{Riley's Plotter [6] Characters}

[Deleted]

JAMES KAMINSKI SEVENTH YEAR HUFFLEPUFF James is a Hufflepuff who fits pretty much every Hufflepuff characteristic there is, and anyone who known him knows that it's the only house that he could ever belong in.  He's tries his best in classes, though he's not exceptional. He passed most of his OWLs with 'Acceptable's and the occasional 'Exceeds Expectations' - no fail grades, but no 'Outstanding' grades either. He considers himself a pretty average student, and that's good enough for him.  James may not be the overly outgoing sort who spends time with crowds of people, but he's by no means shy. Friendship is important to him, and maintaining those friendships even more so. He'd much prefer to spend time will a small group of friends than a large group of acquaintances. He has a habit of turning up to various school clubs, too, because it's an excuse to meet people he wouldn't otherwise talk to.  James will take the time out of his day to talk to anyone who wants to talk, or help anyone who needs help. Unlike some, he's pretty good at dealing with emotional stuff, and he's open with his own feelings most of the time. James won't by anyone but himself, and he certainly won't act like someone else to get attention from a girl. That's one thing he really can't understand - the way he sees it, if you don't like him for who he is, then it's not meant to be. In terms of relationships, James probably comes across as more 'cute' than 'hot', but again, he'll only be himself, and no one else. Once he's in, he's in, and he'd much rather something long term than something short-lived. Relationships:; ✘ @amelia - a friend when one is needed ✘ @hanna - club buddy? ✘ AUGUSTINE A. COREY - reality check friend ✘ ALTHEA SILVERSTAR - passing friends ✘ Raphael lives for fun and having a good time. He's the sort who will frequently sneak out to Hogsmeade on an evening for a drink, and probably bring some back to hide under his bed, too. He loves parties and drinking, and anything that constitutes a darn good time. He loves Quidditch, too, and will do pretty much anything for the team - even if it means saying no a party and alcohol (and for him, that's a big commitment). It's one of the few things he is actually committed to, and can be mature about. When it comes to school work, Raphael is definitely not on the most-talented list, and he's never going to be the best at anything school related. Truthfully, he's the sort to turn up to class without his wand, because he just doesn't care enough. Sometimes he feels like he forgets that magic actually exists, because he's more likely the do something by hand that by magic... In third year he opted to take 'easy' subjects, like Herbology, Divination, Muggle Studies, History of Magic, etc - subjects that require little effort and little wand work as far as he's concerned. The only 'easy' lesson he didn't choose, was Astronomy, because he values his nights too much. He'd much rather sneak out to a party that sit around looking at stars at night. There's only one reason he'll go up that tower, and it sure ain't for the lesson! For the most part, Raphael is a really fun-loving guy with a carefree attitude, but he can be a bit on the annoying side, especially if he's bored. He's the sort that you either love or you hate, but whatever you choose, it doesn't bother him. A lot of the time, Raphael can be found drinking, and when he's had a drink he generally doesn't know how to respect social boundaries and can be very in-your-face, though he's usually in fits of giggles anyway, so it's all good. Once he's completely smashed, he tends to forget that people are split into male/female, and sees only human, so there have certainly been been a few instances where he's woke next to some dude with absolutely no recollection of how it happened. He's learned to just roll with it. Relationships:; ✘ @hanna - constant wind up! ✘ AUGUSTINE A. COREY - Quidditch battle! ✘ RICKARD MAGNUSSEN - curious encounter?  ✘ ✘ RAPHAEL DANE SIXTH YEAR HUFFLEPUFF CANDY MCKENNA SEVENTH YEAR SLYTHERIN Candy is a metamorphmagus and a highly ambitious Slytherin. She has big aims for the future, though she's torn between two job paths that really interest her. She wants to do well, and she loves to take each and every opportunity presented to her as a chance to improve herself, and also help others. She comes across as being quite quiet most of the time, but she's the silently confident sort. At least when it comes to work and leadership, and all those kinds of things. Body confidence? Even as a metamorph she never feels comfortable in her own skin. She doesn't have complete control over her morphing abilities and hopes to practice and improve, but that comes second to her studies.  Candy can come across as more friendly and sociable that a lot of Slytherins are, but she's capable to switching 180 and being as cold and harsh as the next snake. She's proud of her house and despises anyone in it who reflects badly on it, and has no qualms with stepping in and giving them a piece of her mind.  She's quite innovative, and likes to set things up around the school to get people involved and joining in, and quite often she brings in a potions aspect, since she has a particular affinity for the subject.  