Hometown: Ngāmotu, Aotearoa
Birthplace: Taumarunui, Aotearoa
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Straight 16 1/2 Inch Sturdy Cypress Wand with Erumpent Hide Core

Length: A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.
Style: Straight and smooth: what else is there to say?
Wood: A Cypress wand finds valour in the witches and wizards it chooses - so much so that the owners of Cypress wands have historically been expected to die an honourable death. This wand is for the brave and self-sacrificing.
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.
Flexibility: Sturdy: A solid wand for any witch or wizard - easy to use, and highly dependable.

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Personality: Rāwhiti is a cheerful, laid-back person at pretty much all times. He can be extremely passionate when engaging in activities that are important to him, but he tries not to be overwhelming when others aren't feeling the same way, and when he's spending time with others who prefer quiet he's perfectly happy to just catch their wavelength and go along with them. He's passionate about protecting the people around him and standing up for others when he can, and often takes meeker friends under his wing for their protection. Rāwhiti is difficult to upset and difficult to offend, and makes an excellent companion for almost all purposes.

Strengths:
-Rāwhiti is very personable and good at making others feel comfortable around him. He makes friends easily with people who are very different to him by connecting to their energies rather than trying to make them follow his.
-Rāwhiti is extremely athletic and as a result he's very fit and isn't afraid to use his physical strength to help others if they need it.
-Rāwhiti is extremely passionate about his interests, and finds it easy to learn just about everything about a subject that interests him
Weaknesses:
-Rāwhiti can sometimes take too much of a relaxed attitude, and fail to give weight to things that really need it.
-Rāwhiti tends to pick one focus and neglect the rest of his life, too fixated on the one goal he's chosen to set.
-Rāwhiti is bad at picking sides when people he likes are disagreeing, and will often try to encourage people to let go of things they oughtn't.
Hobbies:
Rugby - Rāwhiti has played rugby his whole life and is a huge fan of the game.
Music - Rāwhiti grew up in a very musical family, and is decent at the guitar and singing, though he doesn't share the same musical ambitions as his older brother.
Quidditch - Rāwhiti has always loved backyard Quidditch, and has followed the professional leagues his whole life, attending as many games as he possibly can and collecting Quidditch magazines and figurines.
Fishing - Rāwhiti grew up with his father taking him on fishing trips from time to time, and as a result he's a confident fisherman and decent swimmer.

Personality Type: ESFP (The Entertainer)
If anyone is to be found spontaneously breaking into song and dance, it is the Entertainer personality type. Entertainers get caught up in the excitement of the moment, and want everyone else to feel that way, too. No other personality type is as generous with their time and energy as Entertainers when it comes to encouraging others, and no other personality type does it with such irresistible style.

Strengths: Bold, Original, Aesthetics and Showmanship, Practical, Observant, Excellent People Skills
Weaknesses: Sensitive, Conflict-Averse, Easily Bored, Poor Long-Term Planners, Unfocused

History: Rāwhiti comes from a happy home, the second of three. His parents made a point to encourage their children's interests and passions at every turn, and Rāwhiti grew up confident in his abilities and with strong trust in himself. He has had a passion for sports and athletics from an early age, and began playing rippa rugby when he was only five. His childhood was largely happy, filled with a lot of friends and close relationships with his whānau, though things changed dramatically when Rāwhiti was nine and his father announced that he had been having an affair, and was leaving the family to be with his new partner. Devastated, Rāwhiti threw himself even more into his hobbies and relentless cheerfulness to hide that anything was wrong. He was especially crushed by not being able to rely on his usually supportive older brother, who was struggling with the experience by retreating into himself. This only made Rāwhiti more determined to be cheerful, to take on that role of keeping people happy.
Health: Rāwhiti is very fit and generally in good health, though he has several scars from accidents playing rugby over the years.

Fears: Becoming injured in a way that would prevent him from following his dreams

Rāwhiti had been looking forward to Hogwarts for a long time, and he was ecstatic to finally arrive. He had dreams and goals from day 1, and almost from the beginning his hopes began to be dashed. Rāwhiti had known that making the Quidditch team as a first year was a lofty goal, but it was his destiny. And yet, he was rejected. He still made Quidditch a big part of his life though, practicing whenever he could and doing what he could to make time with the Hogwarts players and families of professionals he could track down.​
Rāwhiti almost couldn't believe he was finally actually here. He had been hearing about Hogwarts from Auntie Kahu and Manaia for years now, and it was finally his turn to walk the halls. He'd barely been able to contain his excitement the whole train trip over, and now here he was, and here he'd be for the next seven years of his life. He took in everything as the group made their way to the Great Hall - the moving staircases, the portraits, every little detail that was going to become a regular part of his Hogwarts life.

As they entered the Great Hall he stuck close to Emery, but looked around quickly for his whānau - he spotted Manaia at the Hufflepuff table first and waved enthusiastically to his brother, then spotted Ngawaiata at the Slytherin table and greeted her too before looking for Auntie Kahu. There she was at the teachers table, looking far more serious than he had ever seen her before. Rāwhiti waved to her and beamed when the serious look cracked at once, his auntie smiling and waving back to him. He turned his attention back to the Headmistress when she spoke, only half-listening to her speech and the hat's song. It was all exciting, but he couldn't quite suppress the eagerness for his own turn. His attention drifted again as the sorting began, and he cursed how late in the alphabet the letter T fell. Emery was called first and he clapped his friend on the shoulder before he headed up to the hat, watching in excitement. And then before long it was finally, finally his turn.

"Te Rangi, Rāwhiti."

Rāwhiti practically scrambled out of the group, legging it across the room and onto the stool. His turn had finally come, and the sooner he could find out who his new housemates were, the better. He did feel a little guilty about his goals - while he knew he should probably be hoping to be with Manaia or Ngawaiata, or in Auntie Kahu's house, Rāwhiti had his own goals. Gryffindor was the house of heroes, of Quidditch legends, of so many amazing people. The thought of joining them, of making his own legacy away from his family was an appealing one, and the thought circled in his mind as the hat settled on his head and slid almost all the way in front of his eyes.

"So, you desire to make your own history, you desire to be a hero? Which with your desire for adventure makes this choice very easy indeed.....Gryffindor,"

Although he was glad to be back at school, Rāwhiti's second year was another disappointment. He was once again turned away from the Quidditch team, the bright career he had seen in his future sliding away from him at every turn. He tried to look on the bright side and focus on time with friends and whānau, one highlight being the three-legged race.​

After years of waiting, Rāwhiti's year began with a triumph - he was finally accepted into the Gryffindor Quidditch team. It was only an alternate position, but he was thrilled nonetheless to finally be where he knew he was supposed to be, and set his sights on learning everything he could from Elara, so he could succeed her when she graduated. Other than the focus on Quidditch, Rāwhiti spent most of the year with Emery as usual, doing his best to pry his no-nonsense friend out of his shell. Valentines was a particular excitement as he enjoyed delivering roses to his classmates, spreading love around the castle.​
