36 Questions to Get to Know You IC

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

The Sorting Hat - I feel like it knew things about me that I still don't know, and I want to know why it put me in Ravenclaw of all houses.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

NEVER! That sounds so scary, everyone knowing about me and wanting to ask me questions or talking to me. I like people not noticing me so much now.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

Yes. If I didn't I'd probably just splutter a lot and say something stupid or annoying and I don't want the person I'm talking to to just hang up on me.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

I'd get to spend the whole day at a magical zoo, getting to meet all of the animals and talk to the keepers who'd let me pet the creatures and help train them.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

Oh, I don't sing... I have a really bad singing voice. I probably last sang to myself on a walk when I knew I was far enough away from someone. I don't remember the last time I sang to someone else...

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Definitely the mind! I don't want to forget stuff, and I think the way that I think is more important than how fast I can run. I think people who value their appearance are kind of shallow.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

NO! Or, at least, I don't think so. Sometimes I have a dream about falling off a boat in the middle of the ocean. But I don't think that's like, a prophecy or anything.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

(cause I'm the first I'm going to answer about Elspeth and Me OoC)
We're both really anxious and worry that we're bothering people just by being around them. We both find peace and quiet outdoors to be very soothing. Neither of us is especially good at art, but we also don't really care about how bad we are all that much.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

My dad. He's always been so nice and he tries really hard to help me better when I'm feeling sad.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

I wish my mom would trust me more and not feel like she has to plan out everything that I do. I think she thinks that I'm not able to do stuff without getting hurt, but I've learned this year that I actually CAN go off and do things on my own without it going badly.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

I'm an only child who grew up in Wales with my muggle dad who's a baker and my witch mom who helps fix people's magical items. I don't remember much from when I was, like, a baby, but I remember that when I was a little kid I'd spend most of my time playing pretend in my backyard. There was this one stick that I'd hide by mom's shed that I always used as my pretend wand and I'd fight bad guys and save the day and I was the best witch in the whole world. My mom homeschooled me instead of sending me to muggle school. I loved the lessons that she'd make up, cause she never gave homework or anything. Both of my parents were super nervous about getting in trouble for not liking the Queen, so we stayed in our homes most of the time. I didn't really have many friends before coming to Hogwarts. The muggle boys next door were always super mean to me too, but I never told my parents because I didn't want them to stop me from going out in the backyard which is my favorite place in the whole world.

I didn't use magic for the first time until reeeeeeeally late. When thought I was a squib, actually, and I almost went to muggle school this year. But then I was laying under my favorite tree and a butterfly landed on my nose so I sneezed and purple sparks shot out and made the butterfly giant for a few seconds. I'm still not sure if I'm happy about being at Hogwarts or not. All year I've felt like I don't really fit in or belong in my house, and that I'm not as good at magic as a lot of other kids. After going to the Blossom Ball and seeing Ana on fire I've had a really hard time falling asleep, and I'm even more nervous in a lot of ways. But I'm also trying to do things I know will make me happy now too.

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

I wish I knew how to walk up to people sitting at a table and ask to join them. Also, being able to be a good quidditch player.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

Will I ever be any good at magic?

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

I've always secretly wanted to be really good at Quidditch, but I'm super nervous about flying and don't think I'm cool or athletic enough to actually do it very well...

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Oh, that's hard... I don't think I'm super good at all that much. I managed to pull my grade up in transfiguration this semester and I feel really really proud of myself for that, cause that class is the hardest one I've taken all year. But that kind of seems like a dumb accomplishment...

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Someone I can talk to without feeling scared that they're going to make fun of me.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

One time I noticed a new butterfly in the back yard, and I wrote a letter to a scientist at a conservation... station(?) nearby and they said they hadn't seen that kind of butterfly in my city before! They even wrote me a letter and gave me a certificate that says I'm an "amateur naturalist". I have it hanging on my wall in my bedroom at home.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

.... seeing that girl on fire at Blossom Ball

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I'd probably quit Hogwarts, go home, and spend the year eating lots of candy and going all over the world with my parents so I could see all the different kinds of animals there are.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

Friends are people I can hang out with and share secrets with and who help me when I'm feeling really sad.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

I dunno... I love my parents but I don't really love anyone else. Crushes and love kind of make me feel squeamy and nervous...

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

1. That I ask good and interesting questions. 2. That I'm secretly kind of a little bit actually brave 3. That I think my eyes are really pretty.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

I'm pretty close with both of my parents - we spend a lot of time together in our house playing games or reading stories or watching tv. I think my childhood has been pretty happy, but I don't really know what other people's childhoods were like so I dunno if theirs were happier? I've always wished that we took more vacations as a family, cause we never do. But I think we've always been there for each other and I know my parents love me a lot.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

My mom has always made me feel like I had to live up to these really high expectations, but never in a mean way! She just always makes it sound like when she was a kid she had all these amazing and exciting adventures at Hogwarts and she had such a great time. It makes me feel like if I'm not having an amazing time... that I'm doing something wrong. But I know that she loves me a lot and wants the best for me. I just wish I could be the interesting and exciting kid it seems like she should have had.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

We are both kind of shy about meeting new people. We're both Ravenclaw first year girls. We both like drawing (but she's way better at it than me)

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

I wish I had someone I could share about Blossom Ball with... I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to about how scary it was and how scared I still am about it. I don't want to tell my parents cause I don't want them to be worried. I don't really know any of the professors all that well. And I don't want to freak my friends out. But I also feel like if I don't talk to someone about it my head might explode from how bad it makes me feel all the time...

