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!)

Because of his experiences, Trevor learned that sometimes it’s better to be seen and not heard. He is a reserved and quiet boy who doesn’t say much. He is humble, as his Aunt has subconsciously convinced him that, because his blood isn’t pure, he can’t make anything of himself. Trevor doesn’t have many friends, so he values the few that he has and would stick up for them in any situation. He is brave, but only when he has to be, and would rather stand back and watch things unfold. Overall, Trevor is a very kind but reserved boy who doesn’t like putting himself out there but will protect his friends if he needs to.

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!)

Trevor’s mother, Amanda Parks, a witch, married his father, Edward Crutchley, a Muggle. The two were very happily married and gave birth to a daughter, Melissa, along with Trevor, who was born two years later. Shortly after Trevor’s birth, however, Melissa and Amanda were killed in a tragic accident, leaving Edward to take care of Trevor. Edward raised Trevor for a few years but, when Trevor was five, decided that Trevor should be raised by wizards and entrusted him to the care of Amanda’s sisters. However, Edward was unaware of the dynamic in the family. His brother and sister in law had always treated Edward with respect, but in reality, they resented the marriage between Amanda and Edward because they were blood purists. Amanda hadn’t told Edward that her marriage was frowned upon by her family for fear of upsetting him, so Edward had no idea that Aunt Helena and Uncle Bob would view their half-blood nephew Trevor as dirty. Edward, with the best of intentions and with a heavy heart, turned his son over.

Things started out reasonably well at Trevor’s new home. Helena was cold towards him, but Bob, trying to respect his sister, treated Trevor as well as he could. However, Trevor was a bit mischevious —- no more than the average six year old —- and Helena began to lose patience. As Helena grew more grumpy so did Bob, and the relationship soured. They treated Trevor’s younger twin cousins (Fiona and Steven) significantly better than him, and blamed him for most things that went wrong in the house. He did most of the chores and was just treated much worse in general. Trevor had his first sign of magic when he was seven. Angry at his aunt for sending him to his room —-which was unfurnished and cold in the basement —- Trevor let his emotions bubble over and a lamp fell and shattered. From there, things went downhill, and, when his letter arrived when he was ten, things were at their worst.

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!

I plan on using Dakota Goyo as a model.

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!)

Half-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!)

N/A

6) What year is your character in?

Will be first next term.

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)?
