The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

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

'''Harris is caring and kind, and always knows what to do to make people feel better. But sometimes his temper gets the best of him and he accidentally says some things he doesn't really mean. But generally Harris is a rather calm and intelligent person. '''

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

'''Some of the goals Harris set out in life have been achieved. He has the kind of house he's always wanted, and as much money as he needs, and that was always a big factor in his life planning. But he had always wanted to be with someone, and to be married and actually have kids. He has adopted kids, which is the next best thing, but he still longs for someone to be with, and he believes he's running out of time for that. '''

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

'''Harris's ideal day would be with both his adopted children, and do whatever they wanted to do. He's always felt close to them, but with all the trauma they went through, he's always been a bit distant and never felt like a real adoptive father. He just wants to have one day where they can feel like a family. '''

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

'''1. His wand. It's extremely special because he got it with his father at Diagon Alley before his first year at Hogwarts.  2. The locket Sophia, his adoptive daughter, gave him the first Christmas they had together, that contains a picture of Marcus (his adoptive son) and Sophia and him, all in a hug. Below it reads, We love you Dad.''' '3. The letters his mother sent him when she had divorced his father and refused to see him ever again.  4. His beat-up teddy bear that his best friend gave him for making it through his first year at Hogwarts. He know it's silly, but it really does make him feel good inside when he looks at it, no matter how old it may be. '

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

'''He thinks people shouldn't think of their life as if it's all centered around money. He wished that money wasn't such a big factor in life. '''

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (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!)

'''Harris Malwright was born to Emma and Mark Malwright. He was the first born of two sons they would have while they were still happy together. His baby brother Jacob Malwright was born three years after Harris was. Harris had always been so fascinated by magic, and tried to learn as much as he could, even at a young age. He just wanted to understand it.'''

'''The Malwight family name had never been exceedingly famous for anything special besides maybe food--both his parents worked at restaurants since they were great cooks. But still, few actuallythought the Malwrights were famous, they just enjoyed their food. Harris didn't mind, though. It was never his wish to be famous anyway. '''

'''His first sign of magic happened when he was 8. His mom had brought Harris to her kitchen so he could see what it took to be a great chef, since she wanted him to become one. At one point in the day, his mother was walking swiftly through the kitchen and accidentally dropped a full plate of food. Harris let out a scream, his arms attempting to catch it, even though he was ten feet away from it. The plate levitated up from the ground before it fell all the way and shattered. He saved the food, and his mom was so very proud. '''

'''The years that his parents were still together were the best years of his life--by far. Everything was perfect, and just how Harris wanted it to be. But of course, according to the crazy rules of life, nothing perfect can ever stay that way for long. When he reached the mere age of 10, his parents got in a huge fight. It escalated so high they got in a fight that involved firing wands at each other. At the edn of it, Harris's mother swore to never see his dad ever again. She moved somewhere else and became a big-time cook. She wrote all the time to Harris, but after his first year at Hogwarts they lost touch and never saw each other again.'''

'''Hogwarts was easy for Harris. The classes weren't hard because he had read SO many books before arriving he already knew a lot, and spells always came easy to Harris. Making friends wasn't too bad either. Harris was never known as popular, but he was a nice kid no one really had grudges against for any reason. '''

'''After graduation, Harris wasn't so sure what to do with his life. His dad had died while he ahd been at school of some disease Harris was unaware of, and he had no idea where his mother was. So, Harris did the only thing he had been taught to do...cook. So he got a job cooking, and did that for a while. He earned a lot of money, but never made it to the point where he was famous. He decided to try to settle down, and realized it was getting quite lonely at his house. He had never really had a crush on any of the girls at school, and he doubted he could get out there now. So he adopted two kids--Sophia and Marcus Carrow. They really were two great kids, and he tried to care for them as much as he could. He's now both thinking about getting in a relationship with someone, and also is thinking about getting employment once again. '''

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)

'''Harris is a kind and caring person, and tries to do whatever is best to make others feel better. He is humble and has never wanted to be super well known. He likes to be social, but isn't too fond of talking in front of many people. He's never been ambitious, but he's always had very clear goals. Harris doesn't have the most competetive spirit, but is a big supporter and tries to make people confident in competetive  situations. '''

'''Having a little brother has made him very overprotective of people. Also, he doesn't like trying new things if he has already failed at them before once. Having constantly arguing parents before they broke up, he's also a smart problem-solver who is good at calming fights. Harris tries not to be a pushover, but he does like to appease people, and sometimes that leads to him not being assertive enough. '''

3) Are you 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

4) 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 one as your first two characters!) No

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

'''Harris is currently not working, but wants to become a chef. '''

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

'''He is not currently married or dating, but has two adopted kids (Sophia and Marcus Carrow). '''

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim! His FC is Benedict Cumberbatch.
