Hey y'all! Jordan again with number 2 ( yes, I know that's was very fast. )

This here is Avery Davenport. She's a Ribbonfin Junior with an Azurecrest type level of energy. Captain of the Quidditch Team, overachiever, hyper feminine and just hyper in general sixteen year old. She's very excitable, loves hanging out with friends, and is one of those gross people who goes on early morning runs. Avery is a MTF trans girl, though unless your character went to Queens School of Magic, you are highly unlikely to know that. She is currently transitioning. Avery was also adopted by Olivia Sanchez's parents not long before the girls went to Gooseberry.

Avery is super friendly so definitely looking for some friends! Obviously looking for everything including enemies etc. No exes, though. Avery hasn't dated at all! For more on her, here's her bio

Hi Jordan!

Yay, we now have a Senior, Junior and Sophomore at Gooseberry who all went to QSM! Joanna, as the sophomore, will have known her being in the year above I think?

Dom is in the same year group, Tabs is Ribbonfin cheer captain, and Will... is the one who won't know her. Ah well, can't win 'em all!

YAY! Yes, Joanna would but she may or may not have noticed that during her years at QSM she transitioned from Nicholas to Avery.

Dom and her I think would get along, mostly because Quidditch love (and she's not antagonistic about it) and love of the outdoors, so they have some stuff in common and she's a nice girl, so I don't see an outright reason for either to dislike the other.

Tabs is in the same boat. They've got being in the same house together and her being Cheer captain for the Quidditch team which Avery is captain of, they've at least got that in common. They also are both nice and somewhat girly so I can see them getting online fine.

And Will, well. We can always see I guess!

Hiya!

Harriet will be friendly, and she's the same house as Olivia, so I can see them getting along!

Yay friends! <3

ALSO IS THAT THE PB FROM SCREAM?

Yep :D

HELLO FINAL ROOMMATE. I'm pretty sure I missed replying to Penelope's intro, SO. I'm Manx and I have Ursula, Essie, Sun-mi and Jacob.

Ursula is probably the member of the cabin most into makeup and clothes and such (though she's more perfectly pressed professionalism than hyper feminine), so I can see her and Avery getting along well with that shared interest. (She is not terrible interested in Quidditch though and missed Ribbonfin's first game of the year, oops.) She's a generally friendly, if prissy, sort.

Also, Avery's gender identity is 100% her own business, but given that she is private about it, I was wondering how that plays into roommate dynamics given the shared small space? Are you imagining Avery comes off as shy about her body and avoids changing around her roommates or something else?

OTHERWISE, Sun-mi is also relevant as her Senior prefect and a member of the Ribbonfin Cheer Squad. She's a very supportive sort and tries to make herself available as a confidante. She's also very bad about rules enforcement and let's Ravi take the brunt of that work. Sun-mi is something of a swaggering tomboy femme sort, but she does enjoy nail polish!

Essie has some shared clubs (Dueling, OE), but otherwise she's a Sophomore so not as much interaction. Jacob is also in those two clubs and has a decent amount of class overlap with her. He's a book loving quidditch hating nerd who's been bullied for years at Hogwarts but he's trying hard to come off as a cool kid Coppertale bro this year so IDK how they would interact, but she's probably not a fan at face value.

WHY HAI THERE.

While Avery takes Quidditch very seriously she's not hyper aggressive about it so she won't mind much that Ursula isn't into it and it's definitely not her first topic to talk about when she wants to hang out. I think the girliness and everything will definitely make them friendly!

And yes, I am playing it that she is extremely body-conscious and shy. She likely gets dressed in a bathroom stall or does that awesome girl trick of changing your clothes over other clothes to never show anything. She probably mumbles something about 'scars' or 'being fat' or something if anyone inquires.

Sun-mi - I think these two would get along, and being in cheer and all would mean they at least have something in common/spend some time together because rally around Quidditch etc etc! I can see these two becoming decent friends, for sure!

At first glance, I don't see Jacob and Avery being the best of friends but I think their shared experiences with bullying and love of reading and running and the fact that she isn't highly competitive or cares about winning might mean they get along just fine.

Same for Essie - I can see being friendly but you're right, there's just not a ton of interaction there.

As for Penny -

She probably hates them all, tbh. Happy people irritate her, and she's not particularly girly. She'd know Jacob from being in the same house and she's uber competitive too but IMPORTANTLY - is not a bully and totally against it so they could be like, people who talk sometimes xD

yayyy :D

Z definitely knows and loves Avery -- i mean, Quidditch!! ♥ ♥
Ribbonfin has a super strong Chaser girl squad and I'm sure that has a lot to do with leadership from their captain. c:

Laurel probably likes her quite a bit too! She's a fan of Olivia's, so. ♥

YOU STOLE MY PB. I mean hi. :D Freya Mavor is my life.

