Meet the Character
🔥Name: Arsonus Ardis
🔥Gryffindor, Year Two
🔥Birthday: March 31st (Aries)
🔥 Nationality: Sutherford, Scotland
🔥Blood Status: Muggleborn
🔥Height: Arsonus is quite tall, especially for a second year. He was nearly two heads taller than the rest of the first years, standing out during the Sorting, where the hat nearly fell off his head shouting “GRYFFINDOR!” so loudly.
🔥Body Type: skinny, lean, toned
🔥Hair: His curls are tight ringlets, in a darker pink than his cousin.
🔥Eyes: warm green
🔥Wand: Sycamore, Phoenix feather, thirteen and a quarter inch, very pliable
The sycamore made a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It was a quirk of these handsome wands that they might combust if allowed to become 'bored', and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, were disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they asked it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore's ideal owner was curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrated a capacity to learn and adapt that earned it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods.
Phoenix feather wands were capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may have taken longer to reveal this. They showed the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards disliked. They were the most picky about potential owners, their allegiance was usually hard won and they were the most difficult to tame and personalise.

🔥Face Claim: Lox Pratt
Arsonus wants to be just like his idol, his cousin Tobias Ardis, who he sees as a faring, roguish type, despite Tobias’ relaxed demeanor. Like his cousin, Arsonus was born with pink hair, although his is a darker more brunette tone rather than soft pink. They are both able to manifest a unique form of magic, similar in theory to ancient magic, known as wild magic. Wild magic for Arsonus comes as spontaneous explosions and fires erupting upon his opponents.
Arsonus auditions for Quidditch at the start of his second year but is told he wasn't ready to “play with others”. He tends to bend or ignore the rules in attempts to boast his public perception from his peers. He is known as a dare devil, even swearing to get a tattoo in Hogsmeade in his third year as a dare. Professor Weasley scolds him for always trying to make himself the center of attention by risking his own safety. He is a regular in the Hospital Wing, rued by Nurse Blainey, as well as banned from the library until further notice.
He is great friends with Garreth Weasley despite their age gap. Other than alongside the other second years, he can be found with Maxi and Carina Savage, or Elian and Gilbert Blythe, befriending his cousin’s older friends.
His wand struggled to produce any real magic, effecting his grades gravely, unless his life is in danger. Then his wand will cast a spell necessary to save his life. He is usually quite argumentative with his wand, slapping it to his thigh or a table, only for it to belch out sparks or spit out molten magic.
I had to steal Lox Pratt as my face claim for this guy. He deserves a role as a good guy for once.
“If they won’t let me on the Quidditch team,” Arsonus shouts from the top of the Charms Wing, down to the small gathering of doe-eyed Gryffindor younglings standing on the lawns. “—then I will make sure no one can! I am prepared to jump from here! *ohshitherecomesprofessorkigowa* NO! MAKE ME—you said I don’t play well with others! After this, there won’t be a broom left for anyone to play with!”
Madam Kigowa stares unimpressed at him, hands on hips. “Don’t make me dirty my gloves wiping your guts off the that pile of school brooms! It would cost less than one month’s wages for me to replace them all.”
Arsonus gapes down at her. “T-that… YOURE GOING TO REGRET THIS! Tobi, this is for you, cousin! Keep our family strong when I’m gone!”
“Oh, spare me kid! Get down from—oh, stuff me? So this kid wishes to die, BE MY GUEST!”
Arsonus did jump, after ten minutes more of bickering with Madam Kigowa. He broke two bones in his arms and snapped one school broom. He is permanently banned from playing Quidditch until his fifth year, and from the roofs of the castle.
