↯ VINEWOOD — 」
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Despite it's understood flexibility, the Rastian family was surprised to find that the
wood used in many of the wands within their members to be strangely rigid and
unyielding. Vinewood's flexible nature seemed to be something that ensured the
easiest use and accomdations. The family wished to be able to lend their wands
to any family member in need, should one arise. Ironically, the particular nature
of vinewood allowed them to do just that, as many of the members are extremely
confident in their magic. The concentration and assurance needed to wield the
wands of the Rastian family is incredible, and to fail to use one of these wands
means the individual does not measure up to the expectations set before them.
↯ HIPPOGRIFF FEATHER — 」
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Hippogriffs are noble animals with a reputation for not taking a slight. These wands
require constant respect, and if the wielder does not give it, they can its formerly
stable and versatile magic backfire on it. It is not the strongest core, but it is one
of the most adaptable. Though rarely used, the Rastian family has a running tally
of the many family members who have shown great strength and skill with wands
of hippogriff feather cores, and Sonya was not an exception to this expectation.
↯ 12 & 1/4 INCHES | INFLEXIBLE — 」
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Though the wood itself is rather flexible, the magical aspects of vinewood are rather
erratic, it's combination here with a stable core makes the wand as a whole inflexible,
yielding to only the witch it has chosen, Sonya. Even other members of her family
have experienced troubles when attempting to use her wand. This may be because
she has willingly lent the weapon so infrequently that the wand has understood its
master's wariness and therefore chooses to reject even the most skilled wizards of
the Rastian family.

- ★ 《 SCRATCH ↑❛ THE SURFACE ▪▪
━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━
⊹ MIRROR OF ERISED :: Della would love to make it as an Auror one day, but she
also entertains the idea of joining the the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team. Della
knows she won't ever get the chance to do it though, considering her parents don't
believe she, as a female, should be playing the sport, no matter how good she really
actually is as a seeker.
⊹ BOGGART :: A crowd of people, particularly her peers or her family, who stand
and laugh at her expense. | She's an incredibly proud character who takes herself
very seriously in terms of how she is seen. While she doesn't mind if she's seen
to be a b***h, she fears the idea of not measuring up.
⊹ FEARS :: Thunderstorms. | It isn't so much the flash of lightning that scares her,
but the idea that there's something so vast and powerful that it ripples through the
air and creates such a loud sound.
⊹ PATRONUS :: Hippogriff | Creatures of immense pride, hippogriffs are known to
handle their own and maintain strict relations with only the noblest of individuals,
both animal and human. To breach a hippogriff's boundaries without permission is
to venture into dangerous waters as they will take the offense personally and are
not likely to forget the incident or the offender easily.
⊹ PET :: None.
♚ xxLet's Not Talk About It
Sonya Adelaina Rastian is not the only Rastian child of this generation. Even
though it seems that way, there is a family secret regarding Della's generation
of the Rastian family. To the rest of the world, Della is the only Rastian child at
this time. Unfortunately, the truth is that she also has a younger brother Ivan
Vladimir Rastian. The two aren't exactly that close, but that's only because he
was disowned when it was discovered that he had no magical skill or ability. At
the births of Rastian children, each new member undergoes a certain number
of detective and revealing spells that give a good sense of the individual's future
magical ability. While it's not an entirely accurate measurement, it served as a
good indication and it was found that just days within his birth, Ivan would not
possess any magical talent. As Della would find out later (due to her need to
learn about what became of her brother), he was sent across the ocean to the
Americas where he was taken in by a muggle family. As the years passed,
Della made sure to check in on her brother's well-being. It surprised her when,
after not having heard about him for a couple years, to learn that he had turned
into a pop sensation in the muggle world. She doesn't tell anyone however, and
keeps this knowledge to herself. In fact, when she is given the chance, she plans
to visit him - not quite to tell him of his heritage, but just get to know him. As
fiercely loyal as she is to her family and the ideals they portray, Della has
always thought they were wrong in her family's decision to disown Ivan.
❛ ◝ SCRATCH ↑ IT AGAIN :★
━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━
⊹ GOOD TRAITS :: Respectful | Loyal | Well-Mannered
⊹ BAD TRAITS :: Easily Provoked | Prideful | Self-Righteous
⊹ NEUTRAL TRAITS :: Critical | Self-Conscious | Wary
♚ xxWe Have Our Strengths
- • Quidditch | Despite the fact that her parents frown upon her involvement in the
sport, Della excels at Quidditch. She enjoys being out in the air more than just
about anything else and is pleased with her own success as a seeker. Family
expectations however keep her from letting any plans for a career in quidditch
to get too large in her head. It isn't proper, since the Rastian family needs to
be exhibiting their magical skills and not their ability to fly around on a broom
looking for a tiny, flying, golden ball.
• Transfiguration | Aside from the fact that Della excels at just about everything
(aside from Herbology...), the attention she paid early on in Transfiguration was
extensive. She'd been very interested in her mother's spells as a child, and when
she got into school, Della strove in the subject.
• Arithmancy | Logical tasks always seemed to be painstakingly easy for the
Bulgarian witch, and went it came to the number game of Arithmancy, she picked
up the subject just as easily as she did Transfiguration. Potions, Defense Against
the Dark Arts, Charms...subjects of that nature seemed repetitive and route, only
seeming to require some simple memorization. But when it came to Arithmancy,
Della enjoyed the slight challenge that came with something procedural. She took
to Potions the same way, though prefers the numbers.A
♚ xxBut We Are Also Vulnerable
- • Lacks Courage | Regardless of the fact that she comes from a family of aurors
who excel in times of need, Della is truthfully a coward. She portrays herself as
an intelligent witch who knows the correct spells and hexes, and she truly does,
but she lacks the courage needed to jump out and defend herself when her honor
is being attacked. This is, in part, due to the fact that she is not used to being
challenged or confronted about her skill, believing that it will simply be accepted
as fact.
• Herbology | Although she needs to pass her NEWTS in Potions, Defense Against
the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, and Charms, Della isn't worried, except
for when it comes to the plat-based magic. Herb-lore was just never something she
paid much attention to, and even when she did, she only barely managed to really
comprehend what was being taught. Somehow, she has entered her NEWT classes
in Herbology (and the other subjects) this year, but there's really no telling how well
she'll do with Auror training.
• Handling Messiness | Besides her involvement in Quidditch, Della doesn't go outside with the
intention of getting dirty. The only time she'll tolerate it is when it's storming outside.
Actually, that's the only time she can handle thunderstorms, when she's out on the
Quidditch pitch.

