Forum:Russet Danvers

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!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

'''Russet is very driven, and always tries to carry out what she has in mind with complete success. She doesn't mind failing in her plans every now and then, because that's the only way to learn, and has the easy ability to get up whenever she's pushed down, so that's that. She's quite the sweet kid, and always thrives to be the best she can be, aiming to meet everyone's expectations. She's a hard worker, with certain values and morals that she won't ever abandon.'''

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 just wants to be as good of a writer as her mother once was, and make her mother proud. She wants to carry on her legacy.'''

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

'''Russet's ideal way of spending a free day is cooped up in her room back home, in Canada, reading the millions of books she had, and writing her own versions of them. Since she's no longer in Canada, she'd settle with a whole day of relaxation to herself, reading and writing away.'''

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

 
 * Her yo-yo; it's the last thing her father ever gave her, and brings back good memories between her and him.
 * Her locket with the last family picture ever taken, for reasons that should be obvious.
 * Her diary; it's the perfect way for her to vent and let out everything she's feeling in a healthy way, without making others aware.
 * Her mother's jacket; when her and her siblings divided the few safe things remaining to divide amongst themselves for the safekeeping of old memories, she inherited her mother's favorite jacket. It smells like her to this day, and she keeps it tucked away for whenever she's feeling particularly down.
 * One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish; it's the book her parents read to her every night as a little kid.

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

'''She'd probably want to better wizarding relations with muggles. Not enough to allow them into their society, maybe, but to a certain extent in which they could coexist peacefully with knowledge of each other.'''

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

She hears Ravenclaw is the house full of students with the craving of knowledge she has, and the same knack for writing and reading she possesses, so out of the four houses, that would definitely be her choice.

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!)

'''Russet, as stated above, is a hard worker. She doesn't like leaving things for the last minute, especially if she can get it over with easily and get on with her reading and writing. She's not a procrastinator, and has no problem in meeting deadlines for homework and assignments. She's very driven and determined in carrying out what ever she sets her mind to with perfection, or at least as close to as she can. She's alright with not being the best, though, and failing every now and then-- making mistakes is the way you learn. That's what her mother used to tell her, and what she'll live by until the day she dies. She tries not making them too much, too often, though, simply because she believes that in order to be at the top, you must be one of the best of the best of them all, if not the best. Out of all the Danvers siblings, Russet is the one that inherited the most from her mother personality-wise. She's as creative as Keira Danvers once was, and has the potential to become one of the best writers of her time, like her mother was in her own time. She's very imaginative and has a good way of getting around with words, actually sounding wiser than she really is when times are calling for it. It aligns perfectly with her thirst for knowledge, though. It's something unbelievable, the way she likes to coop herself up in a room and drink up the words in her thousand-word books. It's understandable, though-- it's another quality she inherited from her mother. They're actually quite alike, especially in terms of brilliance, it's scary at times. Very organized, Russet cannot stand a mess. It makes her feel all gross, and it drives her crazy. She really can't stand having her own mess, and hates it when other people are messy. She's always picking up after others, leaving every place neat and organized before it's messed up again. It's a never ending cycle of frustration and cleaning. It's pretty tiring, almost never rewarding, but for her sanity, she keeps on doing it.'''

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!)

 This is a particularly interesting story. Best selling Canadian author Keira Brown was on tour, promoting her latest book. On of the final stops was back home, in Toronto. One of her biggest fans - Adam Danvers - (who was also beginning his career in movie directing) attended, and not only did he get her book and signature, but also her wholehearted attention. Much to the young wizard's delight, she showed her interest in him, and they wound up exchanging numbers, even at the prohibition from Keira's manager. After a lot of texting and flirting, the pair agreed to meet up for coffee. From there on out, they were able to bond over many things, like for instance their similar love of music, reading, and even the fact that they had both attended Ilvermorny's. Their relationship strengthened and they became closer than ever when Adam made a movie out of one of Keira's best known novels. It wasn't a surprise when, in that very cute, very homey coffee shop, three and a half years later, they exchanged their I'do's. It wasn't even a year later that their oldest child - Phoenix Danvers - came into the picture, followed by two more kids a few years afterwards before the protagonist of this history was born. Russet Chryssanthe Danvers was born on a May 3rd, as the fourth out of five kids. There isn't much to say about her early childhood, really. Her mother continued to work as an author, although it was mainly from her home, while her father continued his work as a movie director. The family had a strong bond, and the siblings were as close as they could be. Love didn't lack in that household. It never did. The fact that to this day, the siblings are as close as they were as babes is a strong testament to that. They were the it family of Canada, the perfect role model for families out there. For once, there was a family that was truly good, and didn't have their share of dark secrets. From a young age, it was obvious Russet would inherit her mom's smarts and her father's charisma. She was a sweet babe, and it was difficult not to love her. Daughter of a writer and a movie director, it wasn't very surprising, either. She was at the top in primary school all the time, and while she wasn't one of the more "popular" kids (or as popular a bunch of eight and nine year olds can be), she had her share of friends. They were a close knit group, just like in home, so growing up, Russet's life wasn't really that hard. Until, of course, at the mere age of ten and a half, shit hit the fan. Her and her family were on vacation, over in the village by Ilvermorny's, to visit the set of siblings still in school. There, they contracted Scrofungulus. The symptoms didn't appear until a few days after their vacation was over. With their mother's family living nearby, it wasn't difficult for Russet and the youngest - Cerulean - to be relocated to their grandparents' house. The strain progressed quickly, and it drained the parents of life quicker than was normal, to the point they couldn't apparate or even take the floo network to the hospital. They might have been able to be saved, but alas, they weren't. That fateful day, Adam and Keria Danvers passed away, leaving Russet, Cerulean, Phoenix, WIP, and WIP Danvers orphaned. Russet grieved and mourned their deaths, definitely, to the point she had an explosive magical sign that wound up igniting their toaster on fire. She got over it eventually, though, to the extent in which she was able to pass a day without crying. Life went on like that, until her and her siblings faced an abrupt change. They were moving to England, with Phoenix and his wife. It was because of her job, apparently, that made her move to Britain. Naturally, Phoenix wouldn't let her go alone, and since he was their legal guardian now... there was no other option. Trust me when I say Russet would have stayed if there was. During the summer, the move was finalized, and the family moved into a home big enough to hold all of them, plus any possible additions the family would have, since at this rate, it seemed inevitable. That fall, Russet began schooling at Hogwarts, and was sorted into WIP.
