Forum:Poppy Llewellyn

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.


 * She's blind and that's a huge strength, because people see her as this disabled human without purpose and literally do anything and everything for her. Plus she uses that card a lot to get out of trouble, which is wicked. Weaknesses? Again, her blindness, because it disables her from doing a lot of things. It's so horrible, yet so amazing.

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 doesn't really have long-standing goals, at least not yet. She isn't sure what she could do.

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


 * Her ideal way of spending a day is... just walking, with Ajax. What else can she do? Aside from getting herself killed for doing literally anything else?

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


 * She'd keep her guide dog Ajax. That's it. She doesn't need anything else, at least nothing essential to her survival, if the basics are excluded from this question.

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


 * She doesn't know enough about the wizarding world to know what to change. Nor can she see it. So really, will she ever know?

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!)

 Nice. Charismatic. Cheeky. Easy-going.


 * These are just some things that define Poppy Llewelyn. She's blind, has been since some months now, but it's not really done much to deter her from being the sweet little girl she was before the accident. She's got a smile on her face, always - it defines her by this point. Normally she'd be bitter, angered by the fact that she can't really see because of an idiot muggle doctor, but Poppy? She makes fun of herself. It's unorthodox, but if she doesn't, she just won't know how to cope. She's funny, she's got a good sense of humor, and she likes to socialize. Doesn't mean she goes the right way about it, though, considering just how often she winds up embarassing herself.


 * Poppy is allocentric. Lord forbid the conversation is focused on her for too long, else she'll become red and stuttery. She doesn't really like focusing on herself, because it's egotistical and makes her feel self-centered. Really, her life isn't all that interesting, anyways. She's a blind orphan. Lame, right? Move on, look forward - since she clearly can't. Hah. It was a bad one, but it's small jokes like that that often slip out of her mouth. She's hardly a serious girl, never one for openly broaching somber topics, much less expressing negative emotions that leaf in that direction.


 * Poppy is companionly. She detests feeling like she's alone, hence why it's relieving that she has Ajax, her guide dog. Despite everything that may or may not happen, Ajax is there, and that's what matters. It's a matter of encouraging her to push on, you know? She's people-oriented - she does everything in groups. She absolutely hates doing anything on her own, because not only is she likely gonna trip and fall about a thousand times before she gets anything done, but she'll probably also sulk while doing it. So. Win-win, right?


 * She's a free-thinker, good-natured above all, and a loyal best friend. She's spontaneous and vivacious, without much regard for consequences, which is probably why she isn't so scared about the prospect of being blind. She's relying on her other senses to get around, and that's quite badass, is it not? Mess up or not, it's not like it can get any worse than blind, right? And in retrospect, her blindness does wonders on cheering up friends and making them see their problems aren't as bad as they could be. So, hey, maybe it's not that bad. Every problem and situation has its silver lining, doesn't 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!)

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!


 * Her FC is Mackenzie Aladjem.

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!)


 * 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!)


 * She's blind, but her other senses are heightened... guess it's not really exotic, but yeah.

6) What year is your character in?


 * She's a first year.

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)?


 * 7/2
