Please put ~ here.

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

Alfonso would say his biggest strength is his face or his muscles, but really, it's the experiences he's had that made him who he is. The cultured part of him makes him kind and understanding towards everyone.

His biggest weakness is his tendency to be guarded around new people. He's not a very outgoing person, and it's hard for him to make connections.

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

Alfie is fairly happy with his life nowadays

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

Alfie is a bit of a workaholic, so he likes spending time alone at his desk, doing his job.

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

Alfie has a couple of things he likes having around at all times. His wand, for one. Obviously. Secondly, his phone. It may not work around magic, but he likes seeing the pictures he took while he was travelling - The people he met. All of it. Third of all, he'd like to keep his headphones around. Mostly because it's a deterrent to keep people from talking to him. Next would be a lifetime supply of food. He likes food. Last, it's a picture of his family- Cousins and everything

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

Ironic, coming from him, but he hates how disconnected everyone is.

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (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!)

Alfonso's parents were the definition of American College Sweethearts. Blanca was a normal Muggle girl who was studying Modern Art in a college near Alejandro Torres' hometown. He was a party boy in the fraternity that Blanca hung out with. The two clicked, and before they knew it, their four years in College were over - And Alejandro proposed to Blanca, knowing he didn't want her out of his life.

The two got married, and their first child, Alfonso. Not their last. Alfie grew up with two sisters anf two brothers, all younger than him. Frankly, he thought it to be too many children, but his parents went at it like rabbits. Still, he loves all his siblings, and wouldn't trade them for the world.

Alfonso's childhood was full of love and of fun. They were born in one town, but growing up they moved around a bit, Alfie stayed with his cousins a couple of times. Around nine years old, something happened that would change Alfonso's life - His sister Camila was in the phase of life where she'd experiment with make-up - on everyone. Including him. Alfie had gotten annoyed when she was plucking his eyebrows. He pushed her off, and when she caught a look in the mirror next, her head practically exploded.

Blanca was utterly confused, but it seemed like Aljeandro knew exactly what happened. He sat all of teh children down and explained their heritage- And when Alfie turned 11, he was sent off the Castelobruxo. He spent the next few years there learning of magic and how to control it- And when eh got out, he was a bit lost.

Alfie decided to travel some. His father was more than open to letting him take a few years off to find himself. When he came back, he had decided he had loved the otehr cultures and wanted to be part of it as much as he could; unfortunately, it wasn't a good adult plan to jsut be travelling for the rest of his life. But when teh British Ministry offered him a position as the head of their International Magical Cooperation. Alfie decided to take it, so he moved to England.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)

His life hadn't turned out like he wanted, but one consistent thing about Alfie is that he is very adaptable in his behavior - He keeps a calm demeanor around people for work, never being one to be unprofessional or weirdly personal. He's very likable, being a very manneristic and kind person, but he has a boundary, one he doesn't like people he doesn't want breaking. He's a fairly guarded person.

Those he allows in sees a much different person than the typical business guy. Alfie is fun-loving, loving to tease and joke around. Sometimes his jokes can be seen as fairly narcisstic, but all they are are jokes (Maybe). He loves his family to the ends of the earth and has a very protective outlook on anyone he considers family. Hurt them, you hurt him, and those muscles are not just for show. Alfie doesn't like being violent, though. He probably just uses them to scare.

Alfie is a very cultured person, knowing facts and having first-hand experiences from multiple cultures. Fe's mindful to everyone and their differences, no matter what they be. He tries to be careful around them. Alfie actually hates offending people, and would do anything to make up for a mistake he's made.

He's also a bit of a workaholic, as he loves his job. He can typically be seen still in the office after hours, doing what he needs to do in order to get thigns done. Alfie despises not being productive, and he's not much of a people person, so he likes spending alone time at his desk.

3) Are you 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

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

No

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?
