Hello! I'm Josie and I'm joining the game with two characters. My first is Henrietta Gray:

+ Azurcrest senior and Quidditch captain/seeker!
+ She made it onto the Quidditch team two years ago when her sister was made captain. FUNNY COINCIDENCE, THAT. (In all seriousness, she does deserve her spot but that didn't stop people from muttering about blatant favouritism.) She's trying to live up to her sister's legacy and WIN THE CUP for Azurcrest. Go Jays!
+ She loves being outdoors and is in Archery, Boating, and Outdoor Exploration. If you want someone to go on an adventure with, she's your girl! She's not fussed about breaking rules (which... could be slightly problematic now she's Captain and all).
+ She's a typical Azurcrest so if there's a party being held you can bet she's there. Probably supplying alcohol. To minors.
+ She loves dating but her relationships probably don't last longer than a few months as she gets bored easily. She's also open to friends with benefits situations.
+ Henrietta is kind of a mouthful so she goes by Het or Etta. Or Gray. Or Captain. BASICALLY ANYTHING SHORTER THAN FOUR SYLLABLES IS FINE.

I always feel like I miss out really obvious stuff in intros so feel free to ask questions!! And give me all your plot ideas! I'm looking for friends, enemies, exes, possibly a secret study buddy??

JOSIEEEEEEEE i'm so excited to get to play with you again ♥

So, Diego Morales, her year and house, and also one of her team's cheerleaders! Awesome excellent friends y/y??? (Also maybe sometimes FWB it kind of sounds like...)

Reid was her rival Seeker last year, and he... was stressful for Coppertale. He's a great flier, but he's also really unmotivated. He's going to be replaced this year and play Chaser instead, and everyone will be better off. He's weird and unfriendly, but has respect for his fellow players. He's also in Animagus studies with her, and is going to turn into a big ol' bird.

Calvin and Henrietta prooobably won't interact much, but that's ok, poor Pippa will have more Calvin than she knows what to do with.

Right back atcha!! ♥

Definitely awesome excellent friends, and occasional FWB when they're both single. (Just in case... that needed saying... SORRY DIEGO.) They're also going to be CHIEF PARTY PLANNERS y/y? Although tbh I think Henrietta's strengths lie less in actual planning and more in convincing people to come.

Henrietta respects Reid and won't underestimate him on the pitch, but she's glad she doesn't have the stress of captaining him, haha. She's really curious about what everyone's animal forms are going to be, so she's probably asked him a bunch of questions in Animagus studies about that!

Pippa is so thrilled by that statement. ;)

DIEGO IS A MESS but yes only when they are both single lmfao. Yes, def. party planners! I'm afraid Diego can't hold a candle to the other blue bird themed party loving kid I used to play, but he does know how to get alcohol and sneak out after hours. And really, what more do you need?

Reid is probably easiest to talk to about Animagus studies SO THAT'S A GOOD TACTIC. He'll definitely respect Henrietta.

AS SHE SHOULD BE.

	NO ONE COULD HOLD A CANDLE TO THAT OTHER PARTY PLANNER. ♥ Lmao I think you've just summed up Etta's key skills too. BOOZE AND BREAKING CURFEW = SORTED. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi Josie! This is Heather from Something Wicked. I have Tabitha Ogletree, Ribbonfin senior and cheer captain, and Dominic Tremblay, Junior Coppertale prefect. Tabitha will be in classes with her and Dominic would definitely be up for flirting with her at parties ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hi Heather! So obviously there's that whole mess with Diego and Tabitha, which could be problematic because Het is such good friends with Diego, but tbh Henrietta is way more likely to be all "yeah Diego is such a tool" rather than try and defend his actions. So maybe Het and Tabitha used to be better friends but now it's kind of awkward between them??

