meet marls mckinnon, seventh year gryffindor. status: stuck in one hell of a jam. from the word go, marls has never been keen on the whole pretty, pretty princess routine and it shows – she’s a little too sarcastic, a little too blunt and whole lot inappropriate. but she’s also pragmatic and loves her family so it’s only recently that she’s decided to, well, shine, in a word. the friendly girl walking on eggshells has been replaced by one steadily growing into a fearless young woman, stubbornly unafraid of anything and determined to show it. marls is a bit cocky, fairly intelligent and an absolute tomboy. she’s a sports nut, especially for quidditch, has been cultivating an obsession with the muggle way of life and enjoys a good party as much as the next person. you think she’s blindsided her family? believe her, they’re not the only ones. she’s loyal and protective over what and who she loves and she’ll stubbornly hang onto them because she knows what it’s like to be flung away at the drop of a hat. really, when push comes to shove, marlene’s a good person. maybe a little rough around the edges, but her heart’s always in the right place.

Lily&&Marlene
for sure these two would be friends. Since Marlene is on the quidditch team, Lily would at least know her for that, since she's friends with people who are on the team and ends up going to all the games. She probably would think that Marlene is super funny, and since Lily is super stubborn, I could see being arguments between them being intense haha. Lily is also a muggle born, so I could see Marlene asking Lily a lot of questions.

Fionna&&Marlene
Hmm, I think these two would get along pretty well. Fionna normally doesn't have friends who are girls, but she is obsessed with quidditch, so she could at least relate in that way. She mostly just hates girly girls and stuck up snobs. She doesn't like girls who swoon over guys at the drop of a hat, and that might be where these two get into some trouble together. I'm not sure, ideas?

Cissa&&Marlene
Narcissa would hate her. Not that Narcissa doesn't already hate everyone, but Marlene is too wild. Narcissa would think she's uncivilized and would say she's a disgrace to purebloods. Narcissa is very stuck up and snobby and would not get along well with her. Her family is also pretty close, although she does not get along well with one of her sisters and one of her cousins, but her family pretty much looks out for each other too. Anyways I see these girls not liking each other, but given the age difference, I don't think anything super bad would happen between them.

LILY&&MARLS

ha, i was just in the middle of writing in your plotter, so i'll kind of break it up and add on. please excuse the ramble; i know i'm terrible at it, but i can't help it : /. anyways, so i think marlene and lily could actually be really great friends. between classes and sharing a dorm room, there's likely been plenty of opportunity for them to get to know each other. i think in a way, marls would really look up to lily; here's this confident girl - a muggleborn - who goes against the grain of all the old school gender roles marlene's grown up with. who's talented and friendly and genuinely caring and not afraid to show it. so, um, maybe lily could have been the person who saw through all marlene's 'lay low and everything'll be cool' bull and finally convinced her to aim high. starting with the quidditch team of course. lawl, i can see them having terrible arguments too. marls would probably be all snippy and then eventually just go eff this... it wouldn't be pretty and i'd imagine marls would start knitting profusely afterwards. i think lily would also be a good anchor for marls, ensuring that she doesn't go too far, remains funny with her sarcasm and not hurtful - the foil to all those corruptive influences marley can't seem to get enough of. and maybe if she opened up, lily would probably be able to help her with her whole family situation, so maybe we could plot towards this sort of thing? and yesh, expect plenty of questions and owls throughout the holidays from marls. muggle studies would definitely be on her schedule, but there's nothing like getting it from the real deal.

FIONA&&MARLS

yeah i can see them doing all right together. marls would feel safe in fiona's company because they've got the same ideologies and they're both purebloods, so there's that too. i'd imagine they could perhaps be a little competitive with their quidditch. i dunno, it could be one sided; marls just lets her competitiveness run free in the face of sports, so maybe they could have a sort of friendly rivalry? since fiona is a bragger and marls kind of has to win. erm, i think marls might also be a little jealous of all her brothers too because she's always wanted a brother - all she's got is a bunch of cousins. as for the swooning, well, marley isn't really like that. she's just very physically affectionate with her friends and teenagers are not only prone to talking, but also insinuating all kinds of things. i mean, marlene has guy friends and she won't treat them much different than her girl friends, so that's where this reputation of hers springs from. ~buuuuut, it'd make for a great misunderstanding we could play with. possibly?

CISSA&&MARLS

oh yes, definitely. there's going to be a mutual dislike there. i mean, even though they may not have reason to associate with one another often, if at all, they're just so obviously at odds. narcissa is still this snobbish pureblood princess and marlene is getting behind women's/muggles/muggleborn rights. perhaps, if anything, marlene could respect and understand cissa's love of her family, but that'd be it. i doubt cissa would be the type to spread her opinions about marlene's family too publicly, like just in the slytherin common room and amongst her friends, so marlene would never have reason to snap at her. so, hmm. i don't think that was hugely productive, but it was something.

