Hey everyone, this is Jinx with my #2 - meet Stacey Rivers, a Muggleborn Hufflepuff of the '99 class. She owns a tattoo parlor in Monument Alley called Pinky's Ink and lives with Zacharias Smith. She has the energy level of a puppy on seven shots of espresso and she is not afraid to speak her mind on anything. Her full profile is here, and she needs friends, customers, fellow artists to talk, and just about anything else, although she is asexual and aromatic, so no relationship lines for her. I'm looking forward to getting her started with everyone!

	Zacharias is existed! And I needed an excuse to use this icon because I don't know that Zacharias would normally have reason for it, but I'm sure one day he might. >_> (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Stacey is very excited too, and she will help him find a reason to use that icon again ;) They need to hang out ASAP. PS - what are the kitties' names? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I want to say he'd be more creative than that, but I actually think this is him being a bit more creative and clever since he wasn't immersed in Muggle culture growing up lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's perfectly understandable, and I think it's an adorably perfect set of names :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

Looks excellent!

She seems to have been a year above Rolf in school, I believe, if my bleary-headed math is correct, though he didn't go back after the final battle/his fifth year. Since they were the same House, I'm sure there was some interaction, especially since they're both the friendly sort.

Pandora will be posted shortly, though I don't know that those two will know each other yet :P

She seems very interesting, I look forward to seeing what you do with her. I'm not sure I've ever seen a good portrayal of asexual and I'm not sure I've ever seen aromantic, so it is cool to see here!

Thank you :)

That math seems correct to me, and I agree that there would have been interactions, and Stacey would probably consider him a friend.

No, I don't think Stacey and Pandora will know each other yet, but we can always change that :)

I look forward to playing her, and I'm interested to see where things go. I'm glad (if maybe a little intimidated!) by the fact that you're interested too.

	Rolf is glad to have another friend. Yay! I look forward to them meeting. I think she'd be interested in a tattoo, but I doubt the magical sort yet. Too many bad memories. Oh please don't be intimidated by me! I especially know how a character says one thing and them changes their mind. But she intrigues me and I like her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinkyink 2014-09-23 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Yay indeed!! Stacey loves friends :) Understandable - she's more than willing to talk that over with Marcus, since he's going to get the Mark covered with a Muggle tattoo, and he understands where she's coming from with that whole thing. Thanks - I'm excited to see her in action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-23 01:52 am UTC (link)
	She likely will. I don't know that she's ready to cover the Mark yet or not but eventually she'll probably want to. She might get something else in the meantime. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

Heh, she looks fun!

Uhm, I don't think Alicia would know her (although she might be one of he customers to come), Melinda would probably only know her as a fellow shop owner... nnnnot so sure she'd be a customer, though. And Rose was 3 years after her at school, however she loves drawing as well as people, just like she either may become or already have been a customer of hers.

	pinkyink 2014-09-23 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Thanks! Future customers are always welcome, and she's more than happy to talk with another shop owner (I wouldn't recommend that Melinda give her any sugar. Stacey doesn't need it, though she would disagree), and she'd love to chat with Rose, customer or not. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hooray more people!

Dean probably wouldn't have known her much to start with and may well find her slightly alarming due to her energy levels but he does sort of want a tattoos, if only he could decide what. He's happy to talk art though, and depending how long the shop has been open he's probably picked up on the art thing and dithering about going in.

Charlie is pleased to see more asexuals, and more than likely wants more ink, and soon, possibly for one of his legs. He has zero drawing abilities though so may well want to talk strategy and design. He'll love her energy

Also, if you want to talk magical art theory about tattoos please let me know. I love that stuff.

Stacey's a big believer in the idea that if he isn't sure what he wants, he shouldn't get anything until he knows for certain, and she'd do her best to help him figure out what to get if he wants to go down that road. The tattoo parlor is about to celebrate its one year anniversary of being open, so they might have talked in that time, since she'd have been in the pub for quiz nights.

I actually think she'd really like Charlie, and the fellow asexual thing is a big deal for her, even he ever wanted to talk about it. And of course she'd love to talk about exactly what he wants and help make it a reality.

Yes, yes, yes. I might email you tomorrow about that, if I get time, cause I would love to bounce idea off you based off what you have for paintings and apply it to the tattoo aspect of things.

Also, is Hestia still around? Stacey would probably love her as well, if they ever got the chance to interact.

Yeah, that's why Dean's not been scouting around yet. He wants to be sure. And he's sometimes around or working for quiz nights so I'm sure they'll have talked at some point.

My instinct for Charlie was that he'd really like her, although they possibly haven't met yet since he's been either recovering or pretty busy since he got back.

Yay emails. I do technically have a theoretical tattoos thing like the painting one, but I didn't want to step on toes, and I'm far less attached to it. You can check it out here if you like.

Hestia's not mine and I can't remember who she belongs to off-hand.

