Hi, everyone, newbie here! My name is Kenzie. I'm 26 years old (27 in April!), I'm an entertainment editor, and please friend me at sora for randomness, video game talk, and memes. I don't know most of you, so I'm excited to meet you. Here are my kids.

Garrett Ogletree (isolate), Coppertale Sophomore, Prefect, Dueling & Fencing, Outdoor Exploration, Quidditch Reserve Beater/Chaser. His concept is "Near-silent reformed rebel in the streets, mischievous consulting troublemaker in the sheets." Despite being the only prefect and the only dark-haired one, Garrett is the Ogletree you might not have heard of because he doesn't talk much. A lot of people think he's an arrogant snob because of this and because of the fact that he'll walk away from conversations that seem sycophantic or superficial and carries himself with the regal bearing of a prince, but the truth is that he's just shy. He won't initiate conversations, but if you start it you'll actually find he's got a mischievous and sly sense of humor to go with his studious athleticism, and he loves danger and trouble as much as the next guy. As a matter of fact, he's a reformed rebel who was quite the problem child back at Ilvermorny (Thunderbird, what what) but did a complete 180 when he started Gooseberry and now is more of a "consulting troublemaker." He'll give you all the information and resources you need, but he'll stay out of it. He's actually quite a little shit. LINES WANTED: Friends? Especially Quidditch friends, even though he's never been off the reserves, and dueling friends, because that is his favorite thing to do ever. People who do charity work with him? He LOVES animals and supports several hundred animal-related charities. People who think he's a tool because he doesn't talk much? People he has advised about pranks and stuff before to hilarious effect when the prank was carried out? Exes of both genders? People who know him from the national dueling competitions he's participated in/won? Bailey Hartman (cyrano), Ebonhide Junior, Cheer Squad, Event Committee. Her concept is "A busybody matchmaker who purposefully confuses "good match" with "good drama." Bailey is a meddlesome matchmaker who will set you up whether you ask her to or not. Like, she has business cards for people who want to have a little fun and go on a few blind dates, but, even if you don't come to her, she's always sticking her nose in other people's business, telling two people they'd be perfect together, and going out of her way to organize them running across each other in intimate settings against their will. But really she just loves drama, so sometimes it's less about perfect match and more about how entertaining the couple will be. Shockingly, when not matchmaking, Bailey is actually pretty quiet and normal and understated. Her own business is kept on a bit of a lockdown, and she's not really prone to drama in her own life because it's only fun when it happens to other people. She loves event planning, cheerleading, and basically anything to do with the social side of school. LINES WANTED: Roommates, come at me! Bailey wants to be friends with ALL of you, especially if you don't want to be friends with her. She went to St. Cyprian until she got into Gooseberry, so come at her St. Cyprian kids. Any and all friends? People she's matched up before and it went great? People she's matched up before and it was horrible and she was all popcorn.gif. Fellow kids from Texas? Exes of her own? Enemies? She's got to have some. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

KENZIE MY HEART AND SOUL

Pin is Garrett's best friend and also they hook up regularly. They are both little shitheads enjoying their shithead little time together. Also Garrett has a gallery of drawings and paintings of himself that Pin gave him
I don't think he and Di have much to do with each other? They'd know each other but, like, they're probs just polite?

BAE is Di's bae, they are besties. Since they both went to St. Cyprian I imagine they may have been friends there already, which helps explain how they got close since it's usually difficult to get close to Di? In any case, Di loves her, and I actually feel like she has/will let Bae set her up because it's good experience for her acting
Pin thinks Bae is hilarious and will let her stick him in any scenario she can come up with, and he will then lie about it and make it seem even more dramatic and ridiculous than it probably was

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

CAROLINE MY GUIDING LIGHT THROUGH THE DARKNESS

Pin is definitely Garrett's best friend. Best friend with benefits. Who gives him art work that he adores and who he has to talk out of trouble on the regular. He'll definitely be polite to you Di, whenever he speaks

Bae and Di went to St. Cyprian together and have been friends forever and an age, and she will only set you up with people she thinks will be good for you. Promise. She gets no enjoyment from casing her friends drama.
Pin literally cracks her up, and she finds his lies even more interesting than the truth honestly. She will set him up with all KINDS of people just for the story.

[bambae]

Hey! I'm Roz. I can't remember if you're new, but if you are, welcome to the game!

(and i'm not being funny, but you called Garrett Gavin up there in his paragraph, and it confused me for a second bc i was like didn't i just do a gavin intro)

But I don't have enough sophomores to respond to all these sophomores

So Solomon, my only sophomore, is in ebonhide and on that quidditch team, but he also has already aggressively befriended Gavin, so he probably attempted to aggressively befriend Garrett too, because that's how he makes friends. He talks a lot, and is super enthusiastic about everything, and probably needs some advise from Garrett on how to pull off good pranks.

Chris, at this journal, is a senior but he's on the coppertale quidditch team as a beater. He's aggressive, and a bit of a dick. He's also in duelling, because he's still aggressive and a bit of a dick. Like he is the epitome of someone spoiling for a fight.

Then Olivia is a junior coppertale, and a prefect. And is aware of Garrett and friendly?

