Hiya! I'm looking for a few plots to get the ball rolling with Tilly! These are the ones I considered most important, but you can find more of them in her hub topic, linked here for convenience, or on my sig!
A Muggle Roommate
I think it’d be really fun to have someone who isn’t a spellcaster live with Tilly, having a unique insight on how she works and likely growing increasingly irritated with her in the beginning, as she spends most of her free time locked in the room, reading or experimenting, not to mention the fact that she shorts out most nearby technology when she does this. The roommate situation could be a temporary thing that leads to her being assigned her own room, or it could be permanent and lead to a long-term friendship. The roommate need not be completely non-magical, but preferably someone who doesn’t cast spells or use rituals, but rather has natural powers of their own.
A Rival
Tilly’s power comes from blood, sweat, and many bottles of excedrin. The majority of her time is just spent re-memorizing spells she already knows, and every act of spellcraft from her is a labor of love. I’d love for her to have a rival who has magic come to them naturally. This should be someone who casts spells but can do so without much prep, preferably someone with a natural gift, but not necessarily someone who didn’t earn their powers, though they might be perceived as that by Tilly. This could be a friendly rivalry, bitter frenemies, or a hated nemesis.
A Muggle Bestie
Can overlap with the roommate thing. Someone who doesn’t cast spells, maybe even someone with a power set completely alien to her own, with an entirely different way of looking at the world, or someone with no powers at all. This will be Tilly’s confidante, someone to bounce ideas off of and someone to show her things he might not have otherwise noticed.
A Magical Mentor
Definitely a lot of these. Tilly wants to learn a lot. I foresee her not going for very long without a new power to train, or an old one to upgrade. I really wanna see her come into her own with a vast arsenal of spells, so learning tricks from as many people as possible would be awesome. She’s a bit of a blank slate right now, so the magic she learns will shape her greatly. Her lust for power would make her easily turned to the dark side if exploited, but at the moment it’s not much more than an obsessive curiosity. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a teacher, this can be basically anyone who has anything to teach her.
A Professor Snape
I just really like the mean teacher trope. Maybe she fries their computer on the first day of class because she forgot her bracelet. I’d also like this teacher to teach her something (Maybe by accident) that actually comes in very useful later, possibly even saving her life.
