Forum:Tatyana Romanova

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.


 * n: she's callous, pompous and vain.
 * p: methodical, clear-headed and charismatic.

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 doesn't have a certain objective for her life, other than trying to make a sense of her life.

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


 * She'd likely spend it out and about, shopping in some of the biggest malls in the world. She knows her parents can afford it.

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


 * 1) Her credit card and key to the vault, because shopping has always been a stress-reliever.
 * 2) Her wand, because it's the one thing that always seems to get her out of trouble.
 * 3) Her gold bracelet. She can't help but feel it's a very, very important item.
 * 4) Her phone. While she lives in a world without technology, she can't be in the muggle world without one. They're fascinating. It's the one good thing muggles have ever made.
 * 5) Her Chanel bag, a gift from Roman when they first travelled to Paris for a family vacation.

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


 * Most likely to have better, stronger memory potions, dammit. It'd really help her a lot.

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!)


 * Tatyana found it easy to adapt to her family's way of living. Though she's still reluctant about it on the inside, she hasn't ever shown it, instead being that stuck up, pompous girl she'd been pressured into becoming. She tends to be vain, always concerned with how she looks. She thinks a little too highly of herself, something it seems she inherited from her father. Like the rest of the Romanov family, Tatyana tends to be callous and hard-bitten.


 * Tatyana doesn't back down from a challenge, nor does she relent when the beliefs instilled in her are questioned. She's a stubborn girl, very head strong. She's witty, something else she got from her father. This past year, Tatyana has developed a thick skin that barely anything seems to penetrate. She's rough around the edges, but she really does have a good heart. You just have to dig a little deeper.


 * Tatyana has her weaknesses, though. She loves children, for instance, as they always get a smile out of her. She a charismatic girl, who you'll likely get along with if you manage to get past her rough exterior. She's an enigma, a puzzle to solve. While she's very organized and efficient, she can be a bit of a slacker sometimes. While she's more often than not clear-headed, there are times where she just finds herself at a loss. Like why she can't remember her past. Sometimes, she wonders if she's even who everyone claims her to be. But she can't think like that. She's methodical. A realist, with no space left for her own dreams and ambitions.


 * As much as she hates her family, she has to admit... her act is becoming easier with every passing day. She's becoming one of them.

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!)


 * Tatyana Romanova doesn't know who she is. Her earliest memory is of just a year ago, waking up in a hospital with two very concerned people looming over her. Roman and Svetlana, they claimed to be. They were all sweet smiles and charming personalities to the doctors who were treating the girl they claimed to be their daughter. As far as anyone was concerned, Tatyana had been kidnapped her entire life and had only just been reunited with her parents. Nobody doubted it, what with the bruises that decorated her pale figure and the policemen gathered around to collect their statements.


 * Tatyana's parents - Roman and Svetlana - showed their true colors once they arrived home. Both adults were blood supremacists, strict believers in being superior to everyone just by their status. They are the kind of family to have a personal vendetta with just about every other family existence. They're the kind of family to have people in their basement, undergoing some form of medieval torture for the stupidest of reasons.


 * It took a while, for Tatyana to get used to her family when she didn't even have her memories, but she got there. Little by little, she got used to their ways of life, in Moscow, Russia. To be fair, she'd felt something had been off at first. She had a mixture of a German and British accent, and her brothers and sisters seemed to be wary of her, as if hiding a secret from her.


 * In due time, however, she began to forget about that feeling. She immersed herself in her family's ways, intent on becoming their favorite. She was able to catch up with two years worth of magical education. She was unable to attend Koldovstoretz, for obvious reasons, but her parents had promised her she'd be able to attend with her brothers and sisters for third year and onwards.


 * A newly reformed girl, who still had no idea of her past, was set to begin attending Koldovstoretz for her third year. However, she faced a new issue. Her parents were relocating the family to Great Britain. She, like her brothers and sisters, had to attend Hogwarts. She hadn't taken well to the news at first, not really. Something about that school felt... odd to her. But her siblings had seemed unaffected, so she really had no other choice but to agree and attend the academy with them.

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!


 * Her FC is Bridget Satterlee.

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!)


 * She does not.

6) What year is your character in?


 * Third year

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)?
