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: Passion and thirst for knowledge. It really gets her places. Weaknesses: Doubt and her temper. She has the tendency to doubt herself and also get mad easily, which never works out well.

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 wants to change the world because she thinks she's capable of doing so, and you should always push your limits. She wants to find her parents and her family because she's curious and she has to belong somewhere.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Hanging back and watching a movie with some friends, then staying up till 3AM just telling stories. She doesn't need a lot to be happy.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? She'd keep her wand (for practicality), and nothing else. She could survive with just that and education alone, she thinks.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Wizards have magic for goodness' sake, they should at least try to do something about the environment!

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? None in particular. She'd want Ravenclaw though, since it has the whole pursuit of knowledge thing going on.

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!) ''' You know how veela can change from the most beautiful creature in all the land into a demonic looking harpy in just the blink of an eye? Yeah, that just about sums up Zo's entire personality. Zo is quiet mostly because she doesn't talk unless she needs to, not because she's shy. Most of the time, she just observes people and gives them looks. Next thing you know, she explodes into a never-ending speech about why bourgeoise are letting our planet go to the dumps. Zo is either passionate or indifferent. There is no in between. Get her on a roll and she will never, ever stop. Zo's also very charming, though she has no idea why. This is, of course, due to her half-veela nature but she knows nothing about that. Really, she finds herself to be... annoying. And not at all that special. Kind of bothersome, really. Why does anyone ever listen to her or find her interesting? She doesn't have the faintest clue. Still, it's never right to look a gift horse in the mouth, so she is using this to her advantage. She has quite the temper and sometimes when arguing her emotions get the best of her, which she really hates. It's her life goal to be able to calmly, rationally debate about her beliefs, which almost never happens because by the end of it her voice is about 100 decibels higher and she looks like she's about to cry. That doesn't mean she doesn't love fighting people. She finds it intellectually stimulating and it opens her eyes to viewpoints previously left unseen. However, she never really reached that point with anyone, though, because nobody ever argues with her that much. They just end up agreeing at some point. Again: odd. Zo is also quite the mother hen. She's insanely possessive of all her friends and gets jealous when she's not in on the inside jokes, or not at the hang outs they plan. She feels the need to keep them all safe and away from all harm. Anyone who hurts them will probably be in for an unpleasant surprise soon after. She's very curious and inquisitive. She asks questions about nearly everything, and always, always gets an answer somehow. She likes solving mysteries and if she doesn't become a florist, she'd very much like to become a detective of sorts. She believes knowledge is power, but using that knowledge to cement your beliefs is strength.'''

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 facts are these: 1. A baby in a basket was left on the doorstep of Lil' Bundles when she was one year old. 2. The baby's name was Zoé Chevalier, left on piece of paper in the basket in near perfect script. 3. The baby was beautiful, and she was not crying.  Of course, the orphanage took her in. Despite earlier claims that the baby was some sort of demon, all doubt was cast aside the moment anyone would look into her eyes. They were bright, they were blue, and they were absolutely charming. Zo would grow up to be quite the pesky kid, but she would still remain as charming. For some reason, she always got her way. Even with the adults. Because of this, she was left unsupervised a lot. This led to lots of mini-adventures which would inevitably get her into trouble that she somehow always managed to talk her way out of. How could something so cute cause so much mayhem, anyway? As she grew older she'd stop with the impromptu visits to Hogsmeade which would leave the entire orphanage panicking because oh my gosh we just lost a child, and opted for the adventures she'd find in books. Again, for some reason, she got her hands on a lot of literature that wasn't exactly age appropriate for a seven-year-old. Same goes for movies, TV shows, things on the internet, etc. She was let into places she shouldn't be at, and whenever they'd ask her where her guardian or parent was, she'd just blink innocently and say that she thought it was okay to be by herself. And again, for some reason, after that, it was always okay. To her it definitely was anyway. She was just broadening her horizons. So what if graphic descriptions of murder were involved? As the years went by, Zo became more and more curious about her mysterious beginnings. Who were her parents? Where did they live? Where were they from? Through extensive snooping, the facts multiplied: 4. Her mother died in battle. But which one? 5. If she wanted more answers, she should try finding someone named Jade Knight. But where? As the search continued, her magic became more and more evident. Zo had the tendency to take care of plants until her magic went into overdrive and her corner of the girls' room in Lil' Bundles was practically a forest that could only be managed by her. If anyone else tried cutting off their growth, they'd only come back stronger. She also discovered things about herself that she couldn't explain, namely: 6. She can speak perfect French, despite no one having taught her. 7. The thought of eating meat disgusts her. 8. She doesn't get burned when playing with fire. 9. Being surrounded by nature brings her peace. At this point, the adults were starting to get an inkling of what she might be. Not that anyone told her, of course. They weren't completely sure and they didn't want her thinking things that might just end up being false in the end. Still, they were all extra careful when talking to her, and put in extra effort when it came to putting their foot down instead of letting her have her way just like all those times before. When Zo turned eleven, she got her letter to attend Hogwarts. She was undoubtedly excited to attend, and is one hundred percent ready to change the world.'''

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 will be Joey King, then Alexis Bledel when she's older.

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-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!) Half-veela.

6) Wyour character in? 1st.
