Hello everyone! It's Meggie (Diego, Calvin, Reid), here with someone I'm really sorry exists.

This is Rafael Ramirez, a senior Coppertale prefect, who everyone will probably at least know as being a mercilessly strict rule enforcer who enjoys his position way too much. Here are some other things about him, though!

Excellent social graces, very confident and authoritative. Knows all of your names and at least a few things about you. Does the fox proud, i.e. always wants to be in charge. Playful, good sense of humor. But he kind of has a lot of sharp edges that make him just a liiiiiiittle uncomfortable to be around sometimes.
Really cares about people. If you're his friend then he's super nosy and getting him to BTFO is hard. HE JUST LOVES YOU SO MUCH. LET HIM HELP YOU.
Ballet prodigy. Unfortunately, right after sophomore year, Rafael had a severe knee injury that ended his ballet career prematurely. He says he's over it. (He's not over it.) He's still a fantastic dancer, though, and every morning gathers with other students to practice. Anyone can join in, but if you show up to ogle the dancers he's browbeating you until you leave or join.
STRICT PREFECT. Rafael loves being a prefect, as in he thinks it's really fun to track down rule breakers. If you are one of these naughty children, Rafael might very well actually like you, since he sees his PURSUIT OF THE LAW as actually just a super fun competition. He has no moral objections to illegal activity.
Speaking of which, he's horribly competitive. Any time someone is in opposition to him, Rafael gets ruthless. He's waaaay into winning. He's a min-maxer in D&D, and pretty awful in LARP too. He's terrible at the role playing thing and does not get attached to his characters, but he's really good at building killing machines.
When there's a party, he publishes PARTY RULES which are just a new set of rules that allow everyone to have an awesome time while Rafael still feels in control. He's going to be making wards to the prefects all the time and I'm so sorry.

And there are a couple relationships people might be aware of:

Rafael is the son of Lorenzo and Anita Ramirez, who are a very well known celebrity couple in the Spanish-speaking wizarding world. There's always a tabloid story about their inevitable divorce or a cheating scandal.
Ricardo Ramirez, Rafael's dreamy older brother, just graduated. He was a founding member of LARP, and he was known for getting into really intense IC romances. Ric and Raf (lol very funny mom and dad) did not get along very well. Senior LARPers, feel free to say Ric flirted with your character while "in character", and then was like HAHA IT'S JUST A GAME I'M GREAT WITH BOUNDARIES. Ricardo is getting married to his high school sweetheart soon, so if anyone would like to say that this is their older sister or cousin, that would be really cool!
Sophomore to junior year, Rafael was dating Quinn Cunningham, and they were a terrifying rule-enforcing power couple that you didn't want to see on rounds together. However, Ricardo decided he didn't like Quinn, and nitpicked that relationship until the couple split last year.
CLASSES: Charms, Hermeticism, Potions, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Occlumency
CLUBS: Duelling/Fencing, Gaming, LARP, Event Committee

Cecil and Maggie: Rafael totally tries to exert more power than he ought to sometimes, but he will toe the line if you tell him off. HE KNOWS WHO HIS BOSSES ARE. He's also your bad cop enforcer, and will eagerly be the mean prefect you can sic on people. ;*

FRIENDS! ENEMIES! PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENGAGE IN HIS DETECTIVE VS. CRIMINALS GAME! His full bio is here, and I'm excited to get started.

OKAY. SO. HE'D HAVE LINES WITH BOTH MY BABIES.

Maggie is privately relieved that Rafael didn't make Head Boy this year because omg that's too much power in his hands. She's definitely Good Cop and appreciates his Bad Cop attitude, and it was a relief to her whenever she ended up on prefect duty with him because that meant she didn't have to Mom Scold anyone and look bad. She just got to play the Disappointing Mom shaking her head in the background while Dad gets the belt.

Now that she's HG, she'll try to reign him back if she feels he's getting too power-hungry but she's also content to use him as an attack dog and so he'll be up on her priority list when it comes to asking who wants what patrols. -- I MEAN, FAVORITISM? WHAT? NO, THAT'S WRONG-- but ok sweetie what nights suit you best and who do you work well with?

