Reducio
"Wand-quality aspen wood was white and fine-grained, and highly prized by all wand-makers for its stylish resemblance to ivory and its usually outstanding charmwork. The proper owner of the aspen wand was often an accomplished duellist, or destined to be so, for the aspen wand was one of those particularly suited to martial magic."
"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. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won."

History
Before Hogwarts:
Reducio
Evony learned of her lineage as a pure-blood witch when she was eight, but her upbringing was far from the wizarding nobility. Shuffled between foster homes, she never formed lasting attachments, leaving her with a sense of impermanence, but also a resilience that would define her character.
First Instance of Magic:
Evony's first instance of magic happened unexpectedly one day. In a fit of anger and fear, the lights of the house inexplicably flickered on and off.
After her first instance of magic, when she was alone, Alistair Plume appeared in a blurring swirl, and told her about her parents - the first time she had ever been told anything about them. He only said that they were pure-bloods and she would attend Hogwarts when she was of age.
Further Background:
Note: The following information is currently unknown to Evony.

"I don't like to talk much about my past. I never knew my parents. I was in a foster home when I received my letter from Hogwarts. I was taken in by the School, my initial provisions provided for by the Ministry, and I never looked back. I look forward to completing my education and showing the world what I can do."

Evony's father, Edmund Senoj, was an Auror, and her mother, Arabella, was a potioneer and healer in the village where they lived. Arabella only worked when she pleased, as she was an only child and had inherited her family wealth and mansion. Edmund's career was very dangerous, considering he worked with a team to track down some of the darkest wizards, so when on a case, he usually traveled and stayed far from their home until the job was done and it was safe to return.
Both were thrilled when they learned they would be having a child, and Edmund decided that it would be time to retire and transition to a safer job closer to home... but he needed to finish one more case. Thinking it would be only a couple month's time, he left his three-months pregnant wife and traveled out of country to help catch a notorious dark wizard.
Months passed, and the dark wizard remained elusive. Worse: he was taunting his pursuers with riddles, puzzles, and threats. In this time, Edmund had been writing to his wife, apologizing for what she had to go through alone. She faithfully sent him a letter every week to assure him of her health, but then came the week when no letter arrived. Arabella was nine months pregnant, and Edmund feared the worst. He dropped the case and hurried home to his wife.
However, when he arrived at his front door, it was open. He called for his wife. No answer. There was a letter on the entrance table. He covered his mouth as he read it. It was Arabella, in excited, shaky scrawl, telling him that they had a baby girl. He called again and rushed to their room.
[Details have been redacted.] Edmund had found his wife murdered and his newborn baby girl, crying of hunger, in a bassinet beside their bed. In fury, Edmund grabbed his baby girl and burned the mansion, eradicating the painful reminder of his loss.
Edmund knew he could never rest, using the reasoning that his daughter would never be safe, until the dark wizard was caught. He wished only for his daughter to have a simple life, and he would give that to her when he returned. For now, he contacted a friend of his at the Ministry, Alistair Plume, to help him procure paperwork to have his daughter placed in a foster home temporarily. He kissed his daughter, whispered promises in her ear, and then left her with nothing but a name: Evony Senoj.
Months passed. Then a year. When Evony was one year and 2 months old, unbeknownst to her or the family that agreed to take her in only temporarily, Edmund Senoj was killed by the dark wizard. Shortly after, he was finally caught and placed in Azkaban - indefinitely.
Evony's first foster family kept her long after the agreed amount of time, until she was three years old, but when they had their own child, they regretfully gave her up to the foster system. While newborns and infants have the highest adoption rates, a child the age of three has a much lower likelihood of adoption. By six years old, the percentage of children adopted drops to almost 25%., and by ten years old, only about 17% of foster children are adopted.
Evony moved from foster home to foster home, a string of bad luck causing her to remain unadopted. She received a full education in the same way most wizarding children do, through small public wizarding schools and occasionally homeschool. Her past remained a mystery, and she felt she had no true place in the world, until the night the lights inexplicably flickered in her room.
Evony's current guardians as of starting at Hogwarts are Gladdis and Henrick Whitlock.

