Eugene, Arsonus, and Cherry
Meet the new second years that @amus2110, myself, and @lyra-prag made to torment our fifth years.
Eugene “Frog Boy” Cattermole
Dear Eugene is a Gryffindor second-year with paint perpetually smeared across his cheeks and robes. He’s a silly lad better known around Hogwarts as “Frog Boy.” Whether he’s searching the shore of the Black Lake for tadpoles or trying to convince members of the Frog Choir that the toad he found has excellent singing potential. He sees magic as an excellent medium and has taken to using it to aid in his painting endeavors. Potion classes are less about brewing assignments and more about discovering vibrant new pigments, much to Professor Sharp’s displeasure. He eagerly gathers whatever magical plants he can from Herbology to experiment with the natural magical colors, leaving rainbow handprints in the aftermath of his experiments. His vitiligo creates striking patches across his skin, something he has always embraced as just another canvas. The white patches it leaves in his hair are frequently colored with whichever pigment he has cooked up.
Arsonus Ardis
Arsonus wants to be like his idol, his cousin Tobi, who he sees as a faring, roguish type, despite Tobi’s relaxed demeanor. He is also able to manifest a unique form of magic, similar to ancient magic, known as wild magic. Wild magic for Arsonus comes as spontaneous explosions and fires erupting upon his opponents. He auditions for Quidditch in year two and is told he isn't ready to play with others. He tends to bend or break rules, known as a dare devil, which often ends with him in the Hospital Wing, rued by Nurse Blaine; and is also banned from the library formaccidentally starting a small fire in the Hexes aisle. His wand struggles to produce any real magic, effecting his grades seriously, unless his life is in danger. He is usually quite argumentative with his wand, slapping it against his thigh or on the table, only for it to belch out sparks or spit molten magic onto him.
Charity “Cherry” Abbott
Cherry Abbott is a second-year Gryffindor student and younger sister of the Hufflepuff Quidditch star Henri Abbott. The nickname originated when she stole her father's wand at the age of four and managed to turn her hair cherry red with it. Her talent for transfigurations only grew as she got older, as did her love for coloring her hair. She tries new colors regularly, her favourite by far being green. Cherry has been interested in Alchemy since forever, always experimenting and collecting all kinds of materials for it. She also has a big collection of fossils and other rocks she thinks look interesting. And as a true Gryffindor, she's always up for adventures with her friends.
