intro

Hey, everybody! I'm Dee. I'm completely new to the game and DW role-playing in general, so I hope you'll be patient with me while I get the shape of things. I'm really excited to dig in here, though, and to start writing with all of you. HoC's concept is fantastic.

I'll be bringing in Meera, a Four of Spades. You can read more about her here, but I'll give you a quick rundown. Her mother was something of a wunderkind in her day. People expected a lot from her. But, around the time that she met Meera's father, her interest in the game started to dwindle. Her competitive spirit was passed down to Meera. Meera is incredibly motivated and determined to one day be the Ace of Spades. Keywords: one day. For now, she's perfectly happy to run errands for her betters in the castle. You never know what you might overhear changing the linens, after all.

What else, what else. She's extremely chatty and is less socially graceful than most other Spades. She's still very courteous, but if she sees someone, no matter their rank or suit, chances are she'll try to talk the ears off them.

Meera was born in the Deck to a Spade mother and (though Meera herself doesn't know it) a Club father, so she's bound to know a lot of people. I love all kinds of CR, so just toss anything at me. And apologies in advance to the Spades. She is going to pester the socks off all of you.

Hello, Dee! Glad to welcome someone new into the fold! I'm Drea and I've got three kiddos:

This one here is Rachel Caustello, 10♦. She used to be the Queen, but then the Arcana plot happened and she had to step down and leave the Deck due to severe injuries in a fight. She came back last December and nowadays is usually seen around the Diamonds castle on crutches and Getting Things Done. She probably knows of Rachel/knows her by sight because of her former Queenship, but they probably don't know one another terribly well.

I've also got Rowan Maclean, Q♥ (gotyourheart). Until a couple days ago she was just a 9, and she's also Head of Security for the Hearts. She used to have a fling with the current King of Spades, so maybe when that was going on Meera might have seen her in the Spades castle more, but other than that I can't think of anything either.

And, finally, if Meera likes coffee or just wants to get away to Town every so often, I've got Teresa Robledo, 4♣ (hey_sexy_latte). She's the same age as Meera and a Deckbaby as well, so they probably interacted at school or something like that. She's since moved out of the Clubs Castle and into Town, where she works at her aunt's coffee shop, Cafe Cocodrillo.

Aaand, I think that's it! Welcome again :D

Hello!

Meera will be very deferential to Rowan and Rachel, too, but yeah I don't see them having interacted much in the past.

Meera comes into the cafe regularly. Probably acts like she and Teresa were great friends in school whether they actually were or not.

Thanks so much.

I am totally cool with Teresa and Meera being fairly good friends, if you like. o/ Meera can go be frustrated at her for not wanting to climb any farther than Four and Teresa can just tsk at her and give her coffee and free pastries when she's stressed out. :P
