The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Seungyeon has a quiet cleverness about her that you can feel but can't quite place. When you catch her hiding a smile behind her hand, you can't help but wonder what she's smiling about. But you have no idea that smile she's wearing is an amused one because she managed to swipe the keys to your new Porsche convertible from your back pocket and is going to be having an amazing time cruising down the streets of Paris. A trickster at heart, although quiet, Seungyeon is very witty. She's quick on her feet and knows how to pull a good prank or two. Always having some sort of scheme, never assume Seungyeon is here for an innocent conversation, as she's never been much of a talker. She always has some sort of hidden motive whenever she's doing something, and loyalty is a foreign concept to her.

Alongside her trickster nature, she harbors an array of skills which she's taught herself. It pays to be able to do things that people don't expect you to know. She's always looking for a shortcut and would rather take the alleyway than the way paved road if it gets her there quicker. Never expect her to be there when you need her to be because the only side she's on is her side. She learned how to hack just to abuse the sudden and comedic dependence on technology. She learned how to pickpocket to sell people back their stuff just when they've given up hope for a good few thousand bucks. She learned how to lie, blackmail, and negotiate so she could always get her way. And she keeps learning new things to keep it that way.

Although you could characterize Seungyeon as lazy, she isn't at all. When she wants something, she makes sure she gets it, even through a cheap shortcut. She's persistent and if she knows she can have something, she'll do whatever she can to have it. She knows very well that things aren't just going to fall into the palm of her hand if she doesn't try to catch them. Despite her less than ethical ways of getting what she wants, she understands good work ethic and definitely has it. She's not one to ally, but if you impress her enough, you might just a kick out of her.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Seungyeon never knew her parents. The earliest memory she has was of her grandmother crying on the porch. Seungyeon was three. Even when her grandmother died twelve years later and she was sent back to her parents, she never knew much about them. She'd never seen any pictures, her grandmother had never talked about them. All she knew was her, her halmoni, and the ghost of two people in her life who she had learned not to care much about. If they wanted nothing to do with her, she wanted nothing to with them.

Her parents were nice when she met them, and it made the fifteen-year-old skeptical. For the last couple of years, she had been attending Ilvermorny in America before her grandmother died. Having to move all the way to Britain seemed a little ridiculous, and she didn't understand why people who were so nice seemed so unwilling to come meet her, and her move somewhere else. For as long as she knew, she had been raised by her grandmother and her grandmother had taught her everything she knew. She told her to be careful of strangers and not cause a fuss. Her grandmother used to call her "The Quiet Mouse" and that's what Seungyeon intended to be in the lives of her parents.

Seungyeon had a younger brother, Seungjun, who was quiet like Seungyeon but not as clever. He was only eleven, and in the fall, he'd be joining Seungyeon at Hogwarts. During the move, her parents had taken much care in hyping up this new school she'd be going to. Seungyeon kept quiet the whole talk and just nodded. It made it easier to swipe the twenty pounds in her father's wallet if she pretended she was listening.

When Seungyeon had gotten her letter to Ilvermorny, she and her grandmother had celebrated by making rice cakes. But when Seungjun had gotten his, their parents threw a whole party and invited the neighbors and all sorts of relatives Seungyeon had never even knew existed. She felt upset for the first time in years. She felt forgotten. And there she decided blood meant nothing to her. Sure she'd live in their house and eat their food, but she'd never be apart of their family. These people were strangers to Seungyeon, and as long as she could get something from them, she didn't plan to stick around much longer after graduating.

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!

She is modeled by Kim Yerim (Yeri of Red Velvet)

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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)

Half-Blood

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

6th

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

Slytherin

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

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"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs.

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
