Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Raffaella's Ultimate Platonic Hug Tier List

S Tier

Tessa Vellhart
"Watch out everyone, cold take incoming! Our Mentor is the best! ...Shut up! I'm not biased!"

Anastasia Aslan
"Makes you feel super warm and safe! A Gifted hug maestro!"

Lhoren Faith Ashdale
"Big sister energy! Need I say more?"

A Tier

Emmelynne 'Melle' Starbuck
"A super chill girl with unrivaled coziness! Very easygoing and fluffy, can do small talk or just vibe! Very versatile!"

Sylvia Copeland
"A cat is fine too? Excuse me, a cat is fine? A cat is purrfect, hello?! Watch those claws, though!"

Lisa Goldheart
"For those craving a soft-but-strong safety hug, Lisa's the best! She's also really warm, too!"

Leah Eusebia Clearwater
"Imagine being able to hug someone from fifty feet away! Wow! She's also super strong! Big safety points!"

Fasha Sumbul
"Strokes my hair like a villainess. Not sure how I feel about that, but she does have this nice, calming scent!"

B Tier

Raffaella Struna
"Very fluffy and smol, but to be honest, low availability has to put me down in B Tier. Really hard to find during a 100% All Hugs Speedrun."

Primrose Greenleigh
"Great earthy smell, friendly, and gives headpats! Hands are a bit rough though, and the gardening tools get in the way a little."

Corrina Lucretia Parisi-Di Cosma Marchesi
"Gives the tightest hugs. Metal hands are a little cold. Get yourself a blanket and prepare to get snug!"

Lucius Kree
"Very tall, gives wholesome gay best friend vibes. I don't like being picked up, myself, but your mileage may vary!"

C Tier

Kaspaan Mustaven
"Sorry boss! I just get really cold after a while!"

Beatrix Gyre
"I love the positive energy, but my hair has a different opinion on the matter. Don't get shocked!"

Petyr Nostradé
"Gives acceptable hugs, but you become a target of everyone's jealousy afterwards. Not enough positive points for the cost. Sorry!"

Manny Ryi
"Generous with hugs, but will hug you regardless of what form she's in. Some hugs will be fluffy. Some might be... sticky. I'll never forget."

D Tier / Unranked

Myrion Stevar
"I feel like hugs aren't really his thing. He always seems so tired. I dunno, hard to rank. Never tried it!"

Ezekiel Seganal
"This one also needs peer review. Hugging them seems like a bad idea; but I'm too shy to ask, anyway!"

F Tier / Unranked

Taegan “Tae” Granlock
"Declined a hug, wouldn't say why. Probably heard me called 'RiffRaff' once. Your loss!"

Walter Ozwyrd
"Can you believe the nerve of this man?! Charging money for hugs?! It's outrageous, a scandal! Free hug gang, rise up against this tyranny!"

"Reconnaissance complete, boss! Here are the results! ...Hey, this info is really important to me, okay?!"

@Emeth

Imagine being relegated to B-tier. She can control her own strength and it's not full-metal all the time lmao. Though I think we can all agree Ana for sure is most likely to give the most primo hugs.

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Now we need a tier list chart for who gives the best hugs

@vietmyke

Corrine has metal arms for maximum hugging power, but can also probably artifice herself an extra set of arms for 200% power

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>

Good to hear Corrine and Lisa avoid bruising each other's faces whenever they spar! Can't imagine being hit on the face with metal knuckles would be good for an up and coming Noble's reputation lmao

@Frettzo

Honestly it's a lot more for Corrine's benefit considering Lisa's got a bit more power in her punches lmao. Though getting hit by a metal hand probably doesn't feel very good at all.

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Something a little more concise and with links to actual character sheets now. I'll be putting this in at the bottom of Corrine's CS. It's meant to be more in character than the last chart, so a little less memeing about with it lol.

Corrine Relations Chart

Anastasia: Healer from Harold and the Illuminaire. Has had a few run-ins with her mostly due to her own accident-prone nature, so her reputation is completely transparent with her. Unsure if she's actually okay with being called Ana, but is certain she would much prefer she doesn't spend several days out of the week in the infirmary despite her protests that it's not just to visit her. Or as insisted: "I would like to insist strongly that I am not doing this on purpose. I actually do not like getting chewed on by things or for my work to literally blow up in my face." Overall pretty keen on the ginger, thinks she's a warm person and reliable.

Walter: A curiousity due to his gift of Alchemy, but as a first year she doesn't know too much about him. Apparently can be a bit opportunistic, but to her so are a lot of mystics.

