The Open-Ended Questions


A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)


1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

Danijela is relaxed, honest, and friendly, not participating in negative drama. It's better to stay out of it and mind her own business. Yet she is also lazy and quiet, which keeps her from being a successful student and socializer.

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why?

Merlin, she is eleven years old! Happiness alongside her siblings is key to her. However, Danijela generally doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. Maybe she will end up playing professional Quidditch someday, but who knows?

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

Napping, for sure. Danijela seems permanently tired, because she is. With plenty of sleep disorders, she doesn't get much sleep during the night, at least none that's really beneficial to her health. Whenever she gets the time, she likes to just sit down and close her eyes, even if she can't get some REM sleep.

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

In the move, Danijela lost a few of her belongings, plus they decided to leave quite a few things in Croatia. If anything, she would like to just keep her wand and a photo album of childhood pictures, because that's all of the possessions (besides necessities) that she would need.

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

Danijela doesn't care. Let society progress as it will, but she doesn't have the energy or the focus to go campaigning for everything to change. Nothing seems to be necessarily immediate, so give it a little bit of a break.

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

Danijela doesn't really know. So far, she hasn't heard that much about Hogwarts to know what all of the houses are and what all of the houses mean. Surprise her.

The Character's Background


1) Give a description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (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!)

Danijela is quite relaxed, seeing no need to be ridiculously excitable. Staying mellow with low energy is her sort of thing. Normally, she lets other people steal the spotlight, remaining the silent one in the background. It keeps her sane, killing whatever egomaniac nature she might get if she starts becoming welcomed and known. Sure, almost everybody is familiar with her back home, but she doesn't bring that to England and especially not Hogwarts.

Work just never gets done by Danijela, neglected and piled up under her bed. Her potential is high, but she's never applied herself to her schooling. It's her lazy, bored nature that gets her down. In all honesty, she would much rather draw or sleep in class and mess with her friends than conform to being this perfect little student. Her schooling comes second, perhaps third, for her after her family and her own transparency.

Danijela values honesty, transparency, and loyalty, which she prides herself on sticking to. Secrets aren't her strong suit, but she certainly tries her best to handle them the right way. If people hurt her, she normally nods and shrugs it off, because it really couldn't hurt her any less. Don't try to hurt anybody else though, because whether she knows them or not and likes them or not, she will come for you. Notably, she's really crappy under pressure, so she might just run to a professor or parent about it.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (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!)

Dmitar Martin Tesla was born to the lavish Croatian line of the Tesla family. Why her parents, Zoran and Lena Tesla, decided to keep the surname of a famous inventor was mind boggling to her. At least by the 2020's and 2030's, people stopped caring more and more as new people with wilder inventions came to light. However, in Croatia, it was a little different. Although not necessarily tossed into the spotlight, they were still an incredibly popular family in their country and Dmitar took well to it.

He had two older brothers named ___ and ___, an older sister named Pythia, and a younger brother named Adrijan. Often she found himself sticking by the sides of one of her older siblings, making them drag her along for the ride. Generally, she was quite close to all of her siblings in some regard, because she really wanted to be. It was always her biggest fear that her siblings would push her aside, so she fought to have some sort of bond with all of them. It worked well enough when they were younger, but things got foggy as they got older and attended school.

When she was a younger child, they started to feel uncomfortable in their boyish body. It made them squirm and nauseous at the sight of what they looked like. Her parents were quite progressive, which meant that coming out as a transgender female wasn't such a dramatic, extreme event for their family. It startled them, for sure, but they did everything to get her what she needed. In a couple of years, she was Danijela Marinka Tesla, a flourishing young girl.

Her first signs of magic were boring, at least to her standards. For most of her childhood, her cuts and other ailments healed much quicker than what would be normal for a regular human being. Most plants flourished around her, even if they had been dry and parched moments prior. It was just little things like that that hinted at her magical presence. Nothing dramatic happened with shattered glass or flying books, but it was a magical sign nonetheless.

When she turned eleven years old, she was invited to attend Durmstrang Institute. It excited her, knowing she would soon be attending school alongside her other siblings. However, she would not be attending school alongside them at Durmstrang, but instead at Hogwarts, since her family was moving to England that same month. It was an exciting move, although there wasn't much fun to packing and unpacking, not to mention redecorating their new house. Upon arriving at Hogwarts for her first day, she was sorted into ___.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here!

Her face claim is Millie Bobby Brown.

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

She is a Pure-Blood.

5) 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 a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

She is quite ordinary.

6) What year is your character in?

She is a First Year.


OOC Questions


C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!


1) Is this your first character?

A. This is my first character.
B. No, this is not my first character.


2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?

Hufflepuff crest The Sorting Hat has placed Danijela Tesla into Hufflepuff!


"You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil."