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

(I'm gonna do @Pericles Dralt ... cause he's the one who posted a Questionnaire topic before me xD) - If we were gonna be friends, he'd need to know that I'll probably always need him to start a conversation with me first, because I'll be too nervous to talk to him, what with him being a prefect and all. Even though we're both first years, I know he must be a lot smarter and a better leader than me so I don't want to bother him or annoy him by like, coming around and asking him lots of questions or wanting to talk when he's busy.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

(Doing Pericles again) - I like that he's always working so hard to make Ravenclaw feel like a better house. He does tons of homework and helped put on Blossom Ball (which was AWFUL but it's still so cool that he helped with it). Also he's cute, but not like in a I wanna hold his hand way. Just in a cute soft kind of way.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

When Cassandra Ironwoods took all my books and made me sit in the middle of the rehearsal hall so she and her friends could laugh at me before I had a panic flashback when I saw Ivy and thought she was Ana... I wish I could erase that memory from my brain. And theirs.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

Oh man. The last time I cried in front of someone was in the Trophy Room, when someone walked in while I was feeling really bad about myself for being a dumb Ravenclaw. I cry really quietly, some nights, in my bed though. I don't think anyone else can hear me... mostly I'm homesick and miss my parents a lot.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

I think Cassandra is so confident and always seems to know exactly what to say and doesn't seem afraid of anyone. I wish I could walk around not always being afraid of anything too.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

I don't like it when people joke about doing scary stuff, like using knives or starting fights or setting fire to parts of the school... a lot of kids at Hogwarts seem to think it's funny to make the school more dangerous to live in but it just feels really scary and overwhelming for me.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I wish I could tell my dad that I don't think he's worse than me and mom. I think he thinks its a secret, but I can tell when he feels left out for being a muggle. I don't want him to feel bad about that cause I love him and he's a really good dad. But I haven't told him cause I dunno if he'd be embarrassed to find out that I know.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My notebook - it's got all the drawings and notes I've taken about different creatures I've seen since coming to Hogwarts. It's probably the most important thing that I own, except for my wand.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why

I mean, all of them?? I don't want my mom or dad to ever die and I'd be really really sad if it ever happened...

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

(Elspeth is gonna try and give me advice about how I can get out of my house more often and not feel like such an unproductive blob)
If you don't like sitting around your house all day... it sounds like you should just get out of your house more? You're a grown up so no one can tell you not to go on walks or anything. I dunno. It sounds like kind of an easy problem to fix to me... Just get up and go and do all the things you want to do, cause the only person keeping you from doing them is you.

I want advice on how to stand up to people when they're mean to me - especially when like, a Slytherin walks up and just starts making fun of me. I always just start to cry and then they pick on me even more... and I don't know what to do.

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

"My mother's side of the family. I've never met them, and I don't think my parents have told me the full truth as to why. It couldn't hurt just to meet them. Could it...?"

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

"I'm not interested in fame, but there are some things I'm trying to solve that might make me famous as consequence. I would love to publish a book too (whether it's a hit or not)!"

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

"Sometimes. It helps to be prepared, that way I won't wind up rambling or forgetting any important details."

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

"It would start with waking up before anyone else in my dorm, prior to sunrise. I'd have the restrooms to myself, with time to wash my face and comb my hair while it's completely quiet, and a considerate house elf might've left tea down in the common room. I could relax with a drink and a book, or better yet, I could go for a jog by the lake. After changing into school robes, I'd head to breakfast with my Housemates and have eggs Benedict with a glass of lemon water. The family owl would bring me news from home. I would ideally get to practice a new spell in every single class through the day, maybe meet someone new at lunch, or at least have an interesting conversation about something another person and I are passionate about. I wouldn't have too much homework at the end of the day, so there would be free time for my other interests. Maybe I could relax with a friend or have a quiet afternoon in my bunk. At night, I'd do my patrols, and find something terribly exciting absolutely nothing would go wrong."

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

"The last time I sang for others was during my Frog Choir audition. I don't usually sing outside of events, but I do like to hum in the shower."

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

"If I could live to ninety without a memory that fades with age, definitely 'mind'. The thought of becoming scrambled or forgetful is really daunting. I work hard to retain all that I learn, so the idea of inevitably being unable to stop that is, well...."

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

"Very likely while I am researching something best left unanswered."

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

"We both like peace and quiet outdoors.
We both have protective parents which home-schooled us, making it tough to have childhood friends.
We're both curious and empathetic!"

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

"My family. Even though they did sort of 'hover', my parents have done their very best to prepare me for live as a wizard. My older sister has always been kind and supportive of me- we didn't have sibling squabbles growing up, and hearing about those makes me especially grateful for her."

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

"I should have liked to've tried public school... but I suppose I get that now, at Hogwarts, so...."

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

"Another time, perhaps. I prefer to tell it one-on-one, if at all."

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

"I'd like to be a master of biology, or maybe an incredible writer. That would help me to write a book someday."

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

"I think that would be too tempting. I'm not sure I'd want to know...."

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

"I've dreamed of playing on the Quidditch team! It took me a long while to get up the courage for signing up, because in all honesty, I'm not a terribly good flyer. But I am finally wait-listed, so I suppose that's something."

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

"My first accidental magic. It came when I needed it most."

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

"Honesty, consideration, and patience."

17. What is your most treasured memory?

"Oh, I couldn't say for certain... some were trips with my family, others were here at Hogwarts."

18. What is your most terrible memory?

"I'd prefer not to talk about that at all."

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

"I'd likely leave Hogwarts before anyone could become too attached do me. I wouldn't want anyone else being hurt, and so few people know me back home at all. I would insist on traveling with my parents, who often leave for situations 'too dangerous' to take me along. That wouldn't be a problem any longer."

20. What does friendship mean to you?

"Finding someone to trust- trust to keep secrets, to help and be helped by, to spend time with whether we're talking or just enjoying one another's company."

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

"My immediate family taught me a great deal about what it means to actually love a person. I don't know anyone outside of them that I know well enough to love, but I think affection- or compassion, I s'pose- is something that can be easily shared. There are a few people I'm starting to feel sentimental towards."

