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!)

'''Hayden is nothing if not outgoing. She likes the busy and the colourful and sees no point in backing yourself into a corner because what good can you do from there? Life is short - her parents taught her that - and well, she has no intentions of wasting it.'''

'''The first thing you'll learn about Hayden is that a magic school is really not where she belongs. She is magic, but magic is not her thing; she's terrible at spells, terrible at potions and don't even try and stick her on a broom. Basically, she gets through her education by pointing her wand at things and hoping something happens. It might not do her OWLs any good but it doesn't bother her too much right now. Maybe in her seventh year it'll come back to haunt her.'''

'''Above all, Hayden considers her best qualities to be the more Muggley ones, the mundane skills: art and making tea and painting. Being raised by Muggles gave her an interest for science, too, especially things like chemistry and their inventions. Clocks are especially fascinating. She wanted to attend Muggle college but then she got that Salem letter and it turned everything upside down.'''

'''Naturally a chatterbox, Hayden loves talking. That's a nice thing about her, she never lets a conversation die: she'll find common ground with you and play to your interests and tell you stories about all the things she's seen her brother do. It's charming at times but she can get annoying quite quickly, especially when she's excited because she gets all animated and jumpy. Oh yeah, she loves physical affection - don't be alarmed if she hugs you every chance she gets.'''

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!)

'''Hayden's parents, her biological ones, are ghosts. Not literally, but they might as well be, seeing as they aren't anywhere and Hayden isn't sure whether they're even still alive. Basically, two young teenagers met and after a quick fumble in the dark, a seventeen-year-old girl found herself lumbered with a child she didn't want. So, Hayden found herself put up for adoption straight after birth - and that's the end of that.'''

'''Her adoptive parents stepped in pretty soon after. Married couple Fiona and Johnathan Browne, unable to conceive on their own so they wanted to give another child a chance in life; they chose Hayden, moved to America and started their own life.'''

'''It was a nice life, too. She grew up in a suburb, in a white house with a picket fence and a rose garden and had everything she could ever want in life. They even had a dog. Blessed with their own child, Hayden's parents poured everything into educating Hayden, determined to give her the best upbringing possible, and they really did. There was just one problem: they taught her everything Muggle. Of course they did, what were they to expect? Certainly not that Hayden's biological father was a wizard. Or that he'd passed his magical blood onto his illegitimate daughter.'''

'''So, Hayden grew up ignorant to her heritage or her powers, and didn't figure out anything was wrong until she started managing to change the colours of things just by touching them. Then her eleventh birthday arrived, as did the Salem letter, and things began to click into place.'''

'''The first three years were smooth-sailing, kind of, as although she was insanely untalented with a wand, she settled into Salem like she'd been there all her life. Friends were made, experiences were had and Hayden even managed to learn to colour-charm her hair when everything went wrong.'''

'''Long story short, her parents went bankrupt. Something dodgy happened with her father's business, some sort of market crashed and before she could blink, they were on a plane to England and living in the crappiest little flat in an equally crappy town. Hayden isn't one to complain, not when she knows how lucky she is to have such an amazing family, but god, she hated it, still does. It's damp and it stinks and she's pretty sure it's why she gets coughs all the time. However, now she attends Hogwarts, and she sticks out like a sore thumb. Bless her.'''

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!

'''She wouldn't know it, but Hayden looks exactly like her mother. From the pale skin and light green eyes to the bangs and the funky fashion sense, she is practically a mirror image. She's very short, barely reaching 5'2", and has a penchant for never really liking the way she looks so she's constantly changing things - charming her hair, buying new clothes and stuff. Whatever. Life's too short to stay the same. Model is Autry Haydon-Wilson.'''

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!)

Half-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!)

Nope.

6) What year is your character in?

Fourth.
