Aw even if I do a solo where she and her parents find out she's actually a half-blood??

Hi there!
I just wanted to add that Wizardborn students can be biologically identical to halfblood students in terms of muggle parentage but it just means that she would have been raised in a wholly magic household without much contact with the muggle world. As per the setting lord on blood status:

This option is unique to H.io and does not have an official canon definition. The definition on H.io means that your character is born to two magical parents, but the family has traceable Muggle heritage (somewhere in the last couple of generations). This means a wizardborn is a halfblood, but the unique aspect here is that by choosing wizardborn, you are saying your character was raised in a completely magical household with little to no contact with the Muggle world. This is why Wizardborn characters cannot take the Muggle Condition ability.

Not sure if this is helpful but, on the basis that you would write a solo with her and her parents finding out that she is ‘halfblooded’, that would probably still fit the wizardborn criteria as they would have raised her in a magical household.
(So basically wizardborn could already fit your character including your plans for her and there wouldn’t be a need to change it)

It’s still too late. Your profile card is expected to be a source of truth even if IC your character doesn’t know their correct blood status.

Edited to add: blood status thread where this information lives.

Ah oki. Thanks guys!!

Very specific question, I'm not sure if anyone will actually be able to answer this but I might as well ask.
I plan on having my character get braces, and I have a valid reason for her to be able to get them, however I realized that when at hogwarts she wouldn't actually be able to visit the orthodontist to have her braces tightened. Does anyone know a possible solution for this, or know if it can honestly be a plot hole that dosen't need to be filled in?

On weekends with parental permission students can leave for the day via the floo network. I’ve done that in the past with RPs. Don’t know if it would work, but it’s an idea.

Thank you!

Okay, so I’m a mentor and have a mentee in Hufflepuff. For some reason I can’t view any of the Common Rooms of the other houses (can obviously see and post in Gryffindor). Basically earlier I could view the posts in the other common rooms and other areas, but now I can’t view the common rooms but can see everything else. Is this a bug or how it is supposed to be?

What it looks like for me:

yes that's how it's supposed to look! we don't have common room access to other houses because then you'd be able to get more than your ten sickles in your respective house. we recently got access for the other houses (except for common rooms) so we can check the threads.

Ah! That makes sense! Thanks!
