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!)

Eli is ambitious, impulsive, and assertive. He almost always gets what he wants with his sneaky and persuasive tactics, and doesn't like being told no. In fact, the only person who can tell Eli no is his brother. Eli tends to do things without thinking about the consequences afterwards and would rather live in the moment than think about how his decisions will affect him later on. Eli is quite self-assured and is confident in what he does. He isn't afraid to be different and couldn't care less what other people think of him. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it can be great in the sense that he has a strong personality, it can also be bad for him because this means Eli doesn' really have a filter. He says whats on his mind, and can be quite argumentative. He loves debating with people. Eli is pretty extraverted, and can bring even the shyest of people out of their shell. He is also quite the flirt and is more of a "ladies' man" than Ed, as his brother would say. Eli tends to be stubborn, and can hold a grudge with everyone except his twin.

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!) Elijah Thomas Quimby Winchester was born on April 3 in London, England to Anastasia Winchester just 7 minutes after his twin brother, Edmund. The twins' father, Mason King, had left long before they were born. Anastasia and Mason met at Hogwarts in their 7th Year. Mason was Slytherin and Anastasia a Gryffindor. They were an odd couple, but worked nontheless. Shortly after graduating, they moved in together. It wasn't long until Anastasia became pregnant with the twins. Mason didn't hesitate to pack up his bags and leave Anastasia behind along with his future children. He claimed that he wasn't ready for such a commitment and fled. Anastasia decided that she would raise her children on her own, regardless of how difficult it would be seeing as she had no other support and was living off a meager job at the Hog's Head. Anastasia completely underestimated how difficult this would prove to be once Eli and Edmund were born. She had not predicted how hard it would make her life, let alone the fact that she had given birth to not one, but two children. Anastasia had to start working extra shifts just to be able to provide for her family. It was at this time that her sister, Isabelle, decided to step in to help. Isabelle is a squib herself, as her and Anastasia's parents were both wizards. Isabelle was always there to look after Eli and Edmund while their mother was out working. All was well up until Anastasia started to take advantage of her sister's help for all the wrong reasons. Anastasia started using any extra tips she got to go out and get herself drunk. It wasn't bad at first, but as time progressed, Anastasia got more and more addicted to the alcohol coursing through her viens. Isabelle wasn't blind to her sister's state. She knew full well what Ana was doing, but no matter how many times she tried to talk to her, Anastasia wouldn't listen. She kept coming home drunk in the early morning. Isabelle was intent on hiding Ana's condition from the twins, and would always cover for her. Isabelle was always there to tell them it would all be okay. Anastasia started to resent herself for ever giving birth to the twins. She believed that if she hadn't decided to keep them, she would still be with Mason working an actual job and living a happy life. It all got too much for the woman to handle. On October 22 when Eli and Ed were six-years-old, Anastasia committed suicide. It was late at night and Eli had woken up from a nightmare. Naturally, he went to his mother's room to sleep with her, but was instead greeted with the horrific sight of her lifeless, limp body lying on the ground. Isabelle was quick to take Eli and his brother in.

This changed Eli. Although he was too young to understand at the time, as he got older everything became clear to him. Eli hated his mother for being so selfish. In his eyes, she had taken away her life and ruined his for the purpose of escaping from all of her problems while leaving him with a load of them. Eli grew to be resentful of his mother despite his aunt and brother's efforts to convince him that Anastasia was an honorable person. He believed that there is nothing honorable about running from your problems. This lead to the biggest fight Eli and Ed have ever had to this day. One day, Eli finally lost his temper and lashed out at his aunt. Eli refused to sit around, pity his dead mother, and blame it on himself. Eli could only see red as rage took over him. He was sick of everyone talking about what an amazing woman his mother was. Ed was almost as furious, but at Eli. How could he disrespect their mother like that? Eli refused to talk to Ed for a whole month until Ed finally made him talk. They were quick to forgive each other, but Eli was still firm of his belief. Once he was about 14, he began to question if his father really left him. What if Anastasia drove him away just like she had done to the twins? Ever since then, Eli has been intent on finding his father. This has proven to be harder than he thought however as all he has to rely on is his name, Mason King. Eli tried countless amounts of times to get information from his Aunt Isabelle, but she refuses to tell him anything about his father. She tells Eli that if he wanted to come back and meet him and his brother, he would. This hasn't stopped Eli, however, and he is still searching for his long lost father. Eli grew to think of Isabelle as more of a mother than Anastasia had ever been. She had seen him at his best and at his worst. Isabelle was there for all the important moments in Eli's life. She was there for him whenever he did anything stupid. Isabelle was there when Eli opened his Hogwarts letter. Eli began to call her Mum when he was about seven or so. Her and Ed always did and will always have a special place in his heart. Ed more so than anyone, however. Everything that Eli goes through, Ed does too. Ed is Eli's other half. He wouldn't be able to live without him. Despite their multiple differences and arguments, Eli loves Ed more than anything. Although he never really tells him that, he truly means it.
