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.

Pythia's strength, as she would say, is her attitude about life. A very simple, "Why give a shit?" That is not to say she doesn't care about some things, but in her point of view, the less you care about what other people think, the happier you'll be.

Her biggest weakness is her "Gift" of sight. What is even the point of being a seer? It's just.. Uncomfortable. And it leaves her exposed!

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?

Pythia just wants to be left alone.

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

Pythia really enjoys reading, but more than anything, she enjoys peace and quiet. But then, she also enjoys talking with people. So maybe having a chat with someone she really gets along with. That'd be nice.

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

A full bottle of ibuprofen. The splitting headaches are n o t worth it.

Her wand, she supposes? She's not very attached to it, but she has to admit, magic is... useful.

A comfy chair

A good book. Actually, a entire library

HER BED. Pythia LOVES her bed.

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

Ugh. She just wants to get out.

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

Doesn';t matter to her.

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!)

The Tesla name ruined any of Pythia's hope for a normal life; Back at home, she'd be treated as a princess. In America, people would tease her for her name. But Pythia doesn't let it bother her. She's one of those people who can take a lot of crap. She doesn't particularly care what people think of her. She'll even make jokes at her own expense. Pythia uses jokes mostly as a way of coping, and she has a very dark sense of humor. Call her out for it, she'll call you pussilanimous.

That's the other thing about her, really. Pythia insults people so smoothly, you'd expect her to be one of those people who insults everyone. Mostly, though. Pythia keeps her thoughts to herself. She likes to thingk of herself as an extrovert, but she focuses more of others than she does herself. Pythia can be a great friend, if you don't mind jokingly being called a bitch.

Pythia loves using big words, if only not to convince her brothers she's not as dumb as they think she is. She isn't, of course, but brothers will be brothers. Pythia is, other than that, not one to show off. Reiterating: She focuses more on other people rather that herself. her borthers have affected her more ways than one. Meaning, she's much tougher than she looks. After being teased, bulllied, hit, etc due to living with four other guys. That happens.

Pythia had always felt as if she had something to prove to her family; She was never the favorite, despite being the only girl. No, that honor went to her smartest brother; The second youngest. Due to that, Pythia always seemed to dislike him a bit more than the others, despite loving her entire family. Due to him getting all the attention (EI her point of view), Pythia seems to do some things just for the attention, like acting out. Going out to party. One thing she would never, EVER, do is lie about having a vision. She wishes she never had them in the first place.

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!)

the Tesla family, in the 1800's, were a simple religous family. Then, Nikola was born and he defined the family for generations. The town that Zoran Tesla and Lena Vasic were born and raised was famous for being the birthplace of the man who invented the Tesla Coil. Zoran and Lena did not care for the celebrity status, but they kept the name. Why, is a mystery to their first child and only daughter, Pythia. Unlike her siblings, who took well to the spotlight and what their name is famous for, Pythia grew up hating the spotlight, just wanting a normal life. Alas, somewhere down the line, a Tesla married a witch, which ruined the chances of her bloodline ever being normal again.

Pythia was bound to find out that it was not just the witch blood that would make her life that more interesting. Pythia was the definition of a middle child with two older brothers and two younger. When she was 7, her youngest brother was still in her mother's stomach. It was a week to the gender reveal when Pythia had suddenly dropped her both of cereal, her eyes going white. When she snapped out of it, she winced at the headache, and suddenly spoke, "I was hoping for a sister!"

When her parents finally found out what she meant, they were shocked to say the least. It wasn't until Lena's family revealed the seer heritage that they understood. Pythia was, least to say, not as happy as her parents were to find out who she was. It wasn't much longer, though already confirmed, when Pythia had her first sign of magic; The lights flickered in her house. Pythia made a joke about their heritage and electricity, and then she left for school. Talk about not reacting. Pythia knew damn well what she did, but she honestly knew nobody cared.

Pythia received her letter to Durmstrang on her birthday. She didn't hate the school. People treated her pretty normal and it was pretty easy to hide her Seer abilities. She hid them because whenever she mentioned it, they made a huge deal about it; If only they knew the discomfort the 'gift' came with. Of course, it wouldn't last long. Zoran had found a new job with the Ministry of Magic in Britain, in the Department of Technological Advancements. Of course. Pythia and her family had to follow, and she's enrolling in Hogwarts for her fourth year in school.

Pythia is very much hoping not to reveal her abilities, but what are the chances of that? She'll just let life lead her into the unpredictable future-- Wait. Shit.

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 model is Odeya Rush

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!)

Pureblood

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's a seer

6) What year is your character in?

She's a fourth year.

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

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)?
