Forum:Paisley Holmes (2)

Hi! This is a little weird. I want to rewrite Paisley Holmes as a non-ghost. So this is what I'm doing.

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.

Paisley is a determined soul, so the desire to get what she wants, she does. Her strength would be that. At least, she considers it her strength. She thinks, her anti-social behavior is a weakness, The fact that she spends most of her time with ghosts doesn't help her social life.

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?

Her life has been great. She's managed to do more than she ever thought she would

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

She likes scaring people. Especially Chase. She's good at it, having gotten a few ghost friends to help out.

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

Her favored possession is her home. If anyone took that, she'd be devastated.

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

She wishes ghosts had more rights. Paisley also hopes that people stop stigmatising them. They're not all bad!

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!)

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!)

The thing about ghosts, is that they have a sense of sadness about them. Since Paisley had been around ghosts most of her life, an occasional existential crisi comes out on her - Does she have a purpose? Will she become a ghost? If and when she does, will she be stuck with her family? No, she feels like she'd have one sole reason to keep an earthly tie after her time. Paisley is a workaholic. She loves her job, she loves helping out her ghostly friends, and she feels like her job will never actually be done. But that's okay. She likes where she is. If she had to do it for eternity... Paisley isn't sure what she'd feel about that.

Paisley has a dark sense of humour which mostly comes out in self-deprecating jokes, mostly about her being a ghost, but can also come out in the way she enjoys scaring people. Overall, she's a funloving person who just happens to be unable to move on. Sometimes her normal careless self comes out. She's a sweet, innocent soul who believes everyone deserves a chance. She loves animals, and she loves helping people. Paisley is one of those people who believe in the best of people, and even after her death she's unable to shake that part of her off.

Paisley thanks the Gods for her current position in the minstry. Paisley loves her family -- of ghosts, and of living creatures alike. She hopes she never has to leave the situation. Despite her occasional spouts of self-pity, as everyone sees her as the weird chick who sees ghosts - Though not in the sense most people think... Paisley is a lonely person. That is the sad truth. But she hopes it never deters her, now that she's where she belongs.

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!)

Muggleborn

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!)

Nope

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?

I'm hoping she'll keep her position as head of the spirits divison in DRaCMaC.

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!

Model is Allison Harvard
