hey girl heyyyyyy
OH HELLO.
Madeline here and I'm back from hiatus! Italy was amazing but I am soooo looking forward to just chilling out with my puppies and not needing to be a translator/guide/bodyguard for my mother, while I try not to miss espresso and good pesto and fresh porcini mushrooms too much. (OH YEAH, FRESH PORCINI MUSHROOMS ON EVERYTHING. HEAVEN ON EARTH. /chef nerd time over.)
That being said, I have a ton to catch up on, a lot of intros I missed, and a new boy to bring to you all! Because I was a jerk and apped him before I left. . .ANYWAYS.
SO.
paytee, call him Wes: Coppertale Senior, lanky Cajun boy from the swamps, formerly of St. Cyprian's before coming to Gooseberry because the kid is damn good at Potions. He's in music and drama and some other extracurriculars and clubs also, including outdoor exploration, but if there's an opportunity to show off he's there.
So for him - everything! Friends, people he judges ("bless your heart" is a favorite thing of his to say), flings and exes he still acts flirtatious as hell around, you name it!
Now that you've got Wes I'll also give you a refresher of my two other kids, because I missed a looooot with them too.
First up Sybilla Borgin -
sibyls, goes by Sylla, Ebonhide junior and Hogwarts exchange student, where she was a Slytherin.
And lastly Holden Bright!
blinkah, Ribbonfin junior, Seeker on the Quidditch team, pretty much the only reason he is even here at Gooseberry.
So yeah it's 5 AM and I'm jet lagged so I probably missed some stuff, tl;dr hit me up with plot for my new boy and my old ones and it's good to be back here!

• Grew up in south Louisiana in a strong Cajun community. Speaks Cajun French and is all drawls and swagger and cockiness and flirtation. I apologize ahead of time.
• Had to leave his home after Hurricane Katrina leveled his family's farm, doesn't speak of this a lot, maybe only to close friends. Because traumatic life experiences are not cute, he would say.
• Learned to bounce back and cruise by on his wits and flattery, is a lover and not a fighter, and loves being the center of attention.
• Crazy good at Potions, especially healing remedies.
• ALSO. He is in the works to becoming a Cajun traiteur, or a folk/faith healer, which means one day in the far off future he will be able to heal with his hands. Passed down from his grandmother. What this means is right now he can't actually heal anything with his bare hands, but he can repair broken material objects if his hands are on it and not use his wand, and he can also detect pain in the body. It's baby steps, he's got a long ways to go.
• Not your average Coppertale in that he isn't always outspoken and bossy, but instead he really, really loves saying "I done told you so."
• So cocky, knows he's a big deal, needs to get over himself.
So for him - everything! Friends, people he judges ("bless your heart" is a favorite thing of his to say), flings and exes he still acts flirtatious as hell around, you name it!
Now that you've got Wes I'll also give you a refresher of my two other kids, because I missed a looooot with them too.
First up Sybilla Borgin -
![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
• Her parents are the Borgin & Burke of the nefarious shop in Knockturn Alley. Shady power couple, 8 creepy children with only one of them being a son, basically they're the Victoria and Albert of the dark arts, and Sylla is their Disney princess if Guillermo Del Toro directed a princess movie.
• Northern English, so her accent is a bit muddy and not as cut-glass posh as one would expect.
• Withheld perfectionist, holds herself to way too high of a standard.
• Loves loves LOVES dueling, watching violent sports matches, wearing black and accessorizing with morbid jewelry.
• in animagus training and comes to Senior sessions too. Stressed out about what her form will be.
• basically an exercise in duality. You can't have dark without light, balance in all things, mastering each side of being a wizard, etc.
• Polite and sweet and dainty at first glance, but duels like a champ and lights a room up when you get her on a tangent about bloody myths and violent Shakespeare tragedies and is a little bent and twisty when you get to know her.
And lastly Holden Bright!
![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
•from Dorchester, south Boston, basically raised muggle with a divorced wizard dad who is a magical literature scholar.
