Katya

[identity profile] catseyenebula.insanejournal.com 2016-08-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
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!

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!

Hi ya!

Oh she will most likely be very happy to flirt around and do her best to be a staple of the party scene too simply because that's exactly what she wants to be. Ridiculous is perfect, she makes fun of herself all the time especially with the Russian bit. He might have to expect a crazed Russian girl flirting a bit. Hipster folk is always good.

Katya is rather nice to everyone, sure if he's icy she will do everything she can to get him to open up a little and try to be super friendly. She apparently isn't the greatest at archery and tends to talk more than shoot but she can be super good if she tries, that's a big if.

She can at least try to be nice to Calvin, try being the key word!

Diego can absolutely roll with crazy Russian girl flirting. But if she starts talking to him in Russian he's switching to Spanish. How long can they pretend they can understand one another? Who knows.

Then Reid probably likes her! He honestly does like people, so if she's friendly he'll just go silently take the spot next to her in Archery and let her talk at him. He'll open up with a little effort, but Reid opening up is kind of... jumbled. He's bad with words.

WELL if she tries consistently, he'll be a little warmer. He'll always have those sharp edges, but he won't irrationally think Katya hates him!

[identity profile] catseyenebula.insanejournal.com 2016-08-24 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure people will totally not hate them for it either!

Oh please, she's really good at jumbling shy types. Katya will just talk at him and smile and try to be really good at shooting things. Really.

I don't think she could hate anyone if she tried.

Welcome Emma!!! I'm Marin, the other mod, and I've never played with you before but I'm sure it'll be really fun. :)))

First up is Sylvester Stoker, who's in her year in Coppertale. He's an alpha male shit of a person and guaranteed to butt heads with a prefect, but on the flip side, Katya seems more chill than the average prefect, so they might get along? Sy does like to flirt with hot girls, so she'd definitely be on the receiving end of that.

Next is Ravinder Dhaliwal, who's a Ribbonfin senior and prefect. He's a straight-laced LARP nerd who is actually pretty easygoing. I think Katya would remind him of his sister, actually, being a wild personality who's also a pretty smart go-getter. And they're both into stargazing and stories, so maybe they'd get along?

Last is Wilhelmina Tran, Ebonhide senior. I think they'd clash—Mina is uptight and serious, not at all inclined to mock herself, and she wouldn't quite know what to make of Katya... Probably she'd assume Katya is just a rich spoiled party girl and finds attention-seeking Azurcrests to be pretty annoying. 8(

Hello! I went MIA for years so I'm kind of brand new again! I promise to do my best to be fun. Katya is more of the how did I end up in this position? of Prefect more than anything else so she will by far the most laid back of them all. At least as far as she believes. As long as he can handle adorable Russian being thrown back his way she will be more than okay with the flirting.

Secretly I think Katya wants to be in LARP but for real has the idea that they are all super nerds. Cause she isn't a nerd. No way. She loves stars and stories so at the very, very least they can bond over that.

Yeah, she isn't too much into the super uptight people but she will still be really friendly if that helps at all. And well, Katya is pretty much the rich party girl but she's pretty cool too! She swears!

what's the opposite of a mass exodus? because i think we're that.

[identity profile] catseyenebula.insanejournal.com 2016-08-23 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, mass retreat? That sounds like the same thing though.

Haha, it's cool, I think Meggie and I took like... an eight year break from HP RP? And then we jumped into a little game last year and now we've set up this one and we're sort of bowled over that so many cool people want to play with us, ahhhh

ADORABLE RUSSIAN IS VERY HOT. Sy will wonder if she's secretly mocking him, lol, but if people are able to roll with what a dolt he is, Sy can loosen up and have a lot of fun. He's definitely going to hit on her at the next party.

omg if she even hints that she thinks LARP is interesting, Ravi will talk to her for an hour about all the different REALLY COOL THINGS they do like... glue on elf ears and hit each other with foam swords. OK, so maybe you've got a point, Katya.

Katya being so cool and friendly just makes her more hateable to Mina, lmao. But this could be interesting since Mina is so hard-wired to expect hostility that she might eventually get worn down by what a nice person Katya is 8| what is her sneaky russian agenda 8|||||

Um, I got pulled in here because everyone I know came here! I tried to resist but I was like woah wait hold up they have a Russian name. WAIT FOR ME I'M COMING TOO.

SHE'S TOTALLY NOT IN THE KGB PEOPLE...totally.

She would so never mock him. Except with bad American accents or something only with hilarity in mind. All the hitting on, she can take it.

I think Katya would love elf ears. Like super duper wear them all the time if she could. She would be miserable at any sort of actual LARPing because the idea of having to stay in character or focused on something wouldn't work with her but she'd love to talk about it anyway.

Well, she can try to be more grumpy cat if it'll help Mina. She's so not sneaky! She's totally sneaky Commie.

Oksy two things. Once of course and second I thought your name was going to be Commander Holly which was going to amuse the shit out of me. Okay. Well Katya isn't a nerd but whatever, I like things. Whatcha wanna do? They can at the very least eat fruit loops together.

UM they're both juniors and in archery club? THAT COULD BE A START?

[identity profile] catseyenebula.insanejournal.com 2016-08-29 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Um yes! I'll admit I was trying to get mascara out of my contact when I was doing this before but yes. THAT IS A START. Katya apparently talks like through archery club but I don't think she ever shuts up.
