Forum:Karen Savatier

Please put ~ here.

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

+ strong, ambitious, loyal, trustworthy - demanding, somewhat short-tempered

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

'''Karen's just 19 and she's already managed to get herself and her mother out of poverty, so... yes.'''

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

'''Playing sports would be nice. Or just hanging out with people she cares about.'''

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

'''Some money is honestly enough. She's learned not to get attached to possessions.'''

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

Karen feels like crimefighting could be more efficitent than it is.

The Character's Background

1) Give a 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. (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!)

'''Louise Owen was just seventeen years old when she decided to see more of the world and spend her last year of education as an exchange student at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Raised in a Muggle orphanage, the girl wouldn't normally be able to afford such an experience. However, her grades were beyond remarkable, so it was arranged for all expenses of her travel to be paid. It was supposed to be the time of her life, one last crazy year before a stable future. But what the poor girl didn't know was that it would soon turn out to be too crazy for that.'''

'''Lou had a blast at the French wizarding school. A new environment, new people... She loved pretty much everything there. But nothing could compare to a certain someone whom she had met. And that someone was her fellow student and Papillonlisse housemate, Auguste Savatier. The two's realtionship was short yet passionate, ended abruptly just a few days before graduation. The reason? Lou's newly discovered pregnancy.'''

'''Her wonderful adventure turned into a nightmare all of a sudden. Pregnant eighteen-year-olds aren't very welcome in any society, including the wzarding one. The heartbroken teenager was left alone, with no relatives or basically anyone. With only nine months to find a way to live in acceptable conditions, she started work in a very shady Lyon cafe. Trying not to think about what kind of business deals were made there, she hoped to earn enough to move out of her rented room (bedbugs!).'''

'''Finally living in a one-bedroom apartment, she gave birth to a daughter by the name Karen Savatier. Lou wanted her child to have her father's surname, even though they were never married. Little Karen was her pride and joy, her bedrock, the ray of light in her not-so-happy world. At times mistaked for sisters, they spent lots of their free time together. An extremely strong bond formed between them, as strong as a mother and daughter can have.'''

'''They were separated when the time had come for Karen to attend Beauxbatons. Strong and loyal, she was sorted into the house of Bellefeuille. Having inherited her mother's learning abilities, she soon became one of her year's top students. After graduation, she achieved her goal: to get a good job and get her mother out of poverty. Very soon, they both decided to go back to their roots and moved to London.'''

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)

'''Karen's chilhood wasn't the easiest. The poverty made her future feel uncertain. Obviously, what both she and her mother needed was inner strength. And Karen had developed lots of it inside her. She never stopped believing that everything will get better in the end. Her mom wasn't nearly as hopeful, so Karen had felt protective of her since she was a teenager. She was the bedrock in their small family, helping her mother survive her daily struggle.'''

'''At school, she soon became known not only because of her remarkable grades, but also hard work. Karen knows how to put every minute of her time to good purpose. Remembering her mother Lou's story, she doesn't risk wasting any opportunities. After every fall, she stand up and tries again until she succeeds. Despite her ambitious attitude, she's a sociable and generally likeable person. She likes making people believe in themselves. Karen being trustworthy, loyal and responsible makes her good friend material.'''

'''However, what she values most isn't friends or even family. It's justice. Karen couldn't ever stand by and watch someone being treated unfairly. Instead, she's always tried to fight for what's right. She's not naive, she can see that the law doesn't necessarily work the way it should. That's why she began thinking of taking matters in her own hands.'''

3) 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!)

'''Pure-Blood. No notable relations.'''

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

N/A

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Karen's just moved to England and is currently looking for a job.

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Single

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!

Her fc is Freya Mavor.
