Backstory Building
Welcome, new players!

The Mods That Be thought it would be a nice idea to put up a post where people can search around for lost friends, past relationships, distant family, and whatever other plotty things strike your fancy.

If you have a character who has vague or sparse backstory, and would like the opportunity to flesh him or her out with another player (or two, or three...), this is the place to pimp! Don't be shy. The chances of another player becoming interested or intrigued by your idea won't be any greater if you don't give it a try! It may also give a person interested in taking on a character an idea of what they can do with backstory, and the opportunity to take advantage.

Any other questions/suggestions/clues to the meaning of life are welcome!

	Melinda would love to have had some run-ins (good or otherwise) with people back in school. She was in the Slug Club and Charms Club, and was probably a bit of a spoiled brat and a flake, too! Gawain needs friends, too. Or at least people he talks to/has a work history with. Any takers? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hestia has probably fixed Gawain up at one time or another at St. Mungo's, maybe even Melinda, that's something? Her info is here. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello all! Cho's family is one of the great merchant houses. They tend to be at least outwardly neutral in the Dark vs Light debate and think of themselves as firmly Gray. Therefore, Cho's likely acquainted if only by name and reputation with most of the pure blood families.

On a personal level, Cho would love to run into her former housemates, any DA members or folks from the Hogwarts Quidditch teams. Also, as she is in the family business, if you need something shipped or imported, she's your girl!

I have Marietta who is a dark-leaning, pureblood though she pretty much is looking out for herself (and Padrig on a good day). She would be nice to most former Ravenclaws to a certain degree. Marietta niceness is rather relative. She is Umbridge's secretary at the Ministry and a general overachiever. She is a slightly different sort of brown-noser in comparison to Percy though.

She is open to lots of random stuff with everyone. Her romantic interest pretty much is Padrig even if they are currently off and not on - their version of off is slightly gray. She'd love friends and enemies though. Backstory galore.
