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. Eileen's strengths are that she is creative, witty, and friendly. She loves writing, whether it be songs or stories. She is filled with sarcasm, and sharp answers that often make her classates laugh. She tries to be friendly to everyone, but this is counteracted by her unwillingness to stick with friends. Her weaknesses are that she is riddled with anxiety and self-doubt. She will distance herself from others for fear that she will be made fun of, or make a fool of herself.

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? Eileen's most valued objective is to lead a long fullfilling life. She would like to be happy, yes, and for that it would come from seeing different places, helping others, and gaining as much knowledge as she can. She would like to live knowing she has done something good in life, that she hasn't been a failure as she so often tells herself.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Her ideal way of spending a free day would be to either lounge about, or explore. She would like to rest as school is often hard and tiring. Studying, exams, homework and essays drain the life out of many students, and she is no exception. However, exploring is an exciting prospect as she is confined to the Hogwarts grounds, and unless she runs away in summer, there won't be much else exciting in her life. Exploring would broaden her horizons, and help her see what she's been missing.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? My character would keep her wand, for protection and other magical purposes. She would keep a chest with an undetectable extension charm to fill with food, and a tent with the same charm. Eileen would also carry a bag for galleons. In case any of her other items fail, she should be able to go out and purchase another, or something to help with the situation. For her final item she would keep a journal, to document her days, write and remind herself of important activities.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? She would change the separation between schools. This separation gives none of the schools a chance to learn of other wizarding cultures, or a chance to gather new information. The only known time in the series where schools intermingled is the TriWizard Tournament, and it was only a fraction of available schools out there. If only they mingled, they could most definetly learn more, and not be in the dark about other wizarding ways.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? My character would love to be in Ravenclaw. Though she may not be the smartest, she certaintly fits into the other categories. She is creative as can be, witty - as shown by sarcastic remarks - accepting, and original. She does not want to be in Gryffindor. She thinks they are quite daft and brazen, and that they should think more before acting.

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!) Eileen is a very interesting girl. She absolutely adores writing, and you'll often find her scribbling words down in a journal. She is very kind, yet distances herself for fear of being talked about behind her back. However, if you make a true effort, she will open up and become your friend. Eileen also tends to give sarcastic answers to people - or the Ravenclaw eagle.

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!) Eileen was born to a witch and a muggle. Her mother was a Slytherin, although very kind. Her father was a determined man, and was supportive of the magic. She was kept in a very magical home, aware of all the tricks and charms out there, and her uncontrolled younger magic was also encouraged. The magic in her home slowly diminished as her father died of brain cancer. She and her mother fought quite often after that, and Eileen ended up locking herself in her room to her studies. Then she turned 11, and eager to get out of the house she was whisked away to Hogwarts, where she was further estranged by being sorted Ravenclaw.

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! Eileen has pale skin and hazel eyes. She is short, at 5'3" and is 15 years old. She has a bit of chub, and that being said her chest is quite... flat. She usually will wear a plain t-shirt and jeans when not in school uniform.

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, no noteworthy relations

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 special magical abilities

6) What year is your character in?

Fourth Year

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)?
