Broody and candidly disenchanted, Noel is a seventh year Gryffindor on the cusp of his final days at Hogwarts and quite frankly, he's just trying to make it through the year with a minimal amount of migraines. He's the astute type that would rather spend his weekends nose deep in a book and maybe with a nice handle of scotch. He's a pessimist to the max and not the most enjoyable to be around, unless of course you're a masochist that enjoys the disparaging rhetoric that pours out of his mouth.
But deep down, Noel is not mean. In fact, he's actually quite the decent person. He believes in true good and benevolence. He would never admit it, but his behavior speaks more of his character than he ever will. Intrinsically he's rather sensitive and emotional, which is likely the reason he puts on the cold front to his classmates.
...Friends? Noel was probably a bit of a bully when he was in his younger years. I can't imagine he has many close relationships with his classmates because of this. Certainly with age he's matured and mostly keeps to himself, but that doesn't mean he didn't burn plenty of bridges in the past. Those that do somehow manage to become his friend are likely to suffer a handful of sarcastic witticisms on their behalf so tough skin is advised. Of course, I would be interested in seeing Noel opening up to more friendly relationships as he is older and wiser now, but it would likely require a significant push on the other end.
Batty Riggs ; Best Friend ; Secret Keeper Numero Uno ; Slight grudge ; "There might have been a time where I had my doubts about our friendship, but I... I don't really know what it means to be a good friend, but I'm trying to learn, and Batty despite all her flaws has shown me loyalty that I don't think I've earned. I've been really shitty to her in the past, and I really do feel bad about it.
Ever since that night in the forest I've been trying to not blame her, and to forget about all the what-ifs going on in my head. What if Batty never went outside? What if she stayed put? What if she just listened to me... for ONCE."
Judge ; Close Friend ; Secret Keeper Numero Dos ; Frenemies? ; "Does this guy ever think before he talks...? And he better not get any ideas about Batts if he wants to keep his teeth. But I guess I'm stuck with him for better, or for the much more conjecturable worse."
Enemies are more likely. Noel's a jerk after all. He's pretentious as well, so there's another strike against his character. Most people he views as unenlightened plebs who are just a waste of oxygen.
Kaimana Ohme ; Enemies.... ish? ; "Sorry that I don't fall for your pseudo hippie bullshit, 'bruv'. You're just as much of an asshole as every other disgusting human being on this earth. But... I guess he's tolerable sometimes."
Daniyah Ohme & Émil Ohme ; "Brats."
Trent Travis ; Professor ; Fuck This Guy ; "shit teacher."
Lastly, Noel is a romantic at heart, and I mean this in the grossest way possible. He's passionate and brash and very much an all or nothing guy. Intimately he's not the type to jump from person to person and can probably get way too intense way too quickly. Be warned! Being in a relationship with this moody bundle of joy is likely to be an emotional roller coaster and not an easy task to take on.
Liz Reeves ; first love ; ex girlfriend ; formerly betrothed ; "I hope she catches syphilis."
Ana Gray ; Friendish ; "Cute freaky goth girl. Would snog if she wasn't such a frigid bitch."
Davina Jade ; Crush? ; Exenemy? ; Probably gonna get rejected but trying like hell anyways ; "Since when do annoying little shit first years grow up into cute nerd girls?
... I may have fucked up."

I feel like Batty and Noel would be good friends in a bad way lol. Since hes pessimistic and shes scared/quick to thinking bad thoughts I could just see them going back and forth about woes and worries and leading to insanity. But I feel like Noel would be annoyed with Batty being around, but Batty would enjoy clinging to someone who is as pessimistic as she is so she wouldn't really let that get her down. Thats all I got. I'm open to any plots or ideas of course

Batty RiggsI really like the idea of them being friendly actually! I think Noel would be an enabler to Batty's anxiety in all the worst kind of ways. Noel is constantly in the throes of existential crisis, and I can see him voicing this offhandedly (without really thinking about it) and throwing Batty into the worst kind of fit, lol. But you're right about him being annoyed with her- but it would be more like a mild irritation than full blown "I h8 u die". Deep down he wouldn't mind her and probably think she's a pretty decent person but his moments of sincerity are rare. Maybe he might have made fun of her a bit when she was younger? And eventually he can have this moment of "oh, I was a huge dick to you, why do we hangout again?" which might push him being a little bit nicer to her. Thoughts?

