Holden grew up in Dorchester! He's seriously wondering if there's something in the water there. He honestly would not be surprised. Ryan might recognize his accent, because it hits you like a ton of Wahlbergs. OH and he went to muggle school with Chris! He probably recognized him all O_O sup when they got to school together. But he's a shy doormat so that's probably all they've got going.

Ryan might recognize Sylla's last name as dark arts related and legacy-linked, not that she ever really talks about it, because ugh how gauche. Yeah she has some dead/imprisoned Rosiers and Selwyns back in the old family tree if he digs hard enough, but why talk about that when she can be enigmatic and questionable as well! She's in dueling with him, and generally creeps around the rest of the time.

And then there's this boy Wes! Coppertale Senior, Cajun AF, Potions talent and destined to be a faith healer some day (soon he hopes, but lbr, that ain't in the cards). He's an open book and his personal image he projects is sweet as Louisiana pecan pie, with unbelievable cocky swaggery a la mode. omg honey find yo chill that bad boy thang ain't cute~ He'll try to cheer him up, because that's generally his role in Coppertale, anyway, and it generally radiates outward also :P
