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. Raymundo is a very smart kid who's able to use his knowledge to his advantage. But at the same time this is also his weakness since a lot of people don't understand what he's talking about. It causes a lot of weird looks and sometimes it causes people to avoid him. 

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? Raymundo wants to finish Hogwarts and maybe become someone big and important. But at the moment his biggest concern is just getting through Hogwarts. 

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Raymundo loves to be out in nature since it lets him relax but also learn and experience new things. 

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? 1.His wand  2.His thought journal  (I can't think of anything else)

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Raymundo is too young to really think of anything to change about the wizarding society.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? Raymundo would like to be in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. But not Slytherin.

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!)

'''Ray is a pretty chill and relaxed guy, he's open to talking to people and he's quite the extrovert. He loves to be social and get to know people, and some people say that he just talks too much. He just can't help it though and doesn't realize how much he's actually talking until someone points it out.'''

'''He loves to figure out and learn about people and how people think and see things. A lot of people call him a mad scientist but he really isn't. He doesn't think about it in an obsessive or creepy way, just a curious way.'''

'''Since he read so much growing up he's learned probably too much for a child his age. He's learned a lot of big words that he uses out of context and sometimes just spits out facts that don't mean anything in the current situation. A lot of people think he's odd, but he just has so much knowledge in his brain that he wants to share it with everyone.'''

'''Overall he's just a really bubbly and energetic kid who wants to learn everything he can and share it with everyone he meets. He loves being social and out in the open and in the spotlight, and he works great under pressure. Though he understands social boundaries and tries to make sure that he doesn't overstep any lines.'''

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!)

'''Ray was born in Mexico to a simple middle class wizarding family. His parents weren't expecting to have any children and so when Ray came along they were thoroughly surprised a little shaken out of their routine. But they managed to make it work with the addition of Ray, and after some time figured out how to be a small little family.'''

'''Ray's parents lived with his grandparents when he was born, and for the most part of his childhood. Ray got used to being around people since his house always seemed to have someone visiting or a family gathering. He learned to talk a little early for his age and even walk early, his parents say it's because he just wanted to be social.'''

'''Despite Ray being an only child he felt like he never was, he had his cousins around all the time and played with the neighborhood children. He also never felt alone since he was always with his grandparents or one of his parents. His mother did work but it was only ironing clothes.'''

'''When Ray could start reading he just absorbed books and whatever he read. His brain was almost like a black hole yet everything that entered didn't disappear. He could learn things in an instant and apply what he learned in his life. His parents were surprised at how smart their son was, but for some reason it was like it only applied to when he read. Everything else was a struggle for him to learn and remember, especially if someone was just telling him how to do something.'''

'''Ray showed his first signs of magic when he was 7 and reading a book, he was getting so frustrated because he couldn't pronounce a word right that the word appeared in the air and it was sounded out to him. He was so surprised by this that he told his parents, who excitedly told their son it was magic and helped explain to him so he'd understand what they meant.'''

'''With the help of his parents and grandparents Ray learned how to take his knowledge and use it so it wouldn't overwhelm him after he had a mental breakdown since he couldn't concentrate or put his thoughts together. After they saw a specialist they learned that Ray had to use his knowledge to get it out or else it would be stuck in his head and cause distress and interference with his normal thoughts.'''

'''Because of this his parents were worried about sending him off to Hogwarts, mostly because they didn't want him to have a breakdown without them there to help. But when he received his Hogwarts letter they couldn't really do anything about it. They made sure to send a letter to the headmaster, just in case something were to happen and he'd be aware of how to handle it.'''

'''Eventually they sent Ray off to live with a relative in London for the summer before school started so he could get used to being on his own. Ray is currently hoping that his first year at Hogwarts is a good one and he at least makes a friend or two.'''
