appearance
face claim: sadie sink

Reducio

- curly ginger hair
- pale complexion, rosy cheeks
- freckles that are focused mainly on her nose and cheeks, but are also present on her forehead, shoulders and arms
- slim build, average height
- lanky limbs that give her an awkward appearance, as if she doesn't know where to put her hands or how to stand
- almost always has a messy appearance - her hair looks unbrushed and wild. her shirt is practically never tucked in, her tie never tied properly and her socks never pulled up.

wand 28,1 cm mayhaw wood and unicorn hair stiff, very powerful but hard to use, very selective of the wizard it chooses Reducio "[Hawthorn wands] are complex and intriguing in their natures, just like the owners who best suit them. Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have 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. Hawthorn is not easy to master, however, and I would only ever consider placing a hawthorn wand in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent, or the consequences might be dangerous. Hawthorn wands have a notable peculiarity: their spells can, when badly handled, backfire." - Wizarding World, Wand Woods Reducio "Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may ‘die’ and need replacing." - Wizarding World, Wand Cores
