Hi everyone! Heather here (player of Dominic and Tabitha) with #3, Azurcrest sophomore William Chase.

Before I intro him though, I want to give HUGE thanks to Emily and the mods for helping me to perfect him. He's something of a departure from the usual chars I write, and with the factual info from the mods and the incredibly detailed (and constructive!) feedback from Emily, I feel much happier about giving him a decent shot.

Anyway, on to William!

Born in Louisiana but brought up in Colorado, William lived in a group foster home until he was adopted at age four. This part is public knowledge (kind of obvious when you're white and your parents are African and Native American). What is not public knowledge, and maybe even not the closest of his friends know, is that the caregivers when he was young were physically abusive and this is how his first magic was triggered - in self defence.

He attended a small prep school in Colorado before Gooseberry, and attends by virtue of his grades across the curriculum and his abilities in muggle sports (he mostly plays soccer. And god knows I hate writing that word, lol). He's in LARP, Events and Outdoor Exploration, and is trying to convince people that non magical sports can be just as fun as magical ones!

He's a bouncy puppy, basically, with endless perkiness (unless you push one of his buttons) and is basically a cat dad to a black Persian kitten (whom he maintains is part Kneazle) called Dave. Yes, Dave.

Plot with me or any of mine!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He seems so great! If Anuhea and he can have plot I am all for it. Also love the pb.

Ferris is in outdoor exploration! As is Trixie!

Soooo. Cecil wants to big brother the heck out of you, adorable new Azurcrest! He'll definitely be friendly and encouraging toward William and they'll likely see a fair amount of each other since they're in the same house and have overlapping electives (Events and Outdoor Exploration). He's also very willing to try a sport that's played ON THE GROUND, so show him the ropes kiddo~

Casper...well, there's less there to work with and he's sort of a jerk anyway. So. We'll see how that goes. ;)

Awwww, Will!

So, Calvin was probably Not So Nice to him last year, but this year he's gotten a lot better and has been significantly more pleasant. He probably finds Will a little exasperating, but it's turning into more affectionate exasperation? He's not playing any muggle sports, though. SORRY.

Reid and Will may not cross paths often, but Reid would be decent to him!

Aaaand Diego likes to be a big brother to all the baby birds, but less of a rule abiding big brother than Cecil. He'll play soccer! He'll play soccer very badly.

Addy loves her baby Acrests and is in outdoor exploration too! Though she doesn't always you know, go. She'll still be nice.
And while she probably does not know of his childhood situation, she thinks it is pertinent to mention she'd absolutely march to Louisiana and hang some bitches up by their toenails if she did :)

Yay, MORE Azurcrest Sophomores! Takin' over the land of the underclassmen!

But, yes. Frankie's also a chipper little dweeb, so they'll probably get along well. They've got LARP and Events together - and she's muggleborn, so she'd definitely played soccer before. (Probably not that well. But she's played!)

YAY MORE TINY AZURCRESTS!!!!

Essie is totally up for playing soccer. ~~But she doesn't want to be on Diego's team, ugh.~~ She went to a muggle elementary school for like five years, so she is totally up for dodgeball and soccer and any other gym class activity you can think of. If Will tries to get a muggle sports club organized, Essie is totally on board with supporting that.

OMG! I am revamping a character that has an abusive past. Not that Ryan's is similar outside of that, and he wouldn't advertise his history either, but omg the poor babies <3

Vee thinks he's adorable and even though she's older, she'd be friendly. They're in outdoor exploration and events together too!

Ana is in his year, but can be a bit prickly upon first meeting. Still, since he's a sports guy and not an asshat, she'd likely be friendly towards him (her version at least!) They also have charms, herbology, potions, astronomy together too!

EYYYYYYYYYYYY, I have Levi in LARP and OE! He's a senior Azurcrest, Chaser, probably the anti-Cecil at this point. He'll be the lil devil on Will's shoulder.

Levi would be interested in soccer in theory, but I think the extent of his experience is kicking the ball off the cliffside and into the ocean while throwing his arms up and screaming "FUTBOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" before somebody was made to go retrieve it.

He's also into animals and his mom's a magizoologist and his eldest brother is a magical vet. They can gab about cute creatures together.

I'm notttttttttt sure about Maggie

fensterln, but I think she'd find his peppiness adorable and thinks Cecil would be a good influence on him.

Ree will snuggle him and will play soccer with him if he teaches her? But if Dave comes near her birdo she will bite Dave.

Gabi likes bouncy puppies.

Isaiah probably bares recognizes him, because: Isaiah.

kurt's in equestrian and OE with him! i think he'd like william a lot even aside from the animals because he's a ~ray of sunshine~ but he probably hasn't communicated it much. yet!

Oh, Heather! We forgot to mention to you, you gave Tabitha and William the same birthday (March 23). Is this something you'd like to keep, or would you prefer to change one of them?

You're so sweet! Happy to help. :)

SOPHOMORESSS ♥

Okay so Pippa will know him from classes and will definitely be friendly!! She thinks Will is cute and fun and may possibly attempt to flirt with him at some point if she gets up the courage. But otherwise they can be perky together!

Henrietta knows how to play soccer so if Will ever organises a game she'd be all over that. (Tbh she'd be up for any muggle sports/games he suggests.) Het gets really competitive so she would PLAY TO WIN oh my god why does no one on my team understand the rules. Anywayyyy she'll be friendly because yay Azurcrests!
