I was going to leave her a secret for a while longer but... meh, I wanted to share her.

This is Princess Cyra of Callisto, the sorceress (she is mostly a fairy, though) of weather.

So, on season 2, for the first arc (I have IDEAS of seasons 1 and 2, not solid plots, villains. I have a start, a middle and an end. I just need to rewatch Blue Exorcist to have more ideas), Haruki is, against everyone's will, transferred to the Exorcist academy, and the Somnix lose one member.

Art can be hard and also rewarding. It's also other things but that's what I feel about this piece.

Alfea

It’s a college for girls only, not because only women can be fairies (there are mail fairies too) but because there’s this old fashion belief that fairies need to focus on learning and improving themselves and they can’t get distracted by relationships (as if they weren’t all lesbian) and yes i’m aware they spend 90% of the time with the specialists but as i said it’s a traditional thing and i don’t make the rules.

You enter Alfea at the age of 16 and you’re supposed to graduate by the end of your 3rd year, however you technically graduate only when earning Enchantix, so if you still haven’t earned the transformation you have 1 extra year of time before you get kicked out💞 (during that extra year you either remain at Alphea and keeo studying or, if you already passed all the exams you can stay home and just return to prove your new powers once you gained the enchantix to get your graduation.

Once graduated you can even leave and look for a job (don’t ask me about fairies’ jobs because i barely know what humans do for a living) or study other 2 years at Alphea to get a master.

During these 2 last year each girl can decide what to study according to what she wants to become afterwards, the master is also a lot more expensive💀 (during the master you can earn the transformations which you consider more useful for your future, for example Believix if you wanna spread magic to uknown realms, sirenix if you plan to work underwater, harmonix if... what the fuck is even harmonix useful for?)

Cloudtower

Unlike Alfea Cloudtower it’s a selective school because not everyone can become a witch, before entering you need to pass an exam which is similar to the Divergent thing (you know the simulation they do to understand in which faction they belong to), it’s to prove their emotions are negative enough and that they are mentally strong enough, that’s why not all freshman students are 16, because not all girls pass the exam at the first try, that’s why Selina got in Cloudtower so late despite being the same age as Bloom.

Also you graduate after 5 years (i read somewhere that in the 4kids dub Icy mentioned in season 5 that it was her 4th year at Cloudtower, idk if it’s true but that’s what gave me the idea).

During the first 3 years they teach the darkest magic, curses, poisons and how to enhance the girls’ negative emotions.

Once they became powerful enough during the last 2 years the witches need to learn how to control their powers and eventually neutralise them if they cause damage... so yeah they basically learn the “light” side of their magic.

I headcanon that Cloudtower is not a school to form criminals and villains how it seems in the show, because although their powers are fed by negative emotions wictches are not necessary evil and there’s a place for them in society, next to all the other magical creatures.

In order to graduate they have to pass one last exam whete they need to demonstrate both how destructive their powers could possibly me, but also that they are in charge of their powers, rather than the opposite, so this could mean destroying a tree and then cure it (lame example but you got it).

oooh yes so its canon Flora/Bloom and Tecna/Musa, BUT Aisha moves in with Stella who has a whole ass room to herself. And its primarily because in my version Solarians glow in the dark so most people don’t want light while they sleep but hey guess what Aisha is scared of the dark(or rather the illusion of not being able to escape it) so she would not have a problem with that.

Just for more info, Alfea has group dorms of three, two people rooms connects by a small lounge. Cloudtower rooms in groups of three(considered a lucky number for witches) or by covens(usually only graduate students and with special permission from the headmistress) with beds on the room’s floor and a loft section for each student. Red Fountain rooms in their teams of 5 or 6 with room of multiple bunk-beds for sleeping connected to a small kitchenet and living room for food and downtime. When stationed at a school or facility, the Order uses the school/facility’s accommodations as applicable (so at Red Fountain Nex would be put with the students but Thoren would be put with the staff) But when using their own facilities(like at Lynphea College) four pairs (so 8 people of various genders, 4 mentors 4 students) and rooms them in two large bedrooms(4 beds each obvi) connected to a central living room and full kitchen. 

Mmm that’s interesting, i think @bitchatcloudtower would be the overachiever who’s always the best in every subject, who works super hard and minds her own business, she’s admired (and secretly feared) by everyone but doesn’t care about popularity.

@solariaswitch would be an edgy artist, a bit hard to get to know, looks a bit hostile but is actually very soft on the inside, she is very sensitive to injustices and defends freshman students when older witches try to bully them, she’s a good student but is more intrested in exploring other things, sometimes he wonders what would it be like to be a fairy.
