Liberal Arts Society ic

Name: Minnie Duke
Preferred Code Name: Hermes
Code Name Reason: Minnie is a trickster. No denying it, and she doesn't. Unless there is a teacher of course, and then she is a perfectly innocent person. She's fast and light on her feet, which would make her the perfect messenger. But the main part is that Hermes was partly the god of tricksters, and she is one.
Favourite Literary Quote: “But you don’t have to be part of a group to understand that they’re being mistreated. Justice doesn’t require a membership card. Just a sense of right and wrong.”
-Sydney (James Ponti, City Spies)
Reason for Application: Minnie loves history, as well as writing, so this club is litterly meant for her.
Possession of Fake Form?: Have you met her? Yes.

Name: Ehsilat Wilst
Preferred Code Name:Hestia
Code Name Reason: Ehsi has a lot of aspirations and would like to do many things.
Favourite Literary Quote:“I used to comfort myself with the belief that it was only certain individuals and their peculiar notions that spoilt things for the rest of us. But how many individuals does it take before it's not the individuals who are prejudiced but society itself?”
― Malorie Blackman, Noughts & Crosses
Reason for Application: She would love to read aspiring authors work and produce writings of her own.
Possession of Fake Form?: Yup!

Name: Simon Kincaid
Preferred Code Name: Eros
Code Name Reason: He is the god of love and my boy, born on Valentine’s Day, is all about the love
Favourite Literary Quote: “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find out you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Reason for Application: Simon enjoys classic literature including that of mythology and understanding how it related to the people at the time it was written.
Possession of Fake Form?: yes

Name: AngelFyre McCubbin
Preferred Code Name: Ceres

Code Name Reason: AngelFyre is a vegetarian and all about animals and nurturing and will one day be mother to at least 12 children of her own (Simon generally insists on the "at least" phrase preceding the numeral 12. ) Ceres is the Roman goddess of Agriculture, fertility, and motherly instincts to nurture. In AF's case, that applies to both people and the planet upon which they live.

Favourite Literary Quote: There are so many. Right now it is this one:
“Every life is different because you passed this way and touched history.... Listen: being dead is not worse than being alive. It is different, though. You could say the view is larger.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

Reason for Application: AF grew up with an impressive personal family library at home. Education is important to both of her parents, but especially to her father. They would read together each night from the classics before she was sent off to bed, and discuss what had been read, sometimes over the course of weeks, long after the book may have been finished and a new one started. She has a deep love and affinity for them, all on their own merit, but also because of the feeling of home they bring to her. Would be wonderful to get a bit of that feeling here at Hogwarts.

Possession of Fake Form?: But of course!

Name: Della Barfield
Preferred Code Name: Mneme
Code Name Reason: Della has been on the hunt for what happened to her father. Who was he? Her mother doesn't seem to have concrete memories she's willing to share, so Della picked the muse of memory. She's also talented at drawer, so it was cool to pick a muse to inspire her.
Favourite Literary Quote:
“Seeing ourselves clearly is the project of a lifetime.” -- Nathan Hill, The Nix
Reason for Application: Della has always been bookish. And she's trying to make more friends and be social. The secret vibes of the club appealed to her even more. She wasn't particularly knowledgeable about classical mythology, but the club has her interested now!
Possession of Fake Form?: The Hogsmeade one? nope, sold it as a third-year AF let me know I needed it for the room of requirement lol, so I bought it back :}

Thank you and have a great day!

Hi! Yes, I would like to remain a member. Sorry, but I was not even aware there was a current meeting taking place as I was never tagged, which is a shame, nor was @Simon Kincaid or @Della Barfield.

I will read the current meeting, but am not certain I can say at this point whether AF will join it or not until I have read it. AngelFyre is just not one to show up late to things. Will get back to you on this point after reading what she has missed.

Yes, sorry we forgot to tag the members that joined afterwards. Please feel free to do whatever fits your character.

Hi! I'm still interested in the club as well. I forgot to post in the club meeting thread but I'll get to that as soon as possible if we decide to continue it.
