The Wizard (tm) and The Schismist (tm) have a weird relationship if you believe the rumors

The rumors being that the two of them have been spotted just spending a lot of casual time in each others company despite being (according to Denkichi) mortal enemies and all??? I like to think after Denkichi quits his little cult I mean quits being a Schismist that the two become a bit less antagonistic, because he no longer has an excuse to follow her around in a non-weird fashion so he ends up just trying to catch her attention at any opportunity (that ISNT prime battle time, of course, he hadn't given up his goal of winning a duel with her), and Persephone is so fucking exhausted from the existential horror that was Lemuria+Novus back to back that she doesn't really care and actually allows it on occasion, now they're mortal enemies AND vent buddies and they're both going to tell the papers its not gay and they're both lying.

That one Schismist who insists that he's The Wizard's equal, he can TOTALLY beat them in a fight, and he's just like some rando that fought the wizard one time before and got his ass beat instantly. Yeah. That guy^! I made a character outta him, say hello to Denkichi, Spiral's most pathetic man. Feat. a very tired YW (Persephone).

SO absolutely obsessed with the npc dialogue, compelled into basing an entire character around it, I've been possessed for days making him and I am THRILLED, I haven't made a new wizard in years, okay. The story goes as follows ofc, that being that Denkichi, a former Ravenwood student and heavy YW admirer, developed a very weird one-sided complex with her. That being that they are rivals - nay, MORTAL ENEMIES, destined by the gods themselves! Persephone may not even know his name but shhh!! He swears it to be true! So fella just up and joins the Schismists SOLELY to try and fight her and prove their rivalry. He doesn't know what the they are even doing<3 He has no clue why it even exists, he just heard they hate the YW and said haha bet?? Not as much as me though- It's going to lead to him becoming her new travelling companion after the events of Novus! In that he decides that the Schismists are annoying, not letting him fight The Wizard enough, and that if he just trailed after her like a lost little puppy... then he could have many more chances. Tada! B...Best friends... (Sidenote: In game the mob/boss is balance. But I wanted him to be storm in my version, so I could make fun of storm magic even further, AND so that he could be a yokai! He's a raiju, a sparky, blue golden retriever. My nonhuman wizard agenda prevails.)
