goose_ooc | Character Almanac 2.0

Just like the Meddler's Almanac, but more up to date and with some boring stuff in there, too!

Name:
House & Year:
Hometown: Where your character is from. If this is a wizarding town or neighborhood which you made up for this game, feel free to include some information that other students would probably know about their hometown.

School History: What year did they start at Gooseberry? Where did they go to school before? What was their Ilvermorny/Hogwarts/etc house?
Class Involvement: How do they behave in their classes? Are they talkative? Disruptive? How often do they skip? Do they have a favorite partner for groupwork?
Campus Presence: Where on campus do they spend their downtime? Do they haunt the library? Are they big on school spirit? Have they tried every club at least once?
Party Time: Do they regularly attend Grotto parties? Do they drink? Smoke? Provide the contraband, or freeload? Steal the aux and play their weird music?

Best Friends: Your bestest buds in the whole world.
Cliques: Other groups they tend to hang out with.
Out-of-School Social Circles: Does your character have any old family friends? Parents who know each other? Do they keep in touch with their old school friends? (For example, the children of MACUSA reps hang out together at MACUSA events.)
The Not Friends: Any ex-friends on the record? Messy friend break up, or did you just drift apart? Bitter rivals? Or even just people that annoy you a little bit?

Sexuality: How would the student body at large perceive their sexuality? It doesn't have to match their actual sexuality. But if it doesn't, are they out to a few people? Nobody?
Dating History: Significant past relationships?
Current Relationship Status: Are they single? Dating? On the prowl?
The Messy Bits: Would it be obvious to an observant meddler that your character has a crush on their bestie? Or has your character engaged in public flirting and/or fighting on the journals?

Common Knowledge: Stuff absolutely anyone on the campus would probably know about your character. (For example, Clem's father is a retired quodpot player and she has a very young baby brother who was born last year.)
Personal Stuff: Stuff close friends of your character would know about, but probably aren't common knowledge. (For example, Ariadne has been disowned by her parents.)
The Secrets: Stuff only your character knows about themselves.

Rumors: Anything untrue that might be circulating in the gossip mill? Put it here and it's fair game for other characters to speculate and elaborate on!

Anything Else? Whatever else you want us to know!
A cute gif of your character: It's a meme staple, but only post one.

Name: Roxanne Does Not Have a Middle Name Barringer
House & Year: Coppertale Senior
Hometown: Circus Nox, Various Locations, USA (Occasionally Arizona.)

School History:

Roxie has attended no less than seven different schools before ending up at this one. Usually public, magical schools. It wasn't really a thing she cared about too much and she shrugged her way through decent grades only to please her father.
Came to Gooseberry as a Freshman. This will be the first time Roxie's ever graduated from a school.

Class Involvement:

Roxie tends to be quiet in classes. She rarely raises her hand, unless she's absolutely certain about what she wants to say. (And she hates being called on when she isn't raising her hand. It makes her nervous and being nervous makes her inarticulate and being inarticulate makes her unhappy and embarrassed.)
She doesn't skip regularly. But definitely has. Especially if she knows that she's going home soon and feels like she's still rusty.

Campus Presence:

Roxie can, most often, be found by looking up. Either she's napping in a sunbeam somewhere vertically-inclined like a large cat - or she's got a rope strung up between two trees and she's practicing.
If Roxie is down, it's more than likely that she's practicing too. She could very well go to the gym or ask after time in the dance studio, but Roxie doesn't like to be a bother. And is used to improvised practice spaces.
Though she has, admittedly, allowed herself to dedicate a larger amount of on-the-ground time to ingratiating herself into Reece's personal space. Often leaning herself into his side while he's doing work and maybe reading a book.

Party Time:

Roxie can take or leave parties. She'll go if she feels like it, but feels no real need to attend unless she's been asked.
She tends to observe most of the games from a curious distance too, only playing (again) if asked or particularly interested in what's going on. She's more of a sit on a log with a drink and observe everyone making poor choices sort of girl.

Best Friends:

Roxanne is Bad at friends in that she really doesn't know how they work or how she ended up having them. (Quidditch. The answer is Quidditch. She only has friends because Sy made her try out for the team. She will probably never stop being low-key grateful for this.)
Other than her teammates, she adores Rosy and thinks she is fantastic.

Cliques:

Again, Coppertale Quidditch. She doesn't really have a clique otherwise?
She likes a lot of other people. Enjoys talking to Clem, finds Ulysses very funny and, damn, Ayers. Way to be a goddamn badass. But she isn't very polished in the day-to-day activities of friendships and how they work.

Out-of-School Social Circles:

She lives in a traveling circus. Her out-of-school social circle is a gigantic poetry-reading spider. And various other members of her family/troop.

The Not Friends:

Eh. Not really.

Sexuality: Bisexual, though she's very 'let me shrug my shoulders casually in a way that somehow comes off as cool, but honestly stems from not being particularly fussy about what people think of me' about the whole thing. So I don't really think that people would have had much in the way of thoughts about it either way. She isn't very overtly flirty either. Unless she wants something.
Dating History:

None at Gooseberry?
Roxie's gone out on dates here and there, but very rarely seriously. Nox never stays in one place for too long and she's been on more than one date that's been nothing more than the other party's attempt to gain a good Story about hooking up with someone from the circus. It gets old very quickly.
She's definitely flirted with customers to get them to play games and drop cash. She was more than content to not do that very much at all this summer.

Current Relationship Status: Dating Reece Downing.
The Messy Bits:

It isn't? Messy. Or at least she doesn't think it is. Does it have to be?

Common Knowledge:

Roxie lives and works in a traveling circus. Personally, she performs on both trapeze and tightwire.
Broke several people's bones last year. Her father was both very appalled by and reluctantly proud of this.
She's the other weird Coppertale that climbs up stuff a lot.

Personal Stuff:

A lot of things about her end up falling under Personal Stuff because Roxie doesn't tend to volunteer much. This isn't intentional. She just keeps her stories close unless someone asks. Or she feels comfortable. Which started happening a lot more last year.
Her mother is from an old, Pureblooded family and was disowned after she ran away from home to join Nox. Roxie's never met her grandparents. Or anyone else from that half of her family.
Her senior project's still a bit personal at the moment. Partially because she only got permission for it recently - and partially because she feels nervous about being allowed to write it.

The Secrets:

Her father writes letters to her mother's parents every year on her birthday. Once Roxie was old enough, she started writing them for him because her English was better than his. They've never answered, but she does it for him anyway.
idk, I'll be back for this.

Rumors:

I'm sure there were plenty whenever she showed up at a new school every year as a kid. So she isn't impressed by them anymore. Which - sort of kills rumors after a while.

Anything else? The discussion bits.
A cute gif of your character: This stupid murder-show is very dark, but I assure you that she is sitting on a roof.
