Forum:Demelza Windsor

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.

+ Daring, resourceful, free-spirited

- Easily bored, stubborn, has a rebellious side to her

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?

'''Demelza wants to be free, to see the world, experience new things. She doesn't even need a life partner.'''

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

'''Exploring some new place. Doesn't have to be very exotic, just somewhere she hasn't seen before.'''

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

Wand, a little money, some clothes, leather bag (practical reasons), Holyhead Harpies poster (because she can).

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

'''Throw the whole 'royal etiquette' stuff out of the window. Good riddance.'''

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?

No preferences here, really, although Hufflepuff does seem dull.

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!)

'''What matters most to Demelza is her freedom. And that certainly doesn't make her life as a royal easier. She considers herself lucky not being a candidate for the throne (as her chances of becoming Queen are even smaller than those of the Chudley Cannons winning the British and Irish Quidditch League). Independent and stubborn, she's always struggling to find common ground with her strict parents. Also, even though she loves her siblings she's often slightly annoyed by the sweet, 'perfect' Quinn.'''

'''Demelza's biggest and pretty much only dream is to see as much of the world as she can. Whenever there is a chance to travel, she will be surely trying to convince her parents to go. Ever since she was little, she's enjoyed exploring. Usually, she embarks on her adventures alone, occasionally taking her brother with her. She's very curious about Muggle survival techniques, too.'''

'''Her relationships with the other royal children are fairly good. Although she doesn't have much in common with any of them, they share their fate. The fate of the royals. Always in the spotlight, never truly free. And sticking together helps them survive it a lot. At least it helps Demelza, as the others seem to be absolutely okay with their responsibilities.'''

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!)

'''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.'''

'''The Queen's fourth son, George, early in his life turned out to be much more shy than his siblings. During his time at Hogwarts, he met his absolute opposite, Theodora Fawley. He seemed even more meek and quiet compared to her being always the one in charge. The two were paired up to work together in class, and even though she visibly hated him, George fell for her quickly. Time passed and, to the surprise of many, they became friends, started a relationship and, in the end, got married.'''

'''Their eldest daughter, Demelza, was clearly born in the wrong family. Her parents weren't exactly tolerant when it came to their children. Unfortunately, ever since her childhood, she proved to be a tough nut to crack. She liked to explore her surroundings rather than sit quietly sipping her tea. Luckily for her, she had two younger siblings and wasn't the only one George and Theodora had to focus on.'''

'''When the time has come for Demelza to attend Hogwarts, all she felt was relief. Not only could she see a completely new part of the country, there were countless other benefits from school. At last she wouldn't be watched all the time. At last she was able to make some friends. She started a completely new chapter in her life.'''

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!

Her fc is Saoirse Ronan.

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!)

She's a Pure-Blood member of the Magical British Royal Family.

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!)

Nope.

6) What year is your character in?

2nd
