Hi all! This is Alissa, who has Louis Weasley already, and I'm delighted to present to you a new character.

Bellona Rosetti is a seventh-year Hufflepuff. She's cold, standoffish, and sort of a bitch, honestly. But she's intensely clever (especially in things like Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, and History of Magic), and intensely ambitious, and also intensely loyal, once you've earned her loyalty. She's not into Quidditch, modern music, fashion, or anything like that. However, she does play the cello quite well. If that counts in her favor at all, I don't know, ha.

So! Backstories, plottings? Let me know! <3

Hmm...

Shin - since she and Shin share an interest in 3 subjects (Arithmancy, Ancient Runes and History), music and are academics, then perhaps they were friends up until this year when Shin's bisexuality came out? It could cause some interesting dynamics between them. :)

Meredith - umm... don't really have any ideas, at the moment I'd say they don't really know each other.

Oh, yes, that would be fascinating. It's definitely Bellona's style to dump friends once they do something she disagrees with, so I can totally see her doing that to Shin. (And I apologize in advance for that, eek. It may well be nasty. ;-) )

Bellona tends to have a distaste for the company of Gryffindors, ha. So, that sounds about right. In any case, she won't go out of her way to get to know Merry. Or anyone, really.

She and Pat probably got along until recently. Because Pat could befriend a lamp shade. Not to say that they were probably in any way close because I think that he would drive her absolutely batty but at least friendly.

Libby would try to be nice to her but I'm guessing that Bellona probably does have a whole lot of patience with the likes of Lib.

I'm not sure about Graham. He probably is indifferent to her unless she's said something to someone he cares about.

That makes sense. Bellona does make an effort to be friendly, especially to her fellow 'Puffs, since they have to live together and all. But since the whole thing with Shin came out, she will probably sort of cold-shoulder poor Pat. Because, what can I say, she's prejudiced. :-)

Bellona might be rather interested in some of Libby's experiments, from a theoretical perspective, anyway. But then again, she dislikes anything Muggle on principle, so her experiments on technology, not so much.

And... yeah, I don't think they'd really have much to say to one another. That's fine. :-)

James does not know her, she is not on his radar ... and if he did I do believe he would NOT like her.

Parry. There is a part of her that is a bit intimidated by what Bellona represents. In the same glasses. Arithmancy is SO her thing. And Par is quite ambitious too. But she can respect the inner bitch quite nicely. So I must go with ... frenemies? Because every girl who wants to make it to the top needs one or two ... or twenty of those :-)

Oh Jamessss. I believe it. It is safe to say that Bellona knows of James (how could she not? he is THE James Potter!) and strongly dislikes him. She says he is an arrogant spoiled prick. Although perhaps not in those precise words.

Frenemies! Wonderful. Bellona needs a rival or two. And she would certainly have respect for Parry because of her ambition and intelligence and serious-mindedness. Yes, this is good. :-)

James possibly would be offended if he actually knew who she WAS! LOL But it seems that she knows people he likes. Hurt one of his proteges, she did. And she's friends with Mischa?! James canNOT comprehend, because he thinks Mischa is all kinds of WONDERFUL. And apparently he know thinks that Bellona is more EVIL than a Slytherin! Yep. There. I said it. Even Alpha isn't more evil than a Slytherin and James hates his guts. So she's just gone from completely off his radar to being a disgusting, yet small, blimp on it that he ignores?

Excellent! I was thinking the same for Parry. I mean she IS supposed to have a bitchy side. Says so in the app! And she IS supposed to have a side where she'll do nearly anything to win, but I haven't had a chance to work on that. Bellona seems just the person. Frenemies! Yay! I'm so excited :-D Like, I'd like you, if you weren't a threat :-P
Oh and Parry likes Aston ... or at least she's SURE she does. She's finally has admitted to herself that she likes talking to him BEYOND arguing with him. So that should be interesting since Bellona and Aston will be buddies.

