Newton Mariner

[Newton Mariner]

Application for Hogwarts School

→ CHARACTER INFORMATION.

Name: Newton "Newt" James Mariner

Birthday: 8 June 1938

Hometown: Manchester, England

Bloodline:
Pureblood

Magical Strength (pick one):
Transfiguration

Magical Weakness (pick one):
Conjuring & Summoning

Year (pick two): First (preferred), Second

Biography:
A thing about me: NEVER call me Newt. I absolutely cannot stand it. I'd rather be punched - in the face - than be called that.

My older sister, Kaya, calls me Newt, so I guess that explains why I hate it so much. She's not the nicest person to me.

She's probably just jealous that Mummy and Daddy like me better. It's alright, though, because she's still my sister and I have to love her.

Anyway, I'm going off to Hogwarts next term. You're probably wondering, "So what?"

Well, my greatest fear is that I'll be sorted into Slytherin. My whole family has been in the house, but I just don't think I belong. I suppose I'll see when I get there.

Wish me luck.

→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Slytherin (he doesn't think he belongs here, but he really does), Gryffindor would work too c:

Personality: Newton is naive (he's only 11 after all) and usually quiet and gloomy, but he also has a bad temper when he's angry. He does have a slight feeling of superiority due to his pureblood status (it's how he was raised), but he tries his very best to treat others equally.

Appearance: Newt looks his age and is of middling height. His hair is sometimes a light brown and at other times a dark dirty blond, while his eyes are a pale blue-green. The resemblance between him and his sister is unidentifiable - they don't really look alike at all. While his looks are sweet his sister's are icy and cold.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Why had he ever decided to go down to the dungeons? The weather was fine outdoors and there were things to do and people to meet. But Newton supposed, deep down, there was a little nagging curiosity that tugged him there.

He had heard all the stories about Emma Birch, and he wanted to know if her spirit lurked down there still...somehow. It was something for which he had a reasonable amount of doubt, but you just never knew, especially here in a place of such magic.

The dungeons were cold and damp to the core. A brief touch of Newton's hand to the wall showed that the wet permeated everything. He shuddered.

Why was everything so deathly still? Newton stopped in his tracks and looked about him. Nothing.

Then suddenly, a ghostly voice that seemed to be saying, "H-h-hello?" Newton drew in a deep breath. If Emma Birch's ghost were here, he didn't want it to find him.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?" The voice was a girl's and couldn't have been a ghost's. Why would she be asking about herself? If that was another student, Newton desperately wanted to find her.

He took a few steps backward, "Who is it?" His voice echoed off the dank walls, reverberating back into his own ears.

It was deadly silent until Newt felt his back touch something else that wasn't a wall, letting out a scream that he would be ashamed to have anyone else hear.

He turned to find a young girl who looked just as terrified as he was, except she wasn't the one who'd screamed like a banshee. "Merlin! You scared me!"

Newton paused to catch his breath. "What are you doing down here anyway?"

Hey there Newt!

This is looking really good so far! I just have a couple things I would like to touch base on before we accept him! Mostly I was just hoping I could hear a bit more in Newt's biography-- it really helps the sorting hat decide where your character gets placed.

For instance, when you say Newt's sister isn't the nicest to him, why is that? What does she do (or not do) that makes Newt think that about her? You also say that Newt thinks that his mom and dad like him better than her-- what do they do to show that? Do they buy him more things? Do they not punish him for things that Kaya would if she had done them? Do they praise him more? There is also a bit about Newt being terrified being placed in Slytherin-- why does Newt think he's different than the rest of his family?

Once you've made the changes, please reply below with the entire revised application and we will be happy to take another look! Thanks!

A thing about me: NEVER call me Newt. I absolutely cannot stand it. I'd rather be punched - in the face - than be called that.

My older sister, Kaya, calls me Newt, so I guess that explains why I hate it so much. She's not the nicest person to me. She usually doesn't reply when I talk to her. She never buys me anything I want. And when she does talk to me she's usually screaming, because I "did something" to her favorite shoes. I have to admit I did once put glue on the soles of a pair of her shoes, and I'll never get to hear the ends of that.

She's probably just jealous that Mummy and Daddy like me better. Kaya is always complaining that they put more attention on me: I get all the presents, I get all the praise, I'm never yelled at by them. It's alright, though, because she's still my sister and I have to love her.

Anyway, I'm going off to Hogwarts next term. You're probably wondering, "So what?"

Well, my greatest fear is that I'll be sorted into Slytherin. My whole family has been in the house, but I just don't think I belong. I really try to be nice to muggle-borns and half bloods(the rest of my family not so much) and I'm really not that ambitious or cunning, though only time will tell. AND I have an unrelenting fear of snakes. I suppose I'll see when I get there.

Wish me luck.
