Wand: 20,4 cm cherry wood and phoenix feather
Cherry wood is extraordinarily rare in the magical world that has the ability to create rather strange powers. Cherry wood might look ornate and decorative but don't allow looks to deceive you, Cherry wood wands carry a lethal power that is both strange and beautiful, one that power can only grow depending on the wizard that uses it.
Cherry wood comes from Cherry blossom trees more commonly found in Asian countries. Mahoutokoro; the Japanese school of magic is a place that favors those with Cherry wood wands and students with the type of wand wood is given special preference and a sort of prestige.
Cherry wood wands are one of power that is both strange and deadly, often confirming the term 'don't judge a book by its cover' in daily life. These powerful wand woods choose wizards with strong self-control and strength of mind. An intelligent mind that is more recognizable in some rather than others.

Phoenix feathers are the rarest core type in the wizarding world. These cores are capable of the largest range of magic, they contain strange and very powerful magic that is harder to reveal and gain the trust of than unicorn and dragon cores for example.
This core is taken from a Phoenix; an animal that is known to the wizarding world for it's independence and detached nature. The nature of the creature is what makes the wand core the pickiest when it comes to choosing a wizard.
Phoenix Feather cores often choose owners who have capabilities of both light and dark within them. Wizards that have a great deal of power with them and a strong heart that guides them along, a sort of determination that is rare for a wizard to obtain.
Once paired, Phoenix cores are the most loyal wand you can have. Not changing owners easily, the wand keeps its loyalty to one wizard no matter the challenges or duels faced throughout the years.
Phoenix cores are known to act on their known accord. Having a personality of its own that chooses when to cast and when to not. Phoenix cores are the hardest to control and personalize but once one does then it can be quite a powerful and loyal wand.

A wand's flexibility isn't physical and not something that the eyes can see. Flexibility is a term to describe the wand. How adaptive the wand is to different situations and people.
Brittle wands are not as flexible as other types of wands, they don't easily adapt to new owners or strange situations. Brittle wands tend to be known as stubborn and headstrong in the wizarding world which can both be a curse and a gift.

The length of a wand largely depends on the personality of the owner. The larger the personality could mean the larger the wand while the short the personality means a shorter wand.
20,3 cm is average when it comes to wand sizes often referring to the wizard's personality and their reactions in a situation. They could have a quicker and sometimes larger reaction rate to others or tend to have a slower reaction rate. Choosing to think. The length could be a reference to the mental or physical strength of the wizard.

Personality: He’s been arrogant ever since he was a little boy, he was brash at times but loyal at other times and even brave at the most critical moments of his life. He would also go out of his way to save a muggle from a building that was on fire simply because he wanted to be a hero. He is also quite impatient, his age will show that very well. He also is persistent in his efforts to root out bullying in school. Finally, he is very kind to those who deserve compassion, especially those who were bullied since he was bullied himself in muggle school.
Background: Jacob's father always wanted him to be the best, which is why Jacob is so arrogant and always wanted to be on a Quidditch team. He always looked up to his father and often asked him for advice. His father was in Gryffindor himself; his mother, on the other hand, was in Ravenclaw and consistently pressured her son to be the most knowledgeable he could be, though he never listened. He also loved to know his ancestry, which is the only time that he listened to his mother, but in every other respect, when it comes to knowledge, he never listens to his mother about expertise. His father was once a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and Jacob always wanted to be on the team. His first accidental use of magic was when he set his teddy bear on fire when he was four years old; his parents freaked out about it, but Jacob did not get in trouble as his parents understood on that day that it was an accident and that back then he couldn't control them. His father is an Auror in the Ministry of Magic and taught Jacob how exactly to become an Auror himself; in order to do this his must at least get four O.W.L.'s in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, and Herbology. But he didn't get it in the first term. His mother works in Diagon Alley in Flourish and Blotts, and both his mother and father were very good at what they do. They met in Hogwarts during their fifth Year, and they hit it off right away, sneaking out into the grounds for a nighttime stroll, but were caught by the Caretaker at the time, Mister Filch. After the Second Wizarding War, they married on July 30, 2001, and Jacob was born on September 28, 2007; he seemed active even as a young boy playing in the backyard, swinging on a swing set. He never got very close with muggles, but never bullied anyone because he knew from his parents that bullying was wrong. He had no other family besides his uncle and aunt; he knew his uncle very well. His aunt, not so much. The rest of his family died during the Second Wizarding War. He had no friends before going to Hogwarts, so he was lonely at times, and talked to his family often. In 2020, Jacob and his family were returning from vacation when a Dark Wizard named Augustus Haggot approached the family. His father tried to defend them, and Augustus killed Richard Harman. Jacob never forgave himself after that, as he was frightened that he would be killed. He then founded Lear's Army, a club where he taught defensive magic to anyone who wished to join in secret, being inspired by Harry Potter and his efforts to teach defensive magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions and teach the dangers of Dark Wizards. This continued into his second, third, and first-fourth Year. Later, when he was 15 years old, he was held back another year for skipping some classes, and on his mother's insistence because of this, Solomon Lear accepted her request and Jacob was forced to wait another year, which caused tension between both mother and son. Finally, years of tension between mother and son boiled over, leading to a fight at Number 12 Privet Drive, where they had moved during the summer of 2021.

Aston grew up without experience in muggle society, but his muggle mother did decide to prepare him and teach him muggle things she deemed important, like ways to use a gun or the best way to attack someone with your bare hands. Aston always found these lessons to be quite interesting and enjoyable, though it very well could have just been his desire to spend more time with his mother. Nevertheless he studied hard and listened. His mother Loretta never had a normal or partially pleasant personality, or at least in the eyes of most people. Her temper got her into fights since she was a child and she eagerly watched when her family taught her all the ways to hunt and kill animals for food. Naturally she passed them on to Aston, leading him to be quite proficient in gun shooting, muggle street fighting, sketching, fishing and other rather unconventional things that are quite useless in the wizarding world. One of Aston's first, and most fond memory of this was how his mother went fishing with him when he was a child, his father came with too but truth be told he wasn't much help. They lived not far from a large lake with many fish so they all took advantage of that in the summer of 2018. Aston remembers that day surprisingly well, he got woken up early by his father while his mother was in the room over packing up. Despite Aston's father going magic less for nearly a decade at this point, he still had not quite adapted to the muggle life and left most of these things to his- at the time- wife. It was a great experience for Aston since it was the first time he ever caught fish by himself, sure it took him ages and there were lots of fish that he totally missed, it was still the very first time he felt that unique sense of accomplishment only achievable by working hard and actually getting results out of it, which is why he love these simple muggle hobbies so much. That and the desire to still stay connected to his mother in some minor way lead him to continue excising these basic muggle activities even after moving away and learning that he is a wizard. Even in Hogwarts, where he learns how to do all these fantastical things with his wand, he still finds himself sometimes yearning for home. Luckily out of all the hobbies his mother taught him, there is one that can be done at school, pencil sketching.
