Hey all! So, yesterday Ali included a delightful description of Magdalen's portion of the dorm with her character introduction and that got me thinking about how other characters might have decorated their space. So, if anyone else is similarly curious and has time to kill...

DORM: List your character's dorm. For example, Ebonhide Senior Boys.
ROOMMATES: List your character's current roomies.
DECORATIONS & BELONGINGS: List notable decorations and belongings that your character keeps in their dorm. Obviously, you don't need to list off every sock in the drawer or every book they own or anything like that. Just the important stuff. If desired, include reference images!
ORGANIZATION & STYLE: Is your character neat or messy or somewhere in between? What's their space like?
ANYTHING ELSE?: Anything else you want to say about the character's part of the dorm? Are they protective of their space? Are there any spells at play? Does their part of the room always smell like roses? Put it here!

This looks fun!

DORM: Ebonhide Senior Girls
ROOMMATES: Magdalen Gillis, Irene Lovelace, Cressida Quayle, Willhelmina Tran
DECORATIONS & BELONGINGS: I imagine that Dahlia's is really practical, so she probably has a duvet on her bed and maybe just the one blanket. I imagine her duvet covers have prints like galaxy prints and the like (which she sometimes tries to use magic on so they'll move), and her sheets tend to be plain but in bold colours like yellow. The wall by her bed probably has glow-in-the-dark stars (if they're allowed) or some similar decoration.

She has some Funko Pops on her desk, which she just shrugs off when people ask her about them. She'd probably have some Quidditch memorabilia around, but I haven't thought what they are yet. :P Something like a little poster for her favourite all-women's team or something.

ORGANIZATION & STYLE: It's definitely somewhere in-between. Her bed is really neat, since she mostly just uses it at bedtime and leaves as soon as she wakes up. Her desk is another matter; it's more of a structured chaos of papers, books, etc. if she's been studying. They get at least one bookshelf, right? Her bookshelf is probably neat, but the books aren't alphabetically arranged or anything.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Dahlia isn't super protective of her space; as long as you're not stealing or damaging things, it's fine if you cross into it to talk to her or borrow something or whatever. She likes to experiment with spells, so I imagine that besides the aforementioned duvet cover spell, she'd probably do spell like trying to make the wall decorations move or try to make it smell like unexpected stuff like popcorn.

I expect that Magdalen's DIY projects, if they tend to spread into the other girls' part of the room, would probably have reached Dahlia's space a bit. She's not really into that style, but she'd probably allow a couple of things (while dramatically complaining) because she secretly thinks Magdalen's enthusiasm is adorable.
