Welcome to Hawthorne Academy, an elite private college tucked away in upstate New York that's more difficult to get into than any Ivy or top-tier international school. It also happens to be home to some of the oldest magical artifacts known to exist, it's own private railway and what may or may not be a portal to another dimension. Admissions decisions were just released: were you accepted?

An IMPORTANT note about story length; please read before you do anything else



An important note about judging: Story writing contests are notoriously difficult to judge and so in addition to two winners for each round (best story and best dressed), there will be participation banners for each participant. All banners will be uploaded after the final round. Additionally, the winners in each round will receive a bonus going into the text round.

To keep scoring transparent, the best story winner will be awarded 10 points for the round. The best dressed winner will be awarded 5 points for the round per outfiit. All other contestants will receive 5 points for their story and 3 points per outfit for their looks.



Basic Rules

One entry per participant with a consistent look and personality throughout the contest (any major alterations e.g. hair color change must be explained in the story in some way e.g. you don't have to detail the process of dying your hair but another character should notice it).

This contest is 5 rounds, every round will last 72 hours

The contest is both edit and non-edit

Please keep my characters as I wrote them. Most of us know Tonk's Lucifer rule, it's a great one, please follow it.

Story: I chose Hawthorne Academy because I wanted to go to a school with a good reputation and one that would really help me with the future. I hope that it will help me achieve my dreams. I went to the Freshmen Fun Run. I like sports, so the run was fun for me. 15 miles is quite long though. I had to stop a few times, and I was not the only one! I  got to meet some of the students, although I did not talk much. There was only one guy that I talked to; Jasper. We took a short break at the same time and introduced ourselves to each other. After a small chat I have enough confidence to talk to him the next time I see him. I hope that I will get to know the students better and make some friends soon!

Name: Adalind Slutsky

Age: 19

Face Claim: Barbara Palvin

https://photo.likeafashionista.com/gb/1/66/moy/52659.jpg

Personality Traits: exacting; audacious; retro aesthetic

Interests: A.J. / Melissa / David [friendship]

Story: 

Always on the fast-track, Adalind had tunnel-vision regarding Hawthorne - nothing else would do, she simply can't fail at getting admitted. Or rather she simply 'kahhn-t'. That was her one indulgence.. okay, I lied, one of many. An affectation of her own affection for received pronunciation. Language today could be so inelegant, and though she put no stock in first impressions, she did believe in creating one with the choices you made. Her love of both Donna Reed and serial killers may inform on her personal style or the voices in her head, but those voices had best learn proper elocution if they wanted her to heed!

She arrived at the Academy. Oh, did she plan to arrive.

This would be the stepping stone to a successful and profitable future, unlike the one she left behind. Best not to delve.

https://photo.likeafashionista.com/gb/1/66/moy/52658.jpg

She passed by a brunette at the sophomore hall, commenting on her text tights with the most perfectly pink-hued poodle skirt festooned with rosettes. She barely looked up from her comic book with big doe eyes, and it gave Adalind another idea - scratch 'n sniff comic books. Or just books. Stories.

She played the thought out in her head as she followed the map that had come in her welcome packet. Adalind had ambitions to learn and cultivate a whole new market for spellcasting. Hawthorne was rumored to have access to ancient artifacts, alchemical wonders that Adalind was positive the phrase "if only you could bottle it" was made for. Not hokey hippie love potions or eye of newt, but a place that could dispense small vials of mood-altering elixirs that gave your self-esteem a boost. She was a big believer in mind-over-matter, and knew how susceptible most people were. A careless word here, a gushing one there, and a person was involuntarily open to suggestion, physically feeling their spirits depress or take flight. The pharmacological implications were enormous, the psychiatric community had certainly figured that out, pumping veins full of everything from aspirin to xanax. She wanted a piece of that pie. And if she had to bake it with toe of frog or four and twenty blackbirds, so be it!

She wanted to embark on her own empire of parfumerie pharmacy, if you will. Finding the right concoctions she could work into a powder that you could either scratch the thought bubble in your favorite tome about a barefoot princess or a masked avenger and voila, instantaneously take on their personality, as if you could live their life, instead of the one you were stuck in.. or keep a small store in your pillbox ring for dispensing surreptitiously into your loved one's tea.. uh.. voila?!

