Well, I don't think the whole intro spiel is really necessary any longer.

Sam here. I realized I wasn't really using most of my characters, so naturally, I had to make another.

I don't feel bad about this. I'm searching for one who will be fun to play, over-the-top, and older than my others. Hence Octavia Throckmorton.

She's a comedienne/presumptive Wizarding filmmaker (this is a new field). In addition to the pejorative xx chromosomes, she's over-the-top, ridiculous, takes life very lightly, loves to perform, and is both expansively friendly and rather too blunt.

I'd really like to get some nonserious, non-life-threatening plot that is nonetheless interesting. And also slow-paced, since we're all busy.

Help Sam learn to play women! It's a public service. :)

Whooo boy! Female Sam character, meet crazy male Carmen character. His name is Ross and he would make a great lead for a documentary on muggles. :D

Right now that's about all the ideas I have for these two, but I feel like they could be a really great pair, sort of like a Fred and George Weasley combo. We'll have to figure out a way for them to meet.

Octavia and Apollo have to meet! Pretty pretty please! They would be hysterical together. Plot wise i dunno what we can do... anything and everything! I was thinking about Apollo branching out an making a my little pony ranch. Dunno why I decided to write that down but maybe it will give you a plot idea? We will discuss this sometime.

Anyway Octavia and apollo will be friends if not through her maybe being a frequent customer at the shop or an amused reader of his articles thought their rather similar sunny personalities. For all I care she can use some of Apollo's antics as material.

As for Sofia and Octavia. Well sadly I don't think they will mesh or really even travel in the same circles * is sad*
