6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. 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!)

''Bennett, or Ben as people often call him, is a somewhat quiet boy. He is optimistic, even in the face of bullying and family strife, and smiles a lot. However, everything going on around him can be overwhelming, and he often finds himself depressed, though he tries to guard it with a smile. If you get close enough to him, you will be able to tell when he is truly happy or whether he's just pretending, but he often tells people he trusts about his feelings before they can figure it out. He is humble, due to his past. Overall, he is a sometimes depressed person with a dark past and some self-esteem issues as a result.''

7) Write about the history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. 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!)

''Bennett Wells' childhood has been nothing short of tragic. He was meant to be a twin, but his brother, being too small, died at birth. Also, his mother died of complications soon after they arrived home. Thus, Ben and his father, Thayer, were left alone in their small apartment in London. Thayer travelled often for work, and left Bennett with a friend to go to a meeting in Texas. While there, Thayer met a beautiful woman by the name of Grace Marshall. Grace had a child when she was young, and the boy's father left not long after. As a result her son, Harold, who was nine (eight years older than Bennett), did not have a father for much of his childhood. Thayer and Grace connected based on their similar histories, and began dating. A year later, Thayer and Bennett moved to Texas permanently, and the two were married. It was Grace who first called Bennett "Ben."

Soon after, Ben was to go to school. However, he never truly fit in with the boys at his elementary school, and soon became the target of bullying. Things were no better at home; Harold did not like Ben, and tried to ignore his existence, leaving Ben with no brother to look up to. And with Thayer still travelling across the country for work, Ben was often alone with Grace, who he sometimes directed the blame for all his problems at. At the age of seven, Ben's life was thrown into turmoil again, when work called Thayer back to Britain and the four were forced to move there. This only made things worse. Harold placed the blame on Ben and Thayer for forcing them to move out, and he was mean to Ben as a result. Harold and his new British friends often picked on him. One day, Ben had enough and decided in his eight-year-old mind that he would run away. After about an hour, he arrived at a playground in the next town over. This is where he showed his first signs of magic.

Ben was sitting on a swing when a small boy ran out of the nearby woods. He was crying, and looked like he had a black eye. Ben was about to get up to help him when three bigger boys ran out of the woods behind the boy. They grabbed him and began to beat him up. Ben jumped off the swing and yelled at them to stop. At that moment, the wind began blowing furiously as the boys turned their attention to Ben. A branch tore from a tree, however, blowing into the boys and knocking them over. The boys, terrified at what Ben had done, ran away. Ben helped the little boy to his feet. He stammered his thanks and ran off. Ben began to cry and ran home, since he didn't mean to hurt anyone. Two years later, he would receive his letter from Hogwarts.''

8) Write about your character's appearance. How 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!



''Ben is a small boy with dirty blonde hair. He is skinny and has blue eyes. He wears a smile sometimes, and a frown other times. He often wears plaid, button-up shirts to formal events, and his favorite sweatshirt other times. (This doesn't have much to do with his appearance, but I'll put it here anyways) He actually has a bit of an American Southern accent, due to spending most of his life there, but he tries to cover it up due to his hatred of his time in Texas.''

9) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

Muggle-born

10) 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 likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!)

N/A

11) What year is your character in?

Will be a first year
