Zula Dembe Ballo Hufflepuff - Muggle Born - Seventh Year - Prefect - Single - Seventeen Meet Zula, a muggle born African native that has come to Hogwarts after being run out of her home country due to her abilities. She was born a princess in a small South African country and was raised there until she was about nine years old, when her family and her people discovered what she was, they wanted to imprison her, but her parents sent her away. Zula is educationally driven, caring and loving of all those around her. The girl is slightly fearful of what she is capable of and fears that she could easily turn evil in a given moment. This makes her rigidly good and frequently judgmental.
Friends Overall, Zula is a sweet girl and probably would have quite a few friends. I see her spending a great deal of time with those who are academically driven, or friends that do not mind that sometimes she needs to hunt down an answer if a question pops into her head. She'd probably have a core group of friends that are a misfit group of people with many different personalities. Zula sees the best in everyone and tries very hard to get along with everyone, which means that she doesn't always notice when people are using or taking advantage of her.
Enemies Zula doesn't like confrontation much, but she does enjoy a healthy debate now and then. If she believes that you are wrong, she will tell you in the nicest possible way. Not to get anyone angry, but she believes that debate and disagreement are the best ways to learn. So there would probably be a couple people in this category. She is a muggleborn, so purists could be a pretty easy though.
Lovers She's not against love really, though it definitely isn't a priority. Zula fully believes that she was sent to Hogwarts to get an education, not find love. She is fairly oblivious because of that, she tends to be too distracted to pick up on things like flirting and tends to explain it away...or find it odd. Zula is very socially oriented and often mistakes any flirtatiousness for simple friendship and platonicness. Zula hasn't been in a relationship with anyone prior to this point.
Others Anything and everything!
Alric Octavian Thornton Gryffindor - Animagus - Seventh Year - Single - Seventeen
This handsome devil is Alric Octavian Thornton, the youngest son of the infamous Thaddeus Thornton and Seraphina Thornton. Unknown to him, he is in reality the son of Marrok Thornton and a girl from his school days. Alric is one of the biggest sweethearts that you could ever meet and his is loyal to everyone around him. He has a lust love for food and will eat just about anything (it is not uncommon to find him in the kitchens). Alric is nothing like the rest of his family and has a great sense of humor.
Friends Alric is a personable fellow and is quite the charmer so he would have quite a few friends. Of course, he is still fairly guarded around new people because of what he is....and his famous last name, but Alric would no doubt have a core group of friends that he's close to. Gryffindors would be the easiest bet, but Alric is not one to discriminate, if you're nice, he'll like you. He's a bundle of fun!
Enemies There will be a fair amount of enemies for my little Gryffindor. His last name alone would earn him a place on many people's bad list and his "condition" wouldn't really help him in any way. Despite his family's blood purist ways, Alric could not be farther from that belief system.
Lovers Alric isn't exactly searching for Miss Right anytime soon, but that doesn't mean that there's not relationship potential. He's very awkward when it comes to love, not because he can't handle women, but because he's terrified of letting people too close. It doesn't help that his family would pretty much hate every girl that Alric would actually take an interest in.
Others What else? Let me know!
Avalon Serena Zabini Slytherin - Pureblood - Seventh Year - Beater - Single - Seventeen Say hello to Avalon Serena Zabini, the oldest child of Blaise Zabini and Daphne Greengrass-Zabini. Avalon is whole heartedly a purist, member of the Purifiers and all around a really mean person. Her idol is her grandmother and she had taken on Grandmother Zabini's legacy. Avalon has big dreams, but they are all truly selfish in nature.
Friends Avalon is not the nicest person in the world, so I don't imagine her having too many friends. Much of her social network would be acquaintances, but I do picture her with having a couple of truly close that understand her anger and bullying nature. Avalon can be nice to those around her, if she likes them or if they are helpful to her in some way, but that does not always last very long.
Enemies This is probably going to be a much longer list of Avalon. Avalon is a bully and likes to use people to get what she wants. Being a blood purist, means that muggle borns, half breeds, and blood traitors would fit in the category really quickly. Being in the Purifiers means that Order members and Phoenix Rising members would fit well here also. Avalon is a very confrontational person and does not always react with just her words.
Lovers Taking up the legacy of Mrs. Zabini, Avalon has a long series of ex's from over the years. Avalon is a serial dater and usually does not stay single for more than two weeks, however, none of her relationships last long. Avalon doesn't believe in love/doesn't feel worthy of love so instead she makes of habit of waiting until her significant others develop feelings before cutting the cord. There is also a want ad up for her betrothed, but I'm really open to someone trying to change her opinion on love and commitment. Others Anything and everything!

