Minor Character Bios
Saydee-Constantly getting into fights, often skipping class, and generally doing as she wants, Saydee, a part-golden eagle, part-lion anthro gryphon, has earned a tough reputation on campus. Standing at 6′1 and with a glare that strikes fear into the hearts’ of many, Saydee is an imposing figure and infamous delinquent. While she is hotheaded and irritable, Saydee is far from a bully, and has often gone out of her way to stand up for others. She may have the strongest raw magical power of anyone at Duriel University, and specializes in wind and storm magic, with very little in the way of subtly and refined skill. It’s generally agreed that in a battle between Saydee, who can create massive storms, and Vibe, who can create massive firestorms, would be a massive sight to behold. Considering how much Saydee enjoys arcane duels, she would relish that chance.
While she may be many professors’ least favorite student, oftentimes disrupting class with her loud mouth beak, the faculty members agree that its far better to try and mentor her despite said behavior than let her power amok. She can usually be seen wearing her semi-torn, long black “I’m try hard to look cool and can get away with it because I can create hurricanes” coat. At one point, a few students stared plucking Vibe’s wing feathers when she wasn’t looking and running off on a dare. This hurt and disheartened Vibe, and one of these bullies became emboldened and decided to try the same stunt against Saydee. He spent the rest of the day in the infirmary and has given Saydee a wide berth ever since. After that, Saydee, despite hardly knowing Vibe, tracked down the others who had been bullying her and knocked them a good hundred or so feet up in the air with a blast of wind and only mostly cushioning their fall on the way back down. While what she said about, “Not catching them next time if they pull anyone else’s feathers,” probably isn’t true, they don’t feel the need to test Saydee’s limits.
Alvius-Before he was born, Avlius’ father, a human noble, saved the life of a captive fae creature, and in exchange was allowed one magical favor; he asked only for a blessing upon his then unborn child. Little did he know this meant Alvius would be a powerful mage with control over nature, the ability to wield the power of the Fae Realm, and emerald green hair. Alvius has always lived split between two worlds, that of the wild, untamed forest and that of proper, uptight nobility. Alvius is perfectly comfortable in and appreciates both, as such he can usually be found in spiffy noble’s clothes or simple yet sharp outdoor gear. Raised to be a proper gentleman, Alvius is handsome, educated, and polite, though a rampant if poetic flirt, regardless of species. Most don’t mind, as he is not popular so much as a campus superstar. One person who wasn’t so receptive happened to be Saydee, who got annoyed at Avlius’ flirtations and challenged him to an arcane duel to humiliate him in return. She won, but Avlius put up such a good fight that he earned her respect. However, during the course of the battle, Saydee name called Alvius, “fancy garden boy,” and the unfortunate nickname has stuck ever since.
