another eager student seeks entry to Hogwarts...
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?There needs to be more global understanding. People need to take it upon themselves to learn more about not only other cultures, but who they truly are themselves. The world needs to remember that scientific studies and exploration is the key to our future.
What makes a person respectable?Class and intelligence. The ability to walk into a room and understand any conversation going on. The ability to work yourself into any conversation without being obtrusive. Manners are key. If one does not have even the basic of manners they will be unable to function in a respectable society.
What do you look for in a friend?Humor and charm are key in any relationship, but the most important thing is intelligence. Brazen humor has it's place I'm sure, but true comedy lies in wit. But intelligence is not only needed there but in any conversation. They could be the nicest person I've ever met but if I cannot hold an intelligent conversation with them on any subject, then how far can that relationship truly go?
What are your hobbies?Studying music, astronomy, reading, writing, learning new techniques to apply to my graphic design skills.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? I've given money to Nature based charities.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish?Graduating from College. It has been my life long dream to go to a higher level academy, be it private university, state college or vocational school. In high school I always knew that I would excel more than I ever had before once I reached college, and now that I am so close to accomplishing my dream, I can think of nothing else.
Who is your role model?It's not really just one person but the whole of NASA. I love space, you see. I remember as a child I would bundle up in warm clothes and go outside to look at the stars. That led quickly to my love of studying star maps and knowing everything I could about the heavens.
What trait most annoys you about other people?Stupidity. I would say ignorance but I don't think that truly reaches the feeling I'm trying to convey. You can be ignorant to a certain fact, but you have the capacity to learn and understand it. If you are cursed with stupidity then you neither have the desire nor willingness to learn and understand the things around you.
What do you want to do for a living?Graphic Designer. I love to create things from nothing, or to take what has already been done and improve upon it in some way.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do?I would use the knowledge I had gained to that point in my life, to help my friend. Should my skills and knowledge be lacking in the area needed, I would quickly search out the nearest person who had the ability to help both my friend and myself.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason?If it were to save someone I cared for or perhaps to save myself, yes, I could see myself performing and Unforgivable Curse. Would I ever use that knowledge to harm someone without any just cause? Never.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?My intelligence, wit, my ability to understand any given situation and to see it from all sides, my creativity, and my curiosity. Some say that curiosity killed the cat, but they forget that satisfaction brought it back.
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to certain things. Though that can be both a strength and a weakness. At times I can over analyzes things. I can focus to long on a certain subject. At times my emotions can get the better of me. And there are times when I have been known to shut the world out.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Courage is the ability to step away from yourself and do what's right, no matter the consequence.
Loyalty: To stand by your friends and loved ones no matter what may come.
Intelligence: Being insightful, knowledgeable. Knowing how the world works. Seeing things and understanding things when others may find it difficult.

Name: Kat
Age: 23
What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.) Slytherin, because I do not have the cold ambition that seems to drive them.
Where did you find out about us? lenabee, she's my roommate.