It was ironic when she found herself a few moments later stuck in an elevator with a gaggle of girls drenched in a sickeningly cloying cologne. When they got off and it was just Adalind and another girl, they turned to each other and burst out in a confused crossing of mad coughing and giggles. Waving her hand through the soiled air, she introduced herself as Melissa and they jumped out of the lift, agreeing that heady scents were the worst and people who tortured the general public with their "personal scent" should go to the gallows. That may have just been Adalind's opinion. But they did concur that waterboarding couldn't be worse than a windpipe smothered in Jean Nate.

They had only chatted for a few moments, but Adalind liked her. She also liked that she was slightly older. Adhering to the adage that you should dress for the job you want, not the one you have, she planned to mingle with the juniors, as she always liked to be one step ahead and wanted to be enmeshed in that world, rather than the lowly one she may temporarily be stuck in.

So though she had an invitation to the Sophomore Slumber Party that night, she wandered the campus a bit before ducking into the catacombs. A guy who dug her Playboy-bunny-meets-Esther-Williams pajamas told her about A.J. Kincaid, who had a reputation for being the head of Hawthorne's most prestigious secret society. That sounded amazing and fraught with prosperous possibility, she had to track him down.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be with tonight's set of teeny-boppers, some who gave new meaning to the term 'sophomoric'. Adalind assiduously applied her face mask and adjusted her hair net - she always scooped her hair back in a net, it kept every strand in it's place, always presentable. It was a little difficult getting to sleep, not from the chatter but as she was used to her stand and had to leave it back at her room. It was a vintage one from the MGM studios. Back in the day when they would sew actresses into these form-fitting gowns, they would tilt them back on these dollies so they could stay standing rather than attempt sitting, which was impossible when the fabric cocooned as tight as a second skin. It was a good name for it, dolly, because she always felt like a life-size doll coming in out and out of her display box for the night. And that was fine with her. If it helped with with perfect posture, it was one extra thing she could work on during the useless hours of sleep.

Story When I think back on it, I cannot remember a time that attending Hawthorne Academy was not the top priority in my life. Sorcery runs in my family and I have been focused and determined to earn a degree in Parapsychology from Hawthorne since I was very young. With the help and support of my family, my dreams came true. And now, dream number two, performing at Hawthorne's traditional Junior Jam has finally come true. I was so excited to show everyone my singing skills on stage! To be honest, it sort of turned out more of a comedy than a vocal success but it was great fun! Life is too short to take things so seriously right? Anyway, I got a chance to mix and mingle with a lot of the other juniors. I think I really hit if off with a pair, Mateo and AJ who were talking about one of the sophomore's, Rafael, practical jokes that he had just done recently. He sounds wild... and interesting. Perhaps I will see them all around sometime soon.

Story I decided to attend Hawthorne Academy to discover the truth about the rumor regarding the portal that leads to another dimension. No other portals were discovered in history, so I'd really like to know what is hidden behind it.  The Fun Run held for Freshmen was a perfect opportunity to start digging around. Although I don't yet know my way around the place, stopping to catch my breath gave me enough time to snoop a bit around in the woods. Obviously I ended up getting cut off from the other Freshmen and I was lost, by myself, in the woods. As I was walking around trying to find the others, I accidentally stumbled upon the Juniors at their Junior Jam. Some time passed by and it came to my senses that I was with the wrong crowd! I saw a guy with black hair approaching me but I didn't want to get caught on my first day, so I ran away. Eventually I ended up finding the Freshmen once again, and my absence went unnoticed.

Round 1 is now closed. (sorry I have an early morning tomorrow and have to get to bed)

Welcome to Round 2!


Round 1 Winners



Now that you’ve all had a chance to make your first impressions, it’s time to get settled into life at Hawthorne. Unlike traditional schools where students are separated based solely on their grade level, at Hawthorne the school is also broken up into three houses allowing for greater interaction among the student body. The houses are the elementals, the kinetics, and the chaotics, and you’ve already been sorted. Because AJ isn’t a student, he doesn’t belong to any of the houses.

The Elementals: BearHugs6



The Kinetics: Chayanne03



The Chaotics: Siri



This round will encompass three months: September, October and November.

In September you’ll be starting classes and becoming equated with your house mates. At the end of the month you’ll be expected to display an example of your power to your housemates. No one expects this to be perfect.

