Digging Deeper
[i]Personality: Determined, resilient, intelligent, strong, compassionate, courageous, and loyal... but also insecure, sometimes prone to jealousy (although she never acts on it), and quick-tempered.
[i]Likes: School, caring for and meeting magical creatures, exploring the campus (especially forbidden parts), Quidditch, soccer, equitation, reading, and writing.
[i]Dislikes: Unfair opposition/authority, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, walking through ghosts on campus, and arguing with friends.
[i]Fears: Permanent isolation, breaking someone's trust, letting down the people she loves, not being 'brave enough' to be in Gryffindor (as a result she does reckless things to prove her bravery to herself).
[i]History: Juniper grew up in muggle America to strict Christian parents who, when she began displaying more obvious powers at the age of seven, disowned her and sent her to Oxford England to live with her aunt, the only person who was willing to take her in. Her aunt, unmarried, buses tables at "The Eagle and the Child", a pub which had enough fame and popularity to keep her and Juno on their feet. Teased for her American accent and magical affinity, Juniper became disconnected from her schoolmates and took to exploring her powers and the world around her. She traveled back to America once to visit her newborn sister, but was turned away by her parents without even being allowed to hold her only sibling. Shunned by her parents, grandparents, and almost every other family member, her only solace is with her aunt, who she deeply cares about and fervently wishes to make proud. She also rides horses and takes lessons at her aunt's friend's stables. When she received her Hogwarts Letter, she initially did not want to leave her aunt, but now she has come to adore Hogwarts and everything it offers her.

[InsidiousFlair]

@ronweasley Welcome back!


@WitchHazel Also, when will the Sorting Ceremony phase be over?

[WitchHazel]

Very soon - I'm planning on ending it next time I post since I believe most of the first years and transfers have been sorted c:

Sorry for lack in replies; like I mentioned earlier, I was at orientation. I'll try to get something up tonight even though I'm exhausted

[whirlawind]

Sorry I vanished guys! We are flying to Texas tomorrow (a 12+ hour flight) so I've been busy the past three days packing and stuff. I'll get a spot up tonight and should have normal posts daily after that.

[Chamrosh]

I'm assuming that the nighttime wanderings that characters are mentioning are actually going to happen on all counts for this but; is anyone else up for Evangeline and Juno running into Venus and Atticus on a nighttime wander on the first night of the year?
Because I am.

[InsidiousFlair]

@ Chamrosh
Totally. I'd love for my character to meet them! Evangeline needs some exposure, after all hahaha. I'm sure it'll be cool with capailluisce, but we'll see what she says.

[capalluisce]

@Chamrosh
I was just thinking something like that should happen! Yup, that's definitely fine by me!

[Threeofhearts]

I could swear there is a website that describes all the wand cores and materials. Anyone know of it?
