Ida Chang - October 31, 2024
After 3 years at Charming, I’ve decided to move on and wanted to say thanks for the good times. <3 This wasn’t an easy decision, this is a testament to the creativity and good people on this site. I made some amazing friends IRL too, and I am so happy Charming brought us together. Love you!
And thank you Charming for helping me achieve my goal to do more creative writing. I still plan to write and RP, just different premises, time periods, and people. Nowadays I RP mostly over gdocs or discord servers, and you can find me on communities like The Scribes Guild or Barbermonger. If any new ideas or AUs ever interest you I hope we can stay in touch!
Discord: nolie.xo
Gchat: my email in profile, don’t wanna put it here bc bots
Hope to find you on the flipside.
Lastly, I’m sorry I could not tie up all my loose ends. I tried, but just lost steam and interest. But I hate loose ends! Soooo here are head canons for what happens to my characters next (and maybe I one day wander back here~ lowkey love 1910s-20s~). Feel free to reference any events IC if you want. They can be your NPCs but kindly don’t kill off or otherwise ruin without messaging me first. <3
~ Goodbye lovelies~
Ida Chang / Was given an opportunity to go to America to attend a women’s college. She’ll run away against her father’s wishes, and live her best intellectual and sapphic life. When she comes back to England she’ll work at her dream job, writing for Transfiguration Today, and sail happily into spinster sunset. She’ll be the cool auntie.
Sophia Lissington (nee Voss) / Will never come back to life after casting
this spell. Feel free to run with the plot, or not, the hope was always that y’all get to enjoy some spooky situations or get fodder for NaNo

I can write up a parting Daily Prophet article snippet or whatever if someone wants it, otherwise Gin will kindly post up a death announcement to dust this off.
She is survived by her recent husband Gus Lissington and two children from her previous marriage, Julien (aged 7) and Charlotte (aged 10). There was a baby with unclear origins found at the scene of her death, being held by weakened Charlotte who made a shocking recovery from her coma. It’s unclear where Sophia got the baby, but it was clear she was trying to do something with him and he’s survived a harrowing experience. (Gus calls dibs on the baby, to Oz’s chagrin <3)
Cassian Valenduris / He and Poppy Dashwood never announce their engagement after a prolonged courtship. But before the whys~ can be resolved he suffered a catastrophic magical accident on the job and was forced to retire early. Which is fine, he’s rich. He splits his time between London and various estates of the family in Italy and Eastern Europe. Find him at high brow society parties ticking closer to confirmed bachelor status.
Maxwell Beck / Will continue to be a bully so no one knows he’s got a soft heart until one day he grows up and is a little more righteous. He’ll stay involved in flying and defense against the dark arts clubs and his dad will sacrifice endlessly to make sure he can go on to his NEWTs. He probably wants a cool field job of some kind with the Ministry.
Thomas Harvey / He continues to work with Barnabas Beck in their Private Investigations business, while moonlighting as a bartender/staff at various parties or events. He continues to be a rake-ish single man looking for his soulmate, and probably knocks someone up by accident. He hopes she’s rich and widowed. Either way he’ll be a really great dad.
Diana Selwyn / She continues to search for her long lost children transformed into cats. She’s a nutcase who makes a point to attend every society event (even if she’s not invited) if the other Selywns are there. If UC/MC, find her at parties stuck in high places that she can’t figure out how to get down from. If WC, she offers handsome pay to anyone that helps her secretly steal/investigate every cat in England in search of her kids. Y’all can find her kids if you want!
Marion Flourish / check with Lynn who may open her up as an adoptable, blank canvas for you to get involved in the book curses/associated plots for Flourish & Blotts.

Millie Potts - October 31, 2024
I hate to see you leave, but I totally understand it. Don't worry, Millie will keep Mr. Beck's spirit alive and hated, and Charley will probably find him on rooftops sometimes. Or watch him from her perches up there.

Basil Foxwood - November 4, 2024
Nolie! This is so cheesy, but I am so grateful to Charming for having brought us together <3 Both on and off site, you’ve been one of the most spectacular writers I’ve found in my many years of rp and I love all our plots here, there and everywhere. You already know that wherever your characters go, mine will (inevitably) follow or wait for them to return. (Especially Basil; Ida will forever be the most important and influential woman in his life. He will wait forever.) I’ll see you in docs in the meantime! Ilu ~ oxoxo
