My wand

Wand Length: 10 3/4 inches (the length of my forearm, plus half an inch)
Wand Flexibility: Only the tiniest bit of yield
Wand Wood: Spruce
Wand Core: Thestral hair

I was wandering in the forest one day and came back to my mother to tell her I'd made an imaginary friend. Well, I said invisible, but she assumed that meant it only existed in my head. 

It was actually thestral colt. It eventually rejoined its group, but that was after the day I went to get my wand, at ten years old. The wandmaker, Jimmy Kiddell, recognized that I was covered in thestral hair. He made several wands out of it, and had me test them- the ash wand agreed with me best. Kiddell told me "The wood was a bit crooked, but it just seemed to feel right". There is a slight corkscrewing to the shape of the wand. I usually keep my wand tucked into a strap in my left wrist, point towards my elbow. The wand itself also contains, embedded semi-naturally (well, okay, deliberately by Kidell) near the base, a small Mookaite stone. 

I keep my wand slipped into some elastic straps on my left arm. I seem to be the only one to notice this, but my wand tends to feel warm in my hand- everyone else tells me it feels icy, which is strange, since I store it close to my body.

My wand tends to work best at pranks and creative new spells- not so great at serious spellwork that requires precision. Or maybe I'm just blaming it for my own failures...
