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.

Strengths:
 * Observant: She is very intuitive to whenever one of her friends is off their game. She assesses the situation well and always seems to figure out what her friends need or how she needs to act.
 * Empathetic: She's a good listener and tries her best to draw on her own experiences to give good advice and let the person know that they're not alone.
 * Creative: She has a way of thinking outside the box and thus can come up with innovative, unique solutions.
 * Open-Minded: she has "flexible" morals and will often decide depending on the situation. She's always open to new ideas and thoughts and does not judge anyone for anything.
 * Rational: She's not an impulsive or brash individual and will think things through before acting on anything or saying anything she may potentially regret.
 * Fast Learner: She loves learning languages and tends to learn things quickly!

Weaknesses:
 * Indecisive: She'll literally take FOREVER to make up her mind and will probably end up saying "I don't know, up to you!" Only in dire situations can she be more assertive, but most of the time she needs to turn to people for their opinions.
 * Isolated: She needs her alone time constantly and sometimes for lengthy amounts of time. If you try interacting with her during one of these times, she may come off as dismissive and flippant, but it's really only because she lacks the energy for socialization.
 * Lazy: She can be a bum, in terms that she doesn't apply herself to class sometimes or she'll skip out on doing something because she feels too tired. In terms of classwork, she usually teaches herself after class. In class, naps are optional but encouraged.
 * Passive: She doesn't like being pulled into any drama and sometimes doesn't know how to act more aggressively or firmly, because she likes to sit conflict out and not want to take any sides.

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?


 * Mireya's ultimate goal is to explore everything and anything. She hates being confined to one thing and dreams of trying new things and traveling to different countries. She hates being tied down and wants to spread her metaphorical wings and see beautiful sights and try all different things, whether it be food or dances.

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


 * Ideally, she would go out and go to a city! She loves walking around, browsing, shopping, and eating. Her best day would be spending lots of money and eating lots of good meals (and probably also taking good pictures). When she gets home at the end of the day, she feels satisfied and tired in a happy way, knowing she treated herself well.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?
 * Notebook: She loves to jot down ideas or write small compositional tidbits as her creative outlet. Her notebook holds a lot of memories as well as ideas that she likes to read back and add on to.
 * Glasses: She doesn't technically need them anymore, but she still likes holding on to them because, first of all, they were expensive. She also just really likes how they've been a side part of her life and she likes to see them and reminiscence about her younger days.
 * Perfume: A gift from her best friend, the perfume was from a Muggle makeup shop that smells like vanilla and toffee candy. It's her favorite scent and even though she rarely uses it, she cherishes the present.
 * Wooden star charm: A family heirloom that her great-grandmother kept as a gift from her husband when he went to war. Mireya was always told that the star was good luck and if she was missing someone in her life, if she held onto it, they'd return to her when the time was right.
 * Record player: Her father collected records and he would play a song every single day. She loves the record player and has a deep sentimental attachment to it.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?
 * Mireya would change the societal stigma against Squibs. She finds it unfair that they are often viewed as lesser than the average wizard because of circumstances they could not control. With many in her family being Squibs and having been ridiculed for it, it is an issue she feels strongly about.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? Mireya identifies as a Ravenclaw because she loves how the house embodies not only intelligence, but creativity and diversity. She does not think being simply book smart is the only way to be intelligent, and she thinks Ravenclaw is the great epitome of that ideal. However, she is not opposed to any 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!) In a nutshell, though, she's a girl that's for herself half the time and for everyone else the other half. She likes her alone time and likes to be alone with her thoughts, but then she'll want to see her friends and family and do anything with them as long as they're together. She's independent, but she loves the people close to her and wants to do everything she can for them. As mentioned before, she also loves learning and is a creative soul, but sometimes lacks the physical energy to really do anything about it. She may seem lazy, but be assured that there's a brilliant mind and a bundle of energy hiding behind the resting bitch face.
 * Mireya is one of the most unique people you'll meet. Some people say they're smart, or cruel, or ambitious, but Mireya does not identify as anything.She has a complex character that's hard to completely figure out. She's humorous and charismatic with friends, but quiet and intimidating at first glance. She is creative and witty but doesn't really know how to implement those qualities into something beneficial. You could say Mireya is just a confused happy-go-lucky girl who's still trying to find her path in life and what she's meant to do.

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!) Mireya's name was the result of a compromise — a combination of the Japanese name Miyana and the French name Marie. Likewise, she grew up in a culturally diverse household, perfectly enjoying the two cultures of her parents. She had one foot in the Muggle world and one foot in the wizard world, as her parents strived to integrate the two into her life. Alongside getting her first phone, she also received her first spellbook and broom. She had an extremely happy childhood. When the time came to attend school, she was apprehensive at first about attending Hogwarts but has loved the past three years of being under the professors' tutelage. She is now a fourth year and anticipates the rest of the years to come.
 * Mireya is a half-blood witch, born to a wizard mother and Muggle father in London. She is of Japanese and French descent, with her mother being Japanese. Although her mother wanted her to attend her alma mater, Mahoutokoro, she eventually decided that Mireya should attend the school of her own home country instead.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here!
 * Model: Kim Chungha

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)
 * Half-blood

5) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)
 * Besides being a hyperpolyglot (being an expert in several languages), she does not have any other abilities

6) What year is your character in?
 * Fourth

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.

''':B. No, this is not my first character.''' (technically)

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)? Shademoon (talk) 21:40, June 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * I had five characters two years ago, but since I'm back I'm starting again completely with a fresh start!
