6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. 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!)

'''Cross possess a vast amount of knowledge making him very intelligent. He knows every time of bird and many algebraic expressions. But that isn't what “excites” him. He loves Murder Mystery and Detective books and is inspired to become one in the future. Cross is very observant and can notice small details that can become crucial. He is punctual and can be a perfectionist at times. Everything needs to be spot on – if he gets one detail wrong in solving a mystery he can be annoyed with himself.

'''Many also think that Cross is strange and weird. It is believed that his “amount of knowledge” causes him to be different from other children. But unlike many, Cross embraces his “strangeness”. Cross also has a wide range of views that he expresses loudly which agitates many. At times, Cross often believes himself to be better than others and is easily a “show-off”. Although, Cross would prefer a different use of words than a “show-off”. However, he does express his views but is also secretive when dealing with a mystery. His thoughts and beliefs of a mystery are hidden until he feels the need to express his ideas. '''

'''Cross also finds it hard to make friends and never tries to make friends. He works on his own but secretly wishes for a “partner” like Sherlock Homes and John Watson. Cross also enjoys comparing himself to famous detectives believing to be as observant as Sherlock.'''

7) Write about the 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. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!)

'''Since an early age – Cross lived in an orphanage designed for “gifted” children. Whenever, you had a very high IQ or you were a talented dancer. Cross has no luck for the latter – but does have a high IQ for his age. Cross was very intelligent and so the head of the orphanage: Miss Peregrine decided to create a home for Cross in her gifted orphanage and so Cross eventually agreed to live there. '''

'''Cross had regarded the home to be peculiar. The children that lived there had extraordinary talents and different interests. Cross liked to watch the children preforming their talents but not once did Cross even say “Hello”. At a young age, Cross was shy and quiet. Preferring to stay in the darkness and watch. But Cross did like to explore and when Cross entered the library full of books with vast amounts of knowledge; he finally found something that he adored. Reading Detective Novels.

'''From reading Sherlock Homes to Hercule Poirot. Cross was reading and reading. As he read and read. He knew exactly what he wanting to be. A detective. One so famous that everyone knew his name. Since then, Cross has been solving mysteries again and again. He even tried to solve a murder case but Miss Peregrine regarded him as “too young” and refused him to solve murders. '''

''' Even so, Cross kept solving mysteries – his confidence built up but still hadn’t made a single friend in the orphanage. That was because the children thought he was a witch. Cross wasn’t too bothered by the “witch” calling but did recite the dictionary definition for “witch” as it referred to a female not a male but the children just snickered at him. '''

''' But Cross never understood why people called him a “witch”? Was it because he had far more knowledge than the rest of the children? Cross refused to believe in “sorcery” or “witchcraft” or “magic”. But he did believe that the impossible has a perfectly normal plausible explanation. That’s was Cross’ only mistake. Magic did exist and Miss Peregrine knew all about it. Cross displayed extraordinary talents in the world of magic. Sometimes Cross might have caused magical explosions or manage to change the colour of object. Miss Peregrine thought this might be a danger to have a wizard living in the orphanage so on Cross 11th birthday – Miss Peregrine told him all about the wizarding world and how she used to live there herself. '''

'''However, Cross still refused to believe in the wizarding world and refused to believe that he possessed magical abilities. He came up with theories for why this magic world wouldn’t exist. But Miss Peregrine shook her head and took him to Diagon Alley for proof. Even after receiving his wand, he still refused to believe. Miss Peregrine sighs and demands that he travels on the Hogwarts Express and so Cross does – learning about how the wizarding world indeed exists. '''

8) Write about your character's appearance. How 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!

'''Cross has blond hair with a fringe – although his hair is covered by a hat regularly. He has light green eyes. He is described as being tall and likes to dress in old gentleman-like clothes. This includes a suit and a top hat. Many believe his appearance to be strange like his personality but Cross doesn’t fully understand why. '''

9) 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!)

'''Cross' Blood Status is unknown - but for now I will say that he is a Pure-Blood but Cross doesn't know that.

10) 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 likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!)

'''Cross possess photographic memory. ((I'm not sure if this counts as "exotic"?))

11) What year is your character in? If your character is a first year or a transfer, would you like them to be part of the Sorting Ceremony? (This would mean not receiving your house until the RPed ceremony.)

Cross is a First Year and will not take part in the Sorting Ceremony.
