Hello friends and family. Guess who also has no sense of self control (the answer is Alex, Alex has no sense of self control). So, meet my sixth goddamn character Dahlia Hale, Ebonhide Senior, Seeker, possessor of perfectly average-sized arms.

APPLICATION HERE, but you don't want to read all of that, let me save you the trouble.

CLASSES: Charms, History of Magic, Outdoor Education, Aesthetic Magic, Artificing, Astronomy

CLUBS: Quidditch (Seeker), Choir, Gardening, Outdoor Exploration, and also she's one of you weird dancing people.

From Wichita, KS, where her mom is a very minor celebrity because she hosts a morning show there. I feel like that relates to like... one person here. Hi Milo. Let's be Kansans together.

Was one of those toddlers in tiaras in kid pageants, because her mom peaked at eighteen and wanted to live vicariously through her. But when she kept running and hiding from the things she was finally allowed to stop wasting the entry fees and quit.

Total tomboy. Probably hasn't worn a dress since she was ten years old. Would rather not deal with hair and makeup and clothes that fit her properly.

Artsy fartsy painter girl. Her senior project is a giant painting of a Quidditch game. She probably just hasn't been around all year because she's busy working on it all the time, that's how big it is. She usually has paint on her clothes and her face.

Has a lot of capricious interests that she drops after she gets bored with them. She probably knitted like one person a scarf and it sucked and she stopped, she tried to do an indoor garden in their cabin for like two weeks, she thought maybe she could learn Spanish or how to play the bass by practicing three times as hard for 1/3 the length of time. She fizzled on all of these things and hopes you don't remember that.

She's not afraid to feel her feelings. Probably too much. If you have ever watched a heartwarming movie with her or caught her at the end of a sad book you have seen her sob her eyes out and she dgaf. She's also the person laughing so hard at a movie that you can't even hear the jokes. She gives even fewer fucks. It's very hard to embarrass her.

Gives great hugs. Her hugs might bruise you. She doesn't hold back.

Has a turtle baby named Donatello.

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR HI. come at me ebonfam quid, senior ebongals, people who have been recruited to teach her something for the two weeks that she was super interested in this new hobby, friends, people that think she's too loud and just needs to like take a step back, someone she ran to with a dumb question about Donatello because she couldn't find Mrs. O'Hare and (she thought) it was URGENT, the poor soul that was the recipient of her terrible scarf, WHATEVER WHATEVER LET'S DO THIS.

MILO IS ALSO FROM WICHITA.

It is 335am. I need to sleep. I will reply with more and actual things tomorrow but I NEEDED TO MAKE THIS KNOWN ♥

HEY MILO WE WILL BE KANSANS TOGETHER. LET'S TALK ALL ABOUT... KANSAS... THINGS.

I know legit nothing about Kansas. That's where the school for the deaf was on the show he was on and it seemed appropriate to keep? So yeah. Thats all I got myself. But they will talk about something!!

I swear I'll do the rest after work tonight lol ♥

HI ALEX

Penelope: Likes her? Strangely enough? Someone who isn't afraid to feel their feelings and be fuckin IDK ALL that Dahlia is is pretty fuckin awesome? I'm just as surprised as you are.

Avery: Would teach her all the things if she joined something and wanted to learn! She has no hard feelings towards other Quid players because bitch is so fucking happy go lucky and in touch with her own feels she is like YAY FRIENDS all the time it's kind of gross I'm so sorry for everyone who has to deal with her.

Oscar: WOULD ANSWER ALL HER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TURTLE. He has big dreams of being a magizoologist and has read all sorts of shit plus he loved the ninja turtles growing up so he had a turtle phase. He probably thinks she's SO COOL.

Isabelle: IS ALSO ARTSY FARTSY. She has probably gaped unabashedly at Dahlia's painting and admired it a lot. She has a senior love complex. She idolizes all of you. You are her senior ebonhide and she thinks you are *SO COOL* (cue big cute cat eyes). She is super in touch with her emotions and has learned that she *has to let herself feel them* in order to not be overstressed by them so can they please watch movies on the couch and sob and laugh really obnoxiously?

