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.
Natalia's biggest strengths are her emotional integrity, her clairsentience, and her pure caring nature while her weaknesses lie in her tendency to play safe, ignoring her own emotions too much and focusing on others first, and her "I didn't tell because you didn't ask" behaviour when it comes to her own problems and secrets.
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?
Mostly, but there are some aspects she'd want to change, like her parents accepting her siblings' LGBT-ness.
3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?
For her it'd be a nice day out with her siblings and without her adopted parents. Just them catching up and being themselves without the stigma of being, well, themselves.
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?
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!)
Natalia Valentina Torres. She is the eldest of Karina Acevedo & Adrián Torres' five children but according to official papers, Karina only gave birth to four. Conclusion: Natalia Valentina Torres is adopted.
Nobody knows Natalia's real name nor her biological parents' names. She was just a small, starved girl found in a sack in the back of a pick-up truck by Katarina Torres. No adult was able to wheedle out some sort of backstory from Natalia, but she was willing to share to her adoptive siblings.
Her biological parents were poor. Very, very poor. She remembers her mother's face; tired, worn, bitter. She doesn't remember her father's, nor does she know his name. She knows she has siblings, but they were always kept from her. She remembers her mother's husband's face; angry and filled with hate. She remembers how they looked at her as if she was an abomination, something that should never have been born. Natalia supposes they were right. For one, she was proof of her mother's infidelity. For another, she was perceptive, too perceptive. She can time the exact moment someone's mood shifts, she can tell when a smile is trying to hide boiling fury, and she acts accordingly.
“Why battle darkness with darkness when you can chase it away with light?”
She runs from their house, a small, cramped, smelly place beneath a bridge, and climbs high to the busy street above. Then she waits. She waits for the anger, the hate, the bitterness to subside. Natalia knows those won't disappear, but she does know they shrink, and they shrink when she runs. No use threatening someone who isn't there.
Natalia goes back to her house, she doesn't call it a home, and no one greets her. A good sign, they've gone back to pretending she doesn't exist. The sun has set in the horizon. Once it rises again, it's another round of running from the flames. Amidst all of this, she smiles. She doesn't give them the satisfaction of breaking their biggest mistake.
Their fuses only last so long though. The next time she returned from the busy roads above, they were at the doorstep, waiting with a sack. They were unusually tranquil, almost glad.
“We found a way to finally get rid of you.”
She doesn't fight back, she wants to get away from here too.
Natalia doesn't know how long she had stayed curled up in that sack, but at least her parents were considerate enough to leave her some food and water kindess wasn't a word suited for them. But of course, it was only a matter of time before her situation becomes unbearable. She was only a child after all.
Found by a woman passing by just in time to hear her whimpers, Natalia likes to believe that being taken out from the darkness of the sack and into the bright light of Brazil symbolised a sort of "rebirth" for her.
Natalia decided she liked the woman holding her, the woman was overflowing with maternal love and worry. She knew the woman was asking her something, but Natalia couldn't understand her. Later on she would realise that it was because the woman was speaking an entire new language. From that point on, everything became too confusing for Natalia because of the sudden thrust into a new culture. The only way she was able to discern some things was through her unnatural perceptiveness. By piecing together whatever information she collected, Natalia was able to get the gist of everything; Katarina and her husband wanted to adopt her. Natalia saw this as the beginning of a newer, better life, so she agreed.
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!)
Unknown, presumably Half-Blood
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!)
Clairvoyant; clairsentience
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?
Planning to have her work at the Ministry
6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?
Single pringle and lowkey wants to mingle
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!