Hogwarts - YEAR ONE

Dorm
Held Back?!
Reducio
Dormitory of Pansy Parkinson
Having never had her own space to personalize before, Evony was excited at the idea of decorating her little corner of the dorm. She requested for the walls around her bed to be black and for the ceiling to be enchanted with the night sky. A light magical fog curls from under her bed. The wood of her bed, side tables, and truck is a dark ebony, and her trunk has aesthetic silver chains around it. Rather than a traditional night stand, there is a small bookshelf beside her bed which houses her textbooks (she hopes to add to her book collection throughout the year).

Evony’s First Year at Hogwarts had started strong. She was motivated, confident, and proud. However, as the months passed, she slowly began to fall behind. She had been excited to be sorted into the Slytherin house; she truly felt that was where she belonged. However, she soon found that the house culture was more competitive and isolating than she expected. So many of the other Slytherins were tough, hard, and - honestly - cruel or just obnoxious. They were overly dramatic, snarky… Evony didn’t need friends, of course, but… it was quite draining when the students around her were always so stifling rather than supportive.
Perhaps her social struggles added to her academic frustrations, but she began to lose motivation toward certain subjects - specifically those with no practical, hands-on spellwork, like History of Magic, Astronomy, Herbology, and even Flying. They just seemed so… pointless. So, her work in these classes began to slip. It was so easy to just skimp out on the work, and by the end of the year, she was skipping classes as well. She had convinced herself that doing well in these classes didn’t matter as much; “real” classes like Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, and Potions were what would make her a powerful witch. Besides, she could always catch up later, right?
Well, then the letter came. Evony flushed with instant regret and embarrassment as she read about the summer make-up exam. She would need to receive a passing score, or she would not be permitted to advance to Second Year. And so, her preparations began. She used every bit of summer time allotted to her before the exam to study and catch up on her theoretical subjects. She dedicated a space in her room for extreme focus: candles, notes, calming incense…
She made (and stuck to!) a schedule: History and Fly theory in the morning, Herbology in the afternoon, and Astronomy in the evening.
Her wall was lined with timeline posters and little sticky notes with dates, names, and facts: The Gargoyle Strike, The Goblin Rebellions, The Soap Blizzard, The Witch Hunt Era, The Salem Witch Trials… all the events she should have learned throughout her First Year of History of Magic. She reviewed them each morning before reading her textbook, self-studying with flashcards, and sometimes even playing out dramatic reenactments just to help her remember important events.
For Fly, she had notes and diagrams on the development of the Racing Broom, lists of broom companies and models (including the major features of each), and extra books on the rules, mechanics, and history of Quidditch and official Broom Racing competitions. She created flight trajectory maps and scribbled out possible obstacle courses that might help her with practical flying once she was back at school. She attempted to memorize the most common Quidditch maneuvers, though this was one of her most dreaded tasks.
When studying Herbology, she attempted some hands-on gardening with a few mundane plants, and otherwise sketched and wrote out notes for the various magical plants (Mandrakes, Bouncing Bulbs, Gillyweed, Fireseed Bush, Honking Daffodils… and so many more). To motivate her to care about the plants, she applied her Herbology studies toward other subjects such as noting any and all uses of the plants as potion ingredients and looking up which plants could be used in teas and divination.
She was often exhausted by the time she got to studying Astronomy each night, but she tracked and labeled the constellations, studied her wall calendar of the moon phases and their effects on magic… She had drawings and notes on each of the planets (including the dwarf planets)... and she often fell asleep at her window, snuggled up close to her small telescope.
Finally, the day of the exam came. She was taken to an empty Hogwarts classroom with a few other students and an exam administrator. She took a deep breath as she opened her texting booklet and inked her quill. As her eyes scanned the first page, a slow smile came to her lips. Yeah, she’s got this. Everything will be just fine…
