Hometown: Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa

Birthplace: Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa
Blood Status: Unknown
Wand: Curved 14 Inch Rigid Ash 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: Bending to its side, this wand is more difficult to aim than its straighter counterparts but provides character that some simply cannot pass by.
Wood: ''Ash is Stubborn,' as the saying goes. Ash wands bond to their owner and do not do well in the hands of others. The master of an Ashen wand may well be stubborn, but arrogance and pride will be met with a wand that is even more stubborn than the wizard!
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: Rigid: A difficult wand to control and sometimes broken under little force, but powerful in a fight.

Personality: Tadgh is fiercely independent as a result of his largely unsupervised childhood, and hates having others do things for him. He tends often to see his friends as his wards, deciding he knows what's best for them and insisting they do as he says for better or worse. He can be intense and rarely knows where to stop, often pushing situations too far without realising he's crossed a line. That said, though he can be grouchy and overbearing, Tadgh loves the people in his life deeply, and would do just about anything for them. He never hesitates to throw himself into any situation, no matter how stupid it is to do so, and often bites off more than he can chew. Deep down though, above all, Tadgh is secretly terrified - terrified of pain, of losing people, of the dangers of the world. Taking control of his life and the lives of the people around him is his way of defending himself, and often leads him into situations he's completely unprepared to handle.
Strengths:
-Tadgh's loyalty and dedication to protecting and caring for the people he loves makes him a great friend.
-Tadgh's experience caring for himself makes him confident when going into unknown situations that he knows well how to handle himself.
-Tadgh isn't afraid to take risks when it's important, and will often do the hard thing nobody else will.
Weaknesses:
-Tadgh's vibe can be unpleasant and overbearing, which often pushes people away from actually getting to know him.
-Tadgh very rarely knows when to stop, and can push things too far out of hubris or ignorance.
-Tadgh is deeply insecure and afraid of losing everything important to him, and this makes him delicate in some ways.
Hobbies:
Reading - Tadgh has often had very little to do at home other than read, since they couldn't afford things like games systems. He grew up glued to his library card, and is usually tearing through piles of books at any given moment.
Karate - Karate classes are the only extracurricular activity his father could ever afford for him and he relished it, both the discipline of the practice and the knowledge that he can handle himself in a fight if needs be.
Cooking - While he started cooking young out of necessity when his father was out of the house, Tadgh has developed a real enjoyment for it, and likes figuring out ways to do a lot with a little.
Cycling - His bicycle is how Tadgh usually gets around his area, and he enjoys the feeling of a breeze in his hair as he travels.

History: Tadgh was born in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland as the result of a one night stand. His father found out that he existed when a baby showed up on his doorstep, and the mother disappeared into the night. He hadn't been prepared to raise a child in the slightest, and definitely didn't have the income to do so. He did his best, but the effort to keep his son fed kept him out of the house a lot. Tadgh was left home alone far more often and far younger than he should have been, and learned early to fend for himself. He grew up doing things like cooking his own meals and spending afternoons and evenings alone, either exploring the city or hanging out at home alone.

Health: Tadgh has a slightly dodgy ankle, which he broke when he was nine trying to teach himself parkour.

Tadgh gripped his hands into tight fists by his sides to conceal their shaking, teeth gritted hard in his mouth. He wasn't gonna show an ounce of weakness with so many eyes on him, getting their first impressions. He could tell some of the first years around him were jittering with nerves and he wasn't gonna be one of them. He was here, he was ready, and he was gonna be just fine. He kept his eyes locked ahead on the singing hat, ignoring the what felt like hundreds of eyes on his group, older students no doubt sizing up which of these new kids would be easiest to pick on. Well, it wasn't gonna be him.

The hat's stupid song felt like it went on forever, and Tadgh buzzed with desperation to just get this over and done with and take his place with whatever group he was put in. It felt stupid to him, splitting everyone up to force rivalries among what should be a peer group, but... whatever. If he was gonna be put in a group, he just wanted to hurry up and get on with it. Finally the names of his classmates began being read off, and it was hardly any time until-

"Devlin, Tadgh!"

Tadgh swallowed down a fresh bubble of anxiety and clenched his fists tighter as he elbowed his way out of the group of first years, barging across the room to the stool and dropping down on it. He couldn't help flinching in a moment of panic as the hat slipped down over his eyes, a hastily strangled curse word slipping out loud enough that the teachers had definitely heard it. Oops. Well, there was no taking it back now, so Tadgh just sat in place, waiting to get this over and done with so people would stop staring at him.

"You have a code of ethics that you abide strongly to which would fit in quite well with the Hufflepuffs, but there's more there that...hmm, let me dig a little deeper...oh, that's right. No, Hufflepuff won't do. Better be...Gryffindor!"
