In possession of a sharp mind and wit, Primrose is no slouch in the academic department. Though it should noted that she is not only book smart, despite all appearances. She's highly perceptive as a result of her need to keep tabs on just about everything and everyone around her. While she isn't one to gossip, she certainly has a tendency to "accidentally" overhear hushed conversations not meant for her ears. If there's something to be found out, Primrose relishes in being the one to figure it out. "Information Is All" as she likes to think... and it can be a very powerful tool if utilized correctly. Some may think of her as callous for her willingness to hold a proverbial Sword of Damocles over the heads of others, but when you dwell in a house of serpents, you have to make sure you're ''never'' the vulnerable one. And yes, she ''is'' a Prefect, so watch your tongue.

"Character Quote"

High Concept

A Forward-Thinking Witch

More than anything, Primrose has her sights set straight-ahead. While one can indeed learn from the past, that certainly doesn't mean they should absolutely wallow in it. Those who get stuck in such antiquated concepts such as "tradition" are usually too narrow-minded to see the benefits of change. And really, that is what Primrose desires most: Change. She witnessed with with her mother, who used to be under the thumb of her family, but broke free upon marrying her father. Sure, she fell out of favor in certain circles, but she held her head high and soldiered onward. It's because of her mother's strength that Primrose is determined to make her own way in this post-Voldemort world. And Merlin help anyone who stands in her way.

This aspect sums up your character in a short, punchy phrase, such as The Boy Who Lived, Smartest Girl In The Room or Working Class Wizard.

School Aspect

A Savvy Slytherin Prefect

In possession of a sharp mind and wit, Primrose is no slouch in the academic department. Though it should noted that she is not only book smart, despite all appearances. She's highly perceptive as a result of her need to keep tabs on just about everything and everyone around her. While she isn't one to gossip, she certainly has a tendency to "accidentally" overhear hushed conversations not meant for her ears. If there's something to be found out, Primrose relishes in being the one to figure it out. "Information Is All" as she likes to think... and it can be a very powerful tool if utilized correctly. Some may think of her as callous for her willingness to hold a proverbial Sword of Damocles over the heads of others, but when you dwell in a house of serpents, you have to make sure you're never the vulnerable one. And yes, she is a Prefect, so watch your tongue.

This sums up not just what house or school your character is, but your relationship to it, such as Reluctant Slytherin or World Famous Beauxbaton Duelist. 

Note: Our story takes place at Hogwarts, but characters may be returning Hogwarts students or may be there on exchange from another wizarding school. Exchange students will still be sorted into one of the four Hogwarts' Houses for the year.

Wizarding World Aspects

A Mourning Sister

The Battle of Hogwarts was not without its casualties. One of them was Primrose's older brother Oleander. While she herself didn't participate in the fight, he did, being the loyal Hufflepuff he was. As such she harbors some guilt over not being present even though it was Oleander who encouraged her to leave the school, viewing her as too young to take part. It's very much still a sore spot for her -- a wound that never fully healed -- and is perhaps the one true flaw in her emotional defenses. Her parents have made it clear that there was nothing she could've done lest she would've perished as well, though that doesn't completely absolve her from any fault in her own eyes. The one thing she's done as an attempt to "make amends" has been to join the Dueling Club which Oleander himself was part of. It's the best way to honor his memory...

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. 

As returning students, you will each be starting with two Wizarding World Aspects.

Character Background

In addition to whatever description you choose to put here, your character's background should endeavor to answer the following questions:

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?

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 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?

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.

Extra Curricular Classes

Choose two classes beyond the Core Curriculum from the following list: Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, Study of Ancient Runes.

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.
