“Well… It’s harder to explain than for you to experience it for yourself,” the boy admitted, finishing off his sweets as they walked down the aisle of the shop.
“See, sometimes the town changes,” he began to say, regardless. “It’s kind of… Uh, I don’t know if anyone knows what causes it. Sometimes it comes out and they announce who caused it, but sometimes it feels kinda random… It’s kind of like, you can be thrown into a different life at a momen’t notice.”
Ronno listened to Urchin in pure intrigue. He wasn’t sure if he fully believed him, but he was eager enough to consider the feasibility of it all. “I guess that makes sense.”
Ronno wondered aloud “Maybe a different life wouldn’t be such a bad thing... eh it’s just a thought. So if the town has magic... does that mean some people have magic too? How do we know if someone does? I’d love to meet someone magical! It’s just like you said, it’s easier to experience it for myself... and I’m definitely the type to believe something once I see it.”
The blonde quickly grabbed a couple more things from his list as they went down the aisle. “Hey did you want to split a pizza or something? I know it’s not on the list but I’m thinking we might get hungry again once we bring everything back home.”

Ashley loved to go to the gym. Sometimes she got herself sweaty on the treadmill and all, but most of the time she went to the pool there. Even though her family had a pool in her own backyard, the problem with it was that people couldn’t admire her in a bikini there. Well at least, no one but her best friends and her family. That was obviously not enough for her.
So now she came here when the mood struck, pink bikini on and her hair loose and cascading over her shoulders instead of her signature ponytail. Ashley looked amazing if she said so herself, and she deserved to have her admirers.
And just as Ashley made her way into the pool, she spotted him. A cute boy doing laps across the pool. There was always something about watching attractive people work out. And the best part about it in the pool was that the chlorine could cover that terrible sweat smell.
“Ashley Armbruster, that’s right.” Oh it was good to be recognized the way she ought to be. “And who are you? I feel like I’d remember a cute face like yours around town.”
The way she strolled over was pretty mesmerizing to be honest. Popular girls had this way about how they carried themselves around, but she was different. Most of them that Ronno had dealt with were just insecure little snobs who had the personality of a codfish and went around making people feel miserable for the heck of it. Ashley, on the other hand, seemed to radiate natural confidence like it was no biggie, something Ronno could admire.
Before Ronno’s eyes could get too carried away with the blonde bombshell in front of him, he focused back on to her words. He couldn’t help but grin at her sweet remark. “I’m Ronno O’Brien. I just moved to Swnylake a couple months ago from San Francisco.” Ronno then slicked his hair back in an attempt to get some water from dripping on his head and look cool at the same time. “So far everything and everyone here is pretty great.” Ronno paused and shamelessly smiled over at Ashley “Some are even greater”
“So, hey this lane seems big enough for the two of us... if you’d like to join me that is?”

