Wood: A wand best suited for a warrior-type, Blackthorn wands bond most strongly to their owners after going through adversity.
Core: Erumpent hide cores help to create unstable and unreliable wands. It tends to add quite the punch to spells, making them more powerful than they should be at the most inopportune of moments.

Personality: Holden is an extremely reserved person, and has not just a dislike but an outright fear of allowing others too close. He lashes out at the slightest provocation, temper on a hair-trigger, and will fight anyone over anything, any time. The loss of his mother when he was young left him with a lot of feelings he didn't know how to handle, and his preferred outlet is to take them out on others. He's not inherently a mean person despite that, and genuinely only wants the best for the people he does care for, but he doesn't know any way of dealing with his feelings other than to lash out. His impulse control isn't the best, and it often gets him in trouble. He has quite a dry sense of humour and sarcasm comes to him easily. He's quite a curious person, though he doesn't like showing it around others, and likes to keep his things organised. Holden struggles a bit with his self-worth, and finds himself insecure a lot of the time.
Strengths:
-Holden is very passionate about the things that matter to him, and won't hesitate to defend his people.
-Holden is a very independent person, and has never had any trouble taking care of himself when he needs to.
Weaknesses:
-Holden's temper is his biggest weakness, damaging his relationships and getting him into trouble on a regular basis.
-Holden's desire for independence can lead him to unhealthy or suboptimal ways of doing things, which he could have avoided with help.
Hobbies:
Rugby - Holden has played rugby for as long as he can remember, and it's by far his favourite outlet for his feelings.
Dirtbiking - Holden's rugby friends introduced him to dirtbiking, and he loves to go whenever he can.
Graffiti - Holden likes leaving his mark on the world, whether caretakers/janitors approve or not.
Reading - Holden is private about his passion for reading, something he picked up from his older sister, and she tends to be the only person he's comfortable talking about books with.

Personality Type: INFJ (The Advocate)
Advocates may be the rarest personality type of all, but they certainly leave their mark on the world. Idealistic and principled, they aren’t content to coast through life – they want to stand up and make a difference. For Advocate personalities, success doesn’t come from money or status but from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world.
Strengths: Creative, Insightful, Principled, Passionate, Altruistic
Weaknesses: Sensitive to Criticism, Reluctant To Open Up, Perfectionistic, Avoiding The Ordinary, Prone To Burnout

History: Holden grew up in Australia, the youngest of two siblings. He had a fairly normal early childhood, tragically interrupted when his mother died two years before he was due to start at Hogwarts. His father had never been especially active in his upbringing, and Holden lost the majority of his support all at once. While he was still coming to terms with his grief, Holden discovered that his father had an entire other family he had never told them about, with two older sons and an ex-wife. Holden reacted to the news with extreme bitterness, and has struggled with anger issues he can't control well since his mother's passing.
Health: Holden is in decent health, though he has a few scars from old rugby injuries.

Holden hadn't expected what a relief it would be to actually be at Hogwarts. The suffocating presence of his dad flailing to learn how to be a parent, and his half-brothers fighting each other at any given opportunity had made the last year beyond overwhelming without Penny to keep things cool. Finally, Holden could breathe. He wasn't looking forward to his older sister breathing down his neck at school and no doubt telling him off constantly, but anything had to be better than his dad.

Plus, the school itself was massive. Much bigger than Holden had expected. He had to pause for a moment as the group of first years entered the Great Hall, just taking in everything he was seeing. The enchanted ceiling, the floating candles, the hundreds of faces sat at tables. He caught Penny's eye at the Hufflepuff table and gave her a quick smile before looking away, not wanting her to fuss over him from a distance. As much as he loved his sister, Holden already knew he did not want to be in her House.
The ceremony itself quickly drew his attention as the Headmaster spoke and the hat began to sing. Having heard about this was one thing, but seeing it himself was another entirely. Holden couldn't help thinking this was all actually... pretty cool, even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone. His classmates began to be called one by one and Holden grew impatient, frustrated at how far down the alphabet his name fell.

"Marshall, Holden."

And there it was. Taking a breath to steel himself, Holden stalked up to the stool and sat down, gut twisting with discomfort as he saw the hundreds of faces staring. At him. It was an uncomfortable feeling, knowing there would be such a large audience to the probing of the deepest depths of his mind. But then the hat slid down far enough to cover his eyes, and he was alone with nothing but his thoughts and the hopes that this would be over quickly.

"Don't you worry, I might be probing into your mind in front of all these people, but I won't tell anyone. Better, too, as you hope this will be over quickly since, this is very clear. You could have adapted anywhere, but enjoy..... Gryffindor,"
