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.

Strengths: The ability to see the beauty in everything. She never gives up on anybody - not even those that she really should.

Weaknesses: Low self-esteem and high gullibility. Need I say more?

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 capture all the beauty in the world so that she can share it with people that are sad. (her words not mine)'''

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

'''Spending time outside. Just enjoying the sounds of nature really makes her feel at peace.'''

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

'''She wouldn't keep much to be honest. Probably just her wand, camera and phone.'''

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

'''The reliance on magic and their blinded viewpoints on the wonders that Muggles have created for themselves. They've done some pretty neat stuff!'''

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

Well my character honestly wouldn't mind as long as the head of house is nice.

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!)

Sybille is a quiet soul. She believes strongly in the power of words so she saves her voice for when it matters. Of course, that's what she tells herself. In reality she thinks that she has nothing worth saying so she doesn't speak unless she feels the need. This is probably brought on by the fact that her family is...interesting. Her grandfather doesn't exactly like her mom for being the 'black sheep' if you catch my drift. Of course, her parents have tried to get her to talk by various LEGAL and NONABUSIVE means - each one has failed but she loves them for trying to make her feel more confident.

If you have come to the conclusion that she seeks affection from people, your not wrong. It's not from a lack of love from her parents - oh no! It's just a part of who she is. She wants to feel loved and appreciated and her way of getting that is by staying silent. You'll find that she's actually really dorky and friendly if you approach her first. Of course, this makes her a kind hearted human being - but like all people she has her weaknesses. She has a very low self-esteem and has a tendency to believe whatever anyone says.

Sybille finds beauty in the simplest of things - from the first snowflake that falls in November to the bees flying lazily during June. She attempts to keep those moments forever by capturing them in pictures. It makes her smile and it actually makes it easier for her to communicate where she wants to go or do. When she gets close to someone, she smiles a lot more and will often share her crazy ideas about whatever it is she's thinking about. She'll also reveal a very strong will and determination to do her best despite how she feels about herself. 

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!)

Sybille was born on August 28, 2024 to Veronica Belfry - one of the daughters of a very wealthy pureblood supremacist - and Adrien Macmillan - a young wizard that stole Veronica's heart. Sybille Alayna Belfrey is the youngest of three and definitely the quietest - literally. She used to be a babbler until she was in kindergarten. You see, strange things would often happen around the young girl, things that couldn't be explained. She was often bullied by the younger kids which caused her to slowly and surely become quieter and quieter until she stopped talking all together.

Before you say anything, people cope with bullying in different ways. Some people just deal with it, others face it head on. Sybille, however, coped by adopting the belief that she should only speak if what she has to say is important - which is almost never. I say 'almost' because she did speak once when she turned eight years old. It was when her first sign of magic occurred.

It was a very small thing. Something so trivial it would've not even mattered much to another child her age, however for her it did. She found a little red and gold leaf on one of the higher branches in a tree. She wanted this leaf so badly - it was beautiful! - when suddenly, it detached itself from it's twig and floated right into her outstretched hand. So was so happy about this little thing that she immediately went and raced to her mother and excitedly told her everything that happened (while waving the leaf in her mother's face naturally).

When she learned everything she could about Hogwarts, she was immediately overcome with a mixture of overwhelming excitement and dread. What if nobody liked her? What if she was the odd one out again? All she could do was wait and find out. Besides, she can always spend her free time outside... 

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!

Mackenzie Foy

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!)

Pure-Blood

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!)

Nope

6) What year is your character in?

First Year next year that is

OOC Questions

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)?
