Sma New Student Orientation

1. What subjects are you naturally inclined to or excel at or like?

Showy subjects like Charms and Transfiguration, where I can do fancy spells and transformations for my adoring fans.

More complex subjects like Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, subjects that challenge me.

Competitive extra curricular activities are more my thing, but Muggle Studies also interests me - Muggles are pretty interesting.

More intense subjects like Defense Against the Dark Arts - I have a penchant for wanting to protect and defend. Chivalry isn't dead, you know.

Practical arts that have more of a routine or method to them like Potions and memorizing things like in History of Magic - I do have an excellent memory.

I like to look to other powers and the sky, so Astronomy or Divination is more up my alley.

2. So, conversely, what subjects do you tend to do poorly in or not like?

I don't like the more practical subjects like Potions or History of Magic.

I believe Divination to be very wooly, impractical branches of magic.

More explorative subjects such as Muggle Studies really don't appeal to me - I'm more concerned with personal matters.

More linear subjects lose me, like History of Magic - I'd rather not memorise overall very dull facts about those that have past. I am more concerned with my present.

I don't do well with celestial, up-in-the-air subjects like Astronomy.

Potions is too dull and predictable for me - too routine.

3. What colors do you gravitate toward?

I like very earthy tones, like browns or beiges.

I'm partial to light pastels and white.

I like splashes of yellow and red.

More calming, subdued blues and seagreens.

Royal purple or a shiny silver, like armor.

More greens - lively colors, you know.

4. Pick three words that best describe you.

Changeable, inventive, aloof.

Passionate, attention-seeking, dramatic.

Reliable, trustworthy, empathetic.

Calm, intuitive, composed.

Gallant, righteous, rigid.

Competitive, ambitious, understanding.

5. You have found out recently that your great aunt left you more than a shiny penny in inheritance - what do you do with your newly acquired (and very large) sum of money?

I donate it to help the less fortunate.

I save half for a rainy day and spend the other half on a global excursion!

I pay off any debts, primarily, while saving a large portion of it and then purchase some more luxurious items with the rest.

I store it into a savings account right away - you never know what could happen.

I spend it on things I've always wanted!

I give a large portion to my family (or family who did not get anything from my great aunt) - after all, they're my roots and without them I'd be nothing - and then I put the rest into CDs so they accumulate interest so I have even more money down the line.

6. A friend of yours hands you a small plastic toy that seems difficult to solve and challenges you to solve it - what do you do with the toy?

I comply quietly and take on the challenge - I don't like to pass up opportunities to flex my wits. I solve it with innate intuition in a short time.

I hastily accept and if I couldn't figure it out, I'd get pretty upset but if I did solve it, I'd probably gloat.

I take the toy and cooly assure my friend that I could solve it easily, and I do. After all, I'm always right.

I take the challenge with a gleam of competition in my eyes and attempt solving it. If I do solve it with unparalleled determination, no matter how long it takes.

I snatch the toy away and fiddle with it in a relaxed but happy manner - games are fun, win or lose!

I accept the toy slowly and solve it in time, working on it bit by bit. "Slow and steady wins the race," after all.

7. At school, you can often be found doing what when out of class?

Playing sports or having little contests with my friends - I just can't say no to a challenge.

Well, I definitely don't hang around the same old spots every day - I like exploring the campus the best, seeing all I can see.

I'd be found helping other students by tutoring, helping new students to get places around campus, or keeping to myself when not doing that.

I like to read or find a nice quiet place to just think.

Well, whatever I'm doing, you can be sure the majority of the school is watching. I like to put myself out there - I'm a firestarter, what can I say?

Playing mind games like Chess or maybe a nice game of cards, as well. The brain is a muscle that needs to be worked out, as well.

8. What animal do you best identify with?

A wolf - part of a pack and loyal to that pack, but hard-working and taking care of myself, too.

A large, strong bear - having a predictable lifestyle and somewhat lumbering, but misunderstood and frightening when angered.

The majestic lion - this animal is the King of Beasts, as so I am in my circle of friends. The don't call 'em the "King" for nothing!

That's easy - a bird. Being carefree up in the air like that, being able to travel easily to wherever you desired... that's the life.

Something adaptable and intelligent, like a rat. Rats are identified as being animals with plenty of cunning and are incredibly resourceful.

An animal that have piercing eyes and a reserved attitude, though strong, like a hawk.

9. Several years ago, someone stole your wallet from you and was never caught. Now this person is a changed, better soul but has been arrested for stealing. You can prove this person innocent - what do you do?

I do not hesitate to help because I believe in their good intentions, especially with the evidence that I can prove them innocent. They are obviously a better person now.

It makes sense to give a second chance, so I'll help the guy out since they're obviously innocent. But if something were to happen to them afterwards, that's karma.

I would deliberate on it, but probably end up helping them since they're innocent this time.

I would help them, but only because this time they are innocent. Afterwards though, I would demand payment, as it is my right since they stole from me years ago.

I would offer to help them if they agreed on paying back what they owed. Fair is far.

No! They did me wrong those years ago and now, obviously they are about to pay for it. Teaches them for stealing!
