WOW WE SURE HAVE HAD A LOT OF NOT!MEMES LATELY

and it's my turn! Specifically, what does your character find attractive in others? it could be physical traits, personality traits, hobbies, that Sims-esque heart-shaped hot tub full of somebody else's blood in their back room, anything - what do they look for in a prospective partner? do they admit to looking for these things? do they event realize they look for these things? Do they look at all?

Andromeda likes ... oh, gosh. She's still a Slytherin first and foremost, so while her love interests do not necessarily have to be someone who's ambitious, they do have to be someone she feels like she's on equal footing with. They need to be able and willing to challenge her regularly, and they can't be a doormat for her opinions. With Ted, the first thing that attracted her to him was his staunch unwillingness to stop hitting on her despite her constantly shutting him down. Then he got creative with his wooing attempts and ... well, they had a pretty happy marriage out of it!

She likes 'bad boys' in the sense that she's attracted to people who got outside of what her established societal norms entail (not rich, not snobbish, not completely dull and proper), but not in the sense that she's attracted to recklessness. Just the opposite, in fact.

AS FAR AS in game right now, because she's still on the heels of her husband dying and then losing the near-entirety of her family, I can see her kind of going one of two ways with romance. She'll either end up having a series of selfish flings with others that blow up in her face and eventually find one that she just can't seem to shake, or she's going to just try to quash any and all romantic urges out of guilt over Ted and fear of judgment from the Pottercast (particularly Nymphadora, for obvious reasons). Probably some combination of those two options, actually.

On a side note, I'm up for potential relationship plotting with both my girls as long as it's vaguely feasible!