As for Bailey, Olivia is literally the only person I can think to offer to her as a friend. They're both also on event committee together, and on cheer squad, and even tho they're on different houses, olivia doesn't believe in that division of students to facilitate competition bullshit, so she kinda just ignores the house divides.

I hope there's no outrageous typos but I'm too tired to proof read it

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

OH MY GOD WHY AM I SUCH A FAIL THANK YOU

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Roz! I am indeed new, and now really embarrassed that I've already mixed the twins up and didn't notice. MY BAD I HAVE GARRETT. /fails at life It's nice to meet you!

Garrett actually really likes to be aggressively befriended, so they are definitely friends now, especially since they could have bonded over Quidditch. He can talk, Garrett will listen, and also talk him through some good pranks. Just don't do it where he can see you and have to take points okay. #goodprefect

Garrett will know Chris from Quidditch and dueling. He's polite by nature, but maybe Chris can get some of his aggression out by being Garrett's dueling partner to practice for the club? I imagine he'd have a lot of those because he loves, loves, loves dueling.

He'll be friendly to his fellow prefect!

As for Bailey, she'd love to be friends with Ophelia. She also doesn't believe in competition between houses and is the kind of person who would have friends everywhere

Get some sleep! <3

[gonnabefamous]

Hi! I'm Cheryl and I play Chloe Shepherd, Ribbonfin Jr, Tess Noble, Coppertale Sr, and Cameron Carney (this journal), Ebonhide Jr.

I will maybe have more and better things to say when it's not Monday morning, BUT I feel like Bailey and Cam could be pals. He is ALSO on Event Committee and Cheer Squad. He is secretly a perfectionist who is doing really well in school, but he acts like he is ~too cool for school~. He'd happily let her set him up as well as gossip and popcorn.gif with her over other people's matches.

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Monday mornings are indeed the worst. Thanks for popping in <3 It's nice to meet you!

Bailey would love to be friends with Cam. He has hit up all of her interests, especially the popcorn.gif of other people's matches thing. Like he'd find it hard NOT to be her friend, she'd aggressively befriend him so hard :D

[princeprincess.insanejournal.com]

Hi Kenzie! Welcome to the game!!! ♥ I’m Meggie, one of the mods, and I play 5 characters: Diego Morales, Reid Wainwright, Calvin Evercreech, Rafael Ramirez and Mackenzie Prince.

Reid Wainwright unresponsive is a junior Coppertale. Last year he was their team’s Seeker, but this year he’s been moved to Chaser due to his unreliable focus. Reid seems like an unfriendly ice prince, but the reality is that he’s reaaaaaally awkward. Reid has awful communication skills. He'll know Garrett through Quidditch, obviously, so they can be Quidditch friends even though Reid is a block of wood. Bailey's welcome to try and set Reid up with people. He's very pliable and also a complete dud who's guaranteed to disappoint anyone who dates him.

Diego Morales morale is a senior Azurcrest. He’s a hipster musician, and although musically gifted, he’s kind of a ditz. Diego is friendly, warm and attentive, but also incredibly impulsive and messy with really bad self-esteem. He’s a staple of the party scene at school. IT'S GARRETT'S SISTER'S CHEATING EX. He's going to just... stay out of the twins' way. :x On the other hand, he went to St. Cyprian with Bailey! Diego's a non-stop source of romantic drama at this point. Between setting fire to his relationship with Tabitha and having an unrequited crush on the Head Boy, I'm sure Bailey will find him entertaining. He's also available as an ex and/or a friend if you want!

Calvin Evercreech evercreep is a sophomore Ribbonfin and a Hogwarts exchange student (former Slytherin). Calvin is a reforming Slytherin bully, who’s still on the abrasive side, but is generally harmless nowadays. Calvin is very bright and a fantastic student, but he’s also whiny and prickly. It sounds like he might be Gavin's study buddy, so he'll be a little more inclined to be friendly at Garrett. Although the Coppertale Quidditch team makes him nervous because of their captain, and he also struggles to be comfortable around attractive, presumably attainable boys his age. Sooooo Garrett might sometimes get an irrational negative reaction if he's being nice. With Bailey, he might just slip under her radar a lot?

Rafael Ramirez firstposition is a senior Coppertale prefect. Rafael is socially poised and gracious, but he’s also an unrepentant authoritarian. He’s a severe prefect and while generally sweet natured, he’s also severe and doesn’t take any shit. He's going to dote a little on Garrett because he's one of the younger Coppertale prefects. For Bailey, he'll be polite, but he's kind of a control freak and likes to keep his personal drama on Extreme Lockdown.

Mackenzie Prince princeprincess is a junior Azurcrest and the cheer captain. She’s like if you took a mean girl and a class clown and threw them into a blender. She loves to laugh… usually at someone else’s expense. Kenzie’s also an aggressive flirt with a bit of a morbid streak. She'll tease and flirt with Garrett, and try to get a rise out of him because he's so quiet~~~ Bailey, though! Kenzie loves some drama that doesn't involve her! They could be friends, and she would 100% support Bailey's intentionally bad matchmaking. ♥ HOPEFULLY THE DOUBLE KENZIES WON'T GET TOO CONFUSING.

