Entry tags:! introduction, player: cameron

HOWDY FRIENDS, it's cameron again (sorry). this is mercedes estrada (her fam calls her merche but unless your character speaks spanish, they probably call her mercy) and she is an azurecrest senior. her entire concept was inspired this ACTUAL CONVERSATION i had on the bus:

classmate: ooooh, cam, how you doing, boo? how ARE you? (good.) did you have a good weekend? (yes.) what did you have for breakfast this morning? (coffee.) do you ever think about death?
record scratch FREEZE FRAME

so anyway. mercy! she thinks about death. she was born with a congenital heart defect that really spooked her rich & famous parents. they got super overprotective and so mercy's upbringing was a little bit secret garden eqsue — just her and her imagination and like, the constant reminder that She Might Die, lmfao. now, she's kinda morbid and also she never learned how to filter. prepare for some Invasive Personal Questions, y'all!

but! don't worry, there's no ulterior motive here. she's just friendly and warm and chatty and occasionally, bad at boundaries. if you have ever looked at mercy, she thinks you're her friend. she loves fun and adventure! meeting new people, trying new things! the power of positive thinking! grisly murders! she's on the cheer squad and the events committee.

her senior project is a miniature, magical model of tycho's supernova and the birth of the star tycho g, which is surprising to people b/c that is Challenging and she can come across as air-headed. people who don't know her that well probably think she's a ditz with great social skills, neither of which is true (altho she is admittedly Not Great at book learnings, so like, expect a spelling mistake or to too two on the journals).

mercy is from mexico city and lo fuckin siento in advance to any native spanish speakers here, b/c i used to be conversationally fluent, but now i've forgotten everything. i still know enough for the odd rp tag, i think? ojalá.

No you have to make four and then stop out of laziness Bc the fifth requires a whole presented concept like a power point like the rest of us.

So for once

I think her and Chris should be bros. (I mean all four of my characters speak Spanish, I'm not sure how it got there, Chris is the only one that learned Spanish verbally, outside of family so his is rougher and more street than formal). But he is also a student that is smarter than he acts so naturally I think they should be bros and have senior project bonding talks. Since he's giving Quinn the record breaking cold shoulder he hasn't been to the senior Azurcrest dorm in over a week.

Solomon doesn't overlap with her much but he treats her like a friend anyway

Teo and Olivia also probably like her. Teo and Olivia both grew up in Mexican families while Solomon grew up in Honduras (and also a Mexican family, he's an orphan, it doesn't come up much, but he's actually a Vietnamese refugee. None of that is probably relevant)

why DO all your characters speak spanish are you the fluent person i need to be apologising to

i would love for her and chris to be bros esp since, from the outside, they probably look like exact opposites. grumpy cat and miss sunshine, lmfao. senior bonding talks would be good, since mercy is kinda struggling with just how much research hers entails. and depending on her relationship with quinn (tbd!), chris might be getting a ward being like "where are you? what happened? what's going on?" because mercy is nosy af and also notices these things.

i'm sure she and solo are Very Cute if they ever do interact lmao but he is a wee bab so idk how often she'd see him. maybe sometimes! they can bond over their positive attitudez. solo might get a few questions about his family sitch, since mercy def hasn't figured out that it's r00d to be like "if youre from honduras why are you asian???"

MEXICAN KIDS CLUB i approve of all this

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY

I might have more ideas later but FOR NOW... QUINNNNNN aside from the obvious, is also in EC with her. I think it's impossible for Quinn to dislike Mercy like let's be honest.

Um. Um. Um. She's probably p into Mercy. I'm so bad at intros on my phone. And she's super into Astronomy (anything nomaj science-y really).

She'll def try to mother hen fret over Mercy because of the heart thing bc it's WHAT SHE DOES WITH FRIENDS and I'm sorry about that. She'd do so silently if any time in the last four years Mercy was like "stfu"

And I don't think she has much to do with Kurt or Casey

whoop whoop what up azurecrest are you ready for some FRIENDSHIP and some EVENT PLANNING and some general GOOD TIMES

mercy and quinn can definitely bond over science and don't worry, she doesn't take offence to your fussin'. she's happy to play patient for future-healer quinn, although if she ever tries to actually stop her from doing things (as opposed to just hovering and clucking, lmao), quinn should know that she's unlikely to listen even a little bit. mercy will thank quinn for caring ... and then promptly due whatever she was planning to do anyway, lmfao. #squad

OK OK OK SO.

