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.

She did go to the town school and she'll be deeply offended if Mr. DeWitt doesn't remember his star pupil. Meera was one of those students who tried harder to get chummy with their teachers than their peers. She still probably runs after him when she sees him in town to try to ask his opinion on some book or another.
Meera would be a little threatened by Zoe. She's so pretty and smart and successful, etc., etc. I can definitely see them being casual friends with maybe a weird undercurrent of tension?
Pester Jordan, you got it! She would anyway, just because he's from such powerful families and has access to important records. I expect she's barged into the archives several times already with a pot of tea and some biscuits and basically forced him to chat with her.
I can see that. Meera's mother would have tried to distance herself from Medea after her fall, so Meera would be taught not to talk to Briony. Which, really, would just make her all the more curious about her. So Meera might snoop around the pharmacy and awkwardly try to engage Briony.
Idk about any set CR, but Meera would definitely look at Avery with stars in her eyes. So beautiful, so happy, so free~ There might be a schoolgirl crush a-brewing.
Yes, she will definitely come visit Ben. I imagine she goes in quite a lot, since it's basically a bartender's job to listen to people gab. Ben and Meera could be good friends, or maybe he's just doing his job humoring her and she values him a lot more than he values her? Your call!
Ooh, just from reading through his profile, I can see Meera and Peter hating each other. They're both arrogant know-it-alls, but their personalities go in completely different directions. I'd love to have them clash at some point.
Just tossing out ideas! Woo, this got really long.

I can see being threatened. Zoe is one of those girls who seems like she gets everything she wants dropped in her lap (though she does work for it) so I can see there being some intimidation. She's usually quite friendly and nice, though, so unless Meera was a complete bitch to her, she wouldn't try to intimidate.
Oh God. He probably is getting used to it, but at first just stared at her like "Why are you here again I just had tea half an hour ago." He likely gets irritated with her in time, but if she makes herself useful...less so. XD
Both the Briony and Avery CR seems good to me. Briony is pretty used to a lot of old Spades giving her a wide berth or coming around curiously. And if Meera wanted to spout off medical facts at her, she'd be so amused. She also can't stand Julien, so she'd probably be absolutely cool with Meera's ambitions (actually, Zoe can't stand Julien either, and Jordan is ambivalent, mostly.)
Ben will sit there and patiently listen to her babble. Maybe use it as an excuse to talk to someone about all the things he learned in uni, too, since most people in the Deck don't really care much about, say, his thesis on the Battle of Bannockburn. XD
Oh, they will. There will be so much snark, I can see it now. She should catch him the next time he wanders into Spade Castle or in Town sometime. XD
We both wrote novels, but it's cool~
