Ariadne Flint

Name: Ariadne Flint
House & Year: Ebonhide junior
Hometown: Wolferton, Norfolk, England.

School History: Ariadne started at Gooseberry last year, as a sophomore. She is a Hogwarts exchange student and was a Slytherin there. At Hogwarts, she had a reputation for being a bully and tormented many of her classmates.
Class Involvement: Ari won't volunteer to answer questions in class unless she knows she's right, and won't offer her opinions unless she thinks they're good ones. She hates being corrected or contradicted, and always feels like her classmates are making fun of her. Jade is in all of her classes besides literature, and she always sits by her. If she ever needs to pair up with someone and Jade's not available, she'll usually just mill around until someone else offers or there's no one else left.
Campus Presence: She's good at finding secluded places to sit down and read, and doesn't usually hang out in the high-traffic areas too much. She can be difficult to find unless you know where to look for her. Most of the time when she's hanging out in her cabin, she draws the curtains. She doesn't particularly like any of her roommates, and interacts with them as little as possible. Even though she's on the cheer squad, she's not particularly peppy. She's still a little new to the concept of "school dances" and "bonding activities", and often tries to appear like she's not enjoying herself even if she is.
Party Time: Ari goes to most Grotto parties, but she's not the life of the party by a long shot. She'll usually play kissing games or truth-or-dare, though she thinks beer pong is stupid. She never drinks or smokes, but does usually carry a solo cup around to make it look like she might be drinking. It wouldn't be hard to figure out she doesn't, but it'd also be easy to assume she does.

Best Friends: Jade Otterwell. Ari tags along almost everywhere Jade goes and is much more quiet and reserved when Jade isn't around.
Cliques:
  • Kenzie's mean girls. Kenzie Prince, Ursula de Luca, Riley Stamper, Casey Patterson. She appreciates their senses of humor and is genuinely quite fond of them, although Riley intimidates her a little bit (which is funny, since Riley was one of the girls her Hogwarts clique bullied.)
  • Juniors. In sophomore year Ari somehow got involved in a lot of the class-wide ghost hunting antics, and nothing brings people closer together than almost dying. She'd consider Calvin, Micah, Essie, and Zach all to be friends of hers.
Out-of-School Social Circles: She actively socialized with the pureblood kids at Hogwarts, although her family was not particularly well-known in the community.
The Not Friends: Many, many people annoy her.

Sexuality: Ostensibly heterosexual, but frigid. She's not receptive to flirting but kisses boys at parties sometimes. She actually likes girls, but isn't out to anybody and endeavours to hide it.
Dating History: None at Gooseberry. She has a couple ex-boyfriends from Hogwarts.
Current Relationship Status: Single.
The Messy Bits:
  • Ari has a biiiig stupid crush on Jade, but she hopes she's not overly obvious about this. I'd be up for like maybe one person figuring it out and talking to her about it, but otherwise people probably aren't aware of this.
  • She also has a more superficial and slightly more obvious crush on Charlotte, who she spends a lot of time staring at in class and at parties.

Common Knowledge:
  • A British exchange student, Ariadne is a member of one of the pureblooded families who were loyal to Voldemort in the Wars.
  • Although she is not particularly friendly, she is very fond of animals and oftentimes will pick up and cuddle other people's familiars if they wander off.
  • She's a big reader and often reads by the fire instead of socializing at parties. Observant onlookers might notice that she has a taste for muggle science fiction and fantasy (last year she read the entire A Song of Ice and Fire series in about three weeks).
  • She almost flunked out of school last year and had to enlist the help of a handful of student tutors to scrape C's.
  • She brings a ridiculously large amount of jewellery with her to school. She wears a lot of it, but keeps some in a lockbox. Last year, Kurt Wolfhart's niffler stole it all and she threw a very public fit about it.
Personal Stuff:
  • She's not actually a pureblood, and her mother was an illegitimate child.
  • Her parents disowned her over the summer and she's now livng with her older brother, Nico.
  • Her friends from Hogwarts don't talk to her anymore, but they were honestly kind of awful anyway.
The Secrets:
  • She's gay. She definitely knows that by this point, but was brought up by some very intolerant and heteronormative people, so even in the welcoming environment that Gooseberry is, she's uncomfortable with this.
  • She wants to be a romance novel author for a living.
  • She has a bad habit of swiping her friends' possessions, usually by way of borrowing them and not giving them back.

Rumors: Nothing right now because I'm exhausted but SOON.

Anything Else? I'm probably gonna add stuff to these as I think of it~