For the entire month of October Hawthorne celebrates Halloween as their version of New Years. On the 31st you can choose to go to a séance in the grand cathedral where you’ll be given a chance to commune with the spirit of your choosing, a scavenger hunt in the woods that will end with moonlight picnic, or tea in the fairy court where you’d be wise not to give anyone your name, eat any of the food or be impolite at all.


The séance in the grand cathedral will be attended by the following extras:

Abby, Sam, Jasper, and David

If you choose to go to this you must wear all white, including your accessories.

The scavenger hunt in the woods will be attended by the following extras:

Rafael (he’s there solely to make trouble by creating fake items for people to find), Mateo, Connor and Michelle

If you choose to do this dress warmly and wear flat shoes

Tea in the fairy court will be attended by the following extras:

AJ, Stella and Mara

If you choose to do this dress as if you’re going to a fancy tea party and be sure to include a hat

November is full of studying but it’s also when the secret societies on campus start selecting recruits. Knowing this some students try to do things to stand out, others though do nothing at all. How you act is up to you though. Additionally, you can also choose whether you want to go home for the Thanksgiving holiday or stay on campus. Most of the extras will go home for the holidays but AJ, Sam and Connor are staying behind.

For round 2 please include all of the following:

Name

Story Tell me about your first three months, include things like being sorted, how you displayed your power, what you did for Halloween, and whether or not you went home for Thanksgiving and/or tried to get noticed by a secret society (you can of course include anything else you think is relevant and write as little or as much if you like). This round should end right after Thanksgiving. The impressions for the characters that you indicated being interested in are in the post directly following this one.

Outfits Show off what you were wearing when you displayed your power and your Halloween look. The look for Halloween should be appropriate to the activity you chose.

Interests (up to 3 BUT please include at least a brief interaction with them even if it's only seeing them in a particular place and having a thought about them so I have something to base the impressions off of).

This round will end at 10pm on November 23rd.

Name: Adalind Slutsky

Story: So this wasn't going well.

Their first big assignment had her in a tizzy. The dean had called her in, disappointed, not finding a direct fit for her in any of the houses. Adalind wasn't crushed, she wasn't there to play house, she was more into passing go and collecting $200. Besides, she had seen Revenge of the Nerds, she knew this pledge thing didn't end well. So she assured the powers-that-be that she would manifest her powers-to-be impressive enough to allow her to continue her studies.

Spoiler: This is where it started to not go well.

She liked to roam the gardens, there was a majestic labyrinth that had captured her attention. There she had met David. Perhaps 'met' was too strong a word. As he was clearly a man of few of those, at least he didn't seem to mind when she joined in on some of his meditative studies.

Perhaps 'meditative' was too strong a word, for Adalind, as she found it far too hard to quiet the many warring voices in her head, none of which apparently belonging to a yogi. But she made an effort, as he projected such a sense of calm & peace, it was contagious. And slowly the embers of an idea began to take fire.

Unfortunately.. literally.

Coming from Greek studies, Adalind found herself walking down the path towards the labyrinth, an image of the minotaur came to mind and the hopeless task beset upon Odysseus.

Perseus?

Theseus? It was an "us", okay? Let's go with it.

And so she did.

Because if he, who we dare not speak his name, could find a way out of that hellish gauntlet, surely she could be cunning enough to pass one lousy exam - her professor was certainly as stubborn as a bull.

She liked to think she had woven quite the tapestry, befitting the Moirai weaving their fates. Why couldn't she just pluck at one of those loose threads and.. unravel the whole shebang! Take matters in her own hands and make her own destiny! Her presentation would be so hot!

"Aaaaa!"

Lost in plot, she barely turned her head as an axe blade sang a song by her ear, just nicking her hair net and allowing a few tendrils to go rogue.

"Ss-sorry!" the boy gulped apologetically as he ran by to retrieve his weapon. Sam. Not the type you would have thought would be part Sioux, but there he was on most days out practicing his skills. He grinned and Adalind rolled her eyes, patting her coiffure and waving a hand. It hardly mattered.

She really had to focus anyway. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Weren't we talking about the Greeks?

I told you, it hardly matters! It's all Greek to me!

So Pompeii, right? You know the saga? At least that was what she told the class as she stood up there, perfectly in character, presentation was everything and finally there was an appropriate reason to wear a toga on a campus.

