HI YES I'M CRAZY THANKS MOVING ON.
This is Rory. She is the youngest character in game as a Gryffindor '01. (Don't worry, she still managed to be around for the Badger Festival and, frankly, she WISHES she'd been the one to murder Orpington.)- So, yes, Gryffindor of 2001. She also plays Keeper like Wood the Elder, but can play the other positions decently, too. She was a bit of a late bloomer in Quidditch, so was only a Reserve in the Harry years. After the war, however, she captained for her 5th, 6th, and most of her 7th year. If you were on her team during that time she probably made you get up obscenely early and do wind sprints. Because Wood.
- Like many younger siblings she kind of rebelled against her older brother's personality to create her own. So, while they're both Quidditch mad, Rory replaces Oliver's affability with sarcasm and eye rolling. She can also get very impassioned and shout a lot. But she's energetic (REALLY energetic) and a lot of fun if you can keep up with her!
- She spent the year under the Carrows instigating confrontations with the IS and Professors and getting herself into lots of trouble. She tried to sneak back for the battle but Alicia caught her and shoved her back through the portrait hole. Humph.
- Her parents died in the war so Oliver became her guardian after that and she continues to just sort of live in his flat and let him pay for things because he's rich and her job sucks.
- Why does her job suck, you ask? Why isn't she a pro-Quidditch player? WELL. That can be laid at Orpington's door. Last year when she was home for Easter hols she started developing symptoms of Dragon Pox. Oliver rushed off the apothecary to get a potion which keeps the symptoms from reaching full bore if taken within the first few hours. BUT Orpington was there buying his hair potions or whatever and INSISTED his giant order be filled first. So Rory got Dragon Pox, missed a bunch of school (hence being around for the festival), had to coach her team to Quidditch Cup glory from the bench, and still wasn't back in shape in time for her pro-trial. So, GOOD RIDDANCE, ORPINGTON. And she'll be ready for tryouts next year.
- Her sucky job is being a shopgirl at BeStitched which is Helga's Hill's local craft store. It specifically focuses on knitting, crocheting, and embroidery but also carries other crafty things. And serves as the gossip hub for the town. You can imagine how much Rory loves sitting around while gossipy bints stitch and bitch all day. SO MUCH So, friends! Enemies! Brother's friends! Former players! Give me plotz.

Hello and welcome to the first annual Helga's Hill Awards! I'm Becca and I'll be your host tonight. Before we begin, I'm going to say a few words so please bear with me. I'd like to say thank you, first and foremost, for so many, many reasons. Thank you for being the most creative, hilarious, kind, giving group of players that a mod (or a fellow player, or a friend) could ever ask for. Thank you for sharing your genius and your bright ideas and your complex characters with me. Thank you, also, for your patience, for your understanding, for your friendship, and for your dedication. This game would not still be going if it were not for all of you and I want you to know how deeply and profoundly aware of that I am. Thank you for an amazing year, may this celebration live up to a fraction of its brilliance and fun. And here's to another year and hopes of a Helga's Hill Awards ceremony in 2015.
Now, without further ado, the envelopes please....
( and the badger goes to... )
