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. Brittany strength's are her ways of negotiation. She would rather come to a compromise than insisting her way even if she knows she is correct. Negotiation has helped her to gain friends and a reputation as a problem solver. Brittany is also someone who likes to go with the flow and see the direction life takes her which is her weakness because when push comes to shove and things are going wrong, she usually doesn't know how to get her self out of the pickle or how to fix it and other times she'll rely on others to help her out. Even though she has a reputation as problem solver, she solves problems for other people but cannot solve them for herself.

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? Brittany's one goal is to be successful because she believes success is the best revenge, and Brittany one day intends to get revenge against her birth family, so they can regret ever leaving her. 

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Her ideal day is a day where she can just relax with her closest friends and watch movies while snuggled under a blanket with no distractions or problems but peaceful.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? 
 * Her phone, which she considers very essential
 * Her mirror, to give herself pep talks
 * Her tape recorder, one of her loves as she loves to record herself and people around her
 * Her wand, essential for Hogwarts
 * Her blanket, it reminds her of her new home and when she feels overwhelmed her blanket calms her down 

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? She doesn't really have an opinion on the wizarding society and thinks it is okay being left the way it is.

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

Brittany feels that wherever she is sorted into she will thrive so she is not very insistent on where to be sorted into.

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!)

'''Brittany is a very calm girl and is usually not quick to anger. She prefers not to fight but negotiate and compromise. Brittany never really holds grudges except against her birth parents which have caused deep rooted problems with her self esteem and loving herself. Brittany is very helpful and cordial often going out of her way to help others and even solve their problems despite the fact that she needs help solving her own. She is friendly and somewhat sociable but she likes her private time sometimes too. Though she can be cunning at times, she finds herself in trouble with her going with the flow ways which can help her and hurt her. She finds herself unprepared at times and unable to think up a plan but she is willing to do anything it takes to get successful. She even uses her mirror and her tape recorder to remind her of her goal in the end despite not having a plan but she calls that a work in progress. But even being unprepared will not stop her because she is resolute in being successful and getting revenge. Brittany believes that being successful is revenge and that is high up on her most important thing list.'''

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!)

Brittany was born on October 18, 2009 to the Hagners, a rich family of half-bloods as one part of twins. She was originally named Aurelia and had a younger sister by 3 hours named Aurora. Brittany's family lived in Old Westbury, New York where life had been going on fine for her family with their business was thriving and booming and family healthy until they got scammed out of their business and savings and fell into complete poverty. Brittany's family lost everything and all they had was the clothes on their back. At that time Brittany fell sick and medication and food which the family could not afford. Because of Brittany's sickness, the Hagners thought of her as a burden and Aurora as the better twin giving them no problems at all. At the young age of four, she was abandoned on the streets of Harlem as her family fled for a better life to another state. Brittany thought that her family would come back for her but they never did. She walked the streets for two hours before being noticed by a couple outside a coffee shop.

Victor and Victoria Crosby, muggle born, hesitant at first to help her thought that maybe there would be no harm done seeing as she was a little girl. After taking her home, cleaning her, giving her medicine and food to eat, they looked for her family who was no where to be found. Then they considered putting her in foster care but instead they adopted her because they couldn't think of leaving that girl in foster care to never get adopted. They renamed her Brittany seeing that she could not remember her last name and barley pronounce or spell her first name. Years passed and the Crosby's informed her on the truth of how she was adopted and that she wasn't muggle born but half blood. Her adoptive parent suggested Brittany enroll in Hogwarts and learn the magic side of her. Brittany researched more and more about the school and thought it would be perfect for her to learn her magic side with people just like her.

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 model would be Vanessa Morgan

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!) Brittany is a half blood, and she doesn't think she has any notable 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!) Other than her strengths and weaknesses above, Brittany does not consider herself having any special abilities.

6) What year is your character in? She is a fifth year.

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)?
