Yew 14" Unicorn Hair

N/A
Where did you attend school?
Hogwarts
What House were you in?
Ravenclaw
Family History:
Syhinad is a pure blood. His mother and father coming from wizarding families able to trace their lineage back many years. Syhinad was a young boy when the Dark Lord rose again to power. His family, contrary to most of the pure bloods, were against the philosophy that Voldemort was preaching.
However, instead of running away, the did the counter to that. They joined as death eaters and started to slip messages to the Auror's whenever they could. It was strenuous at best, but it was Syhinad who along with Dumbeldor's Army helped in recruiting all the students at Hogwarts to rebel against their new headmaster.
Both parents experts at Legilimency and Occlumency, they managed to stave off the suspicions of the Dark Lord, and were able to provide the Order of the Phoenix with a reliable amount of information regarding the size of the army that Voldemort was raising, and in the heat of the battle at Hogwarts, performed a Judas on the 6 other death eaters with them, stopping them from the murder of Hogwarts students.
When the Dark lord was defeated by Harry Potter, the weight of the past months lifted from their shoulders, and the family retired to their house in London.
Syhinad was only 12 at the time. As the years wore on Syhinad displayed strong magical abilities, able to produce a patronas at the age of 13. He grew quickly, strong in transfiguration and potions but a natural at charms. After his graduation, he worked at the ministry for a little while in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes in the office of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad.
After 3 years of working, he seemed to feel a different sort of calling, as with every accident involving a young wizard practising a spell, he would always explain in detail how to work it to provide the right result. Thusly did a discussion with a friend of his lead him to consider teaching at Hogwarts.
Physical Description:
Syhinad is of average height, He has short brown hair, and is fairly handsome in appearance. He has broad shoulders, and looks fairly well muscled thought not excessively. He looks like one who has taken a liking to some of the muggle sports, such as rugby and football [read: soccer] and looks like he can play them well.
Usually smiling though it looks like it's something that he finds amusing only.
Celebrity Look-a-like: Dane Cook
Personality Description:
Syhinad, never really the same from his experiences with the way his family was during the second rise of Lord Voldemort, became a little odd. Oh he knows what he's doing, and he does it very well, but he appears eccentric, with a great many over-exaggerated gestures, and conversations that sometimes take many a tangent, but always returning to where he was meant to be.
He's approachable, friendly, yet there's an oddity about him, he carries odd trinkets from time to time.
Strengths:
He's very clever. He's good at remaining calm in situations and thinking things through before dashing in. He's patient and careful, and makes sure to cover everything before moving on.
Weaknesses:
A tad wistful, on some days he is a fart in a windstorm, going to and fro with no rhyme or reason other than he decided to go somewhere, got distracted by another thought, and went to pursue that, so much so that by the end of the day when he realizes where he is and what time it is, he could be in a forest picking mushrooms. It's rare that it's that bad, but it has been known to happen. On his good day's, he's just very hard to talk to as he jumps from topic to topic.
Why would you like to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
A passion for explanation, and his great ability to facilitate the learning of spells so that it is more than mere words and sketches on a page.
He's skilled at demonstration and explanation, making even the toughest spells easy enough for a beginner to cast.
What would you like to teach?
Charms
Have you had any prior experience?
Yes, but not with Harry Potter.
Please give us an example RP:
*Syhinad watched as Charles cast his Cheering Charm on Christina. Unfortunately for poor Christina, Charles moved his wand in the wrong manner and muttered the incantation wrong, thusly providing exactly the opposite effect.
Crocodile tears welled up in Christina's eyes, and she started to cry.*
"My my, Charles, now look your wand movements made poor Christina cry..."
*a soft smile graced his face.*
"It's around, and flick, but add a bit of a jab at the end, that really puts some 'omph' in it."
*winks*
"Try one more time, Letifico Sursum...with the movements at the same time."
*Syhinad stepped away, and luckily this time, much to Christina's relief, Charles got it right, and soon she was wiping her tears away with a large smile on her face.*
