Cedric Diggory has been described as "the strong, but silent type" and "extremely handsome" and he shows a notable streak for modesty and fairness. He is a very good student and a Prefect for the Hufflepuff House. In 1993, when he was a Fifth Year, Cedric took over as the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain and Seeker through Harry's third year of school. Cedric's father is Amos Diggory, who works at the Ministry of Magic. Cedric's wand is twelve and a quarter inches, made of ash wood, and contains a single hair from a male unicorn. Mr Ollivander describes it as 'pleasantly springy'.

Interesting tidbit:

Cedric has a wand with a unicorn tail hair in it and - as anyone who has read the Philosopher's Stone - Ronan, the centaur, says: "Always the innocent are the first victims" when he is referring to the Unicorn just slained by Voldemort. Coincidence?
