The Introduction
1. What is your name, and what do you prefer to be called? My name is Charlotte, and I prefer to be called Charli*Ann. I have been called Charli*Ann for about five years now.
2. How old are you? 17

4. Choosing one character from the following list, explain what house (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin) you think they would have been in and why. (Cornelius Fudge, Amos Diggory, Gilderoy Lockhart, Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Rufus Scrimgeour, Rita Skeeter) I think Rita would have been in Slytherin. She has that ambition to get what she wants, when she wants it, and to not let others stand in her way. It makes her kind of a twit, but she is also very driven, and I think Slytherin's have a lot of that.
5. What character do you most relate to? It used to be that I related most to Hermione. In my first years of high school, my friends even called me Hermione. I was one of those really smart kinds that always knew the answer and never broke the rules. I'm still like her in the way that I'm smart, don't like to be in trouble, and I'm loyal, but now I believe I'm most like Lavender. I'm very into boys and mystical things. And I love Ron... I've been stamped as Lavender in a few stamping communities around the net.
6. Choose one aspect of the story as told by Rowling that you dislike, and tell us how you would change it. (Please avoid the subjects of romance and shipping.) Oh gosh... I don't really think I can answer this. I didn't like Harry's moodiness in the fifth book... I would have made him a little less angry... but I think JKR knows what she's doing, and anything I would change will probably prove to be very important later.
The Person
7. If you could put a memory in a pensieve for the specific purpose of viewing it later, what would it be and why? My entire last summer, but especially the three days I spent on the beach with a group of my friends. We went with my best friend's parents, and had campsites, beach bonfires, swimming, tanning... we played beach volleyball and made drip castles, and my boyfriend (at the time) and I caught two crabs while we were playing on the beach. It was just generally a good time and I wish I would relive it, or at least have it on film or something.
8. What are three traits that define you? How has each trait had positive impact and negative impact on your life? 1.) I am energetic. This is good because I always have energy and am always up to try new things. It's bad because when I burn out, I burn out incredibly fast and hard, and I tend to annoy people. 2.) I am friendly. I have millions of friends, and they all trust and love me. However, some people tend to walk all over me or use me in some way, and because I am nice, I sometimes let them. 3.) I'm confident. I can do anything if I put my mind to it. But I am also arrogent in that way. I'm very big on myself. I know I'm not the best deep down, but I'm pretty concided. At lease I can admit it.
9. What is one specific thing that you have never done but strongly wish to do sometime in your life? Swim with the dolphins. I can't swim, but I want to learn, so I can play with those beautiful animals. I also want to be a lead in a play/movie, because I am an actress, and I want to be good enough to carry a show.
The World
10. What is your biggest pet peeve and why? People who don't believe you or who won't listen. It's so frustrating, I just want to hit them!
11. Describe the people you admire most. What do they have in common with each other? How are they different? I admire all of my firends for differnet reasons. They are all unique and have strong personalities. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
12. How do you think people see you? Does the person you show to the public differ from the person you are on the inside? Explain. People see me in one of two ways. They either see me as a young and annoying crazy girl, or a trustworthy and spunky peer. I believe I am both on the inside and outside. I am trustworthy and spunky, but I have a Peter Pan complex, and I can definitly annoy people if I'm in a really crazy mood.
The Community
13. What do you believe you bring to this community? My charm. ;D
14. Which hybrid house do you believe you are the most like? Make a case for and a case against your placement there. I honestly have no idea where I should go. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to say because some people might place me there just because I said something about it.
15. Which hybrid house do you believe you are the least like? Make a case for and a case against your placement there. See above.
Thank you!
