The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Even from a young age, Robin has always been a quick learner. Catching on to learning new spells, potions, and whatever else was never too difficult for her. She's smart and has good enough practical skills to figure things out by herself. This has caused her to be quite independent, and not very reliant on other people. Although, at times, she'll often not ask for help when she needs it, being too stubborn and self-reliant to depend on others. This can lead to trouble sometime, and one of her biggest weaknesses that she tries to work on.

Robin doesn't give two damns about what others think of her. If you only want to talk to her in a negative way, just back up and go gossip behind her back or something. She doesn't care. She's always been quite busy with work and doesn't have time to care if someone hates her. She sucks at remembering stuff her parents may tell her, so why would she remember some rude comment some stranger made at a random time?

Debating about subjects with others has always been Robin's favorite. Although she does have strong opinions about certain things, she's not narrow-minded in the least. Learning about someone else's perspective is intriguing to her, even if it doesn't necessarily make her change her mind. She's also quite the debater herself, having a way with words when trying to have someone imagine her belief and perspective. Discussing deep subjects with others has not only helped change Robin's point-of-view on many things, but others as well.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Robin Callahan was the second child (out of five) born to Sebastion and Cordelia Callahan. The family was decently wealthy - with Sebastion being a surgeon and Cordelia a lawyer - and never had to worry financially, even with five kids. They lived in a nice house in Los Angeles, California, and overall Robin had quite a normal childhood. Though, there definitely was a few things that made the girl stand out. Even as a young girl, Sebastion and Cordelia could tell their second oldest child was a prodigy. She was extremely intelligent and learned difficult subjects much faster than most six and seven year old's would. Though, the most unique characteristic of Robin would be her magical ability, although that wouldn't be figured out until much later.

Robin was eight when she had her first sign of magic, although no one would realize it was that. Her and her oldest sister were passing a ball when it ended up on the roof of the house. With it being so high up and stuck, the two ultimately believed it was a goner. Though, they were wrong. Yes, wind moves balls from the roof all the time. Yet, this incident was very different. It didn't fall, it flew... Right into Robin's hands. No one believed the two when mentioning it later, but it was what made Robin's older sister start calling her witchie... So, I guess one person in the family had the right idea.

There were some small incidents afterward, though, too small to be suspicious. Things that were easily excused from being magic. So, it surprised everyone when a random person came to the Callahan house with some news for the eleven year old. Turns out, they were wizards and Robin was one, too. Confusing, definitely, but Robin was quite happy to hear the news. I mean, what eleven year old wouldn't be ecstatic? So after some convincing, her parents finally agreed it would be okay to go to Ilvermorny and learn about the magic manifested inside her.

Sorted into Horned Serpent, Robin had a blast at Ilvermorny. She fit in well enough, but her true strengths in school was her intelligence. She excelled in all her classes and was one of the most talented students in her grade. She was also given prefect for her sixth year and head girl for seventh. After receiving excellent NEWT scores and dreaming about it since fifth year, it was Robin's decision to become an auror - patrol auror to be exact.

Becoming better and better each day, Robin was one of the best aurors in office, but she didn't reach her full height of happiness until she met Raina Stamkos. She was a Hogwarts graduate and professional Quidditch player, moving to America when joining the Fitchburg Finches team. The two hit it off and it didn't take long for the two to start dating. Two years later, Robin and Raina lived together and even wanted to be married soon enough. They had a whole plan of getting married in America - with Robin's family since Raina's were not very supportive of the relationship - and soon after move to England. Though, everything crumpled apart when Raina was murdered one night by a dark wizard.

The news broke Robin, and she completely fell apart. Her girlfriend, one of the most important people in her life, was gone in an instant. She could hardly get out of bed up until the funeral, in which she realized to herself that Raina wouldn't have wanted for Robin to ruin everything like this. So, the twenty-eight year old packed up her things, quit her job, and moved to England, where she always knew she would end up.

With such a rational decision, plans weren't exactly made. She found herself a humble apartment and made her home there. She hopes to apply for the same job she had back in America in England... And who knows? Maybe it will be a nice change of scenery.
