Hello there everybody! My name is Katie, I am completely new up in this joint, and I come bearing a single character whose name is Gwendolyn Selwyn.
Gwen is the offspring of Pansy Parkinson and Peregrine Selwyn, but far from the perfect Pureblood young lady (a product of her mum's fit-throwing and her da's gentle indifference). She is 23, unaffiliated with the political groups, and pretty much more interested in Quidditch than anything you have to say to her: but that has more to do with her own social ineptitude than to do with you. She was Slytherin Quidditch Team Captain in her years at Hogwarts, and built up a bit of a reputation while there as a "scary girl" - mostly, she was intimidating and reserved and nobody knew much about her personal life, and that led to rumors going around about her being in the mafia or outswimming the giant squid when he dared challenge her. She ignored said rumors, but your characters may not have!?
A few things that aren't explicit in her application but you may want to know: her brother Garrett is only two years older than her and was something of a heartthrob/womanizer during his years at school, so if your character doesn't know Gwen, they may have known her brother in some capacity (ladies, we're looking at you.) Gwen's never dated anyone, at least publicly, but she is in dire need of at least one close friend (as close as Gwen gets, anyway), a handful of other friends or previous teammates, acquaintances, maybe an enemy or two? And if anyone wants to offer up their gentleman for a previous (failed or not failed) romantic entanglement with her, it should be loads of hilarity. Gwen isn't exactly smooth and she's more likely to glare at someone for holding the door for her than to thank them.
Nowadays, she's somewhat in the public eye (thanks to her position with the Harpies) but has taken absolutely no outward stance on the political issues at hand, despite shrill urging from her mother. On this point, she is as neutral as Switzerland. At least.. outwardly.
To sum up this extraordinarily TL;DR: Gwen Selwyn is a strong-but-silent Pureblood Slytherin tomboy, and I want your lines. I am sometimes extremely socially awkward, but I would really love to plot with any and all of you (throw any ideas you have at me!) so please comment here or ping me at musicians duet best whenever. I've also just joined the blast chat which is an entirely new experience for me, so feel free to throw things at me there as well. Look forward to hearing from you all!
