#reina the apprentice

[hibischush]

Idk if we’ll ever get canon ages of the bachelors and bachelorettes for FoM. But do you have exactly any headcanon or idea of how old they are?

You know I was just thinking about this! I have a few ideas but still unsure so feel free to put your input in the tags 🌺

Bachelors

Balor 🪙

26 or 27

He's a merchant that has built a reputation around the town and outside of it, he needs a few years to do that

Especially considering he was a ""former rouge,"" he'd either have to spend a few years to regain trust or change his identity lol

He looks young but acts older if you know what I mean? Idk I guess has a lot of experience

March ⚒️

I'm giving the pretty confident answer that he is 22

He acts like an angsty teen so he's younger but definitely not over 25

For historical accuracies, a quick search claims that blacksmith apprentices would start around age 13 or 14 and would last from 4-8 years (this is from a quick google search so the source is....trust me man...)

I think he would have started at 14 and the apprenticeship would last at least 6 years (he's an "award-winning" blacksmith so I would assume that the two years after he graduated he would build up his fame)

Hayden 🐔

Anywhere from 35-42

I feel like 30 is too young for Hayden but's that just me

He could be a younger silver fox you never know

For maximum DILF points he has to be 35≤

I think a happy little median would be 38

Ryis 🌲

I like to think he's 23 but 22-25 also works

He definitely looks young but I don't think he's at his mid twenties just yet

Eiland 📜

23

It makes sense to me, he still looks young and has some youthful outlooks on life or on his dreams

and that's not a bad thing!

If he ended up getting education as a historian/archaeologist then it puts him at the end of his education

But his age depends on Adeline's since I'm not sure if he is the older or younger sibling (or if they are twins)

If they are twins they both would be 24 but if he is younger then I would keep him at 23

Bachelorettes

Celine 🌼

I know that a lot of people would hc her as younger (like 21) and like

her looks fit the bill

but I think she has a baby face and I think she'd be 24

Juniper ♨️

Juniper gives the "fun wine aunt" vibes

So I think her age range is 28-30

Reina 🍳

I think that Reina would be the youngest out of all of the bachelorettes

I think she'd be 21

I don't have a great reason other than she just seems lost in a way

Like doesn't know what she wants her "niche" to be

She likes cooking and that's great! I think she'd make an excellent chef

But as long as she stays a part-timer at her parents inn she just reminds me of a dove that hasn't left the nest quite yet

Valen ���

38-42

Medical school and residency explains most of this

She just gives a very mature vibe so I think she'd be on the older end

However, I think she would be older than Hayden so if Hayden is 38, she'd be at least 40

Adeline 🌷

25

She gives older sister vibes and with how stressed out she is that just solidifies my opinion that she is older

She's getting to the age where she's figuring most things out but some things still escape her y'know

Some things are learned with age (like learning how to relax)

Bonus: if Caldarus does end up becoming a romanceable then (they?) would be the oldest by a long shot. Easily 1,000+

Some of the romanceables look/act super young, but since you can get married the automatic age minimum is 18. But honestly even that is pretty young to get married (at least in the modern day)?? I want to hear the rest of the communities thoughts too.

[avidrawsthings]

since youre changing up more stuff from year 5 what are other things that merula did to reina and the others?

How she ruined Penny's friendship with Reina

TW: Bullying, depictions of injuries

From her years of constantly following and spying on Reina, Merula picked up on things that she eventually decided to weaponize against her. She did this by feeding this info to Emily Tyler, who'd spin those details into something nastier, resulting in some ugly rumors that destroyed Reina's reputation for a while. This was just the start.

Merula would justify all of this as the means to earn Rakepick's approval and prove that Reina was lying about the older woman all along. She didn't care what it took or who she had to hurt to get what she wanted. It's why she'd eventually go after some of Reina's friends as well.