Henrietta will definitely flirt back with Dominic. :)

	Katya is a Azurcrest junior and totally in Archery and Boating so clearly they know of each other. Katya is the short loud friendly Russian girl so I'm sure they've at least been chatty and she's probably been cheering for Etta a billion times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds perfect! Etta will definitely be friendly and hopes that next year Katya will continue the great Azurcrest tradition of throwing awesome parties. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

JOSIEEEEEEEEEE ♥ true fact: i've been crying to meggie almost every day this month about how much i miss you (this is marin btw not a creepy rando who cries about you for no reason)

OK so Sylvester is a rival Quidditch captain! They're both new to the role this year, and Sy will be one of those people who makes jokes about nepotism but he's probably OK with her? It'll depends on how much Het dislikes Sy's crappy behavior—they have similar temperaments with being direct, competitive and live-and-let-live about their own faults, but Sy is... a douchebag. When he's not shit-talking about sports, he'll flirt with her. ;) ;) ;) GRAY IF YOU WANT CASUAL MAKEOUTS, SY CAN DELIVER.

Mina (

resentfully) is an Ebonhide senior! Their personalities seem very oil and water; Mina is a spiteful complainer who dislikes selfish party girls, so... yes, lol. They take Animagus Studies together, so Mina may get needlessly competitive with Henrietta over that. 8(

Ravi (

paladins) is a senior and also knows Het from Archery. He's a prefect, relatively straight-laced, but likes socializing even if he isn't much for parties or dating. (Or at least, he hasn't been until this year, but he's going to be trying to ~expand his horizons~.) They're probably casually friendly? UNLESS "SECRET STUDY BUDDY" ISN'T A EUPHEMISM and Henrietta really needs a study buddy haha

I HAVE THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE. Srsly tho I hope they weren't literal tears!!

I really like what I've seen so far of Sy!! Het would be okay with him, I think? Like if he was really douchey or she saw him outright bullying someone she'd probably say something because dude, Not Cool. But mostly I think she just laughs at him, like ~whatever you say Sy~ and then flirts back. :| Casual makeouts sounds good, EXCEPT now that they're both captains she might try and be more ~discreet~ for the sake of her team's morale lmao.

Ahhhh I really like Mina too but sadly I think you're right. :( Plus Henrietta is good friends with Diego, and I get the impression that Mina is not her stepbrother's biggest fan...

LMAO IT WASN'T A EUPHEMISM. Henrietta used to be a lot better at studying but this year Quidditch and parties are her top priorities, so I think she needs someone to study with who'll keep her focused. :| Idk if you're offering but if not casually friendly sounds good! Het will try and get Ravi to ~loosen up~ ;)

Hey Josie! I'm Madeline :)

I've got Holden Bright (over at

blinkah, who is a year younger than Henrietta, the Ribbonfin seeker, and basically the most shy jock who finds himself pulled/bullied into putting himself out there so he doesn't cause any conflict. He really only cares about Quidditch, so he might fall into the same social circles as her? But he'd have a very awkward crush on her and probably is passed around as a good boyfriend material type who doesn't talk much and doesn't give into drama. So maybe something there?

And this girl is Sybilla Borgin, goes by Sylla, teeny tiny dueling prodigy from a really shady family back in England, and a Hogwarts exchange student. She's sweet and enthusiastic about what she likes, but what she likes is funerary rituals and morbid fairy tales and blood. So she'll be hanging around :p maybe not so much there, but she likes rooting for Quidditch players, especially the ones who take the most injury. She'll have some "badass females doing their thing" respect for her!

Hi Madeline, nice to meet you!

Henrietta will know Holden as her ~competition~ so although he's quiet she won't underestimate him on the pitch. I like the idea of him having an awkward crush! I mean if you want they could've dated last year, and maybe Etta was just way too outgoing for Holden so they broke up after a couple of months? I don't mind! Up to you. :)

Ahhh Sylla sounds like so much fun, although Henrietta probably thinks her hobbies are a bit weird, haha. But she appreciates being thought of as badass, and Etta talks to pretty much everyone so they'll interact at some point. :)
