Axel Jandad

A foreign exchange student. From France! He's still getting used to speaking, but he's pretty good. He's got messy blond-brown hair and surely muscles under those jackets he never seems to take off - if this was a romance, he would be the love interest.

Ella Weider

A star athlete, through and through. She's tall, towering over most of the boys in your class. HAGAY is a little small to have its own sports teams, unfortunately, so she does all of that outside of school. It's almost impossible to organise stuff with her. She's constantly busy.

Emma Tailler

Possibly the best pianist anyone will ever meet. Reliable and kind, she's a bit of a go to if you ever need anything. If there's anything the whole class has in common, it's that everyone is friends with Emma.

Herbert Baker

Shows up to class maybe once a week and still manages to do better than you on every exam. One of the many mysteries of life is how he hasn't been kicked out yet. HAGAY must be all about results, it seems.

Jackson Burgess

No one's really sure how he's in the school. Out of everyone, he's the most average. His grades are just okay, his family isn't particularly rich. The accepted conclusion is that he does well on tuition exams by luck.

Larissa Woods

If a brick wall was ever turned into a woman, that would be Larissa. Talking to her is drier than the Sahara desert. Somehow, she manages to have friends. Just two, though.

Mina Mason

An art prodigy. Her family is one of the least wealthy in the class, and it's thanks to her talent and work ethic that allow her to continue to study at HAGAY. She's known to become a shut-in during the build-up to tuition exams.

Mook Genera

A doormat. He tends to fade into the background, even though he's one of the best students in the class. It isn't like he's boring, he just lacks presence. Majorly.

Morgan Weld

Not a single photo of him exists where he wears anything other than black. His hair, his eyes, they're all black too. It's rumoured that his natural hair colour is ginger, but no one can prove it.

Neu Ronald

A pretentious prick. Annoyingly, he's not wrong. That doesn't make him any less unlikeable. It's said that he doesn't need glasses and only wears them to look smart.

Porche Pinkerton

Planned to transfer in at the beginning of junior year. The daughter of a pair of well known musicians and known for being stuck up and little else. In terms of academics? Who knows.

Sebastian Roth

Another musical talent, a man of many mysteries as well as many instruments. There isn't really any way to describe him other than 'emo'. He hardly ever talks to anyone except for Seth.

Seth Wall

A friendly (but short) boy. He's pretty middle of the road, but as of late he's began to really try and pick up his grades. No one's really sure what caused the change.

Samuel Funker

The resident crackhead.

Yam Lee

The outsider of the class. Not because people don't like her, but she just isolates herself. Her father is the CEO of a technology company, which is just as well, because her grades have been steadily declining ever since freshman year.

The Mystery Brain

Name: James León (León Rivers)

Appearance: 5'9, right about average build- not particularly athletic. Always-messy dark hair. Wears flannels over t-shirts and jeans most of the time. Always smiling.

Personality: Laid-back most of the time, gets extremely worked up and passionate about writing and mysteries. Hides anxiety about his writing by constantly using excuses. He’s confident about everything else, though, and always takes the initiative.

Backstory: While James’s closest relatives have nothing to do with crime, the León family certainly has its roots in the drug cartels of Mexico. Thankfully, James grew up under the perfect influence of his parents, María and Juan León. The two lovers, determined to leave the family history behind, abandoned the high-stakes life of their ancestors and moved to the United States. They... may have taken some money with them, though. The two worked as lawyers and continued saving, eventually having James.

James Juan León was born on November 2nd, 2003. His parents raised him like any other couple: with lots of love and high expectations. But, James had other ideas. He decided (in secret!) to write his own crime and mystery novels, enchanted by the stories his grandmother would tell him over the phone. James took on the pen name of León Rivers and wrote a fiery hit novel Dawn Enchanter, a mystery novel based on the past escapades of the León family. The out-of-nowhere success of a previously-unknown author dazzled the mystery fiction community. They eagerly called for more León Rivers, more of the exciting tension and complex mindgames.

James... couldn’t deliver. He wrote two more books, but both failed spectacularly. “Not enough soul,” “too cliché,” “pandering garbage," the critics said. His mechanics were there. His heart was not.

Eventually, his family moved to Cape Cove after his parents were offered jobs as legal consultants. James looked around for the best school to help him improve his skills. He contacted HAGAY, revealed his identity, arranged a payment method, and took the test. He scored well enough- fantastic on literature, English, and history, but only passable in the sciences. It was enough. He was in- unbeknownst to his parents.
