Intro
Hello all!

I'm Riley, and I'm bringing Katie Bell into the fray! You can read about her in her profile here, but I'll give you a quick run down.

-25
-Single
-She's a chaser for the Tornadoes, and lives and breaths quidditch.
-She's a regular at Wingbeat, especially on Thursday nights.
-Katie trains A LOT. She probably spends about 70% of her time training.
-She spends the other 30% drinking/picking up women.

I'm up for any and all plots you may have in mind. Katie needs friends, quidditch rivals, an ex-girlfriend, ex-flings, new flings, enemies, and whatever else you can think of to throw at her!

You can reach me on Katie's journal in the drop box, on AIM (toasterstigma), or email me at toasterstigma@gmail.com! I look forward to writing with all of you!

Hey, Riley, I'm Mercy. I have Zacharias Smith (this journal) and Orla Quirke (

quirkybeater).

Zacharias and she were in the DA together but how well they know each other or interacted, I don't know. He might remember her, but I'm always up for randomness be it plotting or throwing them together and seeing what happens!

Orla is a Beater for Montrose (previously Appleby) who may know Katie from Quidditch stuff! She's also available for plots, randomness, etc.!

Sorry this is short. I'm trying to keep things short and sweet to keep from getting all tl;dr :s Regardless, I'm up for plotting and discussing and rping!

Welcome to the game!

	Hey Mercy! I'm sure Katie remembers Zacharias at the very least. They probably interacted at some point during the war/their time at Hogwarts. I'm also down for randomness! As for Orla, I would be down for either friends/training buddies sometimes maybe? Or rivals? Maybe competitive friends? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hello, I'm Christie and I have three. Blaise Zabini likely knows who she is but doesn't really know her. Hermione of course knows her from being a fellow Gryffindor and the DA. Marietta knows her from classes and DA which make her steer clear. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hi Christie! Katie would definitely remember Hermione and Marietta. Although I think the feeling may be mutual between her and Marietta. Looking forward to writing with you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Terry here with Richard Summerby. Hufflepuff, '96.

He played chaser in the house team until he took over for Cedric as seeker. He may be big for a seeker, but he's also a maniac on a broom, an amateur racer with a high ranking on the international circuit. Katie probably played against him.

Pureblood, but progressive, he was with the Resistance during the war. His girlfriend, Anna, a Ravenclaw, died during the final battle at Hogwarts, where Rich also fought and worked as a battlefield healer.

Open to just about any backstory you'd like. Rich just recently was based in London again for work. He's a junior partner at International Exports and doing well. He's also an investor inthe resurrected Bluebottle Broom Company, which wI'll soon be selling to the public again, and is their chief test flier if you want to do something with that.

Welcome, look forward to writing with you.

	Hello Terry! I think that Katie definitely remembers playing against Rich in school. She's interested in the Bluebottle Broom Company for sure. Not sure in what way, but the name is intriguing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Welcome! I'm Jasmine and currently have two kids here.

Rolf is a Hufflepuff a few years below her, and a nice feiendly guy who currently runs his family's shop, The Bestiary. There for all your pet needs lol. She probably won't remember him but he's up for random.

Pandora would have been in her year except in Slytherin, and they would have competed in Quidditch. She was a hell of a Beater despite her size and the Beating side of things went down when she was shunted to the Reserves. She follows Quidditch so she'd know of her. But they also had classes together, and up til seventh year she was on the straight and narrow, relatively speaking, aiming for a career in law enforcement. She also socialised outside her house, so theres a chance they knew each other a bit? She ended up a DE to protect her family, and the rest is in her app. She's a Charms Mistress now. Might be fun to toss them together!

Look forward to playing with you! Hit me up anytime on AIM (gelseydutchwood) or email (awhisperinthewind at gmail dot com).

	Hey Jasmine! I would definitely be down for Katie and Pandora to be friends or at least be acquaintances from school. Just hit me up on AIM and we can figure it out! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hullo. I'm Jewels and I've got Luna Lovegood. I think they didn't interact much at school, but I'm sure that she likes Katie enough and rooted for her during Quidditch and things. She'll be super nice either way :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hi Jewels! Katie will be super friendly back! She definitely remembers Luna from the DA. (Reply to this) (Parent)

YAY! KATIE!!

Hi, Riley, I'm Kat, and yes, I may have a character's excitement about Katie showing right now. Aside from that, I have 4 characters here:

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, same year as Katie, owns and runs the pâtisserie in Monument Alley - Sweet Nothings - and sweet. She's so sweet and kind and love her customers. I'm sure she remembers Katie from school, with shared classes and having seen her on the Pitch, and though she's not a Quidditch fan, she likes to watch the matches or listen to them, simply for the atmosphere. She's dating Oliver Wood, so may be likely to meet Katie that way.

Rose Zeller (

_rose_) - Hufflepuff, 5 years after Katie, on her last year of Cursebreaker training with the team working out of Gringott's London branch. Rose is Rose, loves people but doesn't trust them, have been a major flirt, so maybe she's had a fling with Katie within the past 2 years (she's only 2 years out of Hogwarts)?

Finbar Quigley (

_finbar_) - Ravenclaw, 7 years ahead of Katie (he finished Hogwarts in 1990), Beater and Captain for Ballycastle Bats and the Irish National Team. He would definitely know Katie through Quidditch.

