The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Persi is a passionate soul, verging on stubborn. When she has her mind on something, she sticks to it, and hates being corrected. Whether it be about animals or people, her compassion stretches out for everyone - Even the worst kind of people. She may even be considered a bit naive to some. But, she wants to spread positivity in the world, and what better way than giving charity. Her altruistic nature does come with faults, though. Like for one, she knows she's better than people. She tries not to show it too often, but feeling pity for those who do not have as much as her, it comes out more often than not.

Persi is a motherly soul, especially towards animals and young children. She often brings home 'strays', both human and animal, and offers a home to them. Clearly, she is better suited to taking care of animals than people, though. Animals also seem to take a liking to her, as well. While it seems like she can 'talk' to animals, and understand them perfectly, she's fairly awkward with humans, often saying the wrong thing and rarely thinking of their feelings. But she really, truly, does try her best.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each. During the reign of William III & Mary II in 1692 the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was signed, separating the lives of the magical and the muggles. The reign of the muggle royal family over the magical population of Britain - and later the United Kindgom - was largely undisturbed; both British societies observed the same monarch until the pure-blooded of the magical society began demanding detachment. From what started as being general discontent grew into violent actions with a magical civil war approaching over the horizon. In a stroke of luck that avoided turmoil, the ruling King George III had a magical daughter hidden from the muggle society. This daughter, Princess Charlotte, was quickly installed as the monarch of the magical society of Britain - an act which finally separated the two.

The arrangement worked out perfectly for both societies; whilst both monarchies were separate, the two worked closely to ensure similar values were shared and upheld. When the muggle monarchy changed their house name to Windsor, the magical monarchy followed suit. Everything was harmonious until the ascension of King Henry II. A monarch who wanted to devolve the power of the Ministry itself, Henry became tyrannous early on in his reign. Turmoil that threatened to overthrow the monarchy rose again, saved only by the forced abdication of Henry and the replacement by his eldest daughter, Victoria.

Proving to be the saving grace of House Windsor, Queen Victoria remedied her father's mistakes. She appealed to all crowds of magical life; advocating for no discrimination for species, being proud enough of her pure-blooded heritage to satisfy those who cared whilst remaining completely relatable for all. Her reign, still going strong, has remained among the most harmonious and popular since the magical monarchy's establishment.

Persimmon Isolde was the second born of Mary and Cornelius. Because of her duties, she was often held away from her siblings in favor of doing more 'princessy' things. Being taught etiquette and proper manners was what her life was taken up with for quite a while there. But she didn't mind. After all, she had a life of love and luxury - Others were not as fortunate.

Persimmon began going by 'Persi' around age eight. She had actually made quite the declaration at the dinner table one night. Her sister, Elenore, refused to call her Persi, but as Persi began to get a bit more irritated, moment by moment, Elenore would be stuck hiccuping the word 'Persi', and was stuck like that for quite a few days! Soon, it had gotten fixed, but it was the most amusing thing to the young Princess Persi.

Growing up, Persi was never very close with her siblings. While she loved her family, she always felt like something was missing. Until fifth year, she had spent most of the time either studying, or taking care of her horses - Which had become her favorite past time. Persi had such a love for animals, that she even brought home stray cats and dogs, much to the annoyance of her family. Eventually she had to sneak them in. But she also didn't want to just leave them. Persi's room slowly began to look like a barnhouse, and it wasn't long until she had been forced to give her animals their own space on the grounds of Linlithgow palace. The Barn in the castle is now home to 7 dogs, 5 cats, a raven, a dove, and a horse.

Persi, on the other hand, was forced to start school at Hogwarts with her siblings that year. Admittedly, it could have been worse for her. Persi made quite a lot of friends, both animal and human. She had gotten sorted into Hufflepuff, and she thrived for three years, until she had graduated. Once she graduated, Persi made it a point to travel home and immediately begin caring for her animals once more. Now 24, Persi spends most of her days in the barn hanging out with her animals, or at work, in the Di Salvataggio department of the DRaCMaC
