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 - Creative, faithful, loving

Weaknesses - Overemotional, suspicious, moody

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?

Being loyal to my family, the people who support me. I want to do as much for my Gran and whatever I can to honor my Pop while I can. They did everything for me when my parents ran out on. Paying them back for it is the least I can do.

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

Running in a mini marathon or playing on an obstacle or ropes course. It reminds me of Pop's.

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

Seashell collection only Pop's favorites.

A book of Gran's signature recipes.

A tie pin that belonged to my father.

A scarf that belonged to my mother.

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

Nothing. If things were perfect now there would be people who want to change it.

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

Gryffindor. Number one choice, they have all the best selling points. Lions, Fire, bravery, nerve, chivalry, courage and daring. What more could a girl ask for?

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!)

I like to keep busy outdoors where I can feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. I'm not that outdoorsy, I don't go camping and I don't care for sleeping on the ground. I'm completely at ease climbing the walls inside the house the thrill last longer when there's a bigger element of danger involved. I might look it but I'm not dainty. I've broken a lot of bone just from landing wrong, and that landing turning into a bad fall. I think it's given me a higher tolerance for pain.

Depending on what part of bell curve I'm caught on I can be an intuitive, caring and sensitive individual. If I'm the opposite it's a give and take sort of thing. I'm in the need at the moment and if you can do for me I'll gladly do you for you in return. I'm independent, so I may not willing accept a shoulder to cry on a a big hug to make me feel better right away. In the end I'll always take it because I rather have had it than wish I'd gotten it.

Cooperation isn't what I'm best at. I understand how it works but I was taught there is always one winner and several losers. If I'm forced to work alongside others as part of a group then each of us become losers. It's warped way of thinking to assume that anyone else will only drag me down, but it keeps me from being content with coming in second. I know what I'm capable of and I know that I should be proud of myself not matter the outcome if I have done the best that I can.

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!)

Life with my parents was average, they left me alone a lot. I guess I was independent because I hardly noticed. My grandparents did. They were the ones who made sure that I was fed, clothed and cared for. I couldn't have done it all on my own even though I did try. I was about eight when they found me changing the colors of a dress they'd asked me to wear. My grandfather didn't notice the difference, my grandmother knew immediately something was different. The color was so close it was my excitement she picked up. She asked me right away what was going on and I told her. I tried to show her and I think if I had more time i could have.

Aksa and Xavier were my defacto parents, I was old enough to know who they were and who they weren't when I got dropped off. It seemed like a visit at first. Then the trip got longer and longer, they had to find new ways to entertain me. They were really good about keeping me preoccupied and taking my mind off of my parents. I was well entertained, in some ways they did a good job. They always had me engaged in an activity, from sports to music to gardening to art. Anything that allowed me to use my hands they wanted me to learn.

Gran taught me to cook, she taught me sew and she taught me a little plants and home remedies along the way. Pops taught me a few things too. He was like a training partner in addition to being my father figure. He built an obstacle course for me, for us. He used to take me running along the beach at sunrise and sunset. It wasn't always running, we started with walking. I collected a lot of seashells with him. I had buckets full. When my grandmother complained out trips to the beach became about jogging then running. I couldn't stop stop to pick up about 40 shells each and every trip to the beach if I was too busy running from the waves.

My grandfather died during one of our runs. It was a sunset. I hated sunset, the beach and running forever. I can't say I got over it, I'll never get over it. I was able to say the word sunset and look at one without getting angry. I still don't like the beach as much as I used to, or water for that matter. I stopped using our obstacle course half as much as I liked to. It still makes me miss him more. Slowly, at a turtle pace, I got back into it. I liked thinking that he was watching me.

Around the time the paper owl brought my acceptance letter from Hogwarts Gran restricted the amount of obstacle course training I was allowed to do. She knew I liked imagining what Pops would be saying to me. It gets me to work harder. It make me feel like he's still here. I focus on art, music and all the other things my grandmother insists I don't ignore. I spend most of my time out doors which turned out to be unfortunate for me. It was late into summer when my mother showed up at our door i n an annoyingly over-the-top fashion. After scheming a lot of people out of a lot of money they were running away they wanted me to come.

With school starting there was no way Gran would allow it. Going might've killed her. She'd of had nothing left without me. I stayed with Gran while my parents fled the country. I don't know where they went, they don't keep in contact. I'm not sure they would've told me where they planned on going if I'd gone with them. They probably would have left me alone in some other country knowing that I could better take care of myself now. When Gran gets insufferable I sometimes wonder what it would've been like if I'd left.

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!

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!)

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!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

5th year

OOC Questions
