Barnabas Skeeter
June 27th, 1859 | 28 years
Middle Class
Head of Dueling Commission Office
Halfblood
Slytherin (Prefect '74 - '77)


Barney is a know-it-all, judgmental, ambitious, hot tempered, a suck up, traditional, competitive and insecure over his size. He's been mentioned in WW and the DP frequently in the past two years. Check his profile for more info.

What he's looking for:

• Female
• Less than 5'3"
• Middle Class
• 17 years - 30 years
• Does not have to be a love match, so long as they get along and she agrees to have his children

What he's hopeful for:

• Brunette +10
• Redhead
• Sweet, modest, quiet, goes along with what he says

What he actually needs:

• Someone that will challenge him, clever, thinks on her feet, likely a career woman
• Either marry because they are caught in a compromising position, get married by accident or some other fun romance trope that isn't love but could leave to love
• Or actually love

What I'm also open to:

• Widows with children who are open to having more kids
• Desperate UC ladies (rep dings for both of them if this happens)

A note: I don't pre-plot love matches, I prefer for that to happen organically. I am willing to toss characters together to see how they get on, but if there isn't any chemistry I won't force it in that direction. We can hurl them together in fun situations (I prefer those vs. standard bump into each other meet and greets) and see where that goes.

Contact
PM Declan Wood or Skype me if you have it

  

If you want me to change the coding, I will.

Margaret Rawlinson
April 20th, 1870 | 18 years
Upper Class
Debutante (watch as I cry)
Pureblood (crying a lot)
Gryffindor ('81 - '88)


Margaret is a sweet girl, who can be quite passionate about what she believes in. Very family oriented and charitable, she is most likely going to make a marvelous mother and Socialite. For more info, take a look at her lovely profile.

What she's looking for:

• Male
• 'Kind' eyes
• Upper Class
• 25 years - 35 years
• Preferably a love match, but her mother may pressure her into marrying a man of good rep and pure blood if said man takes an interest.

What she's hopeful for:

• Charming +10
• Smart
• Non-purist
• Kind, passionate, loving towards animals and family.

What he actually needs:

• Make her parents disappointed, let him not be pure of blood
• OR let him be pure of blood, and let them end up hating each other after the marriage and seeing how that plays out.

What I'm also open to:

• Widows with children who are open to having more kids
• MC men (for the drama)

We can try planning, but please be open if that plan goes up in flames. I also don't mind if both break each other's hearts by being thrown together (mwahaha). However, I'm not gonna force my poor darlings into relationships that they would not normally fit with.

Contact
PM @'Acacia Ruskin' or Skype me if you have it (if you don't, feel free to ask for my username)

@'Helga Scamander'
19 | Hufflepuff Class of '87 | MCPB | Rep 10
Debutante
An upbeat, fun-loving girl who desires adventure but fears... the consequences. Enjoys light conversation, witty banter, and enjoying the finer things in life — which is, ultimately, why she aspires to move up on the social ladder.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

A wealthy gentleman — likely pureblood, if only to remain in the same circles as her closest friends! — who has a lucrative occupation or is set to receive an inheritance. Likely from an "older" family with a good reputation overall. No physical preference; handsomeness is appreciated, but far from the most important thing on her mind!

My Ideal Match For Them

Similar to the above, but who's likely to challenge her idea of a "happily ever after" post-marriage. I'd love for her to go through the ideal courtship at the beginning, but then realize a life of luxury is one more of confinement than freedom! Perhaps his expectations are made clear during the engagement period, and she realizes she never considered those rules as ones that would affect her!

Also Open To:

Other MCAB men, obviously. Her ambitions are just that — ambitions — and realistically are likely to never come to fruition. Any match made of this type would certainly be a love match, but the post-marriage challenge would likely be one where she experiences feelings of (1) being inadequate, (2) being incapable of pleasing her husband, (3) not fitting up to some expectation she's given him with her exuberant attempts at husband-hunting.

Finnian Byrne
31 | Gryffindor Class of '75 | MCHB | Rep 7
Ministry Lawyer
A Gryffinfail of a lawyer who managed to finally gain access into the auror program after two years of prior failure, only to get kicked out after failing to find a mentor. While not very politically or academically-inclined, he's an overall sweet guy with a bit of a flirting problem.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

None, at the moment. He's fairly sure that the shock of seeing him married would end the lives of half his Connolly relations, especially after the shock!elopement between his brother and Magdalena Backus. His ideal woman, from IC experience, tends to be pretty and blonde — especially ones with bright blue eyes.

