Intro: Quinn Cunningham

Helloooo Gooseberry!

This is Kas, player of Kurt Wolfhart. I bring you cancon by way of Azurcrest senior and sports fan, Quinn Cunningham!

  • Prefect
  • Halfblood from Hamilton, ON (Canucks represent!). Mother runs a daycare, father runs a ~magical yarn store~ where each yarn is spun from a magical creature and purported to have magical properties. They are both hippies out of their proper time.
  • Quidditch reserve. Was beater in freshman year and was good, but is BRUTAL on the field and the captain decided that she was too much of a liability to use every game. She is now the "big guns" and brought out only in case of emergency.
  • Quinn is a rabid hockey fan and breathes the Toronto Maple Leafs. So she must be okay with leading a life full of perpetual disappointment, HA HA HA HA HA
  • She is a VERY dedicated student here on an academic scholarship, with dreams of eventually becoming an emergency healer
  • She's one of those annoying academic students who are consistently at the top of the class.
  • Extremely disciplined work ethic: if she's working you won't get her to do anything else.
  • But if she's pencilled in some leisure time she will party. all. night. (Including smoking, drinking, dancing — which might make her a bit of a hypocrite, because...)
  • Takes her prefect duties very seriously. WILL dock points for a uniform not being to code because You Should Know.
  • However, she's not going to seek out things to punish for, so if you don't flaunt it, whatever. And in the last couple of years she's been more ready to reward good behaviour.
  • A very low tolerance for bullshit. She doesn't like her time to be wasted, and she can be blunt as a result. There's no waffling around Quinn. If she thinks a big, long conversation can be reduced to one suggestion or comment, she'll do it. If she thinks her time is being deliberately wasted, she's been known to say "I don't have time for this." and walk away.
  • Despite all of this, she's very kind and loving to her friends. She has a nurturing nature and wants them to be happy! WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST BE HAPPY???

I made up a cooky school for her to have gone to previously so she probably doesn't know anybody from there, but I am looking for as many lines as possible! This includes:
  • Pals! BFFs! Azurcrest seniors especially, since they're her Peeps. When she was made prefect (in sophomore year) she way overdid it and was close to losing most of her friends. When she realized the errors of her ways~ she dedicated herself to patching and maintaining those relationships.
  • Academic rivals! Quinn is EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE about her Healer Dreams. She would never sabotage the competition, but she is hyper-aware of how her 'rivals' do at Gooseberry (for instance, by asking them or others how they did on assignments.) If they seem to be doing better than her, she will hit the books even harder.
  • Exes! She dated a forthcoming Coppertale from sophomore to junior year, and last year tried to date around and "have a good time," which she had been told is a wise thing to do. So far she's pretty much heterosexual, so this is likely to be guys, but she doesn't rule out possible experimentation — she just also hasn't sought it out.
  • Prefect pals!
  • Study group compadres! Quinn runs regular study groups for all of her classes that are focused on her year, but open to quiet and respectful younger students, as well.
  • A Herbology tutor! Quinn needs Herbology to be a healer, but she is so. so. so. bad at it. Last year she gave in and "hired" one of her peers to tutor her regularly. Said tutelage is paid for through the barter system; we can talk about what it might be. (Personal training? Tutoring in something else? One of her parents' special recreational strains plants?)
  • Other lines that you think might be fun!!

She's in 8 classes, Event Committee, and Archery. Here is her profile, here is her timetable, and here is the dropbox!

Real talk, quinn's beater performance freshman year is a hundred percent responsible for inspiring Chris's current beater performance. And also a hockey fan. Her personality could probably actually mesh well with Chris? so they could be either friends, or exes. Either way, he very likely finds her no bullshit attitude to be attractive, and also validating because that's his attitude too.

He IS the crankiest, Kurt, he is.

I agree with all of this. I literally have no idea about hockey (I live in Illinois; we got corn okay that's our sport)) but Chris is from Boston and apparently hockey is a thing there. And also violent so it's a thing he loves. They can also continue to get together to yell obscenities at sports. They also can shit talk players during quidditch games, like just be in the stands, telling the players how much they suck.

But she can also dock points when his uniform isn't up to standards or when he tells a freshman to fuck off. It's okay, he'll understand.

Considering I apparently play all slackers this might be terrible.

Katya is the Prefect that is trying to be good at her job but is a bit too lenient when it comes to everything but she is in Archery (even if she's kind of terrible at it) so Azurcrest connections at the very least. Katya says she will cheer at her in Quidditch as much as humanly possible.

Trixie is her mad scientist self so I'm sure she would know of her and I'm pretty sure that she has run up against prefects many times in her adventures. Feel free to sigh over her fruit stand or general something might sort of be on fire around her but it is so controlled don't worry about that.

