! introduction, x-player: abby

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!

OTHER STUFF

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).

And that's it! Her profile is here, and my contact information is there as well!

I don't know if I know you, but I'm Roz.

So most relevant to iris is I have Chris at this journal. He's a senior coppertale. He's abrasive and can be a dick, and is a beater for the quidditch team. and also kiiinda sideeyes purebloods because his father is the first pureblood he met and that guy's a major douche. They also have five classes together. And to catch you up on his life, he's not handling romance very well, and he found a magical rock that makes everything feel better, and he's slowly, steadily becoming codependent on this rock that just seems like a rock to everybody else. He definitely probably made iris feel his rock and she definitely probably went 'good job, kid, you found a rock.' i figure after three years they're probably on friendly terms, possibly actually friends, who she might possibly detest his attitude. It doesn't matter because he definitely still made her feel his rock despite her disposition toward him

And Olivia Sanchez is a junior coppertale, a prefect, on the cheer team, in drama with iris. She's much more open. She's a lesbian and grew up in a mixed family; her father is hardcore into boxing, and she grew up in boxing. But she's kinda super happy and friendly and will probably treat iris like a friend.

then i have solomon webb, who is a sophomore ebonhide and probably has very little to do with iris but he is in drama with her. And choir. he's a marshmellow who sees the good in everything and enjoys showering people with random facts.

Hi Roz!

This is Iris' rock-petting face. She'd have been indulgent but also probably was like "...bud, it's a rock. There's a billion of them outside." BUT anyway she'd also be friends with him, side eyeing his attitude plenty, but also balancing her side eyeing of his attitude with "but he's my friend" because Hufflepuff loyalty yo.

Iris will also be friendly to Olivia and and Solomon, though she won't know them as well!