My Ideal Match For Them

A woman totally out of his league. It would be awfully amusing to see him woo an UCAB woman into a courtship/elopement with his aloof charm and debonair smile. It would be the perfect contrast to his brother, who married a baker's daughter to help her secure an inheritance!

Also Open To:

Regular, every day woman who attempt to capture his attentions! He's always open to flirting and carrying on a harmless acquaintanceship with a young woman he's unknowingly enraptured! Pining always brings the best drama and humor, especially if he's 100% unaware of it.

Upper Class
Social Butterfly and 'sponsor' of the applyby arrows
Pureblood
Gryffindor


Ginny is vivacious, outgoing and a fixture of the social scene, and generally upbeat.  She has a teasing sense of humour and is fashionably appointed at all times.

What she's looking for:

• male
• UCAB or MCPB
• Fun loving
• 30+
• InheritanceGinnys grandmothers estate was entailed to the female line, providing an income if Ginny marries a pureblood, allowing her to marry someone from MC, to maintain a UC lifestyle as long as they are a pureblood.  If you are AB, you need to be UC

What she's hopeful for:

• roguish looking
• funloving
• must be able to keep up with her socially, or tolerate her social appetite

What I'm also open to:

• Forced arrangement of her parents to some very 'old name'
• Caught in the actpositions compromised and so marriage ensures

@'BENEVOLENCE MONTAGUE'
1st December 1865 | 21 years
Middle Class
Plant Breeder & Owner of Montagues House of Flowers

What she's looking for:

• male
• MC/UCAB
• Can make her laugh
• 25+

• Being funny, or making her laugh would be an instant in

What I'm also open to:

Currently working class with an inheritance to Middle Class
Preten-dutant

Not formal hurling for Maddie, since at the moment she thinks herself in love - but developmental drama is always fun

What she's looking for:

• male
• MC/UCAB
• Open – she isn’t sure what she likes
• any age +
• inheritanceMaddie is getting a stipend from a trust fund to help her socialise as an MC girl, but she wont get her full inheritance until she changes her name or marries.  There is a sizeable inheritance (Upper Middle Class) for anyone who takes her on.

What she's hopeful for:

• Sweet tempered
• Progressive  
• Being interesting, scholarly, or hardworking

What I'm also open to:

• Mentor Maddie was academic to the nth degree, if your person can teach her something, or she can look up to them, she would definitely be into that
• AnimagusMaddie began to study for the animagus transformation last summer  - she is not entering year 2 of that training.  She had been learning from her transfiguration teacher but she isn’t in school, she might need to replace the teacher

Tessa Darrow
21 | Hufflepuff Class of '85 | MCHB | Rep 9
Governess to the Minister's Family
While definitely fitting the standard of society's "ideal" woman in term of beauty and personality, Tessie made the impulsive decision — mostly based off insecurities — to resign to the life of a governess after a failed first season. Thus, she's technically expecting to remain unmarried for a long while, but where would the fun in that be?

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

With no desire to social climb, Tessie envisions herself with a husband of similar wealth to her own family. She desires a comfortable life with no desire for extravagance, and as such would be comfortable with a MCAB husband with a Ministry, hospital, business, etc. profession. The politician type is less-than-desirable, but a humble government employee would be fine!

My Ideal Match For Them

Similar to the above, to be honest — and maybe some initially unrequited drama

Also Open To:

Gentlemen above her station to take an interest in her! Such an interest would likely see some resistance and maybe rejection if there was a highlight on all the comforts she could gain!

Edric Umbridge
36 | Slytherin Class of '70 | MCPB | Rep 9
Auror
An auror whose defining fear is abandonment — a fear driven by the loss of his mother, who abandoned his family when he was just a child to run off with her lover. He looks at love with skepticism, believing all good things come to an end.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

He's 100% willing to put off marriage for as long as socially acceptable, but it more than halfway to forty and has no desire to be labeled a confirmed bachelor. He switches between what he wants from a woman — he may claim he just wants a "trophy" sort of wife to tend to the home and raise their children, while deep down he really wants a companion.

