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. Her biggest strength, I think, would be that she isn't easily fazed by anything. She's really up for anything, just say the word. Her biggest weakness is that she's perpetually confused and hates exerting any sort of effort.

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 just wants a job where she can travel a lot. She hasn't really thought of it. Maybe she'll become a dragonologist like her dad, or maybe she'll do something with runes and artifacts. She can't imagine being stuck in one place.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Sleep in until whatever time she wants, probably ride a dragon somewhere with friends, then go out on some adventure in a place where she doesn't speak the language, have two near death experiences, then crash at 3AM.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? Her metal straw (because we should save the sea turtles!), her wand (because she needs it), her hairbrush (oh God, you should see her at Peak bed head), some Floo powder (to take her wherever she wants to go), and her passport (for a quick getaway).

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? She'd want to invent more spells that help wizards and witches everywhere become more sustainable. They have literal magic at their fingertips, why can't they fix global warming?

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? '''Hufflepuff but only because she'll be next to the kitchens and she doesn't want to walk that far. (She wouldn't fit in there though, if it's all about hard work. Gross.)'''

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!) 'Arisu is perpetually tired. It's like she has her own timezone. If you ask her how she is, she's probably going to have a reply that's somewhere along the lines of lacking sleep. Which is really something considering you will not find her awake in any of her classes. The epitome of "I don't care", it's not that Arisu is a bitch, but she just doesn't see anything better to do. She'll be wide awake if you find something interesting, but after spending majority of her life growing up surrounded by dragons'', the bar has been set pretty high. She doesn't talk very much unless it's necessary. Talking, of course, is hard, and she tries to put minimal effort into all her work. She finds reciting in class and talking in front of crowds hard. Hogwarts will be her first time surrounded by people her age. The opposite of an overachiever, Arisu still makes sure to do everything that's asked of her. She doesn't want to be deadweight. She is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, though. It's easy for her to get lost (both figuratively and literally) and would greatly appreciate someone to give her direction (again, both figuratively and literally). This makes it very easy for people to underestimate her. She has her moments, and when they occur, they're good. Arisu is not aware of the fact that she has any Veela blood in her. It wasn't something her mom brought up a lot or gave much mind. The fact that she's able to get people to do what she wants really confuses her, especially because she knows she's a class A uselesspiece of garbage sometimes. It annoys her how easily she gets her way sometimes, but won't deny that it's definitely helpful. A big part of Arisu's personality is also that she cares very, very much about the environment. A huge advocate for the preservation of wildlife, her biggest pet peeve is when people don't do the small things like recycle, not use straws, keep the water running even when they don't have to... Ugh. She's always felt a connection with nature and other creatures, possibly because of her veela blood. This sleeping beauty would very much rather not be woken up by true love's kiss. Give her five more minutes.'''

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!) 'Arisu Nakamura was born to Kaito and Hikari, a young couple from Japan. Falling almost instantly in love (probably had something to do with the fact Hikari was 1/4 veela), the two of them were a match made in heaven; both adventurous, thrill-seeking, and passionate about living life to the fullest. He must've proposed around six times before she finally'' said yes (she was only saying 'no' to annoy him), and even after they finally got engaged, the wedding kept being postponed over and over again whenever the pair would find a new adventure they'd want to embark on. When Hikari got pregnant with Arisu, the two of them decided that maybe it was time to stop procrastinating, and got married on a mountaintop officiated by a random stranger they met earlier that day. A baby only stopped their adventures for a short while. Kaito, a dragonologist and Hikari, a famous photojournalist were constantly on the move. Luckily for them, Arisu was a very well-behaved child. She even began showing her first signs of magic at an especially early age. At six, she would breathe fire to match that of the dragons her father would take her to see. Constantly traveling from place to place, Arisu was homeschooled. It seemed to be the most convenient plan for her and her parents. As a result, she doesn't have much childhood friends. Still, who needs them when in their stead you have dozens of pet dragons? She picked up many different languages from reading many different books and watching cable TV in whatever area she was at the time, but was never a talkative or rambunctious child. Rather, she'd keep to herself a lot. If there wasn't anything interesting to do (which was rare), she'd go to sleep. At the age of 13, the unthinkable happened. Her mother died while on a shoot in a warzone, a job that Kaito had begged her not to take. Going into a depressive state, Arisu's father stopped his adventures for a while, stationing himself and his daughter in Romania as he tried to manage life after his wife's death. Arisu had her own way of coping as well. After days of not eating, not sleeping, and non-stop crying, she eventually decided that her mother would not like to see her like this. She continued studying even though her mom was her primary tutor being homeschooled. She looked after father's dragons when he was too sad to go outside. Still, the unbearable sadness had her acting out. Often leaving their small home without telling anyone, Arisu must've gotten lost a hundred times in pursuit of the adventure that her mom was always chasing after. Her accidental outbursts of magic also became more frequent and dangerous, fire always finding a way into the spectacle. After a couple of months, her father had his time to grieve and he was ready to travel the world again. Another dragonologist, a good friend of the family, recommended to Kaito that he enroll Arisu in a boarding school. They had the money for it, after all. Arisu's father found it to be a good idea, and the pair have settled in London for the summer to arrange for her to transfer into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She's unsure and to be frank quite pissed that the supposed cure for her wanderlust and sadness is to coop her up in some dull boarding school for nine months a year. The plan, as it always has been whenever there isn't anything interesting to do, is to sleep. It makes the days go by faster.'''

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!  Takahashi Kako 

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!) Half-blood, 1/8 veela.

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!) 1/8 veela.

6) What year is your character in? 4th.

 * A. This is my first character.


 * B. No, this is not my first character.
