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.


 * + brilliant & cunning - judgmental & argumentative

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?


 * Short-term, her only goal is to infiltrate House Windsor and become even more adored than Richard; she wants to be able to hold that over him. If it were up to her, she'd do the same with her other friends. She likes to make it her mission to worm her way into their parents' heart - it makes it harder for them to believe their kid whenever they blame something on her. (Something she probably did, but those are just minute details.) Long-term, her goal is to become the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

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


 * Margot's ideal way of spending a free day, if not holed up at the Daily Prophet's HQ sucking up to the bosses, would be with the miscreants she calls best friends. Dick, Nile, Thor and Ronald McDonald. She doesn't care about what they're doing; she's sure they'll end up at the holding cell in the Ministry, anyways. Who cares? They'll laugh about it in a couple years.

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


 * 1) Water. For her hair.
 * 2) Her brother's case files. If she lost them, he'd lose his shit. He doesn't even know she has them to begin with. Plus it's kind of fun having a go at cracking them, you know?
 * 3) Her birth certificate and other official forms. The last thing she wants or needs is one of the miscreants discovering her full name. Plus, looking at it in a practical way, it could get her out of legal situations.
 * 4) Linlithgow Palace's kitchen, with the food included. That thing is massive, and the food? To die for. She raids it every time she's over for a visit. If she could have all that in her bag, she'd likely be the happiest bitch in the world.
 * 5) Her wand. It's the one thing that would help her get out of sticky situations.

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


 * Down with the monarchy! No, joking, she adores that family, as much as she may hate admitting it. What would she change? Truth be told, she isn't all that sure.

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


 * Gryffindor, without a doubt.

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!)


 * When you first meet Margot, she'll probably come across as cold and callous. It's very difficult for her to find the interest in interacting with someone, especially if they're around her age and they're absolute strangers. She'd rather have her miscreants and a couple cold case files in her possession as entertainment. Or her phone, through which she can stalk all her favorites. Overall, Margot really, really, really just hates being social in any way, shape or form, unless she knows you. Even if you begin to crack that cold exterior, it takes a while for her to begin to warm up to you. Especially given how judgmental she is.

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!



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?


 * 6th

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)?


 * 11/2?
