WAND-Wood- Hawthorn- The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’ While I disagree with many of Gregorovitch’s conclusions, we concur about hawthorn wands, which 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.
Core- Unicorn hair-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.
Length-13 ¼ inches
Flexibility- surprisingly swishy
PERSONALITY- Jane is sweet to those she likes but is very centered on herself and her needs. She is strong willed.
BIO- Jane is the youngest child of a Senator. Odd things were always happening when she wanted something. When she got her letter, it was a relief that nothing was really wrong with her. Her older sister, Wendy though, was incredibly jealous and looked down on Jane because of her powers. Because of this, Jane subconsciously looks for a new older sister figure. She finds this in Jasmine. One thing that is odd about Jane is that she is the first Muggle born student to be sorted into Vulpe in a century making her special in every way which she loves.
Jane loves her muggle music, so she got someone to enchant her i-pod allowing her to use it on the school grounds.
MAGICAL TRAIT- Jane will find that she is very good with charms and curses.
