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: smart, generous, opinionated weaknesses: sarcastic, irritable, defensive

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?

Success, in some form or another.

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

Exploring a new city with a group of friends, or reading a good book.

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

'''Her copies of the Dasam Granth and Nit Nem, her wand, and her hairbrush because she'll be damned if she's caught dead with messy hair. Nothing else really.'''

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

'''Probably the prejudices towards non-wizards and muggleborns. She thought racism wouldn't exist in the wizarding world but apparently it does, just in a different format.'''

Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.

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!)

'''Roshani tries so, so hard to be the nicest person you'll ever meet, but she loves drama too much, poor girl. She's super friendly at first meeting - unless she's heard some shit about you, in which case maybe not. Sharing is second nature for her, due to the nature of her community back home, and she still gets surprised when it doesn't come as naturally to everyone else.'''

'''Raised in a devout Sikh household, Roshani's pretty skeptical that God truly exists. However, she loves the community that exists within her religion and now views the worship as more of a cultural thing than anything else. Regardless of her level of devotion, she still doesn't take kindly to people who make fun of her religion.'''

'''A naturally very opinionated person, Roshani is far from shy, and if she has a problem with you or your viewpoint she'll let you know. She believes that while "everyone's opinion is valid" is great in theory, in practice it most certainly is not. In fact, she takes a kind of pleasure in ripping arguments - and people's egos - to shreds, and is a great debater. Sarcasm is her favourite pastime.'''

'''Truly, Roshani does want to be friends with everyone, but her loud, stubborn nature makes this a little difficult sometimes. Just give her a chance, though, and she'll be one of the best friends you can ever get.'''

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!)

'''Shiraz Kaur and Bhaskar Singh were two ordinary muggles born in a poor part of Punjab, India. Both raised in devout Sikh families, they began courting at the age of fifteen - not dating, can you imagine the scandal? Aged 18, they were married and moved away to Amritsar where Bhaskar had been accepted into the Guru Nanak Dev University. A year into his studies and along came baby Roshani.'''

'''Raised in Amritsar for her first four years of life, Roshani never really had much contact as a toddler with her father. She read somewhere, once, that this meant she never got the chance to develop an attachment to him, and she wholeheartedly agrees with this. While she's incredibly attached to her mother, to her father she's fairly indifferent.'''

'''Following his studies Bhaskar was offered a job in the UK, and after obtaining himself a permanent visa was able to bring his wife and daughter over. Roshani, now aged seven, settled in at her new British state school, completely eliminating her accent in a matter of months, and quickly proved herself a precocious kid. She takes pride in having gotten good scores on all of the level six SAT papers.'''

'''Aged eight, Roshani mentioned to her mother that she could feel other people being touched, or hurting themselves, if she saw it. Naturally, this freaked the latter out a little, but her father gave her a diagnosis: mirror-touch synesthesia. Basically, her sense of sight and sense of touch are really messed up. On top of this, she also has the usual synesthesia: chromesthesia. She sees sound, and feels sights. Weird, right?'''

'''Aged eleven, Roshani received the most ridiculous sounding message of her life: she was going to Hogwarts. Her first sign of magic having been years before, vanishing a pan in the communal kitchen at her local gurdwara, she supposes she should have been a little less surprised than she was, but cut her some slack, okay?'''

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!

Sara Arjun

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!)

Synesthete

6) What year is your character in?

First

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)?