Gotta keep dat love and loyalty within the ranks.

She also has a lot of classes with him and she's in duelling club too! So they'll be seeing a lot of each other.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT AND NOW ON TO LEVI.

So the majority of the residents on the island Levi was born and raised on are Mexican and Mexican-American and so he grew up speaking Spanish and consuming their media. THERE IS NOT MUCH TO DO THERE so omg, I bet he sat around with little old ladies and listened to Rafael's mama on the radio and was read the hot goss in the Mexican newspapers.

He might've had a crush on Ricardo because he was an older boy and the HANDSOME ACTOR SON OF FAMOUS ACTRESS ANITA RAMIREZ and blurred that ic/ooc line in LARP to try to flirt with him ICly. But-- y'know, it's totally in-character because he's a bard and the serenading is all part of his charming bard act and not because HANDSOME ACTOR SON OF FAMOUS ACTRESS ANITA RAMIREZ.

And Levi is Levi so he is going to make bold passes at Rafael too (tbh I think only Diego is spared from his advances) and he'll more than happily make a game out of playing Cops and Robbers with him because he likes breaking the rules and he also likes banter.

Also, I love that he's a min/maxer because THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE IN OUR D&D GROUP AND THEY DRAG THE GAME OUT FOR HOURS BECAUSE THEY TAKE TWELVE YEARS TO LEVEL UP THEIR CHARACTER AND WILL FUSS OVER THE RULES AND DETAILS WITH THE GM AND omg. omg I love it. Levi's just gonna be like "Why can't you just play like Ricardo and min/max your romance routes instead? ;^( "

RAFAEL LOVES MAGGIE, and is glad she became Head Girl, even if sometimes he fantasizes about how absolutely cool and definitely not terrifying it would have been if he and Tess were made Head Girl and Boy. To be perfectly honest, when all the Head of House sat down with Bloom to talk about selecting the Head Boy/Girl, the first thing Vector did was cross Rafael's name off the list. He was never even in the running.

He's definitely loyal to her, and still happy to be the Strict Dad Prefect. He's not so great at her arts & crafts nights, but she can probably redirect him to helping freshmen and sophomores.

AND LEVI. OH NO THAT'S SO CUTE WITH HIM LISTENING TO RAFAEL'S MAMA. Rafael could have owled his mom for a bunch of autographed photos for Levi to bring back to all his little old ladies.

Aaaaand Ricardo was more than happy to flirt back with Levi, and Rafael was perhaps heard fighting with him over HOW INAPPROPRIATE THAT WAS and Ricardo was like RAFAEL YOU JUST DON'T ~GET IT~ LIKE LEVI DOES, WE'RE ARTISTS. Now that Ric is gone, Rafael will flirt back with Levi, and probably often plays the role of being OH SO SCANDALIZED by Levi's shamelessness. He's happy to banter about what a troublesome rulebreaker Levi is and how next time he's totally going to catch him, just you wait.

LMFAOOO OH MY GOD I KNOW. Rafael is my opposite in tabletop technique, but it's going to be fun and I've definitely played with people like him. Rafael never ever does IC romances. Ric made him think that NO ONE HAS ANY BOUNDARIES. Any time Rafael gets close to an IC romance he SHUTS THAT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.

fasjkdlfj She'll be clever with her wording: would you please see if they need any help and make sure they clean up their stations and put all their craft supplies back before leaving? :^)

aka "DON'T LET THEM LEAVE A MESS BEHIND FOR US TO CLEAN UP AND DON'T LET THEM WALK OFF WITH OUR BRUSHES AND THE DIE CUTTER."

omgomgomgomg JUST. THE LIL OLD LADIES PLEASED AS PUNCH and asking Levi questions about the Ramirez boys and if Anita's ever come in to visit. Levi gets super popular among the abuelitas and he owes it all to Rafael~

What if Ricardo was the reason Levi joined LARP in the first place? He just came in his Sophomore year, heard Ricardo (Handsome Actor Son of Famous Actress Anita Ramirez) was in some hybrid drama-OE group and was like, "PUT MY FUCKING NAME DOWN RIGHT NOW." Tears the sign-up sheet paper and snaps the tip of the quill because he wrote too enthusiastically.

