spoken in hushed whispers and behind closed doors, and still are to this day. Despite this, Sylvie was raised in a predominantly positive household in their youth.

As a toddler, Sylvie grew up in the muggle world at the O’Niell family home in Ireland, surrounded by hushed magic within her suburban home walls, being told bedtime stories of goblins and pixies and elves. She was an independent child, though very quiet. Almost unusually so for a child of that age, though one would assume she was simply lost in her own world at the time.

When she was five years old, her family moved to Caerleon, Wales where she was enrolled in kindergarten. Though her stoic and quiet nature would stay throughout her early years, two children by the names of Thomas and Talulah Baines, her classmate seemed to help bring her out of her shell, for better or for worse, and she grew to be fast friends with them. To this day, they’re still as close as best friends can be.

By the time she was 7, she had practically turned into a new person. No longer was she freakishly silent. As a matter of fact, she was quite extroverted in the way she interacted with others. It was during this time that Sylvie began to have her first experiences with her own magic. One day, during a playdate a the Baines residence, a minor altercation flared up between Tommy and Sylvie. After Tommy called Sylvie’s shoes ugly, that was the last straw. Tommy’s shoes went flying right off his feet, across the bedroom and out the window, causing the boy to fall flat on his back. Quite literally swept off of his feet. Of course, this caused Tommy and Sylvie to collectively lose their minds and both swore to never speak of the moment again.

Many minor happenings such as this happened throughout the rest of her time in the muggle world and her family was more than aware. During this time, she was told what was to come and would be expected of her during her time at the mystical school of Hogwarts, as well as what to expect herself. It sounded like such a mystical place. The fact that soon, she would be able to experience everything her parents told her stories about was invigorating to her, and she couldn't wait to see what Hogwarts had in store.

Personality

Reducio

In the past, upon first meeting Sylvie, the girl would seem to be a bit quiet, perhaps even soft-spoken. Now, things are different.

In truth, she's a brash girl with a unfortunately dwindling sanity. Sometimes coming off as a bit rude, she's not one to back down from a fight that she knows she can win, and she strives for near perfection in all the things that she does. Sylvie has a hard time keep keeping still, always bouncing a leg or tapping her feet. While she's rowdy, the girl does still enjoy the occasional quiet moment to herself. Sometimes.

+ Passionate	+ Ambitious	+ Adventurous	+ Inquisitive	+ Protective	+ Empathetic
- Paranoid	- Hot-headed	- Stubborn	- Impulsive	- Erratic	- Bombastic

Physical Appearance

Reducio

Sylvie is a girl with an athletic build who stands about 5'5". Though her nails are always seen painted in a rainbow of colors, more often than not, they'll be chipped.

Her skin is tan and lightly freckled and her hair is colored a soft red that falls just past her shoulders, the ends of which are lightened by the sun, a strawberry blonde.

She has eyes are a warm brown, veering a deep orange color and they never cease to display her innermost feelings.

[font=EngraversGothic BT]Mother[/font]

[font=EngraversGothic BT]Father

Reducio Sylvie has a somewhat tense relationship with her mother. While she does love her and knows she's loved in return, she feels as though her mother is a least a bit disappointed in her. She's talked about behind her back by her mother's side of the family, and while she pretends to not notice their whispers, she hears them all too clearly. The fact that her mother never seems to defend when this happens makes Sylvie feel conflicted and even a bit angry.

Reducio Sylvie's relationship with her father is far less strained than with that of her mother. Before coming to Hogwarts, the two of them were practically joined at the hip, and when she was small, they did everything together. He made her feel that even if some of her family clearly disapproved of her; she wasn't so bad after all. Her father has always been a great comfort in her life.

[font=EngraversGothic BT]Place Holder

Reducio A former best friend of Sylvie who goes all the way back to early childhood. Along with Thomas Baines, Talulah and Sylvie grew up together. Wherever Sylvie was, Tallie wasn't far behind, and vice versa. Wherever trouble was, you'd find the both of them. As of the tail-end of their first year, however, the pair somehow grew apart and very rarely speak, despite sharing a house. This used to bother Sylvie, but her growing lack of object permanence is quickly tending to the wound Tallie left behind.

[font=EngraversGothic BT]Elias Weare

Reducio Thomas Baines is one of the most important people in Sylvie's life. Not to mention her favorite. The two of them are childhood friends who have stuck (and likely will continue to stick) together for a very long time. Sylvie would do virtually anything for Thomas. She admires she smarts and sensible nature, which balances Sylvie's rambunctiousness perfectly. He is one of the few people who can truly keep Sylvie grounded (for the better).

Reducio Beautiful, smart, incredible, cute, perfect, and most importantly... Single. Elias may or may not like Sylvie very much, but that doesn't matter! Because she likes Elias very much. Sylve thinks the boy can do no wrong. Her best friend, Thomas, considers him an arch nemesis... Sylvie considers him a future husband!

Reducio Sylvie is quite fond of Rosie. Ever since Rosie began tutoring her and Thomas Baines, they've grown to become pretty good friends! Even though they're in different years, Sylvie enjoys spending time tormenting hanging out with her the Hufflepuff girl on the regular.
