Congrats, Michael!

"Michael is an amazing roleplayer. The way he portrays McGonagall is amazing- and definitely does justice to the character. He's met the challenges of playing the headmistress head on, and is doing an amazing job of establishing her at Hogwarts. It amazes me how excellent she is. Even so- Michael is more than just McGonagall. He's a genuinely nice and helpful person, who is up for any plot you throw at him. He's willing to thread with basically anybody. His characters are all very interesting and well written. He's got an upbeat, cheery attitude that's infectious. I'm glad to have gotten to know Michael- as a roleplayer and as a person. I can't wait to see what else he has in store for Hogwarts, and can't wait to be a part of it."

"After a long time away, Michael returned to AO with an infectious brand of enthusiasm and a new lineup of characters that overflow with personalities and bring an extra bit of flavor to Hogwarts. Afterall, who doesn't feel like a first year breaking curfew after reading a post containing one of Headmistress McGonagall's infamous stern looks? Soon, Michael had an active cast of characters, from a mean-spirited Whitman to happy Hufflepuff, and they have been an absolute ball to thread with."

Thoughts and Impressions

A Ball being a wonderful opportunity to just to be with friends and make merry. Minerva McGonagall had joined them, the Headmistress herself, a witch Xiomara had always much admired. And she was making merry in the way they all seemed to be favoring at the moment: bitter complaining about young people these days.
~Xiomara Hooch (on Minerva McGonagall)

She was slightly surprised that it was Eli, who- as far as she recalled- used bats as a replacement for owls, for reasons she'd never quite understood. Although if he was ready to jump to such conclusions, it was understandable that he would have a reason to dislike them.

~Alexandra Carstairs (on Elijah Grimlish)

"You're Robards' lad," he said, simply, a clear touch of disappointment in his tone. Given Gawain Robard's position and station in life, one would have thought his son would be a bit more impressive. Either in stature or presence or abilities. But, after having trailed the kid for several weeks, it had seemed he'd been none of those things.

~Cináed Tawse (on Charlie Robards)

Ooh, this troublesome, trifling woman - add a weathered bicycle, a melodic tone that sounded almost demonic and bathe her in sepia tones and you'd have a wicked old witch indeed.
~Maurice Holmes (on Jacqueline Lumpkin)

His younger brother’s voice was unmistakable, as was his ego. There had been a handful of times he’d stopped in at Juliette’s flat to crash while visiting Paris, and found the comfortable couch already formed to another.
