“I-,” Mary started, her voice shaky and hesitant. Almost inaudible she continued, gulped before finally speaking up again “I got hurt before, no worries.” She looked towards Marlene, then James, then all her other teammates, before returning her gaze to Madam Pomfrey. The Hospital Wing had been fairly empty except herself and the many visitors around her bed. With a weak smile Mary greeted every single one of them. “It’s just a broken bone. It will grow back stronger. Like everything else after a trauma,” everyone else, she reminded herself. She’d endured a mental trauma before, and, as she stared into the eyes of defeat, Mary realized the only thing she needed to survive was strength, friendship and the inability to ever give up. Equipped with the heart of a lioness, a true Gryffindor, even the littlest can produce the mightiest roars. One day these demons will turn into power, until then: survive, each day, grow, learn, thrive -- and you will start loving yourself again.

… forced to choose between saving your best friend or yourself, what would your choice be?
his friends, there’s no question about it. he’d rather save his friend rather than having to go one day without them knowing he could have done something in order to prevent it. sure, his friends would be upset afterwards, possibly angry for doing something so selfish, but he would honestly rather them have another shot at life instead of him.
… trapped on a deserted island, who would you want to have with you?
out of all of his friends, it would have to be lily. not that he doesn’t love his marauders, he really does. but he and lily get along well, and she would certainly be more resourceful. when the two of them combined their minds, they could easily find a way off the island and back to their friends with no problem.
… able to turn back time and given the chance to change one thing, would you?
remus considers this all the time about the night that he was attacked by fenrir greyback. it changed his life forever, and he never saw it as something other than a burden, a curse, a malady. his father was the same way. what if he had just kept his opinion to himself instead of going public? what if he had just left it alone? that way, his only child wouldn’t have this curse that was only because of him. remus hates the fact that he’s a werewolf, and he probably always will. but he wouldn’t change it. it gave him some of the best friends he could ever ask for.
… able to see the future, would you try to change it, or let it happen as it should?
god, if he saw his future as well as his friends’ fate, he’d desperately want to change it. he can’t even imagine one day without his best friends, and now? they’re all dead in a war that doesn’t make any sense, one is wrongfully imprisoned, the other betrayed everything they were trying to protect. and then remus is alone, for years thinking that his best friend helped betray his others. seeing that would bring poor remus tears until he realized what to do. and even though he wants to, he probably would leave it alone. because if it didn’t happen then, it would end up happening eventually and potentially ten times worse. if he let it happen as it should, he would end up spending more time with those he loved and cherishing that time more.

what’s your character’s myers-briggs personality type?
infp⎯⎯ the mediator.
the mediator is one who looks for the good in all people, an idealist. principles are what guide them, and morality is one of the most important characteristics in remus’s eyes. he never looks for a reward for his actions, he truly does things out of the goodness of his heart.
however, the mediator does have weaknesses, one that is especially prominent in remus. he’s too damn nice. he doesn’t care for his own well-being most days, always putting other people above himself. it doesn’t matter how little sleep remus gets, he wants to be there for people, too much so sometimes.
what’s your character’s alignment?
lawful good.
the lawful good character is a combination of honor and compassion, and remus acts with both of those on a day to day basis. as someone who was appointed as a prefect in his fifth year and responsible for keeping the marauders in line, he’s used to having to follow the rules and trying to make sure that everyone’s okay and taken care of. lawful good is driven by morality as well, thinking that in order to have a well-balanced society, people must behave as they are expected to. like the mediator, they also believe in treating everyone the same, good or bad. however, remus takes this a little too far and just hopes there’s just a little bit of humanity in evil. he desperately wants to believe humanity is inherently good instead of bad.
if you had to use one tv trope to describe your character, what would it be?
innocent prodigy.
this just shows two different aspects of remus. one being innocent: while remus had his childhood ripped away from him, he still remained innocent in the sense that he still believes in the good of people. currently, he hasn’t been jaded just yet to believe that everyone is awful. secondly, the prodigy aspect. while remus wasn’t some kid genius, he certainly was talented for such a young boy.

