Did You Know?
One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn

Hello, this is Kelly. I'm an old soul on this sight. *sighs in grandparent* Reading has been a big part of my life for a long time, and ever since discovering RPing, it has been a lot of fun. I do wish to be a writer, though it is very hard, because writing is quite difficult. Ever since I was little, I loved the movies, as well as TV. Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood, and I still love the magical world despite the evil wench who made it.

If you need to (or want to) contact me, you can either do so through PMing my main account (Sweetie Whitledge) or through my Discord, which you can get by asking me! You can also comment on here. I don't mind chatting, especially about TV shows, movies, and books.


Needs are ~

Charming 10k 2025 is Here

Sweetie Whitledge is my contender! I shall need responses from any thread partners, perhaps a willing participant for a rapid-fire or two, and I shall be haunting my fellow Whitledge and Patton clan for Journal Entry goodness for the past several years that she hasn't been keeping up with because Sweetie is a journaling beast and this is her time to shine.

Belladonna Ravencrest is Single — Open to UCPB/HB/MB of good to upper-middling reputation

Adoption is Encouraged
Check out my characters sigs and individual links for adoptable details.

Keep me Accountable & Help Establish Connections!
I have created a google spreadsheet with three tabs.
If I have an inactive that you are dying to see return or just want to run headcanons by, I would love to hear it.
Monthly Posts will help me keep track of how much I'm posting and, overall, how often I post each character moving forward. This is useful for keeping in mind upcoming A/Cs, what to prioritize during rapid-fire urges, and noticing when it becomes a pattern when one or more characters gets neglected for several months in a row.
Character Stats helps me keep track of how many of this and that that I have. I have to remind myself that there is no shame in multiples, as long as I am able to write and in my happy place. The birth months — and a little bit the Hogwarts houses — are my biggest pet peeves. I also have listed my primary inactive accounts that are most likely to be reactivated. There are some that cannot be found on this list, but for a special request and/or dire need, I am more than happy to go into discussions <3
Ship Sheets — a.k.a. the site fav — are for relationship tracking and establishing. Whether we're establishing how well our character's relatives actually like each other or don't to if our characters are sworn enemies, these can either be canonized in thread or through discussions OOC. Please feel free to reach out!

Acacia Darlington

Adoptables | Step-Adoptables

Acacia has always been on the side of people-pleasing mixed with mother hen. She'll be the one to remind her friends to study and enjoys painting during her free time. Friends will likely be from either her Hogwarts years — primarily likely to have befriended individuals of any house, one year schooling difference depending on birthday or common friendships/interests — and current work colleagues — Hogsmeade Hospital.

Want to be the kind socialite(s) that take Acacia under their wing after she marries into a new class? Help this poor girl out, she's already got anxiety!

Acacia's father and youngest full sister are listed in the adoptables above, while Chrysanta Ruskin is in Sweetie's plottables listed under her separate networking. But wait, there's more! Step-momma and the step-sibs can be found in the step-adoptables. For extended Ruskin connections, take a glance at Acacia's family section and/or inquire if an extended branch can be negotiated.

Anti-halfbreed? Can't possibly comprehend the whole 'you married him?!' and it's soured/worsened your opinion of Acacia? Can't stand Chrysanta's feminist political views, the fact that Chrysanta helped Sweetie Whitledge's campaign, and want to take all of that out on her older sister? Step right up folks! This poor girl... well she'll probably just cry, but it's definitely something!

Belladonna Ravencrest

Adoptables

FRIENDS: Bella befriends the social diamonds and wallflowers alike, though she will tell the former that the later has more to do with charity than true friendship so that she can avoid social scrutiny. Rather, she enjoys the company of the wallflowers more and will often open up to the extent that she can with those that she deems worth her time.

FAMILY: Up front, the Ravencrest family are known for their ties to the funeral business ran by the middle class relations and old money that extends past. There are traditions that have held strong that society may raise an eyebrow towards, from traditional clothing to the decor of their home — what you are permitted to see, anyway.

For those in the know, the Ravencrest family have a rivalry in particular with two other families in the criminal world — along, of course, with any more recent grievances that may be established by other families through the family directly or their allies. The inner workings of the family are long and complex, for more in-depth information there are resources in Bella's profile and even further information upon inquiry towards Té.

THE BUSINESS: Up front, funeral arrangements and the like.

