INTRODUCTIONS

Welcome to Gooseberry High! This is the catch-all post for all character introductions before the game's opening on September 1st. Please comment below telling everyone about your characters, respond to their comments, goof off, plot, all of it! ♥

Comments

DIEGO, REID, CALVIN

[indiefolk]

Hello hello!

I'm Meggie, and I'm one of two mods here at Gooseberry! I've got three characters. They are as follows:

Diego Morales morale; senior Azurcrest, cheer squad.

Diego is fun, friendly and outgoing. Willing to be anyone's friend, wants to make sure everyone's happy, won't ever judge you. A talented musician, and often at the center of any unsanctioned parties going on. He's also dangerously impulsive, pretty shallow, needy, self-centered and insecure. It's easy to get him to do what you want with a little positive attention.

Diego is Mina Tran's stepbrother, and the two of them... don't get along very well. Last year, he was dating Tabitha Ogletree, and cheated on her during a party. SORRY TABS. 8( He needs friends! Exes! The classmate he cheated on Tabitha with! His little stepsister, Estella!

Reid Wainwright unresponsive; junior Coppertale, Quidditch player.

Reid is a really unfriendly, awkward guy who struggles to express himself. He comes off like he thinks everything is a big boring hassle, and can be kind of a shit about it. He's incredibly loyal and deep down is really caring, but his social skills are not great. He's really easy to embarrass or outmaneuver in conversations.

He's frienemies with Sylvester Stoker, who's going to make him a Chaser instead of Seeker this year. Reid was an irresponsible, frustrating Seeker. Reid and Mina sometimes pretend they're dating, but there's nothing actually going on. Reid needs friends! Coppertale teammates! Exes!

Calvin Evercreech evercreep; sophomore Ribbonfin, Hogwarts exchange student.

Calvin is very articulate and does exceptionally well in class, but he's also just a little... unpleasant. He has a bad attitude about most things, tends to think the worst about people he doesn't know well, and escalates arguments unnecessarily. With friends, he's not so bad, but he's stubborn and bossy. He'll always always always take their side and justify they were in the right, even if they're blatantly wrong. He used to be #2 to a really cruel bully back in Hogwarts, but now he's an unpopular nobody.

Calvin has a major crush on Ravi, but he's never going to get it. Sy picks on Calvin a lot, and Calvin says terrible things to him to make it worse. He needs friends! People who can't stand his weaselly ways!

CALVIN

[threatens]

Can Sy call Calvin "Evercreep" y/n???

lmao oh my god i need to finish my characters and upload icons

TABITHA

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

I'm Heather and some of you might have seen my one character at Something Wicked, Lydia.

I just have the one character here so far, Tabitha Ogletree, but I'm working on another RN too.

Tabitha is a Senior in Ribbonfin, having come to the school from Ilvermorny. Hers is a background of privilege, being from a wealthy Philadelphia family, and has pureblood heritage. Her mother is an organiser of charitable and sociable events, and her father is one of the Pennsylvania representatives to MACUSA. Her younger brothers are twins, one in Ebonhide and one in Coppertale. Tabitha dated Diego last year but did not handle the fact he cheated, and now wants to date someone else before the end of the year to knock him out of her memory.

She is the Ribbonfin cheer captain and is an artistic person, being in all the artistic clubs and classes. She wants to do SOMETHING involving the arts after school, but is not sure what.

She needs friends, fellow Ribbonfins and fellow cheerleaders!

[indiefolk]

Yay Heather!!!

Obviously Diego and Heather know one another. :x Diego desperately wants her to stop being angry with him, so once school starts she'll have to deal with that. And they share so many classes and clubs. AWKWARD. Back when they were dating he probably asked her to sing with his band from time to time, or offer to play backing instrumentation for her. Obviously that's... probably not going to happen anymore.

Reid and Tabitha may not interact much, aside from them both being attached to Quidditch in some way. :|a

Calvin's a fellow Ribbonfin, and they're in choir and equestrian club together! Calvin was kind of a difficult presence last year, and landed himself in lots of arguments. He can be quite a talker when he wants to be, and will probably meet Tabitha's standards of etiquette. Buuut he probably sometimes jumps to conclusions about what Tabitha thinks about him, since she's a cool pureblood upperclassman.

WILHELMINA, SYLVESTER, RAVINDER

[wilhelmeana]

i love long names sorry

I'mmm Marin and I'm the other mod (assistant mod, really; Meggie is a beast) and I'm also starting off with three characters, as follows:

Wilhelmina "Mina" Tran (resentfully), Ebonhide senior. Event Committee, drama diva, academic monster.

Mina still calls herself Canadian despite having lived in Utah for the past five years with her shitty stepbrother, Diego. Mina's the kind of girl we might euphemistically describe as having "fire", i.e. she's moody, overambitious and outspoken, with a sharp tongue and tendency to try to take over anything she's involved in. Her arrogance is really overcompensation for her horrible lack of confidence, and anyone who gets behind that mask will find her to be... OK, I wouldn't call Mina sweet, but she's capable of caring very deeply.

Mina needs friends! Exes! People who can't stand her bossiness! Her baby sister, Estella!

Sylvester "Sy" Stoker (stokers), Coppertale junior. Quidditch captain & Chaser, athletic monster.

Sy is the most alpha douchebag of the alpha douchebag house. Challenge his place as the biggest toughest dude around and Sy will not hesitate to deliver a beatdown, which has gotten him into a shit ton of fights and would've probably made him a terrible candidate for Quidditch captain if this wasn't Coppertale. (I kid, I kid, you're all great people!) When Sy's a bit more chill, he makes a surprisingly supportive friend, always willing to aid and bet his pals in all manner of bad ideas.

Sy needs... friends, exes, enemies, bullying victims, prefects who try to rein him in, Quidditch teammates! Oh and he also has a twin sister in Ribbonfin :)

Ravinder "Ravi" Dhaliwal (paladins), Ribbonfin senior. Prefect, LARP enthusiast and... not a monster at all actually.

Ravi is a Muggleborn who previously attended Ilvermorny, and is so caught up in getting to play a chivalrous knight in LARP that he tries to act the part in real life. He's into horseback riding, archery and fencing; strives to be unfailingly kind and polite to everyone, and never breaks rules or does anything wrong(????). He's also a 17-year-old boy who's never really let loose except outside of LARP, and is starting to realize he might need to change that, this being his final year of high school before he goes for Healer training.

Ravi needs friends! Fellow LARPers! I can't think of anything else!

[indiefolk]

You did all the hard unfun stuff while I sat in a corner making characters and drawing.