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

Pericles is neutral about his looks. Like most kids, if he were teased about them, he'd behave unaffected but be hurt more than he would let on. He was taught to love himself for how he is, but as he's about to hit teenagerhood, liking himself for his looks and odd personality is going to be naturally difficult for a little while. He also has mixed feelings about his maturity: while complimented on it, he feels like it sets him apart from his peers, so he constantly worries about coming off as an elitist (especially as a pure-blood) or know-it-all.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

"I dunno. Happiness is relative, and my childhood has its fair share of ups and downs, but the closeness of my family really held things together. I've been fortunate to have parents and a sibling that care so genuinely about one another, and me."

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

"Father says he sees a lot of her in me. My mother taught me all sorts of important things- gardening, herbology, a hint of divination and astrology- but also a lot about keeping an open mind. She's an extraordinary witch."

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

"We both likes cats. We put care into our appearances. We aren't afraid of seeking forbidden knowledge."

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

"...everything. Secrets, insecurities, the past. But also play and fun and just, I dunno.... Someone I could be open with, who would show they really cared, without fear of the truth being used against me someday."

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

Poor Elspeth! She seems like such a sweetheart. I'd want her to know that Pericles is a super non-judgmental character, but he's poor at approaching people most of the time, he's lost in his own world. We should scheme for ways in which they can breach her anxieties.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

Elspeth is an interesting little gal. I like how even though she's super shy, she went out of her way to force herself into the Blossom Ball so that she could help others. I like that the writer has been very active and engaged with the community, they've made a lot of effort to get integrated and be helpful which is something I can admire and relate to.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

"The first time my parents took me to a muggle movie theater, I clapped at the end of the movie. I was so used to actual theaters, I thought that's what we were supposed to do!"

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

"I... don't remember."

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

"Oh, I don't have one of those. Unless it's true what they say, and hags are responsible for all the misfortune around the school. I guess that would make them my enemy, though I think hags are frightfully interesting beings, and if I could learn from one without fear of getting a rotten deal, I would be really tempted to."

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

"Discriminatory jokes about the different magical blood types. It's a part of who we are, something we were born with that cannot be changed. I think it's extremely poor taste- like teasing a person for their race."

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

"I'd have some things I'd wished I told my father, I think...."

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

"My wand, I'd think, because I'd feel lost without it. Or, because I technically could just buy another wand, maybe something important to my family name or, something expensive we could sell to take the edge off of the financial loss."

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

"I couldn't possibly choose. What an awful situation to imagine...."

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

"I am a proponent of devastating yet dignified remarks. If someone takes the time to tease you unprompted, they are probably insecure about themselves. I wrote an article about it with Phaedra Stavrou! If you don't feel up to that, though, you could always just walk away. Someone like that isn't worth your time of day. Ignore them, leave, and if they try to stop you, call for help or force your way out of the situation."

"How can I relate to my peers more? I have a hard time finding others who were raised the way I was."

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

My father's side of the family. It's always a good conversation and a fun time. They also know more about them and information is valuable.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Yes, I want to be the best potioneer.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

No, I know exactly how to say what I want to say and when I want to say it.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

A day of perfect photographs or walking outside during the first snowfall hopefully in the evening.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

I sing to myself all of the time. The last Frog Choir meeting was the last time I sang in front of someone else.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Body, if I am lucky enough my mind will still be just fine just like Merlin and Flamel. Having a body of a 30-year old will give me the opportunity to better exercise the knowledge I have gained during my years.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Yes.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

We both want to dine with family, We are both in the Frog Choir, & We prefer to tell our stories one on one.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

The gifts my parents have past down to me.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

More quality time with my parents.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

This is a one on one kind a deal.

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

To be more hyper-observant than I already am.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

Knowledge can be dangerous and knowing may stop me from obtaining the things I truly desire. So no.

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

Getting revenge, but the time is not right.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Helping brew an Amortentia potion with Professor Price.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Loyalty, Honesty, & people who can kee their word.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

Walking in the snow with my parents on the eve of the solstice.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

The screaming.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I would find a way to get my revenge. One way or another.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

Friendship is someone that will have your back in public no questions asked. No matter if you are wrong or not. But having the gaul to correct you in private. They do not lie to you and they always show up when you nee them to.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

What? Inconsequential.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

Lack of physical strength, Fear, and being alone all of the time.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

We were close and yes.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

It would be better if she wasn't in the ground.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

We know each other's secrets. We help each other when needed. We know it is never us against each other, but always us against the world.

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

Everything.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

Time can melt Ice.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

OOC cause we don't know each other IC. I love how creative you are!

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

Back home one time I was trying to get just the perfect picture of a bird's nest and while in the tree I lost balance and fell into the lake.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

Right after winter break. Last night.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

How well they can hide.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Hurting other people for no reason.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

At this very moment in time, nothing.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My first Photoalbum.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

Already happened, no need to talk about it. Can't change it.

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Walk a mile in their shoes. Try to see things from their perspective and see if you can find a common ground to relate. Once you breech those floodgates it gets easier but you have to put in as much effort as you expect from them.

Sleep doesn't come easy and it doesn't stay long. How would you calm your mind?

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

I don't like famous people. If I had to choose, the best dinner in the world would be a picnic on the roof while the skies dark, watching the fireworks with my brothers.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

I still don't like famous people. But if I had to be famous, it would be for something that I put real effort into, like music or becoming an auror. Something along those lines.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

Nope. Stare the gun in the face and just bite the bullet. There's nothing more awkward than a false conversation and it's hard to react if your plan doesn't perfectly fit with what they're going to say. Like, what if they say something random instead of hello at the beginning? It pays to be light on your feet. Also, planning ahead is way too much effort for a single conversation.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

A perfect day... waking up and baking cinnamon rolls/having a flour war with my brothers in the kitchen and then taking them all out to a lake with my guitar to watch them play in the water while I practice. Learning how to drive a car so I can take them on a road trip somewhere special, like an amusement park, and then coming home tired to climb on the rooftop and stargaze until I feel well enough to go to sleep.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

