Plot with Ana~

[Harper Alston]

Hi! I now have two characters, and they need all the plots.

HARPER ALSTON​

First up is Harper, second year Gryffindor. I go into detail about personality when I talk about potential relationships below, but if you'd like something even more thorough, check out her bio here.

Friends - Harper's a friendly and easygoing person, so unless your character is rude from the start, she'll probably get along with them. As for actually becoming friends, she's more drawn to people who are active and extroverted, like her. I'm looking for all types of friends for her: casual acquaintances, best friends, confidants, partners in crime, etc. I'd love to find someone who is also super lively since I can imagine her and that person just feeding off of each other's energy, hyping each other up and getting into crazier and crazier adventures. On her own, she's actually fairly responsible and generally follows the rules. It'd be great to get her a mischievous influence or two (her brothers have historically played this role). She's more of a follower than a leader and will gladly tag along with your troublemaker character if what they're doing sounds fun. Or if you have a character who likes playing the leader and wants some followers, Harper might be an option.

Enemies - Harper generally avoids confrontation, so her default reaction to people who are nasty or rude is just to avoid them. She doesn't want to deal with that negativity. A good way to make yourself Harper's *enemy* and not just a person she dislikes is to be dismissive of her. She's got a bit of a complex where she needs to prove herself and doesn't take kindly to being told she's incapable of doing something. Harper's also muggleborn and kind of obvious about it in case you have any old-school blood-supremacist bullies (do those even exist anymore?)

Rivals - Listing this out separately since I think it's a fun dynamic and can be played off as friendly or not-so-friendly. My main thought here is that Harper needs some athletic rivals. Competitive sports were a huge part of her childhood (when it comes to Muggle sports, if you can name it, she's probably tried it), and she lost all of that when she came to Hogwarts. Now, she's going a bit crazy. Her two favorite sports are football (soccer) and gymnastics, but if your character plays a Muggle sport of any kind, she'll probably latch onto them.

Mentors - Another fun dynamic that I'd like to explore. She comes from a tight-knit community and had lots of support from her family, but attending Hogwarts has strained those bonds. Now, she's alone for the first time in her life and navigating a world she doesn't completely understand, and she could use some guidance from an adult or older student who understands what she's going through. I imagine this would be a relationship built up slowly since Harper doesn't accept help very easily, though she has generally been open to advice/information about the magical world so far. Also, if you have any first year muggleborns, Harper doesn't know enough to be a true "mentor" but she'd definitely be willing to act as a sympathetic ear to anyone who wants to rant or talk through things.

Romantic Interests - Not really looking for any long-term plotting here since I like letting things happen organically and she's also 12. She's straight and some small crushes could be fun (maybe unrequited as well, for the extra drama?) Any crush at this point would probably just be someone who fits her friend criteria (see above) and comes with the bonus of being someone she finds cute.

Roommates - Basically, if you have a second year Gryffindor girl, we should plot because I adore dorm threads and roommate relationships. In general, Harper's a pretty good roommate, respectful and tidy. She does have an annoying habit of waking up absurdly early (she's quiet but it could bother light sleepers) and passive aggressively sighing at the sight of other people's cluttered messes if you want some ~conflict~.

---

WESTON STIRLING​

Next up is Weston, first year Ravenclaw. He could use just about everything. His bio is here (and will contain a full-length personality description when I get around to it >.>)

Friends - Weston wants to be your character's friend. Period. Doesn't matter who your character is, unless they are actively glaring at him, his first reaction will be to try to befriend them. He hasn't had many friends in the past, so I actually think he'd be a terrible friend at first despite being friendly and well-intentioned. He'd be self-centered without realizing it and not very attentive other people's needs, so he'd probably get along better with someone who is more patient or a doormat. Or someone could call him out on it! (Something he desperately needs it). He's extroverted and can be a bit overly enthusiastic since he isn't the greatest at social cues at the moment. At the same time, he's also pretty naive and gullible, so a toxic friendship with a manipulative character could be fun. As for interests, he absolutely loves music and plays the guitar. He also likes comic books and a lot of board/card games.

Enemies - Weston grew up homeschooled and very sheltered. He's not really used to being disliked, so I'm looking forward to changing that. He can easily come across as obnoxious and isn't very socially aware, so I imagine he'd probably annoy a fair amount of people. If you have a character who's a bully, he'd be a very good target.

Other Relationships - At the moment, the only thing I really have in mind is potential bandmates/other people to just jam with. If there are any other musicians or singers looking to link up, Weston might be an option. This could also be something we plot long-term since he's 11 and doesn't really know how to go about performing with other people (he's only ever played by himself or for family members). I'm also open to other relationships if you have ideas!

