! intro, x erin

Hi duckies! This is Erin, and I bring you Kelleigh Bundy. She's 26, Hufflepuff class of 1997, Muggleborn. She grew up in the system, but her foster parents adopted her when she was 14. Shortly after her class left school, Kelleigh went into hiding because she refused to register. She thought that was shite, and she ran and hid rather than get her family in trouble. She returned once Kingsley became MoM and secured a spot on the Kenmare Kestrel's roster. She's been a starting chaser with them for five years.

Kelleigh is very outgoing, a realist guided by optimism. She's sweet, loyal, feisty, and she doesn't take anyone's shit. She does not suffer idiots (or those she sees as idiots).

She's close with Cormac and spoils his kid(s). She needs other friends, one or two ex-boyfriends from school. All the things!

ERIIIIIN! It's Patricia here! I'm so excited to see Kelleigh in game - probably just as excited as Cormac.

Anyway, my insane amount of kidlets. You've seen my character roster already, but for reference they're here.

Miles: In this game he was a year above Kelleigh at school, but she'd have probably still be familiar with him at school thanks to Quidditch. Being the second smallest player in the Slytherin team (the smallest being Draco, of course) helps to make people notice you, after all. His being surrounded by purist idiots probably ruins his chances as a potential ex-boyfriend for Kelleigh, but he'll still be friendly in that special Milesian way. He shares a cottage with Jade Dorny and a certain garden gnome we all know and love.

Leah: She was probably too young for Kelleigh to notice her at school, but she'll be nice.

Tiago: He was part of the Beauxbatons delegation and was two years above Kelleigh, so he probably didn't notice her. He's charming to everybody, though, so she'll be no exception.

Hamish: Was a year above Kelleigh but, again, she'll know him from Quidditch. He was one of two identical twins who played for different houses and used different surnames, which I think helped him stand out a bit. She will still know professionally now since, like Cormac and Miles, he's still playing professionally (apparently I have a thing about playing Keepers which took me ages to realize). He'll be friendly but sadly doesn't work as an ex-boyfriend because he never really had an actual girlfriend - instead he's got a female best friend of the "oh just kiss already!" variety.

Greg: Greg is Greg. He's just as adorable as he is in FTS, and although a few years older he's just as naive as he's always been - a surprising feat given that he works as a bouncer in a strip club.

Jamie: Fellow Hufflepuff, though three years younger. Another muggleborn, though one who suffered a different fate during the war. He'll be friendly and might even give Kelleigh a discount if she ever goes to his shop.

Samir: Another muggleborn Hufflepuff, again a year above Kelleigh, so she'll know him. Like her, he went abroad during the war, and has stayed there. He'll be very EXCITED to see Kelleigh around, so beware of excessive capitalization.

Luna: She hasn't met Rolf yet, and the idea of romance for herself hasn't even crossed her mind, though she gets very happy when it happens to someone she knows. Sadly Dean is now mad at her for that very reason, but hopefully they'll patch things up soon. She'll be nice to Kelleigh because she always is.

Cormac: Cormac will still say stupid things from time to time, and will still have moments of immaturity/bloated ego, but he's grown quite a lot since his first year at Hogwarts. Of course, Allegra keeps him in line, and fatherhood has given him a different insight. Kelleigh is free to claim some responsibility in this, though. :P She'll see him grumble occasionally because she's playing for the wrong team because she should be in the Bats with him.

Declan: Cormac might have grown up, but not as much as Declan. He's miles away from the arrogant little purist git he was as a kid, and is now very pleased with the quiet life of a stay-at-home dad - well, quiet is a relative term given that he breeds flying horses and zebras, manages both Cormac and Barney (Kelleigh too, perhaps?) and writes articles for the Prophet, but he manages to do all that in the comfort of his home. Baby Daisy is six months old already, and he's loving the experience. Kelleigh is welcome to come and visit anytime she wants.