In the shower, this morning when I woke up. Or maybe it was on the way here, who knows? It doesn't register for me anymore. The last time I sang to someone else was creating the living teabag creatures in the rain.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

I think I'd prefer to have my body. A respectable amount of 90-year-olds can keep their wits about them to that age, but a body deteriorates fast. I'd like to not worry any future generations that I might fall down the stairs and die. Besides, I've always been proud of my athleticism so, there's that too.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

I'd like to die of old age but I might die by sleep deprivation if these new curfew rules have anything to say about it. Otherwise—I wouldn't be that surprised if the man in the mask murdered me, but I'm not going down that way without a fight and cursing him to burn in the pits of hell.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

We both seem to be somewhat quiet, kind of snarky, and a tiny bit cold. Odd histories as well. But who knows, I don't know San very well.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

Even though they're dead awful parents, I'm grateful that the Castillions managed to pick all of us up. I don't know what came over them, but if I had been separated from my brothers, I think I would have died a long time ago.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

I'd like to know who my parents were. Even if they were serial killers or something, it would be nice to have a face or even a name. I don't go so far as to dream they'd stay and raise us well, but I'd like to see the look on their faces when I tell them I have magic.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

Um... Well, I'd love it if someone could do this for me. I don't remember most of my childhood honestly. I think I blocked it out. My earliest memory is probably arriving at the Castillion Manor with all my brothers. Like I said before, Kyron and Estella are awful parents 'cause they're always off doing something somewhere, but I guess that was okay because the maid helped me figure out how to run the household in a semi-functioning state. I learned to cook and bake and pretend to be a parental figure to my five little idiots. School was okay, I guess. I never really made any friends, but it was fun having the resources to research my topics of interest like snakes and whatnot. I wish I could have gotten music lessons, but it would have taken up too much time.

Regardless, life was pretty normal until Nereus decided to jump off a bridge and I evidently figured out I had magical powers. Pretty soon after that, the Hogwarts entrance letter arrived. I can't tell you how many of those things I threw in the trash, to be honest. But uh, I'm glad they kept coming because right now, the best thing I can probably do for my family is stay as far away as possible. I don't need anymore scary masked men showing up to threaten our existence.

As for Hogwarts, I've mostly stayed out of the way of the major events, done some exploring, joined a few clubs, done way too many crafts, and somehow survived to the end of the school year. So yay!

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

I don't know. I don't really think I could pinpoint a place to improve on individually. Maybe I'd like to be smarter than I am, if that would make homework go faster.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

How did my parents die?

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

I don't have many dreams. It's easier to keep my feet planted and face the world as it comes. I've always wanted to learn the guitar though 'cause I never had time, but I've finally been able to do that, so I don't have much else on my bucket list.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Saving my brother from dying of stupidity.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Someone who knows how to hold a conversation and stand their own ground. I'm fine with silence, but I hate awkward silence with a passion. Otherwise, I'd like someone who I can call on whenever I need too and who trusts me enough to do the same.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

A failed attempt at dumplings for Lunar New Year that ended up with flour all over the kitchen and a lost penny, but was totally worth it in the end.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

Someone almost adopting Plato on his own and taking him away from me.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I want to see my brothers flourish. Other than that, I'd probably sell everything I own, steal a bunch of cash from Kyron, and go on a worldwide adventure to find the most venomous spider. And eat lots of good food.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

Good apart, but better together. A balanced complement of personalities that makes spending time with one another an energy-gain rather than an energy-suck. Someone who I know I can lean on, no matter how seemingly distant, who might not share my points of view but is understanding and enthusiastic about them. A magical relationship really, something one in a million that I don't take lightly.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

It's hard to think that anyone would be alive without love and affection of some sort. There are just some things you live for and if I didn't anchor myself on a base like love, as disgusting as it sounds, I think I would have drifted a long time ago. I don't care for physical affection or the mushy-kind of stuff and I close off easily and can live like that, but deep down, affection for my family and for my friends is what keeps me going every day. And a fair amount of, f*ck you, I'm going to survive, to the universe.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

Their voice, their book-smartness (and anything nerd related honestly), and maybe their overbearing, perfectionist tendencies (but that's maybe because it force them into all-nighter way too many times a week)

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

The people who I consider my family I'm very close too. I think my childhood was much happier than a lot of people's. We had all we could possibly want and then some.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

I—don't have one. If you're talking about Estella, she's less like a mother and more like an overbearing, old hag, but I guess she's fun to put up with.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend.

I don't have a best friend. I don't care for words like "best" anyway; there's no telling when they could leave you or disappear off the face of the planet. Everyone I meet serves their own purpose in my life, in—one way or another.

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

"I wish I had someone whom I could sing to who'd never get tired of listening." Good enough?

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

I don't get close to people that easily, but I'm willing to put in the effort if you are.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

I don't know that much about San, but from what I've heard, you sound like a very interesting, unpredictable witch and someone who would be worth psychoanalyzing being friends with. I'd like to know your life story and hopefully, I never get on your bad side.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

I erase all such memories from my mind immediately after the fact. But if I had to guess, someone probably asked me a question about politics and I gave them an exceedingly wrong answer.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

I don't remember. I don't know if I ever have.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

Here's the thing about enemies; everyone is a two-sided coin with depth in the middle that I can't possibly begin to fathom. People that are rude to me are amusing and the trait I find most annoying doesn't lend itself to toxic relationships. Perhaps no one has rubbed me the wrong way yet or maybe everyone does so I just don't care anymore, but I don't have a worse enemy so—there's not really an answer to this.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Death of someone who mattered.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I'd like my brothers to know about magic. I haven't told them for their own safety and probably 'cause I'd be breaking some code of conduct (they're too young anyway), but someday I'll get there.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My guitar, because everything else important to me is almost always on my person.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

Nereus' probably. He might be the most annoying, but he's like our backbone. But I'd probably be broken if any of them left me.