There were some other students working with Merula for one reason or another, ranging from blackmail to being just as bad as she is. She wasn't exactly the only horrible kid at the school during that time, just the most well-known. It's why she was able to inflict all that harm that year. The punishments and detentions dished out by the teachers weren't enough to stop her, since the only opinion that mattered to her was Rakepick's.

To Reina

Merula often had Reina's things vandalized, such as her Quidditch robes. She even tried to send tampered packages that Reina thankfully never opened. Merula eventually got to the point she made attempts on Reina's life twice, a line that even Emily would never cross. The first attempt was when she slipped some chicken into her food knowing fully well that Reina had a serious poultry allergy. This failed thanks to her Familiar Ginger warning her in time.

She was the reason Reina was away from the school for 50 days. She tried to kill her by breaking her crystal wand after pouring some Erumpent Potion on it. Since those wands are connected to the user's soul, breaking them would cause them to fall into a coma until the wand finished repairing itself.

Since this act was very intentional, it triggered a curse she'd try to ignore for as long as she could. Merula thought she basically got away with attempted murder since no one caught her, but Reina's family already knew she did it as soon as they were informed of what happened. They chose not to press charges or make it public since Merula was condemned by this point.

To the others

With Reina out of the way during this time, Merula decided to try and get her fellow apprentices out of the way so that Rakepick would only pay attention to her. Rowan, Ben, Barnaby and Talbott weren't apprentices, but she viewed them as threats regardless. She'd spend the following week going after each of them, and she only backed down when Rakepick stepped in and put her foot down. The group got healed in a timely manner thanks to Chiara's Healing Magic.

Rowan

As she was the one that led the efforts that cleared Reina's name, Merula had her ambushed when she was walking back from the library to the Great Hall for dinner. Her hair was cut short and her glasses were broken. Rowan magically tagged her attackers with help from her Paper Magic to identify them later on.

Ben

Like Rowan, he got ambushed while making his way back to the Gryffindor Common Room. He was left with several bruises and a broken left arm. He'd refuse to leave the Hospital Wing until after the matter had been dealt with.

Barnaby

"Hey Ismelda...Has anyone ever told you that you're such an amazing friend?"

She targeted him after overhearing him talking about how Rakepick had offered him the chance to be one of her apprentices after praising his strength. Ismelda soon found him showing clear signs of being poisoned, and helped walk him to the Hospital Wing. The two caught on right away this wasn't a coincidence, and reported their suspicions to Snape.

Talbott

"For years all you've done is brag about being the strongest witch at Hogwarts. The only thing you've ever been good at is being a bloody migraine!"

She deliberately ruined his privacy by exposing that he's dating Reina, and then threatened to destroy his mother's necklace, as well as report to the Ministry that he's an Unregistered Animagus. In the ensuing duel, he swiftly defeated her thanks to a combination of quick thinking and his Wind Magic.

Penny

Had it not been for her defeat against Talbott, Merula would've gone after Penny as well since she was also a fellow apprentice. She had intended to sabotage one of Penny's potions so that she'd be too injured to accompany them to the next vault.

Chiara

"I've been getting the feeling that I'm being followed, professor."

As her Healing Magic helped speed up the healing process for the others' injuries, Chiara had become Merula's next target and began to spy on her. She didn't get far thanks to Snape keeping her under heavy watch due to her past actions. At this time, Chiara had been meeting up with Snape to acquire her doses of Wolfsbane Potions. Had Merula found this out, she would've reported Chiara to the Werewolf Capture Unit.

Bill

"Why in the world did you ever think this was ever a good idea?"

She tried to get him out of the way by cursing some of his school books. The plan failed, as by then he had been informed by Rowan of what Merula had been up to thanks to the Paper Tag spell, leading to the Slytherin girl getting caught.

Charlie

She had planned on tampering with a Bludger to injure him in the next Quidditch match, but was caught by Rakepick herself.

"Miss Snyde, you and I need to have a serious talk. This abhorrent behavior of yours has gone on long enough!"

