I'm fighting of some sort of cold or something so please forgive me if I ramble or I don't make sense.

Hi, I'm Selina and I'm playing Gansey, an obscure nerd from the Raven Cycle books. He's obsessed with a dead Welsh king that he's searching for in Virginia. Yes, Virginia. Don't ask unless you want a history lesson.

Gansey had some triggery things happen to him when he was a child related to insects. So he has some PTSD that he pretends doesn't exist, an epic case of insomnia, and a fixation on boat shoes. He builds model towns when he can't sleep and owns a bright orange Camaro that you'll be seeing (and hearing) around Deerington. He's the son of a wealthy politician so he can be charming and hides behind a lot of masks so that people don't see the real version of him. At his canon point, he's also fated to die in a few months so he has some issues related to that.

Gansey has weird magical talents that are barely discussed in the books. He can find lost things and he has voice magic that was never clearly defined. I headcanon that the reason why he seems so charismatic is accidental use of that magic, but I don't play that often unless it's discussed with everyone involved.

His two best friends, Ronan Lynch ([profile] enbodier),m and Adam Parrish ([personal profile] scrlies) are here too.

He arrives right after he died and was resurrected (he's not even sure he actually was resurrected) so he's going to be a bit confused for a few days.