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Go stargazing with soft music playing in your ears until you drift away under the swirling sky. Trust in the fact that you're never really alone; there will always be someone to carry you back to bed when you lose yourself to the dreamland.

How do I make an impossible decision? If I could never be able to see my family again but they'd be safe, is that worth it?

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

The Head of house. I think he is a very interesting person to talk to. I'm sure he can help me with all my troubles.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Yes, I would like to be famous. I want to be the best Quiddich Player in the World.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

Yes. I always think you should rehearse what you're going to say in your mind, because it can hurt someone. Think about how you would react and that's it.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

No trouble at Hogwarts, having a O in all my classes, winning the house cup, a fun afternoon of Quiddich practice and at last some cozy reading by the fireplace if it's winter.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

When I last singed to myself was today. I sing all the time to be honest. Last time I singed to someone else was in the Hogwarts got Talent auditions. I think I sang pretty bad.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

The mind. I can't believe people would want the body. Forget everything you've learned? No way.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

No. Never.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

1. We don't have many friends.
2.Were both cold enough towards people.
3. We both have odd relationships with our parents, well....hers died, right?

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

My father. He was always there for me.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

My mother almost hating me the whole time. She just does not like me. I know it.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

I was raised in Sussex, England. But I was born in the United States, since my sister went to Ilvermorny there. My mother and father, Philpp and Eloise Moonstar were the greatest parents in the world, or at least I knew they would be. But the problem was, that my mother hated witches and wizards. When my sister was invited to Ilvermorny, my mom didn't want her to go. But Van wanted to, so she let her go. Instead of coming back from the school and playing with her past Muggle friends she was hidden from everyone. Same happened with me. When invited to Hogwarts, my mother trashed me and told everyone I now resided in another school far away.

Before going to Hogwarts we moved to Sussex, of course. Dad had always been kind to me, even if I was a witch. He knew from the start, since the fire incident at my home and the cool things I did. So I always loved my Papa, even tho my mother despised me. When my sister graduated from Ilvermorny two years ago, she came back to England and went on to a career in the Ministry. She became a Auror. This year she was fired and went on to another career in St. Mungo's. She became a Junior Healer, and she was one of the greatest there. Then, my mom got sick terribly, last month, and she is now in St. Mungo's. Now, a lot of nurses think she's going to die, and I'm scared.

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

Having extra intelligence. Yeah, I think that would be great.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

Is my mother going to die soon?

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

I have dreamed of playing in a match. A actual official match as seeker. I've never done it, because I've been added recently into second string. Hopefully, my dream will be done soon.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

My first grade in Charms was a O. I was always good in Charms, but my first grade? Darn that felt good.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Sincerity, honesty, punching each other in the face, no secrets.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

My mother once smiled lovingly to me. But I guess she was only sleeping.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

The day of the Blossom Ball. I felt so empty inside when I saw Ana burn down.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I would want my mother to stop being so stupid. She will have to stop sooner or later.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

Being together forever, even when you aren't fiscally, secret keeping, loving each other forever. Yes, only those three.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

I don't know. I actually didn't understand that question...

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

1. She thinks she is pretty.
2.She thinks she is a very good Quiddich Player (and she is)
3. She likes how she thinks fast and knows the answer to everything.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

I don't think my childhood was like the others. My family isn't warm. I only like my dad, my sister, and my gran.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

Can we skip that?

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

1.We are really cool people.
2.We love adventure.
3. We both think that punching each other is best for both of us.

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

...my deepest secrets and troubles.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

You can't ask me 'What's your biggest secret?' Or our relationship will be over in a snap.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

She's really good at Charms. I would say I had fun with her the last time I saw her.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

No I won't. <Ok, but don't tell anybody. I was once in the Great Lake and was doing something against the rules, and a few prefects came out and I tried to run away- and came back again.>

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

I don't remember.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

Nothing.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Somebody's life. You know it already.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I won't tell you (May would want to tell her mother how much she regretted all what they had gone through.)

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My wand. I won't leave without my wand.Its a very important item that I would never loose.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

My fathers. Even tho it's a horrible question *kicks the camera down*

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Yes, it is! I promise you, you'll see them again, even if they're far away. You won't regret it.

How can I decide which one I love best between two people I love very much?

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Reid, probably. I already know that I can stand to be in the same room as him for dinner. I don't want anyone else I invite to end up being annoying and then I have to tell them to leave.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Sure. Probably as a famous reporter, maybe even EiC of the Daily Prophet. Or a famous Quidditch player for the French national team.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

No. I just don't feel the need to.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

Hm. Probably napping? I need a break. Otherwise, I'd say probably an eventful day. Always appreciated when I have content to put into the paper.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

I hum to myself a lot, but I'm not a vocalist, so I don't sing to others. If I ever have I was probably really young.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

I guess mind. I don't want to be senile. Besides, there's those beauty spells or potions, right? If I get really vain I could just use those.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Not really. I've always just assumed it would be old age or something. But maybe I get assassinated if I do become the EiC of the prophet and publish something people don't like.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

We both like Quidditch, mom hates her, has a brother (I have two brothers but oh well).

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

My family aside from my parents. So mostly my siblings, uncle, and cousins.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

I think I would have stayed in one country. I loved the adventure and experience, but I didn't have much stability and never fit in anywhere that I went. I would have been fine staying in France the whole time.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

I was born in Chivaniac, France, to Vivienne Severin, and her husband, Raoul. Before me were my older brothers, Mikael and Texas, and then shortly after my sister, Emmaline, was born. The four of us were in the United States before I even had time to remember what the countryside of France looked like. We lived in New Orleans for a period of time before I ended up in New York. In New Orleans, it was me on my own, running the streets late at night, just going on my own adventures. Once we ended up on Long Island, though, it was much different. It was smaller, and there was very little to do.

Eventually, we ended up in Manchester, because my parents wanted me to attend Hogwarts as they did. When I started my first year, I had little social skills, because I didn't have a childhood which taught me that. But soon enough, I was making friends, granted a prefect position, and found my voice. These days I run the Headliner, am a chaser for Slytherin, and am actively wreaking havoc on everyone.

