WAND
Knotted 12 1/2 Inch Flexible Acacia Wand with Billywig Stinger Core
Wood: Acacia -
Known to keep its magic from all but its master, wands with Acacia wood are rare to see and incredibly difficult to work with - usually these wands are only used by the subtly powerful.

Billywig stingers make for temperate cores, but they are mildly useful when used to heal. Wands with this core tend to what they want to do, making them good for people who are flexible in nature.

Bossy | Headstrong | Competitive | Resourceful | Conscientious

A firm believer that if things are worth doing, they’re worth doing right, Amanita extends this philosophy to all factors of her life. She has her own strong internal compass and while she does her best to follow social norms and rules, she’ll not hesitate to break them if they clash with her own thoughts. Thoughts she will happily tell you about as she does so. After all, if you’re going to break the rules, you should be able to break them correctly as well.

Amanita likes things done her way and is very confident in her abilities, intelligence, and skills. She’s naturally talented and knowledgeable enough to pull this off amongst her peers but can be clouded by her own internal bias when challenged and is loath to be proved wrong. Priding herself in always knowing what to do and how to do it, she doesn’t hesitate to take charge of a situation and ‘help’ anyone who might be doing it wrong. Some might call her a know-it-all or bossy but she simply thinks this is a sign of a smart leader.

While clever and resourceful, Amanita is quick to overload and get frustrated when she doesn’t know something or is shown up by someone better than her. She likes being the one in charge and thinks herself the smartest in the room and does not do well when this idea is challenged. This tendency can make her fiercely competitive and quite spiteful and Ama is quick to resort to putting down others to make herself feel more secure or hold a grudge against anyone she perceives to have wronged her. It’s her way or the highway.

Diligent and loyal to her family and friends, Amanita often shows how she cares by taking over for them, or offering instructions or advice even if unasked for. Her way of caring is to make sure they’re doing it right. And by right, that means how she would do it, and mentally won’t hesitate to judge or deride someone for making the wrong decision in her eyes. Despite this, she still cares fiercely and won’t back down to help fix things or protect her loved ones. Even if she might have a few I told you so’s stored up while she does so.

The oldest daughter of Professor Angel Castillo and HNZ Nurse Josephine Arora, Amanita practically has Hogwarts (and Slytherin) in her blood. When it came to her schooling, there was no doubt about which house she was going to end up in.

Amanita grew up in a very magical household, enjoying her early years with one parent or the other around the Hogwarts NZ grounds. Once she got older (and her little sister, Morchella, was born), Amanita stopped spending time on school grounds and instead spent it at various tutors, daycare, or with her favourite aunt, Ella, whom she idolizes.

Her father's relaxed, sometimes careless attitude often leads Amanita to being the voice of reason when with her father. She takes pride in reminding him of important dates, rules, or stupid things he's done in the past to keep him on the straight and narrow. Angel appreciates her candor despite the bossiness. She is a monster of his own creation after all.

Amanita is far more like her mother, collected, proper, and focused on taking care of people. She emulates her mother on all things when she doesn't know what to do and takes great joy from earning her approval or attention.

With her sister, Amanita decided she was going to take care of her from day one. While the sisters clash from time to time, especially as Amanita gets older and craves her own independence, Amanita will always keep a weather eye on her sister and make sure she's safe, happy, and more important, doing things the right way.

In 2050, Amanita started her first year of Hogwarts NZ and was sorted into Slytherin.
