MOON

Willa is still conducting research about her last name.

"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."

Willa seeks knowledge and wisdom. She feels that if she knows the answer to everything, she can do anything.

"Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair – although, again, this factor ought not to be considered separately from the wand wood, core, and length, nor of the owner’s life experience and style of magic, all of which will combine to make the wand in question unique."

"Stiff and unyielding wands tend to find in demanding wizards and witches their perfect partners, and the magic produced by stiff wands are the hardest to be undone. The owner of an unbending wand is usually a selective wizard or witch. In many cases, the best wands for duels present unbending or unyielding rigidity."

"The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree made for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often made a wand that possessed truly lethal power, whatever the core."

"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."

"...if paired with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind."
