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. '''Strengths: Kindness, Intelligence, Modesty, Carefulness, and Creative.

Weaknesses: Social Skills, Innocence, Quietness.'''

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 just wants to see where life takes her, doesn't matter where or how it happens, just where life goes.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Her ideal way is just relaxing back in her room, watching Netflix or Hulu and writing stories.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? '''1) Her wand, well when she gets it

2) a writing journal and pencils

3) Family photo

4) Earbuds and MP3 player

5) Survival Kit.'''

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Entering the wizarding world, it's rare that Indiana would find something to change so early. Ask her that question later.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? She doesn't know the houses, and trusts the Hat to place her in the best fit for her.

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!) '''Indiana and crowds are not a good mix. She hates them with a burning passion, and will do anything to get out of crowded areas. Luckily she doesn't black out, but she does suffer from a sensory overload on occasion. Indiana doesn't like big conversations, addressed by groups, or anything else like that. She needs her quiet time, and if she doesn't get that, she will easily go ballistic.

Indiana is a girl with a habit of intensely focusing on whatever catches her interest, especially in school. She's intelligent but doesn't make it a point to show off. She's big-time modest, and when all the eyes are on her, she gets a bit nervous. If she can, she will avoid speaking up in class, but that all changes when she's giving a presentation. Indiana loves being up in front of the class, it's an area that she thrives in. So, yes, she might be a bit of a paradox, but Indiana will always try and bring her best in every area she's involved in.

She has spent her entire life on various military bases, seeing that her father is a member of the U.S. Air Force. Indiana is a girl who values respect and responsibility and always tries to show the best side of herself when she's out and about. Her emotions are tightly controlled around her father's work friends, but she is known to let out a laugh or a faint smile. She rarely speaks, unless directly addressed, but is always trying to show the best behavior that she can manifest.

She is known as a girl who is silent, as a girl who rarely seems to laugh and speak, and as a girl who is always willing to lend a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Indiana is very much anti-social, but around the right people, she will not shut up in anyway. She is a girl who hates having attention on her, but when there are people that she trusts with her life around, then she gets loud and smiling. Indiana loves being a paradox, and there is no one around that really can say that they fully understand her. You can learn everything about Indiana in a few months, but she'll still surprise you.'''

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!) '''Carolyn Gold was attending college in New York City when she saw a handsome dark-haired man in one of her classes. Over the next few weeks, Carolyn basically stalked him until one evening in November. She was sitting in the dorm common room before an idea crossed her mind as she laid her gaze on the student manning the help desk. She had seen him before with her crush and approached the student. They started talking and within ten minutes, he had called up for Nicholas Hanson, an Air Force ROTC student. Nicholas came down, and they started talking. Two days later, they were having their first study date and soon, they went public.

Six years later, they married and four years after their marriage, Carolyn revealed that she was pregnant. However, the first two pregnancies ended in upsetting miscarriages, and their third pregnancy finally, was successful. On June 27, 2024, Indiana Laurel Hanson entered the world in a small hospital in the small town of Del Rio, Texas. Indiana grew up with a stay-at-home mom, something that most families on base shared. She spent a fair amount of time with other kids her own age, boys and girls alike, but when it got too hot or she got too overwhelmed, Indiana retreated inside her house.

When she was six, her father was transferred to a base in Scotland, close to her grandparents, and they also received a nice surprise. Indiana's magic manifested that day; she was under stress to clean up the boxes in her room. All the boxes suddenly vanished, appearing in the recycling bin a few second later. No one in her family really understood what had happened, only that it led to a small warning from her father to control her temper. The next few years brought more change, with of course, more magic manifestations, and on her eleventh birthday, Indiana woke up to find a letter on the table for her.

That letter was the one that changed her life. She was now a first-year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is nervous for what awaits her at the new school.'''

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 face claim is Laneya Grace.

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. No notable magical relations.

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!) None.

6) What year is your character in? First.

OOC Questions

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)? 10/3.
