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!) As a member of the ancient pure-blood House Stark, Jalen carries himself with a slight air of nobility and superiority. He doesn't despise half-bloods or muggle-borns by any means, but he does have a somewhat classist attitude toward them. Jalen was raised to believe that he was destined for leadership and greatness, and often has a hard time when he is knocked down a peg. Despite this, he does his best to be kind and loyal to those he considers friends and just towards those he considers enemies.

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!) Jalen is the only son of Richard Stark, a well-respected magic historian. His mother Rose died giving birth to him, and his father has always borne a resentment toward him because of it. In addition, Richard often travels across the country for speaking engagements and guest lectures, and as a result much of Jalen's upbringing has been by his Old Nan and other household employees.

Fully aware of his father's resentment toward him, Jalen has lived most of his life with the express purpose of earning his father's forgiveness, though he has always fallen short. Despite being his only son, Richard has little regard for Jalen's life and hasn't hesitated to put him in situations that could have gotten him killed. One such time was when he forced Jalen to ride his old firebolt when he was only 6 years old and without any training at all. Jalen suffered grievous injuries as a result and had to spend a week in St. Mungo's. When he turned 11, Jalen received his letter from Hogwarts. Richard was away on business at the time, and when Jalen excitedly sent him the news, he received only a Howler with a curt "Good." as the sole message. His Old Nan saw him off at King's Cross, and Jalen is ecstatic to start his Hogwarts journey. Mostly he hopes that Hogwarts will provide him a venue to do something that will finally earn his father's love, but part of him secretly hopes that he will find a new version of himself; a self that is free to live his life unhindered by the stigma of his father's resentment.

8) Write about your character's appearance. How 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! Jalen is tall for his age, with fair skin and wavy brown hair. Model: Sebastian Croft

9) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

10) 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 likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!) None.

11) What year is your character in? First Year
