GENERAL

NAME: Names on the character roster are set in stone. We may allow name changes on a case-by-case basis, i.e. not for anyone who has an important role such as prefect or Quidditch player, or changing the surname to match the ethnicity of your POC character. Contact us before submitting your app and explain why you want to change the name, and what you want it changed to.

CONCEPT: imaginative bibliophile and daydreamer sees Indiana Jones in every history textbook"

PHYSICAL

APPEARANCE: OPTIONAL. If there's anything about them that's not immediately obvious from their icons that you'd like to make sure we know, please do so here. You can also describe your character's style of dress, i.e. how they wear their uniform and what they wear when out of uniform.

HEIGHT: It can differ from their PB.

PB: Please choose a PB that looks age appropriate and has a wide range of facial expressions. As a general rule, stay away from musicians, models, and anyone in their late 20's or older. If you think your choice may be an exception, you can discuss it with us when you hold the PB. Additionally, Gooseberry likes to allow its students to express themselves, which means PBs with piercings and dyed hair are acceptable.

PERSONALITY

LIKES:

DISLIKES:

PERSONALITY:

Minimum three paragraphs. Please address how they behave, how they think, and what motivates them. What first impression do they give? What are the differences between how they treat friends, strangers and authority figures? How do they handle their problems? What are their major character flaws and weaknesses?

HISTORY

FAMILY MEMBERS:

List the names and occupations of your character's parents, siblings and other notable relatives.

HISTORY:

Outline their family background, childhood, early schooling, Hogwarts history (for exchange students), and previous years at Gooseberry High. (There are four years at GH, with students typically starting school in freshman year.) North American students are likely to have gone to a local wizarding school or a boarding school like Ilvermorny before entering Gooseberry.

Keep in mind that Gooseberry Alternative High School seeks young wizards with remarkable talent or achievements (be it in academics, arts, sports, community leadership, etc). This does not mean your character must be some kind of genius, but please consider addressing how they were accepted to Gooseberry. (There are of course some students who got in thanks to money or family connections.)

SCHOOL

YEAR: Sophomore (Grade 10), Junior (Grade 11) or Senior (Grade 12)
HOUSE: For exchange students, please note their Hogwarts house here as well.
SORTING: Why do they fit into their house? (If you want to go into more detail, feel free to describe how their Sorting went, and whether or not they were almost put into a different house.)
WAND: As there are multiple celebrated wandmakers to be found in the Americas, your student may have a wand with a non-Ollivanders wood or core.
FAMILIAR: Any indoor pet that does not need a large cage is appropriate (owls are the exception, and are housed in the owlery). Common choices are owls, cats, rats, toads, hamsters, small birds (including crows/ravens/hawks, but not eagles), and small snakes.

CLASSES: See here for what classes are offered. Students typically take 4-6 core classes and 2-4 elective classes, and at most one advanced study. Students may take more or less depending on interests or academic ambition. All advanced study classes are extremely demanding. A class load of more than 8 is considered challenging. Please list your classes instead of linking to a timetable, it helps the mods out.
SENIOR PROJECT: What is their senior project? Depending on what year they're in, this can either be the one they're working on, or the one they're currently hoping to do. Saying they have no idea is a valid answer, but the clock is ticking for seniors!
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: How are they doing in school? What's their favourite and least favourite classes?

EXTRACURRICULARS: See here for a list of clubs and activities. Please note that slots for reserve Quidditch players and cheerleaders are first-come first-serve, and can be checked here.
