Derek CHAN
14-TURNING-15 18 OCTOBER 2004 STUDENT HOGWARTS/SLYTHERIN/4TH YEAR HALF-BLOOD PENDLE, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND | PERSONALITY: Derek doesn’t smile much, he saves his smiles for the people cares about, mainly his sister. He takes his responsibility seriously, trying his hardest even at the age of fifteen to get everything right. He’s a bit of a perfectionist. It’s all in an effort to make Elisa’s life easier and try to shelter her from all the hardships in the world as long as he could. He had to mature at a young age to deal with the responsibilities his mother couldn’t handle because of her condition. In which, he can be considered callous and demanding when he’s around other people, but he really doesn’t mean to hurt anyone. Derek had to learn to be tough to protect his sister, and it just comes off as being cold but his demeanor changes when he finally becomes friends with the other person and he becomes a little more laid back. He’s very protective of his friends and family. He doesn’t like to be the center of attention, but it doesn’t scare him to be in the spotlight. He’d rather do things to help other people under the radar. He doesn’t need recognition for his good deeds that come quietly for the people he cares about. ASPIRATION: Derek still doesn’t have much of an idea of what he wants to do when he graduates. He hopes that he could continue to be a good student in school, while still taking care of his younger sister. Derek is a protector, but he doesn’t know if he’d go into a Ministry job. He’d rather do things on the sidelines, but nothing like vigilante tactics. Perhaps he’d just work at a shop or something? | LIKES: his younger sister, the people he befriends, helping people under the radar, trying to get everything correct, going to social events, the cold weather, exploring, reading books, people watching DISLIKES: his mother’s episodes, the heat, losing, being the center of attention, being wrong, his impulsivity when he gets upset, sitting alone for long periods of time, his father for being mostly absent in his life |

CHILDHOOD. | Derek was the first born child of this side of the Chai family, he had one year of a happy childhood before his mother gave birth to his younger sister, Elisa. It was around that time when their mother began showing signs of epilepsy. He wasn’t sure what to do without his mother’s constant guidance. It was a tough first few years before Derek finally was old enough to walk and understand more of what he should probably do around the house to help his mother. It was even worse when his father began to become more like the absentee parent in the house, out until late in the evenings. Around the age of six years old, almost seven, Derek had taken more responsibilities around the house with the help of his mother. He would help her clean the house, do the laundry, and even do the dishes. Other greater responsibilities were too much for him still, but he would still attempt to help in an attempt to learn how to do it. Greatly improving his determination and devotion to help his family, especially his younger sister that he helped trying to keep away from any hardships in her life. This was around the time where his perfectionist traits were starting to be formed. They only grew more with the years that went by. It was like that for the next five years, only Derek gaining more responsibility around the house as he grew up. His eleventh birthday came around, and he actually debated whether to rescind the invitation to go to Hogwarts, but his aunts decided to step up and take care of Elisa while he was away. That made him feel better, but that didn’t stop him from worrying. However, the decision had helped him accept the invitation to go away to school. It would only be a year, and perhaps his sister would join him in the school next year. |
YEAR 01. | The train ride was coming to an end, and Derek was still thinking about Elisa. The entire train ride, he spent mostly reading a book to himself, not really thinking about making any friends at that time. Not even as they were riding the small, self rowing boats across the lake. He finally stopped feeling so anxious about leaving his sister behind when he got to the school and they were all herded into the Great Hall to be sorted into their houses. He sat down in the stool as soon as his name was called, and unlike some of the others it took a minute for the hat to call out, ”SLYTHERIN!” After taking a seat at his respective table, the boy enjoyed a wonderful feast and went back to his dorm room to write a letter to his sister. Most of the year, he kept to himself just focusing on getting through his classes. It felt like the year had gone by quickly. |
YEAR 02. | The next year, Elisa joined him in Hogwarts as he’d expected and he helped her navigating the school. When she was sorted into the same house, Slytherin, Derek was elated to be able to see her more often by being in the same house with his sister. He saw how some siblings were separated and they couldn’t see each other quite as often anymore. This year, unlike the last, Derek took the time to explore the castle and tried to find any of the rumored secret passageways. The eldest Chan sibling continued with his studies, and working to protect his younger sister from anyone that might want to bully her for coming from a different type of family. Everything was pretty similar to the first year he had, except for the presence of Elisa this time. Time moved fast, still. |
YEAR 03. | He was finally able to pick his electives in his third year, and Derek was quick to pick Healing and Care of Magical Creatures. Those were the two most important classes that he wanted to look into, but he also chose to add flying into the mix because he loved feeling the cool breeze on his face when he was in the air. Though he wasn’t really someone that would want to join the quidditch team, he didn’t feel like it would be such a bad idea when he was older and closer to graduation. That way he was stronger like the other players on the team. He was still as studious as ever, and while he was mostly in the library studying, Derek would make time to spend with his younger sister. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Elizabeth was the third born child in the Kingston family. She has a twin sister that she’s never met before because at the time of her birth, since her father hadn’t been there to see the twins, her mother gave Evangeline to her sister to care for, hoping that she could save at least one of her children from the ways of her controlling husband. When she was younger, Elizabeth was always looking up to her father, thinking he was always making the sacrifices to care for the family, when he was only taking credit for Giselle’s sacrifices in life. Lizzie was told over and over again by her older siblings, Calliope and Garrett, that it was all their mother trying to look after them, but the blonde always saw her father doing the things they said their mother was doing. She’d done everything in her power to make her father proud, and is still trying to make him proud of her.
After another three years, Elizabeth was finally going to be an older sister. At first, she’d been excited about it, but when she realized most of her parents’ attention had been set on the little one, she began to act out. She’d always been the princess of the family, and now the attention was going elsewhere. It got to the point where Lizzie got upset when her older brother had taken one of her favorite toys and threatened to break it, which she then took matters into her own hands and quite literally attacked him. Not that it did much damage since the four year old couldn’t do much to hurt her older brother, but her parents figured that she should learn to take her anger out on something other than a family member and put her in martial arts and gymnastics lessons so she wouldn’t have a chance to attack her brother again in the future.
Her father, Noel, then began to start paying more attention to her and guided her more often toward the more negative side of doing things. Meanwhile, her mother continued to send her to different lessons to keep Elizabeth occupied when she wasn’t in school or doing homework. She learned how to bake and roller skate with the extra time on her hands over the years. When she finally turned eleven years old, Lizzie finally received her letter to Hogwarts and she knew there was no reason for her to debate whether to go or not, she was following in her father’s footsteps. However, on the day of her departure from the train station, only her mother and younger sister had come to the station to bid her farewell for the year. Her father was nowhere in sight.
