HI, NEW FRIENDS! I'm Ali and my CDJ is aeris and has a big ol' about me page there so I'll spare you. I noticed a lot of you guys are on tumblr so I'll go ahead and link mine here.

I have Levi Kramer here, a senior Azurcrest and a Chaser on the Quid team. He was previously in Thunderbird at Ilvermorny, where he also played Chaser, and came to Gooseberry on a sports scholarship his sophomore year.

bio: the tl;dr edition

From a Wizarding island that's part of California's channel islands, wayyy off the coast of Los Angeles area. That makes him really suited for outdoor activities, especially swimming and hiking, but he also can't stand Utah's heat because he's used to consistent year-round temperatures of 70-50 degrees. His clothes usually have cooling charms on them because he's a baby.
His mom's a magizoologist and his dad's a musician and he's very much interested in both. He just wants to pet animals and play on the dumb instruments he brought with him. He's taking Magizoology and his advanced class is in Music. He also plays the keyboard/piano as well as providing backup vocals in Diego Morales's band.
In addition to Quid, his extracurriculars also include LARP and Drama Club. (Detailed a bit more in his additional facts section in his bio.) He's interested in starting an informal Quodpot team because QUODPOT RULES, but he's worried that might interfere with his Quidditch performance if he sustains any injuries from exploding Quods. That miiiight not stop him from doing the thing anyway, though.

PEOPLE FROM ILVERMORNY, C'MERE. They might've known each other at their old school and he was known as a show-off Chaser for Thunderbird which is why he (maybe unfairly) got the scholarship in the first place. There were other Chasers more talented at scoring goals, but he was a crowd favorite because he pulled stunts to try to make the games more entertaining to watch. To him, it's not really about winning as much as making sure everyone has a good time. Fairly, he's great at his role or else he wouldn't have been considered for a scholarship, but he's no Quidditch prodigy. Quidditch is a mix of sport and entertainment, in his opinion, and nobody would get so invested in a team if they were boring to watch.
LARP friends! Let's make storylines for our characters' characters. Levi currently plays a halfling bard named Mister Periwinkle, even though he's 6'3.
Tutors? Smart friends? He needs to maintain his grades in order to keep his scholarship and he needs someone to have helped him stay on track through the years. This could have even carried over from Ilvermorny, if they attended. Good on these now! Thank you!! ♥
PARTY PALS!!! People in any house he throws down with.
Rivals? Friendly rivals? People who will engage in banter with him either for the fun of it or because they're easy for him to bait?
A former fling. (Seniors and juniors only, please! He wouldn't have gone for a tiny baby Freshman last year, sorry!) He's had more flings, but they're gonna be handwaved as NPCs. They could've ended on good or bad terms or maybe it just fizzled out to an anti-climatic ending, it doesn't matter~ UNF, filled~
Who helped him with his shitty tattoo and these self-made piercings is what I wanna know.
FRIENDS, ENEMIES, ALL THE LINES, PLEASE.

Hi Ali, I'm Josie! Sorry this reply is so late, I'm only just getting around to catching up on posts (and there are SO MANY to catch up on omg). Anyway, I have two characters here:

Pippa Nightingale, Ribbonfin sophomore, new to Gooseberry from Hogwarts. She and Levi have already interacted a little bit in her journal where she asked him not to be so meeeeeean (lol) so somehow I don't see these two being BFFs, how strange.

BUT. My other girl, Henrietta Gray (

unregrettable) is an Azurcrest senior and WHAT A COINCIDENCE she just happens to be Quidditch captain too! HI LEVI. What are your thoughts on these two?? Het won't mind him not being a Quidditch prodigy as long as he prioritises Quidditch pretty highly, and I think she definitely enjoyed his stunts in previous years. (Maybe this will change now she's more invested in winning? Idk!) Het's sister Theo was captain for the last two years so Het will joke that hopefully Levi should be used to taking orders from a Captain Gray. But ahhh these two are definitely friends y/y??

omg i am so sorry, i JUST saw this. i think i had checked the notif email in the morning before going back to sleep and never saw it while conscious.

BUT YEAH YEAH YEAH!! definitely friends! despite his showboating, he DOES prioritize quidditch and a lot of the reason he tries not to get detention is because he absolutely does not want to miss quid practice. he's here on sports scholarship and he jokes that he's just here to play quid until he graduates to professional and so his grades don't matter.

	NO WORRIES I have also done that on occasion! Yayyy that all sounds good to me! :D Henrietta doesn't think she'll go professional after graduating and she secretly envies Levi his certainty. (Reply to this) (Parent)