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Hi Meggie, it's so nice to meet you :D FIVE CHARACTERS, so impressed.

Reid and Garrett sound like they have a lot in common actually, with the seeming stoic on the outside and just being shy/awkward in reality. Since they know each other through Quidditch, I am totally down with them being Quidditch friends. I can't wait for their awkward conversations. Bailey will definitely do that. You just wait until February and her annual Lovefest Reid... you just wait.

Garrett literally tried to punch Diego after what Diego did to his sister, so it's your call whether or not that punch happened. Because he tried :| Bailey literally lit up at this entire paragraph. I'm sure she dated him, although for her it'd probably be one of those things where they get along so she went for it but they were better as friends? Because she genuine does like him as a friend, I think. The cheating only makes her like him more, HOW DRAMATIC. Where in his romantic history can he fit her in? Could have been back at St. C even if that works

Garrett will be friendly at Calvin, if by friendly you mean he says four words instead of one or three. He is flattered by the idea that you think he's unattainable Calvin when is, in fact, the biggest nerd. Still polite though! Bailey has her eye on you in the general way she has her eye on every potential match

Garrett would let Rafael dote on him. He looks up to the older prefects and asks them for advice because he's really dedicated to doing a good job with his badge, pranks aside. Bailey actually appreciates this attitude since it's how she feels about her life. IT WON'T STOP HER, but she respects you Rafael.

Garrett is amused by Kenzie's flirting and and will be... polite because he doesn't know what she wants so he's retreated into her shell. BE HER FRIEND KENZIE, SHE WILL GET YOU IN ON ALL THE DRAMA, and bonus of being her friend is that when she sets you up she'll do it with good intentions. BE HER FRIEND.

[sylla]

Hi Kenzie, I'm Madeline and I'm going to copy/paste the basics for my 3 because that is literally the most efficient way to get through all these intros with only my phone to rp on:

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."

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Hi Madeline! Is there going to be a follow-up comment with lines? (I'm asking since you said you're doing it from your phone so I didn't know if one comment was going to be your c&p'd characters and then you were going to comment again with actual lines which is what I do)

LEMME KNOW AND I SHALL RESPOND ACCORDINGLY :D

[ninjaleo]

OH HI KENZIE!!! It's Lyss!! I am so excited to find you in another game omg.

I have two here!

This is Leonardo Fiori, Ebonhide Senior and Quidditch captain/ Beater. He also has ambitions of being an Auror and very soon will turn successfully into a turtle. He's very much the picture of having it all and doing it all, and most importantly WINNING it all. He has a sense of humor that means he comes off as a cocky shit as opposed to Very Serious most of the time!

He would kinda vaguely know/ be amused by Garrett. He is in the same house as Bailey and would be kind to her since she cheers his team and all. He may also have in the past let Bailey Find Someone For Him but then go in the complete opposite direction when choosing, because he's rude. He would thankfully probably not initiate this.

And then I have Addy Foster-Hayes over at adorbs. Addy's an Azurcrest Junior, former Ilvermorny Thunderbird. She comes from a well respected Virginia wizard halfblood family and a similar Muggle family and promptly decided she liked neither. Now she flits around and used to sleep around, and is just in general kind of not tame. She is incredibly warm towards everyone, but prone to poor decisions. AND YES SHE IS LIBBY BUT MAGIC, I wanted to see how it would go...

YAY THUNDERBIRD ALUM!!! HI GARRETT!!! She knows you are not reformed. Wink. This is not a plot. But they could be friends!
She stays clear of most gossipy mean girls in principle so she MAY avoid Bailey :(

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

OMG HI LYSS!!! *clings* Ahhhh, so happy to see you!

Bailey will be nice to him! I also think they know each other from Animagus studies, if that's what the turtle thing means? She's tryna turn into a rabbit. And she actually becomes quite delighted when you go in the complete opposite direction because double dramaz. Not much bothers her honestly...

OMG LIBBY MY HEART AND SOUL. Yessss, Garrett remembers her from Ilvermorny and, ahem, yes, he is not THAT reformed. But he would love to be friends with her! Someone needs to drag him kicking and screaming out of his shell sometimes. Bailey says excuse me, I'm not mean. But she IS gossipy, so yeah Addy steer clear

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Hmm, do I have anything for you? The name sounds familiar...

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

sorry have we met? who is this girl? garrett's never seen her before in life

[quinning]

Hi, I'm Kas! Welcome to Goosberry. :D

Quinn Cunningham (this journal) is a senior Azurcrest, Prefect, & Quidditch reserve. She's a jock with a very playful/sarcastic sense of humour. She's mad studious but is also a party animal who may be a hypocrite.
- GARRETT: Prefects together! Also walks away from conversations, but is not shy — just doesn't have time for that bullshit. She's also on #reservelife.
- BAILEY: They're both in EC but that's about it.

