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.


 * p:
 * n:

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?


 * at this point in her life, she wants to become a writer, or a composer.

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


 * despite how lame it sounds, caramel's ideal way is under a pillow and blanket fort, curled up with her mother, sister and brother, reading some of her favorite books or watching any and every movie possible through her dvd player. if possible, she'd also have chip over.

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


 * a) her entire collection of books. all of them. she loves reading and they keep her entertained.
 * b) her dvd player. while she knows books wouldn't fail her, this is also a good way to keep her entertained.
 * c) her movie collection. what's the point of having a dvd player if she can't have her movie collection?
 * d) enough pillows and blankets for a fort. she likes to hide away from the world this way. it hides all the scary.
 * e) her dad's old beat up portable radio. it reminds her of him when he's not around, not to mention she finds muse for writing by listening to old music.

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


 * she doesn't understand much about the wizarding society to know what she'd change.

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


 * she doesn't know much about the houses. that said, if she did, she'd choose ravenclaw, for the sole reason of hoping to hear a particularly challenging riddle she can't solve.

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!)


 * caramel craves knowledge. she's already a very brilliant girl, but she craves more. she wants to know every single beautiful foreign word that exists, just as much as she wants to know the number of magic roots. she's a nerd and she embraces it with her whole heart. she's often teased about it by her siblings and step-siblings alike, but caramel has a thick skin. she hardly pays attention to other people, let alone what they think about her and her tendency to seek out the answers of the impossible. that said, she is definitely going to hate it if people ridicule her for her beliefs, if only because she's thought about them so much.


 * caramel is the kind of girl that values intellect more than she does looks. she's never one to judge a book by its cover. that said, caramel is a girl who finds it easy to read people. she likes surveying people, figuring out what kind of person they are as well as all their little quirks and peeves. she loves discovering new things about people, just as much as new discoveries excite her. she cares much more about future - including possible discoveries - than relics of the past. she's an absolute nerd and there's really no point in trying to disprove it.


 * while caramel is no stranger to reading people and their intentions, she can be fooled emotion-wise. she may be very bright, but she really doesn't know how to handle emotions. the best she could do is pat your back, with a broom, standing far, far away. don't get me started on her expressing emotions. she just doesn't understand them, let alone knows how to handle them. it makes her very vulnerable and prone to getting hurt super easily.


 * while caramel isn't good with emotions, she is downright amazing and passing on advice. it's just who she is. her emotions don't block her view of what's going on, she can look at things objectively. it's why both her siblings come to her whenever they may need help with something. caramel is always happy to help, but she's also known to slide in brutally honest comments. she never shows remorse for her comments, because she's been raised to believe being honest is the best thing.

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!)

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!


 * her fc is lilly kruk.

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!)


 * she's currently trying to learn up to ten different languages, but she's not quite there yet, if it counts.

6) What year is your character in?


 * first this year, or the next. not 100% sure.

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.

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)?


 * 10/1
