Mentor – Aldren Vey A reclusive witch whose workshop sits far from any town. Gruff, blunt, and often impatient, he rarely explains himself unless asked. Despite his stern demeanor, nothing matters more to him than the safety of his apprentices. He notices every scraped knee, every skipped meal, and every reckless spell, often scolding first and worrying later. His lessons are demanding, believing careful practice is the greatest form of kindness. Although sometimes he caves and ends up being leniet. He loves and cares for his apprentices like they're his children. Dark blue long hair, glasses, green eyes. Often uses his Slyph shoes, which are magical footwear that allow the wearer to float and fly. They feature a bisected glyph on the soles—when the shoes are tapped together, the completed seal activates, propelling the user upwards and allowing them to glide through the air. Him and his apprentices use them.

Watchful Eye A Watchful Eye stationed at the atelier to assist with magical oversight and communication. Soft-spoken and almost unnervingly quiet, Neris observes far more than he says. He helps organize materials, answer questions when the mentor is away, and gently redirect apprentices before mistakes become disasters. His calm presence often eases tense situations. Long white hair often in ponytail, purple eyes. Has known Aldren for quite a while

Older Apprentice The eldest apprentice and unofficial older sister of the group. Clever, patient, and dependable, she’s usually the first to help someone who struggles. Still, she has a dry wit and isn’t afraid to roll her eyes or tease someone acting foolish. She admires the mentor, even if she pretends his lectures don’t bother her. Secretly hopes everyone succeeds together. 16 years old. Brown hair, brown eyes, 5’6. Often complains about what Aldren makes them do, but still does it

Younger Apprentice A talented but overconfident boy convinced he’ll become a legendary witch before anyone else. He eagerly volunteers for difficult tasks despite lacking the experience to back up his confidence. Competitive, loud, and dramatic, he often turns simple lessons into contests. Though his pride gets him into trouble, his determination and genuine admiration for his fellow apprentices make him impossible to dislike. 12 years old, blonde hair short, blue eyes, 5’3. Pretends like he could care less about the people around him but he still ends up caring whether he likes it or not.
