You can slice it a lot of different ways with one being the Hogwarts founders chose to split students based on the introvert/extrovert axis and then again based on if your interactions with other people are innately selfish or selfless. You can look at it from a primal elemental view with each house representing an element (Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth). You could say each house represents a primary personality attribute (Bravery, Cunning, Knowledge, and Friendship).

#If you could go to any other magical school other than Hogwarts, which one? Why?
#If you could go to any other magical school other than Hogwarts, which one? Why?
"I have bright, bold, blue eyes and brown hair plus freckles. My skin is usually more pale because I would prefer to be inside reading. I'm average weight and height for my age bracket plus or minus two percent."
Model is Lily Kruk.
2) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? This does include a roleplayed family. (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)
"Pure-Blood. My mother is Faith Willard and my Father is Dakota Willard. I do not know him very well because he was not around for most of my childhood but we've met now and are getting to know one another better. I am hoping that will continue this year while at school."
3) Is your character considered Exotic? If so, what category do they fall under? Part or half of that magical race counts! Remember, you must do at least two questions related to your exotic in the interview! Remember your first two characters cannot be an exotic!
Remember you must answer at least ten questions with substantial detail. However, the more questions you do, the less detail we ask of you. This excludes any compulsory questions. So eleven questions in total. All answers must be answered in-character, as if you are role-playing them being interviewed. Please note, you can answer the questions in internal thoughts if the character doesn't want to verbally answer it! We do ask that you don't hide any detail from us.
What was your first incident of magic and how old were you? (Compulsory)
"Healing my cousin who had fallen into a pool. She was playing and fell and hit her head on the side of the pool causing a contusion and bleeding. When she came out she had no mark and her head wasn't bleeding anymore."
"Reading. I love to read and often have a few extra books with me for intellectual stimulation or in case I need an excuse from having to be social when I would rather not be."
Were you close with your family growing up? If not-why?
"Yes. My mother moved us in with the Norwegian royal family when I was young and I grew up with Karina and Alexander in a sibling type relationship. I also am cordial with the rest of my other's family...we would go see them for Christmas or occasionally other holidays or occasions."
What would you say to your younger self and what would they think of you?
"I would say nothing because if I was talking to my younger self it would mean I had gone back in time and I would want to cause the least amount of damage possible."
"I am considering a career in Healing. Conversely if I find I am proficient at teaching I may follow that path and impart my knowledge on the next generation."
Who/what was the biggest influence growing up? Why?
"The biggest influence was my mother. She's extremely bright but a bit lacking in the social and emotional department so I have done my best to be better in tune with my emotions and those of the people around me to help bridge that gap. Secondarily would be my older "sister" Karina since I have looked up to her for years and try to be like her. A tertiary influence would be the lack of having my father around until recently which definitely impacted my early years."
What was your childhood dream? Why so? And why did it change?
"Born in the UK, grew up in Norway, coming back to UK for school. Right now I expect to be back in Norway over the summer but probably in the UK for holidays."
Would you rather have endless money or endless amount of love? why?
"Love is not something that can accurately be measured, therefore how would you know you had an endless amount? Money is something that can be measured and therefore you can never have an endless amount. The question is ridiculous since neither can be accurately measured and therefore proven."
What are people’s usual first impressions of you? Are they correct?
"Anti-social and difficult to interact with. I think it is a correct impression in some ways but I would hope I get easier to interact with as you get to know me better."
How much effort do you put into fashion and appearance? Do you have a personal ‘aesthetic’?
"A reasonable amount. Karina taught me the importance of appearance so I do try to maintain a standard while not going overboard or spending any unreasonable amount of time on it."
"It depends. If they are trying to be social I do my best to set them at ease, converse with them, and provide conversation that improves both of us. If they ignore me I am happy to ignore them."
Do you believe people can be given a second chance?
"I believe they are signs that humans made up to try to ascribe meaning to things they do not understand. I believe the signs are cheap representations of deeper truths that zodiac signs only capture part of."
"A lot of tutors and private lessons. I was taught with Karina and Alexander at the Norwegian palace so I have studied more than most kids my age. I very much enjoy learning, though I prefer study to the hands-on learning which Hogwarts is known for."
If you ever went to Hogwarts, what house do you think you're most suited for? Why? Is there any house you don't want to be in?
"Ravenclaw. I need to be intellectually stimulated, and the other house's wouldn't meet that need nearly as much. Secondarily would probably be Slytherin. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are too social for my tastes."
What are your interpretations on each Hogwart house? Why?
"I could probably write a dissertation on this topic. You can slice it a lot of different ways with one being the Hogwarts founders chose to split students based on the introvert/extrovert axis and then again based on if your interactions with other people are innately selfish or selfless. You can look at it from a primal elemental view with each house representing an element (Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth). You could say each house represents a primary personality attribute (Bravery, Cunning, Knowledge, and Friendship). In the end all of these are different pieces of the truth which is that the houses each specialize in certain aspects of the human psyche and personality to group like people together to better improve their education and social skills."
If you could go to any other magical school other than Hogwarts, which one? Why?
"Drumstrang. You can best understand things by studying them and Durmstrang has the best reputation fo Dark Arts which means it would be the ideal place to study them and learn how to best counter them."
Do you think you're prejudiced or have a certain bias?
These do not count to your minimum and are an extension. You must answer at least two of your specific exotic. So you must have twelve questions in total!
"It was taught to me by my mother while growing up. It is an effective tool for helping to organize one's own mind and emotions to make you more effecitve."
"Yes. It's very effective to help students learn better by organizing their own mind and thoughts. I think it would be useful for everyone to study though I do not believe everyone could learn it."
OOC Questions
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"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs.
32 total, 6 currently active, 2 exotics (Jaina and Karci which might go away if I can't find RPs for her).