Kurt Wolfhart (lovekurts) is a junior Ribbonfin. He's very shy, has a stutter, and is trying to become a confident social butterfly this year (AKA New Kurt). It's only mostly failing. He's a nature nut who loves animals and Drama and spends a lot of time at the Stables. He's a sweet little dude who doesn't like confrontation.
- GARRETT: Kurt's tight with his sister! Do you think he knows the mischievous side, or is it still unknown?
- BAILEY: Kurt implores Bailey to never set him up with anybody as he would die of awkward :|

Casey Patterson (sunsoutgunsout) is a junior Coppertale. He tries to be a bully and needs to be in control 24/7 but isn't terribly smart. He has a habit of taking off his shirt, and is a contemporary dancer on the Cheer Squad. Runs D&D in Gaming. Secretly on the path to becoming Woke as Fuck thanks to Cricket.
- GARRETT: Coppertale! I bet he's like "YEEEAAAAH OGLETREE" if he knows Garrett's a little shit. He's prob hit on Garrett, as he hits on things that move and might be human. Casey is sadly also a dick.
- BAILEY: Also a cheerleader! Will get Bailey to hook him up with set him up with people on the regular. He is always a bad date. He will also hit on Bailey.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Kas! It's so nice to meet you and I'm so excited to be here :D

Garrett looks up to his fellow secrets and asks them for advice and such since he's actually quite dedicated to his badge despite letting his rebellion out in other ways, so he'd definitely know Quinn from that!
Bailey shrugs.

Garrett and Tabitha run in different social groups, but Garrett LOVES animals so they could have run into each other at the stables and become friends in their own right through that? And thus Kurt would know about his mischievous side.
All Bae heard there was "please set me up with somebody" and in fact she is going to run your life in this way Kurt and I am So. Sorry. About That.

Garrett is wrinkling his nose at the bully thing so, sorry Casey, but you're not getting inside these pants. But if you talk to him often enough he will talk back and reveal his true nature, so if Casey keeps talking to him/hitting on him, then Garrett will say something snarky. It's just a fact.
Bae will graciously allow herself to be hit on, but she always directs Casey away and to the people who she actually wants him to give his attention to because he is not her type #bye But she does love her fellow cheerleaders so she doesn't hate him. She just won't date him

[chryseis]

HI KENZIE! Welcome! I'm so excited about both of your characters! I'm Aleena and I have two:

Cressida Quayle (this journal), but everyone calls her Cricket. She's the Senior Ebonhide Prefect. She's from a prominent pureblood family from Olympus, Tennessee. Her dad is a MACUSA rep with presidential buzz swirling around him and her mom is the Magical Martha Stewart. She makes it her business to know everything about everyone and is very welcoming, inviting, helpful, and warm. But beneath that sweet Southern belle exterior, she's actually very anxious and emotional. She'll have lots of connects with both your characters.

Cricket&Garret: I've already established with Heather that Cricket & Tabs are childhood friends through pureblood circles/MACUSA connections, so Cricket has known Garrett since they were really young. She definitely treats him like a surrogate younger brother and will try to be very involved in his life, whether he likes it or not. She'll probably let him get away with more prankstery things than she would normally let other people get away with.

Cricket&Bailey: GOD BLESS YOU, BAILEY! You've arrived just in the nick of time! Maggie and Cricket were JUST lamenting about how they need someone to meddle on their behalf since the Winter Formal is fast approaching. Cricket is quite the romantic meddler herself and is very protective of her Ebonladies, so I think they'll get along super well.

Jesse McBride (ijustknowit). He's the Senior Azurcrest Prefect. His tagline is "Self-assured Hermeticism geek loves boobies, beer, and breaking the space-time continuum." Jesse is a very gifted math/science/spell craft kid who spends a lot of time working on his Senior Project, which is essentially teleportation for muggles. But socially he comes across as bro-y, irreverent, crass, and a little bit annoying. He's very laid back, sure of himself, and doesn't really let anything get under his skin. He loves to party and has a bit of a drinking problem, but is generally a nice enough guy. He is the drummer for "his" band (name constantly changing) with Wes and Dahlia.

Jesse&Garret: Jesse is cool with your pranking. You do you. Garret will probably think Jesse is gross though, because he is the exact opposite of a little prince. He wears cargo shorts, always seems to smell like deli meat, and his drink of choice is malt liquor. Great guy. Gotta love him.

Jesse&Bailey: They could have a fun dynamic, I'm not sure! If she is friends with Wes through St. Cyprian, that could be a connection for them. Good luck trying to matchmake for Jesse, though. He is NOT a hot commodity, but he'll take any meddling in stride and just laugh it off.

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

HI ALEENA!! OMG that's so flattering thank you :D

Aha, this is the infamous Cricket Quayle. OMG, that's adorable. Garrett looks upon her as an older sister for sure. He was such a little shit all through Ilvermorny and also childhood, just the worst, but he's calmed down a lot more now. And he's loved her through it all regardless — and will be a little shit to her because, well, she knows him.

Bae says oh I got this. I got you. Bae will absolutely love Cricket, and she will absolutely be doing her matchmaking for the formal. I was planning to do a code for it when I got home, so this will be a fun way to flex her muscles there.

Garrett doesn't judge, man. He's not so much into the crassness but if you want to smell like deli meat that's your business. He'll be polite but probs not close.

