! intro, alison

Hey! So I've got Leah's little sister here, Rachel. Rachel is Hufflepuff class of '04, and as she was a July baby I think she's the youngest character here now. Rachel is a little contradiction - she's a sweetheart with a dark streak. (Hey, black is a Hufflepuff colour too, you know.) She's quiet and introverted and due to her age won't know a lot of people so... you may not even notice she's here :-P You can read more about her here. Rachel is in a long-term relationship with Evan's little brother Ethan, and when I say long-term - they've been together since she was 12, which some people find a little creepy. She works in a factory putting charms on toys, which isn't her long-term career plan but means she doesn't have to depend on anyone for money, which is important to her.

Let's plot!

Myron doesn't know who she is, but she knows who he is because she likes his music.

Luke vaguely knows her as Leah's little sister. Same for Lee, who has a working knowledge of the extended Weasley family.

Glenys doesn't know her as there was no overlap in school. Yakov and Valentina don't know her. Sally doesn't know her and doesn't know what the hell is up with those clothes. Mel doesn't know her. Dean would have overlapped in school except that he was busy being on the run, so he doesn't know her.

Lucy will know her vaguely because of overlap in school and being in the same house. She is kind of embarrassed around anyone who suffered at the hands of the IS so...

Alex recognises her not for who she is but because of how she looks - her style is kind of similar to his ex-gf Ellie. So he will be an ass.

Romilda knows her as Leah's kid sister who wears funny clothes and doesn't EVER talk. But she is interested in toys.

Jade will also know her as Leah's sister, but this is unlikely to be a friendly relationship due to Jade being in the IS in Rachel's first year, and how much Leah hates her.

Evan... yeah. He knows her. He says sorry. He will try and be nice because he feels bad and also because he is his brother's girlfriend, but it's likely she won't be too keen on him.

Hee, I have just posted Ethan's intro, unaware that you were doing the same here. Great minds. :)

Ethan adores her, but that goes without saying.

Leah is protective, which is unsurprising. She doesn't get some of Rachel's choices, but she loves her and is making an effort not to seem negative about said choices.

Greg hopes the whole IS thing doesn't go against him, especially since he never did anything to the little 'uns. And besides, Rachel is Gertie's former dormmate (and friend, hopefully?) which is always a plus in his books.

Jamie is a former housemate, and one that was hard to miss - after all, he was a returning muggleborn during her second year, and one with pent-up energy and a unique style. (Aaaand maybe the fact he messed with Evan's brain at that time also counted?) He'll be nice.

Samir and Zoe are fellow Hufflepuffs, but since they left Hogwarts before Rachel started, there's no school-time link there. However, they'll be nice.

Declan, on the other hand, was the IS member who focused on protecting the younger students (until he was kicked out, obviously), and later became a Head Boy with the same priority, so Rachel will remember him.

Luna will be Luna.

And the others won't have any school-age connection either, but I'm sure each will be friendly in their own particular way.

Indeed! Monday morning is the time for intro-posting.

Ethan - <3

Leah - Rachel loves Leah and is appreciative that she is protective but also wants to be treated like an adult now, so... she probably struggles with their relationship a bit.

Greg - yes, I think Rachel will like Greg because he is Gertie's big brother and Gertie clearly adores him.

Rachel likes Jamie well enough at a distance. He is a bit outgoing for her. She will feel similarly about Samir if he is friendly towards her. I think she'll like Zoe.

I think Rachel will like Declan even though he was IS initially. Maybe she could be one of the younger students he helped support when he was Headboy?

Hi Luna. Rachel doesn't get you, but people don't get her either, so that's okay.

Sadly, Leah is struggling with seeing Rachel as an adult, though she'll be the first to admit it's her failing. Some patience will be required from both sides.

Declan would have definitely looked after Rachel, and once they were all hiding in the RoR he would have rushed to see how she was. Gertie was part of the gaggle of kids following him around when he became Head Boy, so Rachel is welcome to have joined said gaggle.

	True, there's a bigger chance she's the one being followed... by a certain someone carrying flowers. :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

BESTIES!!!

Gertie is so pleased to have her around! Can we have a younger version of the delinquents (plus Gertie's other bestie Josie)? Gertie has been needing camaraderie desperately lately.

Rolf is probably the only one who is completely oblivious to Rachel's existence, but most of mine are only aware of her via their friendships with Leah or Evan.

Sean will always be nice, and probably looked after her some when she was younger, being a Hufflepuff prefect and everything.

Q probably watches her from afar because he's super nosey about Evan's life. And really, the lives of all of his friends.

Demz is friends with Leah, but no other connection.

Finally, Vic was (at the time) Gertie and Josie's foster sister, so almost definitely knew Rachel and Ethan. She also started fooling around with Evan the same year she and Ethan started dating, so maybe she paid a little more attention to the two of them than she would have otherwise.

Ha, I kind of assumed they were friends but weren't all that close because you always say Gertie's BFF is Josie. But sure, they can be a group. Rachel says it's a good thing the name Delinquents is taken because she would never be in a group called that. Maybe... The OOO (Odd Ones Out). Or something.

She likes Sean, but doesn't know why he is friendly with Evan.

Q is creepy as fuck. Evan is like dude, I am only minimally homophobic now, we could actually be friends, you don't have to stalk me like a crazy person.

Rachel will be friendly to Vic, though would be rather appalled to find out about the fooling around with Evan.
