RAVENCLAW | 6th YEAR | SINGLE | CHASER
Genevieve has gone through somewhat of a large change in just one year. She used to be known school-wide as the amusing, witty, somewhat trickster of a girl. Until her brothers both left the school and times in the Wizarding World have created a nearly completely different 6th year Ravenclaw girl. She's quiet, sometimes a little too proud, accused of being anti-social but will occasionally burst out of her shell if only to be riled up about something or other. She's quite a confusing person to know, seeming to be fighting with two sides of herself-- reserved and timid versus loud and full of laughter. Which, in a way, she is.
For Genevieve, it almost feels as if she's a 1st year all over again, in need of making completely new friends since hers already graduated. Perhaps she should stick with friends in her own year, or around that, but of course it's a little too late for that. Also, she finds a hard time of getting to know new people, especially lately as her highly social self has seemed to take a nap. She is completely unaware of how to make people talk to her, and she will often push them away within the first five seconds by accidentally blurting out every honest thing she wants to say (even if it's hurtful). It's to remain safe. She doesn't know who to trust, who's on who's side. But she's getting tired of it. She just needs someone who will be willing to push past the barrier and into the Gena that is currently fighting to get out of the rough exterior.
Naturally anyone can say that every single person around one is the enemy, and you are your only ally. It's safe to stick with that notion, but sometimes that grows deeper. Gena despises Voldemort. He has killed so many innocent people, has destroyed the lives of those he leaves alive, and there is no way she will ever gravitate towards understanding his followers. Meaning, almost every single Slytherin within Hogwarts. She's won a few enemies here and there during her years here at Hogwarts, mostly from those who didn't appreciate her old self. And those now who know her as 'prideful', many don't like her.
Genevieve's never had time for love. She was a bit of a tomboy when her brothers were around, and grew to be mates with many of their friends who were also boys. As a result, she has no idea how to act around a guy should he choose to fancy her (as if that's possible!) and therefore will become supremely awkward and shy away from any advances. She doesn't mean ill by it, she just doesn't know how to act around those boys.

Caitria&Gena: Oooh, somehow Cait just poked me and said she'd like to show this girl how to have a good time again. Cait is blunt and sometimes even a little mean because she just can't keep inside what she thinks. But if she ever witnessed Gena's old Snape impressions she'd feel some sort of respect for her! I was thinking: Zhey both have scars on their hands from Umbridge's evil quill, so maybe Cait would see it, read it and be bold enough to ask what on earth she did to receive such a sentence. And so maybe once they talk they could get better acquainted? Jed&Gena: Alright, so she's quite pretty, and she's in the same year and house. He might have even tried to flirt with her once, but since you said she's awkward around advsnces ... we might have two scenarios to choose from: 1. he feels challanged and just tries over and over again to make her blush and awkward (cause he's a jerk and likes his ego to be caressed) or 2. he gives up and just gets very casual What would you like?

Caitria&Gena: Goodness gracious! I love those ideas! ;D They almost seem like they might get alone if Gena can learn to break out of her safety shell and if Cait could help that along, that'd be great!!! I also like hte starter of their knowing each other. Very good idea!! Approved for sure! ;D Jed&Gena: Eeeeeeee!! I knew it, I just knew he'd find her!! Haha, I love all those ideas and options! Goodness, so good to choose easily! Let's see...we might have way more fun with his repeated attempts, it would be fun to explore what she might do with just how many times he attempts to make her blush and feel awkward. That might be hilarious fun! Soooo, option number 1 sounds just amazing!

Cait&Gena:
Oh, I love this xD Cait will surely try her best to make Gena cheer up! Now we only have to check the place and who starts xD
Jed&Gena: Yaaay! Option 1 it is then! It would also help they've been playing Quidditch together as Chasers for some time (how could I forget!) I doubt there'd be Quidditch games during the Death Eater reign though, so... maybe they could meet up randomly in the Common Room, and he'd start out a flirty conversation about the pity they're not playing together anymore?

