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!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer. Violet's grratest strength is, by far, her perception. Always observant, quiet, and understanding, she pays extreme attention and learns all she can about any given subject, whether a class or a person, making her a skilled student and a wonderful friend. In contrast to this, her fear of rejection and anger make it very hard for her to put these skills to use, at least in a social sense. Interaction, especially in groups, makes her a nervous wreck, and so to avoid the mess she finds it causes, Violet closes herself off, making her issues with others worse and worse.

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? Violet is a simple girl, just wanting a close group of friends, a stable career in the future, and a cute girl to raise a family with. Though simple goals, Violet feels as though she won't be able to achieve them due to her lack of social skill. As badly as she wants to connect with others, she finds it very difficult to do so, making the idea of a small group of friends or a loving girlfriend to seem so far out of reach.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Violet would spend every day getting some one-on-one time with a close friend if she could. As previously stated, Violet has issues connecting with others, so a soft, simple, relaxed day with one of her buddies is ideal.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? (I don't think i know quite this much about her, sorry!!)

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? (I'm not sure I know enough to answer this, sorry!!!)

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? Violet would love to be in Hufflepuff! She wants to be seen as a dedicated, hardworking, kind friend, which falls in line with all of Hufflepuff's associated traits. She would hate to be a Slytherin: the more negative traits associated with the house makes her feel as though she would be seen as someone who is selfish and manipulative, something she's very afraid of.

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!) Violet is, above all else, quiet. Never speaking unless spoken to, it's easy for her to blend into the background, which is exactly how she likes it. When she does talk, her conversations are largely superficial. Childhood abandonment from dear friends has scared her of dissapointing or angering the ones she loves, making it very difficult for her to connect with others. As much as she loves people, she's very scared she's going to be hurt again, and refuses to let others in because of it. When befriended, she's a little bit more social: even though she may sound bitter, she will show a more humorous, relaxed side of herself. As people get closer and closer, she becomes more talkative and energetic: if you can break through the walls she's built up, you'll find an excitable, cheerful girl who cares about her friends deeply and dearly.

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!) The oldest of three siblings, Violet grew up in a full, loving household. Blessed with wonderful parents, she always had a support system to fall back on, and though as always there are slip-ups, her parents always supported her and her siblings. Coming out as trans, though still very nerve-wracking, was much easier for her than most others. She loves her siblings and parents with all her heart, and feels most comfortable when around them. Though neither of her parents were magically gifted, when her talents manifested as a young girl they were absolutely thrilled to have a witch in the family, and constantly write letters asking about her life. Friendship, on the other hand, has been very rocky territory for her. Growing up in a small town, Violet had very few children her own age, and none of them were very interesting to her. She latched onto the older kids when she was a young girl, and they had their friend group for a number of years. When her friends began the transition to middle school, however, they left her behind: who would want a little kid for a friend? She was devastated: the only friends she had had all left her at once, and her self-esteem was too low to try to find new ones. She still hasn't totally gotten over it, and feels as though it's her fault they left, and she shuts others out so it won't happen again.

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!

Violet comes from a mixed family: her Indian and Cuban roots have given her dark brown skin, vibrant brown eyes, and thick black hair. Her hooked nose is very prominent, with a heavy downwards tilt. An angular, but still soft, jawline is mostly hidden by her long, wavy hair. Her tired eyes and the slight frown always resting on her face give her a constant look of disapproval, which is fine by her. Violet's build is athletic from over a decade of sports, though taking estrogen has softened her muscle over time.

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!) Violet is a muggle-born witch with parents who are quite enthusiastic about having a mage in the 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!) Violet has no notable magical abilities.

6) What year is your character in? Violet is in her third year.
