Knotted 15 Inch Rigid Acacia Wand with Basilisk Skin Core

A SINGLE DIARY ENTRY​

1st September, 2063 Being an Auror is great, but I think I want something a little different. Zena's one this year, and honestly I want to be doing something that is a little less of a problem should I get into trouble. I love being an Auror, but I don't want either Zena or Danika to be without a father. That just wouldn't work out well for me. So I think I want to find something else to do, and I'm going to move my family to New Zealand to do it. Sign off ♥

Appearance Details​

Basic Appearance
Ben has a naturally striking look that feels effortlessly put-together, even when he’s not trying. He has an undeniable magnetism that turns heads wherever he goes—a subtle, enchanting aura that makes people stop and take notice. He's of slightly taller height, standing at 6'2 with a lean, athletic build, his movements are fluid and graceful, almost like there’s a natural rhythm to everything he does. His fair skin seems to catch the light in just the right way, giving him an almost ethereal glow that sets him apart even in a crowd.

There’s a certain perfection to his features, an almost otherworldly symmetry that hints at his Veela heritage. His cheekbones are high and sharply defined, his jawline strong yet softened enough to keep him approachable. Combined with his innate charm, it’s hard not to be drawn in, whether he’s smiling or simply standing quietly in a room. His presence carries an air of allure that feels both natural and unintentional—he doesn’t have to try to captivate attention; it simply happens.

His aura is subtly hypnotic, making him the type of person people feel inexplicably comfortable around, while also leaving a lasting impression long after he’s gone. Even when he’s dressed casually or trying to keep a low profile, Benjamin can’t help but stand out, thanks to the magical charisma coursing through his Veela bloodline.

Resemblance to Parents
Ben takes after both his parents in striking ways, but his Veela heritage from his mother, Danika, adds an almost otherworldly allure to his appearance. From his mother, he inherited her glowing complexion, captivating charisma, and the subtle ethereal quality that makes his presence hard to ignore. Her high cheekbones and full, expressive lips are mirrored in his features, giving him a soft but undeniably magnetic appeal.

From his father, Ben got his strong jawline and sharp facial structure, as well as the slight mischievousness in his smile. His father’s laid-back confidence is evident in the way Ben carries himself, while his mother’s Veela grace smooths his every movement. The blend of his parents' features creates a balance of rugged masculinity and enchanting beauty.

Hairstyle and Type
Ben's thick, dark brown hair is one of his standout features, inherited from his father but with his mother’s natural softness. It falls into loose, slightly tousled waves that always seem perfectly imperfect, giving him a casual, effortless look. Whether he runs his hands through it or lets it fall naturally, it always looks like it was styled with intention, even when it wasn’t. The strands catch the light subtly, adding an almost luminous quality to his appearance.

Eyes
His hazel-green eyes are mesmerising, a direct inheritance from his mother. The Veela influence adds a depth and intensity to their color, making them shift slightly in tone depending on the light—sometimes a bright, piercing green, other times a warm, golden hazel. His gaze is captivating, often holding a curious, thoughtful quality that draws people in, as if he’s seeing something deeper than what’s on the surface. The natural sparkle in his eyes is complemented by thick, dark lashes that give him an almost dreamlike look.

Smile
Ben's smile is the perfect mix of charm and warmth. From his father, he inherited the cheeky, lopsided grin that hints at a playful side, while his mother’s Veela magic gives it a disarming, almost hypnotic quality. It’s the kind of smile that makes people feel special, as if it’s meant just for them, and it always seems to light up the room. Whether it’s a full, broad grin or a subtle smirk, his smile never fails to leave an impression.

Personality
Ben is a natural charmer with a magnetic personality, effortlessly drawing people in with his Veela allure and easygoing demeanour. He’s confident and self-assured, but not in an overbearing way—his charm is subtle, and he often uses humor and wit to connect with others.

Strengths

• Charisma: He has an innate ability to make people feel seen and appreciated, which often helps him navigate tricky social situations or inspire trust. His Veela heritage enhances this natural charm, making him a skilled communicator and negotiator.

Flaws

• Fatal Flaw: Overconfidence—Benjamin often assumes he can charm or think his way out of any situation, which can lead him to underestimate challenges or take unnecessary risks.
• Major Flaws:
  • Impulsivity: He sometimes acts before fully considering the consequences, especially if his curiosity or sense of adventure takes over.
  • Difficulty trusting deeply: While he’s great at making connections, he struggles with fully opening up to others, fearing vulnerability.
  • Restlessness: He has a hard time staying in one place or committing to long-term plans, constantly seeking new experiences or distractions.
• Minor Flaws:
  • Tendency to tease or joke when situations call for seriousness.
  • Can be a bit of a show-off, especially when he feels the need to impress someone.
  • Easily bored with routine or mundane tasks.

Values and Driving Force
Ben values freedom, authenticity, and connection. He is driven by a desire to explore the world and understand it—whether that’s through meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, or uncovering untold stories. His Veela heritage gives him a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of life, but it also fuels his need to prove himself beyond his magical charm. He strives to be someone people admire for who he is, not just for his enchanting presence.
