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!

WELCOME ALEENA! OKAY SO I'M KAS AND I DON'T REMEMBER YOU. BUT APPARENTLY WE HAVE PLAYED TOGETHER BEFORE! I also came out of retirement for this game (7 years!) and we played together at Sien Finn (Delilah's in the comms) so would you like a blast from the past? i have it here for you. I had Amycus Carrow, Heathcote Barbary, and Arthur Weasley. No idea if they rings any bells.

I DON'T HAVE THEM HERE, THOUGH! HERE I HAVE:

Quinn Cunningham (this journal!) is an Azurcrest senior and is also a Prefect! She's one of them perpetual studiers like Cricket, is in five of her classes, AND Event Committee. So I think them not having some kind of relationship, whether good or bad, would be a disservice to everything, everywhere, for all time. Quinn runs regular study groups for all her classes so she definitely would have told Cricket about them. She's also super down with Cricket's desire for everybody to be quiet and behave; when she's working (school or prefect-y) she has a no-bullshit attitude and loathes people who waste her time. She'll just walk away. Aside from that she's very nice and lets loose like a madwoman when she's scheduled out Fun Time. She's a hockey fanatic from Ontario and a bloodthirsty sports fan/player, but that isn't necessarily something you would see if there wasn't a game on. I'm not sure how Cricket would take her, though — what do you think?

Kurt Wolfhart [info]lovekurts) is a Ribbonfin junior in Equestrian and OE with her. He's got familiar ties: his dad's a big-wig in Muggle Relations at MACUSA (think spin-doctor) and his mom's from fancy old wizarding money in Connecticut, which is where he grew up. They may have / probably have encountered each other at stuffy garden parties and charity functions that Kurt loooathes. He's a cavity-inducingly-sweet and timid guy with a stutter and a love for animals, and has returned to Gooseberry determined to be a Whole New Kurt who is Confident and Fights for Justice (But In A Non-Violent Way). He probably gets very excited when he sees her in riding pants bc he thinks TIME FOR EQUESTRIAN~ and then gets v sad when he realizes she's doing it for fashion and he isn't about to hang out with his horse pals all afternoon.

p.s. we have previously brainstormed some ideas for pureblood bluebloods! You don't have to abide by them by any means, but they're in this post if you're curious!

I can't say I remember your characters, but that was many, many moons ago! I'm glad you've come out of retirement, though! We can re-emerge into the world of RP together.

Seems like Cricket will get along well with both of your characters! Cricket will definitely hop in on those study groups with Quinn and provide very detailed study charts for everyone! She might not understand Quinn's party side, but she can probably just turn a blind eye.

I think Kurt and Cricket will definitely have crossed paths as children. If he is super into horses, they might know each other that way too. Cricket isn't like... a professional jockey or anything, but she does quite a bit of riding and probably shows up a lot of big races as a spectator. I think Cricket will really like Kurt!

I like all the ideas for purebloods! MONOGRAMMED EVERYTHING!
