WANTED: College Roommate

So, I've decided that Desdemona, nightmare demigoddess and college freshman, is clearly a character who is in need of a roommate.

But not just any roommate. No, I want to subject Des to someone who is, by surface traits at least, her opposite. Bright. Colourful. Extroverted. Animated. Downright perky, even. A real life morning person who doesn't require copious amounts of caffeine to function. A big old ray of sunshine, preferably with some kind of pretty, sparkly powers to match, or at least powers that would be recognized by the average person as something positive. Someone who Des would have never seen herself hanging out with before, and yet is now right here, an inescapable part of her daily routine.

That said, I'm mostly aiming for an opposites attract angle, not a driving-each-other-up-the-wall one (well, okay, maybe a little bit of that). Not necessarily romantic, but someone who Desdemona can open up to and depend on. Being in such close proximity makes them a prime target for accidental use of her nightmare powers, or catching her crying in the middle of the night, giving them the opportunity to see a side of her that she's still fighting to hide.

As much as I like Vinanye, this set-up, sadly, really does need to involve another student in a dorm room, as she needs to be thrown together with them by outside forces for it to work. Desdemona getting an off-campus residence would be in the pursuit of ensuring that she didn't have to share her living space with someone, since the situation I'm trying to get her into is one she'd rather avoid if given a choice in the matter.

(I'd love to have Des and Vinnie make friends in general, though. Nothing says she can't have more than one sunshine friend.)

Sorry for not getting back to you right away. It's been a heck of a week and a half for me. I'm glad that the ad piqued your interest! Did you wanna brainstorm over PM?
