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.

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?

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

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?

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

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!)

'''Audrick is the one Schmidt nobody knew about - imagine the scandal that sprung when he was discovered. He was the one child given up for adoption, the one that despite it all, still knew whose kid he was, but kept his distance. The one that lived with insecurities plaguing him. The one that never approached his family, but rather was approached by his own niece with the intentions of reuniting.'''

'''Audrick rose to fame as a Quidditch player, snatched up by the Quiberon Quafflepunchers the moment he graduated from Beauxbatons with his adopted siblings. He was a keeper, and most definitely one of the best there were. He went on to play Quidditch for years, with a brilliant team supporting him. Among those players was French beauty Lucinde Dubois.'''

'''Lucinde was a woman with brains, beauty and strength. She was one of the Quafflepunchers' beaters, but she aspired to enter the world of politics before it was too late. And that she did. Audrick's career in quidditch grew to an international level when he was picked up by the French National Team, whilst his girlfriend Lucinde moved on to a political career when she found out she was expecting her first child.'''

'''Not wanting birth a child without being married, Audrick was quick to propose. He'd never been in a long-term relationship before Lucinde, so it was quite surprising when the news of their engagement broke out. Audrick was often contrasted to his long lost siblings, mostly because of his surname. There were jokes and theories that he was related to the legendary Derrick Schmidt and, though it wasn't the truth, he was quick to debunk them.'''

'''They were wed two months before their firstborn was welcomed into the world. It was a boy, but he wasn't the only child Audrick and Lucinde had. It seemed as though having too many kids to count was a habit of the Schmidts', because after Marco Schmidt followed many more children. They had a problem using contraception, it seemed.'''

'''Gretel was one of those children. Although, mind you, she was among the earlier kids, versus the ones that came later on. Quite honestly, she appreciated it. The house didn't feel so full, which was good for Gretel, because well... later in life she'll find out that she just does not like crowds. '''

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!)

3) Are you 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.

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

Nothing special.

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Beater for the Holyhead Harpies.

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Single, not looking.

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!

Her model is Lucy Hale.