Also: 💖 💖 💖

Regan!

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Hey, I'm Sara!

This is Regan Hobbs. Azurcrest sophomore, Quidditcher, Prefect, Artist, no she doesn't sleep. She's outspoken and unflaggingly honest (she doesn't see the point in lying and she finds it offensive.) Part of said honestly is her belief in ~self-expressions.~ She's the tattooed, hair-dyed, crazy-outfit-wearing Art Girl, and the friend you can trust to give it to you straight (though this is problematic at times and if you're overly sensitive, you probably won't like her much.)

The only plot I have for her is that she's buddies with Calvin, so otherwise...GIVE ME THINGS. She flirts with everyone and probably has a number of casual exes, so.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

YAY REGAN!!!! YAY SARA!!!!

So, yeah, she and Calvin are friends. He will be her advocate and supporter no matter what she does.

Reid will know her via Quidditch, and he's available as a casual ex. Getting with Reid requires the other person to be the assertive one, and he wouldn't have been very romantic, but maybe neither of those will be issues for Ree. Either way, he probably likes Regan. She's very straightforward. Easy to understand. No doublespeak.

And Diego will know her since they're in the same house and she's his little sister's roommate! He typically likes everyone, and is generally at the center of school parties, so if Regan likes that scene she'll see him a lot. Plus, he's one of her team's cheerleaders, representing for the players who want to see some boys cheering for them, too. He probably tries to act big brotherly towards Regan because of her nearness to Estella, and if things ever get flirty he'll be all ABORT ABORT I MADE (another) MISTAKE.

Anuhea.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Hello. I'm Dana. I am currently at work doing this stealth from my computer.

So I have 1 character. Anuhea Alapai. She is from Hawaii. She is a sports nut. She is chaser on the quidditch team for Ribbonfin. She is a Ribbonfin senior. She has a talent for transfiguration. Um she is the oldest of 3 siblings but all don't go to Gooseberry.

So Anuhea is a nice person even if she doesn't look it at first glance. She is forgiving to a fault. Pretty calm and levelheaded. Good listener and tends to but others before herself. She is the quiet type, but not really shy in the true sense. She is very passionate about quidditch and sports. She doesn't talk about her feelings much.

And um, last year she was the one that cheated with Diego and she feels terrible. She had no idea he was not single, but even then she knows she did wrong cause it was her classmates/cabin mates ex if they had been. But judgment wasn't great. So yup...

Anyway looking for friends and all that good stuff, people who don't like her, rivalries or something. I am up for anything.

[indiefolk]

Hey Dana! Welcome to the game! :D I'm... also sneakily doing this at work. Oops.

So, I have Diego, of course, who feels so incredibly terrible about what he did. He's going to be super awkward around Anuhea, at least for a while. And Anuhea not being mad at him anymore is going to mess with him. Tabitha's furious and he can't stand it, but Anuhea's not furious, and that doesn't make him feel better either.

Reid will know her through Quidditch and Animagus Studies, and he's also very focused on Transfiguration. It's probably the only subject he's actually any good at. He's usually quiet/serious/unfriendly, but through Animagus Studies, Anuhea has possibly realized that he's just... awkward.

And then I have Calvin! Calvin's an exchange student from Hogwarts, and this is his second year at Gooseberry. He's a Ribbonfin too, and last year he was a little shit. He got knocked off his high horse pretty fast, though. Sadly, he's still whiny, has a bad attitude, and gets into arguments, which probably stresses out more peaceful Ribbonfins.

[dominant.insanejournal.com]

I'm Karissa and I tried writing this intro earlier but it was SO LONG! This is Roxanne, a junior Coppertale. I'm gonna try this in list form and see if it works out less rambly. SPOILER: This is Karissa from the future and it isn't any less rambly.

1. Halfblood but might as well be muggleborn given that she was totally oblivious to the wizarding world until the year before ninth grade.

2. That rumor about how she bought her way into Gooseberry? TOTALLY TRUE and although she doesn't know it for a fact, she does suspect it. Many of the classes at Gooseberry require prior knowledge and she had very little of that. It took a sizable donation to grease the door enough to allow her entry.

3. Sizable donations are totally a thing her family can do because the Barringers are a very historic, old-money family in Boston.

4. She spent seven years (from the ages of six to thirteen) on Lo & Behold, a popular daytime soap. Her character was Claudia Murray. The show did one of those "sudden agings" and her intro at six was replacing an infant in the same role.

5. Rox is soooo very sixteen years old and this is only exacerbated by the fact that she had virtually no say in her life until thirteen. Three years since and she's still thrilled by doing the opposite of whatever would have been approved back then.

6. She's also extremely Coppertale for pretty much the same reason. Rox haaaaates being directed/corrected/told what to do. As mentioned in her concept, she's very spiteful and this trait pops out most frequently when these things occur. This girl really is the walking definition of cutting off her nose to spite her face - she is not afraid to inconvenience herself just to make a point to someone else.

7. Roxie tends to bond very, very strongly to her friends and her friendship can be very intense and even tiring. Because she had such little real socialization growing up, she's got a sort of skewed perception of how friendship is meant to work. She is often jealous of how her friends spend their time and who they're spending it with if it isn't her. On the flip side, her loyalty is top notch and she expects the same. She's all about having fun and toeing the line so rule lovers probably won't be loving her. >>

8. She's lost quite a few friends over the years because she did some shitty little asshole thing out of spite. This is where that jealousy comes into play if you were wondering. Rox gets over shit pretty quickly but others have obviously been permanently turned off by her pettiness in the past.

9. One of the things she really enjoys not giving a shit about is her appearance. After years and years of spending hours every day being fussed over, she's happy to drop appearances to the bottom of her priority list. Her hair is poorly groomed, her nails are jagged, she wears no makeup except for the rare occasions where breaks out the eyeliner.

10. Secretly loves Divination and believes she's a Seer.

11. She was a reserve last year and this will be her first year on the team as a Beater! Girl trained hard all summer and she's got guns. Expect sooo many arm wrestling matches. She's incredibly competitive at pretty much all times and a notoriously sore loser.

12. She loves LARP because it's like acting but without being directed. She gets really into it, though, and has a hard time controlling how hard she hits if she's in an in-character fight which is unfortunate since her characters are always the type itching for fights. Her favorite character was a (foam) battlehammer wielding orc named Ulga.

13. Has a distinctive seal laugh that loves to make itself heard at the worst times. Headmistress giving a serious talk during dinner? 2AM on a Wednesday? Yes and yes.

