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.


 * Her strengths are her ability to converse - she can keep a conversation going for years - and her intelligence. Her weaknesses would be her narcissism and her lack of empathy.

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?


 * She wants to be world-famous, whether that be good or bad, because her childhood has taught her that popularity is everything.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?


 * By the lake with her headphones in and a face pack on.

 * Her fake tarot cards, her glasses, her wardrobe, her school books and a photo of her family.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?

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!)

She may look like butter-wouldn't-melt, but unfortunately, a childhood in the limelight has caused Imogen to believe that it's where she permanently belongs. It isn't total narcissism, but there is certainly a superiority complex woven into her fabric and it causes her to be incredibly picky when choosing her close circle. She isn't the greatest friend in the world, in all honesty: she never replies to owls, she gossips and talks behind backs and when she gets angry, the people closest to her are the ones she takes it out on. However, she does have some good social qualities - she gives incredible advice, due to the smart head on her shoulders, and she will keep your secrets if you mean enough to her. She isn't totally the type to throw you under the bus, but it's definitely something she'd consider.

Popularity is essential for Imogen to function. Years of being adored has left her with a pretty serious hunger for attention, or at least for someone to let her know that somebody gives a damn about her. She's a pretty big deal on Witchagram but online friends are just a number, so in order to at least gain admirers in real life, Imogen is a very good talker. The girl can talk for England, about anything and everything, and if she can sense any sort of spark of chemistry then there's no way she'll let you escape the conversation before it's over. If you can't tell, she's very headstrong. She sure as hell isn't boring - why should other people be?

There's something you'll quickly learn about Imogen as you get to know her: she enjoys toying with people. She's not exactly Machiavellian but she does find amusement in causing bother, whether that be jinxing or spreading rumours or - her personal favourite - delivering false prophecies. People seem to believe anything if you tell them you're gifted. More than once, Imogen has told people fake visions she's seen to get them a bit flustered. It really is quite funny.

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's probably obvious from Imogen's entire look and demeanor that fashion played a pretty massive role in her history. France is, as some would argue, the home of such an industry, and it's where Marie Legarde owned one of the biggest Wizarding fashion brands in the world. It was adored country-wide, hailed for being both on-trend and of impeccable quality, if a little on the pricey side. Still, no amount of money could buy happiness, and Marie found that out in the summer of one particularly busy year when she came across Robert Greene, a humble magician on the search for a wedding suit. God bless irony.

He found his wedding suit, and wore it three years later when marrying Marie. Their first and only child came along a year afterwards in the form of Imogen, a six-pound bundle of joy with the most beautiful eyes, the type usually reserved for dolls. Of course, such beauty cannot go wasted in the fashion industry: before she could walk, Imogen was modelling. Baby outfits, toddler boots, young child coats - it was endless. She swiftly became the face of her mother's brand and before long, she was the most well-known face of child modelling in France, both for wizarding and Muggle fashion. She was kept on a strict diet and was not allowed to wear trousers, due to their "unladylike quality". Such control left her with a superiority complex and a narcissistic streak, but it also left her with a yearning for a normal childhood.

Weirdly, Imogen's Seer qualities became known to her long before her wizarding ones did: in fact, she's been seeing visions since she was a baby. At first she thought they were dreams, but then she began seeing car crashes in school, seeing family deaths at the dinner table. She even saw the collapse of her mother's business coming - she was reading at the time.

Imogen didn't really understand the ins and outs of the decline, she was too young. Lots of stocks and shares and squiggly lines on graphs; apparently Gringotts suffered a bit of a wobble and before they knew it, the Greenes were out-of-pocket, the head of a failing fashion industry and owing debt on their Calais penthouse.

That triggered to move to England, to a shitty little cottage up north in the middle of nowhere, where the air smelt like cow muck and it was three-quarters-of-an-hour to the nearest town. Imogen was, more than anything, angry: and it shone through on her tenth birthday, when she tore up her wardrobe without laying a finger on the scissors. Her father heard the screaming and rushed in to find his child sitting amongst a confetti of designer fabric shreds, shaking with fury. Maybe this is where the attitude problems really started.

Hogwarts owled a year later, dropping the parchment right into Imogen's lap. She does enjoy school, having found a new passion for Herbology, but she knows she's going to go straight into the fashion industry after graduation. Maybe she'll open her own makeup line. Who knows?

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!

Despite the innocent girl-next-door image that Imogen likes to project through the help of fake-lens glasses and skater skirts, there's a devilish glint in her eyes that shines through, no matter how much mascara she's wearing. Her natural beauty is undebatable; she's lucky enough to have flawless skin and a petite frame, standing at only 5'5" in heels. She's good at makeup, but often veers away from caking it on, though pink lipstick is a must.

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!) Pureblood

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!)

Seer

6) What year is your character in?

Fifth
