Back when I was more in Danny Phantom fandom

Hazel Winter- She was a girl on the journalism team for the school paper, and she and Sam sorta knew each other because they went to the same temple. When Danny Phantom's exploits started becoming more of a big thing and people were talking about them, and whether Danny was a hero or a trouble maker, Hazel started trying to investigate and find out. She sorted of filled the "nosy/curious reporter" role that was typical in superhero stories. She was part of a fic I tossed around for a while that was made to show Danny's actions from an outside perspective.

I saw a lot of people in the fandom who seemed to think that the people who didn't trust Danny were being irrational meanies. And I sort of planned the fic to show that while WE see someone who's trying to do the right thing, people who are not in the know and don't have the same context the viewers have may not exactly see it the same way.

Now I have two in the Harry Potter fandom for a world-building story

Scarlett Seymour- A Louisiana vampiress and witch who was turned back in the late 1800s. or early 1900s.

She plays up the whole southern belle act while actually being a rather sadistic killer. A lot of her killings have been pinned on men in the past, but as times are changing she's having to get smarter and more careful.

Beauford Montegomery III- A vampire from around the same time as Scarlett. He's charming, but also dangerous guy. He's probably more methodical and neat in his killings. He's a former lover of Scarlett until he believed she betrayed her and the two had a nasty breakup. They tend to compete in their killings trying to see who can top the other. They probably know each other the best and are playing a game with each other as well as the wizarding and muggle authorities. He's also known to be quite a thrill seeker, and there are reports from a few and some rumors that he actually enjoys the Cruciatus Curse.

(I've always headcanoned that Bellatrix enjoyed the Cruciatus somewhat, I don't know if that counts as proper precedent for most people. But...people can apparently overcome the Imperius so...eh

The latter I'm planning to use for a Harry Potter crime/Aurors story and put my years of watching crime shows to use.

Wait, you're writing HP now? I'm curious as to how you're portraying the US and magic in it. I'm writing a few fics myself involving OCs (that will hopefully not see the internet), but I'm curious as to how you're addressing magic in different cultures/through history.

For example, in one I'm writing now, the OC was in school (not terribly different from Hogwarts, but founded by some of the original witch pilgrims off the Mayflower)while the Battle of Hogwarts and all that jazz took place. She didn't hear much about it(until it was over). Clearly, there was already magic in these lands, how was the interaction between the tribes in the are and these newcomers? What about Muggle relations, involving different cultures that perceive magic differently? For example, the OC is a daughter of immigrants that have their own understanding of magic and a varied linage themselves; for example, magic isn't controlled by a wand but non verbally, and as a result the character learns to use the wand at school, etc.

Anyway, it'd be cool to chat about it/see how others deal with it!

I have been writing it, though I've recently faded in and out from time to time based on my obsessions.

I sort of portray the US as being somewhat more progressive than England in terms of awareness of muggle/wizards relationships. The problems aren't gone but there's more understanding that the things are actually problems.

Although from state to state attitudes do differ. In some states, you're more likely to face blood elitism while in others its very rare. There's more awareness that puureblood eltism is bad and why. American society likes to think/claim they're past it in the same way that people like to say that america has become a post racist society but it's really not. At some point in history, the wizard government stopped keeping as much tabs one who was what blood to show that it didn't (or shouldn't)matter.

But they still do keep tabs on children being raised in muggle homes for the sake of their safety.

I believe that there is some cooperation between wizard and muggle governments and stuff like the police are aware of the Aurors.

Lots of countries have their own magical traditions handed down. In the past and throughout history their have been laws and regulations one foreign magical practices meant to deal with dark wizardry but often abused for racism.

In modern times , in law enforcement magic is judged based how it's used, while there are some things that are taboo , like the Unforgivables.

Also some people use instead of normal wands items with a wand wood and core. Some pay big bucks for the wand wood and core to be embedded or made into something, like a walking stick or knife handle.

There's still a lot of prejudice toward known vampires and werewolves in a lot of places.

There are a handful of schools I've come up with, and there are a lot of communities in all the states where wizards can get together. Many of these communities pretend to be religious communities when it comes to muggles.

Those are some things I've come up with. What you've come up with sounds really cool!
