OH, STRUGGLE IS RIGHT,
what's black is white,
friends
Although generally very mature and polite, Arcadia isn't that friendly of a person. Especially to muggle-borns, while some exceptions can be bade with half-bloods. Given her own strictly pure heritage, she's quite bias about that. She's not above sucking up and showing a sweeter side to gain a friend that might give her an advantage later on, and she would call that something along the lines of "strictly professional". After all, she was groomed quite specifically. However, that doesn't mean she's not open to friendships, because really she could use some companionship. She'd likely best get along with fellow Slytherins, but that's not a strict limiter. Whoever it is would have to put up with her sharp tongue and bluntness however, as well as her sometimes unnerving ability to be rarely faxed by anything at all. But I think she'd do good with a close friend or two (perhaps a partner in crime, so-to-speak?) whom she could share her few and far between visions with, and just relax around for once in her life.
foes
This list is much easier to make. Any muggle-borns and probably a fair number of half-bloods automatically make this list, the latter ultimately depending on attitude and opinion. Arcadia doesn't necessarily go looking for enemies -- they find her when they dare to disagree with her, and things tend to spiral from there. When she takes a disliking to somebody, she makes a habit of holding a fair grudge on them, and it's bound to last into the foreseeable future(because she's rarely given a good reason to drop such things). However, she doesn't let them get in the way of her better judgement at all. This is most likely to be mutual because if somebody doesn't like her then she takes it as a reason to do the same in return, but it could also be one-sided either way if played right. She also tends to hate anybody too "righteous" and "goody-two-shoes" for her taste, and she's likely to be a bit more prejudges against anybody outside of her house (particularly Gryffindors, though this doesn't always have to be the case). Quiddich-related rivalries are also legit too, as she is seeker for the Slytherin team. Some class rivalries in terms of performance might be fun, considering that Arcadia takes her studies quite seriously. No wrong answers here~.
lovers
Naturally, Arcadia be openly picky about anyone she could be bothered to date -- they would have to be pure-blood and nothing less, to start off. And of course she'd have to be able to put up with them and vice versa, and she'd want the right respect. There would be no putting up with any funny business here, so players be warned. However, that doesn't mean she can help it if she falls for somebody a little less to her perfection. A little "forbidden" romance (which for her, translates to anybody not pure-blood) might be interesting to experiment with. Like with friends, the girl's not above dating somebody to rise up a bit on the latter, and she's not too bad at manipulation and deception either. She prefers to keep the darker things to herself, but once she really got to know somebody she'd gradually open up to them. And by that point she'd be fiercely loyal to them as she'd see fit, showing surprising devotion for a girl with a demeanor like hers usually is. For this, perhaps a few past and future relationships, and a long-term one for the future? Even if Arcadia is picky I'm not, so don't let her limitations get you down too much.
others
Family is inevitable here, of course -- given that fact that most every pure-blood family is related to one another somehow, theres bound to be cousins and aunts and uncles and so on. Siblings are always fine with me whether older or younger (though since the Lestranges are a canon family, you'll obviously need staff permission first). A childhood friend or acquaintances from before Hogwarts aren't out of the question either, although Arcadia didn't socialize a whole lot with kids her age growing up, so there might be some limitations there. And of course, if anybody can think of any plots revolving around the fact that she's a seer, then that'd be awesomee. Perhaps some Quiddich-related things here, too? Other than all that, I'm completely open for any idea or suggestions y'all wanna throw out there. 'Cause plots are far too yummy to pass up, amirite? |D
