Core: One of the rarest of wands cores, thestral hair is not to be taken lightly as a wand core. Thestral hair is a tricky ingredient to work with and will not just bond with any caster. This core works best for people who have faced death in the past. Because of the fears of the creature from which it comes, rumours have abounded that thestral hair wands have no allegiance to the wand's caster.
Wood: An excellent wand wood for healing and non-verbal magic, the wielder of a Willow wand more often than not has an something about themselves which makes them insecure unnecessarily.

Insecure | Defensive | Awkward | Determined | Aggressive

Cameron prefers to hurt first rather than let himself be hurt and comes across very prickly and defensive, his own insecurities making him react hostility first rather than leaving himself open to looking stupid or being vulnerable. He prefers situations where he can be in control and tends to achieve this by trying to cut down or invalidate those around him. That being said, Cameron still desperately craves the approval of those around him, he just doesn't quite have the social skills to get the friends and attention he wants. When he inevitably puts his foot in his mouth and it blows up in his face, Cameron retreats further and further into his own thorny shell.

When around those he's more comfortable with however, Cameron can be very social, eager to share things he knows or is excited about. It can be hard to get to this point however, as Cameron plays his own passions close to his chest and has a tendency to hold a grudge. Once slighted, he won't forgive or relax easily.

Strengths : Steadfast, Protective
Weaknesses : Pessimistic, Quick to Anger, Stubborn
Likes : Photography, Electronics/Mechanics, Licorice
Dislikes : Feeling left out, Gobstones, Floo powder

The son of a muggle woman and a wizard, Cameron's father died when he was very young, leaving Cameron with a magical legacy he had no idea how to fulfill. His mother had always admired and loved the magical side of her husband and once he passed, she ensured Cameron was still connected to the magical side of his family, often trying using Cameron as a link to the partner she'd lost. He's been told how much he takes after his father, though Cameron can't remember enough to know if this is true. Instead, he's always felt disconnected from his father and from magic. He showed no signs of magical talent as a child, and despite remaining in contact with the magical world even with his mostly muggle upbringing, Cameron feels like he was failing to live up to the expectations of his family.

In 2059 after struggling constantly in class, Cameron finally retired his father's hand-me-down wand and purchased his own.

"If you did face the other way, I don't think anyone would mind....but not to worry, I'll be very quick.....Slytherin,"
Cameron had spent so long building up Hogwarts in his mind his first almost felt anti-climatic once he was finally there. Still, he'd managed to make a few close friends out of the likes of Margo and Isadora before school, and despite being sorted in Slytherin and away from them, the trio managed to stay close.
Cameron spent most of his first year getting his bearings, disappointed to find his rather lackluster track record with magic had followed him into school as well and reflected quite obviously in his very poor grades, something he was warned he'd need to improve going into his second year.

Cameron's struggles with magic continued into his second year at Hogwarts, much to his frustration, the break not having magically fixed his inability to perform even basic spells without a lot of work. His grades still suffered and Cameron found himself barely scraping by once again. With only Accio! to help distract him, Cameron soon found an excellent outlet for his frustration in the form of pestering Aine Thompson, a girl in his year he couldn't bring himself to leave alone. Things with Aine came to ahead when Cameron lost spectacularly to her in the school duelling tournment, followed by a tentative truce when the pair managed to apologize to each other while sitting in the Hospital Wing afterwards. Whether Aine can truly become an actual friend however remains to be seen.

Just like Isadora and Margo, Cameron was excited to start new classes at school as an official Third Year but unfortunately it seemed Cameron's school year was destined to be more of the same, complete with difficulties in class and more fighting with Aine. In fact the more Cameorn saw Aine, the more inexplicably strong feelings he seemed to have, no matter how much he tried (and failed) to ignore her. The year ended however on a truly sour note when Isadora received a letter from her parents announcing she would be transferring to a different school next year, leaving their friend group at a loss as what to do without her.

Cameron spent most of his fourth year in his own head. He felt Isadora's absence keenly and with no target to direct his feelings towards, Cameron took out his anger on Isadora herself, ignoring her and refusing to reach out via letter despite both missing each other. Cameron's lackluster schooling also came to ahead this year, with his professors finally pressing on him the importance of doing well next year and that perhaps maybe his wand was to blame more than his own dubious magical abilities, something Cameron sought to remedy once the holidays began.

Fifth year saw the return of Isadora back to Hogwarts, something which should have been a happy occassion for Cameron and his friend group but which quickly deteriorated into a public argument when her and Isadora were unable to reconcile each others' hurt feelings from her absence the mutual lack of contact last year. Instead, Cameron was surprised to find understanding from an unlikely source, getting closer with Aine and managing to bury a level of animosity enough for the pair to be considered something almost like friends. Cameron's OWL year was a struggle, but things were vastly improved with Cameron's new wand, though it had come with something of an ominous warning when Cameron brought it.

After making up with Isadora near the end of last year and his new wand behaving well enough for Cameron to at least pass his classes, things seemed pretty settled for Cameorn's sixth year. He even managed to secure a girlfriend in the likes of Veronique Chatelain, a strange relationship without much chemistry which Cameron saw fit to end at the Yule Ball once Veronique's eccentricities and pushiness finally became too much for him.
