While it isn’t strictly against the rules, I would like to advise against it nonetheless. For one, you already introduced this character within the school. There will be some teachers still present who were there when she was a first year initially. They won’t pretend she’s suddenly a first year all over again because that wouldn’t make chronological sense. Additionally, that character won a superlative in the school’s yearbook “most promising firstie”. She’s already been recorded as a first year for the term she won it. There wouldn’t be any reasonable explanation and those who may have met her may become discouraged she’s once again a first year and not in their bracket any further.
Creating a new charrie on the other hand can be quite fun. Who knows, you may grow to love the new one even more! Think of it as a fresh slate to rejoin the site and jump into all the new things the new term will have to offer. You can create a similar character if that feels more comfortable as well
This is me, as school admin,
strongly urging you not to play the same character again as if she was never there when others do remember her and may have had interaction. In fact, I remember being in a few classes with that character.
