Name:
Lovedaia “Lufu” Marden
Gender:
Female
Age:
16 (this is her fourth year at the Academy since she started when she was twelve)
Personality:
Lovedaia is often seen as a naïve girl. She is selfish, petulant, innocent, and all that is associated with naivety except her streak of manipulation. While Lovedaia has a childlike opinion on most things, is prone to unpredictable bursts of randomness, and does what she wants, she will go to great lengths to fool people into getting what she wants. Lovedaia doesn’t see as what she is doing, when manipulating people, as bad, but as a means to an end. Amongst her qualities, Lovedaia is also ignorant. She doesn’t understand the sufferings of the world, having a sheltered life, and believes everyone should be as happy and optimistic as she is. Many believe she is not “all there” because surely one of her age cannot be this unaware. However, her innocence might just be a cold, hard mask to hide the face of an empty, bored young woman.
Abilities: While poor at magic, Lovedaia is excellent at studying and has a great memory.
Studying: Pythomancy and poetry because she either doesn't have the control for a certain branch or no interest in the branch
Interests: Animals, adventure, poetry, magic,
Dislikes: Tactlessness, stupidity, living a normal life
Biography:
Lovedaia is the daughter of a wealthy blacksmith and a innkeeper at Gralimidine though her parents are now retired and have moved to a different city.
Ever since Lovedaia was little, she was obsessed with magic. She kept waiting, with bated breath, for when she would discover her own wonderful magical abilities. When her mother tried to teach her privileged daughter the art of inn keeping, Lovedaia would simply ignore her and butcher her small duties. To instill responsibility, her father attempted to push her to help him clean his tools, she would simply run away until he gave up. Her life was amazing, normal, privileged. She didn’t have a care in the world. Her parents kept her away from the streets, and urged her to stay only near home. Growing up, she only had a few friends, ones made quickly as they passed through the inn, until they left and she forgot them. Lovedaia grew to hate her life; it was dull, boring, and predictable whereas she was lively, talkative, and unpredictable. This life didn’t suit her.

So, when she discovered the tiniest spark of magic beneath her fingertips, she was ecstatic. She had been avoiding her chores, hiding in the attic of the inn and playing around with the old framed portraits that her mother abhorred. Whilst picking up a heavy frame with two hands, she tried to grab her ink well with the other to avoid tipping it. Unable to do so at the same time, she breathed angrily in exasperation and slapped the portrait onto the floor, her fingers splaying in the air like knives. With this frustration, came an electric jolt down her knuckles and the ink well lifted the barest fraction into the air, long enough for her to catch a glimpse of it, before it toppled over onto a painting of a fat old guy with balding hair.

Immediately, she jumped into the air and tumbled down the stairs, shouting for joy with such exuberance that her parents neglected their admonishments. After that, she was sent to the Academy to study to her heart’s content. It was only there that she realized her magic skill was quite shabby and that no matter how hard she tried, she could barely do a thing.
Equipment:

Extra Information: She can’t sit still

Name: Danny Finks

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Personality: Danny is a calm and collected individual, the person who watches from the sidelines until he feels the need to step in. Due to past experiences, he has a weak mind which is easy to shatter, but has a good understanding of his limits. He is constantly monitoring his mental stability and avoids any unnecessary tasks. To sum it up, his cerebral resources are scarce and must be used to only certain extents. He doesn’t have the best reflexes, and is most definitely not physically strong by any means, but he makes up for it by his abilities in comprehension. Though he can’t think too deeply into matters, he can analyze a situation when it presents itself to him. Also, he feels the need to repay those who nursed him back to health, he unknowingly became interested in medicine and other forms of healing.

Abilities: Danny specializes in both clairvoyance and mind-reading, but because of his past experiences with his abilities, he refuses to use the latter unless it is truly needed. Upon the discovery of his capabilities at a young age, he has been training to hone his skills. His ability to read one’s mind was so structured, that the noble which took him in was able to employ the child. Currently, he mainly studies spells to improve his magic with clairvoyance, and tends to stray into telepathy. Though, with the amount of time he has put into his main abilities, adopting a third skill proves a challenge to him. He has a mental ward which denies access from most above average insorcerers, but those who have been training in the art for years find it easy to bypass it. It’s not as if he has anything confidential or important locked up inside of his head, the ward serves as a warning to protect those who might wander into his mind. The memories and feelings he experienced when his abilities caused his mind to short-circuit, would uncontrollably flow into the trespasser.

Either than his studies in magic, he’s a surprisingly decent cook, taught by the elite chefs which worked in the castle he used to serve in. He has also been studying medicine and herbal remedies in his spare time.

Studying: Insorcery, Art (Painting/Sketching) and dabbles in Pythomancy.

Interests:

Coffee

Medicine

Calm individuals

Dislikes:

People who overreact or wish to not accept reality

Sweet food and beverages

Unneeded assignments

Riddles

Biography: Danny was the only child of a family which lived in a secluded village, renowned for its high export rate of wood used to craft wands, staffs and other utilities used by the diversified world of magic. Ironically, those who possessed the ability to wield these tools were rare within the town. The whole area was governed by a noble whose homage was located in the center of the community. A majority of the income went to his reserve, which was dumped into whatever project he saw fit. He wasn’t a ruthless tyrant, nor was he an almsgiver. The villagers seemed to have always been on the fence, but rather than falling to either side, they were able to balance perfectly on it. Because the villagers never really voiced their opinions and ideas for the community, this lifestyle continued as per the usual.

