Year:
Wand Type: 10 1/8" Hazel and Unicorn HairA sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.

Memory
Boggart:
Appearance: Has his father's soft, sleepy, vibrant yellow eyes and stocky build. Square faced and strong jawed, but his overall appearance and demeanor radiates a particular softness. Often looks fairly jovial.
Personality:A little shy and self depreciating, but makes friends easily and is fairly intelligent. He has points of boldness, and will go to extremes to keep someone he cares about safe. He's fairly humble about said points. Eames can look deeper into a situation and see it for what it is before others can, thinking fast on his feet. A very good and cunning liar, but he only does as such in order to protect others, never harm. Isn't afraid to show when he's upset, but unlike most people is efficient with blame placing, I'd he even does that.
Has an edge for Quidditch, but prefers to watch instead of play. Eames grew up marveling at his grandparents' (Keira and Baine's) Quidditch careers, often sitting about watching recordings of their matches. Like his mother, loves making pastries, especially for others before big Quidditch games.
History: Child of Benjamin and Rachel Wintergreen. Eames grew up a fairly normal child. The only real mystery life threw at him at an early age was his particular eye color that he shared with his father. He was told something or other about his eyes being "special" but nothing to go parading around about. The boy accepted this without question, his only other beef with life being the particular drab birth name of 'Edmund.' Hence, the preference for Eames, a derivative.
As the other like his father and aunts, Eames had much enrichment from Quidditch early on, his favorite teams coming to be the Moutohora Macaws and the team his grandfather* played for, the Montrose Magpies. Once in school and though sorted and loyal to Hufflepuff, he has a hell of a time cheering at games, for he has friends and family in each house worth rooting for. Regardless, he goes about baking for his friends and family before every match, bidding them a good game.
During his 6th and 7th years he finally gives into requests and demands and plays as one of Hufflepuff's beaters, though true to his nature he's not very fond of hitting bludgers towards and focuses on getting them away from his teammates.
Noted Relationships:
Benjamin Wintergreen Father. Eames has never for a moment pitied his father, and has always looked up to the kind and gentle man. He finds his father to be quite the role model and never minds when people mention how very much like his father he is. In fact, it makes him feel proud.
Rachel Wintergreen Mother.
Keira Playfair Grandmother.
*Baine Playfair 'Grandfather.' Eames is aware that Baine isn't his true grandfather, but never questions it and accepts the man all the same. Likewise, Baine treats the boy just as he does any other blood relative. In his youth Eames had quite the curiosity for his grandfather being a werewolf, and would often feed him cookies on the full moon.
Alex Timberwood Aunt.
Devlin Timberwood. Admires his skills as Slytherin's chaser. Enjoys making sweet things with him when the elder boy has spare time.
Zoë Playfair Aunt. Get along very well and enjoy each other's company. Eames happily cheers for her at the Gryffindor games.
Petra Playfair Aunt. Admires her, though finds her (hilariously) a little intimidating at points.
Vallonia Sister