14. Her familiar is a hairless dumbo-eared rat she calls Nads. The name is short for Gonads because that's what she feels like but she tells her parents it stands for Nadia.

I need to stop because I'm going to rewrite her entire profile (http://dominant.insanejournal.com/1296.html). I'm open to all kinds of plot, let's hash it out. :)

[cygninae]

Hi Karissa!!! We're so excited to have you and Roxie here. I really loved Roxie, and I'm already loving the Copperteam's lineup. Anyway, I'm Meggie, one of the mods. I have thee characters: Diego, Reid and Calvin, who are described up here.

If Rox likes parties, she's likely ran into Diego plenty of times. Plus, he's friends with Sy, who's probably his cousin. Diego's the sort of guy just wants people to have a good time, although he also has a slew of really unpleasant traits that pop up every now and again. BUT Diego's not combative, and he's eager to please, so he does pretty well with aggressive personalities. Aaaand he's a flirt, so I'm certain he's tried that on Roxie.

Then there's Calvin, who might not interact with Roxie much. However, Sy picks on him a lot, and Calvin starts arguments with him at every turn. Calvin assumes Sy's whole little Coppertale Quidditch clique hates him, whether or not Roxie actually does.

AND MOST RELEVANT TO YOU: Reid! Reid's in her year, on her team, and they have a ton of classes together. If Rox can tolerate how uncomfortably cold and stagnant Reid's attitude is, he'll have no issues with her abrasiveness. He's passive and lazy 75% of the time, and will let her and his other assertive friends drag him around and tell him what to do. When he does make a decision, though, he's unyielding. But he's loyal, so Roxie will have no questions about his dedication if they're friends! Aaaand he's also kind of a lonely, isolated kid who's not so great at knowing what standard friendships are like.

Isaiah Covington

[icovington.insanejournal.com]

Sara back with my second! This is Isaiah Covington. He is a Senior Ribbonfin, and yes, his uncle is the Groundskeeper.

Isaiah is a deep, deep introvert. The kind who likes studying and solo activities and especially music/the piano/composing more than interacting with people. People make him feel sort of awkward and out of his depth and also just feelings and no, thanks. He's generally stone-faced, but that's a defense mechanism he perfected over the years of his childhood; in actuality, he's a very sensitive and easily-hurt soul, hence some of the introversion, and his father did not approve of that sort of thing so he's learned to hide it by...well, by not showing much emotion at all, no matter what he's feeling.

He's very smart and very responsible and very driven, and there is a lot going on in there that he doesn't express. Sadly most people probably find him too dull or too off-putting to bother noticing, sigh.

He's also, for the record, gay, and is not in the closet but it's not a thing he talks about and any relationships he may have had (I'd thinking he's had one, two at the most) were not advertised.

He needs: a close friend or two but ONLY a few, that past relationship maybe if anyone is interested, people who don't know what to make of him, people who copy off of his work because he is so very good at working and so very not assertive...and really anything else you can think of.

Also he's the student accompanist for Choir, so there's that? IDK i'm bad at introing.

[indiefolk]

ISAIAH IS CUTE.

Uh, so, I'll get Reid out of the way first, but I think between Reid being socially inept and Isaiah being so introverted, they probably don't interact much. If at all. :(

Diego knows him from choir, music and a few classes, though! And, well, Diego needs everyone to love him, so... either Isaiah is already his friend, or Diego has been trying to MAKE him be his friend for the last three years. He'll shower him with attention, try to get him to open up, drag him to social events if he can, suggest musical collaborations, etc. etc. etc. Completely your call on whether Isaiah likes Diego, or wishes he would go get lost in the woods somewhere.

Calvin is, of course, a fellow Ribbonfin, and he also has a crush on Isaiah's roommate, Ravi. So sometimes he comes by the Ribbonfin senior boys' dorm asking for help on homework he doesn't actually need help with. He's probably flustered around Isaiah sometimes, too, because... I mean, look at him. Calvin's in choir with him, and like Isaiah, he's a big huge nerd who studies all the time.

Kurt Wolfhart

[puphart]

Hii! I'm Kas, I'm new, etc. I also haven't RPed for 7ish years so please be patient while I find out where the heck the ropes went so I can re-learn them. :S

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS KURT WOLFHART! The name of an international superspy on the mind of an awkward teenager. He's a junior Ribbonfin who's fiercely loyal to his friends but also takes a while to make them in the first place – socially, he's pretty shy and doesn't open up well, in large part to a stutter than developed when he was learning to speak. He excels in drama and All Things Animals, and will be positing semi-regular quizzes about said beasts through his journal. While not a fan of speaking to not-close-friends normally, he strives to be a beacon of encouragement through the journals. Whether or not this is a welcome event is up to y'all. He's most comfortable on stage and tending to animals, both times when the stutter makes itself scarce; but as soon as he's done, he's back to being generally uncomfortable.

After a year of not achieving too much of note, Kurt has decided that this is his year. It's the year for New Kurt (NuKurt? Kurt 2.0? TBD by a panel of experts) to emerge gloriously from the boy who once was Kurtis Wolfhart, becoming super social and excited and generally a Pretty Cool Guy. But for real, he's trying earnestly to gain confidence by speaking up more in class, defending his friends, and voicing his opinion. It's probably going to take a while because everything seems better in his imagination. He's in drama club (totes his jam), equestrian, and outdoor club (comes with being an animal nut), and has been known to creep curiously on the LARP club from time to time.

Kurt came in from Ilvermorny. His older brother is a failed quodpot professional due to an injury, but an aspiring quodpot commentator/journalist/wizarding sports commentator. His younger sister is starting Ilvermorny (♥ d'aw) and they exchange weekly letters of great length.

I came in with no planned plots/friends/etc., so lmk if something peaks your interest! Good friends, small talk friends (ugh small talk), rival thespians, bullies, people who think he might be an alien and need to know more. Things are sooo opennn.

[indiefolk]

Hi Kas!!! Welcome to the game! I'm Meggie, one of the two mods, and I'm really happy to have you here and back in RP with us. Don't hesitate to let me or Marin know if you need help with anything. Kurt is super adorable, and I'm excited to see him in play. So, I have three characters here...

Diego is a senior Azurcrest, and I think he and Kurt will mostly know one another through the senior Ribbonfins where... it's a mixed bag. On one hand, Diego is on friendly terms with Isaiah and Ravi. On the other hand, he cheated on Tabitha with Anuhea, so if Kurt and Tabitha are friends, he miiight have some complicated feelings about Diego. Diego's in drama and equestrian with him, though, and he's generally a really fun, if attention-seeking, guy.

