hello! it's kas with THE VERY LAST SENIOR. WE HAVE A WHOLE SET!!!

it's iris shacklebolt!

coppertale senior! ravenclaw exchange student since junior year! from london, UK! pureblood!
CONCEPT: "Raised in the limelight, Auror hopeful tests her mettle abroad."
CLASSES: Charms, Hermeticism, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Occlumency.
EXTRAS: Duelling & Fencing, Gardening, Event Committee, Boating.

she grew up in an exceptional family: only two years old when the second wizarding war ended and her dad was named minister for magic (which he's been ever since), she grew up publicly. the UK wizarding public knew pretty much everything about her and THAT'S A LOT OF FUN. there were also Expectations as not only the minister's daughter, but as the daughter of kingsley shacklebolt (master dueller, renowned auror) and clara fawley (well-known as a sacred 28 kiddo who became a legilimens at 17). she had to be intelligent, and personable, and talented, and gracious, and Good, and, and and—

wants to be an auror (just like daddy~) but has decided to do it in the USA as a way of forging her own path. family knows part A, not part B.

little sense of 'privacy' = if she wants to know the question she'll just ask, and she's very curious. nosy, a bit of a gossip.

charismatic! good at putting on faces! great improvisor when someone commits a social snafu!

romantic (good > evil), says she's a team player but tends to steamroll group efforts, fully commits to every project she digs (academic or not)

~loves to debate.~ plays the devil's advocate in many conflicts, whether or not her friends want to hear it.

when she isn't good at something she drops it immediately so nobody can know she isn't good at Everything. her excessive confidence is a cover for the fact that she thinks she only excels at things because the minister's daughter HAS TO EXCEL, and not because she earned it. these worries (which are not fact) are part of why she came to gooseberry.

back at hogwarts she was much the same, but with the added bonus of her little sister, juno. juno is a ravenclaw a year below (i.e. a junior) and for a long time they were BFFs joined at the hip. they were supposed to come to gooseberry together last year but juno dropped out at the last minute because she found iris too controlling (she told iris it was because she would be homesick). they've been drifting apart ever since; last year at hogwarts, juno was finally able to be her own person without her sister's expectations heaped on her. she's having a great time. iris doesn't exactly know all of these details.

IDK, I GUESS THIS IS A LOT OF STUFF?

tl;dr: IT WAS ABOUT DARN TIME THAT WE GOT A COPPERTALE THAT USES EXCESSIVE ❤️ hearts and 😉 doodles 🐷 in their writing.

LOOKING FOR:

friends, OBVIOUSLY. close friends! casual friends! BFF(s)? people who were friends but got turned off by her bossypants tendencies? iris tends to get bored of people who don't challenge and/or entertain her. she isn't rude to them, she just... ghosts.

YO RAVENCLAWS/HOGWARTS SENIORS

YO BRITISH KIDS + FANCY UK SOCIETY KIDS + ANY FAWLEYS OUT THERE (her mom is one and i gave them a ridic magic shipwright business that i Do Not Regret)

YO SENIOR COPPERGIRLS

study buddies. she's serious about the auror thing but is super idealistic and prefers doing and debating over sitting quietly and writing. writing is THE WORST. help her, please.

short-lived exes? she hasn't been on a one-woman mission or anything, but she's tried to date a few people. (did she succeed??? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.) she gets bored easily, though, and quickly finds menial reasons to break it off after no more than a month or two. she's also game to be continual makeout buddies with one or two but doesn't hook up on the reg (... or ever.)

ANYTHING! girl's only here for a month and a half, let's make it count. 👊
