𝒄𝒚𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 wands are associated with nobility. the great medieval wandmaker, geraint ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death. fortunately, in these less blood-thirsty times, the possessors of cypress wands are rarely called upon to lay down their lives, though doubtless many of them would do so if required. wands of cypress find their soul mates among the brave, the bold and the self-sacrificing: those who are unafraid to confront the shadows in their own and others’ natures.
you are suited to power - a 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 wand to match. these can produce the most spectacular and extraordinary spells, suited to you, which are more for aesthetics than necessity. dragon heartstring wands learn faster than the others and bond with the owner - you - very strongly. the down side is that it - and you - can be a little more vulnerable to accidents, and that neither of you feel a particularly strong inclination towards good or bad, and so this core is easiest to turn to the dark arts.
there is an adventurous and carefree nature to the 𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒏, one that is reflected in those with it as their patronus. they are incredibly unique individuals, and quite often social and loved by most. they are strong and like to explore new things and meet new people. despite their need to be themselves and individuality, they can at times become incredibly dependent on others, asking them for help in every aspect of their life. they can sometimes forget how to function on their own and start to feel down or like a different person when they are not surrounded by others, which can make them seem needy.
