Because pondering on irrelevant character questions is exactly what I do at 2am! Basically these are all a bunch of headcanons and questions that you could totally add to the "Others" section of your profile, but even if you don't, I want to know the answers because I enjoy hearing things about other people's characters

1. Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
   
   
2. Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
   
   
3. Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
   
   
4. Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
   
   
5. What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
   
   
6. How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
   
   
7. Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
   
   
8. What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
   
   
9. For characters living in "Elsewhere" without specification, do they live in a city flat, town-home, or a country home?
   
   
10. For your male characters: would they ever wish for their parents/older brother(s) to die so they could inherit?
    
    
11. What's your character's greatest insecurity?

I LOVE THESE TYPES OF POSTS

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
-> Beef, medium well. A safe choice.

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
-> Definitely the latter rather than the former.

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
-> Probably the latter again, but later in life he studies muggle cartographic advancements with fervor.

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
-> Maps and exploration news? Yes. Everything else? Not really.

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
-> At this point, he'd rather be married to anyone who isn't Phoebe. He doesn't really have an 'ideal' partner, though--friendship-wise he likes people who aren't too loud, are reasonably intelligent, and don't mind too much his impediment.

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
-> If Livia: probably would keep his distance, though still discreetly follow her on her activities. If his brother: let him be.

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
-> I imagine Phoebe would hate it, but their shared bedroom has a large writing desk in the corner with a shelf full of writing supplies, measuring instruments, and rolls of parchment. He also wanted to hang a few of his prized collection in the room, but ultimately decided against it.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Either floo network or his carriage (charmed and pulled by horses from robust stock, of course.)

For your male characters: would they ever wish for their parents/older brother(s) to die so they could inherit?
He IS the older brother, so -\o/-

What's your character's greatest insecurity?
Even if he's used to it, even accepting at points, his cluttering. Deeper in his subconscious? His lack of any attraction towards anyone (except his wife because it's PHOEBE guys).

  

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?  Pork

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it? As a single woman whose constantly giving everyone the run around, she over thinks everything. The devil is in the details and she is his playmate.

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world? Aside from learning gravity the old fashion way i.e. falling out of a tree, her education was pretty rudimentary: reading, writing, arithmetic. Aside from that nothing much about muggles, time was spent practicing an art or doing chores.

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?  Her only means of news from the muggle world would be through the wizarding media, other than that it's a blind and rather distrustful eye.

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)? A man who has no desire to marry her or contractually own her, doesn't ask questions about the oddities between  her and her "brother," and comes to her aid whenever she may have need or want of him. In other words a friend with benefits.

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib? She doesn't know of her biological parents, aside from the fact that her mother was in all probability a veela. However, as far as what is left of her adoptive family: a squib she wouldn't care, a muggle would feel like a betrayal of her tiny trust.

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class? Her room is pretty divided between her side and, "Phil's" side which she takes great pains to make look genuine. Aside from that it looks a bit like a gypsy caravan with a few pictures of various burnt conditions, reminiscent of her days traveling in The Golden Spectacle. There are no pictures of her and "Phil" together though.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation? Foot, everything else requires money at some point (buying a broom, buying floo powder, paying a taxi cabby) and apparition can lead to unpleasant surprises.

For characters living in "Elsewhere" without specification, do they live in a city flat, town-home, or a country home? N/A

For your male characters: would they ever wish for their parents/older brother(s) to die so they could inherit?  N/A

What's your character's greatest insecurity? Oddly enough her beauty from being Half Veela. She lives in a world where women are considered second class and hold few rights. More so she is not well to do and exists among the working class. This means she is a target to men who are not accustom to hearing or listening to the word, "No," and in the court of law there is little to aid in her defense.  Hence another reason why she only goes out as "Phil" because as a half Veela it's not a matter of if she will be pursued but rather when, and it's likely not to result in her favor.

  

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
Probably poultry—not as rich as some of the others, so less likely to make her sick from it. Being a servant, she's hardly likely to get ~fancier meats with any regularity!

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
Plan-based things she thinks through as much as she can (or she tries to, at least!), but Imogen has never been much for over-analyzing and introspection.  Doing is much more fun.

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
LOL no #minimallearning

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
Doesn't affect her, so why would she? If she overhears something that might be useful, Imogen mentally files it away for later, but she doesn't seek out information about muggles and their happenings.

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
TBD!

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
What's the Victorian equivalent of "you do you"?

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
Her side of the room is probably quite sparse with just the provided furnishings and maybe a book or two.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Two feet and a heartbeat; Knight Bus for long-distances. Floo risks a "paper trail" and she hasn't learned to apparate.

For characters living in "Elsewhere" without specification, do they live in a city flat, town-home, or a country home?

For your male characters: would they ever wish for their parents/older brother(s) to die so they could inherit?

What's your character's greatest insecurity?
That she might be cast aside by her found family as easily as she was taken in.

— Schemes are afoot!

Graphics by MJ —

1. Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?

Beef, cause she can never afford it. Sear it for thirty seconds on both sides. Then devour it.

2. Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?

Kanon thinks she has bigger things to worry about. What’s the use in pondering something you’ll likely never know the answer to?

3. Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?

Pfft – Kanon didn’t have an education. Her momma was too sick for that jazz.

4. Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?

Blind eye. I think Kanon’s that person who spends all day on their laptop in the coffee shop, and if you even try to approach them they’ll bite your head off. She’s a very self-centered person, just not in a vain sort of way.