@jamie and @zula -- these two are so similar and yet so different and i can see them becoming really good friends. jamie's a werewolf whose father was a homicidal maniac so she totally gets the whole 'turning evil at any moment' thing. jamie was also raised more or less as a muggleborn, though she's technically a half blood. the only thing i can really think of for them is friendship, maybe complicated by the fact that jamie's horde of half-siblings are all wizards, too, while zula's are muggles? just an idea. c:

@zula & @jamie : Ooo! I think they could become really good friend too! Zula would be both fascinated and a little terrified of Jamie's werewolf-ness and the name her father has earned for himself. Still, she does hold on to the belief that there is good in everyone, so she definitely would never turn Jamie away. I could see Zula asking her all sorts of questions about being a werewolf and possibly not catching on quickly enough that it might make Jamie uncomfortable. Zula's naturally inquisitive and sometimes she forgets that she needs to be a person. I think friends would be perfect for them!!!

*clings to Zula* She's so adoooooooooooorable! Okay, seriously.
@zula & @sophia Can they be friends?!?!?! Please?! They'd be so adorable together! I can picture them trying to study magic together, because spells don't come easy to Sophia at all, so she needs someone that won't laugh at her attempts to perform a spell.

@zula & @sophia : Umm, absolutely!! I think Zula would absolutely loove Sophia! Zula is more open than Sophia (who is now being affectionately called Fee Fee in Zula's head now), but I feel like she would love to just do whatever comes up. Zula is also a little awkward sometimes and her cultural differences with people sometimes makes that weirdness worse, but I think they would be so dorkily awesome together. She would be super encouraging and understanding about studying together and she would probably be one of Sophia's biggest cheerleaders. I ship this friendship.

@zander -- well, its already been discussed that he loves her to death and she is friends with he and soph!!! agreed? he'd be so protective over this sweet girl. @delisle -- hmm... masin is head girl and kind of a hothead. well, she's prim and proper and likes to be in control over things. she is hoping to serve the greater good by reminding people about refinement, good posture and things like that. she kind of picks on soph for being so shy and weak. she doesn't do it in an obvious way, but she is a bit of a bully. i think she would respect zula for being so studious but probably not notice her unless she was doing something masin thought was foolish. she'd advise her to 'sit up straight' and 'hold the quill correctly'. Zula might not even notice that Masin can be subtly cruel, though, because of that personality of hers. @hugo -- these two would be adorable friends. hugo is incredibly sweet, forgiving, and also tries to see the best in everyone. thats one of his strongest traits, actually. i can see these two just being the most adorably kind to one another and helping each other with anything the other needed. hugo would bring snacks for them to have while studying together but also get up and move around, have some fun with her too. he's also a seer, so any fun ideas you have with that could work too! @river -- hehe, these two could be fun. river is shy, so shy, sweet but has anger issues due to his abusive childhood and a bunch of that nonsense. he is betrothed to an insane person, whom he doesn't love but is trying to make it work for his parents, and really just needs some friends to rally around! I can see he and his best friend @liv being friends with her. lily luna potter --- i have literally no idea what to do here o.O lily is crazy, adventurous, careless and well, stupid. i'm not sure how these two would have bonded... @leslie -- meet your head of house and charms teacher! these two would get along swimingly <3 ((@lucy @edmund @susanvictoria!! she's royalty muggleborn too!!)

@jamie and @zula -- jamie totally gets the curiosity surrounding her werewolf-ness! as for the good in everyone thing, i'm pretty sure jamie is the epitome of something good coming out of something bad. i can start a thread for them soon-ish if you don't mind a wait, or if you want to start one i will respond asap! c:

@zula & @zander : Absolutely! Zula absolutely adores him, plus they both really like music so...yes. Friends forever.
@zula & @ delisle: Ok, so feel like Zula would find Masin really intimidating and would probably not really know how to interact with her most of the time. I can see her being really respectful of her position as Head Girl because Zula's really respectful of authority and definitely doesn't want to make waves for anyone. Yeah, Zula probably wouldn't ever notice that Masin. She tends to see the good in everyone and would probably think that it was just her trying to be helpful or something along those lines.
@zula & @hugo : Oh gosh, these two would be the sweetest friendship ever. Just the two nicest people in the world, almost irritatingly nice and sweet to each other....I love it. I could see Zula initially geeking about about meeting someone that she's read about in her books and she's probably asked a ridiculous amount of questions about his family over the course of their friendship. Maybe their first meeting, she just plops down and starts asking him questions, without her realizing that it's not really normal? Or something like that. Either way, lots of questions, but not in like a celebrity sort of way, but in the Zula's genuinely curious about everything sort of way. With the Seer thing, Zula would probably just be a little freaked out by it because an ability like that would have been frowned upon by her family.
@zula & @river : I think these two could be really interesting! I could see Zula both kind of identifying with and not really understanding River's situation. She could have easily been in his situation had she stayed with her family, but since she left, she avoided the whole thing. I could see her questioning him as to why he would stay with her at first, but she'd back off pretty quickly. I could see her as like accidentally saying something to his betrothed innocently and not realizing that she should stay out of it. Otherwise, she's be super supportive and as nice as possible, trying to cheer him up and all that.
@zula & lily luna potter : Similar to Hugo, Zula would probably ask Lily and obnoxious amount of questions about her family. Throw in the fact that she's a werewolf and Zula would be a little afraid of her, but I could see her getting over that. Lily would probably really overwhelm Zula in a way...
@zula & @leslie : Meet one of your most annoying students ever. I see Zula as excelling more at Charms so she would probably bother the crap out of Leslie with ridiculous questions allllllll the time.
@zula & @jamie : A thread would be great! I'm a little busier during the week so I'm not sure I can get to it before the weekend, but either way works!

