The Character's Background

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

Joanna is naturally quiet. Quiet enough not to be heard, and most certainly, quiet enough not to say a thing. She's not one to draw attention to herself, to be frank, attention isn't a thing she really looks forward too having.

She's also nice, polite, and loving - a sweet girl, with a warm & caring temperament towards others when she's noticed by them, which is far in between. She loves her books above all else though, and will study books for ages, without noticing others. She loves knowledge, all things that can make her smarter, she'll take it. She believes in Evolution, and science, despite her religion, she's willing to ride things out even if they offend her - because knowledge sometimes is offensive.

She's also a charming friend, with a curiosity a mile wide and a sense of wonder to add on it, and she's also the kind of girl that someone can cry on, whenever they need it. She seeks knowledge, but isn't mean about it, no, she's rather kind about it. She's also a talented Pianist and is a capable singer - she loves singing Christmas songs in Polish, actually, and does it irrelevantly.

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.

oanna was born in Poland - to a struggling middle-class family, around Christmas, a sign which her father says is because God was watching over them - and why he worked so much harder from henthforce, even if he worked a shitty job. She was dubbed and blessed a Catholic shortly after her birth, due to her father no doubt, but he dubbed all of his children as Catholics from the very moment they were born.

Her childhood was at least comfortable - her father (a Muggle Born Dumstrang Student) - worked a secret job in the Polish Magical Government akin to what Mr. Weasely did in Britain a long time ago, and as a Muggle Born, he was actually extremely proficient at said Muggle de-enchanting, but since his wife was a pure and born Muggle, he was forced to keep up an appearance of going to another work - this being a Miner - and what an unfortunate career to have.

So; you see, he also kept his children uninformed about magic (what a hard, hard thing to do, poor man) even though all of his children showed clear signs of being magical - one way or another - he was forced to do this because of the treaty of Non Magics that disallow Muggles from knowing about the existence of magical folk. But anyhow, Joanna's mother was a Music Teacher at the local Muggle School nearby them, and since Joanna's father was always at work, Joanna spent alot of time with her, and gained an affinity for music during their time together.

How did they move to England? Well, because her parents struggled financially, like hard-core so, and because her father had a deep dislike of dark Magic, which is what Dumstrang taught. He wanted to get them away from that - and so off they went, to England, on their next great adventure, or so Norbert wanted. After they went to England, he got assigned to something else - not related to the current ugliness of the British Political system - within the British Government. He also was to act as a Polish Representative as well, which was a great honor for him, to say the least.

Well, her first sign of magic was, well, alot of tiny, small insignificant things, things one wouldn't notice really and there were several of such incidents. It was very surprising when she got her letter to Hogwarts to say the least, but she was furious to find out that her father had been hiding that big of a secret for years, to say she had a strong reaction is the underestimation of the century.

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! Kennedi Clements

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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!) Muggle Born

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

6) What year is your character in?

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


 * B. No, this is not my first character.

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs. 3 and none Exotic

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