Aaand. Ferris. Please feel free to give her detention all the time over stupid things because she is useless and refuses to conform. She's a mess.

Apparently sneaky smoke buddies is all the rage around the cabins so yes yes please!

But who will deal in fresh fruit? The elves?!

[identity profile] lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com 2016-10-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So like a metric shit ton of fruit?

[identity profile] alapai.insanejournal.com 2016-10-01 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
So Quinn and Anuhea are in the same year. Have a few of the same classes. We could say she has taken chaser Anuhea out in quidditch once or twice? So I think they would know each other. Anuhea is pretty quite though. She could have been in study groups with her some time.

Awesome!

Same year as Tabitha!

Same house as Will.

Prefect with Dom.

Let's talk!

Whooops sorry! It can be easy to get carried away with YouTube links!

I just meant that Dom and Quinn will probably be all (1) LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS aka LET'S DO ALL OF THE WORK YEAHHHH (the sexism part was just bc the song is called "I'll Make a Man Out of You") and (2) probably speak French sometimes because they can. But we can also hand-wave the actual French because it's literally been a year since I spoke it sober. (But I'm making an effort now! Literally working on ~mes devoirs~ rn for the first time since high school. yeeeaaah!!)

[identity profile] thecourtier.insanejournal.com 2016-10-03 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh I get you!

I apparently now speak with a really weird mid-Atlantic twang because I spent a year working in the general vicinity of Dom's home town and I did two bouts of study abroad in France. So that's fun XD

She's in Addy's house!
But Addy probably does a AVOID HER UNLESS SHE IS PARTYING thing otherwise she'd get 9w3u4ui234 points lost daily on her outfit choices alone :( And she GENERALLY doesn't care so much about points but like, why invite it.
But at parties she will for sure chat at her like they have no differences in the world bc points are just points etc etc

RAH RAH SENIOR AZURCRESTS

Diego the apologetic rulebreaker. He is constantly fucking up and then feeling Really Sorry about it. So sorry. He's so sorry Quinn he won't do it again. :( And to be fair usually he doesn't do exactly that again, he does... something else. Her low tolerance for bullshit may hurt his feelings from time to time, because Diego is napkin-like in emotional strength. BUT he's of course otherwise very sweet and attentive and NEEDS TO BE LOVED so he's probably made a lot of effort to be her friend and be flirty and cute in her direction.

Reid knows her probably through getting yelled at for climbing things. No amount of yelling can get him to cut it out. He gets down and then the next day HE'S RIGHT BACK AT IT. He's also in Archery with her~

Calvin was a mean kid last year, but now not so much. I think this year he wants to see A LOT LESS of Quinn in his life. That said, he respects she's driven and smart and knows to toe the line with her. Oh! And he's in Event Committee with her. :)

[identity profile] laaurel.insanejournal.com 2016-10-01 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
oh man oh man
i can't actually tell how laurel and quinn will be :u i could see laurel being one of the people in sophomore year to be like YO QUINN ILU BUT YOU ARE TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW ? but then going back to whatever understanding they had before. hopefully friendly? i mean, it's laurel. she could use quinn's get-down-to-business kinda attitude & is 100% there for when she's ready to let loose c: that said, herbology is supposedly one of laurel's better classes, so maybe they could be study buddies~

zoey and quinn have quidditch in common & other things! maybe potions-y rival-y?? that's related to healing maybe?? idk. they definitely bump into eachother here and there.

[identity profile] valentinez.insanejournal.com 2016-10-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
♥ ♥

ohh in that case i'm sure z would be more than willing to help her out/give her some tips here and there c: c: yayyyy

She's out of the game, but down to talk about it! And I think she'd be down for pick-up hockey, she could use a sports outlet to get some aggression out in.

[personal profile] puphart 2016-10-02 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So is Quinn, sort of. As a reserve she doesn't play often, and she took it as being fully kicked off the team when it happened. I hope there are mouth-guard charms for these games, or else Mufferaw's gonna have to lay down some seeerious ban-hammer.

PS Californians barely know what hockey is. why are you playing on that cold stuff, it's not natural, IT COULD BREAK AT ANY MOMENT GET OFF THAT ICE.

