I bring to you Nina, a rather precocious Hufflepuff. She's sixteen, vain and has been bullied by her mother into reaching above her own social class. She isn't one to harm others, she's more concerned with herself. Occasionally something will pull at her heartstrings - especially the sight of someone being bullied or lorded over but she tries to avoid caring. Putting others before yourself will get you nowhere.

Her main concern is her appearance, she relies on it because she's painfully aware that she isn't as intelligent as others. That doesn't stop her from trying to achieve the best grades she can, but it's still a downer to see someone breeze through a subject because they're smarter. Nina likes to read books with happy endings and draw pretty things because it's what she dreams about. She wants a more glamorous lifestyle than the one her family can provide (and they can't provide for much, really).

> FRIENDS: Nina has been taught her entire life to be polite, gracious and charming. I think friends she'll have plenty but they won't feel a true connection with her. She will maintain a certain distance: they can't see her angry or crying. In return, she pretends to care for them but she really doesn't - especially if your sob story bores her. Most of them will be people to have fun with - not real, strong friendships.

> ENEMIES: She isn't harmful by nature - she's too self absorbed to go pick a fight. The people who are her enemies will be those who call her out on her facade, who see what a fake she actually is. She doesn't like the people who see through her after all the effort she's put into being "perfect".

> LOVERS: I guess she'll have one or two ex-boyfriends but they weren't really a big thing. Nina saw them as stepping stones in the social ladder. Secretly, she craves her own fairytale so most likely, from the right person, any pretty words that make her feel special could gain a soft spot in her heart. But she'll be tough to win over - not just anybody can be her other half.

Tristian&&Nina
I can actually sort of see these two being some form of friends. Tristian is very cunning, he should be in Slytherin really, but he's a Hufflepuff by choice. He is also very loyal to those that he actually likes. He is the type of person that if one of his friends was being shot at he would take the bullet for them, though his friends are few. I don't know how close they would start off or anything, but I think they could end up to be pretty good friends.

Lycoris&&Nina
They are in the same year, and Lycoris is one of the people who also likes to protect others. She is also quite unliked by the rest of her family, and is also somewhat seeking approval, so maybe these two could support each other in some sort of way, someone who understands what the other is going through.

Eva&&Nina
I don't really know. Eva would have been in her 7th year when Nina was in her first, and Eva is an ex-Hufflepuff. So ya, I dunno. Eva is also the nurse at Hogwarts, and a half-blood as well. so really, there are some possibilities, but I leave leave this one more up to you with what they are, if anything.

Tristian&Nina>>

I could really see him influencing Nina, actually, since she's a very shades of grey person. Not many values and morals to speak of. I think the fact that they both know about keeping up an appearance is another factor that'll help them get along. I think they would certainly know each other in the beginning but the moment they see through each other's facades would be interesting. Oh! And I just realized your play-by and my play-by are the ones from "Remember Me", lol.

Lycoris&Nina>>

I could see them having an understanding because of what you said. I don't see them as reallyyyy close, because Lycoris seems a bit too open for Nina to relate, but they could be someone that the other respects. I'm not sure exactly how it'd be that they'd find out about their situations with their respective parents, though...

Eva&Nina>>

I'm blank on this one, really... I think they'd interact when Nina has to go to the Hospital Wing (which isn't very often)... Maybe she could offer words of advice from time to time? Is that okay? I can't think of anything else since I'm falling asleep...

[tristian nathanial kilgour]

Tris&&Nina
Would he be a bad influence? lol. But I agree, it would be interesting to see their reactions through the facades. Though, Tris doesn't mind students knowing as long as the teacher's don't see through it, lol. And you are so right about the PB's, I didn't notice that before you mentioned it. Awesome movie!

Cori&&Nina
Ya, they probably wouldn't be too close. As for how they would find out about the other's situation, Cori is quite open about it. When he older siblings were in school they used to tease her and such, and she also gets a number of letters from her parents braging about things her siblings have done, so it is quite well known about her situation, it's just Nina's that isn't. I dunno...maybe Nina could have been hiding away from her friends or something like that, and Lyc stumbles upon her, and they get to talking somehow?

Eva&&Nina
Ya, words of advice is fine. Sorry, I'm a little tired myself.

Tristian&Nina>>

Yeah, he'll have her with a Dark Mark and doing Voldemort's bidding in no time, lol. But I don't know how they when they would see through each other (or he sees through her facade). I think it'd be fun for it to be in a public place, since it'll be difficult for Nina to be calm. She'd be all "inhale... and... exhale" in her mind.

Lycoris&Nina>>

Yeah, that would work... Like maybe Nina's mom sent her a letter (so cliché, lol) and she got upset? I can see her going into the more quiet parts of the castle to be away from her friends. Then Nina would spill her sob story.

Eva&Nina>>

Yeah, this sounds about right. Nina'll hate to be in the Hospital Wing, though. It'd put her on edge.

[lycoris faith sunders]

Tris&&Nina
Awesome, I like being a bad influence on people. So much fun. I could see it happening in the TB's as a where. How they get there is a different story. Kinda let the posts go where they go sorta thing sound good?

Cori&&Nina
Ya, that could work. Cori would be all "I understand that completely" and try to help her out a little

Eva&&Nina
Well, doesn't always have to be in the hospital, Eva will wander around the grounds randomly as well, lol, though it would be funny to see Nina on edge about something
