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: wisdom, bravery, full of mischief.   Weaknesses: kindhearted, troublesome, sort of clumsy, failure.

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?  = She mostly hangs out in the library, or you can find her hanging out with her friends in the Common Room or by the Black Lake.

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?  = She would change the fact that house elfs are treated badly by their masters. She would change this about the wizarding society because she is sick of the fact that people are doing nothing to help the house elfs from being treated badly.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?  = Melinda always wanted to be in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor because her mother and father inspired her to be the smartest/bravest witch she can be. Melinda does not want to be in Slytherin because she does not want to end up hanging out with the wrong sort, and that is because she does want people to think she is a bad person because of the people she hangs out with.

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!)  = Melinda is sneaky, humble, clever, brave, kindhearted; always there for her friends; her favorite classes are potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA); you can sometimes find her in the library studying, and in her spare time when she is not studying you can find her in the Astronomy Tower or chilling at the Black Lake with her friends. She gets her wisdom and bravery from her mom and gets her cunning/troublesome traits from her dad.

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!) = Melinda grew up in North Kensington, London. She lived in a Single-Family Home, in a great neighborhood known as Chickasaw Dr, with five rooms, one room for Melinda, one for her mom and dad, two guest rooms, one room for her dad's man cave, three and a half bathrooms, and they lived right next to the lake. Even though she lived in a nice house and great neighborhood, it was the most common neighborhood with robberies, so, Melinda spent most of her time inside of her house reading and video chatting on her laptop with her friends.

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!  = Melinda Calisto has slivery/brown/blue eyes, well they are silver with some blue and a little bit of brown, but when she gets older you will maybe not see any brown in her eyes. She has dark brown hair. Melinda has her mothers eyes and cool fashion sence. Her facial features and hair color come from her father.

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!)  = Melinda is a Half-Blood Witch because her mother is a Pure-Blood and her father is a Muggle-Born.

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!)  = Melinda Calisto is Half-Veela, and she has a photographic memory.

6) What year is your character in? = Melinda Calisto is in her 1st year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

OOC Questions

 * (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)?
