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.

'''Her sense of humor. So what if she planned it out for months. At the end of the day she's still able to laugh at herself when things go wrong instead. Instead of taking herself too seriously her adaptability and her innocence come out to play.'''

'''Her cautiousness is often believed to be disinterest. Given that she has to weigh the pros and cons that hesitation reads as indecision. The same goes for her sense of justice. She finds joy seeing those who deserve punishment get their comeuppance.'''

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?

'''She won't tell anyone this but she wants to have a family like hers one day. wants to figure out whether she's supposed to live in the Muggle world, the wizard world or both. She doesn't understand how Half-bloods and other Muggle-borns are supposed to live a secret life.'''

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

'''Listening to her father's stories or doing household chores with her mother. Her father's stories are better than movies, books or tv shows. But to her he's the most interesting man in the world. She loves to clean, it's boring and gross yet she actually likes cutting up old clothes for rags, making pot holders or blankets from scraps with her mother.'''

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

'''Her owl, Wyatt. He is her pet. Her wand even if magic died mysteriously she would still want it because it chose her. A beanie because her dad used to wear it when he was little. One of the blankets that she and her mom stitched together from old clothes. R pendant she has had since she was a born.'''

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

'''Muggle Placement Program. Kind of like Witness Protection, the family of a Muggle-born would have the option of being relocated to a wizard/muggle community to learn that magical kind and Muggles can co-exist peacefully.'''

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

'''Ravenclaw, she's determined to study every subject and take every class at Hogwarts if she can. She feels left behind being Muggle-born. She missed out on all the valuable years of homeschooling she would have gotten being born into a magical family.'''

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!)

'''River takes after her mother, Summer, she seems to be cautious as she can be extremely discerning, heavily weighing the options before making her choice-- the right choice. She also seems to her have taken after her father with her enjoyment of a good thrill. She has a somewhat latent dauntless attitude. She can be talked into doing something "wild" or "crazy" as long as she has the support of others to share the experience with. She's curious about people's thoughts and feelings. Her cautiousness is often believed to be disinterest. She allows herself to be easily mistaken for someone who is a weak and easily drawn into situations that she doesn't habitually take part in. Her own participation in bad behavior occasionally gets overlooked because of how rarely she's involved and how uncharacteristic it may appear to be. She seems to fly under the radar rather than standout. Her belief that 'life is fair' is ultimately what she uses to rule her every action regarding others. She enjoys to see people punished if they've been involved in wrong doing. She'll never complain about her own either, if she thinks she's earned it. She's always moved by people who are miraculously given an amazing gift after having lost something that was absolutely priceless to them. She knows the powerful gesture could never replace what has been lost.'''

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!)

'''River Hayley Fox was born in 2023 to Hunter and Summer, as their youngest child and only daughter. She has one older brother; Lake Storm. River is four years younger than Lake. She would not have known had someone else not told her. River was born deaf. She is also Clairvoyant, she can read thoughts eliminating the need to audibly hear voices. The ability went unnoticed to her until her parents brought her to doctors and she cleverly read their thoughts. In an attempt to be a normal family they traveled to the Dominican Republic on holiday. A few days after trying to get used to the heat, her father convinced River and her brother Lake to go on a jungle safari into the outback where they camped out by the mountains. River was terrified at the thought of sleeping out in the open with little in the way of shelter, and her brother torturing her when he got bored. She was tempted to stay behind with her mother. River was eventually talked into taking the short overnight trip with her father and brother, a decision she does not regret. When the trio returned Summer took them to swim with sea lions, dolphins, and sharks at the Ocean World Adventure Park. It was another decision River was hesitant to agree to, at first, yet wound up having nothing to be timid about.'''

'''Lake was persistent in an attempt to get River to go up the "spooky" sky parlor stairs, something she refused to do without her mother or father leading her or directly behind her. River was tricked into "leading the way" to prove she wasn't a baby only for Lake to trap her. River would have surely lost her mind from fear had she not caused to the door to rapidly fling open. She told her parents all about what happened how she was wanted the door to open, then it did. Without Lake willing to admit he locked River up there, they didn't believe her. Lake told their parents River had gotten stuck because she hadn't secured the door. He convinced them he let her out, and they believed him, because he's older. Back at home where the family dynamic returned to normal Lake and River resumed their sibling rivalry. Their father Hunter passed away from a preexisting diagnosed condition. On the same day their father's funeral an incredibly unusual fight breaking out between the siblings afterward.'''

'''Unbeknownst to the Fox family, River was a witch, within days of her "sky parlor episode" she learned she was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Magic is frightening to River, but she loves it. She is afraid of how much she doesn't know what magic can do, she is exactly as anxious to learn. River always dreamed of being magical. She dreamed of being half fairy, or part Centaur. River liked to read mythic fiction, she wanted to be a theoretical physicist like her father was. More recently she wants to study Arithmancy, and Charms. She became interested in the various branches of magic while exploring at the wizarding bookstore. River had to be escorted away from the Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, and Charms sections after one bookseller threatened her mother claiming he would have River banned.'''

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!

'''River like her older brother, Lake, take after their maternal family in looks. She has dark brown eyes inherited from her mother as she did not inherit the same hazel eyes as her father, and paternal grandfather. River does have her father Hunter's curly black hair, she goes to great lengths to make it straight. She shares her mother Summer's and her grandfather's River's features mostly.'''

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!)

Muggle-born

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!