OKAY YES I'M DOWN WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS. dahlia can sometimes just turn to avery and be like "hey do you know how to do a thing, teach me how to do a thing"

And she and issy can watch like homeward bound 2 and sob together nbd

lmao yes "i have no idea how to do that thing lets learn how to do that thing together." lmao

and yes nbd just cryfests on the couch watching ridiculous sequels that somehow still make everyone sob (both the homeward bound movies made me cry like a little bitch baby)

Edited 2017-04-23 22:00 (UTC)

i ship dahlia's and etta's arms.

(i'll be back after work with something more substantial than a shitpost)

Dahlia's arms aspire to be like Etta's arms one day, one glorious day.

AAAH I'M SO HAPPY. And I'm sorry I had to break down and post the Family Meeting before she was in; he had to yell at the team about events today so oops :( BUT LEO WILL RESPOND TO HER THERE ANYWAY :|

LEO LOVES HER SO MUCH? SHOULD BE SUPER TIGHT. WILL NEVER LET THEM STRETCH HER ARMS.

ADDY: Is also in clubs with her and would like her! I feel like her mom is totally someone who would've put her daughters in pageants but they were all hellions instead so there was never an opportunity.

My other two DO NOT MATTER

IT'S COOL YO LEO HAS LOTS OF BABIES TO WORRY ABOUT

SHE LOVES LEO SO MUCH, I bet she tells her turtle to call him uncle Leo.

And she and Addy can be less classy than their mothers want them to be together and LOVE IT.

ALL OF YOUR CHARACTERS MATTER but maybe save ferdie from my loud ladies, Riley is more than enough for the poor boy.

Leo will call him his nephew proudly and visit all the time :(
Related: Look, I found Donatello, he grew up to be big and strong and working in Target. (I did not place that turtle there, but I was so happy to see it.)

Class is a vvv relative term soooo.

THIS REMINDS ME TO TAG RILEY, SIGH. I love that they are now bffs, it is hilarious.

YAAAAAY

KAZIM THINKS SHE'S GREAT. he buys her 3/4 sleeve shirts for her birthday and says they're "a perfect fit." he's on quid and in OE and some classes and OH YEAH her house and year~~~ he has been known to pick up and drop a phase (or six) so he gets that, and yes, he loves her. he doesn't really acknowledge when she Feels. he doesn't run away or anything, but he's not going to rush to her rescue because he's like "she does this three times a day, guys, she's totally fine." but since he guards his emotions like the crown jewels, he's like a weird straight man or something. maybe he secretly feeds off her many emotions. i really have no idea. maybe she's even one of the few to see his emotions. i still have no idea.

(important q: did he try to teach her how to play bass)

quinn is in a few classes, OE, and attends barre. the Feelings are a little more "AHHH" for her. she wants dahlia to focus on one thing and sit still, PLEASE. ~~she also doesn't really Get the fine arts but shhh.~~ but she digs her.

casey is at barre with her and that's like the only time he settles down, so congratz 2 u. he's also attached to cricket and she's cricket's roomie, so... hey there. he's just dropping by to swap these steamy romance novels. sup.

kurt is in OE and gardening. he admires how open she is with her emotions. he probably never talks to her but i can imagine he'd be a little starry-eyed.

Kazim for Dahlia's bass teacher 2012 definitely DEFINITELY. I bet she tries to get him to ~feel~ with her sometimes or teases him for being a robot, but SHE DOES IT BECAUSE SHE LOVES YOU.

She probably thinks Quinn is KIND OF INTENSE and also I personally find it funny that the Ebonhide is the flighty one here, but she thinks it's hella chill that you got such focus gurl.

I bet she calls Casey her nephew and pinches his cheek.

She also wants to pinch Kurt's cheek but doesn't want to scare him away. He's like a wild deer.

Neil is in her house/year and he's default friendly with the senior Ebonpeople. Especially with her rotating interests, he can't be bothered to remember what she's into this week. He shows up to Ebonhide games to support his friends even though wow he doesn't care about Quidditch. But he really likes her sincerity bravery!

Diego probably really likes her?? He's artsy-fartsy and... so many feelings. He's so much easier to embarrass than her but he'll appreciate more emotional souls running around campus.

Rafael she's a dance person!!! Which is an automatic in. Rafael is probably perpetually mildly exasperated by her picking up and dropping hobbies because Dahlia you could have mastered Spanish if you'd just stuck with it. He's bad at most hugs but will let her hug him. (Now we just need a Michelangelo to complete the TMNT!)

