The Character's Background

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

Juliet honestly believes she's been put on this earth to care for things. Whether it be people, dragons or the flowers in her backyard, the need to nurture and protect is something that is just as much a part of her DNA as her skin and hair colour; she would honestly be lost without someone to care for. That's probably what makes her such a good friend - being such a mother hen means Juliet is on constant alert for any of her friends being down or upset, and she makes it her personal goal to uplift them, whether that be through hugs or cake or whatever. It also shows in the way she looks after her dragons. Being from a family of magizoologists, Juliet has been brought up training and raising dragons: it's basically the family trade. This has given her the ability to bond with any animal, be it a bird or a dog or a Norwegian Ridgeback.

She's a bundle of energy, with no real regard for consequences or repercussions: the only time she'll consider her actions is when she's in real danger, for example when creatures are breathing fire at her. This is probably why she's the worst person to trust with secrets or gossip - trust me, if you tell her anything, it'll spread around the school like the common cold. She doesn't mean any harm by it; she's just one of those people who thinks that everyone should be involved in everything. For better or worse.

She's extremely touchy and will hug or kiss people that she's only just met. Personal space is a foreign concept to her - don't be surprised if she says that she loves you or wants to have your children five minutes after you've only just started speaking. That's another thing to watch out for: much like the character she's named after, Juliet is a hopeless romantic, constantly looking for love in all the places, wrong or right. The idea of love is so appealing to her that she falls for someone every five minutes, only to get her heart broken the next day. She'd probably drink poison for someone she just met, too. How very Shakespearean.

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.

Have you ever been to Chicago? Juliet has. In fact, she was born there, and it's great: skyscrapers, decent weather and a hell of a lot of dragons. You see, it all begins with the fairytale romance of Annabel and Michael, a young Muggle woman and her wizard boyfriend, whose secret she never found out about until five years after they had married and Michael decided to let slip that hey, not only could he cast spells and put curses on people, but there was also a family business he was knee-deep in and that he also really wanted to introduce to her. It wasn't beer-brewing or rodeoing - you know, something normal - but rather the rather illustrious profession of dragon taming. It turns out, there's a hub in a magical section of Chicago that houses dragons the way Muggles keep horses. And that, friends, is where things begin to get juicy.

Being a massive fan of Shakespeare, Annabel decided that when she fell pregnant with her first child, a boy, he would be christened Romeo. After the child in question was born, Annie quickly fell pregnant again with a girl - Juliet, appropriately - and then the youngest, Ophelia, came along a year later. Having three children would prove to be a full-time profession, so instead of packing in the dragon taming altogether and becoming a full-time father, Michael decided it best to move the whole family up to the dragon's keep and basically live alongside the creatures to introduce the children to them properly. As crazy as it sounds, this would prove to be a great decision, as all the kids - Juliet particularly - would grow extremely close to the animals, and the family tradition would carry on for another generation.

It was around the age of six or seven when Juliet began experiencing magic properly, for the first time. After somehow managing to set her brother's duvet on fire without actually touching anything, it became clear that she too had inherited her father's magical blood, and instantly she was taught the ways of not just the wizarding world, but all the tricks of magizoology. By the time the letter for Ilvermoney came to their door, Juliet could tell you anything and everything about keeping dragons, and it was knowledge she was ready to develop.

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!

Model is Lianne La Havas. Juliet's main goal in life is to exude colour. Everything about her screams warmth and brightness, from the warm brown of her eyes to the rainbow of her clothes, always favouring neon, block colours to wear over anything dull. She's only a short little thing, standing at 5'4" with an athletic frame, and is often in some retro outfit like dungarees or flares with her hair tied up to control the curls.

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!)

Halfblood

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!)

nope

6) What year is your character in?

Sixthie

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"?

7 / 0

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?


 * Hates office jobs, wants to work with dragons.

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


 * The ability to care and help people

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?


 * She is a massive gossip, and falls in love too easily.

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


 * Vine wood, Dragon Heartstring core. It's very loyal to Juliet, which she likes.
