Alrighty, so this is Joe. He's very quiet and the type that you wouldn't typically notice if you weren't looking for him. He has a younger sister whom he's very protected over. Their mother died a few years ago, and Joe still sort of blames himself for it. If you want more information on that, you can read all about it in his <a href="http://z13.invisionfree.com/HEADEDFORHELL/index.php?showtopic=2400"><span style="font-size: 9px; text-transform: lowercase;">application</span></a>. He doesn't obsess over schooling, and he's rather average when it comes to his magic abilities. He'll be attempting to become an Auror once he leaves school. He has a handful of fears that he doesn't like others to know about such as thunder, lightning, heights, and cats. He's terrified of cats.

<p><b>Friends!</b> He probably has a few of these! I imagine his closest friends will be somewhat like him, and a bit reserved. He'll get along with just about anyone. He's not the type to simply go out and talk badly about someone. Joe will defend his friends until the very end and will do everything in his power to keep them safe. He's a bit overprotective of all his friends, so I imagine that could get a little bit annoying.<p>

<b>Lovers!</b> He's a virgin. He's had a small handful of girlfriends and has experienced some sexual encounters with them, but no one's taken his v-card, yet. He simply didn't think the timing was right and he frequently gets a little bit nervous about it. When people openly flirt with him, he gets a bit bashful and awkward. However he's perfectly capable of flirting with girls on his own. Pretty girls just don't generally talk to him in such a manner. <p>

<b>Haters!</b> Muggleborn. So that's obvious. Also, he has a very, very quick temper if you throw an insult towards his sister or his dead mother. He will hit you for it. Be warned.<p>

Alright! So that's Joey. Plot away. <3</div>

What a cutie <3 I can't see him and Dorcas being really close friends, but I do think they would get along. They're both muggleborns and share similar values about bloody prejudice and whatnot, and both want to become Aurors. They'll know each other through classes since they're in the same year, and through Ella if Joseph and Ella are good friends. So, casual friends, maybe? The sort who get along well but don't generally spend time together just the two of them.

Joseph is such an endearing character. I want to say that he and Mariela would get along great and even if they would have been shy about starting a conversation (I picture Mariela trying to but being put off by how quiet he is) seven years of seeing each other would be enough to break the ice. That is why I would happily declare them friends, if that's alright with you. Silly friends? Waving at each other in hallways friends? Hmm, sorry can't say that's helpful but I'm open to suggestions.
