Forum:Vendela Eurén

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: bold, loyal, a bit badass, extrovert, energetic, optimist, rebellious, quite a daredevil  Weaknesses: impulsive, reckless, loud, sometimes rude, holds grudges, disobedient, quick to judge, risk-taker (that can also be a strength)

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? Vendela has one goal, and that's to find her father and have her revenge. She still hasn't forgotten about what he did to her- how could anyone forget that? She hopes that one day he'll get what he deserves. And she wants to be the one that gives it to him.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? She likes spending days actively, with other people, so either parties or just working on a graffiti.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? Her wand, her favourite spray paint (deep red), multitool, mp3 player, a photo with her sister

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? With magic, they could really do more about child abuse. Vendela doesn't want anyone to experience what she and Valdis did.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? Gryffindor would be awesome (and probably quite fitting). Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are boring.

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!) (done from Vendela's pov) I’m an ESFP. Or at least so they say. True, I love being around people. I die when I’m alone. Good thing I have my sister. Don’t let her fool you, I’m the older one. Back on track, someone once told me I have ADHD. Maybe. If it’s cool, and it must be, ‘cause none of my traits could possibly be lame, then I’m okay with it. Oh, so probs that’s why I keep changing the subject! Yas, I got an explanation… Ugh, I’m doing it again, aren’t I?  '''Valdis says I’m too impulsive, too reckless. But come on, life was made to be fun! Nothing can stop me from taking chances. Just try to stop me from anything, you’ll regret it, you got it. And don't you dare mention that wall I painted on. Wait, which wall? There were lots. Way better than canvas.'''

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!) It was a rather late night in a hospital in Kristianstad, yet the silence wouldn't last forever. Mere minutes before midnight, the rather unexpected cry of a little baby girl broke the peaceful silence. And yet, it was followed just minutes later by another. Their names? Valdis and Vendela Eurén. But neither Valdis nor Vendela could know, this shouldn't have happened. They shouldn't have been born. They never knew that their father never wanted this of all things. 

'''So when I was like five, my parents got divorced. I didn’t understand why back then. But now, when I think about that, it was always coming. We weren’t supposed to be at all. Mum got over that. Dad didn’t.  Me and my sister, twin sister, actually, Valdis, had no idea about everything that was going on whatsoever. Suddenly the whole little world we had- you know, mum, dad, the two of us, always together and sh!t like that, was basically smashed to pieces. We weren’t sure if anything at all was stable, believable et cetera. Ugh.  And my dad got full custody on us. I didn’t know why, but I didn’t like that. Maybe it was because I saw mum crying for the first time when she came to say goodbye. No idea, honestly. But I had a bad feeling about this (get the reference? never mind). We stayed at home, she left. It was just weird and empty for a couple of days. Like two weeks, or something. No, less. Anyway, then things got bad. We got to know why mum left. I think I’ll just describe it like people usually do. So there you go: child abuse.  He treated us like trash. One day we were nonexistent, no need for food and all, the second we were perfect for punching bags. I remember that one time I got some ice from the freezer. It helped, but he must have noticed, he broke a bottle there later. Or maybe he was just drunk. I’m not even sure if he liked to drink, dope or anything. Kids don’t get such things. If I were there now, I’d kill him. I wonder if Valdis wants revenge too. We never talked about him that way. Only the frightened way. Oh, one day he’ll pay for it all.  And then I discovered art. Being identical isn’t easy, and it was the very least of my problems. Valdis writes all the time, she says it helps. I have an escape too. It’s painting. And what I like best is graffiti. Since I was little, fences, rules and all that crap seemed like… how to put it… like an opportunity. To prove something, you know. Whatever. Okay, so where was I? Child abuse. Art. Got it. Dad became more and more angry, and everything got worse. Not gonna describe it, stuff still gives me nightmares. But hey, no rape has ever happened in my life! That’s good! …Right?  Then we finally discovered why: we were to be saved. By mum, who made an epic entrance, movie style. Or better. She got us out, she got custody after a long long battle we had no idea about. Boom.  And we moved out with her, and seriously, she seemed like a superhero to me at the time. First thing I did after we got home- to our new home, I mean, in England, so that we had a chance to live a normal life far from our father- was painting her portrait. Obviously it was awful.  And then came our first magic signs! I remember Valdis made one of my paintings move. That was awesome. I think mine was something with a levitating glass of milk, which may have spilt onto mum's head. Heh.''' '''We were born in September, so we were the oldest in our first year at Hogwarts. Sure felt 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! The model's Sophie Turner (shared with Soph, permission granted)

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. Her twin, Valdis Eurén, is soon to be put up for sorting.

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!) Not exotic.

6) What year is your character in? 2nd year