Leo is a senior! He is only occasionally good at friendly people. He IS good at book learning. He would absolutely seize up at personal questions, which means Mercy should have probably had the opportunity to ask them at some point because that's funny.

Addy is an Azurcrest and she looks up to and loves the seniors with all her heart. They should please be friends. Addy would take her morbid side completely in stride, because ~a person isn't just one thing~, after all. She would also think her senior project is AMAZING, which it is.

Ferdie probably has very little overlap, thinks she is just friendly, it's fine.

oh my gosh lmfao i can just imagine leo BLANCHING mercy doesn't learn her lessons easily either so even though he didn't respond well in the past...... she's gonna keep asking. leo, did you have a good quidditch game? do you like being captain? are you and rafael in LOVE?

mercy would love addy's Vibe, lmao. yolo is right, girl!!!! take it from her!!!!! they should definitely be friends. hopefully, she won't drag new prefect addy into any big trouble. (she shouldn't — she's not a big rule breakers and she's definitely not needlessly defiant/a rebel without a cause — but she dooooes like a little adventure)

YEAAAAH I'M EXCITED. also i have two characters that should know spanish and yet my spanish skills melted out of my brain the minute i stopped working customer service in spanish-speaking areas. i used to be able to sell credit cards in spanish. now i can just barely order carne asada tacos from the taco truck by my office.

BUT RILEY IS A FELLOW TINY CHEERLEADER (just remember who's tinier and cuter). she's also on event committee but she's really just running around going "GLITTER GOES HERE!!! STARS GO HERE!!!" and she's weird. she's a crazy weirdo. she's a crazy weirdo who also does not understand boundaries (though in a different way) and i just feel like they need to be pals. BE HER PAL.

JEFFY TOO. he loves fun and adventure and positive thinking, and he probably thinks of the cheer team as basically quidditch players. like they couldn't win without their badass cheer squad right?? RIGHT, MAN. you can't escape my azurcrests.

can robin beg/borrow help in astronomy from her, because robin sux @ skool and chris isn't there to just give him notes. they can misspell things on the journals together.

and then nate and rosy can fuck off.

YAY

Laurel is most relevant, obviously, and I really hope they're like super good friends ;-; I actually think she and Mercedes would be friends regardless because they have a few things in common, but!! ♥ yeah!! YEAHH

Z is Z
I honestly don't think there's anyone she doesn't get along with or just ignore otherwise .-.
they also have a few classes together, of course

And Wilde would vibe with the death stuff but have a hard time with the positive! thinking!
but he probably really likes dueling her c: maybe they can be buddies that way

no te preocuuuuupes

also............... siempre estoy preocupado lmfaoooo

FRIENDO. ivy also loves mercy. we've talked abt this. i don't know if i mentioned but duelling is ivy's fave thing also. and she's laurel's roommate and laurel likes her so BFFS

Reece should also be friends w her cause idk Azurcrest and i love u. He's supposed to be learning Spanish right now bc his siter's marrying Rafael's brother and they want to ~bond~ with their new in laws. and honestly Rafael terrifies him so maybe mercy can be his tutor

uhmmm. Clem thinks she's a weirdo but in a fun way. She should definitely ask Ariadne if she ever thinks about death. Todd's probably not on her radar or vice versa?

BUDDYPAL also i did NOT know that ivy was into duelling so yes of course they can bond there since mercy really enjoys it and actually takes it pretty seriously. and obv you can't have one templetwin without the other, so.

mercy would be happy to tutor reece en espanol! rafael is scary, i agree (luv u raf). her spelling is better in spanish, lol, but i guess they'd just be doing conversational shit anyway right

i will make a point of asking ari about death lol

HEYO!

Avery & Mercy probably get along pretty well! Avery isn't exactly morbid but she does like scary movies/shows etc and she's generally friendly to everyone too. They're also in Duelling together and Avery is the same type of do-it-to-have-fun so while she is good at it, she also does not care about the competition part. They're probably fun to pit against each other xD

Penelope & Mercy are both seniors, so they have some classes in common but nothing else. However, Penny IS a bit morbid, and definitely loves horror/gore/etc type of things. They both have dad's in the medical profession - so there's that. I think Mercy's "if you have ever looked at mercy, she thinks you're her friend" works well for someone like Penelope, who tends not to make friends that well??? They could be fun together!

Isabelle & Mercy - Both are in EC, but other then that there's not much in common. Issy is morbid in some senses but she's not really into it, she just consistently worried about life in general and is terrified of dying. I have no idea of meeting Mercy would be good or bad for Issy, but I don't necessarily see them not getting along? Just that Issy might be... stressed out by her? IDK YET Issy's a bit hard to figure out when it comes to other people before they actually interact.

