HELLO YES HI EVERYBODY IT IS ALEX, I HAVE ANOTHER CHARACTER. We all knew this was going to happen.

So this is Rosemary Stoker. QUICK FACTS:

Ribbonfin Junior & prefect

Twin sister to Sy Stoker, but will side eye the hell out of you if you try to get her to discipline him.

Grew up in Elysian Fields, went to Port Prep. SOCAL FRIENDS, C'MERE.

In Choir, Equestrian, Duelling & Fencing

You can call her the mom friend, but she is a strict mom friend. If you want her to take care of you then you ALSO HAVE TO LISTEN TO HER. Which makes her come across as mean sometimes.

Used to be super competitive. Like, she was kind of just female Sy but she could walk in heels kinda. But she's trying to learn to let all that go and not be so competitive. And sometimes she is totally not able to let it all go, like around exam time or when watching Quidditch. Someone should teach her how to meditate. Or convince her to get drunk. You know, either way.

Not a typical Ribbonfin, but she wants to be a Ribbonfin. TEACH HER YOUR LEVEL HEADED WAYS, FISHES.

UM, OTHER THINGS, IDK. I'M TERRIBLE AT INTROS. LET'S JUST THROW CHARACTERS AT EACH OTHER AND SEE WHAT STICKS?

also i have been terrible at replying to intros lately. i got behind when i went out of town and got intimidated by the number of posts to reply to when i got back, so HI I'M ALEX, i also have nathaniel bird (

flyover) and riley stamper (

rageahol) who we can also throw at each other. i am all for throwing.

God, okay, Alex brace yourself. Before the game even started Marin got a Megginopoly with Sy, so all of my characters have really complicated relationships with dear Sylvester that will probably impact Rosy. This is going to be a Sy-heavy response and Marin's going to love it.

Okay, first off, Reid. Spoilers here, but Reid and Sy may maybe possibly be best friends. I think both of them would die before admitting it, but Sy spent a lot of time last year pushing Reid to get his act together so he could stay at Gooseberry. Reid gives Sy shit, but doesn't like other people seriously trash talking him. His pro-Sy arguments are not very articulate, though. Uh, as a result, I imagine he's probably good to Rosy. Reid's not great at FRIENDLY but Rosy's Sy's sister and that's significant to him.

Diego is MAYBE Sy and Rosy's cousin via their mom and his anonymous-ish sperm donor. Diego and Sy found this out when they were a sophomore and freshman respectively, and Diego managed to win Sy over. By now they have a pretty affectionate relationship, and like to imagine they're cousins even though the reality is that they're probably not nearly that closely related. All of this could be equally applied to Rosy if she was receptive. Diego gives affection readily and in a very unguarded way, especially when he thinks it's "family." If she's not into it and/or thinks he's annoying WHICH HE TOTALLY IS SOMETIMES he'll take it harder than usual. He gets along with Sy because he kind of just folds when people compete with him, and maybe that'd work on both Stoker twins?

AND CALVIN. Calvin is Sy's #1 bullying victim, and has been since last year. He's also in the same house as Rosy, and shares all of her clubs. If all Rosy does is not stick up for him when Sy picks on him... Calvin will actually understand that. NOT THAT HE'LL BE THRILLED, but he gets it. A lot of people he calls friends get along well with Sy, and Calvin is the "good" child in a family of really mean, aggressive brothers. One of those brothers reminds him a lot of Sy. And Calvin's old horrible codependent BFF also reminds him of Sy. But if Rosemary goes after him when he bites back at Sy, his opinion will switch from neutral verging on understanding to resentful and distrusting.

YOU MAKE ME SOUND LIKE SUCH A MASSIVE NARCISSIST

~~i mean i am but they don't need to know that~~

I POSTED THIS LAST NIGHT AND THEN PASSED OUT, all responses are now going to be coming from a pre-coffee Alex.

OK SO REID, Rosy can probably pick up on the fact that he's NOT just an asshole who doesn't talk much, esp bc she is also kind of a reserved person who can come off as rude or distant or condescending. AND. YES. OH GOD I'M SO TIRED AND INCOHERENT. WHAT I'M SAYING IS SHE FEELS YOU DUDE, AND SHE WILL TALK AT HIM OR SOMETHING OK.

DIEGO. There will be times that she hurts sweet baby Diego's feelings because she just needs him to GO AWAY. She's USUALLY nice enough and isn't going to yell at him (aside from prefecty things or whatever there is to yell about), and even though she's more skeptical about the maybe-cousins thing, she's still like YAY OK WE CAN ACT LIKE FAMILY, I LIKE NICE FAMILY. ♡

CALVIN. THIS MIGHT BE A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP. she is going to feel bad about not stopping Sy from going after Calvin all the time, but then at the same time she's like NO I CAN'T BE HIS MOTHER, DO NOT TURN ME INTO HIS NAGGING MOM. And, like, the majority of the time she is just going to kind of act like NOTHING IS GOING ON LALALA, but I'm REALLY NOT SURE what she would do re: biting back. She's not oblivious to the fact that Sy needs to get taken down a peg once in a while, but at the same time, if he said or did the EXACT WRONG THING then emotions would push rational thought out of the way and she would go all snarly beast. Then she would feel REALLY SUPER BAD about it later and Ribbonfin would facepalm at her inability to maintain diplomacy. SO. COMPLICATIONS YES.
