MAX IS HERE.
I'm here! I'm alive! So, I have five (five... Jesus) characters this time around.

First of all, this is Lisa Turpin. She's sort of like Kim Kardashian in that she's famous for being famous, and her first big break was a sex tape (if any of you have an idea of what to call the wizard equivalent of this, let me know). She's a socialite and a sex kitten, but her one true love is Astronomy. She'd like to eventually step out of the spot-light and use her star knowledge to do something meaningful, but the money is too good to quit just yet when she can finally give her mum the life she deserves. She also has some awkward family ties to the Vaisey family. Info here.

I also have Victoria Frobisher-Culpepper [info]flammae who is more emotionally damaged than she'd like to admit. Her history is long, complicated, and full of death so I won't go into in detail here. Until recently she was working as a field scientist, but ended up out of a job due to illness. She know makes a ridiculous amount of money at her mother's flower business. Vic is still very attracted to Alex Derrick, and takes out her frustration on Evan Vaisey (which Romilda must never ever know). Info here.

Quentin Baddock [info]kisslikejudas is a crook if ever there was one. He's a crooked business man who makes all his money selling drugs and using his seeing to guess the stock numbers. Due to the nature of his business (and the nature of his business partners) it behooves Quentin to be straight and lecherous. Many of his important meetings are held at The Golden Snatch, the work place of Evan, Sean, and Jasmine. He works closely with Bernice and Alex. Info here.

Demelza Robins [info]zoomzoomswish is totally. badass. She's aproximately the size and temperament of a miniature poodle, and can kick some serious arse on the quidditch field. She's a beater for the Falcons, and has the bruises to prove it. She's close friends with Miles, Leah, and Romilda. She's also looking forward to her first date with Dean, which will be happening shortly. Info here.

Sean Ackerly [info]whatwouldseando has always been a little bit of a loser. He's really friendly and funny, but he doesn't have a lot going for him otherwise. He makes most of his money as a bartender at the Golden Snatch, but has also been known to strip on ladies night. He also flits around Hogwarts as a toady for all the professors. Eventually, he'd like to be a professor himself. Sean is BroFFs with Dean, as well as friends with Wayne and Evan. He's still completely in love with Lucy, but that's not exactly getting him anywhere. Info here.

There you have it! Feel free to badger me with any questions you may have.
-Max

And *that* is precisely why the English language does not make sense. Too many influences.

Speaking as someone who had to endure Etymology in college, I think that is true of most languages out there.

The only language I've studied above GCSE is Sanskrit... which makes TOTAL SENSE ALWAYS. If you know how it's spelt, you know how it's pronounced. Trying to teach English as a foreign language in India... I just felt so bad for them trying to learn all the different ways you can pronounce letter combinations in English, because it is just not an issue in devanagari.

Oh yes, Sanskrit is praised by some of my old teachers as a perfect, pure language. I really want to learn it for the reasons you've stated. Most modern languages, on the other hand, have borrowed from each other heavily, some through the ages, and others in more modern times. I remember my whole class laughing themselves silly one day as my English Linguistics professor read aloud a list of English words and expressions adopted (and adapted) by the Japanese language in the last few decades - for instance, "guddarukka" (not sure about the spelling) meaning "good luck".

The alphabet comes in a TABLE because it makes so much sense. How cool is that?

Haha, it makes me wonder how we're mispronouncing deja vu.
