My best pals are my pets: my owl Spellz, my dragon Meolc, and my snake Thunder. What Spellz like doing the most is covering me with flowers, besides sitting on my shoulder, he is so small that likes hiding behind my hair sometimes. Meolc likes playing with his dino plushie and fly in open spaces, so every time I can go find her is more like she finds me since she sees me from very high. And Thunder, well he just likes squeezing my arm or my wand.

Kat always grew up with this mythical creature. Everyone believed it was her imaginary friend. However, when it kept showing up at school she realized it was far from imaginary. They were quick and always best friends!

Kyros was young when he found a tiny black kitten inside his family's state. He had no idea how it ended up there, but decided to take care of it before one of the snakes decided to eat it. He snuck out as much as he could to feed and pet the kitten, and was proud to see it grow into a beautiful, loving, playful cat. The cat, who he named Dante, has been his companion for a long time. Still today he remembers how it felt like playing hide and seek with him in his family's garden. Somehow, Dante always seemed to find him, but Kyros thought he didn't mind losing this way.

[img align=center]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/120862.png[/img][img align=center]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/120861.png[/img] Since Abilio, who attends Beauxbatons, and Sauvage have yet to learn how to apparate and disapparate, they are trying to make portkeys so that they can visit each other on the weekends. They've been getting desperate since they haven't seen each other in months, compared to them barely ever leaving one another's sides before Sauvage moved. They often took turns sleeping in each other's beds in the dormitories - no one at the school understood how they got away with it. So now, they wait until most everyone in their house is asleep; they sneak down to their common rooms and work by the fire. Abilio chose to use his Metaphysics textbook as a portkey that way it'll finally come of some use to him. And Sauvage decided to try making her portkey from old stuffed animals. They know that it is technically not allowed to make unauthorized portkeys, but...they also know that there is no way of detecting if a portkey is being made. Besides, what's the likelihood they get it right?

Sauvage / Hufflepuff

Outfit Not Found Fade always looks forward to summer vacation when he gets to spend time in the garden behind his parents house. He has made a number of friends there including a raven he calls Dyrim, and the neighbors two new kittens. He loves walking around barefoot and sketching while listening to music and occasionally petting any animal that wanders over. The Kittens are very interested in both the bird and the flying unicorn toy that is usually floating around Fade's head. His other cat Chase of course prefers to hide up in a tree and watch the goings on from a safe distance.

Fade, Ravenclaw

Elune enjoys exploring new passages around the castle with Max (). Tonight, they discuss their favorite bands as they row across the Great Lake. In hindsight, maybe the lake was a bad idea... (peers at tentacles coming out of the water).

Neville / El, Ravenclaw

Private Outfit

Max loves to go read with El at the library it´s just so relaxing. The boat trip across the lake scared him a bit though. Good thing no one fell into the water. He definitely prefers the library over the lake seriously. Max O´Conner/Slytherin

Starling, Slytherin

Private Outfit

Elizabeth's best muggle-friend at home, Carlotta (or Lotta). Her parents own a bakery in their home village, Cottenham. The two friends send each other packages with sweets (Lotta sends treats from the bakery while Elizabeth chooses muggle-safe sweets from Honeydukes) regularly - though Lotta gives the sweets to Elizabeth's parents first as she obviously can't send them to Hogwarts directly.

Charlotte's got a few sporadic friends here and there, but mostly she sticks to herself and her books, and her cat, Venny. He is a long haired brown tabby, and they tend to spend their spare time curled up together while she's reading a good book. He follows along sometimes, as if he can actually read.

Becca, Gryffindor I know Charlotte isn't an official RP character but I haven't been able to add her to the roster due to the top still being closed.