Behind-the-scenes holds a whole new level of dangers and intrigue. Belladonna is involved primarily in the memory portion of the dealings. Her methods are precise, often working in legilimency and memory charms — depending on the case. On occasion, she will also deal in hexes or jinxes when the family finds her talents of particular use.

HURLING: The Dowery is incredibly promising, the Woman is incredibly charming, and who can deny her beauty? What's a little surname by comparison?

ENEMIES: Society wise, Bell will actively seek to avoid making enemies where possible. Even still, she doesn't mind ruffling a feather or two when it strategically suits her.

The Eventides and Fangworths are the primary enemies of her family, although her family's ally in the di Visconti family means that the di Visconti's enemies are the Ravencrest's enemies as well.

THE VICTIMS: Only known to Bell, herself, this lovely lady is a serial killer. Her bc is slowly ticking upwards. Do you have an NPC in need of being her next victim? Want to be a witness to a 'veela' attack? Is your character ready for the slaughter?

Jolie Lukeson

Adoptables

FRIENDS: Jolie is overall rather friendly to those she enjoys spending time with. As she has gotten older, she has grown to appreciate people more outside of her peerage and would be so inclined as to forge friendships in that direction. Her school companions would primarily have been around her own age and around MC/UC with any blood status.

FAMILY: Her family is a complicated one. A mother abandoning the family, a vampiric disowned older sister, and a brother slain after being socially accused of lycanthropy no matter how true the rumors are. Not only are some of her siblings up for grabs, but plenty of extended family is available to go around and can be found here.

ENEMIES: Alongside the Lukeson Family Complications, Jolie is an opinionated individual who isn't afraid to speak her mind. This tends to throw people off, especially in this day and age. She was snippier during her first few years at Hogwarts as well, which could be noted by some of her close-in-age peers if they bother to hang on to those types of things.

Sweetie Whitledge

Adoptables | Plottables

Sweetie has definitely chilled out since her years at Hogwarts. Still, she's an opinionated young woman and she will speak her mind when pushed. Academically inclined, she seeks like-minded people. While not outwardly open about it, she holds feminist ideals. Most friends have likely been made post-Hogwarts, whether they were her peers or not, but some have lingered since those days. She is not anti-halfbreed.

A complicated bunch indeed. The Whitledge siblings are orphans, and tensions have been strong for a fair amount of years. The recent years have seen calmer waters - partially due to Sweetie and Handsome actively avoiding each other when possible.

Yeah, she's opinionated. She was downright mean in Hogwarts. Did she piss you off at Hogwarts? Let the bad blood spill. People either have had an opinion of her for years or have just now begun to be annoyed by her for being an opinionated working woman. Oh, and did I forget to mention she ran for Minister and lost?! Yeah! That happened too! Sore subject indeed.

Agape Lestrange

Part of the infamous Lestrange Family, Agape was raised in one of the more tame Lestrange households. Aside from her parents being members of the Church of Magical Jesus, that is. Agape is leaning away from her parents' views, especially after the passing of her father. Agape has grown more closed off in recent years, focusing on her studies and etiquette classes. Most of her friendships are likely those that she gained from her first year or through her childhood.

Agape is also available for tutoring, and this year's advert can be found here.

UPDATES

Coming back means updating Networking, something I'm awful at xD
Until I can get my nonsense together, here are my current beasties and what they need.


Levina:
— Fellow Graduate Friends
— School Friends for Summer/Writing during the school year (leaning going on older fifth year+)
— Fellow Debs
— Hurling!


Sweetie:
— Co-workers
— People she would get along with
— People she would not get along with
— Wanna bother her about politics?
— Interested in transfiguration?



#3
Agape and Honoria for friends? Honoria has a little 'club' for overachieving academic ladies from good families. It's got 'coven' vibes - she could get her invite? Her family are MCPB, but her family would be known in UC PB circles because of who her father is.

Jules is an academic (+ Oz Dempsey to an extent). Alasdair Greyback is a society hurlable. I don't have much variety in ages and you're mostly too old or too young for my crew so I don't have a ton to offer, whoops!



Set by Lady!

Ace isn't finished in his profile update yet. He doesn't have an Intro post yet. He's not here on my Networking yet. But Morwenna just announced that she's a werewolf and now Ace is a mixture of these two emotions:



Wanna see this and be all like:


Have a Lukeson? Want a Lukeson? A selection of them know why he's panicked, a portion of them don't. Come join the fire.
