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.

YOU'D BETTER BE BACK none of your characters will be able to escape Rafael

LMAO GODDAMMIT I WAS WRITING A RESPONSE TO YOU but i think i lost it in the millions of tabs i have open so LET'S DO THIS AGAIN

First, Ravi's probably been trying to be Rafael's GOOD FRIEND since at least sophomore year since Ravi wants to be friends with a) all the prefects in their year and b) all the LARP kids. But that's complicated by how Ravi has had a huge crush on ♥Ricardo♥ since freshman year, and... I imagine Ric kinda adopted Ravi as his OTHER little brother (whom he sometimes inappropriately kissed during RP), so that created a Weird Shadow over that relationship? Like I know we have joint custody of Ricardo as an NPC but DOES THAT SOUND ACCURATE TO YOU? Anyway I'm really excited to see how Rav and Raf (lol) figure out their friendship now that they're free of That Dude. Like Ravi fusses over literally everyone who enters his circle but I think there's some interesting truth to the idea that like... Ravi is only really starting to see that Rafael has fussed over him too in his own way?

Sy is one of those NAUGHTY CHILDREN and incorrigible as fuck, but he doesn't take it too personally when prefects ding him. I mean, he's still a shit, but I think by this point there's a weird fondness of Overly Intense Rafael who keeps going ohohoho I've caught you at it again Sylvester. ♥ Sy hates being challenged but... kind of likes it when people stand up to him, but only a very particular kind of person, and I feel like Rafael would fall into that category?

Mina knows about CONTROL ISSUES and PUSHING YOURSELF TOO HARD. She's not a troublemaker but she is abrasive as hell, and I feel like Rafael's got the temperament to weather most of her sharp edges? Honestly, before Rafael started dating Quinn, he was probably quality boyfriend material, but she's not taking an Azurcrest's sloppy seconds. 8( If he tries to take control from her in Event Committee, she will FIGHT HIM.

I... don't have any thoughts about Micah. I'M SORRY, like he's kind of a scamp but the trouble he gets into is very minor compared to the rest of his house, and Rafael is JUST intimidating enough to not be solicited for a walk-on movie role. Plus I still need to intro him. YIKES I am so behind.
