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?

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

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
