Orange Studios

Founder: Eloise Saint Vidal & Perrette Monet

Prefets: TBA

Club History
Known for being home to the odder, dreamier residents of Beauxbatons, Orange was the final of the three communatés to be created. Tired of being excluded from Charlemagne and not quite fitting in with Renault, co-founders Eloise Saint Vidal and Perrette Monet decided they would take matters into their own hands by gathering their classmates who felt similarly and create their own, unique communaté.

It took a year and a half of lobbying to the school for them to become officially recognised, but the formal induction of the communaté occurred in 1828, at the beginning of the girls' sixth year of schooling. They were the first official Orange préfets, and worked with the school directly to organise the Orange commons and accommodations, and decided to call it the Studios for their desire to nurture a creative environment for the residents of Orange.

Far from exclusive, there is really only one requirement to be admitted to Orange: be passionate about something. Anything, be it painting, drawing, writing, reading, or performing.

Traditions
It is not uncommon to hear Orange natives referring to their fellow Orange residents as mes amis, which over time has developed into an informal term for the residents of this communaté. Outsiders and insiders alike refer to them as les amis for their communaté-wide camaraderie, which is one of the most important aspects of being an ami, and is written in their three Commandments.

Les Trois Commandements de la Communaté d'Orange:

 * Travailler fort et s'amuser beaucoup - Work hard, play hard
 * Aimer tes amis - Love your friends
 * ...et le faire avec passion! - ... and do so with passion!
