I saw people doing it and I wasn't tagged but I thought it was cute so :) Here

I'm doing a wand index of all of my OCs' wands. First part with Phoenix, Aspen, Achilles and Udelia, then I'll do one for the Silverwood siblings. Most if not all images were taken from Etsy.

Phoenix Nobleworth

Pearwood with Veela hair core and an amber stone for stability, 14'' and light flexibility.

"Pearwood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous, and the wise, also among the most resilient." Veela's hair core is known to be temperamental — which is why Olivander had trouble making Phoenix's wand, having to insert molten amber to the torn wand for stability. The hair came from one shed by his mother which they used to keep stored for such use.

For Phoenix's wand design I have too many ideas, first the runes predicting his passion for that field of magic, then the wand being torn then fixed with 'molten' then harden amber, being twisted. A way of showing Olivander worked his ass off to make a wand using the Veela hair - of his temperamental mother - and also Phoenix multifaceted personality.

Aspen Samwise

Ebony wood with Unicorn hair core, 11½", brittle flexibility.

Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual, or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. The ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.

Aspen's wand has a discreet kind of class to it, instead of the red on the picture, I imagine a deep dark green. Metal details to represent her classier side, yet solid and polished to represent her resilience.

Achilles Shepherd

Fir wood with dragon heartstring core, 12", stiff flexibility.

Often called ‘the survivor’s wand’, often owned by wizards who subsequently passed through mortal peril unscathed. There is no doubt that this wood, coming as it does from the most resilient of trees, produces wands that demand staying power and strength of purpose in their true owners, and that they are poor tools in the hands of the changeable and indecisive. Particularly suited to Transfiguration, and favor owners of focused, strong-minded and, occasionally, intimidating demeanor.

I imagine Achilles' wand to be somewhat crooked and yet neat, with rich details - different colors, textures, he later on adds a dragon leather handle. The irregularities in the wand represent the hurts of his past that crack his very controlled and sometimes clinical exterior.

Udelia Ripley

Acacia wood with fairy wing core, 11½", supple flexibility.

Owners of Acacia wands were generally subtle wizards, as wands made from this wood were generally unsuitable for what Ollivander termed "bangs-and-smells magic". Acacia was difficult to match with a wizard, as the wood generally refused to produce magic for anyone but their owners, but conversely, seemed to withhold their full power from all but the most gifted wizards

"This core makes for a light, airy wand, and is the absolute best for Charms. They also signify a connection to the mystic, so these wands, despite their relative rarity, are used by nearly half of known witches and wizards with the Sight. Despite their astounding strength in Charms, they are merely average in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, and will often fail at hexes altogether."

Safe to say her wand is the most elegant of them all and to nobody's surprise considering her elegant and classy personality. The blue is to resonate with her passion for astronomy and her Hogwarts house, Ravenclaw, sharp and angular edges to represent her inteligence. She'd hang something at the tip to add a little charm.

HPHM OC Profile ✧

Udelia Ripley

" Udelia was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but mess with her and it turns into a silver knife."

Nicknames: Delia, Deli, Dee, Lia, Rip

Gender: Female.

Birthday: 4th of November, 1971

Born: Surrey, England.

Ethnicity: English, Spanish, Germanic.

Blood status: Pureblood.

MBTI: ESTJ-A

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw.

APPEARANCE

Eyes: Lilac, natural, with dark ginger lashes.

Hair: Naturally ginger, long and curly sort of wavy. She likes styling it in various ways and enjoys trying new hairdos.

Height: She’s the tallest of her sisters something she hated for a long time cause it made her feel less feminine, but a few years into Hogwarts she notices.

• Caramel-brown skin with dark freckles.

• Throughout her childhood and early teens, due to her insecurity about her height and size, Udelia took very good care of herself with expensive creams and oils, detoxing diets, and beauty sleeps. All that gave her really good skin and hair.

• Her nails are always pristine and painted. She wears lots of jewelry regularly and looks like a walking constellation from all the precious stones.

