Hey guys! This is Becca, with what I swear will be my last character...
Her name is Suzanne, but she'd rather you called her Zanna, and she is 21 (22 in December), an ex-Slytherin, and a journalist, but not for the Daily Prophet.
Zanna is cynical, mean on occasion, and totally unafraid of what people think of her. She's not an all round bitch though, and so long as you're not too easily offended by jokes that get a little close to the bone at times, you should have a great time with her, especially if you like hard spirits and underground clubs.
I'll be adding her to my plot ad shortly, so please go there for actual plotting, but I'd like to stretch her legs a bit, so she's up for a few random threads...

Haha, I love you, Becca! xD
Okay, so... I can offer you Honor and Tommy if that helps? Honor's an ex-Slytherin, slight younger than Zanna, and Tommy's a Gryffindor and is a year or two older than Zanna. He'd hit on her like all hell, ngl! =]

Ooh, I wouldn't mind rping with either of them, as I don't think I ever have! So take your pick, lol. Zanna's out to make a splash, so people might have heard of her a bit - she recently set up a controversial, satirical newspaper in which she basically poked fun at a whole load of public figures, and she wouldn't hesitate to rip the piss out of celebrities as much as politicians, so Tommy should watch his back, especially as, to quote my app,  |

Oooh, if she pokes fun at public figures, she'll be poking fun at Leon, right? Gosh, I'd have no idea how he'd respond to that! xP That'll be something I might wanna try xP

Haha, well she's only published one edition of her paper so far, and it is supposed to be a newspaper, so I don't know how much she's gone for celebrities yet... She'd do it if they did something vaguely newsworthy though, or if she'd run out of things to write, or if they'd pissed her off. She wouldn't be mean to Leon for the sake of it though... Basically, her motto is 'print the things nobody else dares to mention'. As far as politics go, her own don't matter, she'll rip the piss out of every side, but she'll also print the underdog's story, the one nobody else cares about. I've kind of based her newspaper a bit off a British publication called Private Eye, so if you google that, you should see what I'm talking about, haha. |

Haha, you pick since it's your character. xD Ohh, cool! Well, haha, Tommy wouldn't really mind that much. He'd just see it as publicity, doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Haha, he definitely wouldn't mind handcuffs or a whip, I'm sure. |

Ockle dockle lovely, well, if she gets to Tommy, she might get some stuff on Leon xP And I dont think his fans really know / get / are purposefully in denial he's bisexual, so if someone prints about him liking guys more than girls, thaf might change his dynamic xP
Also, how old is Tobias? xP

Argh, I can't make decisions! I don't know enough about either of them... seriously love, whichever one you need/want the thread for most...
Lolol, well she might have them, she might not, but they're not under her bed (that story amuses her) because she sleeps on a mattress on the floor...
Hm, well she's trying not to go down the route of just printing celeb gossip, lol, though she might have one little column on it or something... (I think I might have to make a board for this paper, haha)
And Toby is 24 - I just posted a character request for a bunch of people haha.

I suck at decisions, haha... but maybe Tommy? Idk though. Do you think Zanna would get along with him or not? He's your typical, never-wants-to-grow-up ex-Gryffindor kinda guy who comes off as a git if that helps? |

Aha, well I think she would have disliked him if she'd come across him when she was fourteen, but she's loosened up a lot now. She'll probably be a bitch to him, but so long as he doesn't take it personally, they'll probably get along, haha. So yeah, Tommy is fine with me! |

Hi Becca!  I really don't have much to offer for Zanna- my apologies! :S I would offer up Hugo, but I'd feel way too bad about him possibly having a gossip column or something about him. Lee could offer to write something for a few extra sickles or something, or she could interview Mickey or something? /random ideas, feel free to say no because idk what even goes on in my mind |

Ahaha, okay guys, I think I have to clear this up as much as I can. Zanna is not writing a gossip magazine or a celebrity news publication. It's a satirical newspaper which publishes current affairs and uses humour to make very serious political points. She may have one column which deals with amusing celebrity gossip, but that'll be it, unless a celebrity does something actually newsworthy. She's more interested in the mess ups made by the Ministry, and you can be sure that their failure to catch Rabastan Lestrange will be used as a recurring joke.  The closest comparison (and what I kind of based it on) is Private Eye, which is described like this: Also, I don't think Zanna is quite cruel enough to use a fifteen-year-old boy to get information on his famous relatives, Tatoe. If Levi wanted to send in any articles, she'd publish them if she thought they were good enough, but he'd have to be prepared to ruthlessly poke fun at people. If we can think of a reason Zanna might want to publish something on St Mungos, we could do a thread with Mickey... Things she might be interested in would be: Scandals among high up figures(ooh, just occurred to me what a party she'd have if she ever found out about Mark Dashwood...) Possible bad practice at St Mungo's Corruption Or, if you were looking for something Mickey might actually want to talk to her about (ie, that wouldn't cast St Mungo's in a bad light), maybe something about the Ministry not giving enough funding to them or something? |

Lee might actually do that once he gets older- I have plans for him maturing this year, I'm evil Maybe next summer if he's still around he could possibly work for her or something? She could be trying to...gah, I dunno xD she could try to poke fun at the Ministry's spending habits and how they're not providing St. Mungo's with enough funds or something? He wouldn't talk to her if she was going to put St. Mungo's under the bus, aha. |

Lidia would probably know her, as she's going undercover as a journalist and Lidia knows everyone, basically. Lidia would think her quite hot but seeing as Lids is such a major bitch herself at times I can imagine them clashing if they met. That being said, Lidia probably reads her newspaper - she'd find it funny and she'd be impressed that Zanna's writing controversial stuff.
David may know her - he's two years younger than her, but he likes hard spirits and underground clubs! He's a lot smarter than he seems and if she ever was looking for anything on St. Mungo's he wouldn't breathe a word because he thinks he's lucky to be there but he'd think her quite funny and not be insulted at all by anything she says - he's gotten very thick skin, what with people having sex in his room. They know who they are.
Seb would do her. He'd totally hit on her if he ever saw her and he wouldn't be scared/insulted by her at all - insults and jokes have a tendency to just bounce off of him, I'm afraid!
Callan would humour her gently and be somewhat impressed by her but if she said something he disagreed with he wouldn't hesitate to get stuck in an argument with her, although for the most he's trained himself to be polite.

(This is kind of plotting, Ella love, so I'm just going to reply really briefly, as this is meant to be a thread request, lolol)
Lidia: Zanna would probably scorn her for selling out to the establishment ngl, as she presumably wouldn't know that Lidia wasn't really a journalist.... and I'm really not sure if she's into girls or not, haha...
David: Lolwhut, who would do such a thing?
But anyway, I can imagine them as weird kind of party friends haha, if David ever felt like coming to Bristol (jsyk, I told Ellie the area of Bristol Zanna lives in and she said 'lol wow, she's brave')?
Seb: This is what Zanna likes tbh - she rarely means anything in a nasty way, it's just how she interacts with people, and she would probably pat him on the head and tell him to run home to Mummy, but she would also be quite amused by him...
Callan: Zanna would argue right back, but she'd respect him for having opinions, even if she didn't respect what those opinions were. Tbqh she'd probably argue with him even if she agreed with him, because she likes arguing for the sake of arguing. And then at the end she'd shrug and be like 'yeah, I agreed with you all along, I just thought I'd make you sweat,' and walk off laughing.
And just to keep this on topic, do you have any of these you'd like to thread with her? lol. Tbh, once she'd finished patronising him, Zanna probably would do Seb. It would amuse her to think she was corrupting him (she'd check he was seventeen first though...).