Cait&Gena: Awesome! I'm looking forward to this! Hmm, well they could meet up in the library. Gena's spends a lot of her time reading and studying (typical Ravenclaw ) Soooo maybe that'd work out since Cait's headed towards her NEWTS? I can give it a start! I'll have the thread posted hopefully by tomorrow! Jed&Gena: OH you're right!! Chasers unite! But yeah, that'd be a bit called off so yeees, that's perfect! Haha I can so picture all this happening, and I cannot wait to start that off! Sadly I have busy-ness to get up to right now so you're free to start the thread if you'd like. If not, I wouldn't mind! =)

Amaranth & Genevieve
Amaranth is a first year and rather shy and also a werewolf. It could be interesting if Amaranth and Genevieve had an encounter with a boggart, maybe? Amaranth isn't too good at social situations and is likely to be worried about everything that is said, so they could be an interesting pair.
Adrian & Genevieve You mentioned that she was known as 'somewhat trickster of a girl' and Adrian enjoys tricking and pranking people (Especially if it has a cause) and they are both in the same house. So it might be something that they could talk about.

Cassidy & Gena
What can I say, Gena is Cassidy's kind of girl! They share a lot of the same interests and likes (the countryside, baking, tea, horse riding) and, like Gena, Cassidy is studious and hates to be shown up in front of others (she gets embarrassed very easily). They could possibly know each other already (I see Gena loves Charms, Cassidy is pretty accomplished in that class but it's not her strongest subject - maybe Gena helped Cass out with a particularly challenging spell?) or if you'd prefer they could meet soon, either through Caitria or by another means - maybe they could get talking about horses? It might take Cass a little while to get used to Gena's bluntness but she could really come to count Gena as one of her friends, in time. What say you?

Laria & Gena
Gena may be quite reserved now but Laria is bubbly and talkative. They're in the same year so they would know each other to some degree already, would you like them to already be friends? Perhaps they've known each other from first year, back when Gena was her old feisty self? Laria would obviously have noticed the change in her friend but she wouldn't think less of Gena for it - she might try to draw Gena back out of her shell though. Laria tends to be pretty blunt so Gena's tendency to blurt things out wouldn't phase her in the slightest. Or, if you prefer, they could only meet now - Laria could take a seat beside Gena in the Common Room and just start talking, as she is wont to do. Let me know what you think.

I'm SO sorry I didn't see these until now, you lovely people, you! Amaranth&Gena: Aww, I love that idea! Amaranth sounds like a sweetheart, and whoa! Since she's a werewolf, that could stir up much plottery! I'd love to thread that! It would definitely take a little while for Genevieve to trust Amaranth after knowing she was a werewolf, but I can see them becoming very good friends after that happens. =) We could definitely start off with a little action having Genevieve happen upon Amaranth in werewolf form. Dramaaaa! ;-) -- Adrian&Genevieve: I LOVE that immensely. He sounds like a total cutie, I think that after Gena opened up to the boy (if he had heard around the common room that she used to be a trickster, he might take to trying to get her to admit it or something ) they could be quite a pair, for sure! Love! Maybe after a little while Gena and Adrian can form a relationship a bit like siblings, since Genevieve's never been a big sister! But of course that's up to you! They could meet in the Great Hall during a meal or in the common room while Gena's studying. =) -- Cassidy&Gena:Oh goodness they do have much in common! I can see them becoming friends quite easily! I love the idea of Charms tutoring! Gena might be a little too excited that someone wants to learn from her, so she might be a little demanding at first, but she does warm up to people! They COULD meet through Caitria, for sure! If not, they could just meet by happenstance and strike up conversation over a Charms book or something of that sort. -- Laria&Gena: One, can I say that's a really cool name, Laria! =) Ohhh knowing each other already sounds divine! Gena needs some friends right now since most of hers have already graduated, so Laria being around to help her back to her old self would be awesome! =) Haha, I do love her open attitude, and would love to see how it went if they were just meeting that way, but I quite like the idea of friends. Same year, same house, it does make sense! =)

