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.

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!)

Zahira’s parents wanted a gentle, quiet, girly, elegant daughter. Well… they were slightly disappointed by her. The exact opposite of their expectations, Zahira is confident and not afraid to speak her mind. Tough and tomboyish, she has something in her that makes people like her. Of course her behavior is perceived as a great disgrace by her family, but she learned not to care. Sometimes she may be too honest or cheeky, but she’s very loyal and always stands up for what she believes in, such as women’s rights.

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!)

Zahira was born in Britain, but she is Arab, and her parents are traditionalists. That means she’s been raised to be a specific type of person. The fact that she was female changed her fate a lot. Her parents expected her to aim for being a good wife and mother. However, despite being told, taught and pleased, she never wanted that. Even when she was a young girl, her dreams were most unacceptable to her parents- she wanted to be a soldier or a racing car driver. She often disobeyed them.

When she was 6, she discovered her magical skills. After another family argument she was sitting in the garden of her family’s house staring angrily at a bush. Suddenly its leaves started burning. Shocked, she brought some water and extinguished the fire. She didn’t tell her parents about it, inventing a story in case they asked about the bush. Many more accidents happened around her later. Finally, at her 11th birthday, her Hogwarts letter arrived, along with a member of the school’s staff. She finally knew there were more people with abilities like hers. Her parents reluctantly let her go there, but made her promise to wear a hijab all the time. Of course, she didn’t want to, and took it off on the Hogwarts Express as soon as King’s Cross Station was no longer visible, excited to be finally free.

She always felt better at Hogwarts than at home. Her years there were the best in her life.

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! Her appearance model is Shyema Azam.

She’s tall and slim, hasmedium-length, dark brown hair- she cut and dyed it in secret so when her parents saw it, it was too late. Her skin is tan, and she has brown eyes. She likes red clothes. When her parents are able to see her, she wears a hijab (covers her hair and neck, but not her face), too.

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!)

She’s a Muggle-born. Her parents were shocked by her magical skills.

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!)

No special abilities

6) What year is your character in?

Fifth Year

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.

'''      B. No, this is not my first character.'''

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?

This is my 2nd, so no special ones.
