Forum:Cassandra Holloway

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!)

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

'''Cassandra is a headstrong, confident and passionate young girl. She's also brave and will not back down on a fight. Her greatness weakness, though, is her dark past. Her family was murdered by a werewolf, and she wants revenge. The only problem she's been asking herself though, is that how could she possibly hate werewolves when she, herself, is one of them too.'''

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 wants to learn how to make the Wolfsbane Potion so she could stop depending on her adoptive father (her uncle) to make them for her. Also, she dreams of becoming a great duellist and a swordfighter. Lastly, even though she won't admit it (because she wants to make herself believe that she hates werewolves), she's seeking a Pack.'''

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

'''Learning about the Wolfsbane potion and to polish her swordfighting. She would also try to practice her duelling skills.'''

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

Sword - her father's sword that she kept. Locket - she wears this on her neck everyday; it has a picture of her and her parents. Wand - she wants to be a successful duelist. Wolfsbane Potion - she needs this to be able to retain control during her monthly transformations; she doesn't want to be like the monster who killed her parents. Sweater - she has this beige-colored sweater that her mother made for her, and she wears it almost everyday (except on laundry days).

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

'''Maybe the lack of research about lycantrophy. She wants a cure or a potion that would give werewolves full control, so as to avoid anymore mishaps in the future (like what happened with her family).'''

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

'''She wants to be in Gryffindor simply because she thinks she belongs there. Also, her parents and her uncle are from Gryffindor as well.'''

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!)

Cassandra is a very brave young girl. She's very outspoken and not afraid to speak her mind, and is also loyal and headstrong. She's also pretty confident in herself, and she gets quite cocky sometimes, too. Cassandra is also dedicated and passionate, especially with the things she wants to learn/get better with like duelling and swordfighting, as well as making the Wolfsbane Potion. She doesn't back down easily and if she gets into a fight, she'll try her best to win it.

Cassandra doesn't tolerate bullies and won't hesitate to defend herself or any of her friends from one. With that being said, she's quite easily annoyed and a bit impatient and short-tempered. She's fiercely independent and would do things on her own without really expecting help from others, although she'd gladly take it if someone offered.

Lastly, due to recent events, Cassandra's innocence has been sort of shattered. Her determination and passion is fuelled by hate and desire for revenge. She doesn't want everyone to see this though, and she often hides underneath a facade, so that people won't really see her hateful and cold side. Ironically though, she's in search for a Pack, even though she wouldn't admit it to herself because she wants to make herself believe that she hates werewolves, even though she's one of them, too.

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!)

Edward Holloway and his wife, Catherine, met will they were studying at Hogwarts. Edward was from a pureblood family while Catherine was muggle-born. They were both in Gryffindor and were in a relationship all throughout their years at school. This relationship ended up being "one for the books" and they eventually married a couple of years after graduation. Edward became an auror and a skilled swordfighter while Catherine became a homemaker. They had a child three years into their marriage and they decided to name her Cassandra, after Catherine's late mother, Cassandra Bassett.

Cassandra was very much loved by her parents, and had a normal childhood. She was a bit tomboyish, but she was adventurous and loved playing outside. Her father also taught her the basics of swordfighting and she became obsessed with it ever since. During nights when her parents would go out for dinner, her constant babysitter would be her uncle, Caleb, Edward's brother. He became one of Cassandra's best friends because of the time they spent together, and also a mentor to her when it came to potion-making, being a successful potioneer himself.

When Cassandra was 9, she displayed her first signs of magic when she made the lights turn on and off after being upset with a swordfighting trick she couldn't master. After that, she started waiting for her acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

It eventually arrived, but Cassandra would only remember that day as the darkest day of her life. It was the night of the full moon, a couple of months before Cassandra would go to Hogwarts for her first year, and they were going out to celebrate her acceptance. It was just her, her mother and father, and Caleb, and they were driving down by the Welsh countryside on the way to Cardiff. It was during that drive that their car was attacked by a feral werewolf. Edward and Catherine died when the car crashed and toppled down the side of the hill. Cassandra and Caleb were badly injured, and the werewolf still went for them. Cassandra was bit on her side and she cried out on agony, prompting Caleb to retaliate and kill the werewolf with a spitfire of offensive spells.

Cassandra turned into a werewolf, but because Caleb was skilled with making potions, he was able to provide Wolfsbane potions for her. He also officially adopted her and moved in to their house. Cassandra became depressed for weeks, but eventually picked herself up after seeing herself in the mirror and seeing how pitiful she looked like. She became very hateful towards werewolves, but she hid this under a facade. She's still the same girl she is, pretty much, but there's this darkness and shattered innocence insider her, too.

On September the 1st, she went to Hogwarts to start her first year of magical education.
