ALL ALLY ALL THE TIME pt 1
Ally toward his parents:
The Maddock parents towards Ally:
Ally loves his parents, and he thinks he should be the center of their attention. And the Maddock parents were great parents! Though always like, “oh god, every summer they come home and THEY’RE STILL FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER” re: he and his sister. BUT, there has always been a kind of forced disconnect, since they’re Muggles and he’s off in magic land, playing a magic sport, and he can’t share everything with them. If something happens (like when Marcas died), he’s going to turn to his sister first, because he doesn’t have to explain all these magic things to her, and she can have more constructive advice.
2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?
He’s just a fucking GIANT IS ALL.
3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?
Dude you know he has so many fucking scars. He has a scar on the back of his head, which is really only mostly noticeable if he has really short hair, or if you feel like digging through his mop of hair to make sure it’s really there. It’s from a stupid fight with Maddy when they were like 5 and 9 and she pushed him off a jungle gym. And even though he totally started it, she got in trouble because he started bleeding a lot and crying and acting all dramatic about it, the little shit.
4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?
On a scale of 1-10, he’s like a 5. He plays it up like he’s super confident, all charming and flirty and shit, but he’s gangly as fuck and he slouches and he thinks he’s kind of weird looking and he’s kind of self conscious about it.
5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale?
He’s like a 1. Pretty much almost completely straight, but, hey, never say never. What if he meets the most charming motherfucker on the planet, huh?
6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.
The first time he scored a goal in a professional match. It was in his first year on the team, a little ways into the season, and it was a really long game so the entire Chaser team was B squad and they’d practiced together a bunch so he was feeling preeeetty on fire. He got the Quaffle right before hitting the goal line, and he didn’t have time to overthink anything before just slamming the Quaffle into the center goal. And Ally was STOKED AF, YOU GUYS, THAT WAS AWESOME.
7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?
Proooobably his buddy dying right before his birthday. That was a pretty shitty thing.
8.) Day of Favorites! What’s your character’s favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?
Ice cream flavor: Chocolate chip cookie dough.
Color: Orange.
Song: Big Balls - AC/DC. He thinks it’s funny as fuck.
Flower: Daisy.
9.) Who does your character trust?
Maddy, his parents, Meaghan, probably most of his teammates. Ally trusts a lot of people. He doesn’t really know yet that there are some people he should mistrust.
10.) Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.
Umm, he hasn’t had many MAJOR huge turning points, but I guess they would be…
- when he made it onto the Gryffindor Quidditch team second year, because that made him realize he was officially awesome. He was a straight white boy who was good at sports, his life was gonna be grrrreat.
- when he broke his back, because what 20-year-old boy thinks he’s actually capable of being hurt? And suddenly he realized OH GOD, I’M CAPABLE OF BEING HURT, maybe I should be afraid sometimes?
- when Marcas died, because hang on, they were nonpolitical Quidditchers, how the hell were they getting wrapped up in the war? And also, holy shit, they were mortal? but oh god no when you’re like 21 you’re supposed to be fucking immortal oh shit.