Amaranth & Gena Well, I was thinking that they could meet a boggart and thus Amaranth finds out that Gena is scared of werewolves and thus gets really worried. Not sure what would happen if Gena met a werewolf Amaranth, I don't believe she would have the wolfsbane potion. But that could be a lot of drama. She could see Amaranth sneaking off at night, I guess and follow and then Amaranth has to warn her. (Amaranth would probably sneak off as many hours as possible before the full moon.)
Gena & Adrian I can imagine him trying to get Gena to admit it, especially using tricks. I think that would work more in the Common Room, but could get hilarious in the Great Hall, if he's trying to play tricks on her and has to be rather discret. And I like the siblings idea, Adrian is a bit jealous of his siblings.

Cassidy & Gena:Yay! Let's go for meeting by happenstance. Any preference on where we start? Laria & GenaHee hee, I'm glad you like the name. It does make perfect sense that they'd be friends already so let's roll with that. It'll be interesting to see what they both make of the DA. Laria is neutral at the moment but knows that, seeing as she doesn't want Voldemort to be victorious, she really ought to join the resistance. It might take a while but I think she'll get there in the end and it'll certainly give them something to talk about. ^^

Amaranth & Gena: Ohh that's also a good plan. Dunno how many boggarts are running around lately, but it isn't unbelievable that they'd find one. =) We could start off with that and see where it takes us, just go from there. The surprise effect is always the best. ;-) We could either start off by just a simple meeting, or they could meet over encountering this boggart. Hmm, where would one find a boggart in Hogwarts? =) -- Gena & Adrian Very nice! He sounds like a darling! =) Oh yes, they are bound to get along quite well! Alrighty common room is grand if it works better! Either way is fine with me! -- Cassidy & Gena: Woot!! Excited here! We could give it a try in the Great Hall during day time, when it's not as full or something of that sort. =) -- Laria & Gena: Ohhh I like that idea! I think it might help them finally push themselves into accepting the resistance, seeing as they'd both be new and going in it with each other might help their decision. =P Random thought: how about for a change they meet up in the Owlery or The Clock Tower. Genevieve likes to go there sometimes to be alone with her thoughts, so maybe Laria would know to come looking there? Just a thought! =)

Ammaranth & Gena Well I imagine a boggart would be hidding in a cupboard. Maybe one is making a lot of noise and they go to investigate? I could start a thread if you want.
Adrian & Gena He can be sweet. And I don't know the Common Room password, so should we go with the Great Hall over something like breakfast. Do you want to start the thread or shall I?

Cassidy & GenaExcellent, I'll get a topic started in the Great Hall as soon as I can (maybe even tonight, if I'm lucky). Laria & GenaEither of these options sounds good to me, so just go with wherever you think Gena would prefer to be. I'll let you start this one, if you don't mind. Then Laria will come looking for her.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HOW SORRY I AM FOR NOT BEING ACTIVE!! ----- Amaranth&Gena: Sounds amazing! Considering I'm so late to reply, I'm not sure if you've already gone ahead and started said thread, but if you have thank yooou! And I will reply asap! Adrian&Gena: You need to PM a staff member, silly! But if you want to have it in the Common Room, I do have the password so I could start it there or in the Great Hall. I might prefer it in the Great Hall anyway, because it's a different place to meet people! I'll go ahead and start one since you're starting the other one! Will post it asap! ------------ Cass&Gena: I've started reading your amazing thread starter and I cannot WAIT to reply! Thank you for posting it, and I do apologize for taking this long to reply to everything. *Sigh* I'm horrible, I know. Laria&Gena: Awesome, okay! I'll get that started ASAP!!
