Yes, we are sticking the newbies in the same thread out of laziness. Please give them both love. <3

THE NEWBIES

Howell Howell

36 | Slytherin Dropout | WCHB |  Rep 9 | Head Dragonkeeper at Avalon Glen Like an odd cross between Conall and Evander, Howell likes dragons, and the countryside, and Not Talking. He will probably be a weirdo in threads. But I'm sure he'll be a whole bundle of fun. Anyway, he could use: ❧ Work connections— Other dragonkeepers. Magizoologists and people who are interested in a creature career. DR&CMC employees. Yarwoods, etc. People with uses for dragon-related products, e.g. dragon heartstring; dragon hide; things for potion ingredients; dragon dung fertiliser for herbologists/avid gardeners, etc. ❧ Market regulars— Howell also sells specialty dragon milk cheese at the market. There might be some Familiar Faces from there? He could also go for a knitting club. ❧ Friends People he doesn't hate— Primarily working class. He only spent a few months at Hogwarts in 1867, in Slytherin. He got homesick and left soon after to work on the family farm. ❧ ...Romance? Does Howell have any romantic history? Does he have any romantic future? Any inclinations at all? Well, he hasn't told me yet, so, uh... open to left field suggestions here, just to see? I make no promises.

Vanity Wakefield (APPLICATION)

19 | Hufflepuff | MCPB |  Rep 7 | Governess One of Clara Wakefield's slew of adopted daughters, Vanity is no good at being left alone. She was pampered as a child and then beaten down by life, and though she works as a governess she secretly dreams about finding a place in society in her own right. She needs: ❧ Wakefields— She joined the family at age six and took a while to fit in, but is probably ride-or-die with most of the girls now, even if they started off shakily? If they're close, Vanity will ask for your opinion on almost everything. She's needy. xD ❧ Schoolmates— ^ The same goes for any friends she made. She started at Hogwarts in 1885, was a Hufflepuff, and left after OWLs. Her electives were Ancient Studies and Divination, and she also took Art & Music. ❧ Local children/Bartonburg neighbours— She did some ad-hoc teaching/child-minding for pre-Hogwarts aged kids in Hogsmeade in the past couple of years. ❧ Prewetts— In January she's starting work at Faustus & Malou's! Anyone who might have reason to visit there or interact with Faustus' children, hit me up >D ❧ Hurls— If Vanity can get out of governessing by getting married, she absolutely will. The problem is meeting eligible men while she's working all the time. (Well, and the rest of it, but first things first. xD) Most likely MCAB men of any kind! She's more interested in security than passion.

Hi! Ford technically works in DR&CMC but his job is as far removed from dragons as possible.

I have no reason for them to interact but consider: Howell + Alfred?

Vanity: Clara is available for anything, always. I also have a small collection of MC men though they aren't looking... actually a small collection is a duo apparently, I forget how small my roster is. XD anyway, Ford and Xavier Davies if either interest you.

Set by Lady!

FOR HOWELL

Kentigern MacFusty obviously XD
Pablo Medina as well!

FOR VANITY
Avarice Wakefield obviously, would love for them to be super close!
Wallace Bixby, Aristide Selwyn and Cane Backus would have been in her year.
Aleksei Nichols was in her house and year.
I also have a bunch of people who were in the year below her including Darling Whitledge who was also in her house.

  

HOWELL
Eugene works in DR&CMC, and you know there's his fiancée who happens to be a MacFusty :P

Eva for magizoology contacts!

Also uh, Sloane sorta likes his job, you know, if quidditch flunks, maybe come summer she's a pesky pixie floating around the Glen for some interning?

Maybe Quin on the market front? I can see him needing cheese for weird reasons, alright?

VANITY

wow I have nothing >C I will think harder...

For Howell:

I have Delilah who is an avid gardener and takes it very seriously.
Gus 100% would have tried to keep a baby dragon from the Hogwarts fiasco andd... well, that obviously wouldn't end well for him lol. Do with that as you will.

For Vanity:
I have Reg, who 's UC for a potential hurl? He's not super interested in marriage now that Anthony is back.
June was a year below her, but I don't see them being friends.

— WELCOME TO AVALON GLEN - Here Be Dragons —
mj is an artiste ♡

For Vanity:

I would love to see what the interactions between her and Malou would be.

