In every adorable sophomore bird dorm, there must be one awful, awful person.
This is Lyss, and I have taken it upon myself to write this person, and I'm sorry.

So hey you guys, meet

Jade is a 16 year old sophomore Azurcrest, and a pureblood. She comes from like, everywhere. That's part of the problem. Her mother is a Guatemalan diplomat, and her father is a Canadian international trade lawyer based out of Vancouver, so she lives (kind of) in both those places.

Her classes include: Charms, Herbology, Hermeticism, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Aesthetic Magic, Astronomy. She isn't as smart as all that would imply, but works hard and gets solid Bs, at least. She's in Drama (she loves it,) and Duelling/Fencing (for the hexes, because those are handy,) and Event Committee (because it seemed like a good idea.)

Jade grew up having to travel the world with her parents for their stupid jobs. She hated it very much, and was not able to ever really adapt to one place enough to really grow roots there. Gooseberry has been that for her so far.

She attended what felt like countless international magic-student-schools and never made any friends. At first she learned to live with that. But then in middle school. she learned that she had claws. Basically. Jade became rude, eager to express her dominance, fake to fit in, honestly kind of deeply unpleasant. It was her version of being Adaptable, but she needed a better one. Sadly, it all paid off. When she moved schools, she now found that she had burned bridges, and they usually didn't want her back. She got in a lot of very real discipline issues. Her last antic was breaking someone's leg. Whoops.

Her parents, in puzzling out what the hell to do with her, made her participate in some extracurricular activities. She chose drama, and she loves it very much. Actually, she's a very good actress. Her many (many) faces come out, when she's not caught up in the backstage dramatics of it all. That's easy for her to do sometimes.

At Gooseberry, Jade's more muted. Her survival instincts are still turned up, but they're slowly dying, and she's learned it's more important to get along with people than be better than them all the time. However, her old habits die hard, and she is still by no means above fake personas and mean-girling to get what she wants.

LOOKING FOR: Oh god, I don't know. People who put up with her? I'm REALLY EXCITED for adorable sophomore antics, and I'm sorry for ruining this class. Mean Girls can she play with you? Acting kids, can she play with you?

LARP kids, her dream is to play with you, but tarninshing her reputation like that seems really unwise. :(

OKAY so here is her app for all the stuff I missed. I tried not to tl;dr. I failed.

ROLLS UP

Hey Jade, Ariadne thinks you're the coolest person in the entire world, maybe. So worldly! Such good breeding. I'm not sure how well they'd get along if Ari wasn't dead-set on impressing her, but she is.

Reece is gonna try to get her to join LARP for sure

Aaaand I don't know how she and Todd would get along? I imagine he's a little put off by her attitude, but they have a lot of overlap (charms, transfig, DADA, astronomy, event committee, and Drama Club which he's also super into) so they probably have a lot of chances to interact anyways?

So OBVIOUSLY Isabelle would be the most likely to interact with her.

They're in nearly all the same classes, both are in drama & event committee, and in common: they both moved around a lot! Issy all throughout America, though but still. And I 100% am ok with Jade making Issy her target of mean-girling, if you want! Because Issy is shy, weird, extremely concerned with her reputation, neurotic, and incredibly self-conscious. The exact perfect target for Jade tbhhhhhh.

Avery will try to be nice, they are in Dueling and Fencing together but thats it and if Jade is that mean/stand-offish, Avery will only try ~so hard~

Penelope at one point would have just ignored the fuck out of Jade, but now either a) Penny's rapidly declining self-confidence in the MOST NOTICEABLE WAY (cause she's all over the journals about it rly) could make her a target OR Penny's penchant for now becoming a mean girl herself might make them friends IDK.

I LOVE HER

I will come back with everyone later but... Kenzie will probably adore her? I MEAN if there's one thing that can be said about Kenzie, it's that she has thick skin. She can shrug off Jade's periodic lashing out, and maintain a pretty level disposition as a counterpoint. She'll let Jade in on all the Mean Girl wards, and be... genuinely affectionate, in her own way.

Ooooooh nooooooo, now I HAVE to app my version of Elliot/Lottie love child, so that he can be friends with Jade

Off the top of my head, I don't think Cricket or Jesse would have all that much to do with her, but WHO KNOWS? Stranger things have happened. If Cricket and Casey can be best friends, we can make anything happen.

