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!)

Neema is wound really tight, she's an obvious perfectionist. An obsession with the most insignificant details being what can make her seem like she's absolutely bonkers. She can spend hours rearranging her many collections of books, or shells, or vials. No one, except her, is able to pinpoint the small change she made in her display case. She's fond of organization and labels, she prefers that everything have a specific place and what belongs in that designated area remain there.

She's never liked to get messy, even as a small child she cried when she got dirty. She's got much better control of her emotions now, she does still get upset when spills or explosions happen to close to her. She sometimes has a prissy attitude that doesn't always fit with her true nature. She's controlling, but she's also got a rebellious side to her that is attracted to danger. She's curious about everything that books can't tell 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!)

Neema was born in late 2006 to India Hammond and Devon Calder. Her mother was an Auror for the Burkinabé Ministry of Magic. India was forced into early retirement following an injury that almost took her life. Her father was a Potioneer turned Healer. Devon left the Calder family business so that he could pursue his passion. Her parents met while her mother was in recovery. Six years into therapy Devon and India were already expecting. The new parents chose Swahili/Egyptian names for their twins; Neema and Omari. Neema is the eldest, she is also her mother's only daughter. She had a purpose that her mother bestowed upon her at birth. India wanted her little to girl to become as fierce as she was. Her mother made her struggle for anything that she wanted. India did the same with her own daughter when the time came. Ensure every generation of woman would be more self-reliant than the last.

She was ten when she discovered her magic. Her father constantly encouraged her, being as supportive as he could. She was a late bloomer, something her mother consistently berated her for. She instantly became bitter thinking her younger brother was more powerful than her. Her animosity was never towards him, it was always directed at her mother. She wanted to prove that she was equal to her brother, possibly better than he was. He may have been bigger and stronger, what he wouldn't ever be was smarter. Already taking the tough love from her mother, Neema made her life a little harder by wanting to prove the negative criticism of her mother wrong. She read every book she could get her hands on. If she didn't understand it she read it until she did. She felt she doing what she needed to as anything she learned would make her a better protector.

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!

Layla Crawford

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!)

Half-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!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

Second

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

1) Is this your first character?

''':A. This is my first character.'''


 * B. No, this is not my first character.

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?
