Character Almanac 2.0

[neattrick]

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. <b>Name:</b> <B>House & Year:</B> <b>Hometown:</b> Where your character is from.

Vee!!!

[cheerpowers]

Name: Veronica Powers
House & Year: Ebonhide SENIOR!
Hometown: Phoenix, AZ. It's obviously not a magical town, but there are witches and wizards living in it. Kind of like a little clique sub-community. They stick together.

School History: Started at Gooseberry as a Freshmen! She was at Ilvermorny before that as a Horned Serpent.

Class Involvement: Vee is, unsurprisingly, a perfect student. She is engaging and energetic, ready to jump into a discussion or offer an answer for almost every question. She hates getting the answer wrong, but takes it in stride (like she does everything else) She is quick to raise her hand or speak, and is almost always seen scribbling down notes, the only exception being if it's not that kind of class. She's punctual and attentive, and hates missing class (she's looking at you, quarantines!)

Campus Presence: Did someone say school spirit? This term was MADE for Vee. She can most often be found on the Quidditch pitch practicing or in the dance studio, though also frequents the lodge and library. Essentially, though, she is everywhere. She doesn't like being still, and is in so many clubs that she can probably be found in every place on campus at least once. She loves being outside, so will often sit outside and talk or study out there if the weather permits. (Hello, s'mores on the fire???) Also, as a mermaid, she spends quite a lot of time down by the lake and the docks. She used to do it with Clem a lot before the Lake Gooseberry Killer prank of 2013, though occasionally they'll still go down there.

Party Time: Vee is definitely ALWAYS at the parties. She tends to drink a lot, and has made quite a few questionable decisions at said parties. (Hello, getting left behind and needing a search and rescue party) Vee is not a smoker, but obviously doesn't discriminate when it comes to her drinking. Her kissing either, though now that she is dating someone she won't be the reliable enthusiastic presence in those games. Vee is also a very very friendly drunk, so given that she's a friendly person already, be prepared for extra love.

Best Friends: Oh man. Where do we even start? First and foremost, it should be noted that Vee is friendly with EVERYONE. Honestly. If she's talked to you once, you might as well accept your role as her buddy. That being said, her BEST friend is Clementine Decourt. Coming in closely behind are her roommates (particularly Nia and Sylla). Oscar Zabinsky has always been a fixture as one of her best friends throughout the years too. She's also really really close with Cameron Carney and Sofia Delgado. She probably now feels like Sy is a friend because he's dating her best girl (sorry, Sy! ♥) An honorable mention goes out to her lost Ty Ty ♥

Cliques:

• CHEER PEOPLE. Whether it be her squad, the GB squad, other squads, whatever. If you're a cheerleader, she hangs out with you
• MACUSA kids. Since her dad works there, she's been at galas and whatever else her whole life.
• Dancers. Vee spends a lot of time in the dance studio and has been dancing since she could walk basically, so she would know a lot of them closely by now
• I feel like I'm forgetting something, so let me know if there's anything else I should put here!

Out-of-School Social Circles: Other than the MACUSA kids, probably not really.
The Not Friends: Vee would never ever admit to hating or not liking someone, but anyone who is a bully or unnecessarily cruel she doesn't like. She had trouble hiding the fact that she didn't like dear Coralee before.

Sexuality: Straight, but probably confusing? She's never had a problem kissing a girl or being playful with one, so people probably know she's straight but also might be a bit confused as to how straight.

Dating History:

• Most well-known is Jeremy Rasmussen last year.
• Diego Morales for a bit (timing is still hazy for me, but probably Sophomore year Meggie?)
• People probably thought she was dating or was going to date Cam at any point because she adores him so
• Open to more if you have any!

Current Relationship Status: Currently dating Oscar Zabinsky
The Messy Bits: Pretty much everything about her breakup with Jeremy was messy. It was very public, a lot of people had opinions on it, and her feelings (whether she was going to get back with him) were constantly being called into question.

Common Knowledge:

• Her dad is the treasurer for the MACUSA
• Her mom is a pretty well known writer for the popular magazine Witch Weekly
• The cheeriest cheerleader person ever. Has been captain of her squad for awhile.
• Her cat Maleficent is kind of a diva and a meanie to most people
• Glitter Goddess
• Obsessed with mermaids

Personal Stuff:

• She's debating whether or not to become a professional cheerleader when she graduates (not sure if she's discussed this in game with anyone, but her close friends would know).
• She's learning she has to stick up for herself more

The Secrets:

• She was really really upset by how much everyone talked about her relationship with Jeremy and how it ended, but hasn't ever told anyone how much it bothered her
• She's exhausted with trying to be perfect all the time
• Still isn't sure if she had an actual crush on Clem or if it was just bestie worship. This made her question whether or not she really liked girls, though she's at least figured out that she doesn't like them. She never told Clem because she didn't want to ruin their friendship if she was just enamored with how cool her bestie was.
• Is actually extremely sensitive to the bullying that can occur on the Anon posts or from mean people in general.

Rumors: I'm open for anything anyone can think of! I'm sure there are still some circulating about Jeremy and maybe how she leads guys on (since it was claimed she wasn't really over him?)
Anything Else? Discuss here!
