WELCOME MANX!!! omg you're so sweet ;3; For the record I thought Ursula was hilarious, so I'm so glad we could tempt you out of retirement. Oh and this is Marin, as you probably already guessed, haha.

Sy Stoker is URSULA'S NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR. OK, maybe not that that close, but they come from the same neighbourhood and went to the same snooty L.A. school and the Stokers are also incredibly tacky about their wealth and privilege. Oh my god, what's the relationship between their parents?? Sy's half-blood dad also worked/married his way into pureblood society and is basically the Wizard Mayor of Los Angeles. Are they friends?? Or does Jonathan think Rita is an embarrassment and they exchange bitchy bon-mots over champagne during fancy charity balls? (Thoughts????)

Anyway, Sy was probably one of the kids who picked on Ursula before she dropped the Pittsburghese :( but now he's more chill through familiarity. Also Ursula shares a dorm room with Sy's twin sister, Rosemary, and I gotta leave those details up in the air until we get a Rosemary, but they all have to be friends, right? I'm not sure if Sy will also see Ursula as kinda sisterly, or if she's one of those girls he obnoxiously hits on. Or middle school boyfriend back in Port Prep??

OH GOD THIS IS LONG I just got so excited. OK, there's Mina, who is a fashion-conscious competitive overachiever with an acerbic tongue and drama-creating tendencies, which means she can't stand Ursula, of course. :| Ursula's a whole lot better at charming people and "playing the game" than Mina is, but if Ursula dares try to sneak Event Committee from Mina's iron grip, Mina will cut her.

And Ravi is a Ribbonfin a year older than her, and a prefect who may or may not have had to tell Ursula to... please be kind? But he is a Nice Boy who is remarkably tolerant of troublesome personalities, and he can appreciate Ursula's attempts to defend the fish house. Also he is ALWAYS HAPPY TO RECRUIT FOR LARP. It's like improv acting! You get to wear a dress!

	I gotta dash off to work, so MUCH MORE THOUGHTFUL REPLY TO COME, but I think it would be hilarious if Ursula and Sy dated briefly at Port Prep and just like Diego she got dumped because it was feeling too Freudian. And ZOOM. I am off. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Okay, take two! With a cold! I think. But I have hot chocolate, yay! HI MARIN!!

SY. Okay, so, yes. I already mentioned the dating bit above, because I am a terrible person and constantly being sister-zoned is hilarious to me. Wizard Mayor of Los Angeles is also hilarious to me and I don't know why. I think just slapping Wizard onto anything makes me laugh. ANYWAY. I think at this point, Rita goes out of her way to be embarassing and gaudy and NO ONE IS GOING TO IGNORE HER. Bitchy notfriends who would dearly miss the other if they weren't around to needle?? I love the champagne image there.

LBR, Sy was totally one of the kids who picked on Ursula, but that's all water under the bridge now. All three being friends is probably a safe bet, or if Rosemary does hate Ursula, Sy is probably like "whoa, not getting in the middle of girl drama" (though I trust him to take Rosemary's side if/when he has to!) Sisterly makes sense to me! I have this image of her dragging him off by the ear when he tries to bother her ducklings, except not really, because he is way taller than her. (Thoughts????)

MINA. I had this dumb thought at work that someone has to have called Ursula Mini Mina at some point and they both despise the nickname. Ursula doesn't find Mina nearly as awful, but UGH, having someone imply she's a knock-off is the WORST. So between Mina's obvious animosity and being sore about the comparisons... I am feeling a frenemy vibe here?????

RAVI. Uhm, we are in the kind sweet gentle house so obviously that is what Ursula always is, gosh. Ugh, Ravi is such a sweetheart and he is such a good prefect that it makes Ursula feel a little guilty causing trouble around him. Buuuut, not necessarily guilty enough to stop. Ursula is not so great at this improv acting thing. She just wants everyone to call her a princess, because who wouldn't want to be a princess???
