+1 new person and character!
I'm honestly terrible at doing intro's so... uh. Hi! I'm Willow and you can blame a particular trio of people (y'all know who you are!) for my being here. Currently, I reside in western Pennsylvania where I grew up, but I'm 100% Floridian through and through and decided to make Josh from around an area I'm really familiar with.
Which kinda leads me to the character. Joshua Fairbrass, at your service! He's an adventurous, outdoorsy kid from Clearwater, Florida. Both of his parents work in the MACUSA where they basically clean up after absentee witches and wizards (be it from getting old or just leaving things around by accident). Despite the fact he has a brother, you'd never know it. Josh doesn't talk about Noah, and acts a lot like an only child might since they're not on great terms.
These are Josh's classes if anyone is interested in plotting some backstory or something:
Hermeticism
Charms
Outdoor Education
Potions
Herbology
Defense Against the Dark Arts
Magical Rudiments
Muggle Technology Studies
He's a pretty good student, but can always use a good swift kick in the pants to do more. Anyway, I look forward to playing with y'all! ♥

SO, the most relevant is Dinah Dixon (
My others, not in any real specific order are:
Riley Stamper (
Rosemary Stoker (
Jefferson Key (
Austin McNamara (
Georgiana Mills (

Most relevant to Joshua, I have a fellow Ribbonfin Sophomore, Natalie Prince (this journal). She is a huge bother to his roommates, especially Toby, who she bosses around into hanging out with her 24/7. She's a little socially inept, but also very friendly. If Joshua doesn't mind her being pushy with him, I can see them as friends. She also would've overlapped with him at Ilvermorny, where she was a Horned Serpent.
Of my juniors, JD Pitchford (
Ariadne Flint (
I'm not sure how much Todd and my seniors, Clem and Reece, would know him, but if anything in their apps or blurbs intrigues you I'm game for any kind of plots!
Welcome to the game!!! I'm excited to have you here ❤ I know we have a ton of backstory and it can be overwhelming to catch up, so feel free to come to me with any and all questions.
no subject
Sadly though Natalie and Josh weren't in the same house (he's a Thunderbird), but he's friendly as well so maybe from classes? I can definitely see he'd probably have a lot in common with JD though. Plus they have Dueling and Fencing so maybe we can play on that? Like, a healthy rivalry or something?
no subject
Most relevant of my two is Karen Zabinsky
Ginger this journal is a Ebonhide junior who is a bit of a rich mean girl at times but she loves to debate and she is so not cut out for an outdoor school.
no subject
Karen has a few similar classes, so maybe they know each other from them? Especially potions. That's Josh's best, and if she ever needs help she can definitely come to him.
no subject
But that sounds good and she does need help in potions so she will totally bug him. She needs more friends so if you want them to be friends I would be up for that.
no subject
But sure, I'm definitely down for friends! :)
no subject
And yay friends. I have only been around a couple months so still finding my groove so yay more Karen friends.
no subject
SO. I have six because I'm a horrible person and yes I know this is overwhelming af I'll keep it short.
Concordia Knight (
The rest --
Avery Davenport on this journal: Senior Ribbonfin, so they are both fins together! They are also in Dueling & Fencing, Outdoor Exploration, and Gaming club together. She's extremely friendly and outdoorsy and sportsy, so they probably get along well.
Oscar Zabinsky (
Isabelle Sargent (
Samantha Sweeney (
Salem Wagonblast (
And that's it!
no subject
I love Cori already and would love for them to be friends! Plus Josh knows Spanish so if she's ever in need of finding words for something he can help. Or they can jabber on in Spanish to their heart's content lol. But I can also see him getting on super well with Avery, Oz, and Salem as well. Also, that journal name for Oz is A+ lmfao.
no subject
: D She mostly goes by Dia, since there's a Corrigan in game who went by Cori and now goes by Cor, so it's Cordi or Dia usually. But yes omg she sometimes can't find the proper English words so that would be helpful and she does love jabbering on in Spanish. They'll be fun! Avery, Oz, and Salem will be nice and I see zero problems with friendships there.
And thank you! I tried to be very thematic;
un_kept; a play on "free" and "keeper"
cant_even; cause grl she can't even handle it
oh_girl; frequently said like "oh, girl. calm yourself"
dumb_ass; cause... self explanatory
cheer_leader; again, peppy nightmare
salem_wagonblast; because he takes himself so fuckin' seriously x'D

Paris "Pear" Holloway (
Welcome to Gooseberry!
no subject
I love that the overlap most common so far between everyone here and Josh is D&F. It makes me really glad I put him there. Also, I'll definitely allow the crushing on thing to happen! It might even help that he has a pet tarantula, Bessie, that Pear can fawn over. I don't know if the crush will go both ways, though. We can see how their chemistry is. :)

