  Each Wizarding World Aspect represents the most noteworthy thing that happened to your character in a previous year. They can lean positive, like, ''Named Head Boy'' or they could lean negative like, ''Lost The Big Quidditch Match Singlehandedly''. Even something like ''My Mother Was A Deatheater'' can be used for good invokes and compels. First year students should start with one aspect, while returning students should start with 2.

==Character Background==
−
 
+
In addition to whatever description you choose to put here, your character's background should endeavor to answer the following questions:
−
'''Dunstan Rosier''', 5th year Slytherin.
+
−
"When people hear my last name, they usually pause for a moment to wonder if I'm related to that ''other'' Rosier. Well, it depends: do you mean my grandfather, who died in the First Wizarding War fighting on the, erm, other side? Or my uncle who survived the war only to get creamed by Mad-Eye Moody? Sometimes a very old witch is thinking of my great-aunt, who was thick as thieves with a certain Grindelwald -- and then there's my cousin Felix, who made Prefect and is a disgusting little swot.
+
'''What was I doing during the Battle of Hogwarts''' (two years prior)'''?''' Were you at the school at all? Did you participate? What side of the conflict were you on?
−
 
+
−
For my part, I'm best known for persuading my fellow young Slytherins to hide in their rooms and eat up my chocolates during the Battle of Hogwarts, which might have saved some lives but gave me a certain reputation...I think of it as a quiet sort of heroism, not the noisy Gryffyndor kind...
+
'''What was my focus before the battle?''' What were your favorite classes/things to learn? What did you see yourself doing after school was finally over?
−
What side of the battle was I on? The ''winning'' side, my dear boy. Look, you can come out and say it, I'm quite aware everyone thinks I'm the so-called Third Rose and I'm just waiting for the next Dark Lord to come along so I can get his tattoo across my phiz and start doing beastly things, but doesn't that sound like an awful lot of work? I don't expect I'm going to live all that long anyway on account of the curse, so why bother. The Rosier Curse... it's a dreadful burden, don't try to make me feel better, you'll only put yourself at risk, well, perhaps you could let me see your History of Magic notes... that would make me feel a ''little'' better...
+
−
 
+
'''What is my focus in the aftermath of the battle?''' It has been two years since the battle. How did it change or temper your answers to the question above? How has it affected how you move forward as a witch or wizard?
−
What do you mean, you haven't heard of the Rosier Curse? It's right there in the Pure-Blood Directory by Augustus Knott, they've got a copy in the library. Look, pure-blood is all right to say, it's the ''other'' thing that we don't say anymore, and my blood is of the purest and bluest strain imaginable... it's so boring... think of all the teas I've had to sit through in the parlors of the other Sacred Twenty-Eight Families, all the gossip I've overheard while playing with chocolate frogs and wizard cards, all the speculation about who's in and who's out, who's gone dark and who's bound for Azkaban... To be completely honest, I envy anyone who's muggleborn and doesn't have to think about such things. No, I'm destined for an early grave, preferably after a quick and painless death. That's much better than the alternative, believe me. Now, about those History of Magic notes....
+
−
 
+
'''Who are my parents/guardians, and what (if any) is their place in the wizarding world?''' Are you pureblood, *mudblood, or are the details of your ancestry uncertain? Is either of your parents muggleborn? Both? Is their knowledge of the wizarding world a new thing or something they're steeped in? Or have they been made to forget?
 +
 +
*Note: ''This pejorative term is now officially designated as hate speech and strictly not tolerated in the school.''

−
Divination (trying to understand his own family prophecy makes it more interesting)
 
−
Care of Magical Creatures (half the time the creatures run away and you get to lie about in the grass until the teacher brings it back, the perfect class)

Note: You can also make up an extra-curricular class of your own devising if you prefer and we'll say it's a thing this year.
