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. Strengths:

Weaknesses:
 * Intelligent
 * Hard-working
 * Independent
 * Confident
 * Charming
 * Stubborn
 * Can be rude
 * Speaks her mind
 * Snarky

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? She'd like to become a Ministry employee. Much of her family was one, so she wants to follow their path. Also she wants to make some sort of difference.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?

With a nice cup of tea, in a comfy chair with a TV. She loves soft things, tea, and just relaxing after a long day.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?

-Her white diamond earrings (They were gifted to her by her grandmother before she died; they are her most expensive and treasured item)

-Her jellyfish lamp (Though it must stay at home and not at Hogwarts, Shay loves it with all her heart. She bought it a few years back with her mother in their visit to Texas, and it's really special to her.)

-Her fishing net hammock. (Hung up in her dorm, Shay crafted this up. It's her spot, in the comfort of the hammock, being able to practice spells and do things and be comfy)

-Her cat, Muddles. (She's had Muffles ever since she was 10, and he was a newborn kitten back then. He was the runt of their old cat, Penguin's, litter and they kept only him.)

-Her fairy lights (Strung up around her dorm bed, her multi-colored lights are quite pretty, and she really likes them.)

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?

She's quite content at the current moment of how the world is.

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!)

Shay is quite intelligent. Able to know a lot at one time, and able to handle an info pour upon her. Shay is hard-working. She will work to get what she wants, when she wants it. And she will not stop until she succeeds. She is independent, and hardly asks for help. She is sturdy and holds herself up. Though this doesn't mean she doesn't want friends.

Shay is very confident. She does what's best for her body, and makes sure it's fit and fed. She doesn't think lowly of herself, but she doesn't believe she's above others. Shay is quite charming, and very colorful, she can make good first impressions. She's careful of who she treads with, though. If she doesn't agree with how they act, she drops them and leaves.

Now, despite being good, Shay has flaws, like everyone else. She's very stubborn. She does what SHE wants, and not what other students tell her to. She can be very rude, and hurt other's feelings, and it depends if she says sorry or not. She speaks her mind all the time. She's not limited by society's mind, and says what she wants when she wants to. She's quite snarky and defensive when you push her buttons. She'll bite your head off if  you make her too angry.

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!)

Helen and George Beaumont got married 17 years ago. They had Shaelyn a year later. Shaelyn was a messy little baby, running around the house causing trouble. She was always quite open to magic. She knew a lot by the age of 6. As a child, Shay caught onto things fast. She was the top of her classes in muggle primary school, until she was yanked out at ten. Because she was a wizard. She spent a lot of time with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. She loved most of her family.

At the age of 4 she saw a cat fall off a small cliff. Since she loved cats so much, she caught it midair and returned it to the ground. Though the cat probably could've just landed safely. Her parents, who were with her, were very happy. They took her home and taught her more about Hogwarts. She was curious, and wanted to learn more, so 7 years later, she went to Hogwarts.

Hogwarts was fine for her. The first six years, she got okay grades in mostly everything. But in Potions, she got better grades because her mother worked with potions for a long time and she helped. She used most her time to explore the castle and it's ground, finding little places to relax in. She likes it there, and is now in her Seventh Year.

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 model is Lydia Rose.

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!) Pure-blood

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

6) What year is your character in?

Seventh