Then I have Reid, junior Coppertale, who shares a few classes with Kurt, including Animagus Studies. Reid is cold and unfriendly, but via Animagus studies Kurt might have noticed Reid's not actually mean. He's just socially incompetent, and kind of an odd bird (haha). If Kurt puts out even a little effort to be friendly with Reid, Reid will consider him a cool guy.

Aaaaand Calvin, a sophomore Ribbonfin, is in the same house as Kurt. I'm imagining that like most of Ribbonfin, Kurt might find Calvin... stressful? He's whiny and combative, and a (... sort of) redeemed ex-bully. Even though he's diplomatic and articulate, he's often at odds with the rest of his house. Last year he tried to be a cool assertive king of the hill... and failed miserably, and now he gets picked on by Sy Stoker. But during that period he was probably pretty unpleasant to Kurt.

Nathaniel Bird

[birdbrainy]

HELLO ALL YOU PARTY PEOPLE. I am a person called Alex and I am here to chew bubblegum and introduce characters. And I'm all out of bubblegum. SO THAT WAS A JOKE, BUT THEN I REALIZED I DO ACTUALLY HAVE GUM YOU GUYS. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

NATHANIEL BIRD, Ebonhide Senior, Prefect, Former Horned Serpent at Ilvermorny.

Grew up on a dairy farm about an hour outside of Boise. He country. My favorite part of writing his application was all the country music I got to listen to. My least favorite part of writing his application as all the terrible party country I had to listen to.

Halfblood who didn't really know he was a wizard until he got the Ilvermorny letter because, lol, everyone thought his dad was talking crazy when he said he was a wizard. He wasn't. Whoops sorry dad.

Supes smart overachiever who expects a lot out of himself. He was usually at or near the top of his classes in Ilvermorny, gets consistently good grades now because anything other than straight As is, like, not an option. He picks things up pretty quick, so he tends to pile stuff on his plate until he goes crazy because he's like, oh, i can totally handle this shit, i'm awesome.

Your first impression of him is probably somewhere along the lines of "um who?" Because he is a quiet dude, and he likes to watch and get the lay of the land before jumping right into social situations.

And, like, he seems pretty chill when you do get to know him, and he'll mostly be pretty chill (I think? IDK FOR SURE YET), but he is tightly wound. Like a little spring. Or a pig's tail. And at some point he's probably going to work himself too hard and forget to have fun and have a total TEENAGE ACADEMIC FREAKOUT BREAKDOWN, THE WORST KIND OF BREAKDOWN.

Not a fan of the House color being plum btw. Jsyk.

His class sched is HERE. SUP Y'ALL, LET'S BE IN CLASSES AND CLUBS TOGETHER.

I have absolutely no lines in mind for him coming in. ALL KINDS ARE WELCOME, THROW 'EM AT ME.

[indiefolk]

HEY ALEX it's so great to have you~ I'm Meggie, mod one of two, and I know you kind of from Renn! Now you can see why, uh, I have not been around in that game. :x ANYWAY, I really love Nate. He's so cute and I am very concerned for him.

Diego's a senior Azurcrest, pureblood, musician, and dresses like a granola crunching hipster. Maybe Nate and Diego could be friends? Assuming Nate doesn't find him to be too much, Diego is really warm and friendly (and needy, insecure and impulsive), and will be around to accidentally peer pressure Nathaniel into things. And while their upbringings were very different, Diego's also from a pretty rural area. He gets out so little, he's honestly overwhelmed by big muggle cities. Diego's got a lot of empathy but not a ton of emotional intelligence, so he'll be able to tell when Nate's not doing so great... and then will have no idea how to handle it. But he'll shower him with attention and try to distract him, SO THERE'S THAT. They're also in a few classes together, as well as outdoor exploration!

Reid is a junior Coppertale Quidditch player. He's in archery with Nate, and also might know him a little via animagus studies. Nate can probably tell by now that Reid's unfriendliness is all just awkwardness. His social and verbal skills are really lacking, but he's easy to win over with minimal effort. But with Reid being so difficult to get to know, and Nate being so cautious, I'm not sure how they'll interact. :|a

Calvin is a sophomore Ribbonfin, and a fellow super focused overachiever. Except Calvin's honestly better at gaming the system than anything else, which takes its own kind of intelligence, but not really what his teachers are going for. I... think he and Nate probably won't get along too well, haha. Calvin's whiny and unpleasant a lot of the time, and both he and Nate are easily threatened by people who might be doing better in school than them. But since they're not in the same year or house, it's probably not as big of a deal.

Dominic Tremblay

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

HI FOLKS! I was supposed to be writing a six week English unit on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but then this happened. Oops.

Dominic is the Junior male Prefect for Coppertale. He's more subtle than most of them, being bold as brass but knowing when and how to pitch it when prefecty things become necessary.

He's French-Canadian, coming from small town Québec, and his dad owns the chain of inns that allow entry to the magical areas of the capital city of each province. He has a little sister who will be an Ebonhide Freshman this year.

French is his first language and coming from where he does, his accent is on the broad side. He can and will troll people in two languages regarding said accent.

He's a good egg with designs on becoming an Auror, so he's taking all those related classes. He's one of those sickening people who passes easily and doesn't really worry about school work, and has an odd habit of trying to take a different random route to the school buildings at least once a week.

Re: Dominic Tremblay

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

WHO ARE YOU
(just kidding i looked at the app)

Wellll, Ree is gonna slobber all over him probably, lbr. The Quebecois accent, man. Hotttttt. She's gonna make him be her boating partner like all the time. Wait do they have partners in boating? She does not care.

Isaiah probs doesn't know him super well, not being in too many extracurriculars with him, his house or his grade, but also being...well, Zay. SADFACE. He would also think he is super cute though?

POSSIBLY IT IS JUST ME, THINKING LUCAS TILL IS HOT.

Katya

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

Hello! I'm Emma and I'm bringing along Katya Ivanova. Guess where she is from? If you said Russa you win a prize. Maybe. I don't have any prizes.

Katya is from Russia as in she moved to the US, Alaska actually, in 2008 after the death of her father by the secret magical mafia. Not that she really tells anyone about that little fact. Her mother is obsessed with finding life in space, she actually has a degree in that so it isn't quite as crazy. Her mother remarried another Russian, this time a super rich one so Katya has more money than she knows what the hell to do with. Being the Azurcrest Prefect this year, by some stoke of luck, Katya is just happy hanging around and being loud. Basically if you have something super fun going on, she would like to be part of it. She's in the archery and boating club because who wouldn't want to play with boats and shoot people?