- ⇃ WALKING DOWN ⊹ MEMORY LANE ♕
━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Despite the fact that ideas of blood purity and simple superiority itself is less
widespread in the wizarding world, at least on a grander scale, there are a few
families within the world, typically longtime pureblood families, who still find
themselves above all others. The Rastian family is one such family, holding
true to their bloody purity roots, at least when it comes to their kin. Interestingly,
members of the family don't seem to look down upon halfbloods or muggleborn
individuals outside the family. But should anyone decide to marry someone of
'unpure' blood, extreme measures of discrimination and potentially disowning
has known to occur within the Rastian family tree. Growing up in this sort of
environment, Sonya (or Della, as many call her - to distinguish between her
mother and herself) developed a nearly narcissistic sense of pride. She also
understands the sheer pressure of constantly having to live up to her family's
expectations.
A large majority of Della's personality traits and behavior stem from her family
and the expectations to which she knows she must rise. The largest of these
assumptions reside in the magical talent and skill within each family member.
As many within the family are, or were Aurors at some point in their lives (with
a particular interest in vampires and the delinquent nature that some of these
beings exhibit), Della aims to become an Auror one day as well, regardless
of any other aspirations she has (Quidditch for example). What she is both
grateful for and disheartened by is the fact that she managed to withstand the
tests of magical capability and is seen to have some potential and importance
within her family. It allows her the chance to be as regal as her family members,
or at least most of them. Unfortunately, some Rastians weren't quite so lucky.
Della keeps track of her younger brother, formerly known as Ivan Vladimir
Rastian, as he lives his life (the only one he's known) as a pop sensation over-
seas. Joe Jonas lives his life as a muggle, completely unaware of the fact that
he, in fact, is of magical ancestry. Unfortunately, to his family, Ivan has and
always will be a squib and no longer constitute part of the family at all. Della
takes the knowledge of her opportunity as a witch to heart and has done all
that she could to live up to the expectations set for her in the past years. Her
behavior within the halls of Durmstrang had pegged her as a particularly stuck-
up female, but she's done what she's had to do in order to maintain some
sense of importance as a Rastian. Once she's reached that level and can hold
on to it, perhaps she'll go to visit her brother (as a stranger of course) or maybe
even bring up the idea of playing Quidditch professionally. But it's just as likely
that none of these events will take place at all.

valentina is...hard working and loyal, which is more than

but that's really all i can say. we aren't close, and we don't
spend much time together, or see the need to really. kudos

xxxx★⋮ landon ― verlac ↻
we're not friends and that's that.

landon and i, we just do not get along. he's a... decent

him and we just don't have the same values.

mind you i know little about the hogwarts houses, but

she seems not to have much dignity in who she is. or
rather that's not the right way to put it. it's more along the
lines of her being...too common.

it's undeniable that we are far too similar for our own good
but i can't help it. he knows how to present himself, and
it really can't be helped that to do it, he puts others down
or at least somewhat. he does have this absurd idea that
i will help him win the tournament. he has to know that i
won't, but perhaps it's just the competitive nature of our
relationship that comes with being far too similar.
xxxx★⋮ heloise ― levesque ↻

she's been around auguste, i've seen. but i get this sense
that it's for nothing more than a little lime-light. still, i don't
have any reason to voice my true opinion of her so for now
i suppose she's just another champion.

as a muggleborn, i don't have anything against

he's got a classic nice, sweet demeanor though

She's everything a girl shouldn't be. but....i guess
i can't help but appreciate that she's who she is

each other as much as we do, and you didn't hear
it from me, but i actually enjoy that sometimes.

I want to say that he's really not that bad, but there's just