Hello I love you I love her I will probably try and formulate a proper response in the morning. But. I'm mostly just really excited to see how she and Riley interact.

...I'm actually more excited to see how she interacts with the sweet Azurbabies tbh but I'm REALLY EXCITED TO PLAY HER WITH RILEY.

Aughhhhh I am sad my Sam concept fell apart. :(((

Idk how much she and Zav or Dimi will interact. If Xavier gets wind that she might be interested in LARP he'd be encouraging. We'll see! Excited to see her in play. :]

LYSS SORY FOR THE DRIVE BY COMMENT BUT I LOVE HER

LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER

quinn, i assume, has had to Prefect at her more than once? she wants to adore jade because she's a baby jay but... like... why you gotta be like that, otterwell. :{ they're in EC together, too.

as a mean girl, casey's super into jade. he's also a fallen alpha so he gets it. kind of.

kurt and she are ~drama starz!~ i can see him not being crazy about her outside of drama, but it's not like he shows that stuff? if she calms down a little in drama club then he's more willing to see her good side.

oh boy

first thoughts : obviously jade and laurel interact like ... all the time via drama & ec
i have no idea what those interactions look like
maybe like a "friendship" where secretly they actually dislike eachother incredibly much
OR THEY ARE ACTUALLY FRIENDS IN A WEIRD WAY i don't know laurel is weird

wilde may or may not be okay with her, i have no idea either ahh
but! they're in dueling/fencing together so ♥

YAY, ROOMIES! Frank will be bubbly and friendly and won't draw all over her section of the cabin without asking several times. Or just encouraging Jade to get in on the cabin art. Because their room is a god damn masterpiece.

Bash is ... Bash. Whatever the hell you want with him, he's good for.

And Roxie understands the whole 'I've been to 500 schools and somehow managed to maintain zero friends from them' experience. With marginally less violence, sure. But with the same end result of not talking to anyone.

OKAY SO

Micah and Jade are fellow Azurcrest sophomores!!!!!! And Micah LOVES an actress, especially an actress who is just a little mean and rude (BE STILL, HIS HEART) so I mean already he's basically in love with her and will be bugging Jade with his extremely ridiculous attention. ;*

Ravi supports Jade joining LARP! You'll make friends!!!! :)

Mina's in all the same clubs as Jade, so Jade will at least know OF her, but since Mina's kinda bossy and rude they probably don't get along??? JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD, OTTERWELL

And Sy has... almost no overlap. :(

ohhhh nooooo

(i use maria valverde for pansy. so i knew at once that this would me terrible.)

GABI IS GUATEMALAN, THIS MUST MEAN SOMETHING.

What are your thoughts on her and Ree?

Isaiah probably knows of her through Pureblood Things.

Saira neither knows nor cares unless she's in Study Group, in which case, sit down and shut up little girl.

LYSSSSSSSSSSSSS ♥

I am so so so excited and I WILL BE BACK.

WHOOPS I never did this sorry ;o; Apologies for very vague responses I'm apparently tired??

Garrett also sophomore, also pure blood! He's not so into the mean girl thing so he might just be a little distantly polite generally, but when she's not doing the aggressive thing he'll be playful and nice with her because he's a good kiddo or something.

Hazel also also sophomore! She... probably doesn't like Jade that much, lol. She'll be nice (and by nice I mean she'll cross out all the snotty shit she'd say), but will be protective if she sees Jade giving anyone crap and tell her to shove it or something.

Asher and Jaime are... irrelevant, honestly. lolol

YAY FOR BB MEAN GIRLS. ♥

Pippa is... apprehensive. She was bullied at Hogwarts and she Does Not want that to happen at Gooseberry too. :( So if Jade says/does cruel things in front of Pippa, then Pippa is going to avoid her at all costs. Buuuut Pippa is also really gullible, so if Jade is good at faking it, then maybe Pippa doesn't realise she's a Mean Girl???

Coralee thinks it's absolutely HILARIOUS that Jade broke someone's leg. Coralee loves manipulating other people into doing things like that, so she may try pushing Jade to be her ~baddest self~ (because seriously, getting along with people is overrated). She's also in Drama and Event Committee, and as long as Jade knows her place (i.e. below Coralee, lol) then they'll get on well!

Irene is in Duelling & Fencing with Jade! She would v much prefer it if Jade doesn't join LARP tyvm. :|

Etta is in the same house but there's probably not much overlap aside from that!
