First Stage: Application

**Gemma_Cullen-Malfoy**

1. Why would you like to apply for The Creature Chronicles?
I would like to apply because it is a really good opportunity to try out all the stuff I've learned about creatures so far. I also like the thought of having an extraordinary pet, as pets are cool anyway and when they are magical creatures, caring for them and seeing them develop ought to be still far more amazing.

2. What quality to you believe to be most important?

a) Bravery
b) Loyalty
c) Knowledge
d) Cunning

3. Which continent are you most interested in visiting?
Although each of the continents has so many interesting aspects that it would be worth far more than just one visit, the one I'm most interested in travelling is the one I live on, Europe. While it might be considered too normal for someone living there to travel, I think that with its variety of environments and cultures in all the countries (most of which I haven't been to so far) it deserves and sparks my interest in a long and detailed visit.

4. Which magical creature is your favourite?
Although I like both unicorns, centaurs and Pygmy Puffs very much, the Pygmy Puff is my absolute favourite. This might sound strange considering that it has neither super heroic powers nor unique qualities, but for one I couldn't ever resist something that's so cuddly, comes in purple and pink shades and destroys horrid spiders by making them lunch. But the real reason is that I think fluffy little balls are exactly the kind of thing you can cuddle when feeling bad and, as seen with Ginny and Arnold, you can take them with you whereever you go. It's also a giant plus that you're unlikely to experience bad surprises with them like Ron did with Scabbers, because, well, what kind of evil wizard would go and turn into a furry round thing?

5. What scares you the most?
Loneliness and being abandoned are what I fear above all else, even sickness or death, because I think when you are all alone, everything is frightening and depressing, but as long as there's someone with you who is loyal and loves you as much as you love them, then you can go through everything together, no matter how much the thought of it could scare you as a single person. It's just as simple as that: Everything is possible as long as you've got loved ones by your side!

6. If you were to undertake a quest, what do you think would be most important to take with you?
Concerning the perfect magical equipment, it would obviously be a wand to be able to perform magic in any given situation. However besides this, the most improtant thing for me to take would be a loved person to always be at my side. I think that when facing quests and adventures, it's not only good to have the help of another person, but above all you need somebody you can rely on no matter what happens, someone who would be willing to protect you at any risk knowing you would do the same for them!

7. Which real-life person do you admire the most?
There isn't anybody I specifically admire, but I do highly respect my fiancé, since no matter how hard his life is, he's always there for me no matter what, and I can be sure that he will fight whatever problem I might have right by my side. Plus, he's putting up with my attitude most of the times, which isn't always a piece of cake...

8. Which literary or film hero do you admire the most?
While I already find it hard to 'admire' a real life person, because I'm just not one who goes around admiring others, thinking of a non existent person that I admire seems impossible. I probably should start considering peoples' actions and not just decide whether they are likeable or rather despisable...

9. Finally, which magical creature do you believe would be the most valuable to you in a near-death situation?
I think this depends on the kind of near-death situation concerned, but it does seem handy to have a phoenix by my side, in case I get wounded critically and need to be healed.
