So, I told you guys that you wouldn't have to read another intro post from me but, um, I lied? I really wanted a Hufflepuff, okay?! And and and, Anna Kendrick! And also to have a character whose name doesn't start or end in a vowel (let's not discuss her full name), (seriously though, Stella, Amelia, Ava, Elena, Elodie...)!

And I need to get on topic because Nat and I are sitting in the same room having a race to see who can introduce their character first so we can go explore dinner options. So! This is Guinevere Bronwyn Montgomery, but you may call her Gwen. In fact, you must call her Gwen unless you're the foolish (but beloved) parents who named her Guinevere. She's H6. And here are some factoids about her:
• Gwen is really Welsh. Like, really. Her parents actually met at a Welsh-speaking primary school before either of them discovered they had magical powers. She also attended a Welsh-speaking primary school before coming to Hogwarts. She's from Cardiff.

• She's a Montgomery sister, but not one of the Montgomery sisters. The crying pair will be her younger sisters, current third years, who sport the unfortunate monikers of Tristan and Isolde. Tristan is a Hufflepuff like her big sister. Isolde is a Gryffindor. Given the current school environment that's... interesting.

• She's pretty laid back about most things, but very intensely into her academic interests which are first and foremost Care of Magical Creatures (her mum, who she worships, is a Magical Creature expert for the DoMC), followed closely by Herbology and Potions. She spends a lot of time doing outside study and sneaking off to the greenhouses and Hagrid's hut. So she spends a fair amount of time on her own and is perfectly capable of keeping herself entertained.

• She's hard to anger, but can hold a serious grudge. So don't bully her sisters. Or cheat in international tournaments. Or date her and then be a dick, Sebastian. (Why, yes, we have ACRIMONIOUS Hufflepuffs who can't stand to be in the same room as one another, people!)

• She is not the type to be super effusive and have lots of REALLY, REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS (like a certain character of mine that I could mention), instead she has a few close intimates and a lot of friendly acquaintances. I sort of imagine her closest school friends to be her roommates. Tamsin? Ronnie? You up for this? Everyone else, she will be perfectly friendly and probably laugh at your jokes.

• She has the cutest little brother in the world. She will hear no arguments about this.
Clicking post. Did I win? Edit: No! I lost! Why must I talk so much?!

Run the button again, as the super-duper group known as H6 wins two more members. Say hello to Becca's Gwen Montgomery ([info]ithappens) and Nat's Sebastian Stebbins ([info]sebsteb)!

Say hello to Stebbins

Hi! Natasha here with my second character, a sixth year Hufflepuff by the name of Sebastian Stebbins. But most people just call him Stebbins. Some people probably don't even know his first name, I should imagine.

Anyway, he is pretty lazy for a Hufflepuff, only really engaging with schoolwork in the weeks leading up to his exams. Which would be why he received all As in his OWLs and was pretty limited in his choices for NEWTs. He hates academia and can't wait to leave school. Despite that, he's a bit of a cocky bastard and considers himself a ladies man. (With a face like his, why wouldn't they be interested?)

He has a quirky sense of humour and finds things like people tripping over or having their voices changed funny. But he cares about his friends and tries not to cross any lines with them. Though those lines don't seem to extend to chatting up girls that his mates are interested in. If they're single, they're fair game.

Obviously, he's pro-Cedric when it comes to the tournament. But it's not all love and harmony in Hufflepuff - he used to date Gwen Montgomery and the two had a really bad break-up. Oh dear. Not great when you have to share a common room and a couple of classes.

I'm open to friendships, exes, enemies, future relationships... Anything at all!