TBD on Wes, but if they're friends than Bae is a big fan of their band and will promote them and attend their concerts and such, as she does. And she absolutely will matchmake for Jesse. The point of a blind date is that it's blind. If only it didn't have a sense of smell...

[ohappyday.insanejournal.com]

Kenzie!! I'm Sarah , not sure if you remember me, we have played in lots of things, and I'm super stoked you're here :D :D :D

I have three babies, one of which is brand new so let's see.

First I have Victoria (Vic) Powers vicpower, Sophomore Coppertale, haver of sarcasm, hater of cold, owner of a guitar playing Iguana named Hector, and her best friend is her sister Vee who is a Junior Ebonhide cheer captain. I would say she definitely will have the most potential for lines with Garret. Same house and year, and they are kinda similar but in different ends of the spectrum. She's also one who would use sarcasm to kinda be her shield, and she is bad at opening up to people, but mostly because she just is bad at it, not because she doesn't like to or is particularly shy. She isn't into quidditch but she LOVES ANIMALS A LOT, and wants to be the next Newt Scamandar. She's also really into masterminding pranks, so they could bond over that. Like, be business partners in a way. For Bailey, they would mostly know each other through Vee. She's in your cabin a lot. Good lord would she scare Vic, who doesn't get romantic attraction (she doesn't yet realize she's demisexual) so that could be awkward and fun if she tries to matchmake her because it will Not Go Well. She'll cheer her on at cheerleading tho.

Next I have Anhuea (An) Alapai, alohaha, Senior Ribbonfinn, maker of terrible decisions, mostly laid back island girl who is kind of a huge flirt. She's at Gooseberry because she messed up on the islands and her dad paid her way in. She's not TERRIBLE at classes, she just is easily distracted. She's rather be surfing basically. But she's on the quidditch team and she tries to be friends with literally everyone (even if she is currently in an icy situation with a (former) friend/cabinmate when she got drunk and slept with her bf. Remember: Terrible Life Choices. She would know Garret from quidditch, likely, and she tries to be friends with everyone, but if he's closed off she might not keep bugging him. But she's at least p friendly. Bailey she would probably get along with, and lol, it would be awesome if she was set up by her and it went awful but they remained friends anyway haha. Idk could be fun!

Finally my newest is Lachlan (Lach) Galbraith ohappyday, Junior Azurcrest. He's an exchange student from Hogwarts, former Hugglepuff, and completely a teddy bear. He is friendly, cuddly, and completely earnest. He loves outdoor education and nature. Garret would be in OE with him. They are basically polar opposites. He's a hugger and a close talker, I imagine that probably doesn't go over well with him. Bailey is in his year, and he loves love, so feel free to have tried to set him up but prob went awful bc most girls are like "aww he's cute!" like you say to a kitty cat not to someone you wanna make out with. But we can see!!

WELCOME!!!

[ohappyday.insanejournal.com]

Oh sarah as in bodysaysno lol there are a million of us.

[neattrick]

Hi Kenzie! I'm JJ! I'm super busy starting a new job today but I'm so excited about all these intros that I'm gonna try to get this in real fast.

So I have one of Bailey's roommates, Clementine! She's happy to be friends with Bailey. She's already pretty close with Sylla and Vee so even though they kind of run the gamut of personalities I like the idea of them being pretty close-knit? Clementine only really cares about Quidditch and doesn't date a lot so she can try to matchmake for her to hilarious effect I'm sure. And Clem's pretty laid back as far as being a roommate goes! She's a real morning person which I guess could be annoying if you're not.

Also I'm so glad Vee has her cheer squad now she was alone for sooo long

Also also, congrats to Bailey for being the tallest in the cabin by 4 inches. They're super shorties.

I'll be back for Garrett & w the rest of my characters soon!

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Hi JJ! :D Good luck with your new job!

Bailey loves all her roommates. She thinks of the roommate situation as having an ongoing slumber party so she'd love to be close to all of them if possible, please and thank you. Very little actually bothers Bailey actually. She has a very DGAF attitude.

And is proud to be the tallest tyvm

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Hi Kenzie! I'm Sara and I have four!

This one is Ree Hobbs. She's an Azurcrest sophomore artist person. She's basically everywhere all the time. Somehow she is a prefect, don't ask me how. She could be a Quidditch friend as she is a beater, albeit for another house? Also she was a Thunderbird in Garrett's years so they know each other for sure! I'm not sure how she'd react to Bailey, we'll have to see.

Isaiah Covington icovington is a Ribbonfin senior who spends all his time in the music room doing music things. He's quite introverted and probably has never spoken to either of yours. Aww.

Saira Raza sairaza is a coppertale junior who's concept is like "Hermione on steroids + sarcasm + never not working ever" idk. I deeply want Bailey to try to matchmake her if only because wow, that would not go well at all.

And Gabi Flores gabiflor is a precious lil angel baby Ribbonfin sophmore. She's 100% optimistic and naive and loves everyone and trusts everything always. She's in cheer so she might kind of know Bailey that way?

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Sara! So nice to meet you!

