Hello, I am Amity Brockert of the Colorado Brockerts. Though I live in Seattle with my parents and sister Chaslyn who is seven. I have several cousins at Sonora, three of them my first cousins (Ryan, Arabella and Carrie) but only two I really care to claim. Seth and Lilac Brockert are my uncle and aunt.
I will be in Aladren and I look forward to finally getting some free time meeting everyone.

11Amity BrockertWelcome to PYoD!!233Amity Brockert15
Hello Amity! My name is Abigail Thornton and my older sister Andri is in Aladren House. She loves it! Myself, I'm in Crotalus, I'm the first in that house, so I'm not sure what to expect really. I am the sixth of sixteen children in my family both to attend Sonora and in general. I love animals and I am really looking forward to Care of Magical Creatures Class. My sisters all talk to me about that one, they know how much I love animals... I'm not so talkative, but I hope to get more talkative...
Either way, I look forward to a lot of growth and change!

Hello Amity, Abigail. curtsies gently I am McKinley Andrews of the Arizona and English Andrews'. It is a pleasure to meet you. My cousin Carter and I will be joining you in Teppenpaw (him) and Crotalus Houses. glances towards Amity who seemed much more proper than Abigail It is certainly my pleasure to make your acquaintance. turns to Abigail I do hope there will be no animals in our room. Dirt and I do not mesh. I am a proper young lady, after all. head still held high, she looks from Amity to Abigail and back to Amity again.

I am Effie Arbon and will be joining Crotalus house where I am pleased to see that I might have some suitable company. Father was very apprehensive about sending me to this school but it seems like it might be moving in the right direction.

Hi everyone! I'm Wendy Canterbury and apparently the only muggle-born in this group. My older sister is Waverly. I'm also really excited for the magical creatures class. Imagine a whole class devoted to taking care of animals! I'm from Phoenix, Arizona and I am so excited to learn magic and meet magical people! Oh, and I'll be in Pecari.

*Trying to hear what all the whispering is about* Hello, everyone! I'm Isabel Raines, of the Illinois Raines family, and I'll be with, um, most of you in Crotalus soon. My father, Mr. Charles Raines, and my sister, Mrs. Theodore Gardiner, were both Crotali, too, so I've heard we have amazing things to look forward to!
I really hope we don't have a war and that none of us go crazy or get disowned or both.

Hello, I am Bianca Stratford from the Vermont Stratfords. My older brother, Victor, will be marrying Shelby Sinclair later this year and my other brother, Preston, is dating Sara Raines.
I will be an Aladren like Preston and I am somewhat curious about everyone but at the same time I am afraid.
Umm...Hey everyone...I'm Carter Browning of the English/Irish Brownings (I guess). My family and I live near Flagstaff here in Arizona...I guess I'll be joining the Teppenpaw House (whatever that means). I guess that could be cool. Btw...Abigail was it? Do me a favor and bring as many animals near my cousin McKinley as you'd like...she really needs to learn to loosen up. LOL
*Two identical girls give identical curtsies in perfect synchronization to the group at large* "We are Annabelle," starts one. The other continues the sentence, "and Annette Pierce," then the introduction is concluded by both sisters in unison, "of the New Hampshire Pierces."
"We will be joining Pecari House."