The Personality of Ronno O’Brien: Debriefed!
August 2019 Being Disney RP Task:
Ronno O’Brien:
Hogwarts House/Hogwarts Houses?
Primary: Slytherin
After reading the description of how fiercely loyal Slytherin Primaries were to those they care about, I knew this perfectly summed up Ronno. Once you are on his list of loved ones, there’s really nothing he wouldn’t do for you. While he is no pushover, he remains a steadfast friend through and through. He is also very ambitious and resourceful. He isn’t one to overlook something that could further propel him in his studies and eventual career path.
Secondary: Gryffindor
That saying “when you mess with the bull you get the horns” definitely applies with Ronno. He charges in headfast to all of his pursuits, whether good or bad. Ronno is honest and direct to a fault, maybe to the point of oversharing or bragging. There is no gray area for Ronno, it’s either he is all in or all out. Nothing can hold him back from his brash decision making.
Ilvermorny House?
Pukwudgie: The Four Ilvermorny Houses seem to represent different core physical and metaphysical parts that make up a human body: the mind, body, soul, and heart. Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, and Pukwudgie respectively. At first, I was somewhat confused to see that Ronno wasn’t a Wampus as they are described as expressive and pretty dope mo-fos. Yet, I can see how Ronno is a Pukwudgie. Pukwudgie represents the heart which further symbolizes passion, feeling, and desire. They thrive on connecting and protecting those they love. Realizing this further cemented the idea of Ronno’s unwavering loyalty and it made much more sense.
Enneagram?
Type 8 Wing 7: Ronno is a Type 8 (The Challenger). The Challenger type is described as being someone who has power, self-respect, independence, and sometimes confrontational characteristics. This pairs well with Ronno’s overall character. While he is loyal and loving to those he loves, most others he is often cold and indifferent towards. Through his various moves, he has formed this defense mechanism so as to block out anyone who would otherwise pose a threat towards him. It doesn’t take much to unsettle the guy and have him get defensive.
His Wing Type is Type 7 (The Enthusiast, which is actually me primary Enneagram type lol). The Enthusiast can be described as adaptable, fun, and somewhat scatter-brained. He shows a lot less of the scatter/distractible part of this type yet the busy and fun-loving part can be seen around friends and family. When he with those he trusts, he lets loose and becomes a rather laid-back and excitable guy.
MBTI?
ESFJ “The Supporter/Consul”: The name Supporter alone is a good way of describing Ronno. He supports all of his loved ones for better or worse. He does his best to make sure they are all taken care of and happy. He takes consideration of his social standing and how that reflects the person he wants others to think he is. He is 65% Extraverted vs. 35% Introverted. This means he can enjoy interacting with others yet he also appreciates some alone time. Ronno is 41% Intuitive vs. 59% Observant. This means he processes information in the heat of the moment, using all of his five senses to determine his course of action rather than acting on pure instinct or gut feeling. Ronno is 49% Thinking vs. 51% Feeling, meaning he isn’t one to shy away from revealing his feelings about most anything yet at times can feel mild to strong inclinations of retaining some privacy.
Moral Alignment?
Lawful Neutral: This one was rather interesting to discover yet after taking some time to really read into it, makes some sense. Lawful neutral character act based on law, tradition or personal code. He mainly acts to protect those he is loyal to, making him good to those he loves and evil to those against him. This good and bad combination is ultimately what makes him a Lawful neutral or “True Lawful”.
Sun sign?
Aries: Aries is the first sign of the Zodiacal year. They can be very impulsive and individualistic, often charging headfirst into decisions and different situations. The main lesson they need to learn is to learn how to develop the patience and stamina to follow through with everything they start. They have such energy and zeal to them that this makes them often leap to many different ideas. I can see Ronno as being impulsive and individualistic, especially with that charging method of problem-solving. I don’t see Ronno as being too impatient, in fact, he never once pressured his mom into moving somewhere safe. Instead, he rode out all the years of moving without too much strain so I’d say he can be pretty patient when he wants to be.
Moon sign?
Capricorn: The Moon sign represents innate traits one possesses. The need to take action is definitely symmetrical to Ronno’s beliefs. Capricorn moons are also responsible and resourceful which pairs to his Primary Slytherin characteristics quite well. He can be practical in how he responds from time to time. While he may respond immediately to most things, it isn’t always such an intense thing to occur. Thus, it helps to balance him out from time to time.
Rising sign?
Libra: The Rising sign represents how he can appear to others. Libra rising are noticed for their choices, whether good or bad. It also mentions being concerned with fairness towards human relationships, something Ronno definitely considers. However, his people-pleasing tendencies can get in the way of committing to a fair and objective decision. So, if he is to be as reliable and fair as he is perceived, he needs to commit to a belief rather than being wishy-washy on someone else’s behalf.

