Entry tags:! introduction, player: aleena

HI EVERYONE! My name is Aleena and this is my first new game in four years, so please be gentle with me. Some of you may remember me from Breaking Ties, where I played Lottie Burke ([info]alottohandle) or way, way back at Hexenacht (sp??) , where I played Delilah Savage [info]nalingi_yo). I'm 26 years old and I'm currently working toward my Masters in Education, so I'm on my computer all day every day during the week. The weekends, I work at a restaurant so I am slightly less available. I live in Alaska, so my timezone is a little weird, but we'll work with it!

I bring to you.... CRESSIDA QUAYLE! She goes by Cricket, but will answer to most anything. She is here to join the ranks of hardworking, ginger, Ebonhide ladies. She isn't the smartest cookie, but she might fool you into thinking she is with her scarily organized planner and two-month long study schedule. She enjoys hosting events (NOT Azurecrest style drinking parties - ugh red cups!) and has probably made your character some sort of craft at some point.

Personality wise, Cricket comes across as very sweet. She has a warm energy and tends to remember a lot about other people. I don't want to overreach, but if your character has known her for awhile, she probably knows your character's birthday, hobbies, interests, hometown, class schedule, and the names of all their immediate family members, etc. She spends a lot of her time going out of her way to help people. BUT! She hates it! She is not nice. She is dying inside. She is very tired and she doesn't want to tutor you, but she will absolutely volunteer anyway. Deep down, she is snarky and petty, but is terrified of other people knowing that about her.



1. She is an American pureblood from Olympus, Tennessee. She has a twangy Southern accent.
2. Her father is a MACUSA rep from Tennessee (lots of talk of him being future Prez) and her mother is magical Martha Stewart, so her last name is probably familiar to most of your characters.
3. Her little brother is Ulysses! And she loves him dearly, so don't you dare cross him!
4. She was newly appointed prefect of the Ebonhide Senior Girls, when Maggie was promoted to Head Girl.
5. She is in Outdoor Exploration, Event Committee, and Equestrian Club.
6. She cries A LOT, but it is her deepest, darkest secret and tries to cry privately.
7. She would very much like to be the next President of the Magical United States.
8. Was a Horned Serpent at Ilvermorny before transferring to Gooseberry her freshman year.





1. A few very, very close friends that she allows to see her true mean girl side.
2. A wide circle of friends that she is very sweet around!
3. A frenemy that has no idea that Cricket actually can't stand them.
4. Past romantic interests. She isn't the type of girl who will meet up behind the stables to make-out, but longer term messy casual dating where intentions aren't clear, but FEELINGS WERE HURT are more her thing.



I WAS JUST TOO EXCITED TO START, SO I KNOW I MISSED THINGS!

*Rudy style chanting* BFFS BFFS BFFS!!!

My intro post is lame and doesn't say enough about her, but I think Maggie would definitely be one of her closest confidants and know the truuuue mean side of Cricket.

Oh, God, Cricket can know Maggie's shitty side as well. She plays favorites and has a bit of a controlling streak, and she was absolutely getting special privileges from the HG she dated last year and Cricket could've been the lone soul she admitted it to if she felt she could trust her. Otherwise, she outwardly pretends like everything is Fair and Balanced and Coincidental :^)

I mean, Maggie is a good person and very sweet but she's privileged as fuck and both her parents are politicians.

Cricket definitely knows and will take Maggie's secret to the grave!

Cricket is an okay person who pretends to be very sweet and is also privileged.

OK OK OK OK

I have a tl;dr version of her bio in her intro post but omgomgomg I'm so excited. They have a ton of overlap.

Maggie also does the weird "I MUST KNOW EVERYONE'S BIRTHDAY" thing and she records them in a lil book. So they probably collab to fill out birthdays for students they don't know? For that extra creepiness for the sake of ~Inclusiveness~

Her Mama is Sr. Undersecretary to the Minister in Canada (she's aiming to be Minister, and Maggie has similar dreams but through the Auror track ala Scrimgeour)

SHE WAS IN HORNED SERPENT AS WELL. So they went to Ilvermorny and then to Gooseberry at the same time-- along with her other homeboy Nate up there. AND THEY WERE ALL SORTED INTO EBONHIDE, GEE GOLLY.

Maggie has an arts and crafts night planned as well as a board game night. The journal entry was here. She'd love Cricket to collab with her. I'm holding off on making any plans for it because I'm about to go on vacation until the 14th but AFTERWARD.

They have so much overlap and I swear to gosh it wasn't intentional. I actually have to re-think Cricket a couple of times as Maggie and Veronica came into the game, but obviously, a lot of her stayed. ANYWAY! They do have a ton in common and I think Maggie + Cricket + Nate = New Golden Trio. Platinum Trio??

BUT! I promise Maggie and Cricket won't be mirrors of each other. We'll see how they unfold in the game, but I think their dynamic will boil down to a lot of Cricket bitching behind wards to Maggie, because she can't EXPRESS herself to anyone else.

I LOVE THE OVERLAP IDGAF. *crams them closer together* IT MAKES THEM CLOSER FRIENDS.

yesyesyes Platinum Trio.



God, yes, BITCH AT HER, YES. I need an outlet for her to not be so Nice!!! :^) all the time. She pretends otherwise, but she loves consuming others' salt and loves hearing gossip and she can be petty af sometimes. She's real salty about Diego cheating on his girlfriends (especially since she's close to Anuhea) so any chance to be petty about him... ho boy

Levi likes pretty much everyone by default unless they give him a reason not to. He's in a band with her lil brother Uly and he'd think she's a super sweet older sister :^))) unless Uly tells him otherwise.

Sorry, I am taking creative liberties and claiming she knows the names (and maybe knows for real) his brothers.

YES, that's fine. He talks about his brothers often so she'd pick up on their names. Lavi was in Ilvermorny with them and 4 years ahead so she'd have met him, but I don't think she'd have met Leib or Lior. Leib is 7 years older than them and Lior is 10. She miiiiight know Lior if Gooseberry does any Alumni stuff? Because Lior was part of the first graduating class of Gooseberry and was in Ribbonfin.