Invisible [Told in King Magnifico's POV]

Trapped in his staff, King Magnifico rants about his problems, and then laments his sorry fate. He feels like nobody loves him anymore, and he's forever alone, trapped for eternity. He feels like he's invisible to Rosas now.

All told in Magnifico's POV.

Inspired by the Alison Monet song 'Invisible'.

Wish is 2 Disney, 'Invisible' is to Alison Monet

Why is fate so cruel?

Sigh.

I used to be the King of Rosas. I used to be so well loved and appreciated. I granted everyone's wishes. AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!!

Sigh.

Look at me - I've lost everything; my whole kingdom, my whole life, everything. I'm trapped in the mirror of my staff I created with the forbidden magic.

Stuck in a one-sided mirror where I'm unable to ever see my reflection again.

Ironically, Amaya, mi reina, she said I loved mirrors.

Amaya.

Growl.

HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME; HER HUSBAND, HER REY, HER KING?! I DID EVERYTHING FOR HER, FOR ROSAS; THE KINGDOM WE BUILT, AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID TO ME IN RETURN?!?!!?!?!?!?

SHE HAD ME, THE KING OF ROSAS, STUCK IN A MIRROR, SEALED AWAY IN THE DUNGEON!!!!!

AAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO UNFAIR!!!! My life was absolutely perfect! Until....

She came.

Asha.

The girl who I considered to be my apprentice; my successor. 

The girl who stood up to me.

The girl who questioned my reign.

The stupid girl who wanted her stupid grandfather's stupid wish granted!

SIGH.

How stupid I was to consider her. I shoulda kicked her out the minute she questioned me.

I decided what everyone in Rosas deserved!

And then, she, her stupid friends, her stupid goat, and my stupid wife, they revolted against me, they took all the wishes I so rightfully granted!

AND she rescued that star she summoned from the sky, the one I tried to capture for myself!

And look where it got me!

King Magnifico!

The King of Rosas!

Trapped in a stupid mirror, stuck in this stupid cesspool of a dungeon!

AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh.

Sob.

I used to rule Rosas.

I used to be the one they adored...

And now look where I am.

I'm stuck in here. Trapped in this unbreakable mirror in the dungeon for eternity.

Actually, To be honest, I don't even know how long it's been since I was placed in here. There's no windows in the dungeon, so I can't tell if it's day or night in here. For all I know, I could be stuck here for weeks, or months by now!

I don't even know If I'm gonna survive in here, since I can't be able to get food or water in here, or even be able to shower, or anything. Heck, I don't even know if i'm still gonna age normally. I guess I may be stuck in the same age forever, yet I don't even look a day over 40.

Sniff.

But I'm stuck in here. Stuck in this cesspool of a mirror with no way out.

And....

Sniff.

I'm lonely.

I'm all alone now.

Ever since I was placed in here, nobody's been down to visit me.

Not even Amaya. She's ruling the kingdom now, and I don't blame her if she doesn't even want to see me, her ex-husband. I bet she's forgotten all about me.

Sob.

I can't say I blame her.

I can't say i didn't deserve it.

Sob.

Sniff.

Nobody loves me anymore.

I bet all of Rosas has forgotten about me by now. Their king! The one who used to grant their wishes for them!

Sob.

Nobody loves me.

Sniff.

I used to be so loved and appreciated.

But now, I feel like I'm invisible.

Sob.

Invisible.

They treat me like I'm invisible.

It's like I don't even exist anymore.

I don't exist.

Sob.

I feel like I can hallucinate my hands disappearing.

It feels like it's true.

Sniff.

Nobody loves me anymore. 

I'm the loneliest man in the world.

Sob.

It's hopeless.

Sob.

Fate is so cruel.

Continuous Sobbing.