@zander & Zula: Perfect! We should thread these two once he is no longer kidnapped Zula and Masin: Perfect, probably don't need to thread it out but the relationship is there Zula and Hugo: Haha! I love her asking about his family that is so funny. And totes cool with her being freaked out by his powers. He's freaked out by it XD Zula and River: I love this! she should totally innocently say something to @vi, that would be crazy. Do you want to start a thread for these two? Lily and Zula: well, Lily is really overwhelming so no surprise there XD Leslie and Zula: I'd love to start one for these two! Maybe Zula stays after class to talk Charms and geek out and ask questions?

@zula & @susanvictoria - both are Muggle royalty, both are on the outs with their prospective lines (albeit different reasons; the Windsor patriarch was assassinated so the children are laying low), so I think they'd bond over that. Susan's a bit superficial. but maybe since Zula knows what her life was like before Hogwarts, she feels like she can be herself around her? We can always throw them together and see

@vi & @zula - Bwaha, meet @river's betrothed. I would loooove it if these two were to thread and Zula said something to her about River! I can see them definitely not getting along at all. Vi would likely detest Zula, actually. c:< Rozalina Antonina Nightshade & @zula - I would love for these two to actually be pretty good friends? Rose would find her adorable and probably ask a lot of questions about her culture and stuff. In return, Rose would be happy to help with any questions Zula may have and they can study together and stuff!

@zander - Absolutely! Zula will be so concerned about him after that too! She'll be adorable.
@river - Yes! I can probably start one tomorrow (Sunday) or I have an open thread in the Charms classroom if you wanted to use that too! Anything works for me!
@leslie - That would be fantastic! She'll be moderately annoying and slightly crazy, like Hermione, but honestly much cuter about it.
@susanvictoria - Oooh yes! I think Zula would really appreciate having someone around who kind of gets it, since she kind of tries to downplay it a little because she's afraid it will make her seem like even more of an outsider. So having someone around who feels the same way would kind of be a blessing. I could see them possibly being frustrated by one another every now and then too! We should definitely do a thread!
@ vi - I'm alllll for getting Zula into trouble that she's not expecting! She'd be so innocently commenting and trying to play it for the best of both of them even and then getting a negative reaction would probably really confuse her. I can totally start a thread if you'd like!
Rozalina Antonina Nightshade - Yes please! Zula loves her! Like totally has a friend crush on Rose right now. She'd love having extensive conversation and debates about different things for a ridiculous amount of time. So yes :}

Rozalina Antonina Nightshade & @alric - I would say these two would be friends! I loooooove Josh Hutcherson!! Rose and he would get along fairly well, I think. @vi & @alric - Having grown up and raised around blood purists, I think Vi would definitely know of the Thornton name. Maybe they even know one another from their childhood! Vi just came to Hogwarts a few months ago, though. She isn't too nice, but I can see her tolerating Alric because of his last name. Perhaps their parents know one another or something and Vi was told to act friendly-ish toward him. They could be fun to thread out! @mathieu & @alric - I see these two as very good friends, oddly enough. Perhaps even best friends. Matty also came from a blood purist family but he doesn't exactly share the same views as them (like, at at all... he is in love with a halfblood Hufflepuff,) so I think the two of them could really relate. Plus, now that the older Purifiers are gone, Matty is kind of their "informant" much to his dismay. So who knows... maybe in the future, he may go to Alric in a state of despair and break down or something, feeling he could relate. This could be fun!

@alric & Rozalina Antonina Nightshade : Yes! He’s also best friends with @roxy and secretly has dreams of being adopted by the Weasley family so he would probably adore rose. I could totally see him getting her worked up over something she really cares about as a way of playfully messing with her.
@alric & @vi : I like the idea of them being friendly growing up, his parents would have pushed him to be nice and friendly to him. I could see him as really trying to be nice to her, but would probably stop trying after a while if she never really warmed up to him. He also doesn’t follow the purist ideals at all so that tends to drive a wedge between him and others. Alric would probably be really weird around her, its not really in his nature to be mean to people, but I can’t see him really sitting around biting his tongue. He’d probably be fairly sassy, challenging, and a little snarky too.
@alric & @mathieu : I so approve of this! I think they are similar, yet different enough that they would get along so strangely well. Alric is very much a dork and while he isn’t opposed to parties, he doesn’t really fit in at them. Basically, Alric is one who likes to think that he’s really cool and interesting, but is actually a giant weirdo. I could see Alric really relating to Mathieu’s situation since he gets a feeling that his family are on the opposing side..maybe he asks him if his family is involved or whatever. He’d also be really supportive and try to help if Mathieu did come to him!
