Without work one finishes nothing.
The prize will not be sent to you.
You have to win it.”

They picked it from a list of the most popular names from the year before, wanting her to have a fairly common name to fit into her surroundings despite her very unusual heritage.

Wand
Length: 13in: A strange length for a wand and a number which symbolizes misfortune.
Style: Curly: Great care was taken in crafting this wand's wood to spiral to its point, giving it a beautiful aesthetic quality.
Wood: Black Walnut: Black Walnut wands are especially aware of self deception and may not perform as expected for a witch or wizard in a state of inner conflict. Self-aware and assured wizards will have found a powerful and loyal companion, however.
Core: Acromantula Web: The web of an acromantula is especially strong, so as a core it helps to add a punch to spells. It has been known to be useful for spells of a darker nature. Wands with this core would have no effect against a Basilisk or against a wand that had a core with a part of a Basilisk.
Flexibility: Rigid: A difficult wand to control and sometimes broken under little force, but powerful in a fight.

Qualities
Your Patronus: Black and White Cat
Your Patronus memory: Surfing at her favorite beach just as the sun starts to set.
Your Boggart: Her own corpse

First Year​

Sorting Post: Ellie Tsai had never left the islands of Hawaii until just before this school year started. She never thought much about traveling and in truth it scared her slightly getting into the floo network to come to New Zealand. First they had gone halfway from home to stop and visit a family relation for a few days and then came to New Zealand where she and her mother took part in the school ritual of gathering all the supplies she needed in Obsidian Harbour. It had been a long day of shopping and at the end she found a stray tuxedo kitten on the streets that she convinced her mom would make the perfect school pet. Looking around at all the first years surrounding her she wondered where her cat was, if he'd be up in her dorm room waiting and if the staff had put out food and water for him during this ceremony and dinner.

Ellie was nervous about the ceremony, she hadn't ever been judged so thoroughly before and she knew that where the hat put her would say everything it needed to about her inner most personality. She watched as the large doors opened into the Great Hall ahead of her. Everyone seemed to start shuffling forward and all the current students were seated at their house tables and watching. It didn't make her feel uncomfortable having their eyes on her. She waited as words were said even though she hardly paid attention, glancing around the room and at the faces around her. Seven years she'd have to be friends or enemies with these people, she wondered how well it would go. Finally her name was called, "Tsai, Ellie." Ellie lifted the robe that was slightly too long for her away from her feet as she climbed the stairs up to the stool where the hat and the person reading their names was waiting. Sitting down the hat came over her face, she was glad at least then she wouldn't need to see everyone's expression when it called out her house. It seemed to take a moment but then she finally heard the hat saying something....
