Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1894. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
Show a pattern of selfish behaviour with your character. You should have at least three threads (ten posts, three+ yours) of your character doing cruel things. Character accounts cannot be combined.
Did You Know?
Queen Victoria was known for putting jackets and dresses on her pups, causing clothing for dogs to become so popular that fashion houses for just dog clothes started popping up all over Paris. — Fox
It would be easy to assume that Evangeline came to the Lady Morgana only to pick fights. That wasn't true at all. They also had very good biscuits. — Evangeline RowleinCheck Your Privilege
This branch of my networking is specifically for the interests of hurling my characters and gaining potential suitors and suitresses for them. Please do note that I generally gravitate more towards less conventional ways of forming a connection as well as enjoying meet-cutes in general. Also as a general note, I am almost always open for scandal though it depends on both situation and character as some are adopts so I can't go too wild.
For non-hurling plots & connections (including affair hurling for people not included here, hehehe), please hit up my regular networking thread.

This is probably a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to see what would happen--I potentially have Fiona Little for Kentigern? She tends toward being anxious, but she's also a caretaker-type through and through.

The height difference is glorious, where are her haunts? Where is a good place for them to have a meaty run in?

She lives in London during school holidays, so there most likely or she probably takes regular day trips to Hogsmeade!
