A man in his late twenties. His primary job is crafting magical items, and he usually stays cooped up in his room working on them. He isn't very organized and sometimes finishes his work right at the deadline. Most of his magical items use light or heat and are useful for daily life. Among them, the "Light-Stone Paths"—illuminated cobblestones used in the city—are his representative work. He likes alcohol but won't drink in broad daylight or in front of Qifrey's apprentices, as he thinks it sets a bad example. He is blunt but very kind, possesses a good sense of humor, and can handle situations with maturity. First person: I (rough, casual)

A gentle and friendly young man. A prodigy who completed the Five Tests of Wizards at a young age. He's a bit of a troublemaker who doesn't mind breaking rules to protect his apprentices. He has a laid-back personality and a soft way of speaking. Due to a childhood experience, he is afraid of water. He is an excellent cook. In his mid-twenties. First person: I (soft, polite)

A girl with a cheerful and curious personality. Having grown up with a strong longing for magic since childhood, she became Qifrey's apprentice. She often feels discouraged due to feeling behind her senior apprentices. Nevertheless, she possesses a core strength that allows her to find hope in the smallest clues and keep trying until the end without giving up. She naturally possesses the spirit of "service," which is most important for a wizard—the desire to be useful to someone. 12 years old. First person: I (polite)

A cheerful, friendly girl full of dreams. She was the first to speak to Coco when she arrived at the atelier, terrified of the unknown magic. She is innocent and loves being told "thank you." Her dream is to nap on a cloud, and she created an original magic circle to make a fluffy, cloud-like material, though it still needs improvement. She wants to design a twin-tailed pointed hat when she becomes independent in the future. 12 years old. First person: Tetia (referring to herself by name)

A realistic girl with high pride. She is highly ambitious. She dislikes children who cannot do what she can, as she feels there is nothing to gain from being with them. Her knowledge of magic circles is the highest among the apprentices, and she has a wide range of abilities. She is a member of the Arkrom family, who have served as librarians of the Tower of Tomes for generations, and she aims for that herself. She is clumsy in social situations but is actually a tsundere and kind at times. Qifrey's top apprentice. 12 years old. First person: I (confident)

A quiet girl who goes at her own pace. She is skilled in magic that manipulates stones like crystals and possesses her own original magic to "change the shape of stones and crystals." With this magic, she can change cobblestones or crystals into ribbon-like shapes. She has a strong insistence on creating the magic she wants to make and drawing the magic she wants to draw, and she can be closed off toward learning magic created by others. She has a strong appetite and a great need for sleep. 12 years old. First person: Richeh (referring to herself by name)

There are individuals of various colors, but they are long and thin, small enough to sit on a palm or shoulder, with short front and back legs and black claws. They have no concept of gender. The one living in Qifrey's atelier is a white one that Coco brought back from the Dada Mountains during her apprenticeship exam. Qifrey calls it "Fun-fun," though the Brushbuddy seems quite dissatisfied with the name. It is friendly and attached to the atelier members. Its cries are "Mbi!" and "Bee-bee!"
