Welcome to another AWESOME #FanFriday and welcome to Auror HQ!
This past week we shot a variety of important scenes at the NY Auror Headquarters. There were many performers on set, but for many of our principal characters it was their first encounter with the sprawling grounds of Hempstead House, the home of our very own castle headquarters. Here are some stills from the shoot and an introduction to a never-before-revealed character played by the wonderful & talented Lindsay Goranson. We hope this will get you through until next week when we have even MORE FanFriday goodies to show you.
WAND: Bloodwood & Oak, Dragon Heartstring (see below)
OCCUPATION: Senior Officer
BIO: Krysta is the elder of the Steelwing sisters and an efficient Auror. She was raised in Missouri and educated in a private magical academy in Louisiana, The New Orleans Institute for the Magic Arts. Her parents were very supportive of her and saw to it that she received the very finest magical education, but certainly pressured her into considering nothing but the most prestigious sort of careers. Krysta wanted very badly to become a healer, but found she had more of a knack for Defense Against the Dark Arts, as opposed to potions and charms. When the prospect of pursuing a career as an Auror was brought to her, she became passionate about law enforcement. Her parents were divorced halfway through her time at The New Orleans Institute for the Magic Arts and her mother relocated to New York. Krysta sought her job there, after graduating, and was accepted on to the force. While in the city she met and married her wife, Guinevere. Krysta is soft spoken, yet a vicious, brutal duelist. Since she is exceptionally gifted in combat, she is often sent on the most perilous missions the office has to offer. While her temperament is typically mild and polite, if anything poses a threat to a family member, she becomes dangerously defensive.
Krysta Steelwing. Bloodwood & Oak. 15 1/2 inches. Essence of Dragon Heartstring.
Useful in divination, Bloodwood is said to reveal secrets of both the past and future and to aid its possessor in understanding the given knowledge. Oak has always been respected and admired for its strength and size, representing endurance and power. Because it is often struck by lightning, it has become associated with having the ability to attract inspiration, wisdom and illumination.