My Ideal Match For Them

A woman with reservations about courting/marrying him for whatever reason. Maybe she's hesitant about marrying an gentleman with such a high-risk career, or maybe she has her own family problems. Such reservations would likely bring his own insecurities to the surface.

Also Open To:

A... regular... courtship? Idk.

Albert Pettigrew
29 | Slytherin Class of '76 | UCPB | Rep 9
Research Committee Member
In his attempt to prove himself the superior of the three Pettigrew brothers, Albert has managed to do little more than prove himself an asshole. He originally started out as a lawyer, then moved to the Research Committee for the pay raise and also so Bree could make Finnian.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

UCPB, 24 and under, and completely respectable themselves. He's be willing to take a bride from a family with scandals in their past, but only if it's been a long time since and it had little to do with the woman in question! He hasn't shown a preference for personality types nor appearance, so that's open!

My Ideal Match For Them

A woman who... doesn't fit his expectations, bar the "pureblood" requirement. Maybe she's from a middle class family known for their social-climbing tendencies, or maybe she's deal with some recent scandal that causes from drama. Or Merlin forbid, maybe he actually falls in love despite knowing the reputation damage that could come from being tied to them legally (or even in the society's eyes!). Also an option is a girl who on paper fits his requirements, but who has clashing views/from a family with clashing political views.

Also Open To:

Pre-hurling or ladies that are a little outside of the age range!

@'Dionisia Tweedy'
20 | Hufflepuff Class of '86 | WCMB | Rep 6
Mediwitch, Hogsmeade Hospital
A mediwitch who was disowned by her MC muggle family for being a witch, Dionisia spent many of her summers between school years with her friends. She's developed some radical beliefs over the years, but knows well enough to put them aside when she goes to work.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

None! She's very resistant to the idea of marriage because of her corset-burner approach to feminism. She doesn't believe that a man is physically capable of treating a woman as an equal (and ones who don't are likely to have difficulty maintain an relationship with her!). If she ever did marry, it would likely to be another unprejudiced, WCAB man!

My Ideal Match For Them

A gentleman to prove her wrong, or who she likes and then proves her right.

Also Open To:

Dionisia is bisexual, so I would also 100% be down for non-marriage!hurling her as a lady who might catch her eye and would pay her attention, too

Reuben Crouch
29 August 1859 | 28 years
Middle Class
? Employed?
Pureblood
Gryffindor
The infamous "other" Crouch brother.

What he's looking for:

• Trouble

What he's into:

• Girls with a "rebellious princess" complex, apparently
• Trying to "fix" girls with some serious emotional issues, particularly re: their families (VE daddy issues)
• Sassy redheads
• Any girl likely to give his brother(s) an aneurysm
• Girls who don't take themselves too seriously
• Age 17 - 23 (but he'd totally go there if you're older, too)

OOC Things:

• Unlikely to actually marry unless forced, and that in turn is unlikely to happen except to an age appropriate MCPB, probably one that he's gotten into trouble with. (possibly trouble if you know what I mean)
• Allllways up for more drama and Ben is a shameless flirt, so you can throw your UC/WC girls my way as well provided you have a good idea of where they'd meet/interact

Tierney Walsh
26 | Wampus (Ilvermorny) Class of '80 | MCHB | Rep 8
Magzioologist
A traveling American magizoologist who's settled down in Britain (for now!) while he spends time with his cousin, @"Eavan MacKay", and sister, Una Walsh.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

An adventurous young woman with a love of animals. He's not particularly picky with blood or social standing, though would be waaaay unlikely to pursue a woman who would be too much of a fuss (i.e. upper class or with a fussy family). He's not particularly looking to be married off, but he jokes about it IC and it would be funny to see that happen!

My Ideal Match For Them

Either too much of a wildcard for him or a woman who he falls for but isn't a lover of animals/travel, prompting him to have to make a "decision". (Or, alternatively, someone his sister dislikes immensely).

Also Open To:

Literally anything, come @ me.

Beckett Longbottom
April 13th, 1859 | 29 years | UCPB | Rep 9
Sponsor, Wimbourne Wasps | Gryff Class of 1877

Becks isn't really serious about hurling, but the rest of his family is because hi, he's the only male and all of his sisters are married. That said, he's a flirt to the max and send everyone my way. He'd love a girl interested in quidditch on some level, but that's not necessary as long as she doesn't HATE it lol.