HOORAY for duelling buddies and unlikely friends! and yes, i can actually see mercy stressing issy out, the poor bab. she doesn't mean to, but she's not great at reading other people's distress, so unfort, i can see her pushing issy a little too far. maybe with repeat exposure it'll be good in the end? idk lol

Looooook what we have heeere! A weirdo with no filter who loves astronomy and is a physics savant?? Sounds like just the type of gal Jesse would really get along with. Plus, he's constantly lurking around the Senior Azurladies cabin bothering Quinn, so she'd be very familiar with him either way.

Cricket is probably thrown by her recklessness and won't know how to deal with her lack of tact, but in actuality is pretty interested in the odd and strange, so they might get along??

THAT IS A SURPRISING AMOUNT OF OVERLAP I HADNT REALISED but i am Delighted because i love jesse. they can be physics weirdos together and yes ok cool i'm quite happy to stick him on the list of Friendos

and honestly cricket does have a high tolerance for wackiness which is good bc probably mercy's deal is a little annoying to people who appreciate social rules lmao BUT ANYWAY if she doesn't find mercy super grating they probably get on fine i think

AHHH YAY despite playing Diego and Rafael my Spanish is TERRIBLE and I can't judge you, I just ask my native speaking friend for fun slang sometimes :(((

Diego is her year and housemate. He speaks Spanish, and also has an appreciation for morbid stuff... but in a pretentious hipster artist way. (Wasp coffins.) He's an airhead, and overemotional. Mercy has probably gotten him to spill all kinds of personal details with her questions. They're also on the same cheer squad!

Rafael is in her year, and they're both from Mexico City! Rafael's polite but nooooot receptive to invasive personal questions. He was sheltered a lot as a kid for very different reasons, but became a controlled perfect prince. He'll like Mercy but she'll probably periodically get him on the defensive.

Kenzie is her cheer captain! SHE LOVES GRISLY MURDERS! Kenzie loves noir and murder mysteries and true crime, and she's got thick skin (aka ice water running in her veins). Her cheer team is two beefy boys and a bunch of itty bitty girls! (Except Kenzie who's super tall lol) She's a lot gentler to her cheer squad than anyone else because she needs to maintain peaceful respect to manage the squad but... I mean. You know what she is.

Calvin and Reid proooobably won't cross paths with her too often UNLESS YOU CAN THINK OF SOMETHING I MISSED.

omg sorry rolling up super late.

First, sounds like a pretty solid bus conversation to me.

Second, Mercy is adorbs.

Third, RELEVANT LOSERS:
Asher who is a Senior Ribbonfin, nice person thing, does a newsletter that I still have to write for this month, whoops. They have some classes together (Charms, Hermeticism, HoM, Transfig) so they presumably know each other at least. He'll find her interesting and will be very appreciative of her positivity (and will take any of her darker stuff in stride like the champ he is.)

Jaime who is a Junior Azurcrest. He's from Mexico tooooo (but not Mexico City), so he will very much be up in her business. He's stupid and nice and loves adventure and excitement and fun things (even if he is currently trying to be less of a ridiculous person. He's failing like 75% of the time whatever). He will probably love her but be unsure of the weird death side of her, but also he's pretty good at being chill around weird people so it'll probably be fine.

The Spanish that I know is actually just contextual from my parents trying to have conversations with me and my bros around so we couldn't understand them, so it is useless SORRY.

ROOMMATE!!! Friends, y/y?? Etta is 100% okay with Invasive Personal Questions and people with no filters or boundaries, so bring it on. I'm sorry if Etta has ever got Mercy into trouble before by involving her in questionable and/or harebrained schemes, because that seems likely. But that's pretty much standard in Azurcrest I think. Oh and Etta does speak Spanish but... I don't... SO CAN WE JUST HANDWAVE THAT PART PLEASE.

Pippa will be friendly! She thinks Mercy is super nice! But she would be v worried if she knew about Mercy's heart. (Is it SAFE for her to be a cheerleader???) (Yes I did read that part in her app that says it is but Pippa doesn't know that.)

Coralee will know her from EC plus they're on ~rival~ cheer squads, and she will totally try to mess with Mercy.

Irene is in a few classes with her plus duelling! She haaaates being asked personal questions, and if Mercy is nosy then Irene will probs try and avoid her, sorry. :|

But I think Mercy is adorable!!! ♥