She had been working on her Elementals and figured if she could hone her fiery temper, perhaps she could bring forth that fire that always seemed to fizzle out during pop quiz time. Again, her meditation taught her she needed to focus.. she was a volcano.. bubbling forth with lava and brimstone..

Okay, fine. She did what she always did and over.. did it. Her temperature rose, skin so hot to the touch that it went white-hot, leaving a sickly grey sheen pallor that took it's sweet time dissipating over the next two months. Singeing the ends of her hair black, even!

It was awful. She was a laughing stock. Pretty sure she was gonna be expelled.

You don't want to know what happened next.

She heard about the seance they were throwing for Halloween, check.

She was so stoked, she showed up in homage to the Whitechapel lasses who had lost their lives to Jack the Ripper, hoping to make contact with him!

You should have seen the commotion that caused! She was at a loss, she had worn all white as requested, what was their damage?

Before they started throwing tomatoes, she backed down the path, remembering the tea party on other side of the quad. A.J was gonna be there. She had been avoiding him since the whole 50 shades of grey thing.. but she really wanted to try to get in to the secret society. Maybe she could crash their little shindig....

Yeah, yeah.. formal attire and hat required. What was it with schools and dress codes?

She stumbled through the woods, luckily her dagger making for a makeshift machete. At the edge of the gates, she swiped one of the Halloween decorations, a giant paper mache spider, and weaved it's legs under her hair net so that she could make a proper entrance. Arachne would be proud.

Or at least the Mad Hatter.

You wanna know what happened then? I think it would be best be described by the look of sheer disgust on Princess Stella's face.

And thank the gods that that is another story.

Name: Adalind Slutsky

Story: "Hey, Lindy Longlegs!"

Apparently Rafael wasn't as over Stella as he liked to pretend. It was clear that someone at the coffee klatch tea party had spun a web about my spur-of-the-moment arachnid capper caper. It surely wasn't Mara.. though we all knew he would like that.. she never lifted her eyes from instagram and he eschewed that Kodak moment. So my guess was Rihanna's own Stella-ella-ella, the fashionista who spread goss from her lips even more than gloss.

"Guess your own Black Widow couldn't keep my business under her hat?"

"Ya know we're encouraged to be curious cats here, I take my education seriously."

I regarded his dark eyes and with a hand on my hip, shot from it: "In French, chat, chapeau."

"In Spanish, el gato in a sombrero?"

"Aah, touche." I didn't have much time for my peers, wouldn't mind most of them taking a long walk off a short one.. pier, that is.. but I dug Rafael's moxie. Turns out he wanted to extend an invitation to his D&D frat.

"It's G&G = Gods & Goddesses? The Incarnates?"

"Uh huh. What makes it so prestigious?"

He snorted back, a curly lock falling over his forehead, "If you have to ask.."

"Just because your group is hush-hush, doesn't equate it with a true secret society, Rafe."

"Holding out for the Order? Talk about under-the-radar -"

"Better than being over-your-head," I shrugged.

"Whatever." He seemed quite chipper to be off, his chore done & dusted and mine just begun. I was taking a gamble turning down the Incarnates, and maybe it would have been the Hawthorne move, but I knew there was a big ol' world outside these hallowed grounds, even if most of my classmates were under this mouldy thrall.

I tried to keep that in mind as I struggled through my courses, this whole magicks 'thang not coming naturally for me. My mind wandered and always seemed to focus on the true mysteries. Which I was very excited to find out that David also shared a love for. It was a brief interlude, but one day in the labyrinth, I saw a book drop from his backpack and after picking it up, I told him how much I adored "Murder on the Orient Express".

"I have to tell you, it was one of the selling points of working so hard to get admitted here. Can you believe they have their own private railway? I am dying for a murder mystery party onboard, aren't you? It feels so Miss Fisher, I love it!"

He gave his patented quite smile, but added a knowing nod, which for David McGee said volumes.

Just as enigmatic but far more loquacious, was A.J. Kincaid. And he could say it all with just a look. Oh yeah, heavily dapper. But I meant with just a look in your direction. An arched brow, a slight smirk, he was a haughty hot toddy of a hottie! And for whatever insane reason, he had noticed me! Guess who's got a date to the ball, Cindy?

Bereft of sweatshop worker mice, I had to come up with the perfect ensemble myself. Sans magic! If there was something I could do with my own two hands, it was crafting together a mistake that you couldn't take your eyes off of!