STATUS: Closed for @ironlvngs WHERE: Spring Fling WHEN: Early(ish) in the night

The night was still in the early stages as people were still arriving but the crowd was already a decent size. That was one thing about Ogden, if there was a party the student body would show up there. Reina was roaming around, snacking on the finger foods she filled her plate with. "Link," She said to get his attention once she noticed him and was within earshot. "Just the man I've been looking for." That wasn't the truth but upon seeing him she remembered she wanted to discuss something with him. "Don't worry I'm not dragging you somewhere you don't wanna be like I did at the Valentine's Social." She laughed. "I was hoping to pick your brain on a new tattoo I want." She knew he was an apprentice at Inked in Red. "I'm thinking of getting a little camera outline to go with my paper airplane." She held up her right ring finger. "Would that be something you can do?"

Posting here too~ Couldn’t resist making a design for Rei 🤍

Thank you for the cute charm concept @bastart13 !

[the-arcana-randomness]

Welcome back! 10, 15, 26, 78 for the OC ask (the long one) 🌻

Awwww hiiiii! Thank you for the welcome, always good to see you floating around my tumblr ♡ Here are the answers for Reina:

(Hope I'm answering the right ones, uuupsie)

10. What does your OC keep in a special drawer?

A magic book Asra gave her, a ring Lucio gave her, her tarot deck, a picture (drawing actually) of her mom and sisters, some magic charms and letters from her father.

15. What was your OC's childhood like?

Oh, I could do a whole separate post about this in detail, but in short:

She came from a modest family that live in the countryside in the South. She was a mischievous little kid who got away with a lot of things, but always respected and loved her mother, since her father wasn't around much because of his work. She grew up with two sisters and only really got along with one of them (her younger sister). Their family didn't have much, but there was more than enough love for everyone. Around the time she was 16, her father died and the financial situation in their family worsened. That's when she decided to go out into the world and start "working" to help her family out, even though the real reason in her mind for leaving was that she didn't want to be a burden to her mother. She started hustling and working odd jobs here and there and she would, every so often, return home to see her mom and give them some money, or if she wasn't able to come back she would just find ways to send them money. The whole time she was learning magic, since that made her feel close to her father, who was a magician. By the time she was 18, she was a master magician, able to spawn gates to the magic realms wherever and whenever she pleased, so she started spending a lot of time there, as an escape.

26. Why does your OC and her soulmate work so well together?

Lucio and her work well together because even though they are quite different, they have a lot of things in common and they complete each other, in a weird and twisted way.

78. What's your OC's favorite time of day?

Golden hour, duh 😍

Omg I loveeeed these questions! I really enjoy doing these. ♡♡♡

[ya-girl-kitty]

Concept art I made for @the-arcana-randomness OC, Reina. I have yet to create a color pallet tho so tbd. I did this while avoiding school because I’m great at being a college sophomore -_- I’m ready for the end of summer semester rn because I’m dying. If you see the band under the top I want to put a print there so I put a squiggle until I sketch something out on photoshop and do some more research. I love drawing so if anyone has any requests I would love to do so lol.

Also. Ye, I spelled their OC’s name wrong on paper cus she has the same as my OC, Rania whoops

My Apprentice OC from The Arcana game! 

Her name is Reina and is from the very small country of Aureolus I’m still building her background and her story but im just ahHHHHHH I love The Arcana game. 

[zenos-yay-galvus]

hey! hey you! asra deserves to be happy and the apprentice deserves to be able to R E M E M B E R

this started as a dumb doodle and suddenly became a dumb comic

so sorry it’s so sketchy and Not Great, i just wanted this sad thing out of my brain, ya know?

[avidrawsthings]

Since the post detailing the bullying Reina endured wont show up why not just do a recap instead?

IDK what is it with this damn site refusing to let me publish it lol It won’t even let me publish the second draft I made and instead just keeps giving me those annoying little cutesy error messages. Third time’s the charm I guess. One day I’ll learn to actually keep things very brief.

Going forward, trigger warning for harassment, bullying and sl*t-shaming. I’ll keep it as brief as possible and divide it in sections to keep it organized. Images will be included to provide visuals while also avoiding the massive wall of text this would be otherwise. Since I want to cover everything in a single post, this is gonna be quite lengthy despite my efforts to shorten them as much as possible. There will be 6 parts total. Sorry in advance. While each part is short it’s still a long post. XD Hope it’s a decent read for those interested.

