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.

Her strength is her resilience, she's not extremely confident or so arrogant that she can't fail. She's realistic enough to know that sometimes she's got find a way to get things done that might not be typical and she uses it to her advantage.

Her weakness is her passive aggressiveness, she goes to great lengths to avoid confrontation. She's always trying not to allow the actions or behaviors of others to influence her preferring to appear unfazed by the things that happen around her.

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 be rich, not the boring kind of safe rich either. She wants to be the kind of wealthy person who is out and about living everyone else's dreams. Doing all those wild and crazy things you can only do when you have a ton of money to throw at any and every problem.

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

Doing something or absolutely anything at all. She doesn't like to sit around, her idea of relaxing doesn't involve a lot of sitting still or being in one place for too long. She likes to be active on her feet or off the ground.

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

Willow branch wrap bracelet, Stay Wild pin, a pinecone, one of her mother's credit cards, her wand

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

Nothing, as far as she's concerned wizarding society isn't on the brink of destruction yet so nothing needs to change.

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

N/A she's an expansion character from Ilvermorny

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!)

Carmella is the stereotypical 'dark horse' in human form. She's not always victorious, because no one ever is, when she comes out on top it's usually when it was the least expected. She doesn't ever put all of her cards on the table, she likes for people to assume things about based on what she's shown them or what weren't willing to see. She's excellent at bluffing and she loves reading people.

She doesn't exactly have much faith in other people, she knows she's the only person she can count on. She's taught herself that no one can disappoint her except for herself. Some might incorrectly say she's got low expectations, that she doesn't aim high on purpose. Nothing stands between her and what she wants. She's got a way of bouncing back from utter devastation that would make a neurosurgeon want to study the way her brain works.

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!)

Carmella is a Spanish Australian witch born in West Almond during the summer of 2020 Celyse Mitchell and Gregorio Andrade. Her mother Celyse was a Glamour Model, she was print ads in magazines and on websites but she's not a household name. She wasn't famous but Celyse's always thought she had the potential to start her own fashion empire. Her father Gregorio was a Bouncer/Stunt Man, he worked part time during the day and at night. He could've done more but he liked that his day life and his night life were separate even though it was all work.

She was quite possibly the rather unfortunate product of a one night stand, abstinence is foolproof. The resulting newborn was subsequently co-parented by two people who didn't even make an effort to be the family that their child deserved. With her mother Carmella was bombarded by the unrealistic and some might say unattainable standards of beauty and countless material possessions. With her father she was exposed to very real and very choreographed violence. Ivelisse thrived under the odd restrictions of her rather unconventional childhood regardless of the situation either of her parents left her in.

It happened the day before her eleventh birthday, she was stuck at her father's place. The crappy apartment above the all night diner next-door to the club he worked at. He wasn't supposed to be working that night, since it was the eve of her birthday and it was his turn to celebrate with her. He needed the money, he explained that. She understood, she hated being in his apartment and if he made more money maybe he could move to a nicer place. Maybe one that didn't have flies, roaches and rats. She discovered her magic when she was ten, she made a snow globe explode out of fear when a roach crawled onto her arm.

The following year she started at Ilvermorny after a bit of convincing that needed to be done with her narrow-minded parents. They didn't care for learning anything about wizardry beyond helping her along in her first few years. They literally left her on her own, by the age of fourteen she was fending for herself in the wizarding world. At home, in the muggle world they made sure she was provided for. At least to the best of their abilities. She knew she couldn't rely on them, she had learned to do things for herself a long time ago. Having them finally give her space was the first step towards getting away from them for good.

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!

Nicole Gale Anderson

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!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

Seventh

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)?