What he's looking for:

• Female | UCPB | 17-24ish
• Witty, somebody who will keep up with him and give him a run for his money.

What I'm also open to:

• MCPB - Longbottoms are canonically pure so sorry friends, but I'm not opposed to a middle class lass as long as they're respectable! His entire family might have something to say about it though.

Eugene Scamander
June 1st, 1862 | 25 years | MCPB | Rep 10
Beast Division Employee | Puff Class of 1880

Eugene is kind of pre-hurling, but again, as the only dude in his family and set financially for now, I wouldn't mind throwing him around to see what happens!

What he's looking for:

• Female | MCPB | 17-22ish
• There's canon here and we can get into that if somebody really catches his eye,; likely somebody also involved with creatures somehow, but right now it's not necessary.

What I'm also open to:

• UCPB - Scamanders are also canonically pureblood, I'm killing my options here >.> but their family is very well-respected and on the higher end of MC, so an appropriate UC girl who didn't mind marrying day (rep ding for all tho) would also work! Bee is also open to fudge blood for the right girl.

Mason Skeeter
November 20th, 1856 | 31 years | MCHB | Rep 8
Herbology Professor | Puff Class of 1875

I dunno if Mason has resigned himself to bachelorhood or not, but let's give this a go. I want him to find something other than plants dammit!

What he's looking for:

• Female | MCAB | 18-26sh
• Somebody of a similar temperament, likely interested in plants or travel, something of the like. She'd probably be more outgoing than he is because he's somewhat oblivious. He would like somebody he could hold an intellectual conversation with. NOT a former student.

What I'm also open to:

• WCAB/UCAB for the right girl, #repdings. I'm also open to a former student who just has a thing for him or whatever, could be hilarious!

Quincey Honeyduke
April 1st, 1857 | 31 years | MCMB | Rep 8
Proprietor Honeyduke's Sweet Shop | Puff Class of 1875

Quin is my #priority this season. Dude needs to get on life. He's getting some help from Ophelia Devine in regards to finding a good match, but he's so oblivious it hurts.

What he's looking for:

• Female | MCAB | 18-26ish
• This girl may have to actively pursue Quin because he just doesn't get it very much. Somebody vivacious and bubbly who will help get his act together.

What I'm also open to:

• WCAB - Respectable WC ladies also welcome, because Quin values somebody who works hard as he's done that all his life. But #repdings

@'February Lynch'
October 13th, 1866 | 21 years | MCPB | Rep 9
Debutant | Gryff Class of 1885

Febby is my only serious female hurl, she's into quidditch and quidditch players, is quick-witted and outgoing.

What she's looking for:

• Male | MC/UCAB | 26-35
• Febby's good with people and likes to interact and have fun; she's social and loves quidditch, is a bit of a broom bunny and actively trying to become and animagus.

What I'm also open to:

• N/A hit me up, she's pretty open!

Honorable Mentions

• @'Elsie Beauregard' | 22, MCHB, junior librarian, rep 8. After the shit hit the fan with in January, she's laying low, but I live to make her miserable. Seeking MCAB appropriate gentleman who could be patient with her and maybe win her over.
• Angie Swan | 21, WCHB, cursebreaker, rep 5. Angie is on a boat currently but this summer will be looking for a fling and only a fling. ACAB as long as they can keep a damn secret. They'd have to be intellectually her equal and/or have the wit to keep up with her in a conversation, otherwise she won't bother.

Same as Té "A note: I don't pre-plot love matches, I prefer for that to happen organically. I am willing to toss characters together to see how they get on, but if there isn't any chemistry I won't force it in that direction. We can hurl them together in fun situations (I prefer those vs. standard bump into each other meet and greets) and see where that goes." Because yes.

PRIORITIES

Ari Fisk
36 | Hufflepuff | MCHB |  Rep 10 | P&PP Healer-In-Charge
Ari is incredibly gay but also increasingly feeling the pressure to get hitched so that the rest of the world doesn't figure that out. Sooo.
 