Most relevant is Archie (this journal) who's an Ebonhide sophomore. Archie is a baby mad scientist with a tendency to stalk people who catch his interest. He's pretty troubled, but soft spoken enough that he comes off as quite sweet. Last year he drugged most of the upperclassmen with Amortentia and just barely avoided being expelled. He... still does shit like that sometimes. Archie's always on board with sophomore shenanigans and mischief, often providing plenty of bad ideas, so if Joshua likes trouble, he might like Archie. Archie himself likes anyone who's not overly aggressive because he has a really low tolerance for stress.
Calvin Evercreech (
Ophelia Noggins (
Spencer Sweet (
Mackenzie Prince (
Reid Wainwright (
no subject
Oh no. Shenanigans with Archie honestly sounds like it'll become a beautiful disaster, and I'm absolutely 1000% on board with that lmfao. And on the bright side, Josh can recognize when things get too far so maybe that can help temper Archie a bit? Plus Josh would never rat the guy out if he was the one caught.
I can definitely see Cal and Spencer being good points in school life for sure. As long as there isn't this overwhelming sense of "don't come near me" I think he'd try to maybe help Cal out when he's in bad moods by distraction. With Spencer, I like that he's not very subtle. It might definitely make Josh laugh.
no subject
Excellent on all counts! Archie definitely need someone to be like.... hey. Don't.
Yeah, Calvin's not antisocial, he's just prickly. He has a soft spot for people with big fun personalities so he probably will enjoy Josh's company.
no subject
first up is this kid here, tobias rush, ribbonfin sophomore and one of josh's cabinmates. tobias is either really easy to get along with, or really infuriating, depending on your pov. he's got a dumb puppy's personality: happy, amenable, easy to please, and just... really not bright. he does not always make the best choices. toby's on the quidditch team and is something of a sports prodigy, so he'll always be down to run around outside with josh!
next is marie patterson (
jonah pitchford (
cassius holcomb (
and lastly, ulysses quayle (
no subject
Toby is probably on Josh's list of favorite people in school already tbh. Josh just doesn't do team sports, but I think he'd really enjoy watching and probably help any way he can. If that means things like endurance training, then so be it! Plus happy people are always alright.
And actually, a lot of your characters have some really great overlap with Josh. I kind of really love this!
no subject
and excellent, excellent, excellent. this sounds v good. also, i'm a dipshit and i clearly gave up on typing my character's journals before i made it to the end of the list good job self
zach can be found @

Here they are in I don't know what order!
Ferdie Ayers at
Addy Foster-Hayes at
Jade Otterwell is at
Ira Ashworth is at this journal and he's a Coppertale Junior. He's a wannabe healer/overachiever who ends up getting in way too much trouble for his 4.0. He's forming a debate team! He may talk at Josh because he doesn't ever shut up.
Tuesday North is my sophomore and who knows why she's last? She's at
no subject
ngl though I absolutely love the idea of battles with Jade. Definitely not to the death but it sounds like there's potential for a healthy rivalry and I'm down for that.

Nisha Lewis
Griffin Flowers
Antonia Papadakis
Lucas Kowalksi
Yancey Montgomery
Daniel Notoriano
no subject
I also love that so much can be said of Danny by just saying he's an asshole lmfao. But I can totally see Nisha and Josh being friendly. Very Bad Ideas tend to make fun happen and Josh is all for that.
no subject
i'm kay, welcome to the game c: c:
i play four characters here at gb & apologies in advance for the novel. im very bad at being concise ;-;
my children are,
most relevant to least relevant (relatively) --
madison ives,
i also play pandora lacey, this journal. she's an azurcrest sophomore & reserve for their quidditch team. pan's v academically oriented, a jack of all trades, flits from topic of interest to topic of interest, etc. she's generally friendly and open-minded and agreeable, but also kind of a lil weirdo. she also has a brother, heathcliff, in coppertale. she and joshua are in a bunch of classes together & i think she'd like him! they can definitely be buddies, if you want. c:
lastly & less relevantly are
jonathan wilde, aka wilde,
phineas bones,
ANYWAY yes welcome welcome &

Most relevant is Rupert Wick (
Irrelevant children:
Ramon Delgado (
Hazel Keating (this journal) is a Junior Coppertale, cheerleader, sassy thing. She's got Outdoor Exploration with Josh and loves to climb trees! And adventure! Probably thinks he's cute and solid!
Jaime Castillo (
Phoebe Maycott (
Eileen Coffin (
no subject
But I also love the idea of maybe Hazel and Josh egging each other on to do things in OE. If she likes climbing trees, let's see how high she's willing to go~
no subject
Sofia (this journal) - Senior Azurcrest. He probably won't have much to do with her tbh, she's off in her own world.
Grace (

So, Juniper here is the most relevant, being a sophomore as well, and also being big time into D&F! Also, her mother is MACUSA. Junie is super duper friendly and is big on knowing all the people.
Gwen Popplestone,
Thaddeus Butterfield,
no subject
no subject
Webster and Josh don't have a ton of overlap but they are both in OE together. Also, Webster is fluent in Spanish and pretty much fluent in French (although he's less confident in it), so they've probably discovered that commonality, too!

and i'm very behind on intros!!!kurt wolfhart (
corrigan bailey (
CASEY patterson (this journal!) is a senior coppertale. he's cheer captain and is the student with the key to the dance studio, which he thinks makes him DANCE COMMANDER. he's a bro who's *trying* to be good, but often fails. tragically short attention span, endless energy, and an ego the size of betelgeuse. josh and he prob won't cross paths much, but if they do, i'm... so... so sorry.
no subject
dude Josh would love animal facts. especially if they're random. it might make any day instantly brighter because knowledge bomb.
though tbh any and all cr would be welcome.