Zoey - Yess yay <3 And um YEA IT MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR AWESOME CAPTAIN XD Also, I think I can see them getting along decently otherwise. Z can intro her to creepypasta and make her realize her love of horror films.

And yes for Laurel! I feel like Avery probably likes most of Ollie's friends <3

Heyyyyy!

So, Calvin probably loves her, if she can tolerate that he's a little abrasive. He's a passionate supporter of Ribbonfin's Quidditch team and attends every game, because he's British and ex-Slytherin and... they take their Quidditch seriously. There's a lot less cheating in Ribbonfin compared to Slytherin BUT THEY'RE STILL JUST AS GOOD. Calvin and Avery may or may not be close, but he respects her a lot anyway.

Reid is a rival Quidditch player over in Coppertale. He's probably been... just fine at Avery, his usual awkward self. He's no good at rivalries.

Diego has likely flirted with Avery in the past, and in general he's very warm and attentive and tries very hard to appeal to people. Buuuut he does have that whole... cheating on Tabitha thing, which may complicate any friendly relationship he could have with Avery. But if she wants to be his friend, Diego will be her friend readily.

And Rafael will mostly know Avery from Duelling, plus he's an assertive bossy prefect. He'll be kind and poised with Avery, but he's always got that competitive edge. He's a Coppertale Quidditch supporter til the grave.

YAAAYYY HEYYYY!

She can tolerate it as long as its not outright bullying. Abrasiveness isn't necessarily a bad quality in all cases. I can see them getting along fine and his love of Quidditch makes her super happy! I can definitely see them being very close too!

Reid - Lol, she has NO rivalry. Avery just loves Quidditch, she doesn't care much about winning or the competition so she probably gives him big smiles and hugs after each game whether her team won or lost or whatever and she'll be nice to him <3

Diego - omg kill her more pls. Avery is no good at flirting and would probably blush profusely and run away. She has zero interest in dating (not true, it just terrifies her) so she would always likely stick with just really good friends! Plus she'd never want to be the "other woman" lmao.

Raf - Lucky for him, she's not uber competitive so he doesn't have to worry about her teasing or throwing jabs at him about Quidditch or anything! She also follows the rules because she likes to fly under the radar so he probably hasn't had much bad interaction with her, except maybe her late-night wanderings when she's trying to be alone! Then she would apologize and scurry away because confrontation = BAD. xD

Actually, Calvin is a reformed bully! Back at Hogwarts, his roommate was a bully and Calvin pulled a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". He's remorseful, but it's been a process, he's still just prickly. Nowadays he's actively bullied by Sy Stoker, Coppertale's Quidditch captain. If he and Avery are close, he'd have told her all of that.

If that's the case, then Reid likes her. She's cool. He's glad to know another person who cares more about playing than winning/losing, which has always been a tough thing to get him excited about.

Haha! LUCKILY (???) Diego and Tabitha are long since broken up and he's single and pining after one of his roommates. But he'll definitely be a friend to Avery, and probably loves her energy. He's pretty excitable too.

Oh noooo, he'd feel bad. XD He's severe, but when people take him personally he's a little remorseful (or irritated if they lose their tempers at him, but that's not Avery!). If he's caught on that she dislikes confrontation, he'll try to... scale back.

Aww I want them to be BFFls. Back in the day day I feel like Avery got in fights when she was bullied during her transition which is also not the appropriate response, they can bond over their not-so-well-handled pasts. I have headcanon for them already stop.

Right? So many people who play sports are so competitive, even NON coppertales! And she's just over here like OH MY GOD ENERGY PLAYING YAY LETS HAVE FUN GUYS! Probably why she makes a good captain, because she's not tearing them down or telling them they aren't doing well, she's all about positive reinforcement and THE FEEL GOOD FEELS.

LOL IS THAT LUCKY? Haven't I been seeing all over everything that Diego is getting into a relationship with someone OR AM I CONFUSING PEOPLE? I mean, I'm open to whatever I just thought he was off limits xD BUT either way Avery is still extremely nervous about dating so while she may have been shoving feelings of crushes down on anyone for years and years, that might not last forever!

Aw how sweet, scaling back the reprimands because she gets all teary eyed when she's yelled at or in trouble xD so cute.

Ahhhh, yes, cute, I'm into it! He'll show up for every game to cheer her and the rest of the team on.

