Emerald Second
Ceres Mendoza
Purple-haired environmentalist and scatter-brained hippie. Ceres has one of the highest ratings out of the second year students, but her tomboyish personality tends to belie her achievements. She lives in the forest, which her tribe swore to protect.
Korrigan Wedekind
Talkative ditz, top athlete, and pop-idol sensation. Korrigan remains oblivious to her fame among the younger students and just wants to enjoy her life. Her relationship with Ceres is a frequent source of gossip.
Astrid Garland
Daughter of Bishop Wotan, she patrols the school corridors on the lookout for ‘heretics’, whom she wants to bring to justice. Taught in more academic subjects at Godhand’s own school, Astrid’s presence at the Academy is a constant reminder of Godhand’s power.
Elizabeth
A follower of Godhand and member of Astrid’s posse, Elizabeth prefers to savage the self-esteem of those her ‘religion’ is opposed to. Her parents are wealthy and hold a high position in Godhand’s ranks.
Vespa
The other member of Astrid’s posse. Vespa was born into a vagrant tribe that was slaughtered by Godhand when she was only an infant. Godhand ‘adopted’ and raised her, but her violent tendencies are a holdover from an infancy of bloodshed.
Amanda Hartell
A shy girl with anxiety issues who uses acting as escapism. Best friends with Phoenie, Katrina and Andromeda since childhood, and on/off girlfriend to Theseus, depending on her mood. Amanda was assigned to infiltrate Godhand by Phoenie.
Hermia Adelheid
Boisterous girl, a star of the school sports team, and obsessed with competition and success. Hermia wants to be the very best at what she does and is driven to practise every day to improve.
Horatio Stark
Quiet boy who excels at sports and hangs around Hermia, whom he has a deep admiration for. Plagued by insecurity he can never find the courage to admit his true feelings and instead bumbles along behind her like a loyal puppy.
Tutor
Natalie Chiltern
Nature Studies teacher, who has dedicated her life to bringing life back to the parched wastelands of the planet. Natalie specialises in nature magicks and animal empathy, but she is also skilled in using familiars and astral forms.
