The Harry Potter wiki has been an absolute MVP for me! They have a page on wands and even the materials they're made from and their effects! I can't remember the exact materials I used for Altair but they were ingredients that worked best with someone "who is truthful with themselves". And he's not...

Wand

A wand was a quasi-sentient magical instrument through which a witch or wizard channelled their magical powers to centralise the effects for more complex results.[3] Most spells were cast with the aid of wands, but spells could be cast without the use of wands. Although wandless magic was more...

The wiki/fandom site is SO helpful!! I've been educating myself all about lycanthropy, quidditch, beauxbaton houses and classes using it! It's just that the list of wand woods and wand cores are so extensive that I got overwhelmed by all the different options and possible combinations and was hoping there would be like a quiz so the wand could choose him instead of me choosing the wand but if there isn't, I'll just suck it up and do the hard work!

Pyroclast Excellent question! I chose pine for Vasu because one of his hobbies is inventing new spells, and the Pottermore description for pine wands is that they enjoy being used creatively and adapt well to new magic. I chose phoenix feather for him partly because that was the core I got when I took the wand quiz lol, but also because he enjoys singing and theater, which I associated with songbirds. For Cha-Cha I chose a vampire fang core--which is hella rare--to represent the isolation he feels from society. His wand is black walnut as an allusion to his history with the Dark Arts.

Updated Auguste's CS to include his Beauxbatons house, his wand type, his quidditch position, his favourite (and least favourite) classes, MBTI type, moral alignment, and a...poorly-put-together playlist of songs that imo fit his aesthetic.

That's so creative and thoughtful!! I've given Auguste an English oak wand with Curupira hair core (with help from Tobiornottobi's quiz and Sanctuary's recommendation!) but I may alter it if I feel like researching more deeply!

 

[Pyroclast]

Added Auguste's personality

Okay, Auguste's history is up, which means his CS is complete now! Aviator at your approval

Pyroclast Auguste is accepted! Oh my goodness, my heart reaches out to your lovable, broken bean, and I can't wait to plot with him!