I know, I know, you think this a roundabout, longwinded, scenic route.  You won't be disappointed.

Well, not for the reasons you think.

I went for the brightest, most bodacious hues I could choose. Decorating myself as a human present just begging to be unwrapped. A smoky eye to smolder and obfuscate. Add some fire, a penetrating stare to pin you down like a butterfly to a board.

Finish with a pale, nude lip - to speak the naked truth.

I glitter, therefore I glam!

I think A.J. was pleased enough, at least he didn't suddenly get a call from his sick third cousin twice-removed and have to excuse himself. I consider that a win!

"My Yuletide has come in. I've been trying to think up a subtle way to suss out your feelings on the Order of the Dusk."

"I didn't know you did subtle."

"I didn't know there were things you didn't know, Kincaid."

That earned me a reward of a cool chuckle. "Rafael mentioned as much."

I sighed. "I'll be sure to say a kind word over his grave."

He shook his head amused and looked down at me. "I can't tell you how it will end up, that's up to you, but I know you'll be receiving an initiate invitation for the Order come the new year."

"Oh!" I bounced in my heels and grabbed his lapels in excitement. "Really? Would that make you my psychopomp?" I leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I'll be your pompous psycho!"

He gently removed my hands and straightened his jacket, clearing his throat with what sounded like a cross between befuddlement and approval. "I had no doubt, Adalind, you're lawless and flawless."

"SlutSKY's the limit." We bowed at each other and sashayed into the soiree.

That was a fabu night. So you just know it was all downhill from there.

Yeah, I was stoked to get the coveted RSVP to the Duskies. But just like all things Hawthorne, they had to make it as dsifficult as possible. Before I would even be considered, I had to attain a.. wait for it.. hair.. hair?.. from not one.. not two.. wait for it.. three other people! A strand of hair from a stranger? Do I look like Marie Laveau?

From people I barely knew! Of course, who's to say that we ever really know anyone anyway? Maybe deep down we're all really really BFF's 4eva & eva?

Yeah, I wasn't buying it either, I only play a ditz on tv.

Anxiety.

Depression.

Anger.

It's not a wishlist. Seemed like the stages of Hawthorne grief. And did I seem like I had strong coping skills to start with? Cha!

All the leaves were brown and the sky was gray, so I went for a walk on a winter's day. I stopped by a church I passed along the way, and well, I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray. The shadow of a lissome brunette fell over me, she had been in the churchyard studying a tombstone.

"Oh, e.e. cummings, I didn't see you there," I jumped up and wiped the grass from my knees. "But I did see you at the Yule Ball, Ella Emerald Elderbrook! That's what they should have christened you with, you were a vision in that emerald frock! And how you do make this.." I waved my finger up and down in front of her. ".. this preppy plaid schoolgirl work for you, it's a wonder, indeed. We need to commemorate this moment, selfie? Yeah, selfie!"

I threw an arm over her shoulder anedr hugged her close until our heads banged together. "Oww!"

I wasn't sure if her exclamation was from the concussed noggin' or the pinch when my strategically placed barette scraped the side of her scalp. When I removed it later, though my hair net still kept all my follicles in line, I had a shiny strand of darker hair caught up in the works of the clip, which I happily snipped and placed in an envelope. One down, two to go.

Aww, nuts & bolts, this one was ridiculous. Connor Price? I didn't even know him or what his price would be, but I was pretty sure I couldn't afford it!

Connor, Connor, Connor.... I murmured to myself as I headed towards the senior dorms. I actually thought I might have a better shot at finding the quarry with the juniors, given that if I knew anything about him at all, it was that he was remora to Melissa's shark. You'd be tempted to tell them to get a room but.. they were always in the same room!

I had to take the chance, Melissa was so observant and suspicious, I didn't have much of shot at pulling the wool over her eyes. Not that isolation offered me much either, as Connor did not seem to have any chinks in his armor, he pretty much was as he seemed, a standup guy who wasn't likely to fall for my shenanigans.

But if she was his Scully, could he be Mulder? Could I make him believe?

When faced with such an algebraic quandary, I found it best to just barrel ahead through the china shop, bulldoze my way over the obstacles, that's just how I.. auroch.

I'll be here all week, folks, don't forget to tip your waitress.

I found his name under the listings and went up to his floor. There was music playing.. from behind like every other door, it was a dorm, keep up.