Noel BeckettOooh I like that idea. I did note that you mentioned he was a bit of a bully back in the day and she seems like the perfect target for that and then later transition to friendship somehow. And I like them being friends since they're both so pessimistic. Birds of a feather yknow

I think I see Davina coming to Hogwarts as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, overzealous First Year that wants to know EVERYTHING. She learns that Noel is a pureblood and instantly fancies him and tries to be his friend. Of course, this is a complete failure because this was during Noel's bully years and shatters Davina's illusions. For a while, she learns ways to make sure she never ran into him again because she was totally humiliated, probably in public, and can't stand being around him. Though many years later, she obviously doesn't have a crush on him any more, but she has no interest in interacting with someone that rejected her in such a manner. She finds it odd that he has changed so much, but don't dwell on it too much. As for the future, I'm up for anything except death. Any thoughts?

Davina Jadeugh, I keep forgetting about replying to this in the midst of playing constant post catch-up, I'm so sorry Stef. T.T I know you know that feel tho. I really like this, and I think Noel will feel bad about how he treated her in the past. Noel's 7th year is a bit of a "right my wrongs" year so I think it would be interesting to thread these two together with Noel apologizing to Davina. He's had a pretty substantial catalyst to his life happen recently, and he's probably going to take the time to try and prove to people that he can change. He wouldn't fault Davina of course for holding any kind of resentment: he was a shitty person, and he still absolutely can be. But he's still going to try, and he's really the type to get frustrated but continue to pursue his goals relentlessly. I really like Davina as a character so I would really like to see how it goes / how they thread together. I can see a lot of back and forth wordplay and Davina is very brazen. A girl like her could really put Noel in his place and he needs that. Maybe as he grows as a person he could develop a crush on her, which would be funny since Davina Is So Past That. But, given the recent development of his condition he would be reticent about that. Let me know your thoughts.

I think this is a lovely recipe for a beautiful disaster A lot has happened since Noel's initial rejection so Davina has plenty of changes in perspective since her First Year. She still wants to know EVERYTHING, but no longer asks for any help whatsoever. Noel was but the first of poor experiences with purebloods she's had here at Hogwarts. She would accept Noel's apology with suspicion, a grain of salt, and a small dose of curiosity. Though she no longer tries to befriend EVERYONE as she once did as a child, she still inherently sees the good in people and can respond positively to that... at times. It would be hilarious if he would develop a crush on her so many years later and definitely something I'd like to see if their interaction deems it likely. Having Noel trying to make amends while he is subject to his current condition would just make things that much more deliciously complicated. Love it! <3

I could totally see these two bonding over extensive hair care. Tobias is nothing short of obsessed with his own. Also he wasn't around for his bully years so he wouldn't know anything about that. They're in the same house so I could see that being something to bond over as well. Tobias would probably flirt with him a lot, especially in the beginning so I don't know how that would go over.
Since he's going to get in a romance with Kei first, I could totally seeing him trying to rebound onto Noel. The two of them in a relationship would be hilarious because Tobias has a habit of being very romantic, and coming off as everything the guy he's dating at the time wants for like a month before ditching them for a newer model.

Lachlan Strangways Sounds good! He's definitely a rude dude and won't hesitate to dish whatever Lachlan brings to the table right back at him. I can see some serious insults being thrown around, but you know, it's all good fun. In terms of being a straight up dickhead, Noel has calmed down substantially his 7th year, and as change is a main theme for his character it will probably continue down that path. Tobias Åstrōm Admittedly, I had to think on this awhile. Noel would be competitive about the hair thing, even though he hates competition because he's a petty hypocritical brat like that. Like, who is this scrub coming in and trying to claim his crown? Not on Noel Beckett's watch. Nope. He's going to be deep conditioning and charming the crap out of his hair far more frequently now, so you better prepare yourself for some pretty boy hairflips. As for the flirting, this is what I had to think on. Noel is definitely not straight though he is very heteronormative seeming. Prior to now, I haven't thought on it too much but he probably puts much more importance on romantic orientation over sexual. Sexually, I imagine he has a clear preference for women and has only dated them up to this point. Toby is definitely not his type regularly, and I suppose he can try to guess what his type is, but it may not be the most obvious answer. Honestly, I can see Noel mostly being into the quiet intelligent types being such a brute with a not-so-secret affinity for intellectual pursuits himself. so he'll probably be a bit weirded out by the flirting. Noel is definitely the kind of guy that prefers to do the pursuing. As of right now, I have him taking an interest in someone, and he's not the type to change his mind often or be easily dissuaded so it would take some pretty harsh rejection for him to get out of that mindset, and even then he takes awhile to get over people. Depending on how that pans out I can offer a clearer yay or nay response. Of course, regardless of who he's involved with he's going to be a fuckin' mess about it, being that he's a newly turned werewolf with all that savage guilt and angst.

