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.
 * strengths: friendly, open to change, adventurous
 * weaknesses: rambunctious, reckless, interesting priorities

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?


 * Her one true goal is being able to say she lived and got through everything on her bucket list before she died; that she made many new friends and helped them along their journey, and that there is in the end nothing she'd have done differently. Travelling is her happiness; success or money is secondary to the kind of memories you can make with a photo book and a camera.

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


 * Levina would definitely spend any free time she had getting out of her comfort zone, out in the world with friends or family, finding a new experience to document and to smile over. Since she lost her parents (essentially), the thrill of moving to a new place has been her main distraction - and to find new places she's never been would only continue to detract from a deep void she will eventually notice.

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


 * Most of these are because she keeps them for travel.


 * 1)  Her camera - so she can keep and cherish pictures of her experiences.
 * 2)  Her travel diary - so she can write down things she never wants to forget.
 * 3)  Her owl - so she never has to lose contact with the friends she makes along her way.
 * 4)  Her wand - the thing that set off this great adventure she's living now.
 * 5)  Her suitcase - it's mostly material, but it's been places with her.

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


 * Maybe the fact that they're so secluded - Levina likes the idea of being able to help others with her magic. And if not that, she'd definitely use her change to make it easier to travel cross-continent by wizarding means, to satisfy her wanderlust-filled heart.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?
 * Levina would like to be in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, like her older cousins, but she doesn't really mind as long as it isn't Slytherin.

 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!)


 * Levina is eccentric, excitable, egregious  (just joking) and that's only the Es. The Cologne-born girl is an interesting character to put it gently; a girl who's been raised living out of cases in friends' penthouse apartments, on couches and on beds in middle-ground hotels. She's the kind of girl who becomes bored, disillusioned, uninspired easily and is always looking for something else, something better, something to be excited about. The kind of girl who is always looking for new friends who can carry her along her journey, laugh and cry with her, and most of all - teach her and show her things she's never seen before.


 * She's a curious spirit, and you know they say that curiosity killed the cat (and that might be true, if you know the story of her parents) but that won't stop the sheer w a n d e r l u s t that possesses her soul. If it's new it will excite her, but nothing excites her more than places and people. Culture and life is something that she takes to heart, she always wants to know how other people see the world. Why fit in when you were born to stand out? The fact that this magic has chosen her family means it's something she has to take advantage of.


 * Above all she's an artistic spirit - photos and painting and music, she clearly prefers that to most academics. Something that requires a creative mind will always be eternally more valuable to her than learning answers for a test paper. Levina does have the desire to meet and be liked by people, and she's always really eager to please and help others, or even show them things if they are so inclined. One of the few things the girl is bashful about is her talent for the arts - it might take a while for her to showcase these to you. The girl loves hard but after what happened she's eternally afraid of losing people.


 * The best way she can distract herself from doing that is being airy, and taking nothing all too seriously.

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!)


 * Her parents were the travelling sort. Young, eccentric, free - just out of school, so they wanted to do all the things they couldn't before. Possessed by a naivete that they would be together forever, "it'll always be me and him" or "it'll always be me and her". They met at school, rays of sunshine untarnished by reputation, and threw themselves out into the wide world of wanderlust as soon as they could. At no point did they consider settling, but neither did they consider the role of alcohol in changing their lives when they had a bit of an accident in a Canadian hotel. But, because they loved each other and were compassionate - they kept the child.


 * This grounded them for a while, but they had no intention of stopping, and as soon as their child was old enough to fly they were living out of cases once more with exotic friends or middle-ground hotels putting them up. They started a picture album which their daughter cherishes alongside an old Polaroid camera. Her first sign of magic saved them from being injured by an earthquake, but they thought nothing of it until they steadily got more and more...explosive.


 * They'd returned home to Cologne for a while so that their daughter could get a good education, but the young girl became bored quickly, and wanted to return to travelling. The resulting tantrum...didn't end so well, so to speak, and Levina was hastily taken in by a distant cousin who so happened to be of the same magical lineage. He worked for the German Ministry - hence how he found out - and while helping Levina continue her worldly travels, taught her about her magic and what it would mean for her later.


 * Levina has just about worked out that the more explosive results of her childhood tantrum ended in the loss of her parents, and she's trying to work around being weighted down by the guilt the realisation sparked. Her uncle, as such, as she called him - thought that maybe another change of scene before she went to wizarding school would help her - and thus, just before she recieved her Hogwarts letter, she moved to England. Receiving the letter confirmed what she already knew - and she's just hoping to make some good experiences, and good friends out of this new page.

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 Elle Fanning.

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!)


 * Muggle-Born

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?
 * First
