2014: Meet Magical Soul

[Magical Soul]

Hi everyone! I'm Laila and I'm one of the School Staff in the Hogwarts RPG, and I run Knockturn Alley RPG (with my lovely friend). I've been an active member on SS for four years and I've been a staff for a year and a half now, and I still enjoy every minute of SS and it's my escape from RL's stress. You'll find me playing in every section of the SS RPG forums with different characters so if you need an RP partner you know who to go to.

Outside the online world, I'm from the Middle East, I have three younger sisters, one is here with us on SS (yes, I dragged her over). I have a degree in nutrition but I work in a printing & packaging company. I love books, movies, writing, and to spend time in our beach house. I hate summer heat, wearing makeup, and wailing children.

I think that's enough for an introduction, Merlin knows if I start talking, it's hard to shut me up Let's hear from you guuuuys! Come at me with them questions, I'll be happy to answer!

Hiiiii! Gimme them!

1. Ooooh, I'd go on for forever talking about that, but I'll try to be concise. xD My first RP character ever is Louisa Carter (in my siggie), she's the first and only student I've played on SS, I played her since her first year until she graduated and I still play her now in her adulthood. She's a typical Ravenclaw; sarcastic, sassy, bossy, witty and ambitious.

I play Ludovicus Bones, my current ministry character. He's a prosecutor in his early fourties. He's ambitious, confident, he knows what he wants and how to get it, he's also fun when he's around family and friends.

I play Everard Peverell, my Knockturn Alley baddie. He's my favorite to play after Louisa because he's just so chaotic and random and twisted and he doesn't know what he wants exactly he just loves chaos! XD

I play Jessa Shusterman, my DA charrie. She's a goofy, whimsical actress. She's so liberated, wants to live her life to its full potential, doesn't want to miss anything or put limits on herself.

I play Abraham Botros, the professor in Hogwarts. He's the school's teddy bear, if I dare say xD A very kind-hearted, loving, caring old man. His wide life experience allows him to keep his temper and emotions at bay. He's very soothing to play when one of my other characters are having a fit of their own xD (I'm thinking of starting to play one of his grandkids soon, too!)

I play Cliodna Belrose, she's the shiest and quietest of my charrie. A Beauxbatons 17 years old ballerina, she's going into WADA and she's your average Barbie doll; so girly, sensitive and soft.

I played Marci Haneul Lee, she's one of Botros' old grandkids, I played her in DA and she was a fashionsta who simply could not stop talking. She babbles a lot, she gets excited easily and she's spoiled. I don't play her anymore since I moved from working in Madame Malkins to managing the Knockturn Alley. :3

Let me seeeeeee, who else who else... I think that's it for now. WHEW, sorry this was long. XD If any of those charries interest you, I'd be happy to play with you at one point, just poke me. :3

2. Well, I was in DA for about 2 years before I was moved to KA so I know how things work when you don't play a baddie xD I do enjoy KA more, though, to be honest with you, because it's never quiet there and playing an unstable villain is oddly exciting. XD

3. My favorite book is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Husseini. </3

Thank you for posting! Do come back later! :3

What do you mean, like in Knockturn Alley forum where independent RPGs are made? :3 If yes, then I've never played there, but I've always wanted to!

1) I AM! Duhhh!!
2) Now I would be, before I didn't even try to understand the thing.
3) UMMMM that's a hard one! XD I'm known to change my dedication to TV shows with time, but right now I think I'm loving Breaking Bad.
4) I can! I love to make Lasagne.
5) noooooope I am thanks to you guys

YAY! I'll be waiting eagerly.

1) HECK YEAH YOU CAN! You set the date and place and I'll be there.
2) Louisa will always be my favorite, probably because she's my first but closely after Louisa comes Peverell.
3) I love anything based off a true story. And Drama/Family comes closely after that.

I do emphasize on the first one as well.

2) Nawwww sure, if you like my humble work.
3) Yes, I like to travel and see new things/places even if I don't have the opportunity to do that. I'd like to go to England and then the US. Probz the US more because I have family there.

DANI HELLO HI HELLO!

Lemme see this list you got there!

1. Oh. Well, glad to know I'm not pressured or anything. I see him in his manor in Egypt with his grown up grandkids around him.
2. I always wanted to be in Ravenclaw! Idk why, but I loved that house, so much sarcasm and sass xD
3. Your opinion is slightly biased, my friend. But yes, it was inspired to me from the Joker in Batman and Moriarty in Sherlock! He's the favorite kind of villain to me; funny & chaotic.
4. Not always, but yeah when I didn't have an obliging job. That's not the case anymore and it makes me saaaad 'cause most of my SS friends are not from my timezone *points atchu*
5. I FEEL OFFENDED YOU HAD TO ASK! *squishes your face*

3. (Roudy, the fastest seeker is my sister :3)
4. Bread.
5. Meat/chicken.

Waiting for MORE questions from you, deary!

