IC Prospective: Vashti (1st Year) (OC)

Character: Vashti Middens
Mun: Mordrid
Plot specific: N

Hi everybody! I'm Vashti Middens, and I'm really liking it here so far. The common room is a bit crowded (and it's kind of a little overwhelming!), but I expect houses don't normally bunk together, so. Anyway.

Dad said there are trips to the village for the older students? I don't know when the next one's happening, but I was hoping to make arrangements with somebody to get some blood lollipops for me when you go there. I'm willing to pay you back for them.

No thanks. The last time I had blood in my mouth, somebody decked me across the face.

I don't mind getting them for you, I suppose. How many do you want?

[skullsandstuff]

Ouch. Do you get into a lot of fights?

Hm. [She already has that other person getting her some, so...]

I guess ten would be good. I could make that last a bit.

[di_intraining]

No. I do a lot of boxing back home, and sometimes I get socked a little too hard.

Alright then. What's your name, and where and when can I pass them to you?

[skullsandstuff]

Oh. That's nice. The boxing, I mean, not the bleeding.

I'm Vashti Middens, and at breakfast would probably be the easiest time and place. I'm the only first year with green hair, so I'll be pretty easy to pick out.

[di_intraining]

Yeah, I miss it when I'm here. I don't think there's anyone else who's interested in it.

Vashti, green hair, breakfast. Got it.





Why do you have green hair?

[skullsandstuff]

I'm not sure? I was messing with Dad's potions equipment when I was a kid, and I must have made some kind of hair super-dye or something. It's just been green ever since.

Thanks for getting the pops for me.

[di_intraining]

Must get you a lot of stares when you go out then. At least it makes you easy to spot in crowds.

You're welcome.

[skullsandstuff]

Haha, yeah. I think most people assume Mum dyes it. It's been like this for a while, so I don't think about it much anymore.

[di_intraining]

It's definitely an eye-catcher. Ever thought of dying it back to your natural colour:?

[skullsandstuff]

Mum did that for a while at first. But I like this color. It's cool.

[di_intraining]

Guess that's a preference for you then.

[skullsandstuff]

Yeah, green's a nice color. It makes me think of growing things. Makes me feel more alive.

[di_intraining]

You can feel all of that without green hair, but I suppose each person's different.

[skullsandstuff]

It might as well be my natural hair color now, it grows this way. I don't see why I should have to hide it.

[di_intraining]

Suit yourself. It just seems strange, but as I said before each person's got a different idea of how things should be.

[skullsandstuff]

Yeah, I guess so. It just seems strange to me that you're so weirded out by green hair. I mean, I know it is weird, but it can't be the weirdest thing at Hogwarts, right?

[di_intraining]

It's not, but I can't say that I've ever met someone who's comfortable with green hair, whether they're a wizard or a Muggle.

[skullsandstuff]

Oh.




Well now you can!
