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!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

'''Emmett's very polite and considerate. Sometimes overly so. He'll always put others before himself, no questions asked. He'll keep his opinions to himself so nobody gets offended. He hates conflict and will always try to find the peaceful solution to a problem. The guy couldn't hurt a fly if he tried. Which he wouldn't.'''

'''Emmett is also very smart, but again he doesn't show that for fear of offending people. Someone said that Emmett spends most of his day trying to not offend people. Which is a true statement. The last thing Emmett would want to do is upset someone. He's a very kind and caring individual and can't find it in his heart to hold a grudge.'''

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?

'''Emmett's 16 so no, he hasn't completed most of his life goals. He wants to become a world-renowned photographer. He wants a girlfriend. He wants to do well in school. All of which are possible and being worked towards. However Emmett also wants to play Quidditch, but he's kind of accepted that he's too nice for the sport.'''

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

'''Spending time with a romantic partner by walking around in nature taking photographs of things that catch his eye. No day could be better in Emmett's mind.'''

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

'''1: His camera. That thing is basically his life, he got when he first entered Hogwarts and he has done wonders with it. His photographs really are quite stunning.'''

'''2: His feelings notebook. If Emmett is frustrated, sad, mad or just irritated, he turns to this notebook. He also carries a different notebook around with him for the purchase of photographs and interviews.'''

'''3. His business notebook. As stated above, he keeps a record of all his transactions in here and writes down notes from interviews so he can write them out later.'''

'''4. His photographs. Emmett keeps his favorite photos and hangs them on his wall at home and they're plastered all over his school chest. Photos with his friends and families, his favorite quidditch players and teams and anything and everything in nature.'''

'''5. His ring. Emmett has this little silver ring that was a gift from a childhood friend back in France. He wears it around his neck on a chain now, because it's much too small for his finger.'''

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

'''He'd eliminate nosy journalists and photographers. Though ending world hunger would be nice...'''

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!)

Emmett Dedic shares some common traits with his big sister. They're both born for the press. There's one key difference... nosy would be the first word people would use to describe Ena. It's the last word one would use to describe Emmett. He respects people's boundaries and is absolutely disgusted with paparazzi photographers that follow people on their vacations. There are standards of respect in his view. Emmett always asks before he takes someone's photos. He always shows the person the photos and lets them choose which one they like best. Every person he's interviewed and photographed has been astounded by his polite and respectful attitude.

So you can probably guess that Emmett's a total gentleman. He couldn't hurt a fly and loves to help people. He's very good at listening to and comforting people. What you probably don't know is that he's super intelligent. He doesn't hide it exactly... he just doesn't flaunt his above average intellect in people's faces. He's very opinionated but doesn't usually vocalize his opinions. His logic 'I don't want to offend anyone'. Emmett is also very resistant to rule-breaking. Because obviously someone put that rule in there for a good reason. So it really shouldn't be broken. He tries to avoid conflict at all costs and would always prefer the peaceful and 'civilized' solution.

Emmett has a secret. He's a Quidditch fanboy. Especially the Norwegian National Team. Ena's favorite targets. He'd love to play Quidditch himself... and he can fly pretty good, but he's far too nice for the sport. So he photographs and interviews the players instead. He's very good at getting action shots, specifically.

There's one more thing you need to know about Emmett. He's a total hopeless romantic. He really wants to get a girlfriend (or boyfriend. He leans towards girls though). He just wants to be loved and to love somebody else. He sees love as the beautiful thing that catches you unawares. And if that's true... it catches Emmett a lot. He's constantly moving from crush to crush but can never work up the nerve to ask any of them out. 

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!)

On July 1, 2014 in New Zealand, Emmett Dedic was born to Wales and Elizabeth Dedic. He had an older sister who was a little over nine years old named Ena. His father was a pure-blood wizard and cricket player and his mother was a journalist.

At some point, Emmett developed a passion for photography. If he had to pinpoint exactly when this developed, he'd probably say when his family moved to the US. But they didn't stay long in the States before moving to France. Though that was short-lived as well. The family finally settled down in England where when Emmett was finally old enough he attended Hogwarts. He was promptly sorted into _______.

During Emmett's first years at Hogwarts he came off as a huge know-it-all. Eventually he realized that people were getting upset that he was constantly in the spotlight so he toned it back. He still did very well in his classes, mind you. Straight Os. But he let other people answer questions now. In fact, Emmett rarely raises his hand and hates discussion. He has plenty of opinions... he just doesn't want to offend anyone and despises conflict.

Emmett tried out for the ______ Quidditch team his first three year at Hogwarts. He never got the position. It wasn't that he couldn't play, he was just far too nice. So he settled for photographing the Quidditch players. He was very good at this and always seemed to take the photo at just the right moment to make the player look good. People absolutely loved his photos and at first he gave them out for free. Eventually he realized that he had a gift and charged a small fee. Not an unreasonable one mind you.

Emmett's also a fan of the British and Irish Quidditch league and of course, the International league. His favorite teams are definitely the Falmouth Falcons (totally surprising I know. He just likes their determination to win) and the Norwegian International Team. He's kind of bothered by the way his sister torments them. They don't really deserve that, they're people too. That's the biggest point of contention between him and his sister. Boundaries. Ena doesn't seem to respect them, Emmett would rather eat his own liver than cross those boundaries. Gossip columns absolutely disgust him.

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!

Jack Harries

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!)

Pure-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!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

Entering Sixth
