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 [insanejournal.com profile] 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 ([insanejournal.com profile] 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 ([insanejournal.com profile] 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?

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 [insanejournal.com profile] 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.
