The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.


 * Briar Thackeray – though she does not know this to be fact herself – is an amalgamation of many versions of who she might have been, each one created by someone else. A different shadowy figure at the edge of a memory that is unfailing in only one thing, and that is failing her in the first place, when it matters. Little of her is a result of her own genuine originality.

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!
 * Her faceclaim is Jodie Comer.

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!)
 * Briar is, unfortunately or not, unaware of her blood status, as is the case when it comes to the larger majority of her heritage – she is, however, a half-blood – but has no magical relations of major significance.

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a 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.

6) What year is your character in?
 * Fifth.

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character. – (While this is not my first character due to my previous accounts, I'd like to be treated like a new user regarding character limits and exotics. This is a measure to make sure I commit to the characters I make, rather than hastily making too many and causing myself to panic or underdevelop a 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"?
 * N/A

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
