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.


 * Lani's strengths are certainly people-related - she's good at talking to people - and art, because her entire life revolves around her artistry. Her weaknesses? How clingy she is. It becomes annoying after a while.

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?


 * It's to keep Lena happy, more than anything, as Lena is the most important person in her life.

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


 * Spraypainting political art onto the walls of Hogsmeade with Lena - that's what they're best at.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?
 * 1) Her spray paints
 * 2) Her sketchbook
 * 3) Her wand - because she needs it, obviously.
 * 4) Her snapbacks - they're so colourful!
 * 5) Her jackets - same reason.

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


 * The intolerance! Her family was anti-everything and it was so toxic.

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


 * She literally does not care.

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!) Lani is certainly a girl of extremes. There is no grey area with her, because grey is dull and boring and too much of life is spent in it, so she spends most of her time in the bright ends of the spectrum - which is why she's so damn chatty. It's not hyperactivity as such - most of the time, she is a well-mannered girl with a taste for recklessness and a love of living in the moment; if the events of her family life have taught her anything, it's that life can end at any unexpected moment, so there's no point in wasting it. She's an absolute motormouth: be warned. She can keep a conversation going for days and will never forget any random, insignificant detail you mention one day. She's the best friend for remembering birthdays - it's a talent of hers. She's naive at times, and quite malleable, but very intelligent. Her desire to be the best best friend of everybody sometimes makes her a little desperate eager, so she has a penchant for taking the rap for other people. However, there is no denying that Lani is such a good friend. She is fiercely passionate for the people she cares about - hell, she'd die for them - and her favourite way to show it is through gifts and drawings and being insanely touchy-feely. Seriously, she has no concept of personal space. She's the type of girl who will kiss her friends on the cheek or forehead or shoulder and hug you when you least expect it, and she loves playing with people's hair. And mate, if you play with her hair, she will honest-to-god love you forever. She very easily adapts to different types of people, and always strives to make even the shyest feel comfortable. This can come across as overbearing or be suffocating sometimes, but unfortunately she's too excitable to realise. She just - really really loves making friends. She's been lonely before, and it fucking sucks, so she never wants to be like that every again. Even if she has to surround herself with dickheads, she'll make it work. Rebellious at heart, she doesn't have a total disregard for the rules - she's just allergic to strictness, especially if it's unnecessary. She hates Hogwarts uniforms (um, hello, she does have an identity) and always sneaks out at night to just go exploring because honestly, what's the worst they can do? Expel her? They can fucking try. Art is the reason Lani was ever put onto the Earth - that she truly believes. Though she is still developing her skills, there is no doubt that a spray can and an empty wall is equivalent to Christmas morning to her. She'll always be scribbling some sort of sketch or graffitiing her notebooks, and yes, she is cheesy enough to leave little hello!s carved into the desks in the Charms classroom. You'd make her day if you replied.

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 o e

ighth character, and four paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth character!) "When it comes to being dealt a good hand in life, my parents basically got a two pair. They were the most ordinary people you could find, just two healthy Muggles on the coast of Honolulu, working ordinary jobs and living in an ordinary house. I don't remember much of it, personally. There was a pink couch, and I think a cat, but most of it a grey blur. I do remember getting the news, though; there was some sort of accident with a boat that had a dodgy motor and... yeah. Apparently they rushed to get me to shore, but couldn't save themselves. At least they went together, right? I can think of worse ways to go."

"Anyways, I got sent to an orphanage, and then adopted a few months later. I was about six years old, that age where you start to question stuff and keep asking  why to everything - why am I going to live with you? Why can't I go back home? etc, etc - and all of sudden I'm being shipped to the other side of the state to live with a bunch of strangers. It was great, at first. They all seemed super nice, I made some friends - I made Lena, which, I mean: best friend  ever - and then when I hit the age of about ten, they decided to drop this massive bomb on me that they were fucking  wizards."

"Now, obviously, my ten-year-old ass thought they were all crazy people and I wanted out of there as quick as possible. But, turns out they'd adopted both me and Lena because they 'saw our magical qualities', as Papa put it; yes, we were damn magicians too. I didn't believe them of course, but then I started turning things different colours without touching them. That changed my mind a bit."

"I was due to go to Salem, the magical school in America, but Lena and I didn't stay in Hawaii long enough to do that. You see, as we grew up, we began to see our family for what they really were: a bunch of pig-headed bigots. My parents were as anti-Muggle as you can get - in fact, they were anti-everything. Anti-Muggle, anti-creatures, anti-half-breeds. It was mental. And as more of their adopted kids started to see it, some grew to agree and others grew to resent: the latter was basically me, Lena and some cousin of mine, Mauli. We were stuck there as a trio, listening to Papa spout prejudiced bullshit twenty-four hours a day until Mauli came up with a solution: get the hell out of there."

"I know what you're thinking. Yes, it was kinda stupid and extreme, but it worked, didn't it? Basically, Mauli was old enough to apparate and he linked arms with us and tried to take us to England. Why England, you ask? I don't know. You'd have to ask him but you can't, because he kind of splinched himself into a different dimension during the process and me and Lena landed in the middle of London with no English money, no plans and no Mauli. We still don't know where he is. I spend a lot of time trying not to blame myself, honestly."

"London is very fast and nobody pays attention to anything, which is sad, but luckily it was a wizard who found me and Lena shivering in the street. He apparated us up to Lil' Bundles - difficult as we were both shit scared of apparating, for obvious reasons - and dropped us off there. We started Hogwarts like, the week after. And that's where my story starts, I guess."

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!

Lani is - simply put - bright. Barely reaching five feet four on a good day, she's freckled from head to toe with a long swathe of brown hair and equally brown eyes. Her clothing style is insanely colourful, but never to a degree where things clash or mismatch because hey, if she's good at anything, it's colour schemes. Oh, and she's always wearing accessories, whether they be earrings or fake tattoos or a snapback on backwards. What's the point of wearing the same boring robes every day?

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!)

Muggleborn

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!)

Nei

6) What year is your character in?

Fourth

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)?