… forced to choose between saving your best friend or yourself, what would your choice be?
❛ My best friend. ❜ It seems as though there’s a lump in her throat as she speaks, her voice sure and strong. ❛ Far more readily than I would save myself. It’s --- It’s not right. It wouldn’t be right for me to --- for me to not save her, save them. ❜ She goes silent for a few more seconds, her eyebrows raising as she asks a simple question. ❛ Why, what did the others say? ❜
If ever you’ve already asked a question but already know the answer, it’s this one: Dorcas suffers from chronic heroism, and would save her best friend far more readily than she would ever consider herself worth saving. There’s no ‘forcing’ about it - Dorcas would choose others over herself in a heartbeat.
… trapped on a deserted island, who would you want to have with you?
❛ Probably Calliope or Emmeline. Maybe, maybe Lily. Or Alice. I mean, it’s kind of impossible to choose, right? You can have someone you get along with, or someone who you know is better at magic than you, or someone who knows stuff about surviving on a deserted island, or literally anyone famous. ❜ Dorcas shrugs. The question is more casual than the others, and her shoulders droop as she breathes in and out deeply.
… able to turn back time and given the chance to change one thing, would you?
❛ My - my brother. I’d go back, for my brother. So I could save him. Or die in his place. Anything. Just - my brother. He should be here. ❜ Her voice is panicked, now. It’s a question she hadn’t been expecting, and she knows traveling through time is possible - time turners - but she doesn’t trust herself to use them. She doesn’t trust herself to save him without breaking everything. She didn’t save him the first time. What’s to say fear won’t paralyze her again?
… able to see the future, would you try to change it, or let it happen as it should?
❛ I mean, if things are happy in the end, I’d probably let it happen as it should. But i’s not about me or my happiness. If the people that I love are happy, then I’d keep it the same. But I’d change it in a heartbeat if I knew the end of all this was anything but simple, pure happiness for any of them. ❜
If Dorcas knew what would happen to her, to her friends, her life wouldn’t be the thing that she’d want saved. No. Marlene dies soon after she does - they think it’s by Travers and his crowd, but nobody ever finds out. He gets her entire family. There are no more McKinnons that will ever grace the grounds of Hogwarts. Gideon and Fabian Prewett - brave, strong, good - are killed by five Death Eaters that same August. The ground becomes hallowed, sacred, and nobody can speak their names without thinking of Molly - poor, dearest Molly. Lily and James have a son, they get to be happy, but they’re locked away in Godric’s Hollow, and it’s there that they die, only months after Dorcas had. Their son lives, but his life is scarred, and set out for him, already. The life of a martyr. Sirius wastes away in Azkaban, and when he gets his only taste of freedom, it’s tinged by imprisonment in a house he never wanted to call home again in his life, and then he dies, and there’s no body to bury. Peter’s a traitor, until he has one moment - one shining moment of humanity - and then he is dead by his own hand. Remus lives an entire life without his best friends, goes near mad with the grief of that loss, and after finding Sirius again, he loses him so soon, and then dies himself, too.
Emmeline lives. She gets to live, for a shining, glorious number of years, but they’re numbered. They’ve always been numbered. He comes for her, as he came for Dorcas, and she dies in the street. Alice is tortured into insanity like Frank is - they become Aurors and are successful pillars of the community and then it happens. They get their happiness, their son, but it is ripped away. He’s raised by his grandmother - formidable and strict, always criticizing him for not being the father he’d never known. Nobody ever knows what becomes of Regulus Black. Nobody ever talks about his story, or how he’s a good person, in his own way. Andromeda and Ted get married. They have a daughter, with a name as long and complex as Andromeda’s own, but then Ted goes away. He goes into hiding, and he doesn’t come home. His name is on the list of deaths announced on the radio, and Andromeda’s world stops, too, when she loses her daughter as well. Emma Vanity has a career in Quidditch - she lives through both wars, and is happy. She’s not untouched by the ravages of war, on either front, but it doesn’t hurl her into the waves like it had with the others. Lucius and Narcissa live. Lucius, imprisoned for far less years than he deserves, gets a pardon at the very end of things - they both see their son grow up, see the son they had raised to be a snake marry, and have children of his own. Mary survived, but, God, at what cost? At what cost? She loses her best friends, her family.
Severus dies as he had lived - hopelessly in love with Lily Evans, staring into the last piece of her has left - her son’s eyes, but he has become someone not even Dorcas would recognize - a man of casual cruelty, who bullies young Neville Longbottom until he’s his worst fear. But there are no more McKinnon’s. No more Meadowes. No more Prewett’s. No more Black’s. No more Tonks’. The war that they had thought would be final isn’t. They are raised to become soldiers, some less touched by this reality than others, but it comes to them in the end, and one by one, their lives are torn apart. But, in the end, they get to be happy. There’s happiness even in their failure to surely end things. They don’t get to live until their eighties, sit back on their rocking chairs and reminisce about the old days. They die young, but some of their children live. They fight like hell to live, but they do. It’s the question of whether or not it’s worth it. They are children born to be soldiers, who bring soldiers of their own into the world without knowing it. Harry Potter is saddled with a fate worse than death - he’s raised like a pig for slaughter, and people don’t talk about that enough. He survives, he wins, but at what cost? Nightmares, pain, horror? For the rest of his life? His scar may not hurt anymore, but his limbs ache, and he remembers the feeling of someone in his mind more vividly than he ever wanted to. His friends, his friends, die. Fred and George Weasley? Dead. Remus? Dead. Tonks? Dead. Colin Creevey? Dead. Happiness isn’t something easily measured - they are happy, but it’s always tinged by the fact that a lot of their problems haven’t gone away. Psychologically, the harm of war stays with you forever.
Dorcas would want everyone else to live. She’d throw herself in front of that Killing Curse for anyone, for anything. If she knew, she’d want everything rewritten. It would begin and end with her, nobody else, and she’s so foolishly optimistic that it might actually work. But the thing is she doesn’t know, and if she did, she’d surely go mad with the weight of it, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t change it - just that she wouldn’t be the same. And in the end, when she dies, she isn’t the same as we know her now. She still doesn’t kill, but she’s raised her wand far more times than she ever thought she’d have to, and she still holds out hope for everyone, but it’s not rose tinted anymore. The sad truth of the matter is that right now, she’d die for any of the people I mentioned above. Any of them.

