Heather again with character #2, Ravenclaw 6th year Larissa Samuels!

Some of you will have encountered her before, either at Absolut, Feinted/Feigning or through her brother Jason's references to her at May 02. For those of you whose chars haven't met her before, she can be summed up thusly:

* One of four kids - pureblood English dad, half-blood South African mother. She got her dad's looks and mother's accent. Her father died in her second year, and ever since she's spent nearly all of the holidays at her maternal grandmother's estate outside Pretoria.

* English is only nominally her first language. She's equally fluent in Afrikaans (her mother's native tongue), which is what she speaks at home. She also speaks a couple of minor African languages - namely Xhosa and Zulu - and is aiming to learn more. Put a typical Ravenclaw in a country with 11 official languages and it's like putting a pig in mud.

* Her cat, Magnus, is a notoriously grumpy bugger and will barely let anyone in Ravenclaw go near him. Problematic, as he likes to sit on the common room rug in front of the fire.

* She's taking Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions and Transfiguration. She wants to become a Healer and eventually work in sports healing. She's also in the Charms and Chess clubs, and in her free time is obsessed with Muggle sports, particularly rugby. She's mad for the Springboks.

* Hamish Fraser is her best friend - she's the one who pointed out that he and Warrington looked like twins and was very smug to be proved right! She's never had issues telling them apart. Contrary to what some believe, they're not secretly a "thing", even if she is his biggest cheerleader when it comes to Quidditch.

Plot with me! :D

	Hamish is all LARISSA! Well, in his own, quiet way. Time to talk rugby, yes? And Cormas is "Who?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Larissa says GLOMP. She doesn't give a crap about Cormac. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Hamish says YAY. Cormac is pouty. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Woo! Barney will chatter away to her. He is friends with Hamish, so probably also friends with her? He LOVES Sport so so hard, so will be happy to learn about muggle sports and maybe play them. Mel thinks she's very interesting and will know her a little from Charms club. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She might get a little bit "bwuh?" at his endless energy and run on sentences, but she'll be nice. Larissa is glad someone finds her interesting! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Given that I'm both a Ravenclaw and a Lari, I approve of her username so much. :) That said, Marietta would know her from the common room! And her cat, as well, apparently. ;p (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ravenclawlari 2012-08-16 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I foresee Magnus getting on some people's nerves. She's very protective of him! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Stella is also a sixth year Ravenclaw and she doesn't want to be left out of the Larissa and Hamish love fest. She (very politely) demands friendship. ALSO, HI. LONG TIME NO SEE. (Uh, this is Becca.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ravenclawlari 2012-08-16 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	Ha ha, I think Larissa's reaction to Stella will depend on just how Stella behaves towards Hamish. She's very protective of her bessie! She could do with having female friends though, if Stella's not the type to be all over him constantly ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	Oh man, no. Hamish is in the strictly friend category for Stella! His hair does not look nearly enough like it belongs in a boy band for her tastes. I meant more, like, Stella would like for them all to be besties! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say his hair is more like a sheep's fleece gone wild at times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Stella probably has the urge to plait it at times, to be honest. She will try to keep that in check for the sake of their friendship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Hamish says Stella should go find Cass if she ever has those urges. Sure, his hair is much shorter, but he'll probably enjoy the attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Don't tempt her. Warrington is fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Hearing of his identical twin being referred to as "fit" makes Hamish stare at Stella with a O_O expression. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Stella says finding Cassius fit it totally different than finding Hamish fit. Because while Hamish is very handsome objectively, the chance of her ever wanting to snog him disappeared around the first time they all got drunk and someone puked on someone else's shoes. She is a little unclear on the details. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	Stella must have been the one doing the puking, I'm afraid. Hamish has this weird tolerance to alcohol and so has never got remotely drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ravenclawlari 2012-08-16 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Larissa high fives him for that, ha ha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Stella just hopes someone is going to hold back her hair and wait until she is sober to take the piss! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	On the other hand, give him caffeine, and he'll go absolutely loopy. Funnily enough, with Cass it's the exact opposite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps Stella needs to keep a supply of chocolate covered coffee beans just in case life gets too dull. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notahamster 2012-08-16 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	That might not be such a good idea, Stella. Given his behaviour in previous games, he'll probably start fixing stuff around the common room in the wee hours of the morning, and their housemates will eventually try to kill him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty sure that Stella's app included the words, "sometimes Stella does stupid things." I'm just sayin' :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I sort of figured that was the case ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	astellaidea 2012-08-16 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! And Stella also speaks four languages. Though they are less exotic. Her mother is Spanish/Italian and her father is English/French. But that could be a bond? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey, it's Crystal from Feinted/Feigning, and I have one character here so far, Leanne Clearwater. She's also a Ravenclaw, but in fifth year. She's introspective and off in her own world half of the time, shy and quiet, and aspires to become a fashion designer. I think they might get along? (Reply to this)

	notsoslytherin 2012-08-18 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Kathryn has some classes with her and they might get on? (Reply to this)

	seekingcho 2012-08-20 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	She and Cho would definitely know each other from the common room and through Hamish. I think they'd be friendly! (Reply to this)
