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!)

Being blind hasn't stopped her from trying to achieve her dreams, fortunately. In fact, it's only ever made her drive stronger. She never ever wants to be a burden on anybody. However, she knows that there are somethings that she just can't do on her own. So, instead of having her siblings help her all of the time, she learned to rely on two things, her cane and her working senses.

She is a very quiet and soft spoken girl. She hardly ever speaks her mind for fear of offending the person. Marie, to avoid those situations, keeps her mouth shut around those she doesn't know. This can make her a great listener. She's a very kind and caring soul when it comes down to it. however, though she'll never admit it to anybody, she's jealous of her sisters. They can see everything. Adriana gets so much love and affection from their parents. Isabelle always makes friends. Marie is in the middle. Unseen. Just like the world is for her.

Despite that, Marie is generally a very happy person. At least, that's what she likes to think. Marie is a thinker. She's very analytical and logical. She doesn't have the stereotypical cold exterior. No way Josie! She just likes to think about what could be out there. Can you blame her?

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!)

Juliane Beaufort was a young frenchwoman. She had grown up the daughter of a French fashion designer and lived her entire life in Paris, the home of the fashion capitol. It seemed that every day, Juliane was spending time working at her mother's workshop and acting as her PA... What she didn't expect was to meet Jacque Richelieu, a young man who lived out in the countryside. His family was known to the other families who lived around Paris as hermit-like. However, no one could predict the feelings that happened afterwards.

The longer Juliane and Jacques grew to know each other, she learned about their conversative values, such as no physical contact, excluding hand-holding until marriage, going to church on a daily and weekly basis, and trying to be the best servants they could to themselves and each other. Over the years, it was about 2010 when they started dating courting, and almost six years later, they married at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. It was easy to see their love for each other, and that continued for many years.

Four years later, they became parents to a set of triplets, all girls, ironically born right on Bastile Day, but it was easy to see their love for themselves and their daughters. This is the story of Marie Richelieu, the middle child.

Marie grew up loving her home in France. There was just a slight problem: she was born blind. What caused it you might ask. Well, her optic nerve didn't form quite right, making it impossible for her to ever see. Next question: How could she have loved France if she couldn't see a thing? Simple. Marie loves the sounds and smells of the air. Heck, even the feel. Yet, she was always happy despite her lack of sight.

One day, however, her sisters had left her behind in their excitement to go to the neighborhood park (Marie had been there so many times that she memorized how many steps it takes to get there). That's when some local boys decided to torment the blind girl. They ripped the cane out of her hands, started shoving her around. Typical bullying. Her sister, Isabelle and Adriana saw this and ran towards her though they weren't quite fast enough. Marie had somehow gotten her cane back in her hands and was right by her sisters. They quickly told their parents and they were shocked (rightfully so). Their daughters, Marie and Isabelle had started to do weird things. Like a vase miraculously fixing itself.

The next three years, their parents were cautious around their daughters. After all, they didn't exactly know what to do with them. That's when Julianne decided to move them all to England to start her fashion line. So, a ten year old Marie found herself in a brand new place and completely lost. Nothing felt familiar. Marie and her sisters soon received a letter telling them that they were la magie (magic) and that they were to attend a 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. Marie is really not looking forward for the new school year but she can't let her siblings know that. So, she's just going to wait out the year to see what happens.

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!

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!)

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!)

6) What year is your character in?