INFP — The Mediator
Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
what’s your character’s alignment?
Neutral Good
Creatures of neutral good alignment believe that there must be some regulation in combination with freedoms if the best is to be brought to the world--the most beneficial conditions for living things in general and intelligent creatures in particular. Creatures of this alignments see the cosmos as a place where law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, happiness, and prosperity to all deserving creatures. Order is not good unless it brings this to all; neither is randomness and total freedom desirable if it does not bring such good. Neutral goods value both personal freedom and adherence to laws. They feel that too many laws may unnecessarily restrict the freedom of good beings. They also believe that too much freedom may not protect society as a whole and encourage counterproductive divisions and in-fighting. They promote governments which hold broad powers, but do not interfere in the day-to-day lives of their citizens.

People are drawn to strong personalities, and Protagonists radiate authenticity, concern and altruism, unafraid to stand up and speak when they feel something needs to be said.

Protagonists easily see people’s motivations and seemingly disconnected events, and are able to bring these ideas together and communicate them as a common goal with an eloquence that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

… forced to choose between saving your best friend or yourself, what would your choice be?
Frank would choose a friend in a heartbeat. He prides himself on being reliable and, if I’m completely honest, he’s got a bit of that self-sacrificing idiot going on that a lot of Gryffindor’s do. He gets attached to people and if he knew he’d left his best friend for dead to save himself, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself. Hell, if he left anyone for dead to save himself, he wouldn’t be living much of a life afterword. The guilt would consume him.
… trapped on a deserted island, who would you want to have with you?
If he had the choice, he wouldn’t want to maroon anyone on an island with him, but if that wasn’t an option he’d want his mother. Frank loves his family more than anything else and he trusts his mother’s abilities to be able to get them out of most any situation. She’s strong and her devotion to her son makes her, even more, a force to be reckoned with.
… able to turn back time and given the chance to change one thing, would you?
Frank wouldn’t take such a chance. It’s not even a question for him, he wouldn’t be willing to risk messing anything up for both himself and those he cares about. It’s impossible to tell what events have led to what outcomes so going back and changing things could have a domino effect that could destroy everything he holds dear. The risks outweigh the benefits.
… able to see the future, would you try to change it, or let it happen as it should?
Contrary to his views on the past, if Frank could see the future he’d try to change it for the better. He’d go about it as logically and methodically as to limit the potential to mess things up, but he’s willing to take the risk as long as there’s something worth changing.