One morning, Danny’s father just up and vanished. He didn’t know much of his father, as he was always at work to support the family, and didn’t come home until Danny was fast asleep.
The man did not leave a goodbye note or anything for the boy, yet his mother wasn’t surprised by the turn of events. For some odd reason the boy could not deduce, she wasn’t saddened by her husband’s departure, and already had an ultimatum thoroughly planned out. Both Danny and his mother were employed as servants within the noble’s castle. Even though there was no pay, it meant that they would have a roof over their, food to eat and a place to call home. His mother was always tasked with cleaning and upkeep of the noble’s and his family’s clothing, meanwhile the boy was a young waiter who served food to guests.

After two years of service to the family, Danny’s mother passed away while she was in the middle of cleaning the windows. A maid had found her body leaning against the pane, her mouth was agape and she had a blank expression painted on her face. Her hands were clenching her chest; with this fact, the family’s personal doctor deduced it was cardiac arrest, but was unable to determine the cause of it. Now the boy, at the age of twelve, was truly alone in this world. He still served as a waiter to the noble, since he had no other way of going about his life. Within a few weeks, Danny began to experience unexplainable phenomenon. He began to hear the thoughts of those in his general vicinity, though they were choppy and unclear at times. To a youngster such as him, he believed some form of monster was wreaking havoc upon his mind, and he quickly pleaded for the doctor to help him. The man specialized in alchemy and was one of the town’s few magicians, he was the only person who could explain it to the child. At first, he believed that the boy was going insane or that something had snapped within his brain. But after multiple tests, which consisted of Danny verbally repeating whatever popped into the doctor’s head, it was concluded that he had some abilities in the art of insorcery. At his current state, his abilities were uncontrollable and would occur at random moments. The doctor provided the boy with parchments to study, which he divulged a lot of time doing so. It wasn’t long until the noble found an even more profitable use for the boy than having him as a young waiter.

After spending months of balancing training and serving, the noble offered a new job which would give Danny more time with the former. By this time, the boy was able to listen into complete thoughts, if he was able to complete the correct movements and cantations. The noble who governed the village had meetings with companies and traders on a daily basis, those who wished to purchase the valuable resources of the land. Danny was able to fulfill his task during meetings, under the lie that he was the noble’s “adopted” son. To the buyers, he just appeared as a child playing around with a toy wand, muttering under his breath. The boy’s job was to determine the buyer’s base price for the resources he was intending to purchase, then he would inform the noble so that he may determine a more negotiable and profitable price. This continued on for two years straight, it became the daily grind for the young magician. As time went on, the boy began to feel sick and strained, yet the man just told him to shake it off.

After the noble closed up the last meeting of the day, he decided to allow Danny to dine with his family. As he was about to bring up the subject, he noticed the boy was hunched over in his chair, his hand was tightly covering his left eye. The child was breathing heavily, beads of sweat trailed down his face. The noble grabbed the boy’s arm and yanked it away from his face to get a complete look, he then reeled back in surprise. The eye was completely discolored, tears were streaming from it. The boy let out a ear-shattering shriek then passed out, the noble personally rushed him to the doctor’s quarters. After half a week of slumber, Danny finally awoke, he groaned out of pain and tried to focus his lone eye. Before him was a beak jutting into his line of sight, accompanied by white feathers and a pair of round beady eyes. The bird was small, roughly the size of his stomach. Its layers of feathers were pure white, a small orange beak protruded from its face. Surrounding him were four individuals, draped in cloaks of extraordinary colors. After sorting out his current matters, Danny was informed that he would be attending a famous school which teaches and trains many magicians, known as Adeline Academy.

Equipment:

“Eve” - The Caladrius: A caladrius is a bird completely covered in snow-white feathers, without a single discoloration, the creature is entirely pure. Usually kept in kings’ castles, the bird possesses the ability to determine whether a patient’s chances of making a full recovery. If a patient will not completely recuperate, then it turns its gaze away, refusing to even glance at the sickly individual. Unfortunately, because of the bird’s ability, Danny has been instructed by the nurses to not bring Eve into the Hall of Healing. Even though the caladrius has healing capabilities, the mere sight of the avian can shock a patient, in fear that it will refuse to look at them.

Magnifying Glasses - Danny’s lone working eye has a hard time focusing, and requires magnifying glasses to read parchments in small print. To those who are not used to him, his appearance looks off at first glance, as the left lense is completely unused. When they are not assisting with his poor eyesight, the pair of glasses hang from the neck of his shirt

Extra Information:

Even though Pythomancy is technically a main course of his, he didn’t exactly choose it. Because he is the owner of such a rare and pure creature, the course was forced upon him, in the case that he may need the knowledge the class provides.

Since academics transition over to living quarters and delicacies, Danny has slightly above average grades, so he has a moderately good space to rest and recuperate. With the amount of endowment he is given by the academy, he is able to purchase basic grade ingredients. But with his knowledge, he is able to scrounge up something more desirable than the standard meals which the majority of students can throw together. Excluding cooking supplies, he spends his money wisely, mostly on apparel and items for school. He also receives extra money from his former lord, as a way of repaying Danny for his services.
