Forum:Mona Lisa Hernández

The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. When people meet Mona Lisa Hernández, their first impression is often that she's everywhere at the same time. Born with a neverending supply of energy, it's no surprise that she was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid. Bubbly and enthusiastic, she may seem annoying to some, but most take a liking to her very fast. It's true that she can be somewhat naive at times. However, her good sense of humour and empathy makes up for her irresponsibility and unability to take anything seriously. Basically, Mona does what she feels like doing. She considers herself friends with almost everyone, but when she knows someone isn't worth her time, she's not afraid to stand up to them.

A huge part of Mona Lisa are her constant references and Louvre jokes. Since she was given a weird name, she might as well embrace it, right? Deep down, she's also a huge popculture nerd. She's particularly fond of the 1980s... maybe because she wasn't alive then. You can often see her singing an old song while dancing in a public place with everyone staring. And yes, she's one of the "life should be a musical" people. She'll never understand why people won't just break into song and start choreographed dance numbers out of the blue. Another characteristic are her superstitions. Mona Lisa would literally never ever let a black cat anywhere nearby.

As a clairvoyant, Mona can easily read others' thoughts. Even though she does do it quite often, she doesn't necessarily use what she reads. Sure, she might accidentally mention something she shouldn't know in a conversation, but that's a rare situation. And even if she finds out something private, she'll never even consider using it to harm the person in question. Unless it's a criminal or someone really, really nasty. She's got a strong moral code and sticks to it by all means. But that doesn't mean she can't have fun, right?

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.

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! Zoe Saldana

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!) Muggle-Born, no relations

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!) Clairvoyant

6) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher? As soon as she's approved, I'll sign her up as an Auror.