---

If you're somehow still here after all of that, thank you. I'm also happy to discuss any other ideas you might have, and my PMs are always open!

 

[Flynn North-McGowan]

Harper + Flynn! They sort of... not really got along last year. It was basically Flynn just being incredibly judgemental and 'this is why you don't let girls do stuff'. And his mood has certainly not improved, but I am still down to try and second thread this time around if you would like one.

And then Eoin + Weston! They are both first year claws, but that is about the only thing they have in common. Eoin is pretty anti-social, prefers books over people and is not a big fan of all this magic business. But hey, we could make something work and see how they actually interact

 

[Harper Alston]

Charlie!

I'd love to do another Flynn + Harper thread. With everything Flynn's going through now, I don't have high hopes that they'll get along better this year but who knows. Harper would also probably make a more concerted effort at being nice to Flynn and go all *pity eyes* at him when she first sees him this year, which I imagine would not endear her to him. She'd treat him normally afterwards though. Where does Flynn usually hang out these days?

As for Eoin + Weston, I agree, they have very little in common. Weston is definitely a people person and generally doesn't really care about books and studying. I saw your open thread in the first year's dorm and might throw Weston in that and see what happens? Also now that Weston is in Ravenclaw, I envision him spending a week or two trying to be a "proper" 'claw and maybe asking one of his more studious house mates for study tips and stuff. Maybe Eoin could be that person?

@Flynn North

Flynn + Harper Oh yeah that would really annoy Flynn as the last thing he wants is people giving him sorry looks and offering pity. That just pisses him off. Though he also doesn't really tell anyone what happened so unless she notices the prosthetic leg he won't tell her about it. But these days he spends a lot of time in the common room in a quiet corner grumping to himself because it takes too much effort to go anywhere else

Eoin + Weston for sure just pop into that open it is open to all the new Ravenclaw firstie boys so they can get to know each other so the more in that thread the better, tbh. But if you want someone to help with your studying then for sure Eoin is a good person to go to because he really loves his grades and I don't think he would mind helping someone out with it

 

[Sapphire Michaels]

Jordie and Weston could potentially be bffs. Jordie is into music, and is a very huge cuddler. They could be bros for life. Or more, later on, but we'd have to see how they develop, Jordie is bi and likes everyone so i really don't know what he'll do XD he also comes from a very musical family, and can play a little bit of guitar and drums, and a veeeeeeeery little bit of bass. He hasn't picked an instrument to really focus on so he's just toyed a bit with everything.

 

[Chloe Thompson]

Hi Ana!

So I could possibly offer Chloë here as a friend/mentor-y person for Harper if you're up for that. I think they had a fun interaction during rose giving and I think it would be nice for them to interact some more (if only for Harper to drag Chloë onto that trampoline lol).

For Weston I could offer Isaiah as a possible friend. He will definitely not be afraid to call Weston out when necessary and plays the guitar as well so I could see them jamming together if nothing else.

 

[Samuel Phillips]

Hey Ana!!

So we should absolutely rp my firstie Pascal Monsanto with Weston! Pascal is talented and creative and very arrogant over it, I can see them on one hand being creative together and Weston playing music to back up Pascals vocals, which would be really fun, I love the idea of them being creative together and playing music. But with Weston not understanding social cues very well I can also see Pascal being a bit annoyed with him while also being friends with him. I’m open to ideas but I do like the possibility of them meeting over music and getting along, but outside of that Pascal can be a bit rude to Weston and doesn’t really understand Weston at first, but eventually when or if Pascal finds out about Weston being home-schooled and why Weston acts the way he does their friendship could possibly become closer as if Pascal knew more about Weston he would try more to understand and be more patient. Not sure if this makes sense, but it could be fun to rp I think!

 

[Poppy Perkins]

Hey Ana!

I'd love to rp some things with you! For Harper I have Nikko who's a third year gryffindor. He's not particularly good at being social but he is very nice, if not a bit of a stoic loner. Maybe she can interpenetrate his quietness as "cool and mysterious" haha. But I'd love for them to meet and see how it goes!

Then for Weston I have my first year Indi who is bossy and a little mean, and I can tell it's going to be hard for her to find friends but if he seems eager to be her friend she might be more inclined to take it easy on him. Regardless, I'd still like to throw them together to see what happens.

Let me know what you think!

 

[Stefan Archer]

So I think it could be cool for Weston and Branson to be friends (they can also be friends with Eoin, create a wee trio of claws?