It was already July! Summer was really going by quite surprisingly fast this year Last year, it was as dull as ever back in San Francisco. Sooner or later, Ronno would be going to Swynlake for his final year of high school. His eyes were already set on attending Pride University for his choice of college. It really was the best option as it was respectable and meant that he didn’t have to move from Swnylake. The English town was starting to really grow on him. So far, everybody here was really nice and welcoming!
Today, Ronno decided to head over to Olympus Gym after breakfast to get a good workout in. He had been regularly attending ever since the move to maintain a good physical prowess before school started up again. If he was to make the swim team, he had to be physically up to par.
The pool at Olympus Gym must be the biggest pool in existence! The water was a perfect temperature, not too cold or warm. Ronno got into one of the lanes and started his routine. 500 yd Freestyle warm up to wake up his muscles. Then three sets of the 200 yd Individual Medley to work on all the strokes. Freestyle was arguably his best, and his backstroke was alright. However, his butterfly and breaststroke needed the practice. He had a habit of curling his toes in a funky way that would disqualify him in a meet (swim match), so perfecting the technique meant everything.
Catching a quick break after the first set, Ronno noticed a familiar blonde from school, Ashley Armbruster. He had only seen her a couple times before, but she was always with a group of friends with the same names as each other. Definitely a popular girl, and rather pretty... so someone he wouldn’t normally talk to. Deciding to further branch out socially and for the heck of it, Ronno waved to her. “Hey! Ashley right?”

Urchin was surprised of having apparently hit a nerve with his comment. “Okay, okay,” he replied. “I was just saying, you know? Still, it’s good to know you plan on staying! You seem to be pretty nice, so it’s good to keep you around,” the boy added, tossing more raisins into his own mouth and munching happily.
“Nah, it’s pretty common here,” Urchin said. “You know how the rest of the world isn’t very magick-friendly? Well, here we are. Most people are, at least. But sometimes weird things happen and the whole town goes bonkers.”
Ronno felt bad about being defensive when Urchin said it was good he was staying. “I’m sorry about that, moving isn’t actually something I’m too fond of doing, let alone talk about for too long. However, this place is really seeming great so far!” Ronno smiled at Urchin’s compliment. “You are far too kind.” He often didn’t feel he like was pretty nice or that his company was ever wanted, so this was something new.
It was as if things made so much sense now about his stay in Swnylake once he heard it from Urchin’s mouth.“Really? I guess I forgot about how some places were magick-friendly. Living in places that aren’t for so long can definitely mess with one’s head. People too? Wait... what do you mean bonkers??”

Ronno felt bad that Milo had to stay in all day whenever he was out exploring the town and his mom was at work. Today, Ronno figured he’d make it up to his dog by finally taking him out to the park. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky, which meant perfect park weather. Although, Ronno loved when it rained, so a little shower would definitely be appreciated if it were to happen and they were already there. After having some breakfast and serving Milo some kibbles. Ronno grabbed Milo’s leash and a bottle of water.
The walk to the park was fairly brisk. However, once Milo saw the fresh-cut green grass just waiting to be peed on, he immediately broke loose from Ronno’s unsuspecting grip and scurried away. “Milo no, stop, please!” The boy started to chase after Milo, who fortunately didn’t get too far away from sight. Once he passed a clearing, he was able to see Milo was right by an older man. This man must be an interesting person because Milo didn’t just sniff anybody... well, that was debatable. “Milo!” Ronno happily hugged his dog and gently moved him to his side. “I’m sorry about all that, he’s still somewhat new at the whole listening to his owner’s thing. It’s something my mom and I are working on.”

A Day at the Park | Ronno & Carl
Carl gave a slight groan as he popped a squat on the bench and set his paper to the side. Going to the park was turning out to be an almost daily occurrence, but he didn’t mind it. Being able to read his newspaper was a perfect way to start his day, and he also liked watching the people. Some of them were there every day, while others were random or new. Sometimes, when the newspaper was lacking with interesting information, Carl liked to make up the stories of passerbys. What they did with their life, if they were married or had kids.
He became lost in his own thoughts and didn’t see the big, golden dog lumbering towards him. It wasn’t until the dog started sniffing his newspaper and then his knee did Carl snap back to reality.
“Ehhh, NO!”
He snatched his newspaper from the bench and put it to the side, preparing to ignore the dog until it’s owner showed up. Instead, he found himself holding his arm out, trying to stop the dog from moving closer to his newspaper.
“Anyone missing a dog? Anyone? Someone has to be missing a dog!”

