A little background:
Reducio

Jane lives in a small town in Hawkes End, England with her loving parents, Nora (née McGowan) and Timothy Owens. Her parents knew she would be a bright witch from a young age once they saw little spurts of magic here and there around the house. They often found her in the the garden talking to a gnome, in which Timothy would end up going out and swinging the creature around then toss it over the wall in their garden in hopes it wouldn't return. Or she would be picking plants that could be used in potions, though she didn't know how to make potions yet or that these plants were potion ingredients. Jane kept Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans in her pockets sometimes just in case she saw a gnome in the garden again. She tried to persuade them with the beans to leave their garden alone, mostly succeeding, but there would be a few gnomes that wouldn't go for them. Her interaction with gnomes fueled her love of magical creatures and she would study them whenever she could.

Her parents attended Hogwarts and met during their fourth years as acquaintances through mutual friends. Her father was in Slytherin and her mother was in Hufflepuff. They both hoped that Jane would get into their respective houses when it was her time at Hogwarts, but were also alright with whatever house she was sorted into. They knew she would belong wherever she was sorted. Her father works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Timothy is an Auror; while Nora is a stay at home mother caring for Jane. When she finishes her schooling at Hogwarts, Jane wants to get a job at the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to follow in her father's footsteps of working in the Ministry.

Personality & Appearance:
Reducio

Image
Smart, friendly and an easy-going person. She becomes friends with almost everyone and everything she meets. Sometimes she can be shy when she first meets people but warms up quickly. Jane has light to dark brown hair, light blue (almost silver) eyes and somewhat of a babyface so she looks younger than she is. Her skin is pale with pink undertones and some light freckles here and there. She has some scars here and there from past experiences with magical creatures, though she can't remember the interactions. Her cheeks flush easily when she has interactions with people but she hardly notices.

Sorting Ceremony:
Reducio

Jane was excited, and a little nervous, as she filed into the Great Hall with the other first year students. Her eyes were wide as she took in the great space and all it had to offer. The candles hovering overhead, the long tables belonging to the different houses with students filling the seats and the portraits on the walls that were talking amongst themselves; everything in the Great Hall was breathtaking to Jane. Even though the nervousness she had started to bubble up within her a little bit more as she walked towards the front of the tables, she felt that she was somewhere she belonged. Her parents had told her stories of their time as students at Hogwarts and how they had felt when it was time for their sorting ceremony. They had admitted that they had felt nervous and that most people would feel this way; for the house you are sorted into will be your family during your stay in Hogwarts. Jane's parents said, "We know you will belong in any house you are sorted into, dear." She felt that they would be proud of her no matter what house she was sorted into as long as she made friends and focused on her studies.

Jane stopped when everyone else did as they had reached the front of the tables and waited to be called forward by the Headmaster. She knew she shouldn't feel nervous about being sorted, but it was all the previous students she felt were staring at her and the rest of the first years waiting to see where they would go. Looking around at all the other students surrounding her, Jane hoped that she would make friends with most of the students during her stay in Hogwarts. Since she was not one who would define a person by the House they are sorted into, because everyone needs a friend. She listened as students started getting called up. Next thing she knew it was her name being called, "Jane Owens."

Jane took in a deep breathe and exhaled slowly as she walked up to sit on the stool. When she sat down the sorting hat was placed on her head and she could hear it talking but it wasn't talking out loud. It was in her head so that only she could hear what it was saying. "Owens.. Owens. That name sounds familiar, but it has been a while since I have heard it. Ah, your father is Timothy Owens who I remember I sorted into Slytherin. Though you do seem to be ambitious like your father was, you have more of your mothers qualities.. And I sorted Nora into Hufflepuff.." She did feel she was closer with her mother as she didn't work and mainly took care of Jane. Some of her mothers qualities probably rubbed off on her as she grew older."You are a bright child and want to focus on your studies here, but I can tell you also want to make friends. And you would befriend anyone or anything no matter what. You are loyal as well.. Hmm.. Now I see." She held on to the sides of the stool as she waited to hear what the sorting hat would say. After what felt like an eternity but was probably only a few seconds, Jane heard the hat exclaim, "HUFFLEPUFF!" With a big smile on her face, the hat was lifted off her head and Jane made her way to the cheers of the Hufflepuff table. Her first thoughts as she sat down were that she couldn't wait to tell her parents.

Misc.
Wand
Image
27.5 cm Cherry wood and Phoenix Feather-
Cherry Wood::
Reducio
This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.
Phoenix Feather Core:
Reducio
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.

Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