In any case, branson is a book dedicated boy, he likes being the smartest guy in the room for sure, but he also really just likes reading, he savours every book he can get his hands on. He's good natured, kind to those around him, only mean if people attack his family. He likes learning. He might also help with the studying, but he's never had to help anyone with that before so there's no guarantee he'd be good at that.
let me know what you think!

 

[Harper Alston]

Flynn + Harper Oh yeah that would really annoy Flynn as the last thing he wants is people giving him sorry looks and offering pity. That just pisses him off.

let me know what you think!

Grouping you two together because, yes, I'd love to make Eoin + Branson + Weston an odd trio of friends (though I don't think Weston's giving off the greatest first impression at the moment haha). He'd definitely be happy to let Branson/Eoin be the smart ones and might also be a bit impressed (like, "Wow, you guys don't get bored? How?"). Maybe we let their current thread play out for a bit, and then when classes start, we potentially do a thread where he asks for advice?

Also the "only mean if people attack his family" thing caught my eye, and I could see a situation where Weston insensitively complains about the library's rules (or even Stefan if he ever got told off for, say, being too loud or something) to Branson either because he didn't realize Stefan is his dad or he was just being dumb and forgot. He'd feel terrible afterward, but yeah, if you ever want conflict, there's a potential idea.

Charlie, for Flynn + Harper, maybe Harper could hear about it via the school rumor mill? I feel like that might be the kind of thing that quickly makes its way through the Gryffindor second years. But I'm also happy to do something where Harper starts off the thread not knowing! The common room sounds perfect, do you want to start something or should I?

Jordie and Weston could potentially be bffs. Jordie is into music, and is a very huge cuddler. They could be bros for life. Or more, later on, but we'd have to see how they develop, Jordie is bi and likes everyone so i really don't know what he'll do XD he also comes from a very musical family, and can play a little bit of guitar and drums, and a veeeeeeeery little bit of bass. He hasn't picked an instrument to really focus on so he's just toyed a bit with everything.

Hi Jess!

Yesssss! I love the idea of Jordie and Weston being besties (and potentially more later on?? I'm still working out Weston's sexual orientation). Jordie seems like a ball of energy, and I think they'd vibe well together. Weston has been thinking about trying to pick up another instrument, so he'd think it's very cool that Jordie already knows how to play three. And if Jordie does decide on guitar, Weston would be happy to give tips if asked. Did you have any preference as to where/how they meet?

Hi Ana!

So I could possibly offer Chloë here as a friend/mentor-y person for Harper if you're up for that. I think they had a fun interaction during rose giving and I think it would be nice for them to interact some more (if only for Harper to drag Chloë onto that trampoline lol).

For Weston I could offer Isaiah as a possible friend. He will definitely not be afraid to call Weston out when necessary and plays the guitar as well so I could see them jamming together if nothing else.

Hey Marijke!

Yes to Chloë + Harper as friends (and possible mentor/mentees)! They seemed to get along well, and I think they actually have quite a few similarities personality-wise. Harper would absolutely love to drag Chloë onto the trampoline. Maybe we start with that? Also this is verrrrry early but I saw that Chloë wants to be an auror, and that's one of the careers Harper will be considering later down the line, but maybe it could be Chloë who plants the idea in her head?

Definitely down to have Isaiah and Weston hang! I think Weston would find him amusing and fun, and I am always down for a jam sesh thread. Would also love it if Isaiah called him out whenever he acted like a self-absorbed idiot; maybe he'll actually grow. Any preference for where/when (during the break or after school starts) they meet?

Hey Ana!!

So we should absolutely rp my firstie Pascal Monsanto with Weston! Pascal is talented and creative and very arrogant over it, I can see them on one hand being creative together and Weston playing music to back up Pascals vocals, which would be really fun, I love the idea of them being creative together and playing music.

Not sure if this makes sense, but it could be fun to rp I think!

Anna!

Yes, yes, yes to everything! Weston absolutely wants to meet Pascal after that grand entrance at the sorting ceremony. And it'd be fun to see them play music together, so definitely happy to start out with them meeting and bonding over that. I could also see some potential conflict at first while Weston adjusts to the learning curve of playing rhythm as back up ("what do you mean I can't just go off on my own riffs?"). Also love the idea of Pascal being annoyed and a bit rude at first, especially since Weston will not take that well and will grow convinced that Pascal hates him. But Weston should hopefully mature after a bit and maybe they'll become closer, especially if Pascal grows to be more patient with him.

Let me know what you think!

Hi Kadi!

I've seen Nikko around and think he's a really cool character. Would definitely love to throw him and Harper together and see what happens. Harper could definitely find his quietness intriguing since she's very used to being in situations where if you don't speak up, you quickly get forgotten. He could be a nice change of pace. I saw that he's also athletic and outdoorsy, so maybe they bond over that and meet on the grounds somewhere?