Urchin grinned at the nickname with satisfaction. Of course Ronno didn’t know it, but he’d actually tried to get the Urchie nickname going before but nobody cared, mostly because his name was already weird enough for the regular individual.
“Uh - A little bit more than a year, almost two,” he tried to recall. “More or less. Yeah! I used to live in Scotland before, though I like it better here.”
The boy tossed a fistful of raisins into his mouth and ate happily. “Swynlake’s pretty cool. Though I guess you’re not going to stay here that long, either, seeing as you’ve lived in a lot of different places before, huh? Still, before you leave you at least have to live through one crazy magical shenanigan. It’s the law of the land!”
Two could play at the nickname game. Urchie wasn’t too bad of one at all. Ronno wondered to himself if he would ever use it often. This friendly interaction almost seemed to good to be true. He hoped this all wasn’t some prank to mess with the new kid, but he had to admit that this whole meetup would be a pretty elaborate prank.
“Wow” Ronno found himself muttering aloud. His nose wrinkled at Urchin’s guess of his time here at Swnylake. He was too quick to pick up on the words than the tone of Urchin’s voice. In a somewhat defensive tone, Ronno added “Hey, I’ll have you know that my mom and I aren’t planning on leaving Swynlake... period. It’s meant to be a permanent move.” His demeanor changed from being on edge to simply in disbelief at the mention of crazy magical situation. “You must be joking. Crazy magical shenanigan?” Surely this boy was bonkers if he was talking about real magic... right? That was just something he read in fairy tales about as a young child.

Urchin pondered that. “Oh! Um, this way!” he exclaimed, hopping over to one end of the store. Really, the general store wasn’t exactly a big place. It wasn’t like the supermarkets of bigger towns, and instead felt kind of homely. Urchin thought it was a cute place.
“You can ask for your turkey and stuff over there,” he said, pointing at one end of said aisle, while he focusedo n the other. “They sell chocolate-covered raisins over here, meanwhile…”
Greedily, the curly-haired boy filled one of the tiny bags with said candy, because he loved it. “I’ll have some while I wait,” he declared, before resuming following Ronno around.
“So you’re not from here, right, Ronnie? Where did you come from? I didn’t see you until this past year or so.” This time, he was using the wrong name on purpose, as it would probably evolve into a nickname anyway.
Ronno followed the enthusiastic boy to the end of the store. Sure it wasn’t the largest grocery store out there. (Definitely, the one in Miami was the biggest one he can remember up to date. It was called Publix. The place was so big that it had a parking lot on the third or fourth floor and you needed to ride the elevator or escalator to get there.) However, Ronno would find a way to get lost in even the smallest of places if set his mind to it. If he didn’t know where he was, it was always a challenge. This meant most of his life was a challenge due to the constant moving. Fortunately, that was all to be but a part of his past.
The blonde boy went to where Urchin directed and asked for the 1/2 pound of cold cuts as per momma’s list. As the butcher prepared the delicious meats for him, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Urchin excitedly fill a bag with the chocolate covered raisins like a little kid. Ronno wished he could be as light-hearted and joyful... it really seemed like Urchin knew how to make the most of his time wherever he was.
After collecting the cold cuts, he walked back over to Urchin as they continued the grocery haul. “That’s right, I just moved not too long ago. I’m from all over. Born in Brooklyn, NY, moved to Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Denver, Miami, San Francisco and now here. My mom and I never really stayed in one place long enough for me to really grow up there. It’s like if my life was a piece of art, it would be a mosaic. A bunch of tiny pieces that somehow form one big picture.” Ronno wondered how long Urchin had resided in the British Town. “How about you Urchie? How long have you lived in Swynlake?” Ronno playfully raised his eyebrows at Urchin as he threw a nickname right back at him.

