Name: Melissa
Age (must be at least thirteen): 21
Describe your personality positively in five words: Friendly, quick-witted, open-minded, giving, perceptive.
Describe your personality negatively in five words: Lazy, crude, irresponsible, stubborn, secretive.
Strengths (talents, skills, etc.): Communication in any form (includes debate, conversation, writing, and singing), intellectual curiosity and ease with learning when motivated, drawing people out and making them feel at ease, supporting others in a crisis, making people laugh.
Weaknesses (anywhere you feel you need improvement): Laziness, a tendancy to avoid responsibility, not trusting people enough to tell them certain things, being too stubborn, being too loud or crude with dirty jokes and cussing, running away from things that scare or sadden me, letting apathy dominate my life when I should be forcing myself to move forward.
In your opinion, what are some of the most important qualities a person should have?: Honestly, what I love best about people is that they're all different. Each person has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. So I admire many qualities.
Some of your pet peeves: Arrogance, condescension, people who choose to hold grudges or talk behind your back instead of confronting you when they have an issue, people who are overly-sensitive and touchy, prejudice.
Would you like to stamped as a female character, male character, or either?: Either is fine!
Which magical ability would you most like to have?: The ability to manipulate time.
Which house do you think you would be sorted into and why?: Hmmm... probably Ravenclaw because I love to learn!
Which characters do you like and why?: Remus. Though he has weaknesses, he's kind and intelligent. Very internal, which I love. Sirius because he had a big heart, for better or worse. Quick to hurt back when he was hurt, but genuinely good. He represents freedom for me whereas Remus represents security. Snape because he was so well written. Such a complex man. I think JKR did her best work with his character arc.
Which characters don't you like and why?: Umbridge for obvious reasons. She was intolerant and annoying. Fudge because he was a coward. Molly Weasley because I found her narrow-minded, stifling, and selfish in some ways.