Garrett would love to know Ree, from Ilvermorny and now here. She's one of his co-prefects (as in she's in his year) so he'll be friendly, and more talkative with her than he would be with other people.

And Bailey loves her fellow cheerleaders so prepare to be smothered with love Gabi!

She will probably attempt to matchmake all these people, but it's nice of Saira to give her permission. And by Saira, I mean you her player

[seekster.insanejournal.com]

Hello! I'm Nicole, another newbie here and I just have the one kid right now but Aiden is Garrett's roomie so yay!

His intro is here (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/goose_ooc/44935.html?) for a bit more about him but they're both quidditch players and animal lovers and Aiden pretty much gets along with everyone. He's also glad Garrett likes cats since Aiden's own cat rarely leaves their room. But he's all for being friends!

Oh god, Bailey is awesome. Aiden's not really a a fan of drama for no reason so he probably just quietly avoids her.

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Hi Nicole! It's so nice to meet you!

I cannot even tell you how much Garrett likes cats. Aiden, if you can't find your cat, Garrett probably has him. He'd love to be friends!

LOL thank you. She is... something all right. Avoid her if you dare. Or rather if you can

Hello there! I'm Emma and I have a few that might overlap yours!

I have Hayley Ferris, just Ferris, who is an Ebonhide sophomore who basically just hates people. She can be gotten along with as long as you understand that she is never going to be nice to you in a normal nice way. More of a 'I kinda yell at you and point a lot but if I talk to you it means you're okay' situation. She's pretty much a hick who doesn't give a crap about most things.

Also Katya Ivanova, a Azurcrest junior Prefect who is super nice, super Russian and a really easy going Prefect. She flits in and out of things but just talks a lot and will try to be your friend more than anything.

... this is Ferris journal and Katya is catseyenebula I'm really good at this I swear.

Hi Kenzie! I'm Callie. Welcome to the game! :) I have 4 here for you to enjoy. ;)

Vee here is the most important because she is also a Junior Ebonhide. AND Bailey's cheer captain. She is "Perky overachiever with an inability to say no or comprehend failure." Vee joins every club, takes every class (or she did before she realized that wasn't realistic, and it still makes her sad she can't tbh), and is generally someone who likes to keep busy and do well and be perfect because that's important. She's friendly with everyone, which can be annoying or overwhelming. She loves her roomies and loves her squad and I just really think she'll love Bailey. The matchmaking is adorable in her opinion. And Vee is friends with Tabs, so she wants to be friends with her siblings if possible. She is a little much for quiet ones sometimes, though.

Susana Velasquez will, however (gottaplay) Coppertale Sophomore. Quidditch obsessed, grew up in a wealthy family but was always ignored/overlooked. She can be a bit guarded and have attitude, but really she's a sweet girl who just likes being noticed. Quidditch makes her feel special and important so she is super into it. Ana definitely should be friends with Garrett. She also thinks he's cute, but has like ZERO experience with guys (she can flirt and is girly despite the Quidditch, so maybe something can be done there?) Either way, they're in the same house and on the Quidditch team so. Ana likely won't have much cause to interact with Bailey, but being matchmade sounds exciting even if she won't admit it lol

Marilyn Fairchild (notmonroe) Junior Ribbonfin. She plays Quidditch, but grew up in a literal zoo (parents are a magizoologist and a dragon tamer so they lived outdoors on reserves and moved around a lot) Think Mean Girls, because she's super sweet and naive with social things, but got taken advantage of by a mean clique who told her she was pretty and could use it. However, she's not that anymore, but she still likes girly things now and tries not to be too high maintenance. Super sweet and innocent to everyone, so she'll be nice to both. However, since Garrett loves animals too, I can see them getting along REALLY WELL. I mean, she wants to help with these charities and talk to him about animals and OMG HAVE YOU MET HER EGYPTIAN SAND CAT FAMILIAR? Yeah. That kind of thing.

Ryan Hertz (glasshalfdoomed) Senior Azurcrest. He had a rough childhood (dad abused him when he found out he had magic because he thought he was "evil", mom never in the picture) So he basically now doesn't think he deserves to be happy or have good things. But since finding out his mom is in Azkaban, he decided he didn't want to be like either parent so pretends to be an aloof yet charismatic enigmatic bad boy, when really he wishes he could be his doome cookie reclusive self. He isn't overly extroverted, but isn't mean. He's hard to get close to, but won't ignore or be mean to anyone. I'm open to whatever you think of (if anything) for my little doom cookie "I don't know I'm hot because I'm awkward" secret charmer.

Hi Callie! It's so nice to meet you!

Bae LOVES Vee. She loves all her roommates, but she loves Bee's enthusiasm and friendliness honestly. And Garrett finds her to be a bit Much, but he's not unfriendly. He just usually lets her lead most of the conversation.

Garrett will totes be friends with her! He likes to flirt too so they could totally have flirty conversations! And Bae will totally set her up. She will do this to everyone. No one escapes.

