Two new characters?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. (No seriously what.)
Right, so, the Quirkes!
Maeve is 35 (Ravenclaw 1984) and a Senior Healer on the Spell Damage floor at St Mungo's. She's lived in Helga's Hill for a while, and is pretty much your ideal neighbour -- quiet, polite, etc. She mostly keeps to herself, but she's a good listener and she'd never turn away anyone who came to her with a problem. (Which happens pretty often, given her calm presence and air of Healer/patient confidentiality.) She's very good at practical advice and sorting out other people's lives. Her own? Not so much.
Orla is a Ravenclaw of 2001, so the second youngest character in game. She went off the rails a bit after the war and eventually got suspended from Hogwarts in March 2001 for dealing Gillyweed. She was very nearly expelled, but McGonagall agreed she could come back in the summer to take her NEWTs. So, Orla's parents packed her off to stay with Aunt Maeve in the hopes that Orla couldn't get into any trouble in a quiet Welsh town... HOW WRONG THEY WERE.
Orla met Orpington and completely forgot about studying after he charmed her with promises of a job at Calliope Heights. (Her motive is that she didn't get the exam results she wanted, so her future is looking a bit stunted. Also, no one fucks with her.) He also supplied her with illicit potions, then used that to blackmail Maeve into doing him a favour. Maeve certified that a landowner was in his right mind when he sold his land to Orpington, even though he'd just been in a duel and sustained a head injury, so clearly wasn't. (Her motive is that she would lose her job and her reputation for acting so unprofessionally if this got out.)
Orla's been living in Knockturn Alley since last summer. She went to the C&F open auditions but didn't get a role. She managed to score an internship at the WWN, but was recently sacked, so now she's back living with her aunt. Unlike Maeve, Orla is NOT an ideal neighbour. :P She's messy, loud, and insensitive -- think smoking in common areas, slamming doors at 4am, possibly being sick in the stairwell... SORRY. I'm sure she does have some redeeming characteristics... buried deep down... :| ANYWAY she's supposedly looking for a new job (but not really) while Maeve is trying not to have a nervous breakdown.
So there you have it! The long-suffering Healer and her wild-child niece. Friends/enemies/exes/plot???
