GREETS. It's Jenny (Xavier) here with my number two (lol) and Calvin's onii-chan, DAMON EVERCREECH. Damon will be arriving at Gooseberry on Sunday and getting sorted that night, then starting class on Monday. I am very excited that his arrival will apparently be leading to the first annual Gooseberry Hunger Games? And also cannibalism?????

Dimi's concept is "Typical Gryffindor with something to prove walks line between hero and villain." His classes are Charms, Herbology, History of Magic, Outdoor Education, Potions, Aesthetic Magic, Magizoology, Wizard Lit. He's going to be trying out all the clubs for a while, but will probably wind up sticking with Outdoor Exploration, Archery, Duelling & Fencing and Drama.

Dimi is charming, confident, artistic, outgoing and a complete shitter. He is a bully-of-bullies. A kid with a superhero complex teetering on the edge of super villain. He will be white knighting all over campus when he isn't out taking photos. For the previous six years at Hogwarts, Dimi was extremely popular within his house, well liked and well known for sticking up for kids who were getting picked on. If you were a bully or a victim at Hogwarts in the last 6 years, you probably had a run in with Dimi Evercreech.

So, why did Dimi leave Hogwarts so near the end of his secondary school career? GOOD QUESTION! It's because this child is a mess. He'd actually applied to the Gooseberry transfer program almost every year since he was first eligible. He was passed over each time because he was a troublemaker with average grades who didn't bring much to the table outside of an excess of personality. At the end of Dimi's sixth year, his core friend group imploded on itself very publicly and dramatically. On the one hand, this meant when he came back for his seventh year he mostly hid in the library and studied, so his grades got better. On the other, he spiraled into a depression and didn't really have a social outlet. So the Head of Gryffindor recommended him when a spot opened at Gooseberry and he accepted because he needed to GTFO.

Dimi is here to make friends, have fun and ~~burn the Coppertale senior boys cabin to ash and cinders~~ hopefully get steered away from becoming Darth Vader.

Okay SO. I have character summaries here (except for Fern lol whoops).

Tess is probably the most relevant here! Coppertale sr girl, prefect. She also has a history of being a bully or bullies (though she wouldn't have put it that way) and got into a lot of fights when she was younger. She has mellowed out a lot, though she still has a temper, she puts a lot of that energy into prefecting ~~and lecturing people about consent~~.

She's optimistic about him, and she's really hoping that his arrival will improve the climate in the boys' cabin and not make it worse. They've got a lot in common, and I think they could get along well. On the other hand, Tess is lawful good.

I also have Fern, who is a coppertale sophomore, and who is sort of watching this whole thing with some amusement. Why are you here so late in the year? Why don't you get a real sorting?

Chloe I think would be easily charmed by him if they cross paths, and not likely to see the negative aspects of his personality.

Cameron is friendly and easy going, but also, he is the star okay.

UM 1st of all: Diva-off between Cameron and Dimi, ok? ok.

My original starting point for Dimi was "I want to make a lawful good villain" because I cannot think of things outside of the context of tabletop games apparently but I think he just ended up coming out chaotic good. Which is saying something about being chaotic good maybe. ANYWAY Tess and Dimi have interacted a tiny bit already but IA they have a lot of common ground and I think they could become good friends assuming he doesn't shit up his chances.

UM FERN ILU please do bother the hell out of Dimi.

	Okay now I'm just picturing this scene in Bridesmaids where they both keep trying to have the last word. I always try to fit characters into the tabletop spectrum and have had lengthy debates with my hubs about it SO I FEEL THAT. CAN DO! (Reply to this) (Parent)
