The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Vivian is quite mysterious, preferring to ask the questions, rather than answer them. If a person gets too inquisitive about her, she will shut down, completely and utterly. While she will appear to get self-concious, Vivian rarely, if ever gets that way. Vivian shuts down to avoid pain. After people get close, they inevitably leave, and then comes the pain. It is a way to avoid pain for herself.'''

'''Though she may put out a bristly and solid exterior, Vivian is really just afraid of getting hurt. She wishes to protect herself from everything and/or everyone. If someone were to get close to her, they may see that Vivian is actually quite able to be sweet and nice. '''

'''Though Vivian tries to be open, it is very hard to break old habits. Some days, she may appear to be very contradictory, though she does not mean that. Vivian is a girl of opposites. White and black, fire and ice, cold and heat, red and blue. It's all Vivian. Opposites may attract, but the two of them make up Vivian.'

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each. 'Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Vivian and her mother moved to London when she was ten, in order to follow an employment opportunity for her mother. Vivian's mother works as a Muggle model for high-end fashion. Vivian's father died in an automobile crash when she was just four. Her father, David, and her mother, Emma, were on the way to their OB-Gyn to check on Emma's pregnancy. She was pregnant with Vivian's younger brother, Cyrus. David was the Wizard of the family.' Robert and Emma met on a tour of Chicago. Emma is originally from New York City, but moves around a lot for her job. They fell in love, and it wasnt long before baby Vivian came along. After Vivian arrived, Emma and David stayed together. Four years later, things were still going well, and the car crash happened. At this time, Vivian was around four. A few years later, Vivian was eight, and was growing up a cute child. However, at this time, Vivian  started exhibiting signs of magic. At first, Emma was confused, then realised that it was only Vivian showing signs of magic, like her father before her. The first signs were only a few breezes where there shouldnt be any, but when Vivian was nine, her mother dropped a book and it made a very large BANG! As this happened, there was a huge, blinding flash of light, and the temperature went down about a dozen degrees Celsius. Emma gasped and looked around, suddenly chilly. Vivian gasped and whined, "I'm sorry momma! That just scared me!" Shortly after this sign, Vivian and her mother packed up and moved to London.

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! Model: Lauren Carlton '''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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)'''

Vivian is a Half-Blood.

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

6) What year is your character in?

Vivian is a Sixth Year at Hogwarts.

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

Vivian would like to be in Ravenclaw, like her paternal grandparents, or Slytherin, like her father.

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

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"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs. I have three other characters, with only one of them being exotic.

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

Keeping secrets

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

Vivian would really like to avoid being in large, open spaces for long periods of time.

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

Whatever is beneficial to herself is what Vivian will ultimately do.

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

'''Vivian is not self-concious at all, and only acts that way when it can get her somewhere. Then again, that isn't a weakness. I suppose you could say that it is her unwillingness to be real with people.'''

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?

Vivian's wand is Blackthorn, 13 inches long, with a phoenix feather core.

As for why it chose her, it may be that Vivian has not yet reached the full extent of her power or has yet to reach her own limits.
