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.

'''His strengths would be his loyalty to his family and friends and his faith in them. He's also quite inquisitive in areas he finds interesting, able to retain a lot of information, though this is at the expense of information he doesn't find interesting. His weakness would be that he struggles with authority and often breaks rules. He's also incredibly stubborn and sometimes too apathetic too people he doesn't care for and his own emotions.'''

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?

Being eleven, Tate isn't quite sure where he wants to be in life, but he's thinking maybe something to do with dealing with curses or something to do with the Ancient world.

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

Maybe reading about some myth, but really just with his friends or watching TV, he finds them all relaxing.

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

One would be his collection of books on myths and history, the next would definitely be his wand, a small figurine of a boat, his video game console, and his childhood blanket.

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

'''He's not really sure. His attention isn't on the wizarding world, have grown up kind of separated from it. Maybe he'd like a more friendlier system and people, not really liking the apparent rivalries between the houses at Hogwarts.'''

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

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!)

'''Tate is your typical eleven year old, innocent, naive, and definitely not interested in both the same or the opposite gender. The only thing he cares about is history. He adores both muggle and wizarding history, especially the ancient cultures. He's also a bit of a troublemaker, often acting out in spaces when he gets bored, he doesn't try to be disruptive, he just gets bored when a topic isn't something he enjoys so he tries to turn his mind to something more entertaining. He doesn't have much respect to rules and is quite willing to break them if he believes there is a good reason to. Though, in Tate's mind, a 'good reason' could be anything that isn't usually described as a good reason.'''

'''He is very loyal, though, and takes great risks in order to help others, particularly his loved ones, regardless of what he'd have to do to to help them (though he'd draw the line at murder or any serious injury). He also gets quite emotional if he gets wind if his friends are hurt or if someone is bothering them and can often take other people's problems as his own. For this, he could be considered incredibly reckless, even stubborn. However, Tate can often be described as apathetic to those he doesn't like and emotionally cut off, especially when someone insults him or his friends.''' '''Tate is also true to his word and does his best to follow through with his promises. He also has absolute faith in his friends and family, never believing they would turn their back on him. However, he's also prone to more dry wit rather than sarcasm or humour and rarely lets himself laugh, usually only giving only a small smile to something he finds humorous.'''

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!)

''' His mother, Ella, never got the chance to tell Tate's father that she was a witch. She never got the chance to tell him anything, really, for Tate's father was gone when she was eight months pregnant. She wasn't sure when he went and maybe she could go to certain measures to find out but she wasn't going to. He didn't want anything to do with either of them, so why would she stoop so low as to beg him to stay and help her raise a child? Ella could do that by herself and so on November 3rd, Tate was born in Cork, Ireland, being raised mostly by his mother. When his mother worked, he was baby sat by his teenage uncle, Ronnie. His uncle was always close with Tate and Tate eventually came to view him as a sort of father figure, despite Ronnie being too young for a responsibility. '''

'''Having been raised in a small Irish town on the coast, he was almost raised constantly on both the ocean and Irish folklore, despite his family being a wizard family they had a strong national identity to Ireland. Despite their influence, Tate found himself separated from this belief and doesn't quite have same prejudice against Britain his mum and uncle displayed. Still, he loved his family and his family loved him. There were times when Tate wondered about his father and got curious, trying to find clues about him through asking his mother, uncle, and even going through his mother's drawers even after he would get caught. But nothing stretched from this and his father was a distant fantasy at the back of his mind.'''

'''His childhood changed when his uncle died. His uncle, though even now Tate doesn't know the full details, had gone through a break up which left him with a diminished mental state which he struggled with for years, which eventually reached his climax. It took years for Tate to finally figure out how he died, having originally been told that Ronnie had just passed away. When he was ten, he realised it was suicide through overhearing his mum talk about it. Tate had shoved his own emotions away, not seeing his mother break down over it and believe it the right method is through sweeping it under the rug. Over the next few days, he began to deal with his grief which eventually built up to using magic, making objects fly around, smashing into each other, displaying his anger. He didn't talk to his mother about the event, having found his mother spending most of her time at work. Tate felt alone but it changed when he got his Hogwarts letters just before he turned eleven.'''
