Forum:Dana ó Cathasaigh

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.


 * + well-meaning, constantly overjoyed, fast learner, adapts easily - reckless, doesn't quite know when to stop, impulsive, kind of aggressive

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?


 * It has absolutely not played out the way she expected, thank Merlin. It did go the way she wanted, meaning she's finally gotten a taste of freedom and she's been able to pursue her dream job, and now she's looking forward to the next stage of her life.

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


 * Her ideal way of spending a free day would be in a forest, most likely with Penelope, basking in the peace and quiet of nature while simultaneously enjoying the presence of many of her favorite creatures.

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

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


 * The world is too cruel and too ignorant. It's outdated and continues to cling onto that 1940s mentality. The homophobia, blatant sexism, and the outright hatred towards anything not perceived as 'normal' needs to stop. Likewise, too many witches and wizards are ignorant about the true beauty of nature, and if she could, Dana would undoubtedly attempt to educate everyone about them.

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!)

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!)


 * Dana ó Cathasaigh is a pure-blooded witch, whose father runs a criminal organization. While small and mostly unheard of, they do all sorts of things, but often pride themselves in being the bearers of different species' spoils. You know - Horned Serpent's Horn, the tears of Phoenixes, the bones of Thunderbirds. Anything they can make a profit off of.

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!)


 * She doesn't have any special magical abilities, no.

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?


 * Dana is working as something akin to a Magizoologist. Though she isn't affiliated to one government in specific, she does loads of research on all types of creatures. That said, she only does it to raise awareness, as her preference lies more in healing them. A veterinary, of sorts. She goes out into the wild to find the wounded and save them.

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?


 * She's kind of hopelessly in love with Penelope Bostwick, but it's unrequited, so that's that. She's single and has no kids.

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!


 * Her faceclaim is Cara Delevingne!

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

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" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?


 * If I'm correct, 13/2.
