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.

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?

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

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

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

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?

Maureen wants to be a Ravenclaw as she's a smart person and wants to learn new things. She wouldn't like getting sorted into Slytherin as it is home to some... not very nice people.

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!)

Maureen is a bright, intelligent girl. She likes having great grades and is quite depressed if she gets low ones. She's also very loyal, honest and always eager to learn. Although sometimes a little bossy and... well, too honest, Maureen can be a cheerful and trustworthy friend. She prefers the company of others than being alone. Her childhood dream was to stop all injustice, but now, as she knows it's impossible, stopping Pure-Bloods from being rude to Muggle-Borns would be enough.

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!)

Maureen was born in Curreeny, Ireland and grew up there. As her mother was a witch, she knew all about the wizarding world since early childhood. Since the age of six, she enjoyed supporting the Kenmare Kestrels. Maureen was an only child, so she was always a little lonely. She spent hours dreaming about the days when she will finally attend Hogwarts and have many friends as well as interesting things to learn. She was always fascinated by her mother's house, Ravenclaw. She read the old textbooks her mother used at school over and over, even though she didn't understand much.

On Maureen's 11th birthday (April 8th), when she got her Hogwarts letter, she was propably one of the happiest people in Ireland at that time. But her dream didn't come true that easy. A few days before the start of the school year, she became very sick. At St. Mungo's Hospital, she was told that she had dragon pox and had to wait a month until she can go to school. Maureen's hopes were ruined. She thought everyone will be friends and learn a lot after a month. But luckily, one of the hospital workers told her his story: he missed the entire first year at Hogwarts because of a bad illness. That cheered Maureen up as she realized... that it could've been worse.

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!

Maureen's appearance (stereotypical Irish): long, red hair, usually down or in a braid, green eyes, pale skin, some freckles. Likes elegant clothes.

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!)

Maureen is a Half-Blood, her mother, Ella O'Connor, is a witch. She works in the Irish Ministry of Magic. She told Maureen's father about her true identity after they married. It was... quite a surprise for him.

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!)

This is my first character, so she doesn't have any special powers and isn't a different magical race.

6) What year is your character in?

Fourth Year (14 years old)

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)?
