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 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
I have graduated and I'd like to think I've been more consistently active of late and I plan to keep it that way. The best way to keep it that way whilst my personal life goes back into unregulated uncertainty, is to have plots and things for my characters to be involved in which most do not currently. Thread Tally:
Ursula: 2/5
Tig: 1/5
Charles: 2/5
Hesper: /5
Nico: 1/5
Nova: 1/5
Scal: 3/5
I have woefully little for you, but Nigel Yarwood lives in the Glen and is a dragon researcher! He's Such a Nerd about it, so could work with Scal on things if she wants?
Nathalie Jennings is bffs with Phyri, a Nova interaction, might be amusing?
Beckett Longbottom probably moves in the same social circles as Charles?
I think that's it unless you can think of anything else >.>

I'm down for a Nigel/Scal thing! It could be quite interesting seeing how they get on considering Scal is the Most Reluctant Nerd. I think I already owe a Scal starter from before the double decker plague bus ran me over so you might get to one faster than me if you're okay starting.
Also down for a Nathalie/Nova thread, I think it could definitely be fun >:3
We should figure out where Flora/Hesper's friendship is at!! Flora graduated but is doing a year at PSYR first, and Hesper just got head girl so Flora def has a "passing on the torch" mentality rn!
Would love another thread between Hesper Gamp and Violetta DeCroix perhaps visiting her in France or vice versa. Look who is the grown up now? Perhaps she can talk more freely about her thoughts on Sirius to a friend who is exploring the romantic world.
Ursula's favourite neice Jocasta Flint would like some love of course. Maybe a special magical gift ala Harry Potter's lavish gifts from his own Black relative.
Scallion and Benedict Hunter were acquainted, its a shame she has graduated but there is fun to be had at Hunter's pets

Sounds perfect!

Yessssssss <3 Hesper definitely still looks up to her and also would love to know what Flora's true feelings are regarding Sirius but idk if she's likely to ask any time soon

Otherwise my only UC character is @‘ahn-bo jeong’ who is a massive flirt and I have a secret mission to ruin his reputation as quickly as possible. XD
For WC I have @‘effie-may woodcroft’ but I’m not actually sure they would interact.
I'm not sure how useful Tig or Ursula are for your lonely plot but I do have Adelia Lovegood on my list of highly unnecessary revivals...
As for your flirt, I once again present Tig and Ursie. FTR Tig has an unbreakable vow requiring her chastity and a cold dead heart if you want to go there hahaha I do also have Scal but she's probably as difficult to woo as Tig. OH NOVA. He could try Nova but she's emotionally distracted already but if he's really into poetry like go forth and try, my guy. Circling back to your lonely plot now I've remembered Nova exists - she might actually work best of the characters I have but would probably fall into the not reciprocated category. Would totally be oblivious to his feelings though.

Hesper/Violetta - Hesper wouldn't be allowed out of the country by her aunt nor would she be allowed to host anyone at home but she's allowed out to Hogsmeade with a governess once in a blue moon?
Jocasta/Ursula - I'm not sure what sort of situation would naturally call for them having a one on one thread where Ursula has a whole lot to say to her (not personal, she's just not a huge fan of kids) but I'm down for a larger thread with one of Ursula's kids where she dips in and out for a playdate or something if that's something others are into!

Well at a glance Alastair is definitely Ursula's Type, with a capital T. I don't know if he's in the market for extra curricular shenanigans but She Would.
For Cressida, my best option is Hesper but that's probably going to be more helpful next month!
If you want Tig to terrorize anyone, she's always willing to do so and can find a reason to hate literally anyone. She's an equal opportunity kinda gal.
Nico's on tour rn so not the most useful now but unless I'm misremembering, he did study alchemy so could have a rapport with Samuel.
Victor might actually get on quite well with Nova, something in his personality section makes me think they might hit it off in the right setting.
Charley is up for running into Scal again, and professes her innocence in advance!
Millie Potts would also love a thread with Head Girl Hesper.
Writer Notes: Charley is a street urchin in both appearance and behavior, unless written otherwise here.
Interactions may reflect Victorian-era morals rather than modern sensibilities; this is allowed and acceptable to this writer.

We could do a "I miss the boys " letter/thread and they could go fishing for feelings? :P

Totally up for both of these, the latter probably makes the most sense from next month!
