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 - Determined, observant, private

Weaknesses - Perfectionist, sensitive, dramatic

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?

To learn how to be happy with myself and not worry about being compared to someone else. So that it will not matter if I am not doing as well as other people my age.

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

Reading. I like to get away. If I cannot walk out of a door or climb out of a window to be somewhere else then I will read a book.

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

Lego Minifigure that I customized myself.

A Dictionary for fun reading.

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

I am not sure what I would change.

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

Hufflepuff? They seem like they would get along with everyone. Or maybe Ravenclaw, I heard they like books?

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!)

My mother Chloe met my father Reed while she was with her family. They were each dropping a sibling off at King's Cross Station. Neither would go on to have magic of their own but each continued to know about the wizarding world. My mother grew up a fair distance from my father. Their only opportunities to meet were when their siblings went away to school and they came again. Lucky for them there was seven years of it. When my father knew it would be the last time he got to see her he plainly asked in they could see each other more often. They called, wrote and eventually began seeing one another regularly.

My father Reed died before he could ever ask my mother to marry him. He was gone before she knew she was carrying his son. My mother began a relationship with another man; Maddox Wilder. A spontaneous relationship which in her grief-stricken state she meant to be temporary. During the course of their relationship when she found out she was pregnant she assumed the child, or me, to be his. When my mother learned the expected due date she knew who my biological father truly was. Her budding relationship with Maddox continued with Maddox knowing full well my parentage. I was given the name Pryor and raised by two loving parents in my mother and my adoptive father.

My younger sister Rhynn came along after Maddox married my mother. She was born with magic, she was flinging things and changing the color of her hair and eyes from the day she was born. She was being tutored years before I ever was. At that time magic was never something I was allowed to learn more about because I had not proven myself. I had yet to shown any signs the way that Rhynn had and no one expected that I ever would. They enrolled me in a muggle school expecting me to be normal. Years went by and I learned to live as Muggles do while Rhynn continued growing in magical talent even learning to ride a broom.

Not knowing about magic on the same level as as my mother, half-sister or step-father was unhelpful. Despite my half-sister being magical and having seen signs of magic firsthand themselves they never thought to share it with me. I was ten when my sister Rhynn was eight. She was excellently working my step-father's last nerve with a song she made up on the spot. It was funny to me, he did not agree. He snapped at me for laughing. After he finished scolding me a lamp from the end table almost hit him in the back of his head as it shot threw the window. He yelled at me even more for that. It was not until a year later when the special messenger from Hogwarts came that my step-father even pretended to apologize.

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!)

I thought having a father was going to be great the way it looks on tv. Then I learned that mine is dead. My mother waited until I was old enough to understand that death meant not coming back before she told me that Maddox was not my father. It soured our relationship. I no longer felt comfortable calling him dad, papa or anything other than Maddox. Not after I knew there was someone else who should have been in his place. I ended up with a need I cannot fill for the father I did not have.

After Rhynn was born my family fell apart, she had magic which changed our entire lives. We lived in a Muggle community, because of her we had to move. She was too little to know or care that she could not use her powers just anywhere. It became a chore of mine when we were younger to keep her from doing something someone might notice. She made me a little more jealous of her every single day.

There is almost no limit to what I will do for someone else even if I do not agree with it. I might ask questions and share my feelings. I almost always do what is asked of me. Everyone has the right and the ability to say no, to refuse. I cannot always say that is the best decision. It might make me seem blindly obedient, regardless I believe that everyone deserves their fair shot even if they have failed more in the past than succeeded at earning a first or second chance.

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!

Gustav Fog

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!)

Muggle-born

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!)

No.

6) What year is your character in?

1st