Urchin giggled at the other’s question. “Not really, dynamism is present in most styles. It’s sort of… having movement in your characters, you know? Making it feel like they have a life of their own and aren’t just standing around.”
He hopped off the sidewalk edge after feeling like he was about to topple over, and then stepped back next to Ronno. “Were you goign to carry all of that home by yourself?!” he asked, surprised. “See? You needed me and didn’t even know it.”
Ronno really goofed up what dynamism meant based on Urchin’s explanation. “Oh ok I get it now... I think.” Ronno still was unsure of the idea of dynamism but wasn’t determined to talk about for the rest of the day. If anything, he could always ask Urchin about it at another time.
Urchin made a good point about his help carrying the groceries home. Ronno honestly admitted “I didn’t really think of it. I work out enough to not get winded walking home with a few bags in each hand. Going all the way back to my home would be a bit of a hassle... but it’d be my hassle. It’s not like I haven’t had to work hard before.” Ronno quickly added, with a small yet genuine grin, “Don’t get me wrong though, I do appreciate the help. It’s just pretty new for me.”
Not trying to make the grocery trip a mushy trip of emotions, Ronno cleared his throat “Mmhmm...So... which aisle would you like to go to first then?”

Urchin didn’t even wait for the invitation to start walking next to Ronno. He knew where the store was, so he started moving in that direction immediately.
“Well, I’m not going to finish it anyway,” he quickly admitted, “but thanks! It’s just an exercise. I have to draw poses really quickly to get a feeling for dynamism. As I do them, my actual drawings start looking more alive, more quickly.”
The boy balanced himself on the edge of the sidewalk as if he were walking a tight rope. “I’ve seen you in school. Sorry I forgot your name earlier, though. I’m not great at them!”
As they walked side by side, Ronno should have known that Urchin knew the way better than him. Ronno was fairly new to Swynlake after all. Looks like he didn’t need the directions on his phone any longer as he walked in tandem with Urchin.
“Oh okay. That sounds cool.” Ronno was no artist, so the big words like dynamism went through his head. “So is dynamism like the art style you’re trying to get good at? How many poses does it usually take until they look realistic?”
Ronno walked close on the side of the sidewalk in case Urchin happened to teeter to one side and would need a hand before tripping. “I’m pretty new but I’ve seen you around the school halls too.” He briefly added “It’s alright, I guess I’m also pretty bad at names. Haven’t really needed to learn too many in the past.”
The store finally came into view. “There it is.” Ronno looked to the list and repeated the items out loud. “Two dozen eggs, a bag of Rye bread, Mayo, Two Litres of Reduced Fat Milk, Captain Crunch Mixed Berries, a carton of OJ, Whey Protein, a small bag of Kibbles and Bits: Lamb Mix, 1/2 pound of turkey, ham, and chicken cold cuts and a box of Digiornos... the pizza style is my choice! Easy enough...”

Urchin considered his options. He could stay there and keep doing his thing, or he could go and invite himself into this person’s grocery shopping trip. Did it sound exciting? Nope. But hey, Urchin was pretty good at making boring things fun most of the time!
“Fine,” he declared. “I’m coming!” And with that, he closed his sketchbook and stood up, grinning at Ronno. “I guess I can help you carry your stuff back. Besides, it’s better than going alone.” Sure, he didn’t ask, but assumed the other wouldn’t mind. They were, after all, barely-known acquaintances from school.
Ronno was not expecting Urchin’s speedy reaction to the news of his going to the grocery store. Grocery shopping must be one of the most boring things to do in existence yet he seemed pretty keen on tagging along. This was the first time anyone ever invited themselves to go anywhere with Ronno. It was a lot to take in all at once. “You’re what?”
He couldn’t believe his eyes as Urchin packed up his things in lieu of this new adventure. Instead of taking a day to ponder over whether to let him or not, he just decided to roll with it. Still, in some awe by the whole situation, Ronno uttered: “I mean... if you’d like.” He wouldn’t have minded going alone, that was the original plan. Yet, he somehow didn’t mind the company. One thing for sure, it would definitely be eventful. As he started leading the way, he curiously commented “That drawing you were doing looked like it was coming along pretty nicely. It was of the old lady from back down the street right?”

