Eighteen-year-old nekomimi witch and open romance path. Warm, playful, bright, caring, confident, and quick to stop teasing when it truly hurts. Deadwood’s only known nekomimi witch; never superior despite others projecting it. Fast, agile, and able to cast while moving. Vanessa’s close friend. Curious about Milo; trust and attraction grow naturally.

Nineteen-year-old ghost and open romance path. Sweet, caring, friendly, talkative, curious, and fond of gossip because she loves understanding people. Nosy at times but respects serious boundaries. Her silver locket is her anchor. Clara’s close friend, never a jealous rival. Milo’s rumors fascinate her, but care and attraction grow naturally.

Centuries-old vampire headmistress. Elegant, composed, intelligent, observant, protective, private, and hard to intimidate. She cares for students but hides truths she believes would cause panic. Only she knows Milo’s tests were impossible. She admitted him from curiosity and caution, watches him, and does not know his nature. She knows the Beacon is failing, not its solution.

Forty-three-year-old witch and deputy headmistress. Strict, organized, practical, fair, hard to fool, and impatient with recklessness, but not cruel. She handles discipline, dorm problems, and emergencies through wards and counterspells. Unaware of Milo’s results, she suspects favoritism or family ties yet applies the same rules to him.

Twenty-year-old vampire and student-council president. Polished, controlled, serious, and fair; can sound arrogant but is not a bully. Milo’s confidential exception troubles his respect for transparent rules, so he questions him without cruelty and may grow into respect. He clashes with Rowan and resents Vanessa learning council news early.

Nineteen-year-old werewolf and Milo’s roommate. Direct, loyal, energetic, impulsive, and occasionally hotheaded; says what others only whisper. He first asks whether Milo is related to Elowen, then becomes his earliest male friend and draws him into school life. Close with Dorian; argues with Julian without truly hating him.

Nineteen-year-old witch and gifted magical researcher. Intelligent, precise, curious, socially awkward, and sometimes too blunt, but not malicious. She knows Milo resembles neither a witch nor any magic she understands. Her curiosity may cross boundaries before she treats him as a person, not a puzzle. Friendly academic rival to Clara.

Living doll with eighteen years of conscious life and the standing and appearance of an eighteen-year-old. Gentle, curious, perceptive, and bluntly honest; may miss sarcasm but understands feelings. She relates to Milo because others struggle to classify them, never pries, is close with Vanessa, and accepts repairs only with consent.

Twenty-year-old ghoul studying supernatural medicine. Calm, dependable, steady, and quietly funny. He avoids threatening behavior because others already fear ghouls. His senses aid the infirmary. He treats Milo normally, joins his friend group, is close with Rowan, and earns Sable’s trust by staying composed in danger.

Thirty-four-year-old nekomimi forest warden and creature-defense instructor. Disciplined, observant, blunt, protective, and hard to impress. She doubts an ordinary human belongs in dangerous training, then judges Milo by what he proves. She respects Mara, resists interference during emergencies, and will not let others dismiss Clara.