But not Connor's. Maybe he was wearing headphones. Then I would definitely need to be loud. Louder.

Louder!

His door flew open and the young man looked a tad startled as he got whiplash looking down both ends of the hallway and only finding me. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That scream?"

"Oh, did it sound like this?" I proceeded to scream bloody murder.

"Yes!" He knocked his headphones off and they dangled around his neck while his pupils dilated.

"Oh, sure, that was me."

His Adam's apple bobbed as he gulped in confusion. "You.. that was you? What.. why?"

"You ask a lot of questions, that's very forward of you and we haven't even been properly introduced. But I'll forgive you if you help me out."

"Out of what?" he started to regain his composure, running a hand through his hair and getting ready to go back to his privacy.

I stuck my foot in between the door and jamb. "Wait.. wait, wait. I'm a friend of Melissa's!"

He gave me a look that spoke volumes about how intimate he was with the entire workings of the Encyclopedia Melissaca.

"Well, more like acquaintance. But though she may not speak highly of me, she speaks highly of you."

"Highly? Is that it, are you high? She doesn't speak of you at all."

"I know, I know but.. please!"

"Who are you?" He seemed more puzzled than bothered and I thought that was a good juncture to jump off the curb into oncoming traffic.

"I just.. I've been on this juice fast, bottle after bottle after bottle, so much with the liquid! I'm gonna float away, but right now, I really would give my kingdom for a -"

He interrupted wryly, "A horse?"

"No, Shakespeare, for a restroom. Though I definitely have to pee like a racehorse. Could I please use your ladies' room?"

"I... ah.." Yes, definitely picture that look where you just know someone has no clue what on Earth is happening. ".. I don't have a ladies' room."

"That's okay, I'm not a lady." I used his apoplexy to squeeze by him before he caught my arm and held fast.

"Hey! You always get what you want?"

I opened my eyes wide. "Well, when I don't, things tend to get -"

" - Messy?"

I feigned despair. "You cut me to the quick, good sir. But I like people who are quick. I was going to say they get the attention they deserve until my point of view is accepted and agreed upon."

He looked around as if there would be someone there to translate for him, or at least commiserate with.

I took that opportunity to start bobbing again and whimpered until he let go of my arm and waved towards the bathroom, giving up with a: "Go ahead."

I beelined for his honeycomb and once the door was shut, immediately started going through the cabinet drawers until I found the treasure, his hairbrush! I pulled a couple strands from the bristles, wrapped them in a tissue, flushed the toilet, washed my hands.. I'm very method.. and whirled out. "Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver, and I do mean all five flavors. Except grape. No one likes grape!"

Before he could ponder, I bid him adieu and ran out the door, pretty sure they would be putting up a wanted poster of my visage in the senior dorm for someone to take me down dead or alive.

Well, it was nice to be wanted anyway. I hope they got my good side!

Just kidding. They're all good sides!

January insisted on playing it's boring tune, where nothing of any consequence happened until the day of the Dusk and I still hadn't managed to get a McGee hair. Rapunzel, Abby wasn't. She wasn't sitting still in any tower and seemed to disregard decorum, making it hard to find a way to ingratiate myself. Truly her brother's antipode.

And I liked David. He was so.. normal. A most unusual specimen. Secure in hid ways. When do you ever see that? I couldn't disrupt that zen! Really, I was at a loss. Midterms were coming up. I had come down with some nasty virus that made my sinuses pound. Hawthorne was starting to get to me. And now I was out of time. It was the night of the initiation ceremony.

I moved slowly. Laying out my outfit. Taking a hot shower.

It's just like a regular shower, only I'm in it.

Yeah, I'm sick, not dead.

The best I could do was take an extra strand from Connor's stash and place it in the envelope and hope that they wouldn't be going CSI to differentiate the DNA on the different hairs.

I finished dressing just in time, adjusting my chess piece shawl. A playa's gonna play.

I saw A.J. at the entrance to the chapel. His gaze fell over my sword garter before blessing me with his own secret society of a smile he had honed.

I gave my shoulders a shrug and smiled back. "I'm that dark and stormy knight your mother warned you about."

He apparently wasn't a mama's boy, as he enthusiastically offered me his arm.

