Hi, guys! It's Brittany with my new kid, Dahlia Hale.

Dahlia is a Muggleborn Ebonhide senior, Seeker for the team, and from NYC. She's only been at Gooseberry since her junior year, previously she went to Covenstead for three years and Ilvermorny (Horned Serpent) for her first two years of school. She was sent to Gooseberry in hopes that a structured, positive learning environment would help to calm her down and would have a positive effect on her school performance. I'm pretty bad at intros so I've done a list.


- She's Jewish and from a small family, her parents are both career obsessed and have pretty high positions in their respective careers, her dad is pretty much the Jewish Bernard Black. She also has an older brother who despite only being three years older than her has watched over and protected her since they were kids. Since her parents were always working she and her brother spent most of the time they weren't at school/activities with their maternal grandparents. Dahlia is the first magical person to be born in the Hale family for five generations.

- Was extremely wary of purebloods until she went to Covenstead and became more accustomed to the magical world, now she's not so wary of them but she still hates the whole blood status thing.

- Got sent to Gooseberry because she was always skipping school when she was at Covenstead and was on the verge of being kicked out until her school counselor and former art teacher decided to bring it to her parents' attention. It was suggested that they enroll her at Gooseberry which they did without her knowledge.

- Is a bit of an asshole and somewhat anti-social. She's always had trouble making friends but has gotten a bit better at it as she's grown older. She's still grumpy, though.

- Is very artistic and can always be seen either drawing/painting/doing something that involves art. She's also a multi-instrumentalist and can play the piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Her artistic talent is what got her into the school, though the donation from her parents also helped.

- Pretty much a hipster from Brooklyn, though don't ever call her that because she'll probably punch you in the face. She's a city girl and tends to complain a lot about the bathroom/sleeping situation and not having the internet. She's also extremely uncomfortable being around horses.

- She's a chain smoker and pretty much lives off of bad food, cigarettes, and black coffee.

- Is always looking for volunteers to help her practice using charms with art since that's a big part of her senior project.

Here is her full app! I'm looking for a few friends for her and people who she wanted to come back to Gooseberry for. Maybe some people she got along with when she was briefly at Ilvermorny. People who don't like her since she can be a downer and somewhat difficult to get along with. And maybe a few exes?

SO. Rafael and Dahlia might not get along so well, but he is really fond of a lot of those senior Ebonhides. I guess we'll need to see how they interact, but considering Rafael is an unabashed authoritarian, there might be some conflict!

Diego... it depends? They're in music together, and Diego does take his music very seriously. But he's also flighty and a pureblood, so that might count against him. However, he's almost definitely put out a lot of effort to win her over. If she can tolerate him, Diego's available as a friend, past boyfriend and/or current hookup option. If she finds him annoying, well, he's just going to have to KEEP TRYING to charm her.

Reid and Dahlia might struggle to interact since they're both antisocial. However, he'll know of her through Quidditch, and last year he was her rival Seeker. Reid is an uh-may-zing flier, but had no focus or drive and it cost him the spot so now he's a Chaser.

Aaaand Calvin and Dahlia are unlikely to cross paths much, if ever. Buuuut maybe they'll end up talking on the journals. WHO KNOWS.