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a superpower, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

I guess I would like to maybe be a bit stronger?

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

I would want to know how others feel about me. I don't run on opinions or anything, but it would be funny to see how others perceive me.

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

I do everything I want to do. There's no time not to.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Getting EiC, easily.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Loyalty. No use in not having someone's back if you claim to be sticking by them.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

The day Mikey, Tex, and I bought Rosalie.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

Getting hit in the ribs by a bludger and thinking I was going to die.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

No, because I already do whatever I want, whenever I want. I'm not holding anything back. I think I could die satisfied. But maybe I'd drop out of school so that I have more time.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

In some cases, everything.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

I don't know. I like attention, but not necessarily praise. I really don't know.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

Pfft, nothing. Not very humble. But, maybe honestly, how good of a friend she is. Nothing else, though. In Alexx's eyes, she's good at everything and everyone should know.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

Not close, and not happy. End of story.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

What relationship?

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

We trust one another, we have too many dumb inside jokes, we act like we hate one another but definitely don't.

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

I wish I had someone with whom I could share my past with.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

I don't like anyone younger than me.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

OOC: You seem very nice.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

I have no shame, nothing embarrassed me. But maybe having a few typos in some articles.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

Last year, when I was leaving Hogwarts for the summer. By myself... On my birthday.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

She has pretty hair.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Injustice.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I would regret telling Reid "thank you" for taking care of Douglas. Haven't told him yet because we haven't spoken much.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My broom, definitely. They're not cheep.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

My oldest brother, Mikey. He's taken care of me all my life. It would be hard to see him die.

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Go with your gut. Hold nothing back. Do what feels right. Decisions will be hard to make, but in the end they have to be done.

How to I mend bridges that I've burnt?

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Uhm probably my owl Eiryk cause he's my friend and I dunno how to make food for people and he knows how to catch his own.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Maybe a famous hippogriff whisper or something..

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

Yeah or else I start rambling and I sound really childish..

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

Walking through a forest or swimming. Something relaxing with not a lot of people if possible.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

I can't sing, but I do like to hum and I think Eiryk appreciates it, I can't tell he may be severely judging me in his head too..

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Mind probably because I could pretend to be clueless while I actually am smart I think..

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Probably stupidly because my heart is too big.. I try to be brave but that doesn't always end up too well.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

Chaos, chocolate and cuddles cause who doesn't like that? Besides some icky Slytherins with no taste or emotions..

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

The fact that my mom is able to recover from uh.. a past unfortunate scenario

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Learned more about the muggle world. My mom homeschooled me about the wizarding world and I tended to get bullied because I always said the wrong things. I also struggled with being social.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

Oh boy.. uhm I'm a half-blood. Muggle dad and mum's a witch. He's nice and pretty clueless and my mom is pretty and smart, quite a weird match but hey it was love at first sight. Then I came along, I had no social skills, got bullied, my mom got shot by a muggle, I got mad, sad, traumatized and then a few months later I went to Howarts. That's as much description you are getting without it getting sad, had to keep it a little light and sarcastic heh..

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

I don't know.. I'm pretty happy the way I am. Oh maybe I wish I could dance cause the ball was so embarrassing with my date..

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

Will I be happy? It's as simple as that, I don't want to know how, I just want to be happy. Or maybe if I get to own a hippogriff when I'm older that'd be cool to know.

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

Owning a hippogriff petting zoo, duh but I can't do it cause I'm too young and it's also illegal I think?

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Getting set on fire and not dying. That was cool.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Independence and Humor. A clingy person is just as bad as a really loyal buddy and without humor gosh that'd be super awkward.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

My first Quidditch match. I thought I was gonna pass out, it was fun even though I didn't score a goal and to make it better we won! Go Hufflepuff!

18. What is your most terrible memory?

My mom getting shot by a muggle when I was younger. Still can hear the trigger and the scream that left my lips as the bullet impaled her shoulder.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I'd be nicer to everyone and try my best but also cause as much chaos as I can without getting into too much trouble. Live your life to the fullest especially if you only have a year left!

20. What does friendship mean to you?

A person is putting their heart and soul or at least a little bit of interest and trust in you. It's a special bond.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

They are horrible, I always get flustered and then run away like an idiot.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

My sarcasm, hair and the house I got sorted into I guess?

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

We are a close family, my dad tries to understand me so there is that effort and my childhood was rough but it's okay everyone's is.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

Very close and if I did loose her that day I would still be recovering right now. Life would be a lot tougher for me.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

Who says I have a best friend? I guess 1. we both have lots of sarcasm 2. we like butterbeer and uh 3. we piss each other off to no end but I think that's what makes us close

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

my emotions with, becuase I tend to always bottle them up.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

My past affects me a lot. I try too look past it and lock it away but I need to learn to open up more and not shut everything and everyone around me down.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

You seem like a very determined and lively person, just a nice person to hang around.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

I climbed trees when I was younger, then fell out of one and now I'm scared to climb them ever again.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

Uhm, when the accident in the Hufflepuff common room happened. It was quite scary but I tried to be strong.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

They are so bold and nothing phases them.

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Death of a loved one.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

That they mean a lot to me. I don't have a lot of friends but the ones I do, I am close with.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

A childhood memory, or maybe a blanket.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

My mother. She has had multiple near death experiences but she is a strong woman.

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Try to reach out to them, whoever they may be slowly. Don't pressure them and have an open mind.

How do you become more confident in yourself?

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

"Oh thats easy. Schrödinger. Though I'm not sure if anyone would be too fond of me bringing him to the dinner table."