“It’s just Urchin,” the boy replied, copying Ronno’s tone as he did, and snickered. He put down the pencil once his thirty seconds were up and looked at the pose. It wasn’t the best.
“You’re too stiff,” he declared, frowning at the drawing. “Uh, I’m just… working on my poses,” Urchin explained.
“What’s up with you? Going somewhere fun?” Was it Urchin’s business at all? Definitely not. Did he usually attempt to tag along when people were going to do fun things in town? Definitely.
Ronno rolled his eyes when Urchin mocked his tone while explaining his name. He didn’t understand what was so funny about his own name. Ronno briefly checked his phone to see the time and sighed in relief at the large amount he still had before his mother came home. Out of curiosity, Ronno side-eyed the piece Urchin was working on. While it was no Da Vinci, it looked nice enough. Stiff? Poses? Ronno didn’t really know what to say and was confused as to what direction the conversation was going.
While Ronno was debating whether to just leave and let Urchin continue his artwork without any further interruption, Urchin asked where he was going. Ronno revealed the shopping list still in his right hand and smirked. “I wouldn’t really call the grocery store that fun but that’s where I’m going before it gets dark.”

Ronno didn’t mind helping his mom out with the groceries. Her shift at the hospital wasn’t always too flexible considering the demands of being a nurse. She was needed for the vast majority of the day, usually up to twelve at most if it was a really busy day. Thus, Ronno wanted to make her return home as easy as possible. He was considerate with her like that.
After feeding Milo, his golden retriever puppy, some of his favorite kibble, Ronno headed out to Main Street to pick up some groceries. Fortunately, Ronno’s mom wrote down a list of what to get from the night before. List in hand, Ronno started walking to the grocery store. Ronno tried his best to ignore every head that turned towards him as he headed on his mission as he was prone to losing focus. A loud voice out of nowhere seemed to call him over. This startled the boy and his eyebrows raised in confusion and intrigue.
Last he checked, his name was Ronno and he didn’t remember anyone ever giving him a nickname in school yet. Looking in the direction of the voice, he quickly glanced over at a boy similar in age. Ronno stated in a matter of fact and brazen tone “It’s just Ronno.”
Wait, he seemed vaguely familiar. He had definitely seen him from school before. Those curly black locks were one of a kind. Ronno couldn’t recall the boy’s first name but his last name seemed to stick. “You’re Owens, right? What’s up?”

Urchin wasn’t the most dedicated fellow usually. He wasn’t known in school for his great grades or discipline, and he was rather average when it came to any of those things. He wasn’t good at remembering his own chores at home, and often got told on by the other kids.
If there was one thing he had been constant with, though, it was his art practice. Because, ever since he’d started studying under Mr. Bonfamille (he called him Lou in his head, though their relationship wasn’t at a point where he’d say it out loud) Urchin had become more constant so as to not fail his mentor.
Once every day, he sat around Main Street and did quick figure drawings. He observed a particular person and timed himself to draw their pose and movement in under thirty seconds. It’d helped him with dynamism so far, so he’d kept it up.
After finishing drawing the pose of an elderly woman who was just sitting on a bench across the street, though, his eyes focused on someone familiar. It was some kid from school whose name he thought he remembered.
“Hey, Ronnie!” Urchin exclaimed out loud, using a name that wasn’t quite right, before getting to work and trying to put his pose down on paper before his thirty seconds were up.