Mila St. Germain
Age: 20
FC: Ina Čano
Personality Traits: Confident, borderline cocky at first sight; she is quite introverted until with her friends. Communicative when she needs to be; makes friends fairly easy. Cares about the opinions of other people; cares about other people too. Jealous, which she will deny with fire of seven hells. Tends to venture in the dramatic. Likes to avoid conflict to the point of ignoring people. Passionate. Easily annoyed. Awkward flirt when she likes someone.
Why I decided to transfer to Hawthorne Academy? When I was a child, I was adopted into a good family, family coming from an old magic line and even if it was quite lovely to be one of the elites most days, the expectations came crashing down on me a little bit too harsh. My parents are older than most parents, they adopted me late in their lives, yet it did not show. Having raised two more children before me, they had experience and patience to deal with this imposter syndrome, so finally, I managed to get over this anxiety about going in my brothers' footsteps.
Family
St. Germains are one of the oldest, richest European families and despite many traditions, this Russian-Serbian family draws from their legacy, patriarchy is not one of those. Nikolai St. Germain met his wife Jelena and fell head over heels instantly: her confidence, her assertiveness and her ability to take the control over just about everything really won him over. Jelena was at the same time impressed with the fact her independence was not taken as something bad, but a welcome blessing for the family. Nico and Jelena married only two years after they met, and shortly after had their twins, Alexei & Vuk. Despite their best efforts, more children never showed up and the couple. Jelena's 50th birthday was a turning point for both - the grandchildren were about to arrive, but they decided there were more children to be present in their lives as well. This was my cue to enter: unwanted child might some a little bit harsh to someone, but I like to be aware of my standings and 20 years ago I was abandoned in an orphanage in Belgrade, without anything to my name. They found me and my mother always says she sensed the magic growing inside me since that early age. I could not disagree more: I felt plain for most of my life, both in magic and personality and I decided I would let my appearance talk instead. I am always aware of my image, not in some bad way, but in a way that makes me happy - life is like a stage, they say, so why not dress up for the spotlight each one of those days? Suddenly, those powers my mother sensed came crashing in and to be perfectly honest, those were the absolute best. At first, I could tweak bits of my body to suit the needs of what I wanted to do - a couple inches taller for the times I was not into wearing heels or growing my hair long when I wanted to rock a sleek pony. Nails, lashes. Scars I got as a kid would vanish at my command. Little by little, I would work on changing bits of how I looked into how I wanted to appear on that day, and before I was aware of my doings, I managed to change a little bit more, resemble myself a little bit less - and I enjoyed every moment of the transformation.s
Interests Connor, Jasper, Roosevelt.

Outfits: February - March - April

Story
March always reminds me of that quote. Can't remember what it is, but I'm sure most remember the very tactile description of what March feels like with the shades growing cold and the sun warming you up just to the right point. It felt like that here, at the Hawthorne. I arrived with my brother, Alexei, who managed to say hi to most staff by the time we reached the front door: it was a common thing in the male members of my family: they seem to know everyone who ever lived at one point or another.

"You could finally hand me that secret," I smiled playfully.
"Which one?"
"About the ever-social St.Germain gene," he rolled his eyes at me, throwing a hand over my shoulder.
"You're too young to harness the power," says the joker and I laughed, of course.
"And I am missing the crucial gene if we're being honest."

It slipped - kinda - but at this point, his face was no longer displaying amusement: what my family always made sure to know is that I belonged, genetics or not.

"No," I tried, turning around as he stood in his place. -"I was joking, promise,"
"You know it's hurtful to joke like that," his tone of voice resembles our father's more and more each day, I swear. Even the heavy swallow, the tiny chest sigh he lets out - and it was never my intention to hurt him, ever.
"Dude, come on," I tried a playful smile, stepping into his path. -"I didn't mean to, promise, I was just joking."
"Don't," he replies quite gently. -"Be caref--"

The sentence was not even finished when I bumped into someone, trying to twirl playfully back into the path I was heading.

"Shit, sorry!" I said, stepping onto the persons' foot.
"Roosevelt St.James?" Alexei asked instantly, as I moved to the side with my apologetic expression.
"Mr. St. Germain," the guy replied with some kind of a polite smile only privileged kids saved in their repertoire, made perfectly for times like these: where you are not sure where do you know the person from, but your upbringing is doing like Spiderman sense, tingling with the sense of you having to be on your best behaviour because this person is most likely a long-forgotten relative, friend of your fathers or perhaps someone who can benefit your cause at some point in life.