Noel BeckettRE: Lachlan - you know the kinda friendship where it's sarcasm and who can be the biggest smartarse 24/7? I'm pretty sure that's what I was thinking when I wrote that. Also, I want a thread with Noel & Amantia at some point. But like, I dunno when would be appropriate in his timeline.

Amantia LoupSounds good! and as for another thread... right now I owe threads to a few people, which i should catch up on this weekend as well as closing up some of my currents, so i can add Ama up in the queue? As of right now, he's had his first transformation and he's still kind of trying to process it. He hasn't really made a stance on how he feels about the wolf thing (at first, tbh, he was just pretty scared), so I think a thread could be really interesting between these two in determining how exactly Noel feels about it all. She would definitely play an antithesis role compared to his friends I imagine.

ay ay ayyyy critter! i hope you don't mind, i'm just going to plot with all your characters here because i'm lazy afff. ; w ; Noel Beckett i can only see the two of them interacting at pureblood social events because matilda's family is all about the high class lifestyle. they don't really care about the politics or wizarding drama, they just want the alcohol and party invites basically. and they drag tilly to them in hopes of refining all her rough edges. (they don't really work because matilda just gets wasted and sleeps under the buffet table lbrrr) i don't feel like noel will like her much just because tilly's a complete air-head. and matilda probably thinks he's suuuuch a party pooper. but maybe she'll recognize a kindred spirit in him - if she pays attention long enough? but then again, if he's not friends with kai (and i assume tilly's going to be friends with him and emil) then they would probably just side-eye each other when they pass by. or ignore each other because matilda's not really the snarky type. so basically i wrote all of this to say 'idk probably nothing much here???' TT TT; Daniyah Ohme OKAY. i'll be honest, i didn't read her profile here and i'm just going off on malum memory and hoping her personality's the same?? BUT SHE'S A RAVENCLAW HERE. so maybe i should check. hm. hm. hm. okay i read it! be proud of me ; w ; but uh yeahhhhh really good friends for them? i mean, i'm sorta shoving myself at the whole ohme family because i'm an awful human, but dani and matilda would be perfect friends? i mean, she's not a grounded person like peter, so tilly will definitely be an enabler, and she'll be the one in the opposite jail cell if they ever did anything ridiculous (/slapped). i imagine that tilly is an optimistic person as well, but definitely not as much as dani. matilda's happiness stems from her blissful ignorance of everything. she's just so cooped up in her own rose-tinted version of society that she chooses to block out anything negative that could crack her fabricated world. so while, daniyah legitimately sees the good in everything, matilda just twists everything to her liking. i don't know if this would affect their friendship or not? just throwing it out thereeee. anywhooo ~ matilda would love dani and shower her with hugs and kisses because she's fabuuulous. this will probably be a pretty two dimensional friendship because i don't see tilly offering dani anything else besides 'fun' but NOT ALL FRIENDSHIPS HAVE TO BE DEEP??? /criessss. matilda and i are shallow peopleeee, i'm sorry!! Llewellyn Ludlow same year, same house!!! clearly means that they get along. right right right? idk. i just know that matilda would think his hair is greeeeat and she would want to style it all day, everyday. CRITTER I'M SO BAD AT PLOTTING, I'M SO SORRY.

Matilda PriestlyRIIIIIINA noel punched kai so that's a thing. he might have thought matilda was cute when they were kids and made fun of her mercilessly. I MISS PETER AHHHHH <3333 ahem NOW Daniyah is a little bit different in how I play her here. Of course she's outwardly exactly what you think. She acts very bubbly, sweet, but on here versus Malum she is definitely much more mischievous and ambitious. She likes to be a bit of a sneaky pot stirrer and social manipulator. For example, she spiked the punch at a party with truth serum and no one knew and everyone was going crazy. She pretends and lies quite a bit, but never to purposely hurt anyone... BUT her behavior has gotten her into a lot of trouble recently, especially in regards to Kai, so maybe she'll start learning her lesson. probably not tho haha. but I think Matilda is great. Dani would like her because she's kinda airy and she can get her way with her pretty easily, and Matilda would probably be supportive of any adventure she conjures up. She definitely needs some people on her side now seeing as she's made quite a few enemies as of recent. as for llewellyn... please tame his hair he cannot deal with it on his own. I feel like these two would talk about a lot of nothing but it would work because neither of them are really listening either. :')
