Hi! My name is Brit and I am a newbie here. I've been out of RP for a couple months and am so excited to dip my toes back into the water at this game. I'm from California, a caption editor--basically I just watch TV all day, and I am terrible at introductions because I tend to go overboard and can't seem to succinctly explain my characters. SO, I am going to TRY really, really hard but I encourage y'all just to read their apps (eventually) because I will probably miss something.

Ramon Delgago

backbeat is the younger brother of Sofia Delgado. He's a sophomore in Ribbonfin, he's involved in a lot of activities: archery, Dueling & Fencing, Outdoor Exploration, and Quidditch (Beater -- first string).

He has a bit of a temper problem and by a bit, I mean, a lot. Any little thing can set him off. He's sensitive and so her overreacts in a dramatic manner. Due to this he really tries to stay away from people but he's not complete antisocial. He just knows that he's an accidental asshole because he has no filter and poor impulse control. He eventually apologizes, at least in his own way. He has a hard time with it. He also isn't fond of attention despite his habit of drawing it to himself with his outbursts. There are silver linings though! Ramon is an amazing athlete. Quidditch, Soccer, and Tae-Kwon-Do are his sports of choice but in his words, he'll kick your ass at anything. He's incredibly competitive. Also, asexual, well heterosexual, but anything romantic or sexual makes him feel ridiculously awkward, so please just don't.

NEEDS: Friends, enemies, people he's beat up, people who have beat him up, and sports buddies.

Antonia Papadakis (this journal). She's a junior in Ebonhide. She's a cheerleader, also involved in choir and event planning committee. She's also been in nearly every club in her last two years.

Her concept is: overemotional closeted pageant queen who lives life at full-throttle. She grew up competing in child beauty pageants all over the west coast. Antonia absolutely loves all things girly: make-up, fashion, accessories. She's a bodacious seamstress and makes all of her own clothes. She loves giving makeovers and will also create outfits for anyone who's willing to pay for one. Antonia also appears to be an easy-going prefect but she does have a 3 strike and you're out rule. She really just wants to be friends and get along. Usually the troublemakers she reaches out the most to. Prior to coming to Gooseberry she attended The Greek Institute of Magic. Also, she's homosexual but so far back in the closet she may as well be in Narnia.

NEEDS: Friends, enemies, frenemies, maybe an ex-boyfriend that she drove away with being crazy trying to, you know, not be more interested in girls, and customers.

Hey Brit, I'm Madeline and I'm doing the c/p copout because I'm on my phone (my laptop hates me) and I'm super awkward at intros I APOLOGIZE BUT WELCOME TO THE GAME

So this girl here is Sybilla Borgin, mostly goes by Sylla, Ebonhide Junior and Hogwarts exchange student from Slytherin. Her parents are the power couple of shady dark arts as the namesake of Borgin & Burke's, but she's here in America now to make a name for herself away from the rumors and her seven similarly creepy siblings. Best way to describe her is if Guillermo Del Toro wrote a Disney Princess - she's very sweet and polite and cute and light, but not so secretly fascinated wth the darker side of life. She tries to keep her creepy fascinations to herself, but then she likes watching physical fights and talking about morbid mythological tales and thinks skeletons are beautiful~, THAT SORT OF THING.

Next up is Holden Bright,

blinkah, Ribbonfin Junior and seeker on the Quidditch team, poor kid from Boston who doesn't like to be in the limelight or the center of attention despite playing the most attention-grabbing position on the team. He's a human doormat, and incredibly easy to peer pressure into things. He's the most awkward of awkward turtles, so please feel free to use him for your own devices, because while he says he doesn't like drama or dealing with attention, he always goes along with it anyways so as not to cause more drama or trouble. Basically he's Karl Pilkington.

And last I've got Wes Carpenter,

paytee, Coppertale Senior, drawly and flirty and shade-throwing and tea-sipping Louisiana boy from the swamps. He's a Cajun traiteur in the making, a traditional healer who casts healing magic through his hands and prayer. He's here on a Potions scholarship, but also in choir and drama, and plays guitar in Jesse McBride's band. He's a notorious flirt, a cocky show off who likes to say he's above drama, but not so secretly a pot-stirrer and likes to watch people fumble and struggle so he can say "I told you so."

Hi Madeline! No need to apologize, intros are the worst.

SYBILLA: She sounds fascinating! I'm sure that Antonia would love to use her as a model for more gothic-inspired dresses. Ramon doesn't really care about her.

HOLDEN: Antonia will be friendly to him and try to stick-up for him because she knows what its like to be a doormat. Ramon will walk all over him but also, be encouraging in his own way because #teammates.

WES: Antonia would probably have the most to do with him since they're both in choir. She'll be friendly! Ramon hates cocky people mostly because he himself can be cocky. So he won't like him. Feel free to manipulate him by stirring the pot, this boy's got a temper.
