 - it wasn't love;  it was a perfect illusion.

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.

'''Melody can be nice and social? Yeah, that could be a strength, right? It's just that she happens to think sometimes that she's better than she actually is, but it also doesn't take much to drag her back down. Her downsides would by far be her stubborn attitude or that she might keep crap in for too long.'''

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?

'''Melody just wants to finish up school already or at least get old enough now to move out of her uncle's place. They're both short term goals, because she quite honestly doesn't know what she wants to do with life after that. It's all a mystery to her and she's totally okay with that.'''

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

'''In Melody's mind, she believes that there's nothing like hanging out outside in nature with the plants and environment while you enjoy some tea or strawberry shortcake. It's calming to her, being around the silence and the sweet breeze of life.'''

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

'''Melody loves her jewelry and her shoes, but she can't imagine putting a limit on what she can have. If anybody tried to enforce such upon her, she's sure she would probably have a panic attack. There's no sort of minimalistic features to this young gal and you can't force there to be.'''

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

'''Melody doesn't really hate anything about wizarding society. Sure, she wished that they could have electronics because her music is everything to her and she can't really listen to it around any sort of magic. Is that really something she would dedicate her life to? The answer is 'no'. It's not really important to her. There's other things to worry about.'''

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?

'''Melody could not care less about this thought that you must stick to one house. It wasn't fun at Ilvermorny. It won't be any fun here. Quite frankly, she couldn't care less where she goes as long as the beds are comfortable and the people aren't keeping her up. The only purpose of these houses are to divide where you sleep, so why care about anything else?'''

The Character's Background

(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!)