YOU HAD HIM AT ANIMALS. BE HIS FRIEND. BE HIS FRIEND RIGHT NOW. YOU LIVE IN A /ZOO/? CAN HE HAVE COME TO VISIT YOU??? Everything you've said just made him go YISSSS

Bae doesn't even know how to be intimidated by people so she could have seen Ryan brooding around places and come to talk to him even if he didn't talk back. Every time she saw him she would do this until she just started calling them friends and if he didn't disagree it's now canon

[nobletoo]

Hello! Welcome to the game! I'm Jackie and I've got two brats at the current moment:

Frankie Noble's over here is an Azurcrest Sophomore. She's an enthusiastic little nerd who enjoys doodling on walls and reading comic books. (Her hearing aids are purple like Hawkeye's. She's a huge dweeb.) She also has an older sibling at the school, so fistbump on that Garrett. And Bae's matchmaking would slightly terrify her, ngl. She is not equipped for that.

And Roxanne Barringer (tightwire) is a Junior from Coppertale. She was raised in what pretty much equates to Magic Traveling Circus and walks tightrope when she's not at school violently beating on things during Quidditch games. Roxie would know Garrett from Quidditch and from Dueling Club. And, y'know, Coppertale in general. (Ah, success with brain functioning, yes.) Roxie's way less terrified of matchmaking, but will very happily snort and blatantly roll her eyes at the concept.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Jackie! It's so nice to meet you :D

How great is comic book Hawkeye, though. Bae lives off the fear of others (not really but it doesn't bother her) so she'll keep a file on you Frankie. She and Garrett might not know each other very well, but he'll be polite? And probably appreciates her doodling since he likes art. I mean so does Bae, but he's more likely to notice it if they have a class together or whatever.

Everything about Roxanne sounds amazing, omg. Since those two things make up Garrett's favorite things, she's probably heard him talk quite a bit before and he finds this traveling circus thing fascinating tbh. Bae would be happy to set her up. She doesn't even need to ask.

[destructobot.insanejournal.com]

heyyyy welcome! :D

i'm kay & i have threee kids here :

Zoey Valentine, valentinez, a ribbonfin senior. calm, friendly, frankly super ribbonfinny w some sprinkles of rebellion. she plays chaser for her quidditch team, is in a band w a couple of azurcrests, super super good at potions, kinda brainy/academic, annnnnnd also a wannabe seer (much to the dissatisfaction of her mother). most recently she's been falling back into some overworking tendencies & getting quietly disillusioned w things ;-; she tends to get along w pretty much everyone cos she's so chill ? she loves tabitha, so she probably loves the twins too and would be a friend. c: c:

then there's Laurel Templeton, laaurel -- she's an azurcrest senior, super into drama & theatre & costumes and clothing charms, dancer, nerdy lil bookworm. she's kinda just a silly, straightforward, cheery type who thinks everything is funny and has a hard time taking anything seriously except her sincere interests. she also has an identical twin in ribbonfin, which is fun. she's generally pretty easy to get along with too i think, if a bit of a weirdo. she likely feels some solidarity with garrett because of twin things, but idk how much overlap they'd actually have. she and bailey totally interact tho cos of event committee! i think they might kind of get along.

last is Jonathan Wilde, destructobot. ebonhide junior. he's an aloof, pretentious lil dude w a competitive streak who likes to write ~secret poetry~ and do sick skateboard tricks/risk his life for the daredevil lulz. reserve keeper for the ebonhide team. hides insecurities under a prickly too-cool too-smart exterior, or at least that's what he hopes. is actually kind of a good friend if he likes you. i kinda just picked wilde up so am still gettin used to him so it's hard to say if he gets along w people quite ;-; i do kind of get the impression that he and garrett might vibe well tho! he's also on reserve, also loves dueling, and can commiserate re: being a Problem Child at ilvermorny (he almost dropped out) slash also at gooseberry (he got in a fist fight with chris park last year and is kinda just a troubled dude idk). soo yeah! i mean -- they could be friends, or they could be too similar in some ways and not get along. ;-; who knows. um wilde is also in the same year/house as bailey, so they DEFINITELY see eachother all the time. he probably finds her matchmaking stuff SUPER ANNOYING, so of course feel free to try to match him ♥ :p

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Kay! It's so nice to meet you and thank you for the warm welcome!!

Is she in the band with Wes and Jesse or is this a separate band? How many bands are active in this game right now? Garrett will know her from being around his sister and will be friendly to her for sure :D

Bae thinks Laurel sounds like so much fun and especially since she's often hanging around Drama Club to support Diana Gam in her plays, she might know her very well from that and Event Committee. BE HER FRIEND.

Annnd I think Jonathan sounds amazing and Garrett would be honored to be his friend. Problem Children at Ilvermorny unite. And Garrett is actually pretty easy to get along with once you get him actually talking. Bae knows him from being in the same house and year and he is free to be as annoyed with her as he wants, it won't stop her. She is always lovely and friendly to him because she knows her hobby annoys him and she kills people with kindness. She's the worst :D

[un_kept]

Welcome! I'm Jordan, nice to meet you!