What he's looking for:
❧ Ideally...? A lesbian.
❧ MCAB; he doesn't care about blood but would only pursue a woman of his own class.
❧ He is most likely to go for an older deb - someone potentially considered "past it" or unlikely to have other prospects -  but essentially anyone aged 17-35.
❧ EITHER: someone he could see himself being good friends with, OR: someone who very obviously is not a good match for him so that there is a convenient excuse to be "talked out of it" or break it off later.

What I'm looking for:
❧ Because I am after a beard here, I don't have any particular endgame in mind. Things may or may not end up in marriage since I would much rather see how things play out organically; what I can promise for sure is plotty hijinks and drama.
❧ And also all the awkwardness in the world. What is more fun than awkwardness.

Elias Grimstone
28 | Gryffindor | WC->MCHB |  Rep 9 | Broommaker
Elias has got to get his butt in gear. He is determined to do things by-the-book but has also turned out to be something of a commitment-phobe.

What he's looking for:
❧ God I don't even know. A love match, ideally.
❧ MCAB or WCAB.
❧ 17-27ish.
❧ No one super concerned with ~society or ~social climbing.

What I'm open to:
❧ Since he doesn't know what he's looking for, I am open to most anything!
❧ Again, awkwardness. He is just as awkward as Ari is. I'm not sorry.
❧ Complications! Straightforward courtships are no fun.

EXTRAS

@'Calliope Riley' 24 | Slytherin | MC->UCPB |  Rep 8 | Widow
❧ She won't marry again unless it suits her, but potential husbands would be: UCPB; 26+; ambitious; cool with stepchildren.

Porphyria Dempsey 26 | Ravenclaw | UCHB |  Rep 7 | Romantic Poet
❧ 'Tis her last so-called season before spinsterdom, so for the lols she will be especially murderous towards UCAB men who don't seem to have got the message yet that she is not interested.

Violetta Lestrange
23 | Slytherin Class of '83 | UCPB | Rep 9
Debutante
An aging debutante with a love of children (but who secretly has fertility issues of her own!). Can be a little weird in some aspects, but not enough to be considered an eccentric.

Their Ideal Match For Themselves

28+ UCPB, and with a good enough reputation that a potential courtship would cause her family any negative attention (though she has cousins that are less than perfectly respectable, so something like that wouldn't be too troubling).

My Ideal Match For Them

Most of my ideas for her take place after the marriage, so my expectations before that are really... nothing in particular! I'd like to stick to her expectations because she's not one to budge. Romance-wise (i.e. someone who's not explicitly a marriage possibility) could also be a halfblood!

Also Open To:

Widowers and people with children. Violetta loves babies and kids, which is the driving force behind her desire not to end up a lonely spinster, so she would not complain about youngish step-children!

Alexander Echelon
26 | Gryffindor Class of '80 | UCPB | Rep 5
PEST ADVISORY BURREAU EMPLOYEE
Alexander is a ditz that is good natured and fun loving. He is quite charming and personable. He might not be the absolute first choice for most ladies due to the scandal his family was involved in but he’d make quite the fun and thoughtful life companion. Notable relation: his sister is @”Hannah Pettigrew”.

What he’s looking for:

A pretty UCPB girl that is between the ages of 18 to 21. He is somewhat open on age and class but he is trying to be mindful of the type of woman his family would expect him to marry.

What I’m open to:

Similar to the above though I personally envision and dream of Alexander marrying a woman that is just as much of an idiot as he is. Think Jessica Simpson in her “is tuna chicken or a tuna” days.

Clarissa Cosgrove
18 | Slytherin Class of '87 (Prefect) | UCPB | Rep 9
Pendergast Rose
This more pre-hurling than anything since Clarissa will not be debuting this year. A very prim and proper girl, Clarissa would probably make an ideal bride for traditionalists if it wasn’t for the fact she is both not purist and stays openly friends with people like Bella Scrimgeour.

What she’s looking for:

UCAB, 21+ (especially if a heir). She would be looking for men that her family approve of but she has a penchant for being attracted to ‘bad boy’ types so that might be a bit of a factor.  As a Slytherin, she also appreciates a man that has ambition and won’t just treat her as a dumb housewife despite the fact she has no plans to ever work.

What I’m open to:

Clarissa has shown a tendency to be attracted to brutish men, usually of the working class, that her parents would heavily disapprove of so I am open to drama in relation to this.
