Name: Robin Speck
Character base: garden/animal witch
Year: 2nd year
Age: 14
Gender: nonbinary (he/him)
Sexuality: bisexual
Height: 5ft 5
Eye colour: green
Hair colour: black and red mix
Likes: sneaking food to the critters in the forest, rescuing orphan fox kits, building little villages out of sticks (he uses animal safe glue if it’s for the animals), being reminded that it’s okay to not practice outside of classes if he doesn’t feel up to it, handing out his handmade fox guides
Dislikes: feeling too tired to even walk down to the gardens, running out of lint rollers, being reminded of the microwave egg incident, when the kits chew up his socks, feeling guilty for not having as many plants as the others
Homeland: Rosewood Village
Hobby: promoting for and raising foxes
Talents: he has a very natural connection with animals, and all his kits listen to him and adore him (they usually have to be carried around with him or they’ll cry by the dorm doors)
Magic path: earth elemental magic & animal communication
he currently has four fox kits and two adult foxes: two red fox kits named Carrot and Radish, one grey fox kit named Dust, one marble fox kit named Coffee, one adult silver fox named Midnight, and one adult silver marble fox named Granite (the majority of his room is dedicated to them)
the other students are always giving him positive words to make him feel better about, in his words, 'not being a true garden witch' (they gift him fake plants too, cause they know he stresses over real ones despite loving them)
he once tried microwaving eggs for his kits, and soon found out that it doesn't end well; everyone now references it if he's in the dorm kitchen
he struggles sometimes with putting too much pressure on himself, so once a week he writes a letter to Kaitlin for her to read and write back her advice (he feels too awkward talking about it face to face)
So I was at Costco a couple of weeks ago and they had these raspberry, elderberry, red grape, green grape, and blackberry starters there. Each starter pack had 2 plants for $12.
I couldn’t resist. I got an Arapaho blackberry starter.
One of them was already growing a new branch (rhizome?) when I planted it, and is doing well! Look at this little guy!
I’ve been worried about my other one, and I’m impatient, so I just HAD to check on it.
I mean... If you do a cleansing, put some eggs in each corner, rosemary in the door and a sprig of mint under your bed, and that haters suddenly stop sleeping for too many nights... And they are back to you begging and crying for help... Hey, it's just a coincidence, right? Because... we believe in coincidences and stuff... right? 😏💅
Cause we never would cause any damage to anyone by will, we are here all peace and love 🤞🏼

Name: Heather Flutters
Character base: garden/forest witch
Year: 6th year
Age: 18
Gender: female (she/her)
Sexuality: asexual, biromantic
Height: 5ft 8
Eye colour: blue
Hair colour: lavender
Likes: collecting and painting rocks & hagstones, her pet Giant Land Snail (named Munch because you can hear him eat), making gift boxes of natural items such as pinecones, mossy rocks, tree twigs, and river stones to give to her friends, saving garden snails by putting them up off the floor
Dislikes: misplacing her rock paints, people who don’t appreciate her fridge guardian (a pinecone with googly eyes), misplacing her hagstone necklace
Homeland: Floralia Way
Hobby: painting rocks
Talents: not everyone appreciates it, but she remembers tons about snails, and will often offer to give impromptu lessons about Giant Land Snail species
Magic path: garden magic
she adores her pet snail, Munch, and is quite seriously considering getting more of different Giant Land Snail species to become an 'official snail keeper', in her own words
hagstones are particularly special to her, and she keeps the one her mother gave her as a necklace that she only takes off to sleep or shower
aside from hagstones, she collects regular rocks and paints them to give as gifts to the younger students who want to start rock collections
for her close friends, she downsizes some of her nature collection to them in the form of gift boxes (she always sticks googly eyes to the pinecones)