"Mmm yea~ we're artists, Rafael~~! We're in-character." Flashes the SHITTIEST, SMUGGEST GRIN BECAUSE HE KNOWS. HE KNOWS AND RAFAEL KNOWS THAT HE KNOWS AND LEVI KNOWS THAT RAFAEL KNOWS THAT HE KNOWS. He probably made, like, the most appealing character he possibly could to whatever character Ricardo was playing because he is an ABSOLUTE TURD. "OH, your character is [trait]? My character is [complementing trait]. :^)"

oh god i can't wait for this

LMAO oh god, Exceedingly Handsome Ricardo Ramirez is also the reason Ravi joined LARP. Allegedly Heterosexual Ricardo Ramirez Who Has A Girlfriend was a blight on the boys in this class apparently. 8|

Altho Ric recruited Ravi in freshman year, which means this is the first year Ravi has been free to experience LARP Club without Ricardo's QUESTIONABLE BUT UNBEARABLY CHARMING BULLSHIT. Ravi definitely had several ill-advised IC romances with that dude. Probably also several ill-advised IC love triangles (or squares or dodecahedrons) while poor Rafael looks on as his older brother flirts with every person in his class????

BUT THIS IS WHY EVERYONE IN LARP CLUB IS SO TIGHT NOW :')

oooooooooooooooooh my god. Levi-Ricardo-Ravi in an IC love triangle and Levi pushing for a polyship. "WHY OTP WHEN YOU CAN HAVE OT3??"

And Ricardo was like "Yes, why must we be constrained by the expectations of society, my heart beats for you both~"

And then Rafael promptly betrayed and murdered that character of Ric's. :|

I AM WHEEZING

ok but you know the second ric rerolled, levi was hot after his new character OR he tried to initiate a melodramatic resurrection plotline and put the spotlight back on ric

...ravi would help him tbh because ravi practiced extremely poor decision making when it came to larp and ricardo SIGH

oh my fucking god. playing the ~POOR WIDOWS~ plotline because they're suckers for ricardo

adjkhfjk it's taken until this year for Ravi to appreciate what a bro Rafael has been to him by repeatedly RP-murdering his schoolboy crush.

meanwhile, levi was probably like "lmao raf totally has a crush on me, he killed his brother bc he was a jelly bean :^)"

LMAO LEVI DON'T SAY THAT because then Ravi will be CONCERNED that he's hurting Rafael's feelings and be like "Levi :(( if that's the case maybe you should talk to Rafael about his obvious crush on you :((( how would you feel if the boy you liked only flirted with your brother :(((("

levi feels an UNUSUAL AND STRONG STAB OF HYPOTHETICAL JEALOUSY but that's an uncomfortable emotion so he turns it on him to deflect, "maybe he has a crush on you. :))))"

SDJKFH GOD tbh depending on when in the year this happened, Ravi's answer would've been either "oh he definitely does not, we're like brothers" or "HAHA NO HE DEFINITELY DOES NOT HAHA ;;" because... there was an Incident last year where Ravi kissed Rafael during LARP and it was definitely not something they are going to repeat again

i know i've said ravi lets loose during larp but i think i totally underestimated how much he is lying to himself when he's like "oh no i'm very careful to practice healthy boundaries while i'm rping" sdjkfh

anyway i'm sure that when Rafael is listening in on this conversation, he totally doesn't now want to murder them too

HE IS NOT RICARDO 2.0 RAVI >:CCCCCCCC

WOW THAT WAS NOT WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH RAVI'S MIND AT ALL

i mean it might have occurred to him at some point that there was a physical similarity and also the same very fetching accent but

NOT AT ALL WHAT HE WAS THINKING, THIS WAS JUST THE CHARACTER

ok but levi is impressed ravi managed to kiss the min/maxer. or did raf become a min/maxer because of the kiss? OR DID RAVI JUST WANT TO KISS RAF ANYWAY??? to be continued

w/e if he murders them, they'll just reroll as characters with cherry-picked traits to match ric's.

he has always minned and maxed

no one's kisses can change this about raf

~~AND THEN RAFAEL BURNED THE SCHOOL TO THE GROUND~~