RIBBONFIN IS SUCH A SWEET HOUSE. Admittedly, Reid is a.... difficult, unmotivated player. He needs Sy to push him. But he'll still really like how chill Avery is.

DIEGO IS... EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE. He's a huge mess, Avery should not date him ever, she's a nice girl who deserves better. Diego has a serious crush on Cecil, and he hooked up with Chris, and he has a flirty thing going on with Ravi, etc. He's my disaster character.

Oh my god, if he ever made her cry he'd feel like dirt and it would turn from scolding to comforting.

Yay!

ISN'T IT THO? I wanted Ebonhide but Avery kinda fit best before I even thought more about her in Ribbonfin and I totally love it now. Maybe she can help encourage of love of just playing and get him more motivated!

THATS RIGHT I THOUGHT I'D BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT DIEGO AND CECIL. (Blame Roz, she gives me all the good gossip). LOL POOR BBY. But I love to torture my characters so IF IT HAPPENS THAT HE ACTUALLY IS SWEET ENOUGH FOR HER TO LIKE IT'LL BE GREAT TORTURE.

And then he'd never scold her again and it'd be like winning xD Except she's not that conniving.

Hiiii i suck and did not respond to your email about this BUT HERE; YES friends with Addy pleeeaase!!! Addy will like her :) I would respond with a pll gif but I am now at work oops

And then she has plot with Leo too! Because they were... assuming I know how middle school Quidditch works...probably on the Queens school team together! So he would probably know of her transition but was never a bully about it, he promises, and will keep quiet about it now. He's honestly just proud two Queens alum are now Gooseberry Quidditch captains :)

No worries! <3

YAS YAY GOOD PERFECT

Yes! They would have been, more than likely! And yes, he would have known her while she was Nicholas and as she transitioned to Avery. And she is SUPER happy about their Captain-ness too!

catching up on intros!!

quinn encourages the hockey thing, and probably (literally) runs into avery on those obscenely early morning runs.

kurt is in her year and house and YAAAAAAY! they share a bunch of classes and OE! i think he likes avery a lot! as long as she doesn't make him be a person in the morning. since he's trying to become more outgoing i think he's especially make an effort to hang out with those extroverted friends more, too. (hopefully social skills are transmitted by osmosis.)

casey is her year and coppertale. is in duelling and a couple of classes. he probably doesn't have much of a reason to try and piss her off, so he's likely to be actually quite friendly toward avery (unless she gives him reason otherwise). he has DEFINITELY hit on avery a lot; if you want, he can be slightly perplexed about why hasn't she given into his undeniable charm??

first of all, ilu.

second of all, i love all this.

looks like they have a good group of morning runners! avery probably joins her sometimes.

lmao she won't try and make him a morning person because she's totally not about trying to make people be something they aren't. she's really shy at first so i can see where maybe they didn't click right away because they were both shy but once they ever talked for the first time and she realized he was nice, she'd be all about being friendly and inviting him out to do social stuff if he wants! and yeah kurt, social skills are COMPLETELY transmitted by osmosis!!!

i definitely don't see a reason for them NOT to be friends! even with his you know, coppertale personality if she ever happened to win a duel she'd take the modest wow! i can't believe i got that in the end, you're so amazing i got so lucky! kind of standpoint and "that was really fun!" kind of attitude, so she wouldn't even rile up his competitive instincts. his flirtation has probably gone RIGHT over her head and yes yes yes pls have him be completely perplexed about it. if you're down, i'd definitely like to explore this dynamic during the game!

Ahhh I'm so excited we finally have a trans character in game. DIVERSITY, YAY.

Okay so Pippa is also v. friendly! She'll be friendly to Avery! I think it would be super cute if Avery taught her how to do a perfect cat-eye because Pippa's attempts at using eyeliner are... wonky at best.

Etta would get on well with Avery, I think, despite being ~rival~ captains. They both enjoy early morning runs and are in OE together.

As for Coralee, she'd probably have been one of those bullies if she'd gone to the same school as Avery before Gooseberry. I'M REALLY GLAD SHE DIDN'T. :| I'm guessing these two will clash? Because Coralee is mean and Avery doesn't tolerate bullies?

Yay! I'm really happy to play a trans char. It's exciting!

Lol so yes, I think she'd like Pippa and they would definitely get along. Avery has now perfected cat-eye and talking make-up with Pippa would make her SUPER happy!

Fortunately for *everyone* involved, Avery doesn't really care for rivalries. She loves being captain because she loves sports, sportsmanship, dedication, teamwork, and helping people be the best players they can be. It's so much more about playing than winning, and she would ALWAYS compliment Etta on good team leadership etc. They probably talk Team Captain woes on their runs xD