Ooh, Indi and Weston and could be interesting. On one hand, some of her meanness could go over his head. On the other hand, if it doesn't, he can be very sensitive. But yes, he will want to be her friend upon first meeting her. Did you have any ideas as to where you want them to meet?

 

[Lillian Lockwood]

Hi Jess!

And if Jordie does decide on guitar, Weston would be happy to give tips if asked. Did you have any preference as to where/how they meet?

Yesssss. Jordie is bound to head to the arts room pretty quickly, they could meet up there? Message me and we can talk details.

 

[Eoin Armati]

But I'm also happy to do something where Harper starts off the thread not knowing! The common room sounds perfect, do you want to start something or should I?

Yes yes and yes I am totally down for this trio of Claw boys being friends and don't worry about the first impressions, Eoin'll probably warm up more the more he actually has to put up with everyone else But I'm down for just seeing how the current thread goes and moving on from there the further into the year we get.

As for Harper + Flynn, yeah it probably would get out eventually, but Flynn is trying his hardest just to not mention it to anyone and let anyone see that anything is wrong for at least as long as he can. But yeah something in the common room would be great and I totally don't mind who starts it, If you wanna do it then you can, but if not then I can do it.

 

[Harper Alston]

Oh good, because they're stuck together for the next seven years

Fair enough, I'll have Harper start off not knowing. If you could start the thread, that'd be great. Just tag me when it's up!

 

[Poppy Perkins]

I've seen Nikko around and think he's a really cool character. Would definitely love to throw him and Harper together and see what happens.

Oh nice! Well I think Nikko and Harper could probably meet on the lawn or something, they start kicking a ball around and it turns competitive. Maybe?

And as for Indi and Weston, maybe she could be reading somewhere and he interrupts her? And we can see where it goes from there.

Let me know if those sound good or if you have any ideas, and I can start one.

Both those ideas sound good to me! I could start Nikko + Harper if you want to do Indi + Weston? Or vice versa

 

[Poppy Perkins]

Perfect! I'll send you a link when it's up!

 

[Chloe Thompson]

Yes to Chloë + Harper as friends (and possible mentor/mentees)! They seemed to get along well, and I think they actually have quite a few similarities personality-wise.

Also this is verrrrry early but I saw that Chloë wants to be an auror, and that's one of the careers Harper will be considering later down the line, but maybe it could be Chloë who plants the idea in her head?

Would also love it if Isaiah called him out whenever he acted like a self-absorbed idiot; maybe he'll actually grow. Any preference for where/when (during the break or after school starts) they meet?

Starting with the trampoline sounds good! Also Chloë could totally plant that idea in her head at some point.

Perhaps we could do like a short one with Isaiah and Weston before school and then once school starts do another one but then at least they already sort of know each other? I'd be cool with starting one if you want to do the other?

That all sounds good to me! I could do Isaiah + Weston somewhere in Obsidian Harbour if you want to start Chloë + Harper? Or vice versa, I'm not fussed And then we can figure out other threads later on

 

[Samuel Phillips]

Anna!

Yes, yes, yes to everything! Weston absolutely wants to meet Pascal after that grand entrance at the sorting ceremony. And it'd be fun to see them play music together, so definitely happy to start out with them meeting and bonding over that. I could also see some potential conflict at first while Weston adjusts to the learning curve of playing rhythm as back up ("what do you mean I can't just go off on my own riffs?"). Also love the idea of Pascal being annoyed and a bit rude at first, especially since Weston will not take that well and will grow convinced that Pascal hates him. But Weston should hopefully mature after a bit and maybe they'll become closer, especially if Pascal grows to be more patient with him.

Ooh yes I love this!! If Weston ever went off and played a riff as Pascal was singing Pascal would be v annoyed. I also love the idea of them possibly having a confrontation/chat about Weston thinking Pascal hates him, and Pascal feels awful about it, cause he wouldn't hate him but would just be annoyed sometimes, and I think later on in school as they mature that conversation/communication would be really good for them.

Do you want to start an rp for them or should I?

 

[Chloe Thompson]

That all sounds good to me! I could do Isaiah + Weston somewhere in Obsidian Harbour if you want to start Chloë + Harper? Or vice versa, I'm not fussed And then we can figure out other threads later on

Sure! I'll add it to my list

Do you want to start an rp for them or should I?

Ahaha, yes, learning to communicate is definitely something Weston needs to doI'm really looking forward to these two!

If you could start it, that'd be great. Just tag Weston when it's up
