Hey y'all! I'm Abby, I think I know a good percentage of you, but just in case not, hello! I'm a thirty-something marketing coordinator from the (presently blustery and damp) Northeast, and I'm bringing you Iris Shacklebolt.

(yes, that Shacklebolt, though expect her to clam right up if you start talking too much about her dad. It's kind of awkward, js)

THE BASICS

• Pureblood.
• Hogwarts exchange student for the last ~3 years.
• Coppertale in a friendly sort of manner (a.k.a., she acts like she definitely knows everything and speaks with authority but ha ha haaaaaa she so does not).
• Big on music and "impractical" classes because nobody expects her to be practical and awesome like her dad out here, whee!

• Iris came to Gooseberry because the pressure of being Kingsley Shacklebolt's daughter was WAY too much and was freaking her out. When she got there, she was initially pretty twitchy and jumpy and confusing, but she's calmed down a lot since getting used to being away from All Of That Stuff.
• She's a reassuring type, who acts like she's really sure of herself and like everything is okay and like nothing bothers her. In truth, she's constantly questioning herself and doubting her choices, and only people who are super close to her would really pick up on that.
• And while she's genuinely friendly with everyone, she's a little bit slower to get super close with people.
• Pretty much sings all the freaking time and plays the guitar all the freaking time as well; her senior project is creating a guitar that can recognize people's emotions and play music to reflect and affect those emotions (the latter is something she's still debating on and struggling with charms-wise).
