The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer. + Optimistic, Strong, Determined - Naive, Over-Emotional. 

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not? So far yes, Tris has had a good adult life save for her accident. But she knows she'll jump back on her feet and it'll be like nothing has changed. 

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Tris loves to bake and would spend a whole day making cakes and cookies and pastries and pies and just seeing what she could come up with and gathering up recipes and the like. 

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? 1. Her wand 2. The bracelet her brother made 3. Pair of onyx earrings her father bought her as a child

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Tris wishes there was more communication between the different societies within the wizarding world, instead of each place almost being isolated from the rest. 

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (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!)

'''Tris was born on October 17th to a wealthy couple in Cairo, Egypt. She was the third child out of 5 total, and the 3rd girl having two younger brothers later on. Growing up in her household wasn't what some would call ideal, but at the same 'time' they made it work. Her parents were always gone and working, leaving the children to be raised by 'nanny's' or themselves. From a young 'age' Tris always tried to get her parents attention 'anyway' she could, even if that meant breaking things or getting into trouble.'''

'''Her first signs of magic appeared when she was 7 years old and trying to get her father to listen to her during dinner. He was on the phone clearly ignoring the rest of the family, and Tris got so upset that she made his soup explode all over him. That caused her to get yelled at and sent to her room with a nanny, and Tris cried all night that night.'''

'''It wasn't until she was sent to Uagadou that she realized that she had to start living for herself and not for the pleasure or attention of others, no matter how much that hurt her. Throughout her school experience she grew distant from her family and by the time her two older sisters graduated Uagadou, she had no idea where they went or that they had even graduated until she heard from her parents.'''

'''Tris was close with her youngest brother, Bast, and was the only family member that she spoke to and had relations with. He was really the only reason she went back home during the summer and holiday breaks. She didn't even see her parents as 'family' or the rest of her siblings, her family 'were' just acquaintances to her and she grew to accept that nothing would change.'''

'''When she graduated from Uagadou, she immediately went to become an Auror. It took three years before she was able to pass and be officially accepted as an Auror, and she finally felt that she had a place in the world and somewhere to belong. When she became an Auror her youngest brother, Bast, graduated from Uagadou and moved in with her since his parents had disowned him for being gay.'''

'''Life as an Auror was wonderful for Tris and she had a natural talent for it. While the other Aurors mostly wanted to go in with brute force, she was the one who reeled them back and tried to find a different approach to issues and problems. This was noticed by her superiors and it didn't take long for her to move up the ranks, but right before she could become head Auror she got in a horrible accident on a mission that left her in a coma.'''

'''She was in the coma for 6 months and Bast was the one paying bills and taking care of what needed to be done. When she came to the healers explained that she had to take a year off of being an Auror to heal and recover, and so they transferred her to London for rehabilitation.'''

'''Tris currently lives in London, England with her brother Bast and is currently going through rehab to regain some lost abilities due to her injuries. It's been a long rocky road but she's starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.'''

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)

'''Tris is a bit of a goof-ball and has a lighthearted soul. She's always trying to stay optimistic and look on the bright side of things, which leads to her usually having a smile on her face or telling people that it'll all be okay or it's not that bad. It isn't that she's ignorant, it's just she doesn't let herself get into depressive/bad moods a lot and if she does she isn't in them for long.'''

'It takes a lot to make Tris mad or angry, and it takes a lot'' to make her furious. 'There's' very few things that can boil Tris up to the point of no return, and if someone manages to do that then they better run because Tris isn't going to hold anything back unless someone physically restrains her.'''

'''Tris is just a happy, fun-loving girl who wants to make the most out of her life and see what she can do and accomplish with the time that she's been given. She always tries to make people smile whenever she can, and never wants to cause emotional harm to someone. She knows how it feels to be beaten down and never wants someone to feel like that.'''
