1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.
Lyssa is nothing if not prideful. She believes she can do anything better than anyone who's ever done it. Ambition, her mother called it. Sometimes Lyssa can be too proud, and she does things without thinking, and rushes on. She places an abundant amount of trust onto those she takes a liking for, and those who she knows can be trusted, although she can be cruel to those she doesn't like. She's very loyal to her friends, but is cautious and suspicious of new people she meets. Occasionally, Lyssa can even be mean without knowing. Or does she? Lyssa fires and shoots insults at anyone she thinks is insulting her, and that hurts her pride, especially when she finds out someone has done something better than she has done it. She acts sly sometimes, because she thinks she posses special knowledge that nobody else knows, but who knows?
Although Lyssa's good grades sometimes do come from magic, she enjoys to read extra and draw whenever she feels like it or when she has time. Lyssa loves to read about mythology, history, and architecture, being the result of her father once being an architect and her mother a professional writer. When Lyssa knows a job can't be finished, though, her lazy aspect takes over and she leaves it alone. She likes to drink frappucino along with doing her homework (explains those splotches of brown stuff on her parchment sometimes >.<). Lyssa's happy with being a spectator, but when she needs to take action, she recklessly charges in without a plan. She thinks that being unique doesn't mean that it's weird, but it means that your body refuses to take part of the crowd (and thinks its lame) and its trying to tell people that you can be unique 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.
Lyssa Laurent was born in France to two Muggles, but she inherited her grandmother's and grandfather's (her mother's side) magical abilities. Her father, Lant Laurent was an architect and her mother, Naomi Laurent was a novelist. They were rich, and Lyssa lived a luxury life, which maybe spoiled her a bit. She was only six when her father died because he felt dizzy and fell when he was doing some architect work. This had a huge impact on the six year old Lyssa, and it opened up a door of darkness in her paradise life. For two years onward, she remained bitter to the building her father was working on when he fell. It was about done by then, but Lyssa glared at it everytime she passed by. She still hasn't got over it yet. She had no siblings, and her mother remained a widow.
On her ninth birthday, Lyssa made a bad choice and the result was her cautious being around new people. Back then, she believed everyone was trustworthy and she wasn't as cautious as she is now. Unfortunately, one of her so called friends had come to her birthday party, and she was jealous about how much money she had! So, she told another friend that Lyssa had no clue about to come to her house. Lyssa met him, alright. His name was Albert, and he was greedy about money, and he loved to steal. But he acted all nice and cool and all that, and on that night, Lyssa trusted him so much, she eventually let Albert into her room to see her stuff (Her mother didn't approve of strangers going into her house's rooms so it was like a taboo for her). Just in time, Lyssa's mother called them down for cake. Lyssa, giddy with excitment, told Albert to "come down! There's cake! Oh my gosh, there's cake!". Albert shot her a sly grin and told her he had to use the bathroom. "Okay," was the reply Lyssa gave while she skipped down the stairs. Albert pulled out a bag and he stole everything he thought was priceless. He later then found Lyssa's "friend", gave her the stash for a bunch of money and fled the scene. It was only hours later Lyssa found out Albert stole her stuff. From then on, her feelings of regret, anger and sadness hardened into the Lyssa today: Always cautious and suspicious of new people.
Lyssa was delighted when her letter permitting her to Hogwarts came when she was eleven...but her mother was dumbfounded. Lyssa only then revealed to her that her grandmother (Naomi's mother) had told her everything about the wizarding world she could remember and sensed that Lyssa had some magical blood in her. So they went to Hogwarts. Lyssa is loving it there...but hating the obnoxious students there as well. She made it well through her first year and second year, making some friends and enemies, but most of all, acing it in mythology.
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!
Ava Max (If she is available)
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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)
Muggle-Born.
5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)
uh no
6) What year is your character in?
Third.
7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?
Slytherin. Lyssa thinks that Slytherin's not all that bad, and she would fit in there because she thinks the other houses probably won't accept over prideful people. (She thinks the other houses are lame compared to Slytherin.)
B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).
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.
3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?
4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?
5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?
6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?
7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
