Under construction. Leave plot ideas here.

is this open for posting, perry?

i'm going to post regardless, apologies if it actually isn't yet...

obviously, i now have louis. i hope everything in his app is okay with you, if not let me know and i can change it, but i didn't mention victoire much except in passing (she may have a different impression of their family, idk, but that's louis' perspective anyway haha). in past incarnations, lou and victoire have had a pretty good relationship, which i would love to keep. i saw in your app that she's protective over her siblings, which louis also returns (despite being the youngest - he's just generally protective over people he loves) though he also likes to tease. he's a bit of an idiot, but a sweetheart, though he probably has a habit of wandering into her room and pinching her stuff. he would be seriously unimpressed if she ends up as his teacher though hahaha.

i also have various other characters in the pipeline... lily is victoire's little cousin and i play her as a bit of a dreamy bookworm who nevertheless has quite decided opinions on things, though she doesn't talk about them much.

how old is vic again? because i will eventually also have emily marsdon, 24, ex-gryff, current care of magical creatures prof at hogwarts, who must be about her age, so maybe they could be friends?

Victoire's familial relationships are strained at the moment, due to her being in a transitional period and unsure of what direction she wants to take her life. She loved Paris, and would have liked to stay there, but she feels she has a responsibility to her siblings. She doesn't necessarily want to be a teacher, but it's a fancy right now.

Victoire is also a bit colder towards her cousins, under the perception that she and her siblings are just that much different to be a problem in English Wizarding society. She's worked with Veela rescue and recovery groups.

She also doesn't like being called "Vic" only Victoire.

Victoire is 23, and graduated 6 years ago.

I don't have a post for Al yet, because I don't really know how they'd interact quite yet, but I just saw this and got confused - I really thought Victoire would be 24??? Because her birthday's in May, and she's six years older than Al, and they've both had their birthdays (in the northern hemisphere school cycle, not for the year) and he's eighteen so surely she must be twenty-four by now? Unless I'm still screwing up how NH school system/Hogwarts ages work...

because september first, al's first year, al was eleven and she was seventeen, and this is the summer period, and al doesn't have his birthday until after septmber but vic's already had hers, so the six year gap should still be in place - same birthday situation as the start of school in his first year - and he's 18 so I would have thought she was twenty-four?

It's not a big thing, ahaha, just for my peace of mind, and also it could affect the amount of relationships/plots you could get Victoire embroiled in, which may be fun? :L

it's five am don't expect me to math, i'm essentially victor hugo in that regard ~guesstimation is basically the same as calculation right?

I just figured she was born 2000, May 2nd, so she'd be 24 this year. Unless wait.

Fuck.

War ended in 1998 or 1999?

Hi, sorry, just jumping in! (This is also Becca, by the way!) War ended in 1998, so Victoire would be born in 2000 and turning 24 in 2024. Buut because the game is set in July 2024 right now, she would already have had her birthday a couple of months back. Confusing with the dates being different to how they actually are, I know, sorry about that!

Anyway, Perry, replying to what I put before (I'm terribly sorry it's taken so long, I have a bad tendency to space on things): Louis still loves Victoire, whatever her feelings towards her family. Family (and by extension, friends, because he sees them as practically family) is the most important thing in the world to him. He'd vaguely understand her feelings of being very slightly different, because when he was younger, he used to worry that the Veela genes affected how people felt about him. He's basically over worrying about it now, though, since he's pretty sure his friends like him for himself, which is all that matters. These day, he kind of puts those old feelings down to early-teen-insecurities, and doesn't really see himself as any different from anyone else. He'll always try and make the effort to stay in touch with her, even when she's off doing her own thing. Is she out as asexual to her family, or? Louis came out as bi last year, which there's always the possibility Victoire wouldn't know, since she's been out of circulation...

As for Lily... she also loves her family to pieces, and would be a tad hurt if Victoire was cold towards her (she's a sensitive soul, my Lily, haha) and also possibly slightly intimidated. She's family, though, so Lily would stick by her whatever, if she needed to.

I also now have Emily Marsdon, who is almost 25 and would therefore have been just one year above Victoire at Hogwarts. She was also a Gryffindor, and now teaches Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts, so they'd probably vaguely know each other from school, and would definitely come across each other if Victoire comes to teach!

so yes, she's 24. I keep forgetting it's not January~