	This all sounds wonderful to me. I'll take a look when I get a second (who knows when that will be, apparently the investors are in the office today :/ ). I knew that, and I'll ask you to forgive my momentarily sleep-addled brain lapse there. Sorry about that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dark_blaise 2014-09-23 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Blaise likely never paid her attention being a Hufflepuff and all. Hermione might remember her from prefect days. Marietta can completely share her lack of care for a relationship. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	marcedflint 2014-09-23 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	She pays no mind to people who ignore her, so she doesn't particularly care either. She'd probably recognize Hermione at least. And she appreciates Marietta's sentiment :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yaay Stacey. I don't think her shop has been open long enough for her to have been involved in the creation of Seamus's tattoo, but maybe she's admired it? He doesn't mind talking about it, though he might go a bit shy if she prodded for exactly what dates it activates on. He's more likely to answer with 'you know, my birthday, stuff like that' than the full list.

Dominic could also know her from Finnigan's or if she needed any help with building / customising / whatever the shop. He's in her year, too, I think.

Lucy would probably remember her a little, being that she's a puff one year younger.

Greg has no idea and doesn't care :-p

Bryony is probably about to become fascinated with the whole idea / process of tattoos, especially if Marcus gets one. She might come by and pester her with questions.

The shop's been open less than a year, so probably not, though I'm sure she's admired his ink if she's seen it. She'd definitely be fascinated by the enchantment, but if it's obviously something personal he doesn't want to discuss she'll be respectful of that since she's a big believer in the personal nature of tattoos.

Dominic definitely could have helped her build the shop, and she'd contact him for any help with building stuffs. They might have known each other in school as well.

She'd definitely remember Lucy, and would probably consider her a friend.

Stacey says she's awesome and Greg doesn't know what he's missing :p

Bryony is more than welcome to come pester her - she loves fellow artists, though I'm not sure how Bryony would react to Stacey's potty mouth?

	I'm pretty sure Justin would know Stacey :) He went back to do his 7th Year and would definitely have had classes with her so they would have definitely have crossed paths. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	marcedflint 2014-09-23 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely! She likes people in general, and fellow Puffs, so she'd think of them as friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Two of my kids really really really like her.

First: Romilda. She's a tattoo artist with awesome energy?! YES PLEASE. And Romi needs a friend other than Charlie who she isn't trying to sleep with (because Romilda will sleep with anyone hot enough, so Charlie and Stacey would both be good influences in her life ♥).

Second: Chris. He loves fellow Hufflepuffs, and he'd love making faces at her (sarcastically. Manically, even) when she's really excited about things.

Then Adrian, Cormac, and Cho. Honestly, I don't know that any of them would know her but I'd love for them to be friends! I can totally see Mac getting a bit too drunk some night and coming in for ink, because he's a bit of a bro :)

Romilda: Yes, friends and although Stacey won't have sex, she's more than willing to give out platonic snuggles if need be.

Chris: :p She's excited about most things, even if they're mundane. Otherwise life would be boring.

As for the rest, she likes friends, and we can always have random encounters, though if Mac shows up drunk for a tattoo she'll ask him to come back when he's sober, since her personal and shop rules don't allow for making those sorts of decisions while intoxicated in anyway.

	OMG they're killing me in journal form right now. WHY does he have to be such a dick?! And WHY does she have to asexual?! Because he sort of loves her, and I hope she knows it's all in good fun (well, mostly). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I love the magical ink idea! Now for my peeps

Ernie: Used to be Stacey's prefect, maybe he could have tutored her at some point if you're up for it? If not, he'd always have a soft spot for all the younger Puffs he knew :D

Percy: Likely hasn't met her, but I'd love to see his face if they met - he's a little too straight laced for his own good!

Gemma: Would definitely know her and has gotten tattoos from her - definite connection!

Vee: I think might be interested in getting a tattoo ;)

Thanks!

Ernie: I'm definitely liking the tutoring idea - she's always been more play than word, so I imagine she needed some 'guidance' in getting schoolwork done.

Percy: Oh, this could be fun. Maybe she could run into them somewhere and his daughter could start asking about her tattoos? She's got a lot of 'drawings in her skin' as my five year old nephew likes to say, which might be a conversation starter?

Gemma: Favorite customer? And she might stop by the salon on occasion, especially if she gets the urge to dye her hair a ridiculous color again ;)

Vee: He knows he does lol. And she takes his yoga classes, so I would think they'd know one another, and Stacey's willing to consider most people she interacts well with on a usual basis friends, so she's probably count him among those.

ERnie: It looks like she's already on her way of returning the favour with some tutoring of her own lol.

Percy: I love that idea! Must happen :D

Gemma: Am def. up for favourite customer status, and she'd be more than happy to suggest new colours or effects (because magic = shifting colours, patterns, sparkles, etc)

Vee: Excellent! Vee would be glad to teach and will def. get that tattoo... as soon as I can figure out what to get him (which is almost as bad as when I tried to figure out what to get myself)

	Ernie: Haha, very true! Percy: XD then happen it shall! Gemma: Ooh Stacey likes all of those things lol. She might have to try them all ;) Vee: Awesome :) and yes, choosing tattoos can be very difficult. I'm more than happy to help if you ever want someone to bounce ideas off of. (Reply to this) (Parent)
