Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liv had been practically inseparable from her best friend after they both had arrived at the platform. She wished she hadn't had to go back home after a couple weeks spent at Roxie's but at the insistence that Elizabeth missed her and wanted her to come home, Liv had relented on the condition that her grounding was lifted. After a couple weeks away, her mother had agreed. But Olivia was just happy to be with her best friend again and had dragged her to the table to sit beside her. Shifting on the bench, she smirked at Roxie and said, "Alright, wanna place a bet on which firsties we get? I'm betting we get her.... and him..." She stealthily pointed at a few of the new students, hoping they got some decent kids in the house. After all, they'd need some good Quidditch players since she was decidedly not trying out for the team this year. After stinking for the last two years, she realized that playing the sport was not for her. Cheering for her team, perfect. But playing... nope. Besides, it gave her more time to focus on their music. They just needed to find a drummer, at the very least...

Mowenna was sitting on the stool with the Sorting Hat on her head when she heard it speak inside her mind, reciting it's poem to her before calling out Gryffindor! That was one of the two towers, she could definitely roll with that. That was a nice view and she could let Isolde out from the window as well. Wenn slipped off the stool and watched as her tie changed to red and gold. "That's proper job," she said with a smirk, then skipped excitedly over to the Gryffindor table. She found herself a seat at the table and looked around, smiling and waving at some of the students at the table.

{OoC: Open for interaction}

After she had sat down, Morwenna had been glancing around the table at everyone else, when the boy that she had sat down beside her greeted her. He introduced himself as Adelai, or Adi, and said that he was a second year. "Tes proper job to meet 'ee. My name be Morwenna, but me mates do call me Wenn." She nodded, smirking at him. Her West Country accent was pretty thick but she wasn't very aware of it since she really only ever interacted with people from around her. The only other person she'd conversed with had been Mika on the boat. Her new friend started to ask when she was looking forward to most, then asked in a different way if she knew about the magical world. Wenn chuckled and answered the second question first. "Well, I be a proper mystical family, if that's what ee mean." She then considered an answer to his first question before settling on an easy answer. "What be I most looking forward to? I reckon I want to snuggle all them mystical critters. I be proper fond of any critter. You got any animals to call your own?" Her bright bluish-green eyes sparkled and she chimed in about her own animals. "I've got a wee bird called Isolde and us 'ave a whole herd o' goats down in Cornwall."

Adelai mentioned that he had a dog but it was a service dog and that she was upstairs, which made Wenn very curious about what kind of service the dog provided. They had several sheep dogs on their farm that protected the goats and helped with herding them around, but they usually slept in the huts with the goats and were usually working. Before she could ask what kind of service the dog provided though, Adi mentioned there was a creature appreciation club. "Creature appreciation club do sound right proper. Do 'ee actually get to handle animals down the club? I'm pretty good at feeding and tending to all sorts of critters." She smiled widely and added, "I do truly just love all critters." She actually loved animals so much that she refused to eat meat. Then again, it was something her whole family didn't eat either, but the idea of eating an animal made Wenn get sad. When she first learned what chicken nuggets were, she cried for several hours, then went to her neighbor's and hugged their chickens for another hour or so. She was nine when that happened.

It seemed like she'd made a good choice on where to sit because Adelai seemed pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things she was interested in. At least, the club she was probably most interested in checking out. Even if they didn't get to handle, like dragons or chimera, at least getting to spend some time with animals was pretty cool to Wenn. He also mentioned that one of their Professors was a magical creature and the girl glanced in her direction. "Oh, 'er? I know 'er. At least, I seed 'er in one o' my visions. Us be goin' to be proper mates." Wenn had already had a few predictions about the Herbology professor, though none of them were ground shaking ones. Just a vision of helping here, or friendliness there. Most of Morwenna's visions were just like that and they came very frequently. It was something that happened to her grandmother a lot and Wenn had gotten good at knowing which ones were dreams and which ones were visions. Adelai continued on about the other clubs, mentioning some things she'd never heard of before, but the girl wasn't phased by that. She didn't know a lot of Muggle stuff since her village was mostly magical folk and squibs... and lots of goats. He asked if she was planning on trying out for Quidditch. ""I bain't no big sports fan myself. I'm also not very athletic... more of a watcher. I ain't much of a fan of Quidditch, to tell 'ee the truth. I find it right boring, I do." Blue-green eyes shifted over to Adelai again and she finally noticed that his eyes were two different colors. Without missing a beat, she blurted out, "Oi, d'ye knaw yer eyes be two diff'rint colors?"

In her village, it was common knowledge that the Penrose family had Seers in it and people routinely came from all over the West country to visit with them about their futures. But outside of the local area, it seemed, that knowledge wasn't common, based on Adi's reaction. Though it wasn't a shocked or hateful reaction, his comment was enough for her to know that her family's reputation wasn't well known. "Yeah, my gran be a Seer and her gran were a Seer an' hers. My ole mum reckon my grandchild gonna be a Seer too." It seemed to be a familial tradition that the Seer trait skipped a generation when it passed down, since it had been doing that since the early Middle Ages, and probably further than that. Adelai commented that his eye color was called heterochromia and that it was a sign of a powerful wizard in his family. She'd never heard of heterochromia before, but if he said that was a sign, she believed him. "Tha's proper smart, ain't it. I reckon whether heteromia 'as that effect on other wizardin' families too. My gran reckons our Seer power makes us a special lot. 'Tis been like that since ol' Merlin's time." She didn't even notice that she called heterochromia something different than he had, but she was already forgetting what the condition was actually called. Her mind was already wandering over to what defined a special family trait and what made a family powerful.
