Ever since Atlas was old enough to walk, he had had an unnoticed ability for dodging trouble, one that seemed less like an instinct and more like an old habit and whether he was in Quidditch matches or dodging a wild spell in an intense duel situations, he always seemed to be moving with the awareness of what was going to occur a split second before it did. But all oof that was him relying on a tingling feeling.

His agility was unmatched, which seemed like an ability which had manifested itself from a young age in his early life. While only old enough to hold a broom he had already demonstrated being nimble and experienced a tingling sense of danger being near him. The moment a Bludger was being fired at him, he would barely avoid the path of attack—having caught only a blast of air across his robes—and even in his friendly matches before the era when he ever represented an official team, he seemed to be an unstoppable target due to his evasive prowess and his teammates had taunted that even the wind itself could not tag him, but they were exaggerating.

This natural agility benefited him as a keeper the moment he stepped onto the Quidditch pitch. The game was dangerous enough, but the boy was a master of it. His rapid, dodging reflexes enabled him to pirouette past opposing flyers with sharpened ease, sidestepping chasers and beaters with an air of ease that implied he was barely a speck on the horizon. It wasn't chance—it was like he felt the threat before it reached him, his body reacting before his brain could process the danger.

At a particularly close match against Gryffindor, a Beater had thrown a Bludger screaming towards him, while the audience gasped in expectation—certain it would strike home—but at the very last moment, he twisted his body in a seemingly impossible contortion, ducking under the iron ball with an unreasonable swiftness. But it was not just on the Quidditch field that such a gift served so well. In duels, Atlas seemed like a ghost in and out of spells with an elusive quality that frustrated his opponents and left them shocked because all those spells were nothing and seemed to hit with the force that it might. His slippery nature made him difficult to pin down, always in front, always just out of reach. Some accounted for it as him having a sixth sense of danger but it was just a tingling feeling he got and relied on. Atlas was not surprised easily, whether by spell, Bludger, or even fate itself.

Marquise never had the greatest affinity for animals. He found dogs loud and annoying, and had a minor allergy to cats. His family didn't keep many pets around. They were in Germany, the original family home. It was the wedding of some third cousin. Marquise had stopped being able to distinguish them a while ago. He'd gotten a rare moment to himself, and had decided to take a stroll through the woods near his family home. It was dark and Marquise had lost track of just how far he'd gone in. Panic begin to set in, as he looked around him. He could have sworn he heard something. All it took was the breaking of a stick, and Marquise was off. Running as fast as he could through the woods, he wasn't sure if something was behind him, and wasn't about to turn around to check. He kept running until he tripped over some rocks and landed hard on the ground. Skinning his knee. He felt tears well up in his eyes but bit them back. Afraid whatever was in the forest would smell them. Then marquise heard a voice
'Well you're a stupid one aren't you', the voice sounded almost amused
"W-who are you! where are you! please don't hurt me!" Marquise yelled. Then from the shadows a large snake slithered out. Marquise tried to back away but his knee, meant he wasn't getting far
'Relax, you're far too small and bony to taste good. Seems like you're lost little one' Marquise nodded, too frightened to speak
'Come with me, i'll lead you back home' Marquise debated following the snake, but he knew he didn't have many options as he was completely lost.
"I didn't know that snakes could speak?" He said, a little confused as to how their conversation was happening
'Hahah, I'm not the weird one here kid. You're a parselmouth, capable of understanding us snakes. Haven't met one of your kind before' Parsel Mouth, he knew a bit about that. One of them had caused a bit of trouble in England decades back.
'Ah, we're here. Alright kid, off you go. And a word of advice. Stay out of the woods. The next snake who finds you may not be so kind' With that, the creature slithered off. Marquise ran into the mansion and one of the nannies cast a healing spell on him. The next day he went over to his father who was enjoying some tea
"Dad, what's a parsel mouth" His father froze he choked on his tea. Once he had composed himself he looked down at marquise, his eyes scrutinizing
"Where did you hear about that" Marquise recounted what had happened in the woods, how he'd met the great snake and how it had helped him find his way home
"A parsel mouth is someone who can speak to snakes. A gift embedded deep within our family. Since our ancestors first came to this land. The last one to have the gift was my great grandfather. It was believed to have died with him. To think you have it now." Marquise smiled at that, he was special
"You are not to, show this gift of yours in public. Opinions on parsel mouths vary. this stays within the family" Marquise nodded and walked off.

Name of Ability that you Are Applying for: Fearless (Third Year)
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

Reducio

Being an only child often made Lesmana play alone, especially when his father was too focused on deciphering the runes and his mother had a long-hour job in the nearby clinic. When his parents were busy, Lesmana decided not to disturb them and went outside to see if there was anyone who wanted to play with him. But that day, no one was available to play for many reasons. It's one of the rarest days he really had no one to play. So he went to the nearby forest to look around. He really enjoyed walking near the forest border. Sometimes he entered it and found many interesting things.