Zoe: She and Kelleigh still shared a dorm in this game, and Zoe managed to take her mothering further on by becoming a prefect. They remained close after Hogwarts, perhaps? She's currently under the effect of a love potion (given to her by Jade Dorny), so Kelleigh might have realized she's not behaving like herself.

Kelleigh thought he was a bit of a prat at school, but she was also vaguely amused by Miles from time to time. She's down for competition, though..

Nice to Leah

She'll call him on being charming, because that's what she does. It's not flirtatious all the time, though.

AWWWW! She and Hamish could be friends, maybe?

Greg is adorbs, and Kelly will tell him that, even though she thought he was a bit mindless at school for following Draco... He might see her at the strip club if she goes with teammates (she doesn't like lady bits, but she can appreciate beauty where it exists).

Kelleigh would have been a little mother-hen with Jamie to make sure he didn't get into too much trouble (though some trouble is good).

Samir: THEY ARE DEFINITELY FRIENDS!

Luna: Kelleigh will be nice back

BESTIE!!! They're stuck with each other, and she dotes on his bb.

Declan is also stuck with Kelleigh. She basically claimed the Maclaggans.

ZOE! They are also besties, and she will ask her, very soon, when she started fancying women, and why didn't she tell her!!!

Miles is proud to say he's still a prat because he feels he's got a reputation to maintain. That, and people keep telling him he's not so bad after all and/or that he's mellowed. He's all for a healthy dose of competition.

It's definitely not flirtatious all the time. Tiago is a natural born charmer and flirt, but most of the time he's just being friendly. Truth be said, he only had eyes for Valentina, though he's waiting for her to take the initiative.

They can definitely be friends. And FYI, Julie's Cassius is Hamish's identical twin. Because we had both played these characters in the past using the same PB, we started joking about them probably being long-lost twins, and this whole plot was born. XD

The strip club has Ladies' Night with male strippers if Kelleigh ever decides to appreciate a different sort of beauty. ;) Greg will be at the door anyway and will say hi.

With Romilda as his BFF, I think trouble would have been inevitable for Jamie in spite of Kelleigh's best efforts. Still, he appreciates her being all mother-hen and only hopes that doesn't include fattening him up like his mother does.

Samir says YAY!

Both McLaggens are perfectly okay about being claimed by her.

Zoe has been very vocal about her relationship with Jade ever since it happened as the potion has made her slightly obsessive (as love potions do) but she'll be happy to answer any question Kelleigh might have. I doubt she'll be able to be objective, though.

	Kelleigh says that there are better things to be. He should aspire to one of those. Awww! LOL! Good to know! Greg is welcome to comment on her being there. She has little shame. Kelleigh did her best (also, she and Romilda are friends/friendly, so it's all good)! YAYAYAY!!! They are stuck. Kelleigh, then, will be more vocal about her concern.

Miles says he aspires to a lot of stuff.

And I'm sure it will amuse you to know that Hamish and Cass' baby sister Lorna (who makes occasional appearances in the game, as she likes to embellish Hamish's journal with pretty pictures) is PBed by an itty bitty Taylor Momsen, because Julie and I are so silly we had to use Gossip Girl actors for the whole Warrington-Fraser family.

Greg avoids asking people that. As long as nobody is mean to the girls he tries not to pry.

ERIIIIIIIN! YAY! Julie here and whee excited to see Kelleigh in game!

I have 7 kidlets here. I did my best with their little blurbs but feel free to ask questions because um... I still haven't put up proper bios for many of them, even though I know their history and stuff.

Allegra: Still some of the bossy girl she used to be, but she's considerably mellowed in the years since Hogwarts; but then motherhood (and keeping an eye on Cormac) will do that to you. I think they'd be friendly enough, a) because of her friendship with Cormac, and b) she was always that bit closer to Hufflepuffs because of her cousin, Cedric (who was a good influence on her).

Cassius: A Slytherin a year above her... though in this game Kelleigh would most likely just remember him as being Head Boy in her 6th year. At Hogwarts Quidditch was his thing, but after school he ended up becoming a Healer... although his training had been interrupted during the war when the whole family ended up hiding abroad. So it wasn't actually until 2003 that he officially finished his normal Healer training and his specialised training in Spell Damages.

