Like a Satellite, I'm in Orbit all the Way Around You ~Sophie

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

+ intelligent, always productive, focused, driven - possessive, occasionally demanding, a bit robotic (personality wise, not physically XD)

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

'''So far, it has and it hasn't. Eva's still a bit mourning of her parents' death, especially that of her father's, but she knows she must be strong, for her siblings if not for anyone else. But she's been working and being kept busy, so she's satisfied enough with that.'''

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

'''Planning ahead. Eva doesn't know the meaning of unprepared, metaphorically speaking, and she'd like it to stay that way.'''

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

'''Her wand, clothes, money, an ID of some sort, and her pen. The former four are basic necessities, the latter is of some sentimental value.'''

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

'''Quite frankly, Eva doesn't mind it... too much, anyway. The discrimination faced between wizards and half-breeds is sometimes rather condescending, but Eva makes little if any fuss of it. She's indifferent, for a lack of a better term.'''

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (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!)

'''Eva Johanna Saetre was born on January 31st, 2003, in Baerum, Greater Oslo, Oslo. The first of soon to be seven children, Eva's life was somewhat set in stone for her already; she had to be the example, the role model for her siblings. And that meant she'd not get it easy whatsoever.'''

'''Her parents, Frans and Gina Saetre, were a bit hard on Eva, but with good cause. As Eva slowly got more and more siblings, she always looked to be the role model to them all. Her room was always clean, her homework always done... you get the picture. And of course, the others were expected to follow. The short of it... the family was quite intolerant of failure and slacking.'''

'''Eva's first sign of magic came about when she was seven years old. As the family with three children at the time was getting ready to go see the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, which conveniently was happening not overly far from their home, Eva "ruined" her mother's clothes, by splashing her mother's dress with a sudden blast of water. She was about get yelled at... if it wasn't for the fact that Frans and Gina were a Pure-Blood wizard and witch respectively. She was forgiven for it, and they still went to see ESC (they weren't disappointed in the winner either, in fact, Eva personally liked her. she'd never admit it publicly though).'''

'''A few years later, Eva began schooling in Durmstrang. At first, it was an anxious affair for her; it was a whole new environment and her parents weren't around to tell her how she must behave. But she kept her head straight and her expression neutral as she slowly grew into life at Durmstrang. She made few friends in her first year, but oh well, what are you going to do.'''

'''Before she knew it though, she soon enough was joined by her siblings, starting with her first younger sister joining in Eva's third year. Of course, Eva watched out for her siblings, but still made time for herself and her friends. She soon enough gained the title "Miss Perfect" from her friends; it was with just cause. She was an amazing student, and quite frankly, most of her teachers liked her, despite never actually admitting anything of the sort because of favoritism. That title soon enough expanded from her friends to other classmates. She minded it not.'''

'''In her sixth year, she got to know a teacher whom would become her personal favorite (she'll never admit it), that being Professor Geist Blumenthal. Eva grew fond of Geist, and vice versa. She was one of his better students, and Eva quickly found a mentor for life. Or so she'd think. Either way, she had a lot of intellectual conversations about topics such as children, to being a role model, to taking care of oneself. She learnt a handful of things, which really helped Eva cope with the fact that around the middle of her year, her mother passed away, for reasons unknown to her. '''

(Truth is, her mother died in childbirth when giving birth to Eva's eighth sibling; a sister whom she will never know, because her father had her become an orphan to protect her identity.)

'''Either way, Eva continued on with life, not letting her mother's death get to her too hard. She went on to graduate with excellent marks, but her family needed her more so now than ever before. She became the motherly figure in the household, taking care of the younger children and looking after the school-aged ones, making all the more certain that the example Eva set was kept.'''

'''Two years later however, her father died after he wandered down the wrong way on a shady street. Eva was now pressured to try and support the remainder of her family. So she sought out a job. She got one, working as a PA in the Norwegian Ministry. It payed well enough, and she had the more younger of her siblings in a daycare until they become of school age. Soon enough, her siblings that entered school after her, joined her in getting jobs to keep the family going.'''

'''Soon enough though, Eva and her siblings had a talk and decided that they should move out and perhaps consider living somewhere else. Eva hesitated at first, but she agreed to it, nonetheless. The family moved to England, using the money they had saved up from all the siblings that had jobs to get a small house. It was enough to sustain the seven of them, but now the process begins all over. Eva needs to get a job, and that a little fast. She's considering an application to the British Ministry of Magic and as she prepares for the new life ahead, only time will tell how ready she really was...'''

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)

'''Eva's a born leader, and she knows this. She takes no sh*t from anyone, and this she quite admirably picked up from her parents. She's somewhat intolerant of failure; although, one particular talk with her favorite professor got her to reconsider whether failure was bad or good. Eva's sculpted herself into being an approachable, yet determined person, her ambition to succeed greater than anything she will ever have.'''

'''Eva's driven and focused to achieve whatever she puts her mind to. A visionary and a planner, she always desires to be a step ahead than everyone else, no matter what the scenario. If she is given a task and a deadline, she'll do the best in her ability to be ready precisely when she must be. She doesn't like to be bogged down with an unrelated thought, so she'll try and avoid any social activity until her work is finished.'''

'''Admittedly though, Eva's a bit of a workaholic, although she doesn't take it incredibly far. If she finds a need to rest, she will put down her work and rest up. After all, success does mean hard work, but not so hard as to neglect your own wellbeing. Her priorities are quite simple really; herself first, her work second, her family third. Her family used to be second until she had started working, then her work took more importance, since without it, she can't help her family.'''

'''On the not-so-bright side though, Eva has been told she can be a little bit possessive and rather demanding at times. Her siblings and friends have occasionally said that to her, and despite not being physically fazed by it, mentally, she was a little touched. Hence why she tries to work on her people skills, but sometimes, she'd rather bark her problem away, than talk it out in a professional matter (she's still trying to work on it, she swears).'''

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

Pure-Blood, with 6 known siblings, and one unknown (to her) sibling.

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

Nothing special.

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Plans to become the Head of Department of Mysteries.

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Single, no kids, and not looking.

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!

Her model is Keira Knightley.