The scenery that day was really great, all greens with some colourful accents from the flowers, berries, sometimes fruits, and bugs. All of them were harmonious, making it hardly boring to enjoy. Sometimes he stopped to see the cool-shaped rocks or catch the bugs, even though he would mostly miss them. Then he found a plant that his mother used to cook. He remembered how delicious that plant was in Srikandi's hands. He also remembered that Srikandi liked that vegetable so much. Lesmana decided to approach the plant and took some of them. Just before he picked them up, he heard a noise behind him. He quickly looked at the source of the sound and found a bush moving. Some people might freeze or run when they faced this situation but it was different for Lesmana. It was like I didn't have any sense of fear. The boy approached the bush, quickly parted it, and found a family of chickens. Smiling, Lesmana looked at them. There were two chicks and a hen, all of them ignoring the presence of Lesmana.

It was all calm and fine until his hunch alarmed him. He looked back and saw a snake the size that it could easily swallow all the chicks, maybe also the hen if it was really capable of stretching its size. Lesmana could leave the flock of the chicken there but he felt he must save them. The boy grabbed the hen with his left hand and grabbed the chicks with the other hand. He jumped above the snake and quickly went home. But it seemed he went too deep into the forest. The sky was already pink and the sun had almost vanished but Lesmana still walked in the forest. He still didn't come out from the forest when the sky was really dark. He was only accompanied by the light of the moon and stars and the chickens in his hand. He sometimes got a peck from the hen but he didn't drop it. He was not scared of the dark. He was not scared of the myth that was often told by his friends. He kept walking steadily until he left the forest.

Finally reaching his house, Lesmana could see his parents were waiting for him in front of the door. Lesmana ran joyfully until he saw the change in Srikandi's glare. It was the glare that she often gave to the boys in her house if they made mistakes. Wisnu and Lesmana found it scary at first but Lesmana already grow with it. He dropped the chickens in the front garden. Lesmana had another plan to reduce her mother's anger. He was about to bring out the plants that he found but he forgot that his attention was changed from the plant to the chicken. So Lesmana gave up and could only lower his head and receive all the scolding and lectures.

If anyone wanted to know what happened with the chickens, Lesmana took care of them for two days before they went back to the forest on their own.

Name of Ability that you Are Applying for: Wandmaker (Seventh Year)
Willow Wood, Unicorn Hair Core, 25 cm, Reasonable Supple
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

Reducio

Wood: Willow (63/50)
Lesmana sometimes underestimated himself. He often had some insecurity when he looked at his peers. He felt that he still learnt too little and had to look for more sources to widen his knowledge. So he sometimes left the class late just to meet the dukun and asked many questions at them. He wasn't satisfied with himself and sometimes compared himself with others.

Core: Unicorn Hair (51/50)
This core always suited Lesmana from the start. Lesmana held moral values consistently, even avoiding casting any dark spells whether it was a small jinx, hex, or curse. Lesmana's consistency wasn't only in his moral values but also applied to his eagerness to learn and get more knowledge, especially in potions.

Length: 25 cm (64/50)
Personality-wise, Lesmana was in between pride and shyness at the same time. He was really proud when his spells or potions were successful, which fed his ego. But he also felt shy if someone the results of his hard work and the process behind it. He often took some time alone to sharpen his skills and knowledge, making sure no one knew his effort.

Flexibility: Reasonably Supple (55/50)
Lesmana was also in between flexible and sturdy. He was patient with any kind of mistakes. He had a high tolerance. He also showed kindness to those who make mistakes. But Lesmana wouldn't let it go anything that passed his morality limits. He would immediately take action, from a simple warning to a physical fight.

How he got the wand: (240)
Lesmana finally graduated from Tenūsa with satisfactory grades. His hard work paid off and he made his parents proud of him. The teenager finally had a rest time after a stressful period. One day, Wisnu approached him to ask about his wand. Lesmana didn't feel anything wrong with his current wand. However, he noticed that his wand sometimes didn't work fully whenever he didn't want to show off his work in class or when he ignored the challenge from his peers to duel if it wasted his allocated time to study.

Wisnu listened to him and brought him to his friend's house. He was a wandmaker in the village. Wisnu told Lesmana to pick a new wand that suited him the most. A bit surprised, Lesmana could only receive it. The wandmaker did some interviews with Lesmana and checked every core and wood that suited the boy until he found the right one: Willow Wood, Unicorn Hair Core, 25 cm, Reasonably Supple. He made all of the measurements and told Lesmana to come back in two weeks.

He did come back with his father to get his new wand. And when he tried it, the spells came out satisfying. Wisnu paid the wand. He told Lesmana that it was his graduation gift, a thing that he would need the most. Lesmana smiled and thanked his father. He was ready for his future adventure and what would he face and learn.
