⋆˙⟡ Wren Zhang / INFJ / 28 February ⋆˙⟡
It’s almost been two years since I got my hands on Hogwarts Legacy and brought Wren into the HL fandom, figure she’s long overdue a new introduction; don’t be shy to say hi 🫶
A few more details about my little bi nugget below the cut 💙
She’s the only one in her family with freckles; another distinguished trait is a small pale birthmark in her left iris. Though born into a modest house of scholars and musicians, Wren wasn’t particularly bright as a young girl; it worried her parents seeing she didn’t inherit either of their revered geniuses so efforts were made to instil as much knowledge and dexterity as they could when young Wren struggled academically. It wasn’t till Wren was whisked away to Hogwarts, her brilliant mind is “finally brought out of the fog.” Safe to say she was positively flummoxed when sorted to Ravenclaw.
Favoured subjects include Herbology, Care for Magical Creatures, and Potions. While she loves flourishing her wand as much as the next witch, Wren has a soft spot for all of the more practical and hands-on magic. Fitting as she later becomes a Healer at St. Mungos, even considering to enter a considerably more dangerous field of Curse Breakers.
Wren can talk to animals, as in she speaks to them and they almost always respond in earnest - from beasts to critters, ordinary or magical creatures alike. Whether this is a strange mutation roused in her youth by the then-dormant Ancient Magic or an unusual form of Legilimency, she isn’t sure. She has a ragdoll cat, Eglantine (affectionately nicknamed Egg) brought from home, and a niffler, Chaurli - or Charlie after learning it’s actually a girl - accidentally bred in the castle. Naturally, she talks to both of them everyday.
While great on a broom, Wren isn’t that fond of participating in Quidditch, much more content in navigating the air without the constraints of the Pitch or supporting and cheering from the stands for one certain cantankerous Captain she’s come to love deeply.
She’s a huge foodie. Wren finds snacking as more enjoyable a pastime than most; munching on an apple in the common room, or having pumpkin pasties while waiting classes to start, she’s always nibbling on something even when not really hungry.
Wren sadly struggles with severe pyrophpbia. It stemmed from a period of her life when the city she lived was ravaged by riots and arsons on account of the political and religious climate at the time. She has since somewhat overcome it, but still makes an effort to keep a distance from most fireplaces and avoid using any spells that potentially may set things ablaze.
