FOR BELLA SCRIMGEOUR:
- I was going to put this in adoptable plots but I realize its long enough to deserve its own thread and it's easier to organize any potential options here than unreliable skype. :P
- She'd need to have a reason to believe they could offer her help. If she was so close to them and knew their family was shitty as well, she probably wouldn't choose to run to them for help.
- She has a reason for them to be on the forefront of her mind. She probably wouldn't apparate to that obscure friend from Hogwarts' house unless she was sure she could trust them.
- The other alternative is she had recent interactions with them and she just decided they were the best option on the fly. She would have to know them well enough to know where to find them, though!
- They're close enough in age to her where she could build a realistic friendship with them, but not so close to where it's unreasonable that they wouldn't know each other. That means your 45-year-old married dude is probably not the best option for obvious reasons, unless:
- They're someone who would offer to help her — but with a caveat. Maybe they expect certain things from her and push her into situations she's uncomfortable with. Her boggart was literally her father attacking her, so I can imagine she might do things she might not usually to avoid going back home.
- Her interactions with them could introduce her into an up-and-coming or existing plot. This way, your character isn't stuck dealing with her but she would have something going forward.
- They could give her something new to care about. Maybe their job or hobbies or whatever is something she could find an interest in and lead her in a direction that isn't gardening and shit. :P
On April 23rd, Bella was practically tortured by her father and decided to shoot a stunning spell at him before apparating somewhere. I never decided where that somewhere is, but I really want that somewhere to be right into someone — whether it be someone she knows or a stranger.
Here are the two options:
She knows them. Unless the universe aligned perfectly, it would be likely she purposefully decided they would be a good person to go to in the midst of panic attack rather than apparating to the perfect spot where they just so happened to be hanging around. That would require some of the following:
This option would mostly be for the purpose of building an existing relationship. Maybe we've decided they're good friends but they haven't had much interaction, or maybe they've had ongoing things but need more interaction to force a presence in each other's lives! The second option is:
They're complete strangers. I assume this would be an ongoing thing only because if it wasn't, I'd have to figure out what to do with her right after they parted ways. For this option to work, they'd have to fit one (or multiple, if you could!) of the following options:
Other than that, they're are no requirements about gender, age, class, blood, etc.!
Bella's fate — class-wise, reputation-wise, everything — is pretty much up for discussion at the moment. She'd try to keep the "arrangement" (unless it's a more permanent solution) as quiet as she could because she doesn't want her father to have a way to find her and drag her back home.
Just know that if you do help me ruin help Bella, you will never go without posts. It could also open up potential relationships/interactions with people who are invested in Bella's life or well-being!
