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.

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?

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

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

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

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

Billie thinks that she most identifies with Slytherin due to her charming and manipulative nature. She feels her cunningness is both hers and Slytherin's most prominent trait.

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!)

Billie is quite the charmer. She knows how to get what she wants when she wants it no matter the consequences. She can be quite manipulative and has mastered the art of using people's weaknesses to her advantage. She quite enjoys the flighty lifestyle. Billie likes being in control and has only ever found herself in a submissive state with her father. Her craving for control is probably due to her father's neglect throughout her childhood. The pain inside of her is strategically covered up by her preposessing and frankly trecherous nature. Billie lacks sympathy and finds it hard to regret her actions or feel bad about anything. She puts herself above others and doesn't really care about the casulaties as long as she gets what she wants. There are a million reasons why you should avoid Billie, yet once her charm is turned on a million more to stick around. You can try to get to know Billie if you'd like, but be warned-- she may have a heart, but it's buried deep within.

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!)

"Where to start-- I suppose my name would be a good place. I'm Billie Jean Gardner. Most people call me Billie, but you can call me Bee if you want. Mom named me after the Michael Jackson song, "Billie Jean". Cheesy, I know. Mom liked that kind of stuff-- that's what Daddy tells me, at least. Mom passed away when I was really little. Daddy says she got a really bad kind of cancer that they just couldn't cure. I think he really misses her. Even though I was young, I can tell he used to be happier when she was around. He was less distant. He never really likes to spend too much time with me because if he looks at me too long, I remind him of Mom. That's what he told me one night when he accidently came home drunk. He takes good care of me though, promise.

Daddy works as a business man for some big publishing company so he makes a lot of dough. He pretty much lets me use it on whatever I want. You may think I'm spoiled, but I'm not, promise. If I was spoiled then I wouldn't appreciate all of the Louis Vuitton bags and Dior clothes he buys me but I do, I really do. I'm not some sort of selfish brat or anything. If you ask Sandra though, she'll tell you the opposite. Daddy married Sandra a couple of years back, probably out of pity. I think he knows she's only with him for his money but he just doesn't care. That woman is the spawn of Satan, I swear. She hates my guts. Before she came around, I got all of Daddy's attention, as limited as it is, and money. When she shoved herself into the picture, he had to cut down the already scarce time he spent with me to spend time with the she devil. But my weekly allowance has shot up from $200 to $300 to compensate for it due to my complaining, so I guess that's a plus.

I didn't always know I would be a witch. Mom went to Hogwarts but decided to leave her home in London after graduating to live in the States and work as a model leaving the Wizarding World behind. When Daddy met her he had no idea since he was just an ordinary Muggle himself. She eventually told him her secret but promised she had left behind any thought of returning to her old life as a witch so I guess he was okay with it. Mom never told me since I was probably too young to understand and I think she was hoping I would turn out to be a Muggle. It wasn't until my 10th birthday party that Daddy told me the truth. I mean, he kind of had to after my fury of not having vanilla cake instead of strawberry caused the four tier cake to burst into flames leaving me a sobbing mess. That was probably the last time he's talked to me for more than 5 minutes as of now. I was so excited and couldn't wait to go to school and use my powers, but me made me promise not to do anything on purpose. I agreed, but what he wouldn't know wouldn't hurt him.

A little over a year later my letter for Hogwarts arrived. I couldn't wait to learn to use my powers and I think Daddy was relieved that I was leaving though he'd never admit it. It's been four years since then and I'm doing better than ever. My closet is full, my powers are getting stronger, and I've yet a moment to regret. I have the world wrapped around my finger. What can I say?"

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!

Billie's model is Alicia Silverstone.

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!)

Billie is a Half-Blood witch.

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!)

Billie has no special abilities.

6) What year is your character in?

Billie is in her 4th 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)?
