Kaaaat! Hi hi hi! I'm so glad you're here. This is Robyn, finally. Okay, so I have... 5 characters now!
Andromeda Black - Disowned end of January, opened a pub with Ted Tonks recently. Bit of a bitch, but heart of gold? Sort of. She is in a lot of harm's way because she has a lot of enemies... She is not (yet?) in the Order, but the bar is also a safehouse, so she might get there. Right now, she is still trying to figure her post-disownment life out. -- Benjy might be called on to attend to fights or general ruckus at The Rebel and The Hooligan? Also, they're close in age, and Andy had a reputation for being weird and confrontational and anti-purism even in school, so Benjy might have heard of her? -- Aberforth I feel like might... like her, despite her rough edges? She's not really his competition because The Rebel and the Hooligan is a bar that opens from like 9pm-4am, so the majority of their time is post-pub hours? Anyway, I feel like there could be some interesting potential here for these two. I don't know why exactly, no particular ideas. But I like Abe already so plots ahoy!
Fabian Prewett - Fay! He's been back in the UK for a few months now and is seeing Anton right now (suspects-sort-of but doesn't know that Anton is on the other side of the war). Personality wise, he is still the same sort of messed up guy you know! But less baggage. Also, he is doing private warding right now because Gid is off Auroring with stupid Frank Longbottom. Fay is in the Order and will also take some twisty missions as needed. -- Benjy and Fay are in the Order together. If you want backstory for them, they could have slept together once or twice? Fay only ever did casual other than his first guy and his current guy, but he had a loooot of casual sex, so. Friendly? Fay desperately needs guy friends, and if Benjy and Gid are close, I feel like Fay and Benjy should be too? Plus, you know I love your Benjy, OBVS. -- Fay would like the Hog's Head too, so he'd know Abe from the Order and from the Bar. Sometimes Fay gets into fights and things, so maybe Abe's had some trouble with him in the past? He'd still think Abe was pretty awesome.
Frank Longbottom - Frank is all serious fitness and justice nut, and he's 28, and a bad ass famous Auror, and son of Augusta, nephew of Alastor Moody. Frank's Auror partner was KIA a couple of years ago, so he took a break from active duty to train the auror trainees, but he's very recently back at it now and roped Gideon into being his temporary partner. He's dating Alice right now, who is like ten years younger than him and he was/is her boss/superior. And Frank's in the Order too. -- Benjy would know of Frank's badass rep from around the DMLE, and Frank is still a big name in the DMLE. I could see Frank thinking Benjy was too reckless, etc, so maybe they snip a bit? But I think underneath that, Frank would respect Benjy, and they're in the Order together, so. Any thoughts? -- Frank respects Albus, but also isn't shy to disagree with him. Not sure what he'd think of Abe, honestly...
Mary MacDonald - Mary is a muggleborn photographer, ex-Gryffindor, MWPP age, little weird tortured soul girl who is currently hiding from pretty much everyone because Peter got all dark magicked recently and said really mean things. She's pretty quiet mostly, and doesn't like to be touched. Um, she is in the Order and is trying to get pictures of all the DEs at every attack so, masks or not, they can get an idea of how many there are and who they might be. -- Benjy and Mary are in the Order together, but I'm not sure what he'd think of her? But she needs plots, so. -- Abe would have seen her at Order meetings, but she is attached to her camera for sure and hides behind it. So not sure what he'd think of her either.