Melle: Upperclassmen and someone she looked up to in her first couple years at the Academy due to sharing the same house. Feels that she's still a very reliable person despite her more recent lack of drive, just that maybe the high intensity burned her out. Has a gupoo named Sparey Airy and she's sent a few offers of letting their gupoos play together. Is on the short list for people to match with for team-games due to the potential versatility of her hammerspace.

Petyr: Fairly mysterious fourth year of her house, not quite certain of his motivations or how to really read him. Only thing she can be sure of is his interest in Waaga that she does not share, knowing that he's on their house's team and seems to be a little more driven during those activities. Despite that he's never come across as unreliable, even of late with his new friends.

Myrion: Illuminaire with Eusebia and a fellow Gupoo friend with one named Albondiga. Has a reputation for being quite reliable and hard-working, and she can tell he's not like most of the other students from the cities and a little more down to earth, or at least wasn't raised in opulence like some people. She's been cautioned about putting him on her list for team-games, but she feels the utility of his power drastically outweighs any potential danger. Has also sent a few offers to him for gupoo playdates.

Leah: Highest potential synergy of gifts on her list and one of the only ones she's noted for duos. Has a certain intensity about her but she's rather indifferent to it and regularly offers to spar with her both in combat classes and outside of them. Probably one of the most reliable classmates she can think of.

Primrose: Another unknown quantity, though this time due to the rather severe differences in their chosen fields. Has a Gupoo named Goo though, and despite the divide between their mindsets, has offered for their Gupoos to play together. Overall while she doesn't quite understand her, she knows that Primrose is quite knowledgeable when it comes to herbology and ecological fields and can be relied upon in instances where such is necessary.

Lisa: Another person for the team-games list due to her raw physical ability and her gift. She seems incredibly motivated but only towards things in her interest and can be questionably reliable. Overall the least arrogant noble at the Academy that she's met so far and thinks they could get along well, and while she's up for a spar any time, doesn't exactly look forward to being put on her back on the mats. Has emphatically insisted to avoid her face.

Fasha: Illuminaire and supposedly an incredibly reliable and likeable person, quite a few others profess just as much to her, but can't help but notice a strangeness about her. Hasn't actually had any run-ins directly with her as of yet, but notices a rather pleasant scent that lingers about her at all time and has felt noticeably relaxed in her presence. Someone to be careful around for sure.

Kaspaan: While he seems to be a bit too energetic for her and others, can be pretty chill at times. Sometimes has a bit of a frosty demeanor, and occasionally a little glacial in getting to where he needs to go, but feels he's reliable when necessary.

Lhoren: Seems pretty nice and kind to everyone around her, but has noticed that the girl's gift has unintended consequences like most telepaths. Has to be quite conscious of her thoughts around her which can be draining, and while she feels that she could really use a hug at times, is unsure if it would be wise considering her rather rough memories.

Raff: Another of the first years, and someone else with telepath powers to be careful about, but also so far seeming fairly sweet. Could most definitely use a hug and she's always sure to keep a few candies about for her just in case. Has a gupoo named Pooka that she's attempted to introduce Mr Puff to. Feels a bit of kinship towards her, but isn't entirely sure why.

Sylvia: Second year and a bit catty, but feels there's some similarities between them and understands the difficulty of having a gift not quite fully under control yet. Over all doesn't think she's a bad person, just a little adventurous and eerily quiet. Has snuck up on her more than once and nearly scared the bolts off her. Does wonder if she likes ear scritches like a cait...

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

I have awoken to another batch of accepted characters, only a dozen posts since passing out and the initial sketches of Corrine from art friendo. Also need to update Corrine's friend list thing for new characters since it's been a couple days lmao.

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Okay, so I worked out a quick and dirty background to pass the muster(I hope) and will work on expanding it later with some more indepth story pieces as I get to them. Also yes, did a little bit of world-building lmao.

Corrine

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

<Snipped quote by Shovel>

Now we all know who to turn to when we need an extra hand!

@Ti

>But not the girl with all the artificial hands

How quickly Corrine and her metal hands are forgotten lmao.

I have a question. What would happen if two CS are made and both have the same or similar magic?

@McKennaJ71

I don't think there's anything outright that actually prohibits such a thing, I mean it's an academy with a thousand students, there's bound to be a little overlap. Personally, I think it would be down to what the power is and who you may potentially be overlapping with. But that's just me. The person with the incomplete CS staring at a deadline four days from now. That I will totally get in under... I hope lmao.

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Another gupoo friend for the list.

@vietmyke

THEY'RE RATED E FOR EVERYONE

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>
Too late. It has been immortalized. >:)

@Emeth

Someone's gonna catch these hands >:(

No, Corrine is absolutely not above the gag of physically throwing a hand at someone or popping off an arm when shaking hands.
