The Personality
Emotional Disposition: Irritated
Core Value: Odd
Positive Characteristics: She likes helping people, if you can call it helping. Cornelia likes to think of herself as a role model. She's quite driven, though not necessarily for the right purposes.
Negative Characteristics: Cornelia can be impatient with people, which often hinders her attempts to make them see their errors. When she thinks she can get away with it, Cornelia likes to boss people about because she isn't allowed to boss anybody at home. She daydreams a lot.
Conflict and hardship: Cornelia doesn't have many struggles in her life. She mostly struggles with her parents and brother over having to mind the shop.
Motivation, Passion and Drive: Cornelia wants to be the best at everything she tries. If there's an award up for grabs, she wants to win it. She has a very competitive nature.
Motto or catchphrase:
Overall personality: Cornelia is a bright and vibrant person, though she is quite eccentric too. Whether she's a good friend or not is unknown, for she has no friends in her home town. Occasionally, Cornelia feels left out because of that, but usually she's able to convince herself she doesn't care.
Diary Entry:
Today Emily and Jane Burke came in. Spoke very loudly about the gentlemen they saw in London. Emily very kindly (that is she sounded kind but meant it meanly) asked if I have ever been to London. Had to lye and say no. Then they started talking about wether I will marry a sailor or die an old maid. They wood be astonished if they new I will be happy to be an old maid!

Specific Questions for Halfbloods:
Who in your family knows about the magical world? As both of Cornelia's parents are halfblood, everyone in her immediate family knows about the wizarding world.
What explanation is given to the muggles in your family about your long absences while you are at Hogwarts? None is needed.
How does your family combine muggle and magical elements, is your house obviously magical or do you keep stuff hidden? Because people from the town sometimes come into the house, most magical things are kept hidden.
Has you character always known they were magical or did they worry they were a squib? Cornelia doesn't really know what a squib is, so there was no reason for her to worry about that.
Does your character have any strong feelings (good or bad) about magic or is it just part of their life? Sometimes, Cornelia wonders how muggles cope without magic, but she doesn't really have strong feelings about it.
Student Skills:
School Ethic: Cornelia has never been to a real school before. She learnt from her parents and occasionally from the nuns up at the abbey. She doesn't really know what to expect from a proper school.
Teacher Relation: How Cornelia acts around teachers depends on the teacher. If she thinks they'd like her to suck up, she probably will. Sometimes her smart mouth will probably get in the way, though.
Work Ethic and Diligence: Cornelia is likely to work hard, but to treat her belongings with little regard. They'll probably need to be replaced each year. She writes quickly if the words are ones she knows, but takes longer and is likely to misspell complicated words. She has neat, printed handwriting.
Subjects: Cornelia likes instant gratification. She would enjoy subjects like charms, transfiguration and defense against the dark arts, where she can dive right in to the spells and test them out on her classmates.
Where don't you want to be: Ravenclaw because she would worry that she would be the dumbest.
Sadie can be too, I'm sure...