Kenneth: The poor Gryffindor soul who ended up with bulbadox powder. Long way since Hogwarts, but is still shy around girls though much better than he used to be than he used to be thanks in small part to Mel (Malala Pennyfeather, though Demelza in a former game). He works for Zoe at Flourish and Blott's and becoming more worried about her weird behaviour, but hasn't said anything yet.

Peter: Muggleborn Gryffindor who's the best mate of Patricia's Jamie - though things have been strained of late because of stupid plot - not helped by the fact they share living space and their work. Also has a younger sister, Kelly, who ends up being the infamous Kelly Jones of the modern St Trinian's films.

Rémy: Part of the Beauxbatons delegation - so he's a couple years above Kelleigh. His bestie is Valentina Moretti. He's a musician who's about to go on tour again soon; which he's kind of bummed about since it means not getting to see Samir as often.

Sage: A fellow Hufflepuff, though a couple years younger. Sage was a bit more fortunate in being a Halfblood, so although she more or less escaped persecution but was still around Hogwarts during the battle. Hasn't made a career for herself yet and has mostly been surviving by doing odd jobs (mostly waitressing). Much like Sally she's also had to suffer the joys of having hippy parents; wich is how she's had 3 sisters named Parsley, Rosemary and Thyme.

Su: A Ravenclaw in the year below Kelleigh. She's known Cormac and Declan basically from when they were all in diapers more or less; though she's only indirectly related to them. She's been working with the Committee on Experimental Charms for a while now. Although since her marriage to Declan, an explosion that happened at the ministry, and the subsequent birth of her daughter are causing her to rethink that particular career and look at moving into a job that's considerably safer.

	facepalm Forgot to mention for Allegra that she's mother to Cormac jr, though affectionately known as Little Cormac and is currently pregnant with her's and Cormac's second child; though no marriage yet. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I knew about Allegra's connection to Cormac, and because he is one of Kelleigh's besties, she is very friendly with Allie and spoils the bb (soon to be bbs).

Hmm...we'll have to see how Cassius and Kelleigh play out, because idk what she thinks about him right now.

Kenny and Kelleigh should talk.

Friends with Peter?

IDk about Remy, either...

Kelleigh will be friendly with Sage.

Kelleigh is friends with Delcan, so she knows Su, and will behave towards her the way she does Allegra.

Yay Erin! I'm so excited you're here. I play a grand total of fourteen characters because I am clearly crazy. Sally you know, Mel you know, Luke you know, and Glenys should look familiar as she is my modern day Helga (I referred to it at the time as 'doing a Saeunn').

You can see my intros to each character here, here and here (ignore Wayne, and Bern is now known as Jade). As for their relationship with Kelleigh:

sweet_glenys
Glenys - will love her. Glenys was a super-friendly prefect and headgirl so she basically knows everyone younger than she is, but the Hufflepuffs especially.

wrongfandom
Luke is in another year so won't have as much cause to know her as he is not terribly gregarious, however he is friendly with Zoe so it's feasible he could be with Kelleigh too.

affableslob
Yakov probably won't particularly know her but he talks to everybody if they mention food, so...

fiaba
Valentina is super shy and unlikely to talk to her at all.

doooooitttttttt
Lee will know her! He loves Quidditch players, especially female ones. He's friendly with quite a few. He and Cormac have a... mocking-each-other relationship and there may also be some affection there, maybe.

barneysakeeperBarney loves Kelleigh and is super excited to have another friend! They play on different teams but Barney is not one to let rivalries get in the way of anything. Barney is friendly with Allegra but Cormac hates him because Barney took Allegra to the Yule ball and ever since Cormac has been jealous (even though Cormac took Mel and got some good groping in).

