Forum:Princess Charlotte of Wales

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.


 * + charismatic & pure-hearted - headstrong & too persistent

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why?


 * Currently, Charlotte just wants to be able to fill her mother's shoes; she wants to be an exemplary royal. She always thrives to be the best version of herself, and that will never change. Her country - her people - will always come first and foremost for her; maybe only right after her family. Maybe. That'll never change.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?


 * There's no way she can spend an entire day on her own, uninterrupted, ignoring the responsibilities as the third in line for the throne of the Magical sector of the United Kingdom. She'd love it, but it's nigh impossible, so it'd probably be doing charitable work in underprivileged sectors with her siblings, even if it's to attempt to salvage their public image. She also loves public affairs with her family - it usually leads to a nice evening with her siblings, trying to (half-heartedly) discourage them from judging their relatives. And, of course, she has the chance to usurp her aunts as the fashion icons of the Royal Family.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?


 * You see, this is a bit of a clever question, because at the end of the day, a witch such as Charlotte only needs one thing: her wand. Everything else is easily conjured, transformed or vanished.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?


 * Charlotte is an advocate for the rights of near-humans, the LGBTQ+ community, feminism, and many more. She's all about equality, and is constantly proving that. Like her mother, she's big on charity work. She feels like specific communities don't receive the aid they deserve, hence why she feels the constant need to come to their defense. As a royal, her powers are limited, and whenever she does something, it's more often than not labelled as a publicity stunt, but Charlotte knows better - she cares.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?


 * When Princess Charlotte arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the house into which she was sorted was the last thing on her mind. However, without a doubt, she did fret for weeks on end after discovering about her transfer that she'd be sorted into Slytherin, so somewhere in her mind laid that unrest about becoming the black sheep of the Royal Family simply because of her house.

The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, personality must be at least one paragraph long for the first two characters, two paragraphs long for the third to eighth characters, and three paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth!)


 * For as long as Charlotte can remember, the word reputation has ingrained in her mind. Truth be told, it's not something she's had to struggle with. She is, suffice to say, the definition of a princess. No, really, you'd look it up in the dictionary and you'd see a picture of her, without a doubt. She's prim and proper and you'll never see her with even a hair out of place. Charlotte is the embodiment of perfection, and the thing is... she knows it.


 * Despite her strict upbringing, she's come to embrace who she is and what her role is in the magical society. She has long since accepted there are many things expected from her, most notably during her interactions with the commoners and appearances at public affairs. Every bit of her is scrutinized endlessly - her movements, her posture, her smiles, her behavior. All of it. And Charlotte's used to it.


 * All she does, she does for the crown. The charisma she exhibits in public is the same she exhibits in private affairs, with her family and closest friends. She has a big heart full of compassion. She's trustworthy and loyal even today, though it extends to her people and duties as a princess before it does to friends, given it's under the right circumstances. She was raised a thoughtful, humble, friendly young girl, traits that she has kept throughout the years.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, history must at least be two paragraphs long for the first two characters, three paragraphs long for the third to eighth character, and four paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth character!)


 * During the reign of William III & Mary II in 1692 the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was signed, separating the lives of the magical and the muggles. The reign of the muggle royal family over the magical population of Britain - and later the United Kindgom - was largely undisturbed; both British societies observed the same monarch until the pure-blooded of the magical society began demanding detachment. From what started as being general discontent grew into violent actions with a magical civil war approaching over the horizon. In a stroke of luck that avoided turmoil, the ruling King George III had a magical daughter hidden from the muggle society. This daughter, Princess Charlotte, was quickly installed as the monarch of the magical society of Britain - an act which finally separated the two.


 * The arrangement worked out perfectly for both societies; whilst both monarchies were separate, the two worked closely to ensure similar values were shared and upheld. When the muggle monarchy changed their house name to Windsor, the magical monarchy followed suit. Everything was harmonious until the ascension of King Henry II. A monarch who wanted to devolve the power of the Ministry itself, Henry became tyrannous early on in his reign. Turmoil that threatened to overthrow the monarchy rose again, saved only by the forced abdication of Henry and the replacement by his eldest daughter, Victoria.


