Pick any character(s), past or present, andup to three however the heck many you want of the below, I will answer:
1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?
2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?
3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?
4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?
5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale?
6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.
7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?
8.) Day of Favorites! What’s your character’s favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?
9.) Who does your character trust?
10.) Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.

LET THE ALLY TRAIN KEEP ON ROLLIN pt 2
An ostrich. Because he looks like one.
12.) How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?
He’s young enough that he’s super hip to whatever cool new technology is hitting the markets now. But being a wizard, he’s going to be kinda behind the times overall, so he’s probably just super advanced for magic land.
13.) What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?
Sheets tangled around one leg, the other leg like three-quarters of the way off the bed, face down in a pillow that he’s probably squeezing like it’s a teddy bear. And he’s drooling on it.
14.) How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?
He complains so much. Like, with heat he’ll bitch and moan and dump water on his head constantly. With cold he’ll put on like 80 layers of clothing, or shiver and whine.
15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?
He’s kind of both. He’s one of those annoying fucks who wakes up at like 5 AM to go for a run, and then he comes home, crashes back out until he has to be somewhere, then stays up crazy late because that’s when THE FUN STUFF HAPPENS.
16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, etc. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?
Nah, he’s mostly really close with Maddy and his parents. Since everyone but Maddy is a Muggle, he has to have this whole separate life story when dealing with the distant relatives, and he’s just like, fine, whatever, we’ll just talk about sports at family reunions and end up having a huge argument about football teams. And he would totally tell people Meaghan was LIKE a sister to him, but he wouldn’t actually list her as a sister or anything. Basically just a SUPES CLOSE BUDDYFRIEND.
17.) What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?
I will interpret this as his gym bag or locker, and they are both a fucking mess. He doesn’t wash things until someone yells at him about it, he hucks shit in his bag or his locker and lets them get all piled up. If he steps in dog shit, he’ll probably have it on his uniform the next day and be like, “Why does this smell like shit? SO WEIRD.”
18.) Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not?
HE IS A GREAT COOK. He and Maddy are both work a little kitchen magic, but their philosophies are completely different. Maddy’s all, “GOTTA DO THE COOKING BY THE BOOK!” and Ally’s like, “OR JUST THROW ALL THE TASTY THINGS IN A POT AND MAKE IT BETTER!” He makes a badass mac & cheese with hot dogs, bacon, bread crumbs, broccoli (to make it HEALTHY) and just...other ridiculously indulgent stuff. Feta cheese and shit.
19.) What’s your character’s preferred means of travel?
He likes to drive, which isn’t super feasible when you’re magic and have to travel all over the country to see people and go to work and shit. But his dad is a bus driver, and teaching him to drive was something they could ~bond~ over, and Ally was a teenager and wanted a male role model and a relationship with his parents even though he only got to see them a few months out of the year.
20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?
Ummmm I don’t know actually? He’s somewhat superstitious, but that’s not really a fear. I think he should really be more afraid of things.