missalwaysright
Sally - some butting of heads, as discussed already. They don't have a lot in common, although Sally would be sympathetic if she learned about Kelleigh's parents because hers aren't so responsible either.

bread_and_roses
Mel and Kelleigh seem to have quite a mixed relationship at YA so far, so I don't know which way that will go. At the very least they will know each other through Cormac because Mel is good friends with both Cormac and Allegra.

banksywannabe
Dean doesn't have much reason to know her but I think they would get on well. Dean is pretty easy-going, except when he isn't (see for example his recent fight with Luna). Dean used to support the Kestrals because they were Seamus' favourite team, but he kind of has to support the Falcons now because his girlfriend plays for them (though not for much longer).

notaspure
Lucy is a Hufflepuff but I suspect Kelleigh won't like her much as she was quite active in the IS days because she ate up all the bullshit her Death Eater dad fed her. She is reformed now but she's still kind of manipulative and a tad saccharine at times. She'll be nice, though.

derailed
Alex was another IS member and he's an asshole, so I imagine she won't like him. Very few people do.

jadedjade
Jade is another IS member but she used to be a nice person. The power of torture kind of warped her head a bit and she's been rather lost ever since. She has some friends, amongst them Zoe who is now her girlfriend. Mel suspects love potion, and she's right. Kelleigh can talk to Mel about it maybe?

notascreepy
Evan is actually a nice guy now but he used to be a lecherous fuck, so how she feels about him will depend on how willing she is to accept and believe this change. He will at some point have hit on her so she'll know him at least vaguely.

clowningaround
Romilda is also adopted and has been thorough the care system so they may have talked about that or even have connections there (it's crazy how many foster carers know each other, like a little club).

Aaaaand I think that's it.

Friends with Glenys!

We'll see what happens with Yakov (Kelleigh does like food!)

Kelleigh makes it hard not to talk to her, so she'll talk to Valentina, but she'll try not to make her feel uncomfortable!

Kelleigh might have a thing for his voice, but don't tell him that! They are definitely friends, and she might flirt a little. (unless he is otherwise attached, then she's not going to do anything of the sort).

BARNEY! They are friends, no matter what teams they play for.

Ugh. Sally...

There is definitely some grudging respect there, but Kelleigh thinks Mel needs to learn how to choose her battles. I don't think that opinion has changed much over time. I think they'll get along, but they'll definitely butt heads.

Friendly with Dean.

Yeeeah...Kelleigh says that's not cool, Lucy.

She might like fighting with him?

Bitch, da fuq are you doing to Kelleigh's friend? NOT COOL AND YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT!!!!!!

LOL! She wants to know if he has a picture of her boobs... IDK. She might either want to punch him through a wall or find him vaguely funny.

Kelleigh was in the Irish system, not the British system, so I don't think they'd actually know each other through that. She also didn't really talk about it a lot. There might have been a passing comment at one point, but she didn't like going into it (so many commitment issues because of it). But...I think they'd get on well enough now. (on a more personal, player note: P{LEASE REDEEM ROMILDA FOR ME!)

You forgot to mention Luke :-P

Lee's voice? He is happy about that. His sexual attraction is based in a large part on Quidditch ability (don't say a WORD Cormac, he means with girls), so Quidditch players flirting with him makes him happy. He is mopey about Demelza right now as they are flatmates and he has been crushing on her but now she has given up Quidditch and... he is confused about what that does to his feelings.

Mel is all about ALL OF THE BATTLES ALL OF THEM.

Lucy - I see up there that Kelleigh is going to be Jamie's mother hen, so you should probably know that Lucy and Jamie used to date back in school when Lucy was trying to clean up her image (she wasn't *just* dating him because he was a muggle-born, but it helped). Jamie split up with her when he found out she'd not been honest about her past (secret relationships with boys not pure enough) and they have been a bit awkward ever since. BUT eventually they are going to wind up together again soooo Kelleigh may have Opinions on that.

Jade says in her defence she is Zoe's friend too :-S

Evan is not leery anymore, he is just lonely and a bit pathetic.

