All of the applications are in! The champions are ripe for picking!! So, read EACH and EVERY application below. Then, choose wisely the champion you wish to represent Ravenclaw in the Inter-House Tournament!! (poll above)

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Application 1 Year:5th
Character Strengths: (In character) I'm always quick on my toes, and very prepared for anything. Smart, but not in a cocky way where I go around boasting at any given minute. I will face any task given, putting in 110%. Oh, and I'm also I VERY quick learner, and that's the truth. It's a bit scary sometimes.
Character Weaknesses:I can be a bit shy. I can't say that i've attended many classes. I have a hard time paying attention. Although, I know that if I make it into this tournament, my attentiveness will make up for all those years where I payed no attention at all.
Why would you like to represent your house as a champion/why should you represent your house as a champion?: I would like to represent Ravenclaw as a champion because over these past 5 years I've learned to appreciate being a Ravenclaw a lot more. I remember when I was first sorted, I was thinking, "What was that crazy hat thinking putting me in Ravenclaw?" but now I am so absolutely glad and proud to be in this house. Even though not very many people know me, or even who I am, I think that this tournament would greatly help me to gain more friendships with in my house. I think I should represent this house because I probably know more than anybody what it is to be a Ravenclaw. I'm a fifth year, which means I've probably been here longer than a lot of the other students, so I have more experience to the things around me.

Why would you like to represent your house as a champion/why should you represent your house as a champion?: Ravenclaw is the best house and it's important to prove that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Application 8 Year: 2nd
Character Strengths: I am very quick at picking things up, I do not stress about things, and am decisive in choosing an action to take. I examine things logically and act based on what makes the most sense and will result in the highest chance of success, not just what sounds like a good idea.
Character Weaknesses: Procrastination is a way of life for me, I can get impatient when people don’t ‘get it’ and I think it is easy, though that is something that is being worked on at the moment.
Why would you like to represent your house as a champion/why should you represent your house as a champion?: This is my first time participating in the RPG school, but already I feel a great pride and connection to my house. I want to see Ravenclaw take the cup this year. To that end, I feel that I would be a great addition to the inter-house tournament team. I know my Hogwarts facts, I make connection, can think outside the box, and get super enthusiastic in competitions where there is pride on the line. This tournament and what it represents will become a large part of my life and I am willing to do what I can to see Ravenclaw succeed. I want to represent my house to the rest of the school, to show them that I am a Ravenclaw and extremely proud of whom we are and what we stand for. Intelligence, wit, and success are what we need to win this tournament, and I feel that I can bring to the team all three.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Application 9 Year: 7th
Character Strengths: I get along well with people. I have good people skills in general. I can manipulate people, but not for bad. Usually for helping them. As a Ravenclaw, I’m intelligent. I’m good with spells and quick on my feet. I’ve played Quidditch for years, which has given me good reflexes. Brains aren’t my only strengths though. I’m good at helping people and others can underestimate me. This often gives me the upper hand. I’m good at focusing and can work on the task at hand, even surrounded by distraction. Logic is a strong point for me and I can think things through with ease. Physically I have strength which is good for non-magic situations. Besides that, I’m best with Transfiguration, which I feel can be used a lot more than usually is. Flying is one of my best strengths though.
Character Weaknesses: Anything to do with runes or history, I most likely don’t know or care to know. I don’t learn well by reading; I’m better at being told something, it stays with me longer.
Why would you like to represent your house as a champion/why should you represent your house as a champion?: I knew, as soon as I read this, that I was the perfect candidate for representing Ravenclaw. It’s not arrogance speaking, just truth. I feel I’m very well rounded, which would work out well in a competition with unknown events. I want to prove that Ravenclaw is the most intelligent house, but also that we’re not just about brains, but brawn, honesty, strength, and courage as well, if not more so than the other Houses. I feel I could grant Ravenclaw success. I’ve been here a while and feel that I’ve proved my self with my strengths and that I could over come my weaknesses to grant a win for the greatest house in Hogwarts. I feel that I have the traits to make a winner; I’m gracious and wouldn’t take my win lightly. I don’t put down others. I have logic and intelligence and feel I could use that to my advantage. Practicing my dueling all these years I feel has made me quite proficient. I have courage though and won’t back down easily. Aiding courage is a strength that I fee could pull me through. Over all, I feel that I have the traits to make a winner.
How often are you on SS?: As often as I can be. At LEAST an hour a day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Application10 Year: 3rd
Character Strengths: Flying, and running. FAST. I'm brilliant with my wand, too.
Character Weaknesses: I'm not physically strong.
Why would you like to represent your house as a champion/why should you represent your house as a champion?: I should represent Ravenclaw because I'm very intelligent. I'm also a great leader and I follow directions well. With me being a champion, I will lead Ravenclaw to victory.
