<div class="text">As the fifth child of the Lupine Kingdom's royal family, Heron will never inherit much of anything, though much is still expected of them. Possessing an interest in clothing and fashion, they aim to one day become a famous clothier, but their general distaste for hard work is not a promising indicator for future success. They can always be found with a book in hand. As a werewolf, they experience some discrimination on campus, but generally remain cheerful and upbeat.<br>
Today, however, they seem to be struggling with a heavy trunk full of [[fabric]].

</div></div>The first elf to ever attend the Royal Magic Academy, Itham cuts a striking figure among the sea of humans. Used to living among his own kind, he occasionally misinterprets human social cues or conversational subtleties, and can be quite blunt when asked for his opnion. In most other situations, however, he is perceptive, polite, and soft-spoken.
Yes, I joined the [[adventuring club]] in order to become closer to Itham.
No, I did not [[befriend]] this person. Clumsy and overenthusiastic as she may be, Yuuko's deep desire for equality and peace is reflected in the way she treats everyone with dignity and compassion. As the daughter of a baker, she has a special talent for cooking and often shares her delicious creations, making her a surprisingly popular figure among your classmates.
Yes, I joined the [[cooking club]] in order to become closer to Yuuko.

The kind and outgoing peasant girl with a rare affinity for Light magic, [[Yuuko Mochizuki]].
