! 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!

Hi Abby, welcome to the game! I'm Josie and I have three characters:

First up is Pippa Nightingale, a Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student new to Gooseberry this year. She's a naive but sweet little vegan who gets excited about ALL THE THINGS and will talk to pretty much anyone on the journals, but I think she might be a little bit starstruck around Iris?? Pippa was also in Hufflepuff, so she'll have known Iris back then, and they're now in Choir together. Pippa approves of people singing all the time. Singing is fun! And it's good for reducing anxiety and stress! SO long story short she'll be friendly~

Henrietta Gray (

unregrettable) is a senior and the new Azurcrest Quidditch captain, taking over from her sister who was captain for the last two years. She's a typical party girl, and likes to have fun, although she can come across as really blunt over the journals because she just says what she means. I think she'd get on pretty well with Iris, though!

Aaaand lastly I have Coralee Wong (

firecoral), Coppertale junior, who is kind of a bitch although she tries to hide it under fake sweetness and passive aggression. Coralee is a troll who loves stirring up trouble for the lulz, and pretty much just treats people like they're there for her entertainment, BUT she might be a little bit more circumspect with Iris, given who she is. OR MAYBE NOT. Time will tell! (Oh and Coralee is also in Drama with Iris.)
