Forum:Willow Disney

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.


 * + group-oriented, individualistic, resourceful, spontaneous, happy-go-lucky
 * - self-depricating, impulsive, insecure, disruptive, reckless

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 doesn't have any goals right now, other than to live life to the fullest.

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


 * She'd spend it with her mother, doing anything and everything. Or hanging out with her friends, if she had any.

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


 * Her mother. That's it. Her mother is all she needs in life, and she'll be set, because her mother literally thinks of everything and is really just the best. So.

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


 * She doesn't know enough about it to know what she'd change, honestly.

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


 * IC? She'd go by names. Ravenclaw sounds cool. She'd likely want Ravenclaw. OOC? I really don't want her in Hufflepuff. I already have one in her year. Please don't give her Hufflepuff. Literally anything except Hufflepuff. I know she seems like one, but please don't make her one. Remember the sorting hat. Embrace the sorting hat. Be the sorting hat.

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!)


 * A descendant of Walt Disney himself, Willow would be nothing without her 24/7, always happy persona. She's a literal ray of sunshine, believing that everyone is inherently good. She's a believer of second, third, fourth chances - it's who she is. She smiles through everything, laughs through life, and doesn't worry about tomorrow. She lives each day to the fullest and never looks back.


 * Willow is group-oriented. She works best when she's surrounded by other people, especially if it's by friends and family. She hates the feeling of loneliness, hates the silence, hates feelings of emptiness. At least when she's surrounded by people she loves, likes or at least tolerates, she's more herself, more in her environment. She feels like herself at most when she's got people to be with, people to hang out with, talk with, socialize with.


 * Willow is naturally smart. Not just street smart, but book smart. She reads something once - or skims over it, really - and she can take an exam on it and pass it with flying marks. It's a fact she and her mother are damn proud of, but not one she likes to flaunt around. It's why she prefers to call herself a closeted nerd. She'd rather live her life out recklessly, taking risks and doing what she wants, than being forced to sit and endure extra learning by the professors, just to live up to their expectations.


 * Above all, Willow values individuality. She's the kind of person that accepts you for who you are. Cautious, happy-go-lucky, smart, dumb, she doesn't care - she's just the kind of person to think that you deserve a chance to be who you are without fearing rejection or judgment. She loves being in a place so diverse, with people that have different sets of beliefs. She's full of warmth, always radiates happiness, and really the kind of girl you want to be friends with just because she gives a sense of comfort - like a childhood friend you didn't know you missed.


 * That said, Willow has always been insecure. Kids at primary always used to laugh at her, bully her, and tease her, and it latched onto her. Though she's always been open and carried her heart on her sleeve, its had an impact on her and not exactly the good kind. Though she's still the free-spirited, happy-go-lucky girl she's always been, Willow is slightly more wary of how she behaves. She's riddled with insecurities about herself, despite her never actually admitting to it. Living in front of the public eye has also had its effect on her.


 * Whenever she's away from the media, away from the world's prying eyes, Willow is more prone to acting rashly. She can be impulsive and act without thinking, but it's really only because the chances of her being able to do it are so few and far in between. She tends to be reckless, too, during those lapses of time - Lord knows she's gotten a few broken bones because of her need to feel the exhilaration and thrill of playing around and taking risks. She can also be disruptive, especially in class. She's been deemed the "class clown" in all her other schools, and she doesn't doubt it'll continue to be the case. She often cracks jokes in class and makes unnecessary remarks.

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!)


 * Diane and Sharon Disney weren't Walt Disney's only children. He had one more, but he was given up for adoption. He was born on 1938, the result of a night of passion, to celebrate the success of Snow White, which became the most successful motion picture of 1938. By May 1939, its total gross of $6.5 million made it the most successful sound film made to that date. With his growing success, however, the attention for another child just couldn't be spared. Thus, he was given up, though his parents were able to sign his birth certificate and give him a name. At the time, it was impossible for what would likely be considered the scandal of the year to get leaked, at least if they were careful. And careful they were.


 * Their son - named Humbert, after the Huntsman - was adopted at the age of seven, though he opted to retain his birth name, as was his right. Word never did get out of his existence, as he lived in a small, off-the-map town down in Idaho. He grew into a fine man, with his own wife and eventually his own children. He never became famous, never risked being found out about once he'd pieced together who he truly was, and instead resorted to getting an average job and becoming a John Doe in a country full of John Doe's. He passed on in 2029, at 91 years old. However, he did have kids, that inevitably had children. One of his daughter - Mae Sophia Disney - carried on the legacy.


 * Mae met a man at the young age of 17. He was a wizard, fresh out of Ilvermorny, and was backpacking across the country, doing some soul-searching. Their relationship was brief - a month, at most, when Mae graduated and joined him on his trip. It was a reckless decision, one that didn't have much thinking shoved into. The man - whom she always referred to as boots and not once asked for his name - started a very brief, very passionate relationship, but all flames burn out at some point, and the brighter the flame, the faster it burns.


 * Willow is the product of a badly made decision. Her father was absent, as he didn't stick around to find out about her, and she grew up with only her mother to guide her through life. However, when she was just six, news of Walt Disney's third child came to light, and the search for Humbert began. In the end, Humbert was discovered, as was his whole line. There wasn't a person alive who didn't know about this scandal. Willow was thus thrusted into the spotlight, without another choice.


 * She and her mother really stood out. Out of the entire Disney brood, they were the ones known for being so upbeat, so artistic, so individualistic, so different from everyone else. Mae's two younger sisters and younger brother all had important jobs, careers that would leave them with a big name in different arenas. Law, for instance, and medicine. But Mae was an artist - and a good one at that. She and Willow lived together in a loft, from which Mae sold her art. She made good money, but it was nothing compared to the money she got when news of her beginning to work for The Walt Disney Company.


 * When Willow was just ten, her mother got an offer she couldn't resist. Overseeing the expansion along with numerous other changes in Disneyland Paris. France. Willow and Mae, facing a brand new world, living in a country with a language neither understood but both yearned to. An offer that nobody could turn away from, Mae accepted, and Willow began attending school in France. To be honest, it was just as bad as it was in America. Back in America, she was teased for being the girl that had no friends even though she wanted to talk to everyone. In France, she was teased for being the outsider. There was no escaping the torment. She endured a year and a half of it, until she just couldn't handle it. The smile, the laughter, the pushing through - it led her nowhere, except to a big burst of accidental magic, in which she caused some machinery in Disneyland to stop functioning. Just days later, she received acceptance to Beauxbatons, due to her current location.


 * Willow didn't attend Beauxbatons. Instead, she was going to go off to Hogwarts, after a French official appeared and spoke things through with the skeptical Mae Disney. She had to talk about her options, about what it meant that magic was real and that her daughter had it. It seemed Willow was a late bloomer, but a bloomer nonetheless, and she had to lean how to harness it. Despite the late introduction to the world of magic, a still-shocked Willow Aurora Disney was set to begin her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With little knowledge on the school, other than the fact that it has 4 houses (one of which sounds really cool, because raven's claws), she isn't sure what she can expect.
