YOU SUBMITTED YOUR APP AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT. I'd just finished processing Holden and Gabi, and I was just like MARIN READ THIS REAL FAST. Anyway, I'm excited about Sybilla~

So, she and Calvin were in Slytherin together! Back at Hogwarts, Calvin was basically part of a little Malfoy-ish clique a year below her. Samuel Goyle, the leader of the gang, might have periodically hit on Sybilla. How Calvin reacts towards Sybilla now, though, depends on how she's taken the way he's changed at Gooseberry. He was sorted into the Nice Kids house and softened a lot, and now he hangs out with a very different group of people. But Sylla is a piece of home, and Slytherin fraternity dies hard. Even if she thinks he's a loser he'll want to side with her to some degree. Calvin's also an excellent student, but gets good grades through learning the system, not necessarily by working himself to death. He's also in duelling, and is fairly good at the wand parts, but skips the swords part.

And then Reid is in her year in Coppertale, and they're in animagus studies together. He's got some weird inclinations himself about how realistic "become a bird" is as a career goal, so he won't judge her deep gothy feelings. On the other hand, he won't have much to say on the subject. He's unmotivated and passive about a lot of things in life, which may frustrate her.

Diego's a year older than her in Azurcrest. He's warm and friendly and non-judgemental, but also needy and always looking for validation. He's probably attempted to flirt with her before, but he may be a little too wholesome for her tastes. There's not a goth bone in his body. He likes some ~heavy~ musicians and song lyrics, but that's about as deep as he goes. Diego is all BIG EMOTIONS, though, and I think it'd be hard to find a topic he was neutral on.

Sylla knows all about that clique life, only hers were her siblings, but yknow how that goes. . . She's pretty self-concerned and rather than cast judgments on people for their behavior, she likes watching and analyzing it, so I think she'd find Calvin's changes very interesting! IDK she's hard to really offend, and I do think they'd get along well! Plus they have that Slytherin familiarity and she's dreadfully homesick also. She'd get Calvin up to practice fencing with her as best as she can.

Yesssss looking forward to animagus things! She is all about that unrealistic expectations, even if she doesn't realize it, but to her everything should be heroic and intense and as high-reaching as can possibly be. As long as his passivity doesn't hold her back, she's cool with him :)

She doesn't even know if she has a taste yet (or if she does it's like. . .Noel Fielding or Shakespearean villain actors covered in blood or something. . .she really doesn't know), but she enjoys people acting strangely to her, so while she wouldn't flirt back, she would eye him with a strange fascination while he does so. She likes seeing all the different facets of human behavior. She'll get into many conversations with him! It's all very fascinating to her.

Yay, yes, they should be friends! They're also both from massive families; Calvin's the middle child of 5 brothers. Anyway, Calvin will talk to her about morbid stuff and not be too phased, even if it's not ~his thing~. His friends are always Right and everyone else is Wrong. And he avoids fencing because he's so scared of looking foolish in front of people, but if Sylla gets his confidence up maybe he'll start attending. :)

Reid will find her intensity kind of offputting, aaaand kind of fascinating. He definitely thinks she's interesting, though. And hey, she can apparently handle Sy. That's an accomplishment.

That sounds like fun. Diego loves talking, and he's hard to make uncomfortable, so feeling like he's being analyzed won't bug him too much. He's also really bad at filtering himself, so Sylla can at least be pretty sure that she's always getting a genuine reaction.