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

"I can't say I do... though I like to play with the thought. I feel like I will be famous though, but not for good reasons." She would like to be famous, since she wants to be adored and accepted in some way. Dangerous desires for someone like her. Right now she is unfortunately going down a criminal career path, so she might end up being famous due to something negative. Though if she ever goes to the movies (cough, someone take her to see the movies) she might want to take on acting, and try to make it to the silver screen. It is also likely that she ends up famous due to her appearance and Metamorphmagus abilities. But who knows.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

"No. I see no point in doing so, since people on the other side of the conversation can sometimes be unpredictable. Imagine spending the time rehearsing something, but then the person you are talking with completely derails the conversation, so you are unable to say what you were rehearsing. What do you do then? You don't know because you spent all your time trying to think of what to say. How embarrassing."

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

"A day where I don't have anything to worry about, would do just fine. But that wont be happening anytime soon."

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

"I sing to Schrödinger, before its time for him to go to sleep. But only if Aurelia is out of the room. I don't think Schrödinger particularly cares, but I enjoy singing to him." She has a love for song, and dance but she is not open about it.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

"Depends. If we are talking about having the body of a thirty-year-old in terms of health, then I would have that over mind. A healthy body is a healthy mind. But in terms of appearance? I would rather maintain a young mind, considering I can look like whoever I want to be."

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

"Sometimes I think I do. The thought lingers over me like a sword of Damocles."

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

"It would appear that we both consider ourselves loyal, as well as stubborn. We also seem to enjoy some alone time."

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

"Being alive. This is a cruel world, but I can't imagine what I would do if I was dead."

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

"I don't have many thoughts about how I was raised. I just wished my parents were around more often during my childhood. They travel a lot."

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

"I'm afraid it isn't too interesting. Or important for that matter. So perhaps another time."

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

"I wish I was pretty. Thats all."

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

"I would like to know what happened to the little hufflepuff Rosie Turner. You probably don't care. And thats okay. They didn't either. Though on a lighter note, I would like a peek into my future."

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

"Oh why, I have lots of dreams... I believe there is a right time, and place for carrying out such dreams."

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

"You know... I'm not too sure. I don't think I've accomplished much if I'm being honest. Well, nothing note-worthy that is."

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Honesty. Being true. Acceptance. Kindness can get you a long ways, but it is nothing when compared to honesty. I would much rather have a truthful, and accepting friend, than a kind one.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

"Any memory that concerned my friends and I, are treasured ones. I think my favorite though, was a time where we spent the afternoon making snowmen, while discussing mysteries of the school. The conversation topic wasn't exactly pleasant, but making snowmen with them was so much fun. I'd give anything to have more memories like that."

18. What is your most terrible memory?

"Oh... I have too many to choose from. In fact I think they outweigh the good. I think my worst memory was the late realization that I could have prevented something, before it happened. I won't go in detail."

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

"Well if I knew I was dying in one year, I don't think my way of living would change much. I think my time would be taken up with funeral arrangements and preparations. Course... I would like to live a bit on the edge once the funeral planning is out of the way I suppose."

20. What does friendship mean to you?

"I'm not sure. I'm still getting used to the whole friend thing." Everything. It means everything to her.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

"I'm not sure what to think of such things." She is terrified of the concept of love; often denying when signs are shown, and is usually flighty when any sort of affection is displayed. She'll get over it, she just needs a bit of time and coaxing.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

She likes very little about herself. The only thing she would probably admit to liking, is her sense of fashion. And perhaps that she is a good listener.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

"I guess we are... close. Close enough. My parents were absent during some of my childhood. I am very close with my sister. Was it happy? Sure. We'll go with that." Her childhood was very lonely.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

"I suppose its like any other mother-daughter relationship. She loves me, and I admire and love her very much. She is my mother after all. She brought me into this world, and she could just as easily take me out of it." She generally gets along with both parents, since she is eager to please them. She just wishes they were closer if anything.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

"We both enjoy a good book. We both have a unquenchable thirst for knowledge. We are not afraid to get our hand a little dirty, to obtain said knowledge."

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

"Hm. The other half of this sandwich..." She just wants someone she can share everything with- including sandwiches; without the risk of being judged, or thought lowly of.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

"I'm not in the pink." Another thing that they would need to know is that she is a kleptomaniac, and has a tenancy to hoard small, useless objects. But she wouldn't outright admit to it.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

This is OOC since our OC's don't know each other. I truly love working with you Annie! You are very funny, and relatable. I admire your bluntness as well. I am glad that you are a part of this community.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

"Hm. I had a bucket of vomit dumped on me. It was a horrible experience. Made me feel pathetic."

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

"I'm not sure. I sometimes cry in my sleep."

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

"I don't exactly have a 'worst enemy'. There are those that I dislike. I suppose their ability to completely disregard ones feelings or safety, without thinking is a nice thing to have. Must be nice to be unable to think about potential outcomes. Their inability to think makes me jealous."

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

"It depends. But I tend to think lowly of those that try to make light of something that isn't meant to be- so I suppose tragedies. Don't joke about tragedies."

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

"If I didn't tell someone something, there was a reason for doing so. My secrets will die with me. And without any regrets." She would probably regret not telling her friends that they were important to her.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

"My silverware collection! I have been building it up for years!" She's a material girl.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

"My sister I suppose. She was my best friend for a long while. Still is. I would feel horrible if something were to ever happen to her."

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

Oh boy. I should not be giving this advice IC. But here we go. "You have to learn to like yourself. What are your good qualities? Not sure about your good qualities, then what is something people often compliment you on? What draws people towards you? Once you have that figured out, confidence comes easy. But, if all else fails, act."

"I sometimes have a hard time admitting to, well, anything. How do I fix this before I hurt someone, or myself for that matter?"

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Wow...this is a loaded question! I guess I would probably say my dad. If we can bring people back from the dead.

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Honestly, no. Being famous might be cool, but you don't have any private life and everyone is always trying to find out about you and prying into your business. If I had to be famous though I'd want it to be for doing something that helps out others.