Candy will probably talk to just about anyone, regardless of house or blood, but if you interrupt her while she's absorbed in something she's likely to snap first, apologize later. As far as relationships, Candy may be confident enough with talking to people, but she'd feel absolutely clueless about how to react around someone who expressed an interest. Relationships:; ✘ AUGUSTINE A. COREY - unexpected blossoming friendship ✘ ALTHEA SILVERSTAR - frenemies turned friends? ✘ ✘ ✘ Dorian has been teaching Arithmancy at Hogwarts for three years now, but while he has always had a keen interest in the subject, he did not expect nor plan to go into teaching. A number of unexpected twists in his life landed him in the role. Dorian was still young when he first fell in love and everything seemed to be blissful - happy, engaged, planning the future... then one day she left. No word, no warning - bags packed and gone, not a whisper since. To say that Dorian is angry, frustrated and confused would be an understatement. Everything had been perfect, and now he's left with a hundred burning questions, and no answers about what happened or what went so wrong. In the three years that have since passed, he hasn't been able to get what happened off his mind, and certainly hasn't even considered looking elsewhere or considering anyone else. Until he gets the answers he needs, he probably won't start.  Dorian threw himself into his work and his job, and at the start of this year, his third year working there, took over the role of Head of Ravenclaw house. The extra responsibility has been helpful in keeping him occupied and his mind off the past.  He'll talk to any student who wishes to talk to him, and if he thinks anything is wrong with a student, he'll be first to ask them if everything is alright, but Dorian knows where the line between professional and friend blurs, and respects the boundaries that are in place. Relationships:; ✘ FELIX FAIRBOURNE - work pals of a sort? ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ DORIAN WINSTON TWENTY-SIX ARITHMANCY PROFESSOR SVEN ZALENSKI THIRTY-TWO DEP'T OF MYSTERIES Sven moved around a lot. He was born in Ukraine and lived there until he was four, until his father 'stole' him and took him to Russia where he lived for two years until his mother eventually 'stole' him back. She fled to her parents home in Poland where they stayed for six months until Sven's father caught up with them, and the pair ran again, landing in Romania, safely hidden from Sven's father.  He studied in Durmstrang school, Bulgaria, but when the uprisings started to kick off and anti-creature feelings grew, others at the school started to turn again him. Sven's father was turned into a Vampire shortly after Sven's birth, which a big part of the reason his mother kept them running. Either way, Sven dislikes his mother for their constant running and his disjointed childhood, and he dislikes his father for the trouble him being a vampire has caused him throughout his school life. After finishing school, Sven went straight out on his own, living in Estonia, Russia and Norway, before finally moving to the UK when he was 22. He took up a job in the Department of Mysteries when he was 23, and only a few years later used Legilimency to manipulate his way into the role of Department Head, after the previous one admitted his intentions to retire. For the most part, Sven keeps himself to himself and doesn't go out of his way to be sociable. He does what he needs to do but a lot of his 'relationships' are a front, he has no desire to actually form any kind of attachment to people. There are no doubt a few who can break though his defenses and be considered a friend, but Sven has a tendency to keep people at arms length. Relationships:; ✘ KAY DILLON - ministry acquaintances  ✘ ALDEN GIBBS - hate at first sight ✘ FELIX FAIRBOURNE - old ministry acquaintance? ✘ RICKARD MAGNUSSEN - hate / difference of opinions ✘ FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - something unusual ✘ ✘ Alma is  DORY LARKSPUR EMORY's younger sister. She's much more confident than her sister, and has come to embrace her veela nature and learned to use it to her advantage. She can be quiet and studious when she wants to be, but also loud and outgoing when the mood strikes. She certainly isn't one to hide away in the shadows, and likes getting attention, to a point. She can be as much of a girly-girl as she wants to be, loving fashion, dance, art, and everything, but she was also push all that aside and get her hands dirty so long as whatever it involves is fun. She cares about her grades to an extent, but if she drops a grade on a test once or twice, it's no biggie.  She dreams of doing something huge. She wants to be remembered for something awesome, just doesn't know what that something can be yet. Either way, she just knows she wants to achieve it some way or another, and she'll figure it out when it gets to her. For now, she needs to get through school. Alma has a short fuse and quite the temper, stemming from her veela heritage, and once you're in her bad book you better be prepared to beg and grovel and plead before she'll even consider letting you back in her good graces, but even then, your chances are slim.  Because of her veela blood, Alma is stunningly beautiful, something she likes to exploit with fashion and makeup, and of course, a touch of personality. She gets a lot of attention from the opposite sex, whether they intend it or not, because that's what the lure of veela blood does. She likes to attention to a point, but sometimes it gets crazy and obsessive and she feels a bit trapped. Relationships:; ✘ DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - sister dearest ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ ALMA EMORY FIFTH YEAR GRYFFINDOR