• hates confrontation, actually an ostrich when it comes to drama, tries to solve problems and ends up making them worse or throwing himself under the bus.
• hates being the center of attention away from the Quidditch pitch, because at least there he can zone out and do his own thing.
• follower to an extreme, just wants everyone to be happy, no backbone to speak of.
• loves weird animal facts, has an often-escaping turtle named Ted Williams. It's a female turtle. He didn't correct the mistake.
So yeah it's 5 AM and I'm jet lagged so I probably missed some stuff, tl;dr hit me up with plot for my new boy and my old ones and it's good to be back here!
no subject
I'm on my phone but HAD to comment on the lovely. Also! I just apped a boy from Dorchester! (In reference to Holden now lol)
Vee here will be friendly with Wes as she is with everyone. Ngl, she prolly had/has a crush at one point.
Ana is a young prickly thing so probably won't have much interaction. :( But I'm up for random!
I'll do Sylla and Holden when I have a computer! :)
no subject
Omg yesssss Southies unite! I can't wait!
And sounds perfect! Wes is a shameless flirt, it's his default setting, so he definitely feeds into it
no subject
SO
LIKE
PLEASE HOLD THE LINE, WILL BE BACK WITH THINGS 💟

He and Diego have known one another for a loooong time, actually? They both went to St. Cyprian together, and now Gooseberry obviously! Diego and Wes have a shared love of music, and I was thinking (since Diego's band is full), maybe he and Wes can have a little side project they work on together? They both like blues rock, so it could be the genre they play together. And besides all that, I think Diego and Wes will probably get along swimmingly. They're both fun loving flatters who don't want to fight. His cockiness will be a good counterpoint to Diego's ridiculous insecurity.
Reid's a year below him, and is probably kind of fascinated by the traiteur thing. If Wes is friendly, then Reid probably likes him quite a bit.
Calvin mostly knows him as that really hot senior with the accent he kind of has a hard time with but sounds really great anyway.
no subject
Yessss that sounds perfect! Wes' life goal is to play like Clapton someday, so they definitely have jam sessions. They're probably really good friends even if Wes doesn't call Diego out for anything, he's very live and let live in that way. IE he's an enabler :p
Wes considers himself just sweet as pie so he'll totally get along with Reid, and even try to show off his (limited, but he'll kind of gloss over that) skills for him. If Reid can wait around while Wes says his prayers and gears up to do so, it's all part of it~
He so is that hot Senior boy, these are Wes' life goals achieved
no subject
Holden and Anuhea well they be friends! Plus haha kissed recently. But you know hey still quidditch bros.
Sybilla they have chatted a bit due to Animagus training.
no subject
And we're good with the others stilll :)
no subject
no subject
Club wise, I think she overlaps with Sybilla in duelling/fencing and Wes in Outdoor Exploration.
Also, for your amusement: Wes, Holden.
Ohterwise, uhm, Ursula is Ursula. She doesn't have any direct overlap with Wes, but you know she pesters Holden and hopefully she will extend that to Sybilla soon too!!!! (And Wes?!?!)
no subject
Sylla is a school obsessed little terror and Holden is probably way too shy and confused about any attention, though they'll both know eachother!
Wes loooooves being pestered, really, just throw it all on him :p

While you were away I also picked up Hayley Ferris
Alllso. I'll get back to you like Alex cause our characters are not at all related, at all. Nope.
no subject
Oh bless your heart, don't take away time when he could be wowing everyone with his same Clapton riff for the 300th time with your rants :| rich rednecks rub him the wrong way as a proud Cajun. Ferris probably flares up his Coppertale lingering impatience.
no subject
Tabitha - same year, some classes.
Dominic - year below, same house!
Will - I got nothing.
no subject
Dominic and him can throw shade at others speaking French? If he can understand Wes at all, because Cajun French accents are WAY OUT THERE.
I got all excited when I read Will was from Louisiana but then read more and yeah, no proud Louisiana connection there :(
no subject
Dom comes from a part of QC where even Québécois find the accent weird (oh boy do I have stories there, lol) so they can at the very least empathise over attitudes to non Eurooean French!