And finally:
Alicia Fawley, nee Spinnet (

_alicia_) - We should really talk about them, because I think both girls have things that the other would be very aware of. Even so, the quick run-down of Alicia would be: widowed, married Daniel Fawley in December 1997 (Katie would have been one of the few people present at that wedding) and he was killed (along with Ali's brother who was Beater for Pride of Portree) in late April 1998. She's the mother of twins Isla and Liam who were born in December 1998, and that led to her mother-in-law making her the co-founder of the Daniel Fawley Foundation. She's also part-time Healer for Pride of Portree (owned by her in-law family) and she's dating Adrian Pucey/at that point where they're figuring out how to make that public.

Like I said, we should talk, because I think there's still friendship between at least Alicia and Katie. I'm justatouchof on AIM and thecursebreaker@gmail.com on email and Google talk :)

	Hey Kat! I agree, there's definitely still a friendship between Alicia and Katie! I would be down to hash that out with you anytime! :) I would also be down for Rose to be one of Katie's flings! Hit me up on AIM anytime! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi Riley, welcome. I'm Caroline and I have two at the moment.

This is Charlie, he'll be familiar to her because a. he's a Weasley and b. he runs the club. I doubt they're close but he's a friendly guy (and asexual so no arsehole hitting on the lesbian issues), a bit sweary but cheerful. He likes regulars if they control themselves.

I also have Dean Thomas (

artistdean). He is an artist and works at the pub part time. He remembers her from the common room and DA, and took over from her when she was out after being cursed. I don't know that they'd be close but definitely friendly in my mind.

	Hello Caroline! Katie will definitely make sure to behave herself at the club, or at least try her hardest. I don't think she was ever that close with Dean, but she is extremely thankful he took over for her while she was out! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey Riley! Welcome to the game! I'm Jaime and I have 4 peeps here:

Ernie: Fellow DA member and Hufflepuff extraordinaire - he's a healer now and always up for dancing. He'll be hosting the dance nights at Finnigan's, and when work isn't exhausting him will probably be at the Thursday Wingbeat night. Am totes up for connections!

Percy: Used to be her prefect and of course a Weasley ;) A single father too who's friendly with Alicia - would be impressed by her career as he's a big quidditch fan.

Gemma: Is very pleased to see she's no longer the only lesbian in the game! She used to play quidditch in school, but only a couple of seasons before being banned for... 'unsportsmanlike conduct'. Now she's your local beautician/spa owner/black market seller/crup fight manager - no biggie ;) Am very up to tossing her with Katie to see how they get on!

Vikesh: Ravenclaw from Katie's year and also a quidditch player, now a pro for Ballycastle. Am definitely looking forward to them playing against one another!

Thanks!

I am super down for Katie and Ernie to be friends/drinking buddies! Percy might still intimidate her a bit, old habits die hard, but any friend of Alicia's is a friend of hers. I am also very up for tossing Gemma and Katie together! Katie would be very intrigued by her.

As fr Vikesh, Katie looks forward to playing against him!

Hit me up and we can plot some things! :)

Ernie: Excellent! If she doesn't already know how to dance, he'd totally drag her up to show her some basic merengue or cha-cha.

Percy: Is secretly pleased he has the ability to intimidate ;)

Gemma: Excellent! There's actually a bit of a plot in-game that will lead in exposing her crup-fighting ring, which will hopefully be a blast to play out! So friendly-type persons (because Gemma has yet to have a genuine, real friend - silly Slytherin) are going to be very welcome :D

Welcome, Riley! I'm Jinx, and I have two:

Marcus Flint was a Slytherin of '94 and I'm relatively sure they would at least remember one another from Quidditch at Hogwarts. He spent four years in Azkaban after his father blackmailed him into becoming a Death Eater, but he now plays Chaser for the Appleby Arrows, so they might also be familiar in that way. He also lives and breathes Quidditch, but no idea how they'd interact, to be quite honest.

Stacey Rivers (

pinkyink) was a Hufflepuff of the '99 variety, and now owns a tattoo parlor called Pinky's Ink in Monument Alley. She's hyperactive and super friendly, so although I don't know if she'd remember her from school she's more than happy to make friends now.

Hey, welcome to the game! Sorry this is a little delayed. I've been playing catch-up. I'm Kaylie, anyway, and I'll be adding Katie to the cast list today, I promise! As for my characters:

Seamus Finnigan (openbottle), obviously. Some wiki suggests he and Katie were friends (possibly even dating) but I think that's movie canon and as both he and Katie are gay it seems unlikely they were dating. I don't mind friends, though!

Dominic Chambers (knowhow) might know her a bit from around the pub. He's the resident handyman / charms expert. He's friendly, might have tried to hit on Katie but would have been perfectly okay with being turned down.

Lucy Spinks (addingvalue) is only just now coming back to the wizarding world so she probably wouldn't know who Katie is, but she's quite sporty and I think she'd be interested in Quidditch once someone takes her to a match.

Bryony Capper (goodlight) is an artist, Quidditch obsessed, will certainly know who Katie is and be both excited and very shy. Her quidditch obsession is a big secret.

Greg Goyle (goyle_g) might remember her as a Gryffindor quidditch player but probably has not much more interest than that.

	Hi Riley! I'm Dylan! I have three babies: Roger Davies, Susan Bones, and Dennis Creevey: Dennis I think would know Katie kind of through the DA and Gryffindor type things? Susan would know her through the DA too? Roger well he's a quidditch player so there's room for friendly rivalry or friendship? (Reply to this)