Basically she's overly friendly, a tad too loud at times and likes to wear really expensive things. Oh and she has a taking crow that she hauls around with her. Because why the hell not? Loves spooky stories and breaking into abandoned places just to have a look around. Anything and everything she'd love to have thrown at her!

[indiefolk]

Hey Emma! Welcome to the game! :D I'm Meggie, one of the mods, and I'm EXCITED TO SEE MORE AZURCRESTS YEEEEAH

I have Diego Morales, who's a year above Katya in Azurcrest. He's warm and friendly, but also really impulsive, needy and insecure. He loves people and good times, though, and is a staple of Gooseberry's party scene. He'll proooobably flirt with Katya quite a bit. He's also a hipster folk musician and is more than a little ridiculous.

Then I have Reid Wainwright, who's in her year in Coppertale. They share Archery and a few classes, I believe! Reid's really icy and unfriendly, but honestly just has bad social skills. If Katya's nice to him, his good opinion is easy to gain.

Then I have Calvin, who's a year younger in Ribbonfin, and is a Hogwarts transfer student. He's an academic overachiever, currently holds the title of Most Unpleasant Ribbonfin. He's whiny and combative, and to most people, simply not much fun. I don't think Katya's likely to care about him too much, but let me know if you think otherwise!

Holden Bright

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

SUP. I'm Madeline and I know some of you kindasorta? BUT starting out fresh here, I've got your Ribbonfin Seeker for you!

This is Holden Bright, Ribbonfin Junior, Quidditch Seeker. (He pronounces it "Seekah," he is Boston AF, I feel I need to say this right off the bat.)

- His father is a well-known wizarding literature writer from England, Hippocrates Bright, but he doesn't really get along with him. The rest of his family are Irish-American Boston muggles from Dorchester. They all talk like the Wahlbergs and he feels much more comfortable with them.
- Was at Ilvermorny as a Pukwudgie, you probably knew him from his flying and Quidditch-playing. And literally nothing else. He is fine with this.
- He hates fussing, high school drama, bullying, fighting, all that nonsense, and likes quiet and safety and often throwing himself in the line of fire to see that everything goes back to normal. He's a complete pushover but he always means well.
- Pessimistic, self-deprecating, "a man of simple tastes," he likes eating and Quidditch and not needing to stand out away from the pitch.
- Has such a thick Boston accent you'd think he came out of The Departed. No don't ask him to say "he's not a cop." He'll do it, but he doesn't like it.
- Not a very bright student, but a brilliant Quidditch player, feel free to think some professional team is bribing the teachers to let him pass. Sometimes he doesn't even know how he does, because he thinks that low of himself.
- Needs a boost of self confidence BADLY. Awkward with crushes, afraid of flirting, but often finds himself drawn into all the high school drama and everything else that comes about with being a jock.

As for plot, I NEED IT ALL BECAUSE I COME IN AS A BLANK SLATE. Friends, quidditch jocks he gets roped into hanging around with, ex-girlfriends, girls he can fumble around, ANYTHING. Gimme <3

HI MADELINE, I'm Meggie, and I'm one of the mods! I've never met you before, I don't think, but I'm excited to play with you and Holden! i have three characters:

Diego Morales probably has the least to do with Holden. He's a senior Azurcrest, a talented musician, ridiculous hipster, and a cheerleader for Azurcrest's team. He's very warm and friendly, but unless Holden likes parties, they probably won't cross paths often. Diego is the center of some Ribbonfin drama, though. He cheated on Tabitha last year with Anuhea, soooo yep.

Reid Wainwright USED TO BE Holden's rival Seeker. He'll be getting replaced this year, because even though Reid's a gifted flier, he's... not a very dedicated Seeker. He missed the Snitch a lot because he wasn't paying attention, and nearly cost Coppertale the cup. He was kind of a diva about being a Seeker. Not in an attention seeking way, but in a I DON'T CARE IF WE WIN OR LOSE, I DON'T TAKE ORDERS kind of way. He comes off really unfriendly, but is actually just awkward and inarticulate. He'd be kind to Holden, though, because he also struggles in class, and nearly lost his scholarship last year. Aaaand he was on Thunderbird's quodpot team, so he and Holden have been playing against one another for years. Maybe they have some kind of quiet rapport?

Aaaand then I have Calvin Evercreech, The Worst Ribbonfin. He's in Holden's house a year below him, and is a transfer student from Hogwarts via Slytherin. Last year he was really terrible to everyone, then got knocked down hard, and has mellowed out a lot. He's still really whiny, sharp-tongued and confrontational, so I imagine Holden probably won't think he's great company. Deep down Calvin loves his house, though, and he's very articulate, intelligent and loyal.

Sybilla "Sylla" Borgin

[sylla]

SO OKAY. Madeline again, and apparently I brought two in the same day because I'm weird like that, but this little thing was in my head and here's Sybilla Borgin! Ebonhide Junior, transfer student from Hogwarts where she was a Slytherin, which shocked absolutely nobody.

- Her parents are THE Borgin and Burke. They're like the Victoria & Albert of shady creepy stuff in wizarding England. (Or the Kate and Charles, but Sylla prefers the dramatic and historic.) They run the shop still and have a total of 8 kids in their reclusive manor in the Northwest of England. Sybilla is the middle child, with one older brother and the rest are 7 girls that look scarily like their parents. (The rumor is that dark magic helped with that. . .not far from the truth but what's old Hogwarts gossip to do with anything anyways.) With them all together at Hogwarts it's a more than creepy, but luckily Sylla can get away from them and make her own path, even if she misses them terribly. Her family is her life, and being away from them is terribly difficult.

- Literally the tiniest girl ever. Her thirteen year old sister is taller than her. Sylla is only 4'11, but don't let that fool you. Also, while she looks posh af her accent is THICK. Happy Valley thick. Beatles thick. It's weird.

- Dueling is her passion, her life's calling, and her truest talent. It's also her only extracurricular. She's really good at fencing too, if you can handle going up against a tiny little girl.

- In animagus training and deeply stressed about what her form will be. She really doesn't want it to be a snake. But she has a feeling it's going to be, and that's just so cliche and terrible and predictable, and if Sylla hates anything, it's being predictable and ordinary.

- She's a good student, but she's not so much competitive as extremely hard on herself and her own goals. Her worst enemy is herself, and she doesn't have anything to prove to anyone but herself and her family. She works herself into seclusion and obsesses over every little detail of everything, but she's working on finding balance to that.

- She overthinks everything, she can't let things go, she's intense and driven, but when she likes something or feels strongly about something, the fire really comes out. There's no happy medium or ambivalence with her, she needs to feel every emotion deeply and truly and purely. It's really not healthy.

