The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Much like her father, Taliha has a drive to do impossible and crazy things, regardless of the consequences. There is a limit to what she does though, because of huge fear of water. At the same time as being like her father, Talhia is much like her mother in the sense she always has to be moving and can't stand being still, even if its her foot just tapping to the natural beat of the universe. Combine always moving with her love of dancing and doing crazy stunts, there is never a minute were Talhia is actually still. A part from the inability to stop moving, Talhia is very positive and bubbly, to the point where she can always see the bright side of anything and anyone. Well, maybe not the man that shot her parents, but everyone else she can. Talhia doesn't make up something false positive image of everything, she just sometimes sees what others can't and tries to help everyone realize the positive side of themselves.

There is an odd sense that Taliha knows to much for her age, to much about magical creatures, magical plants and just magic in general. She can't help it that everything book she reads and everything she learns just gets absorbed straight into her head. And there is a lot in her head from everything her grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins and parents have taught her. Her ability to find anything to talk about doesn't help with taking in a lot of information. Taliha is known to be kind of annoying because of not being able to stop talking. She'll just say whatever's on her mind, whatever fact that pops in her head. She will talk to the point where it will almost seem like someone's ear is about to fall off and it gets even worse when she's nervous.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

As her grandmother and father were, Taliha was born in the middle of a forest that grows on a dune that dates back 18,000 years, not to far away from the home where her uncle and father grew up in.

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!

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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

6) What year is your character in?

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


 * B. No, this is not my first character.

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs.

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
