Forum:Liberty Stevens

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer. She is a highly-confident, smart, independent, stubborn, ambitious, unpredictable, and quiet young girl. She is, however, not a very trusting girl, and does not make friends or fit into social situations easily. Another little known thing is that Liberty is not used to people asking about her, she's not used to people caring for her so easily.

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why? Liberty hasn't figured out what she wants to do yet, but she knows that she wants to get away from her dad and his slight... mental issues.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Her idea of a free day is a day spent outside or up in her bedroom with her books and journals about her, and her father not around the house so she can just read and draw to her heart's content.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? '''1) Her locket, with a picture of her mom. 2) A little package of survival stuff 3) Her journal 4) Her sets of coloring pencils and pens 5) One photo of her mother and her father back on their wedding day.'''

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Seeing that she is just entering the wizarding society, she does not know enough about it to change anything, but once she gets used to it, I'm sure there's more things that she'll want to change about the society.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? She feels like either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff would be a good house for her, but she doesn't really care. However, she doesn't feel like she's a fit for Gryffindor... she doesn't feel brave or noble enough for that house.

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!) '''Being raised in such an environment as Liberty has, has shaped her in more ways than one. She is highly independent, having been basically forced to grow up quicker than most kids her own age. Liberty is also highly intelligent and dangerously stubborn at times, standing in front and taking the majority of what her father throws at her without crying out. Liberty is also quite ambitious, having her attention on trying to get out of the hellhole she lives in now, and is quite distrusting when meeting new people.

She tries to not draw attention to herself, preferring to remain in the shadows. Liberty is quiet, almost abnormally quiet in school, and has a fairly high IQ. The last time it was tested, she had recieved results of 113, ranking right in the middle of the high average section. She is strangely focused when in class, and is slightly unwilling to join class discussions unless she is directly addressed with a question.

To conclude, Liberty is an intellectual young girl. She may have bad things happen in her life, but she doesn't allow that to shape her. Rather, she uses those events and turns them into motivation for her. She is a highly-confident, smart, independent, stubborn, ambitious, unpredictable, and quiet young girl. She is, however, not a very trusting girl, and does not make friends or fit into social situations easily. Another little known thing is that Liberty is not used to people asking about her, she's not used to people caring for her so easily.'''

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!) '''Englishman Daniel Stevens had been invited to a country estate in the depths of Virginia for one of his old college friends' weddings. What he didn't expect was to meet a beautiful young woman, one of the bridesmaids, and feel strange feelings in his chest every time he looked at her. Rebecca Volkova was one of the bridesmaids present and knew she was being watched. Everytime she moved, she felt Daniel's eyes on her. She felt a bit strange, seeing that she didn't know the guy watching her, but after talking with the husband, she soon found out that he was called Daniel Stevens, one of his old college friends. Finally, she talked with Daniel right before the wedding came to a close, and that set their first date into being.

That one date turned into two, which turned into four, which turned into eight, and so on. Finally, all of those dates turned into one, amazing thing. Daniel, on Rebecca's front doorstep, on one knee, asking her to marry him. Rebecca was shocked into silence, before she nodded quickly. They married not too long afterwards, and were soon expecting their first child. On July 7th, 2022, Liberty Peony Stevens entered the world; however, tragedy soon hit the young family.

Liberty was in all actuality, due on August 7th, but her mother went into labor too early and the doctors couldn't do anything to stop it. Due to the bloodloss, and the shock from the sudden labor and delivery, Rebecca soon died on the table, but luckily the doctors saved the baby. Daniel was completely caught off guard with the news of his wife dying, but his daughter surviving. Liberty spent her first month of life in the hospital dealing with diagnosis upon diagnosis of various infections and disorders, but soon the little baby was home with her father. Some of the diagnosis she got was Severe Combined Immunodefiency and Sensory Processing Disorder, and they still plague her to this day.

The older she got, the more torn-up Daniel became, because his daughter, looked so much like his deceased wife and he couldn't bear with the memories. They still lived in America, even after Rebecca's death, but it became worse and worse for little Liberty. If she messed up in anyway, she was hurt by her father. In fact, it was during one of those times that her magic manifested. She was huddled in a corner, trying to avoid her father's flailing fists, as he was suddenly shoved backwards, giving the little girl time to escape up to her attic room.

The next winter, Daniel moved himself and Liberty back to England, living in a old rundown house in the countryside, but no one knew what was coming next. One night, two weeks before her eleventh birthday, Liberty heard noises in the kitchen, and crept downstairs to see a wolf, inside their house, inside their kitchen. She whimpered, but the wolf rushed the little girl, biting her on her side before leaving again as Daniel came down with a knife at his daughter's scream of pain. He immediately rushed her to the hospital, whereupon she remained in the hospital for a week with the bite. The little girl recieved her Hogwarts letter in the hospital, and now, just being released, has been exploring her new surroundings and spending time away from her father in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.'''