HEEEEY GUESS WHO'S ALSO PLANNING TO BE A HEALER

Although tbh Ravi's heart isn't really in it, it's just he's the well-behaved muggleborn son of doctors and becoming a Healer is as close as he can get to fulfilling his parents' expectations. But Ravi's been saying he's planning to become a Healer since before freshman year, and is in serious denial about how he'd rather be doing anything else. 8( So Quinn would definitely know that Ravi is ~Healer competition~, and he's a straight-A student in 9 classes who spends way too much time studying. But Ravi's also been her fellow prefect since sophomore year, and he's a nice, mild-mannered dude who would very very much want to be Quinn's friend. C:

Mina's in her year and Event Committee, probably no secret that she can't stand Quinn because she can't stand any Azurcrests (except Cecil but GOD SHE REALLY HATES HOW NICE CECIL IS, IT'S SO ANNOYING). But in the truth, she has to begrudgingly respect Quinn for being hardworking as hell, and maybe the ONLY hard-ass in that house. Quinn, please, teach Honeychurch to not be such a pushover. Mina won't be nice to her but Mina respects her bluntness and will be direct with her, for what it's worth? (OK also she has a soft spot for the maple syrup running through Quinn's veins, since Mina misses Canada so much. :c)

I don't know what Quinn would think of Sy? He isn't going to change his ways any time soon, but when a prefect tells him to cut it out, he'll stop and walk away in that instance. He doesn't take it personally. I guess I can say that Sy might actually like Quinn for being such a bruiser on the pitch, like, if she's ever knocked him off his broom during a game, then that's like ♥_♥ tbh.
riledup: ((+) omg i'm such a neeerd)

[personal profile] riledup 2016-10-02 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
NATE IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS, we can pick and/or choose: prefect pals! academic rivals! herbology tutor! Though I will warn you that picking him as Herbology tutor will contribute to his losing his damn mind. =DDDD

RILEY: is a pain in the ass. And in her house. And likes to get points taken away. And needs to be told to button up her shirt and roll your skirt back down a lot.

ROSY: prefects! They're also both kind of hardasses compared to the rest of their houses, so respect.

ROBIN (oh god i have so many r names): he needs dat study group stat.

I LOVE HER FACE, OMG.

I think her and Vee would be AWESOME friends. Vee is also an overachiever and taking so many classes and in all the events she can. I can see it being friendly competition too, but I'll leave that up to you if it gets more intense on Quinn's side LOL. Either way, Vee understands.

Ryan, my newest, is the only other one who would interact with her a lot since he's a senior. Sadly, he won't be super friends with her, but he wouldn't be cruel. And I'm always up for random interaction.

THIS IS NOT A PROPER RESPONSE. But I swear it said (Hanucks represent!) the first time I checked this post and I seriously was like "HM. I wonder if that is some special term for Hamiltonians." I was also going to say something mean about the Blue Jackets, but then I wikied the Maple Leafs and wow yeah, okay, I now understand the depths of Quinn's misery.

I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THING and didn't even notice it was fixed until now. Kas you coined a new demonym, quick add it to the Wikipedia page.

Yay new character! And new Azurcrest to boot~ Obviously, Cecil and I are psyched.

Quinn and Cecil probably know each other fairly well, since they've been in the same house, been Prefects, and been on the Event Committee together for like four years. He definitely appreciates her ability to balance work and play, even if she's a bit more extreme on both sides of that than he is, and recognizes what a kind person she is even if it's not immediately obvious to everyone. I could see them being pals and he's definitely up for study group!

Casper likely only knows Quinn from Quidditch in previous years, where they both played very rough. I feel like somebody had to have broken something, but he probably kind of misses playing against her. That said, he probably likes her more than a lot of the Azurcrests because she's more focused and has a goal that he can respect.

Late reply is late D:

[personal profile] choneychurch 2016-10-09 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yay for Quinn and Cecil~ He'll try to help her enjoy her work a little more or, if he can't, at least bring her baked goods to reward her hard work!

HE CERTAINLY WOULD. Casper maybe feels a smidge bad about actually breaking something, buuuut Quidditch is a rough game. So. And I think he's 110% down for hockey if he's given the chance to learn how to skate first. Because he's from California and that particular skill is not in his repertoire. But yes! I think that could be a lot of fun~

[personal profile] unregrettable 2016-10-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
ROOMIE!!! :D Ahhh so I think Henrietta and Quinn will get on really well, since they sound pretty similar in that they're both practical, hate waffling, and also have Quidditch and Archery in common. And they can hold long conversations about the best athleisure wear. ;) I'm guessing they went through a bit of a rough patch when Quinn was made prefect but maybe now they've just agreed that it's in the past? Het would definitely make an effort to not be obvious about rule-breaking in front of Quinn, since she likes to get on with all her dormmates. Oh and Het definitely envies Quinn's work ethic, since she's finding it harder and harder to maintain that focus, so she'd appreciate being a part of Quinn's study groups.

Aaaaand Pippa probably won't know who Quinn is, but they do have hippie parents in common!

Frankie's a teeny, baby Azurcrest - so same house, yeah!

Nia ([insanejournal.com profile] doused) loves Herbology - so would definitely tutor her, if that's still needed. And she's also a Prefect, so they'd know each other through that as well.