	Haha, wonderful. Bellona doesn't care if James thinks she's evil as long as he stays out of her way with the rest of the insufferably cocky Gryffs. ;-) Aw, Parry. Bellona is good friends with Aston, and she's probably got the jealousy thing going on if he starts spending more time with Parry. They're always in competition, these girls! It's good for them, though, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	aparkinson 2008-08-14 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm... I'm not sure, but I think she and Aston could be friends? If she can put up with him and his ways, I suppose. I think she's the sort of girl / friend he usually makes, even if she's in Hufflepuff. I don't know - what do you think? If you don't want anything, I guess acquaintances? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ciao_bellona 2008-08-15 11:26 am UTC (link)
	I can certainly see them as friends. Bellona appreciates the pureblood in Aston, and she feels that he is more worth spending time with than the great majority of Hogwarts, really. And, yeah, actually, they're quite alike. Wonderful. Also, she needs friends. :3 <3 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aparkinson 2008-08-16 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Great! He doesn't have many friends either ;) so he needs some as well! Okay friends? Good friends? Close friends? I don't care - pick one! ;D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ciao_bellona 2008-08-21 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	Good friends, I think. Bellona does nothing by halves; she either likes you or hates you and that's that. And oh, will she ever be jealous of Parry if she steals Aston away! :-) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andyfinn 2008-08-15 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know how Andy would know her otherwise, but I just had an idea. Andy had a girl who broke his heart in his third year, and Bellona had a boyfriend in her fourth year that she dumped? CURIOUS. It's up to you, of course. :) As for Abra, they're in the same house, but Abra prooobably wouldn't get along with her well. It depends on if she likes Jack or not. (Reply to this) (Thread)

2008-08-16 01:43 am UTC (link)

OH. Yes, I am up for this! Oooh, is she ever going to be cold to him! Wonderful. Actually, the only way that I can explain this (because, dear me, what's the attraction between them?) is that Bellona went through an experimental phase in which she tried to be nice. Because at that age, everyone really has a desire to just fit in, and even Bellona wasn't exempt from that.

But her phase would have been... shorter than most people's, lol. And yeah, she would certainly dump Andy like hotcakes once it was over. And probably she never spoke to him again. Lovely!

Yeah, Abra. Um. Bellona thinks cats are unsanitary and they shed all over her. She doesn't like Jack, and she thinks Abra's too immature for words. So, yeah, I sense a bit of dislike between them. :-)

Excellent. Andy's poor little heart was very broken, let me tell you. He was definitely fooled, and had no idea he was an experiment. He generally tends to avoid her at all costs, and, if she's walking towards him, he will run back where he came from and hide. :O

Haha, Abra would definitely think Bellona has one huge stick up her arse. And Jack, unsanitary? Disliiike. xD

	ciao_bellona 2008-08-21 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	Poor Andy! Bellona does her level best to pretend he doesn't exist and they've never so much as spoken. Perhaps these two could eventually be forced into a situation where they have to talk? idk, idk. Ha. The dislike is mutual, BELIEVE ME. :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

2008-08-16 10:18 am UTC (link)

hehe. OKAY!

Lydia has had classes with her, but she probably doesn't interact with her much otherwise, because of Bellona's attitude. Though, she'll try to be pleasant unless Bellona like...attacks her or one of her friends.

THEN! There's Mischa! Who is her dorm mate, which means they'll be together a lot. lol. But Mischa is like her polar opposite. I don't know how they would interact, because that would really depend on how Bellona had reacted to her in years past. Honestly, if Bellona treated Mischa nicely, Mischa would be friends with her, hands down. But if she pulled out that intimidation factor and scared her off, she probably went to hide on the opposite side of the dorm. So, I don't know! We could have them in a sort of unlikely friendship, from all of those years stuck together (they're bound to at least be semi-pleasant?) Or maybe something about Mischa offended Bellona...I dunno! Mischa would prefer if they were friends, but it's up to Bellona really.

2008-08-16 10:38 am UTC (link)

Yeah, I don't see Bellona liking Lydia. At all. But she generally keeps to herself, so probably there's not a huge amount of outright hostility between them. :-)

And oh, Mischa! I could definitely see them being supremely-unlikely friends. Possibly that first week of their first year, when Bellona was all upset over being placed into Hufflepuff, Mischa was the one to comfort her and make her feel a bit better about it? I know she's shy, but she's also very sweet, and it seems like a Mischa thing to do. ;-) And despite the fact that Mischa's muggleborn, she looks SO MUCH like Bellona's mother does (in my head...) and I really do think that Bellona would sort of latch onto her. But never admit it, of course. Mischa's attention to her studies would also really endear her to Bellona, who feels that the population of Hogwarts as a whole is far too frivolous.

Bellona is VERY loyal to her friends. I could totally see her getting into fights on Mischa's behalf... and, really, being rather jealous of Derry. So there might be some plot there? I don't know. I suppose we'll find out. :-)

hehe, okay! Works for me!

