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!)

Like all human beings, Neviah has a lot more to her then her exterior. You see, when she first meets a person, she's extremely shy and quiet. She'll answer questions and ask her own but she most certainly will not make the first move. She's clumsy which gets her into a lot of awkward situations. However, this doesn't apply to when she's playing pretend. Like all children, Neviah has a huge imagination. The only difference? It's very much apart of who she is. You'll often find her telling wild adventure stories to her family or her with a little cardboard sword, ready to protect her kingdom. Her head is very much in the clouds, making her parents a bit frustrated when they try to tell her something. If you get her to warm up to you, you'll meet a very bubbly girl who will talk your ear off. Neviah will show her fierce loyalty and protectiveness towards you. She has a sharp tongue and is very sarcastic towards those she's mad at (or if she's just super close to you). She is a definite believer in words are more powerful then actions. What? It's what any adventurer needs.

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!)

Nicholas Shaffer was an ambitious young man. Especially since he was a wizard. He graduated as a Wampus from Ilvermorny ready to face the world. To bad he didn't like any of the options in the wizarding community. His solution? To join the United States Army. Specifically, the ROTC program. That was how he met his wife.

He was out for a morning jog when he ran straight into her. Talk about cliché right? Bare with me here. He quickly apologized to the woman before asking her out for a cup of coffee. Obviously the coffee date went well, considering six years later he was down on one knee, professing his undying love for Rosalie and how he wants her in his life. They married a few months later. To bad he had to go to training camp afterwards, leaving a pregnant wife behind.

Years later, they had a little surprise waiting for them. Neviah Lilith Shaffer was born on June 31, 2026. That's when Rosalie finally put her foot down. Neviah will be the last child that she gives birth too. Neviah's early years of life consisted of trying to be like her siblings and failing. So, when her dad decided to take them camping when she was six, she decided that she was going to show her siblings that she wasn't too little to play with them.

She found herself sitting outside of her tent at night, just watching the beautiful stars. She was pretending that they were her friends. That's how she met Mikael. Basically she just glanced towards the forest and saw this little wolf cub watching her. Somehow, they just....bonded. Making it so Mikael was her familiar. She ain't complaining. He's her best friend!

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!

'''Elle Fanning (shared with Frost). Later will be Taylor Swift.'''

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-Blood

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!)

Has a familiar bond with a wolf

6) What year is your character in?

7 years old.

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)?
