Caleb Benson

Caleb Patrick Benson

Wand: Spruce and Phoenix Feather, 10 3/4 inches

Wand Wood Description: Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude.” This wand is ill-matched with cautious or nervous individual, becoming positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. “The spruce wand requires a firm hand, because it often appears to have its own ideas about what magic it ought to be called upon to produce.” Its best match is a bold owner with a good sense of humor and this wand becomes intensely loyal to their owners, most capable of flamboyant, flashy magic.


Appearance: Caleb has dark brown hair that is a bit fluffy on the top and short around the sides, rusty brown eyes and light skin. He has a few freckles placed sporadically around his face. He stands 6 foot even and has broad shoulders but isn't over muscular. He has a gorgeous smile, nice enough to make any girl swoon over him and he knows how to use it to his advantage.

Personality: Caleb definitely has an arrogance about him. He knows he’s good looking and he knows he comes from money and he’s not ashamed of that. He’s extremely cheeky and is not afraid to speak what’s on his mind, especially if he knows the other person is in the wrong. He cares about his image and wants to live up to the good name that his father has built. Due to constantly being picked on, Caleb learned how to defend himself early on and often stuck up for him and Cole whenever the older boys were nagging them. Unlike his cousin Cole, Caleb values knowledge and will always want to know the facts over a theory. He’s extremely smart, most of the time he would verbally insult his cousins with some witty response in order to make them leave him alone. His mind cannot easily be swayed, what he thinks is what he thinks and that’s all there is to it.

History: Roslyn Wainright is the younger sister of Felix Wainright, a family that comes come a long history of money. Ros met Todd Benson, who is also from a wealthy wizarding family, while attending Hogwarts. She was good friends with Felix’s wife, Kristan and the four were inseparable during their school years and were even there during the Second Wizarding War, though they didn’t do much fighting. After they graduated, Todd inherited his family’s fortune after his parents were tragically killed during the war and went to work at the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He and Roslyn married three years after leaving school and had their first child five years later, Ros was 24, Todd was 25.

Caleb was extremely spoiled by his parents as a child, although he often played with his older cousins due to the fact that Roslyn and Todd had moved literally next door to Felix and Kristan after Caleb was born. The boys played like boys and his elder cousins often ganged up on Caleb and his cousin Cole, who were the youngest of the group. Due to constantly being picked on, Caleb learned how to defend himself early on and often stuck up for him and Cole whenever the older boys were nagging them.

After his little brother Noah was born, Caleb wasn’t as mollycoddled as he was before Noah. His father didn’t pay as much attention to him, which caused Caleb to want to do things that caught his father’s attention though they often went unnoticed. He wanted to hate his brother for taking the attention away from him but he couldn’t and instead adored him, just like everyone else did. It was hard not to adore Noah, he was clearly the favorite of all the Wainright/Benson cousins.