 * Proving to be the saving grace of House Windsor, Queen Victoria remedied her father's mistakes. She appealed to all crowds of magical life; advocating for no discrimination for species, being proud enough of her pure-blooded heritage to satisfy those who cared whilst remaining completely relatable for all. Her reign, still going strong, has remained among the most harmonious and popular since the magical monarchy's establishment.


 * If you ever need a modern fairytale to restore your belief in love, the story of Prince Arthur of Wales and Maud Weasley is one to know. They met at Hogwarts, in the first potions class of their first year, and clicked immediately. For years afterwards they were the subject of hundreds of "will they won't they" speculation in all the tabloids, until they finally began a relationship. Magical media always loved their story and when their engagement was announced the media had a field day. Their wedding, for one, is said to be the most-viewed in all of magical history. Picture this: the strictly brought up, straight-laced crown prince, marrying the carefree commoner who captured his heart.


 * It wasn't long until they started having children: first Alfred, then Charlotte, then Helena, and finally Richard. Arthur is a strict but loving father, concerned always with appearances and stressing the importance of protocol. These four are, after all, 2nd to 5th in line, and they have to act as such. Maud, however, is considerably more relaxed, perhaps because of the controlled chaos that was her own upbringing.


 * Throughout her childhood, Princess Charlotte relished in the comfort of her family's closeness, and always found it to be her happy place whenever she made public appearances. Likewise, she often found comfort in the trips her mother organized for her family. You see, Princess Maud of Wales is of the opinion that, as magical royalty, her children need to have a wide knowledge of both wizarding and muggle cultures. Therefore, she's been taking them on daytrips to typical muggle places ever since they were small. Though often ambushed by paparazzi, these trips meant the world to Charlotte as a little girl. To this day, she likes to think that's where her story begins - where she began to transform into who she is today.


 * From a young age, it was obvious Charlotte would be a woman apt to hold the title of third in line. She was always trying to get involved in public affairs, and often followed rules to a t - whenever she didn't, it was undoubtedly under the influence of one of her siblings, maybe even cousins. Even her first sign of magic, at the meek age of six, was as prim and proper as she was, having fixed the stitches in the dress she wore to one of her cousins' baptisms. This sign of magic ensured she'd retain her position in the line of succession to the throne, at least until Albert reproduced. She reaped of many other benefits, including endless bouts of affection from the public, being dotted on by her proud parents, and securing entrance to both the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts, and later Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.


 * At the age of eleven, rather than beginning her education at Hogwarts School, she showed her first sign of rebellion, which in all fairness... cannot be classified as even that. Even as a young girl, Charlotte exhibited talents that were once so appreciated but had since nearly run into extinction among the royals. She had a passion for music, and often expressed herself through dance. It was usually ball, and ballet, and she had the talent. Likewise, she was well-versed with classical instruments, though none like the piano and the violin. While it wasn't enough to warrant attending WADA, her passion for theatre certainly was.


 * When the prospect of Charlotte attending WADA was brought up, Prince Arthur was initially vehemently against it. They were royals, and needless to say, it wasn't the ideal school for a princess - let alone the one third in line - to attend. Nonetheless, he and Maud were able to reach a compromise. She was considerably more laidback than her husband, and wanted to ensure her children had a healthy balance between their royal duties and their personal lives. Their childhood. It was a bit of them she felt was crucial to protect for as long as they could. Thus, she set off for the academy, attending day classes and returning to the palace at the end of it. This gave some leeway for her to continue to attend events, representing her siblings when they were all off at Hogwarts.


 * As part of the compromise, Princess Charlotte's last year at WADA was her fourth year of education. Given the cruciality of OWLs, her fifth year was going to be massively important - important enough to have to cover all the bases at Hogwarts. Thus, her transfer was submit and approved, marking Charlotte as a Hogwarts student. She's currently in her seventh year, in ______ House, giving her studies her all before she turns towards her royal duties full-time.