"I have not expected to see you here," Alexei's tone lowers, the whole sense of secrecy which I have not expected to encounter here.
"Stranger things have happened," the guy replied to him after quickly scanning me up and down.
"In this case, I would like to introduce you to my sister," Alexei places his hand on my back, as he used to whenever he would introduce me when I was younger, quickly reminding me to stand up straight. -"Mila, this is Roosevelt,"
"Nice to meet you," I smiled, extending my hand for a short and quick handshake, pushing my hair back a little. -"New guy?"
"New girl?" he handed me a playful smile. -"This should be fun, you know?"
"What should?"
"Transfer students arriving in the middle of the year," he grinned. -"Mystery is always fun to have around."

---

You can imagine how hazy my days have been after my arrival. This place has a vibe of an old Parisian apartment meeting a haunted English castle, the history soaked up the walls, the windows and doors - there are so many things you could do around this place.

And then you discover the library.

Like, it was a full-blown discovery, the space I really wanted and had absolutely no clue I needed in my life. Smell of old, leather-bound books and the touch of worn-out shine on the old oak desks and the huge chairs you could easily sink into and never want to get out.

For the first time in a long time, I actually wanted to study, actively.

So, I did make that conscious choice which included getting up before a proper time on a Saturday morning, grabbing a coffee for the way and actually being productive.

In perfect honesty, there was not that much to do besides extra-curriculum stuff here. So, studying it was - and shockingly, the place was not empty nor ghost-infested, which was my first guess when I heard a commotion on the other side of the aisle. I reach for a book to see this like-minded person. Well, I reach for a book and add myself an additional five centimetres or so - the bookshelves were quite high here.

I have to say, it's only has been a month of me existing there, dedicating time out of day to my abilities and it felt easier to do whatever I wanted, within my own limits. The strain has been lifted, in a way, the moment of focus have been cut shorter and my limits - at least from my point of view - have been moved a little. Whatever I decided to do was under my control, even if I was scared to push for more - there were times, moments in the morning, while I stood in front of the mirror, drawing on my eyeliner and thinking if I could change my features a little. Just a tiny bit, just for a while.

He seems to be unaware of my existence - which is not a likely scenario - and then, he looked up, I gave it a little try for a smile and he just reached for another book, leaving me there, standing. In hindsight, this should be a good story of how I met Connor, but also how I actually didn't.

Making my way to the other side of the aisle, I found myself face to face with this early bird, and boy was he cute. I smile - mostly to myself - and tried to find out his name.

"Getting an early start?"

The silence was awkward. More awkward than I care to admit if we're honest, which we are not doing.

"Okay," I nodded to myself, flags down and getting to the other table.
"Connor is legitimately not present in the room when he's in the library," a voice startled me a little bit.

If someone told me I'll meet Jasper Maddox in an old library of the Hawthorne, I would have laughed. I blinked a couple of times instead. Then smiled.

"I was beginning to wonder if I turned invisible," I smiled.
"Might as well," he concluded. -"You're new,"
"You're famous," I replied, to which he chuckled - probably because he seemed polite. -"Sorry, this probably sounded horrible,"
"I've had worse," Jasper concluded. -"Jasper,"
"Mila, nice to meet you,"
"Same,"
"You're one of the new transfers?" he says, silently, and I nudged towards a corner little bit further from Connor just to get us out of his hair, if he even managed to notice we were present. Doubt it, but I'm not willing to risk it.

"Shiny and new arrival, yes,"
"Middle of the year arrival,"
"What can I say," my shoulders go up and down quickly and unintentionally. -"I caved in,"
"Legacy?"

So, I could have explained my rags-to-riches orphanage story, but I wasn't willing to turn Annie just yet.

"My brothers paved a pretty little brick lane for me here, yeah,"
"Must be fun,"
"Oh, totally," I chuckled, setting the books down finally. -"You know how it is, two gorgeous twin overachievers who never did the awkward puberty bit and managed to be social highlights and talented students," I nodded.
"So, no pressure?"
"Exactly," I gave it a little laugh. -"Fun times,"

There's a short 'shhhh' coming from someplace in the back, so we decide to study and have a break in an hour or so, maybe chat some more.

Whoever told you not to meet celebrities because you might be disappointed has clearly never met Jasper Maddox.

// DONE (sorry for the delay, shortness and all)
