Description
Professor Wickens is in her late 30s or early 40s, with shoulder-length chestnut-brown hair usually tied back in an efficient knot, dressed in elegant, sharply tailored robes with metallic accents. Her eyes are pale hazel and rarely give away what she’s thinking, and her presence in a room is quiet but commanding.
Personality
Professor Wickens is precise, composed, and unapologetically demanding, with a razor-sharp intellect and exacting standards for her students. Though she appears stern, students occasionally catch glimpses of dry wit beneath the surface, and she has a particular fondness for cleverness and elegance in spellwork.
Background
Cedrella Wickens was once a dueling prodigy and worked in applied transfiguration for the Department of Mysteries before returning to Hogwarts to take up the Transfiguration post. She’s a published scholar in advanced metamorphic theory and values excellence in any form, regardless of house.
