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!)

(I want the majority of Ansel's personality to develop with him, I'm only going to put the parts I'm sure of.)

Ansel is a queer mix of Slytherin cunning, and Gryffindor bravery - he can swing from one view of things to the other and generally finds it easy to see both sides. He's not really an archetypal Slytherin bully; he's probably more of a Gryffindor in the respect that he is social and enjoys spending time around his friends. Ansel doesn't find it hard to follow rules as long as he sees a clear reason why he should, and this goes the same for answers in class. If he doesn't see a reason to back someone, he won't do it, and he will often express his opinion to counteract the idea - this can often lead to unintentional debates and chaos. He is polite and punctual, and disapproves deeply of pranking. Whilst not overly an extrovert, he can see the value of having friends around and generally feels happy in the presence of people.

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!) Ansel's half-brother Travis was the first of the family, before his father Viktor moved on to the former-Hufflepuff Finnish witch Alisa during his Nordic travels. Ansel's father was a traveller, and he had not yet been to the Nordic countries; he had never gotten many OWLs during his time, not viewing them as important. He was the reckless, brawn Gryffindor of the family - Ansel's paternal aunts, Violet and Katelyn, were the Ravenclaw brains that narrowly stopped their brother from failing.

Ansel was concieved on a February night, unfortunately not long before Viktor was due to leave Finland, his last destination - he'd left his young son Travis with Katelyn, and had not mentioned him to Alisa. When Alisa found out about Viktor's deceit through an unassuming Katelyn wishing her well, she was deeply offended. Changing her mind about visiting Britain when Ansel was concieved, she moved to Southern Finland where her school flame, ex-Ravenclaw Tino, lived.

It was a mistake on her part, but she managed to get a paid job in the Muggle sector of the Finnish city she had relocated herself to. It was enough to support her and Ansel when he was born, even if it was in a small house and if she regretted the move in the first instance. Approaching Tino with much reluctance, she found he'd agreed to help, much to her delight. He became a sort of father/brother figure to Tino in his first years, and taught him English; and he made the largely unpopular decision that he should meet Travis, his real brother.

Alisa herself had never seen Travis, and she daren't face Viktor again for fear of her anger taking the better of her - so Tino went instead, and found the household to his liking. Travis seemed to like his younger sibling quite a lot, and grew up unawares. Viktor wanted to reunite the family, but neither Alisa nor Travis' birth mother were going to have it. The Brit pointed out that Hogwarts was the best Wizarding school around, and that Alisa herself had been there and had a wonderful experience. But Alisa did not want to come to Britain, and that was it. She agreed that during the Hogwarts times he would be able to go to Hogwarts, and spend Easter with his father. She would come to Britain for his birthday and Christmas, but his summers must be spent in Finland. These arrangements were to begin the year before he would begin Hogwarts, with intermittent visits with Tino beforehand.

Alisa became engaged to Tino the summer after the talks were made, and for all intents and purposes Tino was his real father as such. Travis would sometimes take small visits to Finland, but the brothers were largely apart. At the age of six Ansel shattered a glass filled with beer, his first sign of magic that initially made Tino angry, and then proud. It was not until he was ten, however, that the arrangements began and he came to England to see his family and recieved his letter to Hogwarts just before he left for Finland once more.
