Forum:Katherine Shane - Redo

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.

 Kat's strengths are her loyalty, compassion and caring attitude towards her friends. However she's also stubborn, very grounded and slightly over-bearing and over-protective. 

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?

 Kat wants to be a Healer when she grows up 

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

'''Her ideal day is spent at the orphanage with her friends, just relaxing and not doing anything dangerous or risky. (She kinda likes the adventure, she just constantly worries about her friends).'''

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

 
 * 1) Her Wand (When she gets it): She can better help and heal her friends with her wand
 * 2) Her Ring: Kedric had a bunch of Shane family rings made up, and gave one to each member of the family. Kat's ring has the Shane family crest (Kedric made one for the family) engraved on an Amber rock
 * 3) Her Locket: It's got a photo of her family on one side and a photo of her and her closest friends on the other. The locket itself is gold plated and shaped like a heart. A gift from her step-mom (her mom)
 * 4) A Book: Any book. Kat really likes reading books to the really little kids at the orphanage
 * 5) Her Camera: A gift from her dad, she takes the miniature magical camera with her pretty much everywhere

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

 She'd have all the dark wizards that hurt people locked up in prison 

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

 Kat honestly doesn't care. Her father was a Slytherin, and he's a good man (now anyways), her step-mom was a Gryffindor so ideally she'd like one of the two, but she'd be okay with any of them.

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!)

 Katherine, ironically enough is extremely caring and compassionate. She's only 11 years old and is already getting called 'mom' by her close friends. Mostly in a joking manner. She's fiercely protective of those close to her, and will do anything to help them. She's the best big sister her little sisters and the younger orphanage kids could hope for. She cares about all of them a great deal and will go to great lengths to help them.

That said, Kat is also very cautious and not very adventurous. Mostly because adventure means people can get hurt, she'd much rather just follow the rules and stick close to home. She can better insure the safety of those she cares about. However, if her friends absolutely insist on going off on some foolhardy adventure, Kat insists on going with them. She has tasked herself with making sure her friends get home safely in those instances. It's a job she takes very seriously.

Kat, while she'd much rather just avoid injuries if at all possible is not squeamish if and when someone does get hurt. In fact, Kat's dream job at the moment is a healer. She loves to help her friends and family, so naturally healing them comes along with that. She can't use magic yet, but she's taught herself some basic muggle first aid so she can deal with the everyday injuries like cuts, scrapes, bloody noses... etc. Soon as Kat is allowed to practice magic, she intends to try teaching herself some basic healing magic. She can better care for her friends that way. 

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!)

 Katherine Elizabeth Shane was born to two of the worst parents she could have asked for as a little girl. Kedric Shane and Amelia Matthews, the two had a one-night stand and never even exchanged last names. Nine months later, Amelia have birth to twin babies, one boy and one girl. She kept the boy, but gave the girl to Kedric by dropping her off at his doorstep. Kedric had no idea as to who the mother was, he hooked up with several women around that time, and the note that was left with Katherine didn't help him figure it out.

Unfortunately for Katherine, Kedric's nefarious actions eventually caught up with him and he was convicted of threatening Charity Prince's life and attempted assault with a deadly weapon and thrown into Azkaban for two year, with the promise he could get an early release if he behaved. Well now Kedric had a reason to behave, so that's exactly what he did. One year later, Kedric was released into the real world. However, during that time Katherine had been staying at Lil Bundles, and the owner Rose Gilcrease wouldn't give Kedric his daughter until he proved himself. So, she offered him a job at Lil Bundles.

And Kedric more than proved himself, he was an excellent father to Katherine and was an excellent employee. He worked his ass off every single day, and eventually he caught the eye of a squib named Emily Hayden. She was the first mother figure that Kat had, and things were looking pretty good. Then Kedric screwed up, and screwed someone else too. He hooked up with Kimi November and knocked her up. That ended things between Kedric and Emily and left Katherine with Kimi as her mother figure, and she was not as good. Nine months later, Kimi had a daughter named Jasmine November-Shane. She stayed with Kimi and Kedric had Kat. Kedric and Kimi never really started dating before Kimi fled the coop, dumping Kedric with Jasmine. Now Kat had a sister.

For about a year things continued with Kedric parenting both girls by himself, then his world turned upside down when an old friend/love interest turned up. Mississippi Ashford, it didn't take long for the old chemistry to flare up and the two hooked up. However, this time they started dating. Eventually, one thing led to another and Mississippi wound up pregnant. Then three months before Katherine's fifth birthday, Mississippi had identical twins named Elina and Laila.

Now Katherine had a proper family, and that turned out to be a good thing for her. She was a pretty fantastic big sister, in fact her first magical sign came when Elina fell down when learning to walk and got a cut on her head. Katherine was the only one around at the time and was worried for her baby sister, so she just made the cut go away. Kedric and Mississippi could not have been more proud of Kat. That mere fact made Kat want to help her little sisters in any way she could.

For the next five years that's how things worked in the house. Kat was the best big sister Jasmine, Elina and Laila could hope for. She loved and adored them and was always willing to help them in any way she could, whether that was advice, homework help, sticking up for them against nasty kids at the orphanage. Whatever. Katherine was there for them, but she also knew when to back off. Usually. Unless she was really worried, then there's no force on earth to stop her. And this kind of behavior wasn't just limited to her sisters, but all the kids who may be younger than her at the orphanage. She took them all under her wing and became their big sister.

Katherine is now 11 years old and is preparing for her first year at Hogwarts.