5. what is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?

I don’t think Kanon considers this often. Definitely not often enough to know what kind of person would be her ideal partner. Knowing her, it would be someone so kind, she simply couldn’t be mean to them. You know, the type that would make her feel bad because they’re just so nice.

6. How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?

Firstly, what family? Secondly, who cares?

7. Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?

I would say that Kanon’s room is trashed. Like, everything is broken and scattered on the floor kind of trashed. I could also imagine her practicing her English on the walls. Parchment ain’t cheap you know.

8. What is your character's preferred method of transportation?

Walking. No wand, remember?

9. What's your character's greatest insecurity?

Her struggle with the English language. Though she never gets embarrassed because of it, she is known to throw fits of rage.

  

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
I'll say poultry because she's giving me the vibe that she doesn't like overly fatty meats.

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
I'd say she's not an overthinker in the sense of "omg does X person like me?"

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
Since the Lestranges are purist, I'd assume that she was taught magical things. Any muggle history would be terribly propagandized anti muggle.

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
She don't care about them muggles.

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
Someone intelligent, ambitious and ruthless. She dislikes anyone meek without ambition.

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
Disown them.

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
I would say is a very basic upper class girl bedroom. I just now decided that she has a mini walk in library.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Portkey for now, apparition when she gets her license.

What's your character's greatest insecurity?
I can't think of one omg. I'm sure she has one, it's just not the "her nose" kind.

  

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
I'll say beef, but modern!Ruby would totally be an Instagram vegan.

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
Yep.

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
I would say yes.

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
She's aware of major things happening but she doesn't follow muggle news too closely. She'd know if a royal died or something, though.

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
She wants a prince Charming, someone who will "rescue" her. So someone who accepts her no matter what and is funny and chivalrous and his entire life purpose is to make her happy.

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
She'd be cool with that, though she'd personally think that it would limit them a lot, because there's a lot of things about wizard culture that muggles couldn't grasp.

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
I imagine she shares a room with her sisters, so probably not.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Floo.

What's your character's greatest insecurity?
That she is who she is. Ruby haaaates herself right now and thinks that her entire existence is wrong. I sometimes feel sad writing her tbh, I want her to start loving herself mooore. But it definitely makes her an interesting character to write and it makes me look objectively at how harsh I can be on myself. For example, she hates herself for being good in art and Divination instead of advanced Transfiguration, which I can relate to because I'm sometimes like "why are you good in history and philosophy instead of engineering you loser". So I view her as a kinda psychoanalytic character for me. I really want her to meet someone who will help her get away from her negative loop. The Victorian version of a self help author or something. xD

Beef

2. Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
A little of both.

3. Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
Rhych is muggleborn and left school early in life.

4. Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
Rhych is too interested in the newish world he has entered. He is interested in his studies.

5. What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
Rhych is still too young to think in terms of ideal partners. But he realizes he is more attracted in guys than he is in girls.

6. How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
Rhych is muggleborn and an orphan. So he really wouldn’t care.

7. Is there anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
Rhych’s bedroom is a room in an orphanage, the Gelasius Home for Special Children, or his dorm room at Hogwarts. He is muggleborn, so no it wouldn’t be odd except possibly to the wizarding world.

8. What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Rhych loves flying on his broom. He also likes the Hogwarts Express.

9. For characters living in "Elsewhere" without specification, do they live in a city flat, town-home, or a country home?
N/A

N/A. Rhych is an orphan.

11. What's your character's greatest insecurity?
Rhych likes Hogwarts very much. While he’s taking students’ belongings from them, he doesn’t know what would happen to him if he was kicked out of the school.

  

Which is your character's favorite: beef, pork, poultry, ham, venison, lamb?
Probably pork.

Does your character tend to overthink things (i.e. wonder why their patronus is their patronus) or do they just accept everything without questioning it?
More of a doer than a thinker so tends to veer towards accepting things without questioning.

Was your character educated in muggle history and sciences as a youth, or did their parents have them learn only things that would be relevant to them in the magical world?
They educated themself because reading and learning about the world through books was one of the only escapes of an isolated childhood.

Do your characters keep up with the regular happenings of the muggle world, or do they turn a blind eye to it?
They barely keep up with happenings in the magical world xD

What is your character's "ideal" partner, if they so desire one? What traits do they specifically dislike (barring "stat-like" traits like blood status)?
They're super attracted to Arven so rugged, roguish, adventurer sorts? xD Someone that wasn't at least a little curious about the world around them would make for a very poor romantic partner.

How would your character react if a family member married a muggle or a squib?
Accept it, doesn't have any problems with muggles or squibs.

Is their anything particularly notable/odd about your character's bedroom? Do they decorate it strangely, or does it look like what you'd imagine being the "norm" for their class?
There's a ton of books, maps of all sorts scattered about, random paintings and drawings on the walls. Think Rapunzels tower in Tangled except Victorian Era and not quite as dismal.

What is your character's preferred method of transportation?
Uses apparition for the most part but enjoys walking if its possible!

For characters living in "Elsewhere" without specification, do they live in a city flat, town-home, or a country home?
A country home with a vast forest surrounding. Very isolated.

For your male characters: would they ever wish for their parents/older brother(s) to die so they could inherit?
Not at all.

What's your character's greatest insecurity?
That no one will ever truly love them just as they are. Especially if they find out that true about their gender identity and the fact that they are, in actuality, both Robin and Dove.