Reid RIVAL SEEKER. Reid is awkward around... most people. But probably especially other Seekers. He's arrogant about his abilities, buuuut also keenly aware that he has a spotty record and people might be irritated by his return to being a Seeker.

AND CALVIN AND KENZIE DON'T SUPER MATTER. Kenzie likes her turt tho :C

She probably makes up random interests to tell Neil about and they get more ridiculous the linger they've been doing this. "I'm learning about how to write crosswords for blind dogs! You should check it out sometime."

Dahlia probably teared up a little at Diego's talent show act and thinks he's SUPER SWEET and wishes she could play guitar if she only had the focus for it.

SHE LOVES RAFAEL. She probably loved him before he started dating Leo, but if he loves her Leo then Donatello will need to call him Uncle Rafael as well.

I'm not sure how she'll interact with Reid. She might try to ~razz~ him some at their double practices or she might forget he doesn't just come into existence 10 minutes before a Quidditch game and then disappear 10 minutes afterwards.

hello hi clem loves her

i am coming down with a cold but i will... BE BACK FOR MY OTHER FIVE CHARS

AND SHE LOVES CLEM, she thinks she's hilarious and everyone is wonderful.

aww i love her already :'c where have you been this whole time dahlia ???

i actually think wilde probably genuinely gets along w her / likes her as a person
quidditch fam

laurel can be a dance frand??
also she feels dahlia re: capriciousness
they might be cute buddies

z could be a hobbies person?? for something? lol

I'm really excited to have someone who can talk to Wilde even if it's only for like 9 weeks, my life is nearing complete.

Cute dance friends with laurel yes!! They can be flighty flower names and goofs together I love it.

She thinks of z as a jack of all trades and wants to be just like that. Teach her things! Or learn things together! Or start to learn things together and then Dahlia wanders off like a stray cat!

HI FRAND

HELLO DEAR

Hit me with your best plot

Fire awaaaaay

OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU GETTING ANY SLEEP RIGHT NOW?

Tabs will be in classes with her, and Jo is a bb Ebonhide. That's all I got!

I function without sleep, I am a cyborg.

♡ SHE'LL TALK TO EVERYONE ANYWAYS (once I'm home which is in like 2 hours, my vacation is almost over :c)

HELLO i am v. very excited about this girl

ulysses is on her quidditch team and also you're in his sister's cabin. he also has a lot of feelings, but, conversely, is definitely afraid to feel any/all of them. might be a little afraid of her. but also is 2/5ths in love with his entire quidditch team, so maybe it's more like awe. sorry. you have to talk to him, probably. sometimes he hangs around the senior girls and it's embarrassing, please don't tell anyone, dahlia. also, he thinks yr turtle is cute.

anuhea is a supersenior and a quidditch. LEFTOVERS SQUAD. she likes dahlia's sense of style and she admires the way she's touch with herself or w/e. anu is into photography and photojournalism, which isn't exactly art, but they might have some interest overlap in terms of like, composition and shit. she's not very huggable, but yolo, hello friend.

mercy is another senior and is also a lot, they would probably spin each other up if put in a room together.

i also have two sophomores, shrug emoji.

uly is also one of dahlia's nephews because this is ebonfam and they won't be shamed out of their creepy family nicknames. she has definitely made him kiss his turtle cousin and that is a PRIVILEGE because donatello is finicky (dahlia is finicky, she doesn't want everyone coming along and getting her baby sick).

HEYO LEFTOVERS, THE KIDS THIS SCHOOL CAN APPARENTLY FUNCTION JUST FINE WITHOUT. photography is probably one of many things she has briefly been into and I imagine she at least sometimes still takes a bunch of pictures at games for reference for her senior project or just for reference in general. IDK YOU'RE GONNA BE FORCED TO TALK TO HER ANYWAY ONCE I START POSTING AROUND WITH HER DEAL WITH IT.

She loves mercy they can give everyone headaches together 👍

EBONFAM. EBONFAM. and oh gosh oh gosh "MADE HIM" kiss her turt. it's everything he's ever wanted!!! reptile smooches without having to give up his very thin veneer of not loving all the weird pets. also, fun fact, turtles carry salmonella.

i love the leftover squad so much already, honestly. they are all good kids and it's not their fault they were off being too WILDLY IMPASSIONED about other things to post on the journals, okay? i demand that they all be super tight, sorry. anuhea would be happy to teach her photo stuff, altho she was probably like "if you last 30 days with this, i'll give you my camera"

GOOD. mercy is delighted.

Cricket & Dahlia Cry Club 😭

I'm sure Cricket has taught her a hundred different useless crafting techniques by now.

And Dahlia is the recipient of a million lovingly made Quidditch signs that don't quite make sense "Catch That Quaffle, Dahlia! Wooo!"

This cabin singlehandedly keeps the tissues industry afloat. Kleenex is paying her GB tuition.

Dahlia always PROUDLY points out those signs to everyone and tells her that they give her the right amount of motivation to succeed. She took SO MUCH TIME to craft SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SIGN and now she CAN'T LET HER DOWN, you guys.

She also claims cricket's children (uly and casey) as her nephews so she's neck deep in this ebonfam nonsense.

I have such a strong memory of responding to this, but I never did

(Dahlia learning talents is me right now, you just gotta try three times as hard for 1/3 the time)

So Chris is in like three of her classes. They should have a weird friendship bc i want him to have a weird friendship with all of your characters

solomon adores dahlia and she gets to be a recipient of all of his illegitimate fears.

Olivia thinks she's a badass,

Teo is just ... you know. god.

I feel like I showed her to you before she was done and you just replied in your head then. I should have just read your mind.

(That is also me, I don't get why it doesn't work, is it because I only try 3x as hard for 1/8 the time and fizzle? THAT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR.)

SHE WILL HAVE A WEIRD FRIENDSHIP WITH CHRIS, OF COURSE. there will be lots of teasing, she loves to tease.

She wants to hug Solo. Come here little buddy I love you.

SHE ALSO THINKS OLLIE IS BADASS it's a fair trade

And teo fascinates her, tell her about the cosmos little friend.

(You're probably right tbh)

Chris could've tried to teach her Spanish and when she abandoned the hobby, he just randomly switches to Spanish in half their convos just to give her shit

Solomon loves dahlias hugs and feels so bad about the game

HI I am trash I'm sorry for taking so long to respond to this. Dolly is wonderful!

Takeru IS IN HER HOUSE AND IS AN EBONHIDE SENIOR and I will respond to you in HIS welcome post as soon as my brain works better.

Xavier digs the hugs and the feelings. He also likes to pick up random skills and discard them when they get boring/aren't useful, so maybe they can pick up and drop some rando hobbies together. Or have done so in the past. "Remember that time we tried to become competitive cup stackers?? Wild."

Dimi is ALSO A SENIOR. Dimi likes Dolly although her openness with her feelings is probably a bit overwhelming. They are in Gardening and a few classes together, I think?

Nia is a prefect and cheerleader in the year below you, Dolly. She thinks you are mad cute and will do a back handspring or a herkey for you at the game.

I stuffed Lucas in a trash can where he belongs.

Hi~ I'm gonna echo Jenny's thoughts bc I took forever to respond to this. Work leaves me with zero energy, unfortunately. :(

Jeremy is in the same year! He's not terribly impressed with Quidditch as a sport though, so he's not likely to feed into that craze or understand it. But they do have charms together (1 class omg lol)!

Wyatt is a baby soph. I honestly don't know if he would register on Dahlia's radar. But he probs knows her as one of dem cool Quidditch folk. He is also in Ebonhide, so they could potentially have seen each other y'know around in the cabins somehow. If she could have had that two week interest in music/guitars though, he would definitely not have minded teaching her a few simple chords and how to mash them up to play some really cool songs. ;)

AHHHhhh her face/expressions are so cute.

Irene says PLEASE NO HUGS. :| But she is fond of Dahlia, even though they are like... polar opposites... because Irene does not Feel Things, and even if she did she would never let those Feelings show on her face. I expect she finds Dolly's uncontrollable laughter/hysterical sobbing VERY ALARMING. :|

Etta will also be friends with her!! She v much appreciates your perfectly average-sized arms, Dolly.

Pippa and Coralee probably don't have much overlap, but I feel like Pippa would like her?