And this is going to be so much fun (when my internet decides to start working past NOON...*grumbles*) But, yeah! Mischa totally would have done that. She probably could have looked over her own shyness with a sort of "she's in here too, so you must have something in common" sort of drive as her reason for being able to get over her own inhibitions. I like this friendship, lol. Because Mischa would probably step up for Bellona, even though she's so meek. And she needs people to step up for her too.

Mischa would try not to make Bellona like a third wheel. She'd try not to be super couply around her and not talk about Derry alllllll the time. Bellona probably knew that she had a crush on him yearssss ago! lol.

	Aw, my internet is failing me, too :-(. It's very sad. Bellona is incredibly loyal to her friends - she'll definitely stand up for Mischa if she needs it. And she'll tolerate her talking about Derry, really, but not TOO much. ;-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

Woo Alissa! Bringing on a Puff, the Derry in me is so proud!

As for Derrick getting along with Bellona, I think, as long as she keeps from teasing him cruelly, they will have a friendly type relationship. Though I can't see it being anything too strong, especially if Bellona and Mischa don't get along.

Nunnally probably wouldn't know her much, except for odd run-ins around the school.

Ha! I like Puffs. They're nice kids. Except, um, Bellona. ;-)

Bellona probably has learned to accept Derry for Mischa's sake. She sees some of his good qualities, which helps. But yeah, they aren't likely to be the very best of friends. She's prone to jealousy over her friends, so if she thinks Derry's taking up too much of Mischa's time, she'll be peeved.

Sounds good to me! :-)

I'm terribly late to the backstory train and even more on the introduction wagon. Hello, I'm Lux! One of the modlies and I play Isaac Hawthorne, though I'm pretty sure you've gathered all that by now.

I never got around to poking you for BS for Louis back then, shame on me, we should do that now in addition to Bellona. I've been refraining from tackling most of Louis's posts since we haven't BS'd them yet and then I'd forget to go poking online. Anyways, same house and since he's already friends with most of his cousins, they need to have some sort of relationship!

Issy likes poking at smart girls, though her cold attitude might make him hesitate for friendship. But, Issy prides himself on being in the know and would have probably approached her at some point. What would happen would depend on her reactions.

Hi Lux! I know I've seen you around, but we haven't really talked, no. So yes, it's nice to meet you! :-)

Oh, sure, Louis. Hm. Well, as a fellow Gryff, he likes Isaac, of course! How could he not? :-) He looks up to him, definitely. Annd I don't know. Other stuff? ;-)

As for Bellona, hm. She doesn't like Gryffindors in general, and I can't see Issy being the exception. But she keeps to herself, in general, and she usually isn't openly spiteful and horrible, and if he caught her at a good moment maybe she has a slightly better opinion of him than of the rest? She does find his dedication to his younger sister admirable. :-)

Bellona seems way icy, and I think Haleigh respects that. They probably stay out of each other's way for the most part, but Haleigh would totally think of Bellona as an asset if they were teamed up for anything, and I think they share their mutual loathing for James Potter and disdain for most things Gryffindor. Haleigh might be a little nicer, but she knows that if she had her way, she'd be acting like Bellona all the time :-)

	Ha. Bellona, likewise, finds Haleigh worthy of her respect - at least more so than most of their peers. But yeah, I can't see them really being friends or anything. Good to know that Bellona has an ally, though! (Reply to this) (Parent)

hi Alissa :)

Lucy is in the same year and same house as Bellona, but I'm not convinced they're get on. Lucy is good friends with Libby and Abra, and wouldn't appreciate Bellona being mean to them. That said, she's also good friends with Mischa, so I'm sure she'd tolerate Bellona for her sake.

I'm thinking either they didn't get on for years but have now got over it, or they still dislike each other and have spats. What do you think?

Scorpius, well, I don't think him and Bellona would really seem much of each other tbh.

2008-08-21 02:58 pm UTC (link)

Bellona is definitely difficult to live with. So, yeah, I can definitely see them clashing a bit! Or more than a bit, ha. Mischa is probably the calming force between them; I have the feeling there would be a lot more drama if she weren't around.

And... yeah, Bellona probably knows of Scorpius. I mean, he's a Malfoy, and that certainly means something to her, pureblood that she is. But I can't think they'd really interact much.