3. Before making a telephone call/wizarding equivalent, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

Of course! I wouldn't want to mess up what I was going to say when the call actually happens so I write some notes down beforehand so I remember what I'm supposed to be saying. That's only if it's a really important all though.

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

A perfect day for me would be a day with some nice weather...I would get to spend the day with my friends relaxing and they'd all be happy and not fighting. I would introduce them to my family too! That would be a lot of fun.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

Honestly, I hum to myself a lot so it was probably fairly recently that I sang to myself. The last time I sang in front of someone else though was probably at the memorial service Ami and I had for our friend Kyden. We sang some tribute songs to him, it was really nice.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Probably the mind; it would be too sad to forget all of my family and friends. Even if I couldn't walk anywhere, at least I would know who they were.

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

No. Honestly I try not to think about death that much.

8. Name three things you and the person who responded before you appear to have in common.

I don't know her that well but it seems like we both would choose a healthy mind over body, we're both very loyal, and we value honesty in friendships.

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

I am grateful for every single day that I have on this planet and for all of my wonderful family and friends that I get to spend those days with.

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

I don't think I would change anything about it; my childhood was lovely and I loved being able to spend so much time with my family all the time being homeschooled. Maybe I would have liked to go to an actual school for a longer amount of time, but I feel like my social skills haven't been hindered too much by that. I enjoyed growing up along with my sister and my cousin; we became really close and they are my best friends.

11. Take a paragraph or two and tell your life story in as much detail as possible.

Oh wow okay. So I was born on June 17th in London. My family lived in a fairly big apartment in London for a long time. My aunt and my cousin live with us as well, so it was always pretty crowded in our apartment but it was never an issue. I went to actual school until fourth grade when I was pulled out to be homeschooled. I had my first magical instance when I was eight, I think, and it was really weird since I didn't know what it was - I'm Muggle born. Then I got my Hogwarts letter and have been at Hogwarts for the past three years. During that time a lot has changed in my home life. My parents got divorced and my mom lives in Camberley now, and um. Recently. Um. My father passed away. Um. And that's about it.

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability (NOT a super power, like, a regular human ability), what would it be?

I would want to be able to easily have conversations with people. Maybe it was because I was homeschooled but I feel so awkward having conversations with people that I don't know well, and I have such bad social anxiety that it kind of makes me nervous even thinking about it.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

I would want to know if I ended up happy. If I am happy in life with all of my choices.

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

I feel like I'm trying to push myself out of my shell more...ever since um. The stuff happened at the beginning of the year I feel like a lot of the progress I've made totally went backward so I'm trying to get that progress back.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

Wow...I don't even know. Maybe surviving being on fire all of those times. Or surviving the rats in the passageways.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

Honesty, loyalty, kindness. And they have to put in the effort to the friendship. I guess I have a lot of standards for my friends...but I'd rather have just a few really good friends than a bunch of people that I'm friendly with but not close with.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

I think the memories I have of growing up with my whole family; we were all so happy.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

When I found out that my father had passed away.

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I would try to live more fearlessly. I feel like my fear or my anxiety stops me a lot of the time from doing things that a lot of my peers do but I think that I am trying to do better which is good.

20. What does friendship mean to you?

Friends are the people that you care about and that care about you and are always there for you no matter what.

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

Well no romantic love or affection but I obviously have a lot of love for all of my family members and my friends.

22. Name three things your character would have a hard time admitting that they like about themselves.

She would definitely have a hard time admitting that she doesn't hate the new person she's turning into, that she is stronger than she thinks she is, and that she doesn't always have to be the person that people go to for help, she can ask for the help too.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

I was definitely blessed with a really good childhood compared to many others. My parents were still together at that point and everything was great. I feel like my family is pretty close, but obviously it isn't perfect.

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

I love my mom so much! She is such a strong person and I really admire her for everything.

25. Make three true “we” statements about you and your character's best friend

We are complete opposites personality wise but we look pretty much exactly the same. We have become so close during the past three years. We often go on crazy adventures that usually end in disaster.

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”

I wish I had someone with whom I could share everything with I guess? Well I suppose I have someone I guess. I don't know.

27. If you were going to become a close friend with the person who posted before you, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

I'm really quiet and shy when I first meet people...I don't really like people that are rude or think they're better than everyone else and I hate when people sugarcoat things. Just get straight to the point.

28. Tell the person who posted before you what you like about them (if your characters don't know each other IC, you can say something you OoC like about the character before you); be very honest.

Our characters don't know each other IC but if Amadea did know Xailah, she would probably admire how she values friendships just as much as Amadea does; they both associate their friends with when they are the happiest.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

Uhhh I've ran into so many different people accidentally. Maybe I should stop running.

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

In front of someone? Probably when I was greeting everyone at our tent. By myself...I don't know. Not that long ago I guess.

31. What's something you like about your worst enemy?

I try not to hold grudges or hate people but I don't think there's anything about Ruby Cazares that I like. The girl hexed me all because I accidentally bumped into her in the corridors. I was about to hand her back her books and the girl HEXED ME!

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Anything about death or mental health or stuff like that I guess. When people joke like 'oh I'm going to go jump off a bridge' you know? That stuff shouldn't be taken lightly.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I don't know...I would probably just regret not telling my friends and family how much I love them. Obviously they know but like maybe I should express it more often to them.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

My letters. Because they're all I have left.

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most upsetting? Why?

I don't think there would be one over another that I would find more upsetting. I would be horribly traumatized if my mother passed away anytime soon...then my sister and I would be orphans.

36. Give advice to the person above you for their problem in question 36. Then, state your own problem for the person who posts after you to give you advice on.

I would say write it down first, maybe? It always helps me to write it down first if you can't admit it out loud. Even though it sounds kind of stupid it's like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders and it's nice; once you write it down maybe it will help you accept things.

For my problem, I guess I feel guilty a lot talking about my feelings and problems to my friends? I feel like I'm burdening them and I don't want them to worry about me; I'd rather be the one helping them than them having to worry about me.
