First and Last Name: Ashton Harris

Bloodline: Muggleborn
Hair Color: Dirty Blond
Eye Color: Dark Brown
General Build: Petite
Height: Average

Birthplace: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Brief Childhood History:
      Ashton’s muggle parents came from money and enjoy traveling. He often would travel with them until he started school where he was left with caring nannies. He frequently receives post cards from them, even after beginning his schooling at Hogwarts the family purchased an owl to correspond through.
      Throughout his childhood he would often take home stray animals caring for them and enjoyed working in his family’s greenhouse. Ashton grew up a quiet and shy boy. He had few friends but was a very happy child.  Ashton's parents really do love him but neither of them really know how to be a parent.
     Around his eleventh birthday Ashton had begun to exhibit signs of accidental magic, His parents and he were quite shocked when his letter arrived. After getting in contact with Hogwarts his family decided that it would be an excellent to just embrace his magic even if they are all a little frightened.
 

Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
Ashton is skilled in Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures; because he has experience working with muggle plants and animals Aston even enjoys working with the new magical plants and animals. He is polite and obedient child raised to have the utmost trust in authority figures. Ashton is a wonderful listener and learns better through lectures than reading.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):
Defense Against the Dark Arts and is rather hard for him due to his nonviolent nature. His Wandwork and is poor even for a first year because of his unfamiliarity with the existence of a wand. Ashton is shy and socially reserved due because of having few friends growing up. Ashton has never attended a boarding school, and the only time he really traveled was with his parents so he is quite scared of the aspect of being alone. He has very little knowledge of magic due to his muggle upbringing.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why:
 Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Ashton really doesn't have the guts to be in Gryffindor he doesn't have it in him and even for an eleven year old he just isn't very brave. Slytherin would be terrible for him he really doesn't have the ambition or the strength to use people. He does love reading and learning Ravenclaw would be a studios environment that he would do really well in. Hufflepuff would be my first choice for him. Aston needs to make friends and Hufflepuff would be a wonderful place for him to grow in.

Hi there! Welcome to HPRPG!

Before we can get you sorted, there are just a few things to attend to.

One of the rules for the site is that all children must have been born and raised in the UK or Ireland. What you have right now is fine, but perhaps you could get more vague about the whole 'growing up in hotels around the world' bit? Maybe something more along the lines of living and growing up in the UK but often traveling with his parents would be better worded. ;)

Your strengths and weaknesses also need to be written into a paragraph format, instead of a list. And while Dueling is not a class, Ashton can skill be weak with his wand work if you want.

Once you've done that, just change the title from 'pending' to 'edited'!

I know you've taken it out of a literal list, but it's still fairly list-like. Give us a bit more detail about his strengths and weaknesses rather than just naming three. Why is he quiet (which you also have as a weakness), caring, and obedient? Additionally, his three weaknesses are all the same or extremely similar: quiet, shy, easily frightened, and timid. Everyone has more than one weakness- is there anything else?

Also, you still have Dueling listed and it still isn't a class. :lol: Please change that to either embody wandwork in general or chose another class weakness.

You know the drill with the title. :biglove:
