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.


 * Valentina is quick-witted, objective and very, very determined.
 * However, she can also be very intense, sharp-tongued and thick-headed.

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?


 * She's eleven, she hasn't really though about any plans past leaving her past far, far behind her.

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


 * A day well-spent, for Valentina, would be with her out and about, doing all sorts of stuff. She isn't picky about what, so long as she's just active. She isn't particularly against spending her day indoors, so long as she's doing something she likes, like catching up on Eurovision, but she still prefers being outside. She's always just been very active, maintaining her reasonably fit figure just like her father had told her to do.

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


 * A picture of her and her father, her dressed up in one of her mother's very expensive gowns, and her father dressed in one of his very nice suits.
 * A picture of her and her brother, the final one their mother took of them together before his murder.
 * Her wand, because it's her key to the new world, where she her name means absolutely nothing.
 * Her paternal grandmother's engagement ring, she wears it every day. It was her father's last gift to her, before he was arrested, since his mother had passed it on to him to give his first daughter before she died.
 * Her mother's pearls necklace. She received them at the age of ten, inherited from her mother, who got it from her grandmother, the one before her, etc. She really wants to pass it on to her daughter, if she ever has one. Sort of difficult, what with her gayness and all.

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


 * She'd definitely do something about some people's ignorance and fast approach to judging her and her past, but in the end, that's something she'd change about everyone, not just the wizarding society.

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!)

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!)

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 Laneya Grace.

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!)

No
