'Mahiyain'' – mah-hee-YA-een – shy. Reyna is incredibly shy. She can talk to people yes, she'll smile and she'll make polite conversation, but she'll probably be doing all this with a stutter. After being incredibly sheltered growing up, then somewhat isolated in muggle school, she's used to being on her own. Not that she enjoys it. Just make tiyaga* and she'll start opening up more and more. She doesn't hate people who talk a lot, because she's a good listener, but also overly friendly people may startle her at first. She actually enjoys having something to listen to, but she can deal with comfortable silence as well. Mabait – mah-bah-EET – kind. She's nice to a fault. She goes out of her way to help people even though she knows that technically she is the one who should probably be getting the help. She's too forgiving to the point that she can never hold a grudge, even if someone does something horrible to her. She rarely stands up for herself because to her everything's okay and she hates conflict so much that she will go out of her way to avoid a fight, even if it means hurting herself. Still, sometimes if you push her too hard, she'll end up exploding and it'll all just be pointless because chances are it'll be in Filipino. ("TANGINA PINAASA MO LANG AKO TALAGA HA?? GAGO SANA DI NA LANG AKO NANIWALA SA 'YO") At least it helps her blow off some steam though? Still, no matter what, afterwards she'll end up shrinking back to her shy persona, stuttering out a "S-sorry!" and run away. Masipag – mah-SEE-pag – hardworking. What's a Hufflepuff without hard work? There's no way Reyna could've gotten anywhere in life without perseverance, a lesson that she reminds herself of everyday. She gets annoyed when people pity her, so she works on improving the accuracy of her blindsight because she tends to not tell people she can't see. Though sometimes the pity does work out (it gets people to do stuff for her!) she feels guilty taking advantage of people, or asking for too many favors. Masunurin – mah-soo-NOO-rin – obedient. She's a stickler for the rules. Breaking them and doing anything rebellious scares her, really. I mean, rules are there for a reason! She tends to follow anything people tell her to do, especially if she trusts them, and if what they're asking of her isn't obviously wrong. She's too trusting of people like that. She always sees the best in everyone, and doesn't see why people would have bad intentions. Simple – SEEM-pleh – simple. Even though her family isn't poor, rather, they're well-off, her mother instilled in her the value of simplicity. Reyna always makes do with what she has, and hates having to buy new things or spend money. She always looks for a bargain, and sometimes will continue using obviously broken things just because she's stubborn about having to buy a new one. She never complains about anything, knowing that some people have it far worse than she does and she should be thankful for everything that she has. Maramdamin – mah-ram-DAM-een – emotional. She's a sucker from drama and movies that'll make her cry. She's actually very iyakin**. Frustration? Happiness? Anger? Sadness? Will probably result in tears on her part. She hates being sad in front of people (because most of the time she doesn't feel like she has the right to be sad, it makes her feel guilty), so tries to be alone or with someone that she trusts enough. Emotions always overwhelm her, she never feels anything little by little – only all at once. *make tiyaga - be patient *iyakin - cries easily '''

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!)

'''James and Liza Rivera were happily married. Kinda. After a year of marriage, Liza finally had a daughter whom they named Reyna Celestina Gonzales Rivera. Afterwards, they were excited to have another kid, but found out from doctors that Liza couldn't have any more kids. Still wanting kids, they decided to find a surrogate, which they did in the form of Georgie Payne. During the pregnancy, James and Georgie slowly began to fall in love. After the birth of the child, a healthy baby girl named Diana, Liza forced Georgie to go away and stay away, obviously threatened. Instead, James chose Georgie and tried to run away with both his children and his new love. Liza had sort of accepted the fact that maybe James would want to leave, but there was no way anyone was taking away her precious daughter from her. Managing to track down the car they were using to escape, she followed them and shot at it. A crash happened and everyone managed to ecape relatively unscathed, except for Reyna. James, Georgie, and Diana were able to escape. Though it was incredibly painful to leave an injured Reyna without knowing what would happen to her, he knew that her mother take care of her. After all, maybe it was too much trying to take both children away from their mother. After a bad hit on the head, Reyna was afflicted with something called blindsight. Her eyes are still functioning, but she's cortically blind due to lesions in their striate cortex. Her occipital lobe was damaged in the accident. Her eyes still react to stimuli, and she can occasionally make out edges and blurry figures. Her eyes aren't dead, the information of her environment is going in, but it gets confused at the occipital lobe, so it never makes it to the visual cortex or if it does, it doesn't know how to process it. She has some accuracy guessing the details of her surroundings, but can't really completely see. She was only turning one year old at the time, so she would never know what it was like to really see the world. At least she wouldn't know what she's missing out on, right? She grew up learning Braille, with a fiercely overprotective mom and doting titas and titos. Liza, though scared for Reyna's safety, wanted her to grow up just like every other kid (with some restrictions). She started guitar lessons at the age of four, and can play it really well today after years of determination and hard work. She learned Braille and whlie she hates using computers, she can use them with something like JAWS screen reader. She started regular schooling at a private school eventually, and while at first it was incredibly difficult adjusting (especially since she didn't know how to make any friends), she persevered and got good grades. She grew up a very keen sense of hearing, it being heightened after kinda sorta losing her sight. A teacher opened up the concept of echolocation, which was popularized due to the efforts of Daniel Kish. Though at first Liza was hesitant, Reyna herself was very determined to learn. After years and years of training, at the age of eleven, she's very good at using noise in general to determine where objects are, but since she was ten, she's been trying to figure out how to use sounds of her own, like clicking her tongue or a pen. Even though this technique is normally used by totally blind people, she figured she'd learn it in order to improve the accuracy of her blindsight, and it did. Growing up, her dad started slowly making his way back into her life. He was on good terms again with her mom, and when Reyna was older she'd learn that Georgie committed suicide. She became insanely close with her younger half sister, Diana Payne. The girl has a habit of taking care of her and being her protector so much to the point that even if Diana is younger, Reyna calls her ate. At the age of ten, after being bullied in school for not being able see, and lots of accidents occuring courtesy of knocking over things she couldn't see (the bully had shaken her up too much for her to even try using her echolocation), she came home crying and stayed by herself in her room. Eventually, after releasing a loud scream of frustration, her windows and TV shattered. At the time, no one understood. They thought it was just magic, but Reyna had gotten hurt in the process, glass shards hitting her arm. She wasn't able to defend herself. A person had come explaining the magical situation to her mother, and while at first her family tried many different things ranging from prayer to anting-antings, they finally accepted the truth. After talking with James, it seemed that Georgie had the exact same problem. Georgie was going to Hogwarts, a magic school in Britain, and while Liza was initially reluctant to send her baby so far away, she realized that she can't have Reyna getting hurt from anything she can't control, especially since it looks like this magic will stay with her forever. Besides, Georgie would be with her to look after her, and she could come home every summer. Reyna was brought to Britain with her dad and her sister, and while she's definitely frightened at the prospect of a brand new environment, she knows that much like everything else thus far, she can survive it.'''

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!

'''Reyna cares about her appearance, but is too shy to ask people to help her with it, considering the fact she can't see properly. Thus, she looks pretty average, with occasionally messy black hair. Her eyes, still functioning, are a dark brown, much like everyone else in her country. She isn't pale, but not too dark either, a skin tone Filipinos call kayumanggi. Right now she has braces but she can't wait for them to be taken out.'''
