Oh hey friends.
I am back, back again, with my fourth and therefore (boo) last. This is Saira Raza (yes, I picked the character whose name is almost identical to my own JUST TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE HARD,) Coppertale junior girl and ultimate studyholic. Her short description is 'Gooseberry's answer to Hermione Granger, now with more studying' and that basically sums it up. She's taking nine classes and is also on Event Commitee. She isn't your typical brash-and-bossy Coppertale, if only because growing up with the mother she has means that she learned to get her way more subtly most of the time (but she usually does get her way. She'd call it 'sly,' but what she actually is, is manipulative as hell.) She spends MOST of her time on school work and making sure she is THE BEST STUDENT and ALWAYS FLAWLESS because she has spent the majority of her life trying to prove that she's just as good as her two brothers, and to do so she actually has to be like ten times better than them for her parents to notice. Her twin did NOT get into Gooseberry, and her mom would still say he's the jewel of the family, so there you go. Her older brother Kazim IS here, hint hint hint.
Saira wants to be a Healer, specifically a mind Healer, hence the Occlumency, and her senior project is (unofficially, but it's what she's already working on) going to be Legilimency.
For reference, her family is Muslim and she does wear a hijab, idk if that will ever come up ICly but not every single one of the icons I have for her reflects this (most do, but there are few enough of Golshifteh Farahani without ruling out ones where you can see her hair completely) so I just wanted to state that whether it's apparent in the icon or not, she does.
Anything? Anyone? Bueller?
-Sara (Ree, Isaiah, and Gabi, all of whom are also open for new plotting for anyone who wants or whose intros I have missed, esp. Zay and Gabi, I NEED PLOT FOR THEM GUYS CMON.)

Rafael and Saira maybe are study buddies? And by that I mean they probably pull all nighters and obsessively compare notes. He's also got a severe, competitive streak, so they can push one another. He's got a warm heart and good sense of humor, though, and will be a steady, level headed friend for Saira. Plus gentle teasing. ♥ OH, and his project also involves Legilimency! He's working on creating a new spell that enchants gloves to follow nuanced orders, even when the verbal orders are vague/unclear. Results are hilariously mixed.
Diego is probably another useless prettyboy to her, haha. Talented musician, but nary a single logical thought going on in that head. He's not as dumb as he acts but he's still no genius, and is obscenely easy to manipulate with a little attention.
Reid is in her year and house yay! Uh, he's used to all the intensity in Coppertale, and he'll let Saira boss him around 90% of the time. He's good at transfiguration, flying, and virtually nothing else.
Calvin and Saira are in event committee! He's also a really driven academic who gets super competitive, but unlike Saira he's got a more "work smart, not hard" tactic to school. Which is to stay he studies his teacher's habits and styles as much the material so he never wastes time memorizing anything that he doesn't need to know. This is working for him so far.

Yeah she dismisses Diego out of hand, esp. after the rumors. USELESS.
Poor Reid. She will help him study if he likes but I BET he will like it about as much as Harry liked it when Hermione did it.
Oh god that's going to piss her off so much. Or would if she knew about it.
no subject
That's fair because yeah DIEGO IS OFTEN EXTRAORDINARILY USELESS.
I imagine last year he was really resistant and it was a battle of the wills. Buuuuut he almost lost his scholarship, and this year might come crawling back to her about uh so hey remember when you said you'd help me study........ The fact she ever tried at all ensures he really does like Saira a lot.
Hahaha it's terrible, he's a little snake (buh-dum-tsh). It's my plan that Vector is going to figure it out this year and try to get him to shape up.

...true.
I mean, she would have tried for like a session or two and then been like "I am only trying to help you, if you don't want my help have fun failing," and gotten back to her own studying, but if he came back this year she'd be very forgiving, because the mere IMPLICATION that she was right all along would give her so much happiness.
HA. That'll be fun.
