WAND: Laurel, Unicorn Hair, 13 Inches, Rigid
“It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic. Laurel wands are sometimes called fickle, but this is unfair. The laurel wand seems unable to tolerate laziness in a possessor, and it is in such conditions that it is most easily and willingly won away. Otherwise, it will cleave happily to its first match forever, and indeed has the unusual and engaging attribute of issuing a spontaneous lightning strike if another witch or wizard attempts to steal it.
“Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.
Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may ‘die’ and need replacing.”

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Gavin is a classically attractive man. He is tall and has dirty blonde hair that’s tone changes with the seasons. He is strongly built due to his love of sports and the outdoors, keeping him active and fit. Gavin’s muscles are quite average among his friends – definitely there but not in bodybuilder proportions. He is not self-conscious or vain about his appearance and is quite comfortable in his own skin. Gavin has no tattoos or noticeable scars (only small ones from childhood accidents).
Gavin’s style is simple. He mostly wears jeans and cotton tees or flannel. He dresses to feel comfortable and be practical, especially since his job requires some running around. Gavin owns a couple suits and various other formal wear but only wears them when it is necessary. In the winter he frequently wears heavy cloaks for warmth over his normal clothes. Gavin’s philosophy is function over fashion.

PERSONALITY: A young Gavin Blackmoor could be most accurately compared to the James Potter that Snape knew at Hogwarts. He was arrogant, self-obsessed, and in constant awe of his own abilities. He was athletic and competitive, especially when it came to sports like Quidditch. But regardless of his unintentionally poor treatment of his classmates Gavin never lacked the Gryffindor heart. He has always been brave on heroic levels and held himself up to high moral standards. To this day Gavin blatantly refuses to use any sort of dark or damaging magic.
After graduation, Gavin’s ego lessoned considerably. He embraced his job at the Ministry and learned to live under authority. Gavin’s natural loyalty is an asset to have at the Ministry and once someone takes a leap of faith to trust him, he is extremely responsible. The only problems occur when people underestimate or are suspicious of him. Gavin has a tendency to mirror other people’s opinions of him – he will make the effort for someone who wishes to be his friend, but will have little patience for anyone who doesn’t care for him.
Gavin can be quite passionate when his interest is spiked. When he gets involved in a hobby, cause, or person he has a hard time disconnecting from it. Gavin is unafraid of adventure and trying new things. He’s optimistic that things will turn out in his favor, but is not completely naive about the bad things in the world. He truly believes that good will win and his view of the world is sometimes worryingly black and white. Gavin has very little acceptance for those that succumb to the dark arts and sees it as taking the easy way out.
For a Gryffindor, Gavin has to fight back against his own cowardness quite often. He has a strong fear of both heights and small spaces, both of which he purposely exposes himself to in the hopes of overcoming. More than anything, Gavin is terrified that he is a coward and unworthy to wear the red and gold. Ironically, Gavin’s fear of his own fear grows as he attempts to become fearless.
