(Also, hS, Nesh, I would greatly appreciate email replies from both of you at some point.)

a) 12 3/4'' supple & roped laurel w/ dragon heartstring

A) is actually for myself! Slash Agent July. So, going by the thing, laurel wands don't tolerate laziness and are said to not be able to perform dishonorable acts. Dragon heartstring cores tend to learn quickly, and can be temperamental and and capable of flamboyant spells- which goes along with length tending to indicate big personalities and flamboyant styles.

Anyone else think that sounds off the mark for oneself?

b) 9 3/4'' slightly springy & carved cypress w/ phoenix feather

As for b), it's for Agent JF, who does have some growing to do (still) and forever lacking in maturity and common sense. Phoenix feather cores tend to take initiative and have a great range, and cypress wands go to the bold. And well. She does fit the mark.

c) 14 1/2'' unbending & ribbed beech w/ unicorn hair

c) is actually for Library! She's certainly fairly mature acting, and tends to react with the most sense among any given group of agents for the most part, and is definitely one to stand her ground. There's a reason that she brooks no argument from July, or from anyone else. She's even fairly good at getting her way.

d) 12 1/4'' solid & roped beech w/ phoenix feather

d) is for Colt, who can be flighty seeming at times- which is more of an act than it really is- but does definitely stick with things. As for wise beyond their years, well, he's a half elf, and prior to joining the PPC lived among elves, so that gives him an interesting perspective and one he doesn't quite notice all the time- since by that measure he's more immature, since half human, when he's actually behaving he's one of the more responsible ones in BM.

e) 14'' reasonably supple & carved beech w/ dragon heartstring

The 'flamboyant and energetic' wand belongs to Gerry, in this case, who's a bit of an odd duck for the BM lot since she only started doing that because she couldn't continue with being an assassin any longer. One of these days I really have to write a mission or two for her from before she got forced out. At first glance it might seem like the wands Colt and Gerry have might be better suited to the other, but there's a reason I generally keep them paired up in stories and RPs like I do; they tend to keep each other going.

f) 11 1/4'' reasonably supple & carved sycamore w/ unicorn hair

As for f), that goes to Denny; sycamores are for new experience and adventure, pretty much, and unicorn hair cores also make for pretty faithful wands. He's definitely in the PPC for new experiences and is kind of doing an escapist thing, even if he's not entirely aware of it. :)

Overall, I definitely find it interesting how well the matches work, for the most part.
