! introduction, player: katie

Hey all! This is Katie again, current player of Cecil Honeychurch (choneychurch), and I've just added another character to my roster. Because what's self-control?

Anyway! This is Casper Kim. He's the son of an Auror that had a bad run in with a Dark wizard, leaving her physically and verbally non-responsive and a tiny bit mutilated. Needless to say, he's been struggling to cope with that for a long time and is an unhappy guy with a lot of anger. Normally, he's fairly composed (if sarcastic and negative as hell) and vents the worst of his feelings playing Quidditch, Dueling, and listening to/playing very loud punk rock music, though he can have a pretty sharp tongue at times too. He wants to be an Auror, both so he can learn enough about the Dark Arts to help his mother and because he'd like to put the hurt on some Dark wizards, so he's largely preoccupied with DADA.

Because the universe has a sort of mean sense of humor, he's also a Parselmouth and there were some ugly rumors around Gooseberry during his freshman year as a result. Mostly of the 'you know who's a Dark wizard?' variety. While these have mostly died down, there are still quite a few students around that would remember it. There's a mention of an older Ribbonfin type that kept him from totally losing his shit over that in his application, so if anyone's interested in having a character take that role, just let me know and we can discuss!

If anyone would like to plot or whatnot, just give me a poke here or via my drop box!

Katya is a junior in DADA and Occulmency because she's going to end up a Hitwitch or something she just doesn't realize it yet. It's one of those huh I'm taking all of these classes I wonder what I can do with it. She's drawn to the whole find a way to protect my family because her father was killed because he was a wizard basically so she kind of wants to go and bash faces in because of it. Not that...many people know of that BUT that's a thing. She's also a big fan of punk music but she leans toward the whole horror punk scene but same general idea. There's a lot of overlap here apparently that I didn't think about until I was writing.

As for Trixie, she is a bit hyperactive and crazy scientist type so they may get along. I don't know, she tries! She'd be the one going sweet ass snake mouth, she doesn't have a lot of tact.

~~Be still, his beating heart.~~ Vast differences in disposition and rival houses aside, these two are kind of peas in a pod, aren't they? In a terrible, enduring trauma sort of way. I think there's potential for an interesting dynamic in that and it seems like Katya and Casper might get along in a way that's semi-inexplicable to other people. If nothing else, DADA/Occlumency friends? But yay for overlap!

As to Trixie, the hyperactive mad scientist routine probably makes him confused and curious in equal measure. So long as she's not in his space all the time or blowing up his camp or anything, though, they could get along decently well. The Parselmouth thing, though, is sort of a tricky topic and even if she has a positive opinion about it, bringing it up too often will make him all kinds of prickly. So! It kind of depends on how she approaches it.

I think I've tried to write something here three times before closing the browser on my phone. Go me! They seem to be, I'm sure Katya doesn't give too much of a care about silly house things but they can start a club over the trauma of their past. She might go into more details about what happened if it came up just because of the fact that he might at least have some understanding of it all. She WAS kind of there when he got killed but again, she does her best to be all :) all the time.

Trixie wouldn't bring it up too often other than sup once or twice and honestly you know how some people realize someone else can speak a different language? And then they try so hard to learn it but end up driving the person that can speak that language crazy? That seems like something she would do. I really hope that sentence made sense because I got lost writing it.

Also I really just wanted to match icons...

Casper considers all of the house stuff pretty unimportant too, so no issue there. Trauma Club! While I doubt Casper would've start the exchange about traumas, he might've reciprocated if Katya ever talked about her past. Might actually do him some good and give him some perspective. He didn't find his mom after the Dark wizard stuff, but he's been living with what's left of her ever since and both of those situations are awful in their own way. I guess the question is whether or not they'd have ever gotten to that point or if it's something we'd like to explore going forward? Either way works for me! Though, obviously that'll have a big impact on their current dynamic.

Ha! Casper's not teaching you Parseltongue, Trixie!

Icon twins! Totally. ;)

	Yeah she isn't too keen on just blurting it out but if she eventually opens up about it to anyone outside of Riley I can see her talking to him about it. We can always play it out like they eventually get there but are still kind of heading that way? Ish. Trixie says booo boooo you suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That makes sense. Maybe there's just been enough said and hinted at over the years that they're both aware that the other has Seen Some Shit, even if neither has come clean on the specifics just yet? Casper rolls his eyes and gives her a harmless little snake to play with or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah like maybe something came up once they were like hey we are taking all the same classes why do you want to be here sort of thing. Don't give her a snake, please. Please. It'll explode or become mecha-snake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