Romilda - good point, I didn't think about the Irish angle.
Re: redeeming, I am not sure but I think you mean because of a certain Romilda we have both played against who was not the greatest? If so, well, I think you will like Romilda. She is one of my most popular characters with other people and I enjoy playing her a lot. I just realised I didn't put much on her original intro so... at school she was kind of a silly girl who fangirled over Harry Potter. She was kind of brash and a little irritating, and although she has mellowed a bit she still is kind of like a mischievous child.

Dammit! I counted and thought I had them all. LUKE IS ADORABLE AND KELLEIGH WILL MAKE HIM TALK TO HER!

Yes, his voice. His commentary was one of her favorite things about quidditch at school. And---she's being watched to be on the next Irish National Team...so...Aww. Lee. Kelleigh will help you explore those feelings?

Kelleigh: YOU CAN'T FIGHT EVERYTHING!

She says that sort of thing is not her place (unless it's out of left field *coughZoecough*, but she'll try to take Lucy's measure subtly.

Kelleigh: YOU DO NOT GIVE YOUR FRIENDS LOVE POTIONS!

Aww! And Jay Baruchel's face, which is a weakness for me. We'll see how they do. She might take pity on him.

Re: redeeming - that is exactly what I mean! Brash and irritating?! Dude. Yes. She and Kelleigh should be friends!

	Jay Baruchel is adorable. I am enjoying watching his new show. Romilda is close friends with Jamie and Peter (she, Jamie, Peter and Victoria Frobisher call themselves 'The Delinquents') so Kelleigh can easily know Romilda via Jamie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hi Erin! I'm Max and I have four.

This one is Demelza (Demz) Robins. She's a crazy workaholic who mostly cares about three things: sports, pizza, and Dean Thomas. She was the beater for the Falcons but recently chose to resign rather than be demoted to second string. She just didn't have the weight to put behind her swing. I can see her being friendly-ish to Kelleigh now that they're no longer on opposing teams, but Demz might still engage in a little friendly rivalry. She lives with Lee Jordan and her BFF is Miles (sorry, Romilda). She has a pin board for her closet because I am a pinterest ADDICT.

I also have Victoria Culpepper (previously Frobisher) at

flammae. She's got a really convoluted history. She and Kelleigh would almost certainly know each other because he handled adoption of magical children in the Ministry. That is, before he went into early retirement to follow his dream of becoming a one-man orphanage. Vic was adopted by her parents when she was fifteen.
Because her history was completely unknown (partly because she was hit by an ill advised memory charm in her youth) she had no idea what her bloodline was. She also refused to register and spent almost a year in Azkaban. It was a major bummer.
As an adult she discovered her bio family was actually an old pureblood line (Culpepper) but they all accidentally died, except for her mother who abandoned her. Nice.
Now days she's a spoiled shoe fanatic who enjoys a privileged life of nepotism in a big old family house. She's just a few weeks from fleeing her comfortable life to join a naturalist team in the Andes.

Sean Ackerly

whatwouldseando is also a hufflepuff! He's another workaholic. He's a stripper/bartender/junior librarian/student teacher. His life is ridiculous. Luckily, the Doctor Who reboot is about to start, which mean he literally HAS to have fun. He's got a hopeless crush on Barney Dunstan (oh my god that body), as well as Mel Pennyfeather (oh my god that brain).

Lastly I have Quentin Baddock

kisslikejudas. He's an evil genius and he totally knows it. He's a slytherin and his best friends are Alex Derrick and Jade Dorny. He lives with Yakov in the most ridiculous home on the planet.

I can see Kelleigh and Demz being friendly, and any ribbing re: Quidditch would be good-natured.

Kelleigh was in the Muggle system in Ireland. It's in her history that it was handled by a woman case worker who knew of foster parents with a magical son, so I think they'd only from school (what year was she?) or around.

SEAN SHOULD BE KELLEIGH'S FRIEND!

Kelleigh thinks Quentin is nommy, but might not like him.