- Sylla really needs people to talk to, but it's kind of hard finding people who want to hear her feelings on morbid Greek mythology, brutal sports games, how blood looks pretty sometimes, and other creepy things that really show her true Gothic Horror Barbie side. But really, she needs it. She's at Gooseberry to get away from preconceived notions of herself, but she's finding them hard to really escape at all, and maybe she shouldn't have to? But you know, 16 year olds~

And before I ramble any more her profile is here, and like Holden, she's a blank slate! Friends, acquaintances, grudges, classmates, anything! :)

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

YOU SUBMITTED YOUR APP AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT. I'd just finished processing Holden and Gabi, and I was just like MARIN READ THIS REAL FAST. Anyway, I'm excited about Sybilla~

So, she and Calvin were in Slytherin together! Back at Hogwarts, Calvin was basically part of a little Malfoy-ish clique a year below her. Samuel Goyle, the leader of the gang, might have periodically hit on Sybilla. How Calvin reacts towards Sybilla now, though, depends on how she's taken the way he's changed at Gooseberry. He was sorted into the Nice Kids house and softened a lot, and now he hangs out with a very different group of people. But Sylla is a piece of home, and Slytherin fraternity dies hard. Even if she thinks he's a loser he'll want to side with her to some degree. Calvin's also an excellent student, but gets good grades through learning the system, not necessarily by working himself to death. He's also in duelling, and is fairly good at the wand parts, but skips the swords part.

And then Reid is in her year in Coppertale, and they're in animagus studies together. He's got some weird inclinations himself about how realistic "become a bird" is as a career goal, so he won't judge her deep gothy feelings. On the other hand, he won't have much to say on the subject. He's unmotivated and passive about a lot of things in life, which may frustrate her.

Diego's a year older than her in Azurcrest. He's warm and friendly and non-judgemental, but also needy and always looking for validation. He's probably attempted to flirt with her before, but he may be a little too wholesome for her tastes. There's not a goth bone in his body. He likes some ~heavy~ musicians and song lyrics, but that's about as deep as he goes. Diego is all BIG EMOTIONS, though, and I think it'd be hard to find a topic he was neutral on.

Riley Stamper

[riledup]

HELLO GUYS, Alex is back again!

RILEY MAE STAMPER, Azurcrest Junior, lookit her here. She's a little bit of a thing from Alaska, where her mom runs the Kenai School of Magic. She's fun, she's feisty, she's the most stubborn thing to ever happen, and she has a short temper and tries to get in lots of fights. She spent last year as an exchange student to Hogwarts, and where she was a Slytherin and also a fucking loser. She cried in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom a lot.

BUT NOW SHE'S BACK! Azur Cheer Squad, drama kid, events committee, she's trying to get back into the swing of things Stateside and back on top.

Give me friends! Fellow #cheersquad! Azurcrest girls! Hair dye buddies! GIMME THINGS ILUALL I'M SO EXCITED.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

No. Nothing for you clearly, I hate you.

CHLOE SHEPHERD

[cmdrchloe]

CHERYL HERE (you may know me from my cdj, iliekrp). I bring you CHLOE SHEPHERD!

• Chloe is a junior in Ribbonfin (or she WILL BE in Ribbonfin - this is her first year here, so she hasn’t technically been sorted!)
• Chloe is a muggleborn and an introvert that tends to get increasingly awkward proportional to the length of a social situation/number of people involved.
• From her tween years, Chloe got really involved in the internet and in fandom. She is a fangirl and writes fanfiction and draws fanart. She is much more comfortable online (and, by extension, on the journals at Gooseberry) than in person. She is all of usssss.
• She was at Ilvermorny (pukwudgie!) up until this point!
• She wants to be ~unique~ but also she is a huge people pleaser and easily bends to stronger personalities.

IDK, INTROS ARE HARD. Read her bio here

[riledup]

HAY GIRL, I know where to find the secret wi-fi signal, wanna take a walk down by the docks on the full moon? ;)

Iris Shacklebolt

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Hi! I'm Chele and I have Iris Shacklebolt!

+ Daughter of Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt.
+ First year at Gooseberry
+ Senior, Coppertale.
+ Member of Outdoor Exploration and Animagus Studies.
+ Bossy, hard-working, impatient, but dependable and loyal.
+ Pesco-Vegetarian and wants to be a Magizologist after she's done with school.

Over all she's nice, but it takes her time to open up to people. She prefers a small group of close friends, and doesn't care much if you like her or not. She's a bit impatient, and can be a bit bossy, but she tries not to be. She's sort of a Leslie Knope type, only she really doesn't care about politics.

I'm open for all plots!

[knightly]

Hello Chele!!!! I'm Marin, one of the mods, and I think Iris is great, as I already kind of told you, haha.

OK so Iris doesn't know anyone yet, obviously, but she'll probably run into all of mine. Ravi is a Ribbonfin senior, and also a prefect, so he'll see it as part of the "job" to make a special effort to welcome her. They're both practical and hard-working and relatively outgoing, so I think they could click well. Although Iris will definitely be able to steamroll Ravi if she wants to, since he's a lot more accommodating.

Mina (resentfully) is an Ebonhide senior and suuuper insecure and competitive, so Iris being... a smart and confident and beautiful pureblood daughter of the British Minister of Magic is going to make Mina irrationally dislike her. 8( They'll know each other through Animagus Studies! So Mina might give Iris the cold shoulder initially, but in the long run maybe she'll respect that Iris is really assertive and hard-working. :|a

And Sylvester (stokers) is a Coppertale junior, Quidditch captain, and loves to flirt with hot girls. 😘 Iris will run into him in Outdoor Exploration, and will... probably not find him charming??? idk Sy is aggressive and competitive and tries too hard to be the HOUSE ALPHA MALE, but he's more likely to respect a fellow Coppertale when they push back against him. c:

[unregrettable]

Hello! I'm Josie and I'm joining the game with two characters. My first is Henrietta Gray:

+ Azurcrest senior and Quidditch captain/seeker!
+ She made it onto the Quidditch team two years ago when her sister was made captain. FUNNY COINCIDENCE, THAT. (In all seriousness, she does deserve her spot but that didn't stop people from muttering about blatant favouritism.) She's trying to live up to her sister's legacy and WIN THE CUP for Azurcrest. Go Jays!
+ She loves being outdoors and is in Archery, Boating, and Outdoor Exploration. If you want someone to go on an adventure with, she's your girl! She's not fussed about breaking rules (which... could be slightly problematic now she's Captain and all).
+ She's a typical Azurcrest so if there's a party being held you can bet she's there. Probably supplying alcohol. To minors.
+ She loves dating but her relationships probably don't last longer than a few months as she gets bored easily. She's also open to friends with benefits situations.
+ Henrietta is kind of a mouthful so she goes by Het or Etta. Or Gray. Or Captain. BASICALLY ANYTHING SHORTER THAN FOUR SYLLABLES IS FINE.