 

[ALTHEA SILVERSTAR]

James & Althea
I’m pretty sure since they’re in the same year that they would know each other, and Althea’s a chaser for Gryffindor so James might even always have something to say about her team . I could see them being friends just not sure how close they would be

Raphael & Althea
Not sure about these two, they both play quidditch so possible friendly rivalry?

Candy & Althea
Possible Frenemies? Or we could switch things up and have them as fairly good friends, Althea’s fairly friendly and doesn’t care much for house rivalry. She wouldn’t have much against slytherins as her older brother is a Slytherin alumni.

Dorian & Althea
Not sure at all as Althea doesn’t take ancient ruins

Dorian & Kay
Ermm well Kay’s 3 years younger than Dorian, maybe they know each other from their days at Hogwarts?

Sven & Kay
Well Kay and Sven both work in the ministry so they most likely would run into each other every now and then.

Dorian & Alden
Well they would have been in the same year at Hogwarts but I doubt they would have been friends, Alden is fairly anti-social so unless Dorian is very persistent they’ll probably just be associates

Sven & Alden
For some reason I can just imagine these two hating each other. Alden works for the ministry as a consultant, so basically is called in when any of the departments are stumped about something. He’s very perceptive of human behaviour so generally annoys all those he meets. I vote it was hate at first sight

NOW INCLUDES ALMA!!!

[Deleted]

JAMES && ALTHEA
James is the sort who'll stop and talk to anyone, so I they could get away with being kind of passing friends, rather than actual friend-friends, if that makes sense. They get along well enough to be able to whole a conversation or whatever, but if they didn't talk to each other in a while it wouldn't be a big deal - they don't actively seek each other out to talk to. If it happens, it happens spontaneously.

RAPHAEL && ALTHEA
That works. Probably bumped into each other on the pitch a time or two and battled it out for a bit of fun. Althea is also an living breathing human, so pretty much fits all the requirements for being someone Raphael would flirt with... 

CANDY && ALTHEA
Hmm... possibly started out as frenemies and realized there was really nothing to be enemies about, and sort of just accepted they could be friends without having to pretend to dislike each other? 

DORIAN && ALTHEA
Arithmancy ;P

DORIAN && KAY
That works. What house was he is? Was he a Ravenclaw? They'd have known each other from being in the same house, if he was...

SVEN && KAY
Makes sense! Not too sure on a plot idea that could really throw them together... unless you have any ideas?

DORIAN && ALDEN
What house was Alden in?  Again, if he was Ravenclaw, then they probably would know each other, otherwise probably not so much. Dorian was quite a different person back in his school days to who he is now, so...  

SVEN && ALDEN
Hate at first sight. Sounds perfect. He seems exactly like the sort of person Sven would want to roll his eyes at and tell to shove it. I'm not sure how often the Department of Mysteries would want to call in a consultant, though... Hmm...

---

And since she's now here, I'm going to add this one:

ALMA && ALTHEA
They're two years apart, but same house and both on the Quidditch team. Alma can be a bit of a spit-fire at times, but really quiet at others. Once you're in her bad books you're pretty stuck there, but otherwise she can be a really loyal friend.