MAGICAL ASPECTS

Wand: Acacia wood with fairy wing core, 11½", supple flexibility.

Owners of Acacia wands were generally subtle wizards, as wands made from this wood were generally unsuitable for what Ollivander termed "bangs-and-smells magic". Acacia was difficult to match with a wizard, as the wood generally refused to produce magic for anyone but their owners, but conversely, seemed to withhold their full power from all but the most gifted wizards.

"This core makes for a light, airy wand, and is the absolute best for Charms. They also signify a connection to the mystic, so these wands, despite their relative rarity, are used by nearly half of known witches and wizards with the Sight. Despite their astounding strength in Charms, they are merely average in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, and will often fail at hexes altogether." (.)

Patronus: Sooty Albatross - they have a nice wide wingspan, beautiful black feathers and a sideline on their beaks that makes it seem like they're smiling. Despite being a talented wizard she has never actually produced a corporeal apatronus.

Abilities: Her parents suspected she had the talent of sight as a youngster - like her older brother - but after meeting Trewlany, she shut off that ability as much a she could, afraid to become just as looney. So the ability became very stiff and she'll only have a weird dream once a year or so.

Boggart: Being unwated and ignored - taking the form of her family and friends turning their backs on her, whispering with each other things about her.

Riddikulus: They turn around previously hidding a surprise birthday party for her, with hats and a cake.

Amortentia: She smells Stargazer Lily fragrance her mother wears, Honey pudding, Petrichor (the earthy scentproduced when rain falls on dry soil), and fresh watermelon.

MISCELLANEOUS

Pets: A Cornish Rex cat, Pollux.

Things she always carries with her: Lip balm made from Mandrake sap, leather gloves, her wand, a locket with pictures of her siblings, a peacock quill, and a wax seal ring with her family's coat of arms.

Lucky Amulets: Her favorite jewelry - a lapis lazuli stone necklace, golden opal earrings, and a head chain with star shaped diamonds she wears on special occasions.

BEST FRIENDS

Udelia is a year older than the Jacob's siblings' crew so she isn't really friends with the squad, except maybe for Andre. I could see her commissioning him to design outfits for her and having afternoon tea in Ravenclaw common room.

She's been Ravenclaw's prefect while Bill was one as well and so they might've shared a few words every now and them, but never to the extent of becoming friends as they have pretty distinct personalities.

ACADEMICS

Favorite Classes:

Astronomy

Arithmancy

Transfiguration

Charms

Least Favorite:

Potions

Care of Magical Creatures

Flying

Favorite Professor: Professor McGonagall. She finds Minerva very classy and poise, and looks up to her very much.

Least Favorite: Professor Kettleburn. She understands he doesn't come from a bad place in his personality, it's just that he's not her kind of people and wished somebody more conscious was teaching thw class.

Quidditch: She gave up on her "quidditch carrer" right at the tryouts. Too much sweating and screaming and bugs swallowing involved and she preferred not.

Favorite Team: Whichever her older sister is playing for which were The Appleby Arrows for a short while after Hogwarts, then the Hollyhead Harpies for four years, and lastly Puddlemere United on which she got more established and popular than the previous teams.

(Sza really embodies how I imagined Udelia to look like)

Udelia is one of the newest OCs I came up with, and I'm still weaving her into the storyline, but something tells me she either knows or owns something my MC needs. She's also the wealthiest of all my OCs.

Indigo / Udelia / Achilles

Indigo's looking through one of Jacob's notebooks she found in his room trying to make sense of the mess he wrote... instead of studying for potions. Lizard made her adopt that snake.

Udelia spent all morning studying for her Transfiguration NEWT and at this point doesn't have energy to keep her eyes open. She's not an early bird but she tries.

Achilles is sketching his parents and crying like he usually does. He killed yet another plant and has alternative rock playing on his headphone. He has a Transfiguration essay due tomorrow and has barely writen the first paragraph. Once again he'll pull an all nighter.
