i suppose i should do one of these.....
*waves* Hi guys! I'm Kat. I know some of you (most of you? I dunno), but for those I don't -- yet! -- hi!! And I bring you two characters:
First, I have Emmeline Vance (linevance) from '78. She's a seventh-year Ravenclaw, prefect, and a chaser for the house team. She's very hard-working, and dedicated to her studies during her final year. As a prefect, she's a bit of a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to breaking the rules, and turns her nose up at any trouble-makers or those who don't take their studies seriously. But she does know how to have some fun, and is generally friendly, though she can be a bit shy and awkward in social situations as she usually has her nose stuck in a book.
I also have Astoria Greengrass (readmeastory) from '00. She's also a seventh-year, but in Slytherin. She's little sister to Daphne, and spoiled by her parents, the prestigious Greengrasses, well known in the pureblood wizarding community for generations. Her family went in to hiding during the climax of the war (trying to remain neutral, though they had strong alliances with many on the dark side), and she was pulled out of school in her sixth year, and is now returning for her final year. She's a brat, and a snob, and basically thinks she rules the school now (think the Regina George of Hogwarts -- no one really likes her, but everyone wants to be her...and now I'm going to stop because I just compared Harry Potter to Mean Girls -.-). But on the inside, very, very deep down, she can be vulnerable and is a bit of a hopeless romantic with big, unrealistic dreams. She doesn't expect many friends, but lots of enemies.
More about both can be found in their journals :) You can easily reach me on aim at kattattackrawr (I'm almost always on) or if that doesn't work, email me at kaford6@yahoo.com. Look forward to playing with all of you!