I always feel like I miss out really obvious stuff in intros so feel free to ask questions!! And give me all your plot ideas! I'm looking for friends, enemies, exes, possibly a secret study buddy??

[indiefolk]

JOSIEEEEEEEE i'm so excited to get to play with you again ♥

So, Diego Morales, her year and house, and also one of her team's cheerleaders! Awesome excellent friends y/y??? (Also maybe sometimes FWB it kind of sounds like...)

Reid was her rival Seeker last year, and he... was stressful for Coppertale. He's a great flier, but he's also really unmotivated. He's going to be replaced this year and play Chaser instead, and everyone will be better off. He's weird and unfriendly, but has respect for his fellow players. He's also in Animagus studies with her, and is going to turn into a big ol' bird.

Calvin and Henrietta prooobably won't interact much, but that's ok, poor Pippa will have more Calvin than she knows what to do with.

[orangepip]

And this is Josie with character number two, Philippa Nightingale! (But you can call her Pippa.)

+ Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student! This is her first year at Gooseberry and she's equal parts excited and terrified, haha. PLEASE BE GENTLE.
+ She's very enthusiastic and hopes this will make people like her. She can be a little needy in her quest for attention and affection, but she's also a very good listener and genuinely cares about everyone, not just her friends.
+ Although she tries to hide it, she has anxiety issues and suffers from panic attacks. There are more than a few Calming Draughts stashed in her suitcase, just in case. :(
+ She was raised a strict vegan, but while it's not a lifestyle she actively chose, she completely believes in it. She won't judge you for not being a vegan, but if you want to ask questions she's more than happy to talk about the whys and wherefores.
+ She's gifted at Potions, but hates having to use the blood or body parts of magical creatures as ingredients. She got into trouble at Hogwarts for skipping class a lot, but despite that chose to take Potions here at Gooseberry in the hope of experimenting with vegan potions as her senior project. (If she's still here for her senior year, of course.)
+ She's looking for a ~*~BOYFRIEND~*~ and is hoping her accent will make her irresistible to tanned boys called Brad or Chuck who have perfect teeth. (A girl can dream.)
+ Over the summer she watched a million high school movies in PREPARATION and knows better than to try and make fetch happen, but expect her to come out with more than a few clichés.
+ Oh and she's in Choir!

Aaaand I think that's it? Hit me up with connections, people! New friends, people who knew her at Hogwarts and thought she was weird, potential crushes, etc.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Diego will be SUPER FRIENDLY if they ever cross paths, and while he might joke-flirt with Pippa, girls his little sister's age are OFF LIMITS. He'll think she's adorable and try to cool big brother her, and watch out for the new kid if she goes to any parties.

Reid and Pippa may not cross paths often. BUT if she's friendly towards him, despite him being a weirdo ice prince, he'll warm up a little. If he ever catches her looking lost or stressed he'll come help, although he might make awkward scowly faces the whole time.

AND CALVIN. Uh, so, Calvin and his friends were probably really terrible to Pippa back at Hogwarts. :( When Calvin sees her at Gooseberry he's going to be all oh no. And when she gets sorted into Ribbonfin he's going to be all OH NO. Calvin is terrible at being gentle with people but I hope EVENTUALLY he will guiltily take Pippa under his wing and be an endless well of reassurance that has no concern for logic or evidence. He would sit and try to convince her for hours that nothing is her fault and she is so right about everything. Also, he secretly sympathizes with the wanting a handsome American boyfriend thing. Look at all these guys. It's seriously unfair.

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

oh man oh man
hi everyone
i'm kay & i've got one lil baby so far, Zoey Valentine.

She issss:

-A Ribbonfin Senior & Chaser on the Quidditch team
-Bass Player for The Holy Rosicrucians. "Arty."
-Ridiculously good at Potions, an all-around gifted student
-Experiencing some Burnout after years of chronic overachieving, but ~Responsibility~ and ~Familial Expectations~ rear their ugly heads to stop her from just playing & flying & having fun all the time
-Very not-so-secretly into Divination, which she got into as a distraction from her "real" work & ended up falling in love with
-A bit of a weirdo

Here's a lil personality blurb because this is the part I'm bad at: "Calm, loyal, curious. Somewhat airy and detached. Goes-with-the-flow toward either recklessness or complacency, depending on the situation. A lil bit rebellious. Intelligent." y'know. kinda does her own thing, but down for whatever.

ANYWAY
My only real plot for her so far is being part of the band & such. Ideas:

-Anyone else from Hellebore? She played Quodpot there. Also kissed a teammate, which was probably highly scandalous at the time. Alllllllso got caught on the Quodpot Pitch with alcohol in eighth grade (she's gotten a little better at keeping secrets and sneaking around since this time in her life ok)
-Ribbonfins yayyyy. Esp seniors -- what's it been like these past four years?
-Academic rivals and/or buddies?
-Quidditch stuff
-Crushes, awkward past romantic encountersss. Zoey hasn't done much serious dating, but you know how it go
-Kids she may have otherwise grown up with as someone with a parent involved with MACUSA
-Art stuff?? (Zoey has an Officlal Senior Project related to potions, and a personal one she likes better that's more up this alley)

ahh
that got long sorry
anyway yes! hit me up anytime! i'm a student & obsessive about checking email, so c:

[indiefolk]

YAY ZOEY! Welcome to the game! We talked a little already, but I'm Meggie, one of the mods! I have three characters here.

Diego Morales, 7th year Azurcrest, is most relevant to Zoey! She's one of his beloved bandmates! Diego adores Zoey, thinks she's super deep and smart. Does not get the divination thing but will listen to her talk about it. He's a music prodigy of sorts, but... sucks pretty bad at potions. He'll be looking to Zoey for help a lot. Uh, the two of them seem to have barely an ounce of self-control between them SO THAT'LL BE FUN. Maybe when they were younger they could have had a romantic entanglement but are now just friends? Or they could have dodged that altogether!

Then I have Reid Wainwright, a year below her and in Coppertale. He's unfriendly and icy on the surface, and under that... a lot of the same, but mostly he's just awkward and terrible at expressing himself. He's lazy and eccentric, but mostly hangs out with the jocks and Coppertales. I'm not sure if he and Zoey will know one another terribly well, but let me know if you have any ideas!

