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!) 'Insert teenage girl struggling with how to open a bag of chips for a total of ten minutes before finally giving up, finding a knife, and stabbing it, only having it explode all over her room here. This is Lei. Insert teenage girl beating a middle aged white man at Wizards' Chess in two moves, winning her 88th match of the year, solidifying her reputation as a prodigy'' here. This is also Lei. Lei in front of a camera is this: mysterious, calculating, and extremely intelligent. She's a master of strategy and almost always, always win every single one of her matches. Why is she into Wizards' Chess, anyway? It's such a pretentious white guy sport. That is why exactly. She thinks it's about time it became an awesome black girl sport, and she did exactly that. When Lei wants something, she gets it, not because she's competitive or anything like that, but because there's an adrenaline rush in winning. It's like drugs, but better because it doesn't have any serious repercussions on her health, and she doesn't really wanna die any time soon. How will she win more trophies if she does? Lei without the camera is this: helpless, lost, and incredibly naive. Her eyes which are normally narrowed in concentration when she's playing are now big and clueless like a deer caught in the headlights. While she always means incredibly well and she just wants to do good, Lei often gets lost along the way, and needs guidance a lot. She does whatever she can to make her loved ones feel happy, and often follows her instinct even if it's ridiculous because when she doesn't know what to do, she trusts her gut. Which is 99% of the time. She's quiet a lot as well mostly because she's afraid of saying the wrong things. She's a very skilled strategist and is also fond of finding patterns in everyday life. Now if only she could find a way to maneuver real life.'''

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!) 'Let's skip over all of what Lei considers the "unimportant" bits and go straight to what Lei considers to be her real'' birth: June 5, 2024. AKA, the birth of a genius. Aleina Clayton is five years old when she watches her irst Wizards' Chess game between her dad and a colleague, and afterwards, demands that he teaches it to her too. So she learns, and she practices, and eventually, at the age of 10, she becomes a champion. Ever since Lei was born (for real this time), her parents felt that there was something different about her, and as she grew older and older it became evident that she was just a genius, so this whole chess hobby didn't really shock them. Lei was reading the morning paper by six and solving Sudoku in pen in just a minute or two by five. Her parents just let her do her own thing. They'd often joke that she raised herself. Homeschooled because she dedicated so much of her time to chess, Lei grew up not really knowing how to interact with people. She knew the basic concepts and all but putting it into action was easier said than done. Not liking having to do things she didn't excel at, Lei continued to isolate herself and spend most of her time with either family, competitors, or mentors. As Lei grew older and older, her competitors grew closer and closer to her age until she finally got fed up with the fact that her social skills were limited and decided the only way for her to get good at making friends is if she is placed in a situation where she's forced to do so. There was one simple answer: school. Lei immediately told her parent that she wanted to start going to school at Hogwarts after deeming it the best of all her option. Now, she is a new student in third year, having been sorted into Ravenclaw. She's made a special deal with the Headmistress to allow her to leave campus sometimes for matches, because she enjoys class and wants to stay and learn (or at least, until she realizes she already knows everything). Hopefully Hogwarts won't be too boring for her, though that's a given academic-wise. Still, she has to remember, she's in this for the heart, not the head. Life is a chess game and she is the queen.'''

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 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!) None.

6) What year is your character in? Third.