[DANIEL ADRIAN BLAKE]

Daniel- - -Marlene
welp, I would assume these two would actually make pretty good friends! danny's pretty sweet, and funny, and pretty flirty so unless that bothers her, they'd get along just fine! plus he's the seeker on the ravenclaw quidditch team so they'd have plenty to talk about there.

Cassy- - -Marlene
I can't really see a problem with them getting along either. Cassy's a bit of a fun, party girl and she would probably only be amused by Marlene's sarcasm and bluntness. She'd probably even encourage it because she finds it so humurous. And for these two they're even in the same house and year so they'd have to at least know each other

[MARLENE LESLIE MCKINNON]

DANIEL&&MARLS

in a lot of ways, these two are actually quite similar. they're both stubborn and seem to have the same kind of sarcastic humour/way of expressing themselves. not only that, but they're not afraid to let people know when they're pushing boundaries and then of course, as you've mentioned there's quidditch. so, i can see them getting along like a house on fire for the most part, but being really bad when they rub each other the wrong way. again, with the quidditch, marlene will probably use this as a source of playful ribbing and add an element of competition to the friendship. then there's the fact he's a muggleborn, which really, is just the icing on the cake. expect many ignorant questions from marls, okay! xD marlene is a little arrogant, so i don't know how danny would feel about that? as for the flirting, well, i don't see marls having huge issues with it. she probably wouldn't take it too seriously, rather as a bit of an ego boost, despite all her less desirable personality flaws and tomboyishness. though, i'd hazard her affectionate nature might lead to a lot of people thinking they're together. which could be super interesting because i think marls would view daniel as a sort of not-quite brother, with them being all snarky at each other, maybe a little competitive, but ultimately really caring. i can definitely see daniel as being one of her closer friends. idk, ramble, ramble. what d'you think?

CASSY&&MARLS

no, neither can i really. they'd definitely have to be friends. well, i'm glad somebody's going to like marls for her inopportune candidness, because believe me, it's not always going to be pretty : P. i think, in turn, marlene would have a bit of a love/hate with cassy's silliness. mostly, she'd love it; marley loves a good laugh and there's no doubt cassy's got one of those sunny personalities that makes people smile, but. well, i can see marls just being all exasperated 'seriously?' after a while. since these things have to be tempered and joking is all well and good, but sometimes it gets a bit much, yanno? as such, (and perhaps as the little bit more responsible of the two) marls might take it upon herself to look out for cassy a lot. maybe unconsciously mother her. lawl, that could be kind of hilarious. marlene would also not like cassy's nosiness, but only if she directed it at her. otherwise, cassy can go wild. blah, sorry if i'm totally off the mark here.

[CASSANDRA COLLETTE MATTHEWS]

Daniel- - -Marlene
Like a house on fire..I'm loving that as your description of their relationship haha! I could definitely see them getting snippy with each other and arguing a lot, but I feel like even if they did argue, the next day Danny would just blow it off like it never happened anyhow. And I'm sure Danny wouldn't really mind her questions, he'd probably just roll his eyes, answer them, and then change the topic. He might find her arrogance a tad annoying, and he might point it out but in a mostly joking way, or he'd probably just roll his eyes and ignore it (or make some expected sarcastic comment). I could definitely see them getting mistaken for being a couple too, which would be funny, and danny would probably just react to that by being all 'yeah we've been dating for four years, how did you not know?' and then just giving the person who suggested their status as a couple one of those 'really? are you serious?" looks. that or if they were together at the time someone asked them about it, he would probably be all silly and plant a kiss on her cheek and just be like 'how did you know?!' because he's just goofy like that haha. but yeah overall i could see them being super close, and he'd definitely be like a big-bro figure in some ways (not entirely with the flirting obviously, but being protective and caring and stuff!)

Cassy- - -Marlene
Yeah I could totally understand her getting annoyed with all of Cassy's jokes, and I'm sure Cassy wouldn't be too offended by it, but if Marley outright snapped at her, Cassy might avoid her for a few days because she'd be offended but after that they'd probably be fine and dandy again. And the mothering thing would be hilarious haha, Cassy would probably be annoyed with it and say 'whatever, mom' but I think it'd be adorable so I'd say you weren't really off at all!

[MARLENE LESLIE MCKINNON]

DANIEL&&MARLS

ha, brilliant! i can see marlene, maybe when she's approached so openly about it at first like 'wtf are you talking 'bout?', having a bit of an 'oh god, is this one of those dating but not really realising it things?' because marlene actually sucks at ~her romantic feelings. but, after that, she'd probably join in with his sarcastic declarations of love. hee. if you don't mind, i might start a thread for them. give me a bit to get it up (and figure in a location. any specifics) and i'll get right on it. X D

CASSY&&MARLS

hmm, i don't think marls would snap at her in a bad way very often. not unless there was crap flying at her from all over and she just loses it for that one second. marlene would want to hex herself afterwards, i'm sure. otherwise, yay! i'm happy with all of that.
