also! if i do pick up marie, there's no need to strike anything, because she is Unformed and In The Ether at the moment and i cherish any extra info i can scrape up, lmfao. as you may-or-may not know, sparky's (now marie :O exciting to give her a real name) personality was born when i put my music library on shuffle and decided that the first 5 songs would shape her character direction, lmao. so, i take my direction where i can get it.
— i'd love it if they were close. stop picking her up!! that's cheating!! you're a dirty cheater, CASEY patterson!!!!! — re: mean girling/ranking lists - that is ...... perfect. in my head, i think she sees herself as just a Fun Kid Having A Good Time (as opposed to deliberately antagonistic), but she's a whirlwind human who loves a good party and sticking her nose into people's business. she sees herself/her friends as an adorable ragtag bunch of clever misfits, but i think that actually they're like, a small collection of powerful terrors? so having her be one of the Listmaker Babies is ideal, if that works for you. — "painfully energetic, definitely not angelic, and a Quite a Handful" sounds exactly right. rn, i kinda think she's going to be one of those people who are 1000% into something and making their whole Look And Personality about that thing, only to left turn swerve into something else a few years later. good at a lot and committed to nothing. Exhausting. adorable, but exhausting.
that's okay, my y2 soph inspo came to me because, um. cheryl was considering a super sale senior but didn't want to write the history, so i suggested that her mother was just a small-town girl living in a lonely world who took the midnight train going anywhere, etc. etc. and now... now my soph's dad is from south detroit and tl;dr, the entire fucking character is based on a joke about a goddamned journey song AND it's always stuck in my head and sometimes i want to die but it's ok
i could give you a way more in-depth reply but instead i'm going to say

you Get the pattersons you really do

i hate this. i hate us. this is how all my characters come about. i want to know more about your freshsoph so bad now.
whispers: im so happy. i lvoe this family. let me know if you have LITERALLY ANY thoughts b/c i'll take any building blocks i can get. i think the only thing i haven't relayed here, re: her basic Concept, is that her "Passion" De Jour is divination, hence the username (although that can totally change if you had thoughts to the contrary; i'm not locked in or anything).
she's the most ethereal ether-child rn but i want her parents to have gained some fame as a singer-songwriter duo in their youth who are trying to relive their glory days through their musical children, but she Just Wants To Play Quidditch. the jury is out on whether or not her childhood was spent in a too-commercial family band.
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT NEVER CHANGE. i have pointless headcanon crap (like "they know how to mend clothing and cook because everyone had to help out in this chaotic household") but i could always just like email you that or give you access to his y2 draft. but that's also basically the entire thing. idk.
:OOOO i love this already? if she ever wants to give up on quidditch and join a girl band..... (points) ps: what house
EXCELLENT I LOVE THEM SHITS email me or show me the thing or whatever and i'll give you access to this baby's y2 app the hot second it looks... even remotely presentable
