With the birth of our aesthetic avatar gallery, I'm curious—if, gun to your head, you had to choose a non-PB image for your character, which one-two would work best for them? I'll start!

Actual Elinor

I went with this one for Elinor because it is at once both elegant and professional, function and form. She's long since shed her more ~debutantey airs, so this simple grace works well for her!

Aesthetic Maddy 1

I was torn on this one! In many ways, Maddy is a golden snitch: quick, bright, and...important, I guess? Defo quidditch-related Wink

But she's also bright and happy like a pile of candy, SO.

Actual Atticus

Last is Atticus, at least for now! Cozy, rural, etc. basically sums him up. Also not a magical element in sight—very fitting for a muggle!

Holly is very academic-oriented and would love to be able to brew glory, so this one best suits her!

I went with this one instead of the other quidditch one because Cammie is still young and his abilities haven't been perfected (and I sort of see the snitch in a jar as a "bottled up abilities" motif :P)

I chose this one for Calla just because she does tend to be all bright and cheerful - to the point where you can get sick of her if you've had too much - just like candy.

I chose this one for Mander for likely very easy to understand reasons - he'd spend all his time with books rather than people if he had the choice.

I chose this for Jules for a bit of a less intuitive reason, but it made me think of layers with all the balconies and sort of the faces expected of him by different parties/people. The second reason because of the concept of time ticking down and looking back with regrets and what ifs?

I really couldn't find one I felt fit Cora or else I'd've done her as well!

look at the pretties mj made me!!!

*Minerva Nightly* · November 3, 2018 – 2:06 PM

Minerva would absolutely be this little cottage. It's homely (in the good way, not the bad!), modest, and speaks to a simple lifestyle, all of which appeal greatly to her and speak to her personality!

There's actually a reasonable chance I'll switch to it when the editing job on her avatar (LOLOLOL Kayte attempted GIMP) drives me mad and I'm too busy to find her an alternative xD

*Maeve Connolly* · November 9, 2018 – 9:41 PM

Maeve is the hardest because none of those quite fit her, but I like the combination of the beater's bat and the quaffle in this one for her—the former because she's aggressive as hell, and the latter because she is also a team player (at least, professionally).

In contrast, Cyrus was very easy. Intelligent and solitary. Quiet/keeps to himself. Doesn't get much more on the nose than that.

*Adelina North* · November 9, 2018 – 10:12 PM

Well, Adelina's wearing one, so she's pretty simple to determine. Softness, with the mirror to emphasize that she focuses on her appearance probably more than she needs to.
