T'is Kat, and though I know we've talked a little on chat, I'll just give the run-down of my peeps here... alphabetically, I think.
Alicia (this journal) - formerly Spinnet, now Fawley and widowed, Gryffindor, 7 years ahead of Romeo, so she would have left the summer he started. She's part-time Healer for Pride of Portree, co-founder of the Daniel Fawley Foundation, and full-time parent to wins Isla and Liam who will be 6 in December. Like Romeo, she's half-blood (Mother is Muggle, father is Muggleborn). She's kind, big believer in equal opportunities, and always ready for a chat about anything or a band-aid on the scrape (whether it be an actual band-aid, Healing or proverbial).
Finbar Quigley (_finbar_) - Ravenclaw... several years older than Romeo (I think 12 or so), Beater and Captain for Ballycastle Bats and the Irish National Team. Finbar's a flirt, he may be heterosexual but that doesn't mean that he won't flirt with just about anyone. He's also just recently moved to London to get away from his ex-wife (they're separated and waiting until he can file for an actual divorce) after she burned his house down.
Melinda Bobbin (_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, 6 years ahead of Romeo, owns and runs Sweet Nothings; the pâtisserie in Monument Alley. Melinda is sweet, as in honey sweet. Kind and levelheaded (which is really annoying when you need her to be upset, fyi ;) ). She's recently (as in just last Friday) been in the press, suspected of giving Oliver Wood Amortentia (she didn't) and am hoping to get all that put behind her.
Finally,
Rose Zeller (_rose_) - Hufflepuff, 1 year ahead of Romeo, and... she's Rose. Rose is bilingual, too (her mother is Romanian), she haven't responded to her parents' attempts at communication since her 14th birthday for several reasons, she's in her last year of Cursebreaker training, with the team of Cursebreakers working out of Gringott's London branch. She doesn't have a shy bone in her body, except when it comes to he wits, shares a flat with Dennis and is deadly scared of dogs (which makes dating Rolf... interesting). Oh, and uhm... "A rose by any other name..."? Yeah, she's heard that one too quite a few times, so Romeo has her sympathies.
