Ilvermorny Aesthetics: Thunderbird

Named by Chadwick Boot after his favourite magical beast, the Thunderbird, a beast that can create storms as it flies. Thunderbird house is sometimes considered to represent the soul of a witch or wizard. It is also said that Thunderbird favours adventurers.

Okay but Thunderbirds: Thunderbird students climbing onto the school roof and having campfires, going exploring around the grounds on weekends, researching for crazy projects at 2:00am, inventing new spells with Horned Serpent students, teaching younger students how to do more advanced magic but taking the blame when they get in trouble, sending excited letters home to their parents about what they’ve done, confessing their love, less bold Thunderbirds taking smaller calculated risks, shyer ones taking the leap and making more friends, because adventure is different for everyone.