*Blinks at the unison, thinking that may be a little worse than Arnold and Arthur using twinspeak, at least when they don't use it on purpose to keep him out of the loop, and bows*
I am Anthony Carey VIII, of the South Carolina Careys, and I will be in Aladren. *Glances around at all the people again, some a little uncertainly* I'm sure it's going to be a pleasure to meet you all. *Mutters* Or something like that.
0Anthony Carey VIIII'm...the end of my numeral line?234Anthony Carey VIII05
*Comes out just to make the ratio of guys to girls slightly less uneven*
I am Henry Carey, of the South Carolina Careys - Anthony and the twins's cousin, James and Theresa's brother. I am somehow not surprised that I will be the first male in my family to attend this school and not be Sorted into Aladren in about fifty years. I will, instead, be in Crotalus House.
I'm Neeka Campbell. I'm a halfblood, and I'll be in Pecari with the creepy twins and Wendy. Hopefully we'll all get along, huh? Also, Amity, I definitely know your aunt (unless there are more Lilacs running around than I thought).
12Neeka CampbellI'm the <em>only</em> child244Neeka Campbell05
Amity-*backs away from the Anns slowly and mutters to Anthony* I have identical twin cousins but they aren't like that . *turns and smiles politely at the other purebloods*
Pleasure to meet you Miss Pierces, Mr. Careys and Mr. Browning. Mr. Careys, may I please call by your first names both as a way to differentiate you and because I have a cousin named Carrie who is a terrible person and I would rather not be reminded of her when I speak to you?
*mutters something about how she will never tell the Anns apart and refuses to try*
Arabella *jumps in*-This is the point where I must warn the Crotali. Yes, Carrie is a second year in Crotalus, avoid her at all costs.
Author-You're going to keep doing that every year aren't you?
Arabella-Until I graduate. Or maybe until her last year as my parting advice to the first years.
Kirstenna-Oh, and the Crotali also need to be warned about their HoH! She's an evil Imposter kleptomaniac with a gambling problem who manipulates Quidditch games. She also kidnapped my friend Brian, cursed the old Headmistress as well as one of the Crotali in my year with illnesses and boiled the Teppenpaw captain before me alive like a lobster. And she killed both the real Amelia Pierce and the real Jannette Wolfe and stole their identities. The latter was stashed under the floor boards in the same hotel room as Brian. Oh, and she likes to hex students. *turns to Neeka* You know the Beetle Lady ?
Amity-*turns to Neeka and politely says* Nice to meet you too. How do you know my aunt.
Arabella-Also, Miss Thornton, when you set those animals loose in your own room to bother Miss Andrews, be sure to let loose a few in the second year girls' dorm as well.
11Amity, Arabella,Kirstenna and AuthorAnd I'm sure Abigail is jealous233Amity, Arabella,Kirstenna and Author05
Pleasure to meet you all. *smiles politely, even at Wendy and Abigail so as not to be rude*
There's no reason to be afraid Miss Stratford. If you ignore Kirstenna and Arabella. The former is clearly insane anyway. Granted my cousin is totally correct.
And Miss Arbon, you don't have to talk to anyone you don't want to, unless a teacher like forces you or they confront you directly, but in the latter case, I'm sure you've learned the polite way to gracefully leave a conversation.
Oh, and because I forgot to say this in the other post that I just did, probably thanks to the others, I am the fourth of my grandparents' grandchildren to come to school here, the only Amity Brockert there's ever been as far as I and my author know and I completely refuse to figure out either which number I am in my generation or which number Brockert (or related party) I am to attend Sonora. That is way too much work and not what I want to do with my brand new free time.
Wow there seems to be a lot of girls this term...we blokes need to stick together. I'm a pure-blood, Cepheus's younger brother, and looking adamantly to make my own friends in Pecari. I like misfits and people who would usually be considered outsiders, but it doesn't seem like there are that many of those here...I look forward to meeting you all though!
40Rupert PrincetonI'm the middle child too!248Rupert Princeton05
I'd prefer, Miss Brockert, that you do - *is kicked under the table* - that.
*Surveys Rupert* I don't understand why you'd like social and familial failures, but you're certainly right about how we need to stick together, with so many....
Being the youngest has its ups and downs

*Looks around and decides to decide if the amount of 'my X is connected to your Y' in this year is a good thing later*
Good day, everyone. I am Alan Raines, from Illinois, and I am Isabel's third cousin, not her brother. I am, though, Sara's brother and going to be in Teppenpaw. I look forward to meeting you all, though I've got to think more about the idea of allying against the girls. It might not be great for my health.
