Definitely a contender! I'll put her in the poll.

Hmmm. She's very likable. Seems like she might be less likely to be picked seeing as she is likable, though.

Ok I watched all of her videos. First off to me shes too breeish so it would in turn be just a second bree not a new charicter.

In the first one she flashed somthing about a school motto that said "diligo est lex, diligo sub mos" . I tried doing a little research in to this and all I came up with was more latin jibberish. Does any one know what this means? oh and in my research i got directed to a few site that referenced this Alister Crowley but they were all in latin too. So I'm lost.

I liked this one a lot. A whole lot, actually. Good actor, and she's comfortable in front of the camera. Didn't really seem like she was acting. It was quite natural.

I'd totally be cool with her being the New Girl. She's got similarities to Bree, but she still seems like a very different person.


One thing I will say, though, is this: What's with all these girls having fucked up bitches for mothers? "You can't go out with boys because it violates our beliefs"? What does that make her? Jesus.

OK, I'm going off my mass latin and my knowledge of the romance languages. I'm coming up with "Love is rare , Hold your morals dear." ...maybe...?

I got something like 'value highly the law, value highly under will', but that's from an online translator. It's never good to place faith on those pieces of junk! I will ask my friend tonight - he actually speaks Latin.

It's hard to say what it is, because in Latin, there are marks over some (usually only) vowels called macrons, much like the spanish mark over the n. It changes the pronuncation, and in some cases, the word meaning. For example, hic means 'this', but the same word with a macron over the i means 'here'. I'm no genius in latin, but I do have my textbook from class, and about 2 semesters of knowledge.
What I got from this (I love is law, I love under custom) doesn't really make any sense. So, my advice, someone ask her what it means, cause I got nothing :-p

Also, we don't know if this is Latin or Latin Vulgate. If it's the vulgate, we have a problem with clouded meaning. It only has 500 words in it's vocabulary. That leads to huge confusion out of context.

My take is "Love is rare , Hold your morals dear."

I was thinking about this quote while I was watching the most recent "flowersonmyhat" video, and I agree that many of these Hymn of One mothers seem fanatically Puritan. And I can see the similarities to the Bree storyline, but I think this girl is different enough that she can distinguish herself as a new and different character if she were to become canon. For example, she was enthusiastic about going to the banquet with Jake because she's attracted to him. Bree hasn't confessed an infatuation toward any boy.