Aaaand Calvin Evercreech is a Sophomore Ribbonfin. He's unpleasant, mean-spirited, whiny, and very, very smart. Although Calvin has the Ribbonfin gift of gab, he's otherwise at odds with a lot of his housemates. He used to be a bully back at Hogwarts, but now he's considered certifiably uncool. Last year he tried to be top dog, and was really mean to people, including his housemates. Now he's a lot more mellow, but still has those sharp edges. He's a former Slytherin, and has that die hard house loyalty for Ribbonfin, which mostly means he's afraid all his new green housemates are going to get taken advantage of.

Emily - Bailey and Faye

[overturn.insanejournal.com]

Heya! This is going to be super speedy because I'm on lunch and I still gave lunch to eat. But I'm Emily, I live in Arizona and I have two girls here.

Bailey Hartman is a Junior Ebonhide. She's Canadian and was home schooled before coming to Gooseberry because her family owns a bison ranch in Alberta and it was pretty much all hands on deck. She didn't really want to go away but her parents decided it was best for her and then she got a scholarship so okay fine this is really happening now. She's very introverted, very interested in animals and very not girly. She's in Animagus Studies! Her journal is all_apologies.

Faye here is a senior in Coppertale, which is the best, and plays chaser on the Quidditch team, which is the best, and "best" is something of a recurring theme here. She's an independent Texan lady who likes to shoot and duel but also likes to dress up and do her nails and stuff and she doesn't see why that should be a problem for anyone because she's capable of doing all kinds of things, basically anything in fact. Super confident and outgoing, she's in almost as many extracurricular as she is classes, and the extracurriculars are definitely what she cares more about.

I haven't had a chance to look around much so gimme plots!

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

San Marcos! Ima email you with crap about it like weird stuff in a minute!

Also Katya will be friendly with everyone, she's an Azurcrest junior Prefect and seems to be like the most cheerful little thing ever so I'm sure she will at least know of Bailey and try to be friends with her. Faye will get to talk shooting with Katya but Katya is a bit awful at Archery but tries her hardest.

Christopher Park

[bambae]

So I'm Roz and this is going to be short because I got a call from my work two seconds ago that has annoyed the hell out of me. If you have a complaint, just wait until I come in, so you can tell me why I suck to my face while you're paying me. Is that too much to ask for.

Okay so, I am bringing to you Christopher Park, who was mockingly called Bambi when he came to this school because he looks about twelve and is adorable with his grumpy cat face. And since it's an ongoing thing, feel free to have your characters refer to him as that. He's a Coppertale senior now and the beater for the quidditch team.

He grew up with a single mother, who was a muggle, so he had to play a lot of catch up when he first came to this school, which he came to on scholarship. He's from Boston. He's not an outright asshole, and he's very far from a bully, but he's got a very mean resting bitch face and a completely nonexistent patience for bullshit. He's basically a very small attack dog with a semi quiet bark but a very big bite. Which would have probably caused a great deal of problems for him in school, but he didn't get here from connections, he came here on scholarships and that alone is what keeps him in line.

And... that's all I have. So give me plots.

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

hello roz, i'm kay & i feel yr pain
hope the day got a little better ;-;

i have one kid in-game at the moment, a ribbonfin senior named zoey. her main connection w christopher is probably quidditch, as she plays chaser, and the fact that they're both scholarship students. c: if they've interacted much -- they do have a small handful of classes together -- she probably finds the whole grumpy-old-man thing kinda cute & amusing. :x

[aerophone.insanejournal.com]

Hi all, I'm Crystal, bringing in Irene Lovelace, Ebonhide senior:


-Before Gooseberry, she was a Horned Serpent at Ilvermorny.

-She's a total Potions nerd, and likes to experiment with potions outside of class.

-Irene is a middle child and feels the need to be special, manifesting in trying her best to stand out. Granted, she's always been on the quirky side, but she has a tendency to play it up. It's most visible in her wacky sense of style, which sometimes looks cute and other times looks like a mess.

-She's curious and enthusiastic, and would rather be thought of as weird than not noticed at all.

She needs friends, enemies, people she knew at Ilvermorny, all the plot!

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

heyyy ! c:

i'm kay & i've only got zoey for the moment.

i think she and irene could have an interesting relationship! z was almost sorted into ebonhide, so she's got some shared tendencies, and is ALSO super into potions -- which could either equal a beautiful friendship, or maybe a rivalry of sorts, friendly or otherwise. :u

[cecaelian]

Hi! Sneaking in at the last minute here before bedtime! I'm Manx and this game lured me out of RP retirement because of how well put-together and fun it looks.. please forgive me as I get back into the swing of things! :)

Ursula is..

+ a Junior Ribbonfin (who easily would have been a Slytherin)
+ An heiress - she's only mentioned it maybe one or two hundred times - but not a pureblood. She's New Money, if you care about that sort of thing. (She cares about that kind of thing.)
+ Super friendly and excited to meet new people
+ Very ambitious and always looking for a new angle
+ A horrible gossip. Tell her something if you want it to spread like wildfire.
+ A shit stirrer. Ursula has a horrible habit of eagerly telling people all the gossip about them to see how they'll react.
+ A reality TV villain. She really isn't the worst person ever, but oh boy does she misbehave more than enough that she could be edited into the role.
+ Formerly attended Port Prep and was really not thrilled about transferring
+ has a pretty obvious crush on Mr. Chettri

Plotwise..

+ Ursula needs friends! She wants all the friends. She is quite outgoing and just as comfortable socializing with nerds as jocks.
+ I could def see Ursula as a mini Queen Bee - she was super proud to be the most popular girl's fourth best friend back at Port Prep - so maybe a small bestie gang?
+ Enemies! Ursula's behavior has surely ruffled some feathers over the years that she wasn't able to recover from.
+ Maybe an ex-boyfriend or two? IDK. She's dated less since coming to high school since boyfriends can be very distracting and she has Things to Achieve.
+ Ursula is joining LARP this year, so maybe someone to convince her to give it a go? (And probably regret that horribly.)

Not sure what else... Hi! Super excited to be here!!

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

yo! ♥

i'm kay & i already love ursula, just saying

i also have no idea if she'd get along w my only character, zoey. the two are in ribbonfin together, though z is a year ahead. they're semi opposites? or have a lot of opposite characteristics. that said, zoey is kinda hard to rattle & might even be amused by ursula's antics here and there, excepttt if they had to do with the whole tabitha/diego thing. :u