Yeahhhh Will's few memories of Louisiana are not happy ones, sadly. He's going to try and track down his bio parents the minute he turns 18 though, so it's a weird mix of curiosity and pain when it comes to the state. His dad was a wizard and his mother a muggle so he has no clue where to start!

i feel like he and zoey would kinda vibe w the potions stuff, tho their personalities are super different. they have music in common too ♥
annnnnd laurel -- they're in drama together etc & i kind of feel like they might get along/she crushes on him a teeny bit!
no subject
Oh he definitely crushes on Laurel (and her sister too but shh he knows better than to admit to that). It probably makes drama club very interesting for him. He thinks she's damn adorable.
no subject
no subject
He never shuts up about it, so she can always pick his brain!
no subject
I don't think Pippa will have much overlap with Wes apart from them both being in Choir, but they might end up talking potions on the journals! She'd find the traiteur/healer stuff fascinating.
Henrietta will definitely get on well with Wes! Friends, y/y? But possibly also exes and/or random makeout buddies?? She finds his drawl/swagger/cockiness/flirtation v amusing and will love bantering with him. They also share a few classes plus Boating and Outdoor Exploration!
no subject
Wes stays good friends with all his makeout buddies (well, and probably his exes too, let's be real)! That definitely works, he loves a good banter. Aaaaand he needs to be knocked down a peg too :p
no subject
As for Quinn,
- She and Wes are Seniors with healing aspirations! They share a lot of classes. She tends to see other seniors who want to be healers as academic rivals that she tries to out-do; if you're cool with Wes being officially a rival, then he probably gets asked a little too often how he did on that last assignment.
- As long as he isn't trying to waste her time, I think she admires his goal-oriented-ness because she's the same way, though taking a different route. She's probably pretty friendly towards him, and if they're actually friends, she def tries to dance with him a bunch at parties because yay~~~
- (She probably thinks he's pretty cute, too.)
She probably doesn't encounter Holden or Sylla much, though!
no subject
Yessss! He's so used to all these girls up in here being the ones good at Potions, but after all, he grew up with his Mama always at the cauldron, either for Potions or gumbo, so he's used to it. I'm totally cool with the rivalry! Even though to Wes, he's the least competitive person ever - he's an idiot and thinks nobody else is on his level. Fair warning though, he thinks the world of himself and his abilities so he's a gloating KING. I can definitely see them being friends! Which comes with another fair warning, dancing and flirting to him are one in the very same thing.
no subject
ROBIN IS YOUR ROOMIE WES. He's an asshole nerd from West Virginia, and even though it almost seems like their personalities wouldn't mesh, I think the key is whether or not Wes takes Robin's assholery personally. Bc he doesn't usually take it personally when other people are dicks and thinks that's just how people talk to each other, THIS IS HOW COMMUNICATING WORKS RIGHT? HAHA FEELINGS ARE FOR THE WEAK~~~
no subject
BASICALLY SUMMED UP WES' INTERACTIONS WITH ROBIN:
no subject
Cecil Honeychurch: This guy. He's the Head Boy, an Azurcrest senior, and the most grounded person in his house. He's friendly and warm and gets roped into things more often than a Head Boy probably should (approving parties? what? no), but does still try to be a voice of reason and is the campus big brother. He doesn't have much overlap with yours sadly, different houses and no activities except for OE and Choir with Wes, but I'm sure they've crossed paths from time to time and I'm always open for random stuff!
Casper Kim:
Welcome back! :)
no subject
Wellllll if Casper does his research he'll definitely recognize Sylla's last name and family tree :P Not that she talks about it, because ugh how gauche and how completely not English to do so. She probably watches him very closely just in case he is a dark wizard, but she's way too above responding to any hostility with anything but sweetness and a little I could destroy you if I wanted to smirk. Nah, it's scarier to be cool and calm and unafected. His temper and violence is endlessly interesting to her too, because ~human weakness and impulse is a very true part of life~ and all that duality of life stuff that she's a huge nerd for.