For Garret

Avery Davenport (this journal) is a Ribbonfin JR and Quidditch Captain. She is also in Outdoor Exploration and Dueling/Fencing so despite not being same house/same year they have a lot of interaction and I think she'd like him just fine! She's a nice and more quiet sort of girl. Very feminine but also super into sports and outdoorsy stuff. She's really kind and good at school and isn't much of a trouble maker - she doesn't care what *you* do but she isn't really wanting to participate, either. When the others go off to break rules maybe they hang together and do Gooseberry Approved activities xD

Penelope Vargas sneakoscoped is a Coppertale Senior, also on the reserves (Seeker) and has been since her freshman year. They can lament about being on reserves together. Since he is ALSO benched, she probably hates him the least out of everyone on the team. She ALSO does not talk much and is one of those friends who can sit quietly in the same space as you and be fine without needing to fill the space with conversation, so I can see them actually starting out kind of being eh during practice and etc and over the last two years he's been at Gooseberry, gotten to be friends?

For Bailey
Avery is also a Junior so they have classes together! Avery is really kind and friendly and has probably spent years resisting Bailey's meddling until RECENTLY and maybe that can be a starting point for a better friendship because maybe Bailey asks *again* who she might like and instead of the fast "NO ONE" Avery is like "UMMMMMMMMMM" and Bailey can jump all over that? Aside from classes though, they don't have many activities in common and Avery is more laid back but I can still see them being friends!

Penelope, though, thinks she's AWFUL and hates meddlesome people but may want to be meddled with anyway because honestly her biggest criteria for friendship is "effort." if you're willing to try, even after being initially rebuffed, Penny might not hate you. Otherwise, she hates you.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Jordan! It's nice to meet you too :)

Garrett would love that. He loves sports and outdoorsy stuff and Gooseberry Approved activites, so having someone he can kind of chill with when other people are rule breaking would be perf for him. And he'd love to be friends with Penelope! Being on the bench is The Worst, isn't it?

Bailey would love to be friends with Avery. I mean, setting people up is kind of her whole thing but she also appreciates laid back attitudes. Penelope probs she wouldn't like so much

[doobwaa.insanejournal.com]

Hello Kenzie, it is Dana. :) We have crossed paths before.

So I just have one, Bianca here Ribbonfin Sophomore.

She would be the type of person to start up a conversation, she is pretty chill and friendly. She is your calm easygoing Ribbonfin, who is always late and often sleeping in and generally looking like a disaster because she never allows enough time to handle herself. But when she has free time she is pretty laidback. She can be a bit stubborn when it comes to her opinions but other than that she is just sort of there and goes with the flow. She has moments of butting heads with Gavin and then also being partners with him for projects so there is that too. They are in Dueling and Outdoor Exploration together too. Bianca would also probably know him from dueling stuff. She used to compete in Canada. So common ground.

Bailey on the other hand I don't think naturally overlap, but that is not to say she wont like the gal. She is welcome to try and set her up with someone lol. But really I am open for anything and see how they interact on journals?

PS loving both pb choices.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Hi Dana! Nice to see you again!

Garrett loves dueling and could use more sparring partners in between the competitions he's done on break, so maybe he could know her from that? Like they practice together outside of the club?

Bailey will def set her up, she don't need your permission trust me

:D Thank you

[orangepip]

Hi Kenzie, welcome to the game! Sorry this reply is SO LATE omg. I'm Josie and I have four characters here:

This journal is Pippa Nightingale, a Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student new to Gooseberry this year. She's a soft-hearted vegan pacifist and would definitely be up for helping Garrett with his animal charity work! As for Bailey, Pippa is ON A MISSION to snag herself a cute American boyfriend, so she may ask Bailey for help with that~

Henrietta Gray (unregrettable) is a senior and the new Azurcrest Quidditch captain, taking over from her sister who was captain for the last two years. She loves parties, flirting, and having fun, but can be pretty blunt. She'll be aware of who Garrett is via Quidditch and OE. And I think she'd be friendly to Bailey? Etta probably finds Bailey's matchmaking amusing as long as it's not malicious.

Coralee Wong (firecoral) is a Coppertale junior, and kind of a bitch although she tries to hide it under fake sweetness and passive aggression. Coralee is a troll who loves stirring up trouble for the lulz. I think she'll clash with Garrett, especially given that Garrett is also a prefect. But! I think Coralee would get on well with Bailey (which is saying something, because Coralee gets on with very few people). But if you're up for them being sort-of friends, then Coralee would encourage Bailey to stir up drama with her matchmaking, and sit back and laugh at the results with her.

Lastly, Irene Lovelace (interlacing) is an Ebonhide senior, and is pretty quiet and bookish until you get to know her, but sadly I don't think she'll have much overlap with either of your characters.

[cyrano.insanejournal.com]

Hi Josie! It's so nice to meet you :)

If you love animal charities, Garrett is your guy. He can name six off the top of your head that could use your help, and twelve ways you can help with each of them. Bae would LOVE to help with that, this is her entire life.

And she'll be friendly to Henrietta! It's... only sometimes malicious. Depends on whether you consider a general addiction to drama malicious as she's really very nice otherwise.

Um, Coralee and Bailey need to be friends right now. You cannot convince her to pee on the noble art of matchmaking, but when she gets a particularly dramatic and funny pair together, she'll LOL with Coralee.

:( Sorry Irene