Also I believe Dahlia was a year above her in Hufflepuff and would love for a friendship to have formed. @"Anandhita Pomfrey" was her year (I think) aand also Hufflepuff so I'm cool with a friendship there too.

Annnnd for hurls I have Somersby Fudge.

Also if she wanted to crush on a frequent house guest I have Felix Prewett

Pretties by Bee <3

HALLO

VANITY
I have your employer. Threads pls <3

I also have your sister. Moar threads pls <3 I feel like we've chatted about their rapport a bit more, but I can see Mal liking Vanity - also potentially dragging her into a few situations at Hogwarts that might get her in trouble xD

HOWELL
Like Bee said, I have a MacFusty that I could see liking Howell, she's got relatives who are likely equally if not more grumpy than him. And she's good with dragons, so that must be a plus at least? xDD

And then regular Hogsmeade goers at the market would be Irene or Adrienne. Adrienne I feel like would mostly just say hi and make small talk, and Irene might be a bit more open/friendly. If she saw a picture of his dragons, she might try and paint on and give it to him as a present since she's just told me that she needs to work on painting more magical creatures into her landscapes :P

  

For Howell possibly Steliana Nicolescu could seek him out for dragon things (perhaps arranging for one of the mini dragons to be used for a lesson in CoMC) For the moment I can't think of anybody else...

Vanity I have Wrath Wakefield of course. I think they would have bonded well, so totally open for threads between them.

For hurling I offer Walter, he's from Working Class but as an Auror I think it gives him a little more appeal, given he has a well paying steady job (though dangerous).

LYNN: Fortitude Greengrass
Oooh I feel like he would like Alfred, as much as he actively likes anyone? Maybe potential for them to meet through Pablo when Alfred comes home next! And yes Aunt Clara, Vanity will come back to visit often and probably when she needs advice in a crisis <3

KIT: Clarissa Cosgrove
YES Tiger. I'm picturing longstanding acquaintances / "work" friends where Howell probably just nods and says two words to him, but in his head they're best friends. Also if Pablo would like to visit the Glen for magizoology reasons, feel freeeeee.
I would also love Ava/Vanity things, agreed on super close. Re: Vanity schoolmates, her muse was most about Aristide of the boys, and I think she could have been friendly with Aleksei maybe? I feel like they have ~calm energy and seem like a good listener so she could chat about girl problems & governess problems without fear of judgement?? Also would have liked Darling!

BEE: @"Daffodil Potts"
Yes I expect he comes across Eugene every once in a while in the Beast division. He also has an interest in crups so might need licences for that kinda stuff. Plus the dragons, obviously.
Yes to Eva and LOL Sloane is always welcome to intern (he says no, but if he can deal with Gwyn he can deal with Sloane) xD
"needing cheese for weird reasons" made me giggle, but also now I want that thread.

GIN: Gus Lissington
Well whenever Delilah wants dragon dung fertiliser, he's gotchu girl. Also potions supplies. And omg Gus <3 Disaster waiting to happen, Howell has no patience for getting people out scrapes when they're of their depths with dragons. xD
And baha yes Vanity would be intimidated by June, but she might be nosy about Reg. Her sister works for the DP as well so there might be room to meet through that!

FALLIN: Sisse Thompsett
I will start a thread for Malou! <3
Vanity would probably like Dahlia and Ani both, they both seem suitably sweet and proper so, yes please friendly xD
I am into hurling at Somersby, aaaand I would love her to meet Felix through the Prewetts... she will either have an awkward crush or want to set him up with her sister/his coworker Malice rofl.

LADY: Faustus Prewett
I can also start a thread for Faustus! <3
See comments above: re anyone who works at the Prophet, so yes I will also want Mal threads in my life. Vanity will be the anxious rule-follower to your troublemaker xD
Howell says Tilda is acceptable, so I guess that's high praise. I'm sure he's rocked up to creature-induced injuries once or twice in his time.
Adrienne is welcome to smalltalk even if Howell says nothing back, and I could see him developing an eccentric friendship with Irene if she's persistently friendly enough. <3#

LDYPAYNE: Walter Staghart
Steliana and Howell could definitely discuss dragon-related COMC lesson things!!
Mentioned in Wrath's networking too but yesss they were fellow Hufflepuffs so I'd love sisterly things.
I think Vanity's a little too snobby to go for anyone working class, but she might try and set him up with a sister haha. Howell is around his age though if they met for any reasons, so miiiight potentially become friends?
