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!)

Sometimes Yuri is a party animal. Other times, he's a sleep 24/7 type of person.

Yuri is restless, cheerful, and friendly. He's a always on the go person, and loves to be free. No matter how dark the circumstances are, he's extremely optimistic about everything and anything, and has a lot of faith in other people. He'll easily show you the bright side of things. Very much the type of person that in a sticky situation, will be the one to say, "Hey, at least we're not in (other bad situation)."

He tends to be a dreamy person, and sometimes, not in touch with reality at all. However, he's able to put himself in other people's shoes and is very understanding. Yuri is soft-hearted and sweet like sugar, and maybe relies a lot on his intuition, which sometimes gets him into trouble. But at least he's understanding, and never indifferent to your feelings, right?

Yuri's dreaminess leads him to have Very Big Ideas. He is usually excited to share these ideas, and other people may doubt, but he is optimistic in achieving them, but doesn't really pay attention to details, only noticing later that maybe he should've done this or that. He's super enthusiastic and very much not boring.

Yuri tends to get attention, whether it's because he's being too loud, or that he's well, handsome. He's self-aware of himself and although you might not expect it, he's body-conscious as well. Sometimes he makes very rash decisions and the fallout of them usually mean temper tantrums. Sometimes a diva, always a star of the show.

Even if the whole world is raining down on him, he is determined to do anything. If he's not throwing tantrums, his anger is expressed coolly with good self-control, along with strong desires. And sometimes, he may even seem cold. But at the end of the day, Yuri is reasonable, and if you show enough reason to, will stay at your side no matter what.

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!) Yuri Yurievich Chernenkov was born on September 27, 2015 at 7:46 pm in St. Petersburg, Russia. "You know that typical story where the shy girl falls in love with the popular guy in school. That was my mom. Except that my dad actually fell in love with my dad mom (ahh ignore that please). My mom joined the school newspaper in her fifth year, to try to impress Dad. Dad didn't care about the school newspaper, but it didn't matter to her, because she had found what she had wanted to do. And she got the last laugh, because she ended up interviewing dad a few years later. And voila! They got married after two years of dating. They had a lot of love for each other. It showed in the number of children they had. First me, then Irina (sadly - just kidding, I still love her), Maria (absolutely lovely), Sofiya (feels the need to be just like Irina), and Anna (an actual cinnamon roll, too pure for this world). When I was born, it seemed that everyone thought (and still do) that although my hair and eye color were my mom's, I still somehow looked like my dad. That's why I'm Yuri, after my father. We don't see it at all. But I'm Yuri anyway. Well, depends on where I am. At school, I am Yuri. With my cousins, I'm Yura. Around family friends, I'm Yurievich - son of Yuri. Around my family? Yurochka. However, to me, I'm Yuri. I remember when I was about eight, and we went to a Christmas party for #purebloodsonly. Some random lady came up to my parents and told them that us children were simply delightful and that she would love to have children like us, while she rolled her eyes at her own children. Me and my sisters were just smiling and nodding. Irina bragged about that later, and my dad just told her that in public, we were just like that, but at home, we were truly hell, but in a good way. We kept the family estate loud and lively, but I feel that it was in a good way. Any bad things you hear? It's probably Irina. That reminds me...that Christmas was also the one where I discovered my magical powers. Dad thought it was a good idea to get a huge Christmas tree. No, seriously, it was huge. Around 20 feet, but given the size of our hall, it was nothing. It was supposed to be a present for us, since we had been so well behaved, and we were able to decorate it as well. Not a good idea at all. Me and Irina ended up fighting, and I swear it wasn't my fault that she was now at the top of the tree. Needless to say, we got banned from the tree. When it came to me to go to school, my parents wanted me to be around other children from other countries, so I went to the International Academy of Magic. I spent my first three years doing well, Yuri things. I got a close group of friends, tried my best in schoolwork, and well, I've got killer looks apparently, but feelings were never returned since I had other things on my mind. My mom died when I was in third year. Apparently she got some muggle illness and they didn't catch it until it was too late. I..don't like talking about it, so I think it's better to move on. But I will say that even now she's still in my heart and mind and there are times that I miss having a mom. That is all, let's move on. For my fourth year, I moved to Durmstrang. Is it a dark school? Yes, they still insist on using torches everywhere. I'll be real honest with you though: the people there are shady. Almost like they've been taught to be a criminal since birth. I guess it's a nice school, but I needed a new change of scenery. And that's why I am here, in Scotland, ready to be at my third wizarding school for my sixth year. This is supposed to be the best school in the world, and judging by the food, it probably is.

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! Yuri has his mother's coloring, with brown hair and brown eyes, yet somehow, everyone likes to say that he resembles his father. He stands at 181 cm, and sometimes looks very stoic. He's been told many times that he's very handsome. He's rather shy about his looks, but it seems that no matter what he does, he stands out from the crowd, which is something he does not want. His model is Simon Nessman.

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!) Pure-Blood

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!) N/A

6) What year is your character in? 6th Year
