She posts TikToks of herself using her powers. Her most popular video is one where she yells about the proper pronunciation of her name. “It isn’t a macaron like macaroni. It’s macarrrrooon, Stacey. God.” It has since become a meme, with people posting videos where they roll the r for as long as possible, and teens everywhere say “It’s macarrrrrroooon, Stacey.”

So, alternate universe, and the Beacon playbook is already taken. What’s up in the 616 AU?

Is she a transfer student? Latina? Other?
(Is she AU Superchica?)
@insomn14 You first introduced Gothwitch, and I’m going to GM my way in here and say we’ve established a strong she/her vibe, but tell us about her playbook.
Also: What about her has made you, umm… pay attention to her, long before you dropped into her family’s q-mobile?
Second question to @garrett - what’s the thing about the intel you/AEGIS have on Gothwitch that legitimately surprised you?

Brain, then. She’ll undoubtedly have a Shame around fire or chemistry gone badly.
She fought a vicious spectral creature - maybe a supervillain, maybe just something - that was preying on mortal grief. Under any other circumstances this is something you’d brag about, but she’s never ever said a word of it in public.

Quoth Margie:
The person on the ship is Staci Olav, part of the science community. She’s okay for a topsider, really smart, but self-focused. So wouldn’t mind being KK’s lab partner, but expect him to not be a great conversationlist.

I definitely intended Latina. Hmm. Sure. Make her AU Superchica. Tends to dress/costume in pastels, though.

She’s the Janus. She has some abilities all the time (enough to pass for a low-level super) but to access her full power, she needs to transform into Crisis Sorceress: Amethyst Fairy, a magical girl. And she hates that. Hates it so much. She’s also not the first Crisis Sorceress, so there’s all that baggage she’s trying to avoid.
Roddy’s got a crush on her. But it’s not “part of the mission” so he is kind of a dunce about it.

While I don’t think the questions we ask need to be as “feral” as Monsterhearts calls for, I think it’s okay to ask some questions with at least some bite. For example, here’s a list someone on the Masks discord compiled, of 100 dumb teenage drama moves.
The list can be used for a lot of things, but an easy one is to roll d100 and go from there. For example, I rolled 25, and got “paint, egg, or sugar up someone’s car”. I could then ask “The student at that seat messed with another student’s car. Whose, and what happened?”

I will never be able to 
this enough. This was everything I was hoping for with her and so much more. Your other answer was icing on a raimbow cake.

So, who/what next? (Trying to keep the ball rolling here.)
Sorry. I lost internet for awhile. Next one incoming.
First: @garrett would you drop Hot Mess and Nono into the seating chart as you see fit? And can you link the fics that focus on their characters? I know we’re AU, but I want a head start on getting them right.
WHOEVER INTRODUCED PROBLEM CHILD to the class: give us some deets, please: names, pronouns, powers/playbook, please. (Or if it was a joke, just lemme know and we’ll zap them.)
Problem Child questions will be for @Dave and whoever came up with them.

The entire Hot Mess story is tagged here.
The two things I’d want someone to read are Emma’s introduction, and Dinosaur Island.
Key Emma/Hot Mess themes:
- Pyrokinetic Harley Quinn
- Pretty competent villain
- Total disregard for societal expectations
- More thoughtful than she seems
Key Nono themes:
- Lonely troubled teenager
- Actual attention management issues
- Brilliant at chemistry
- Hidden strengths

If you need one of them to do something here’s a 1d6 oracle.
Emma 1: starts a fight; 2: talks shit about someone; 3: decides someone is her rival; 4: embroils a student in her schemes; 5: brings outside trouble to the school; 6: exposes a dark secret about a heroic student
Nono 1: writes fanfic about someone; 2: has to shut Emma’s latest shenanigans down; 3: needs a confidence boost about something; 4: acts as wingwoman or confidante to someone in need; 5: gushes enthusiastically about something weird; 6: has an episode and needs to be pulled out of it

While we’re on that, here’s some more.
Roy 1: gives some folksy but useful advice; 2: exaggerates a story while downplaying his own role in it; 3: is a little too honest for his own good; 4: accidentally breaks something, but apologizes sheepishly; 5: disappears for long stretches of time, asks for homework coverage; 6: intervenes in a fight in a rapid, brutal fashion
I marked him as a Scion. Make of that what you will.

Just to be transparent, I’m trying to work one student a time so we can build off what’s already gone in a bit. I’ve got lots of questions - enough to fire off stuff at everyone about EVERYONE, but if I did that everything would kind of be in a silo.