[emjay]

Hey there, Laila!

So, questions..

1. What did you draw on for inspiration when creating Botros? He is so well-loved in the school and I think it's great to see someone older when there is a lot of emphasis on playing young and beautiful characters Not that Michael Caine isn't attractive in a very distinguished sort of way..

2. What languages do you speak?

3. Are YOU a Ravenclaw?

4. Not a question, I guess.. but.. I want to do WADA stuff with you.. I'm not sure what, but I want to.. lol

Haaaaaiii Emjay!!

Hokay, so, answers!

1. Oh good question! And thank you, I'm really glad he's generally very well accepted. :3
When I first joined the staff, that was what I was thinking; There is no old professors in there, which's odd considering that wizards live considerably longer than muggles (I read that somewhere), and we didn't have 'normal' adult personalities in the staff. I mean, I LOVE quirky characters, I love characters with attitude, they're so fun to play with but also I thought a school staff NEEDS an older, average, caring professor and this is how Botros was born. XD
I also borrow from Mr. Feeny's character (only a little because Feeny is sassy sometimes xD), and from my grandfather who was a magnificent maths teacher. :33
Hope that answers your question!

2. Arabic is my mother language, then English, and I know some French.

3. I HOPE SO! Hahaha but no, I'm a Slytherin. It was proven to me by Pottermore, and when I really think about it, I know it makes more sense than Ravenclaw. Let's say I'm 70% Slytherin and 30% Ravenclaw

4. OH HEY LET'S! I'm dying to braintsorm some WADA details! I'll grab you on Skype some time, it's a date!

[Cedric]

LAILAAAAAAAR! I AM YOUR FAVORITE GRYFFINDOR, PSSHT. *hogs this title*

Here are your questions, for now:

1. If there's one talent that you wish you had and were REALLY good at, what would it be?
2. If you were to date any SS charrie (and they would be around your age), who would it be?
3. What do you think your patronus would be?
4. Which Harry Potter character are you most like?

[Magical Soul]

IZZYYYYY! No, you're NOT my favorite Gryffindor pfffffffft. you're my favorite SS!friend

Let's see what your crazy mind comes up with:

1. Writing. ;__; I want to be a good writer- no, a GREAT writer. ;__; And in both languages I speak, please. k? thanx :3
2. *'s at the age notice 'cause you know* DUNCAN FLETCHER! Ro's Fletcher, I'd date him, I'd do anything to be his and he mine, I think I'm already in love. someone should keep Ro out of here so she doesn't see how creepy I am :3
3. That's a very good question because I'm not fond of creatures. Hmmm. I think something mythical. NOT a dragon, though, they're overused. Maybe a Phoenix! :3
4. Neville Longbottom.

[Nordic Witch]

*camps in here* Seems like a nice place..

Lailaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

1. Favourite soda?
2. Want to RP with me in DA?
3. Are you a skirt or pants person?
4. With having so many characters floating around in your head how do you manage to keep them separate?
5. Favourite vegetable?

Evaaaaaaa! My new 'claw buddy! stay here with me <3

1. Brand? Umm probaby Canada Dry. xD
2. YES!
3. I have loads of skirts and only a few pants, so I'd say I'm a skirt/dress person. XD
4. I try to keep them separated from my personality as much as possible so I could control them without letting bits and pieces of me in them; Otherwise they would all seem the same. :3
5. Hmmmmmm... probably cucumber. And lettuce.

Hiiii, welcome to SS!

Ooooh, I have to admit I haven't read the HP books since 2009 But I THINK I read the last book the most. You reminded me I wanted to re-read them soon! :3

[Episky]

Hey Laila!

I'm so curious about how one gains these titles. General interest in a certain forum? Activity in a forum? Specific involvement?

[Bethy24601]

Hi Laila I just joined maybe you could help me like show me where the best rps are by replying to this post if that's like ok?

and welcome to SS!

The titles that I have are mainly related to the school RPG, so you should check this bit in the FAQ here and familiarize yourself with the choosing process.

Hiiii, welcome to SnitchSeeker!

The best rps happen in the Wizarding World forum, of course! You can explore the Hogwarts RPG but the school's now closed because the End-of-term feast is open and summer is about to begin for students, it will re-open when the sorting's over, though, so make sure you check out the main page for those important dates. Meanwhile, you can check the Diagon Alley forum and the Ministry forum, they're equally exciting places to play your character or stalk other people's RPs there.

Maybe if you check the School RPG's rules and FAQ, the Ministry's and the Diagon Alley's, it'll help you get more involved.

If you still have any other questions about the site, you can post it here.

[PurpleHeart]

Hi Magical Soul! I'm PurpleHeart! I read that you have been a member here for 4 years. I was wondering how do you keep it interesting, without for instance recycling old plots and characters? Also Who is your most favorite character that you have played and why? Also, Who is your favorite Hogwarts Professor of all time?