Context regarding Merula’s characterization: Thanks to a number of factors playing out differently, the Merula in my setting had become incredibly toxic by Year 5. Basically she faced actual consequences for everything she’s done since Year 1. Since Reina’s relation to Ricardo (Jacob) was never public, Merula didn’t have the MC’s scrutiny as an excuse to get away with her bullying. As a result, she gained a reputation of being violent and destructive due to lashing out at the foreign transfer student (Reina)for no real reason. The frequent comparisons to her Death Eater parents didn’t help matters either. Instead of reflecting and learning to improve herself, Merula just blamed everything on Reina and let those negative feelings fester over the years, turning her into the person she became by Year 5.

Tldr: Merula’s a straight up villain in Year 5.

Pt.1: Beginning

As Reina had sensed pure malice from Rakepick the moment they met back in Year 4, she’s refused to be anywhere near the woman. Into year 5 this extended to Reina refusing to take Defense Against the Dark Arts, and she never became one of her apprentices. Reina resolved to break the curse on her terms and worked alongside Rowan, Talbott, Ismelda, Barnaby, Jae, Tulip, Badeea and Chiara. Despite the stresses that came with it, for Reina it wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle.

The following November, Reina had attempted to warn Merula about Rakepick’s true intentions, but the Slytherin girl wasn’t having it and instead lashed back rather violently. With this Reina was completely done with Merula, however Merula wasn’t done with her.

Merula wanted Reina to be miserable and be driven to leave the school. It wasn’t just about being the strongest witch anymore. Reina’s attempts at warning her became her excuse for making plans to ruin the girl’s life by any means necessary.

Merula approached Emily Tyler of all people, as she knew perfectly well that the petty Gryffindor had it out for Reina as well. Two years prior Reina cursed and humiliated her after she (Emily) insulted Bill. Emily and Merula formed an alliance to get back at Reina.

Thanks to everything she gathered about Reina over the years of spying on her, Merula passed on any info to Emily that could be used to incite some much needed damage. Emily twisted that information around into some awful rumors.

Pt.2: Rumors

The rumors started by depicting Reina as a power-obsessed glory-hound, seeking out the vaults for nothing more than personal gain. When Rowan attacked her in the courtyard while under the Imperious Curse, this gave the witnessing students the impression that they were fighting and Rowan has had enough.

Reina’s refusal to work with Rakepick was seen as her viewing the woman as competition. It was that rumor specifically that began to drive a wedge between her friends. When everyone gathered at the library, Reina made it clear why she avoided Rakepick. By that point she’s always been honest, especially as Reina has always been a bad liar and her friends knew that. This time should’ve been no different, but Reina quickly found out some of her friends were already doubting her.

Charlie would be the first to question her claims, and while he had no ill intentions whatsoever, to Reina it felt like a slap to the face. Although she didn’t have proof to her claims, all of them knew she’d never lie. This is what led to the groups splitting in two: those that sided with Reina due to their own mistrust of Rakepick consisted of Rowan, Talbott, Ben, Tulip and Chiara. Barnaby, Ismelda, Jae and Badeea would join them later.

During that time Penny was not in the best mental state thanks to Beatrice’s situation. Merula took advantage of this and manipulated her over time into hating Reina. Penny was led to believe Reina didn’t care about the afflicted students at all, and the earlier rumors weren’t helping her case. Seeing Reina celebrating their second Quidditch victory with her teammates only enraged Penny, leading to her verbally lashing out at Reina in front of the entire common room.

Penny only stopped when Skye angrily told her to back off, and Sprout demanded to speak with her. Her friendship with Reina was severed on very bad terms. Merula had no real gain to this other than causing as much harm as possible. She proudly admitted it to Barnaby and Ismelda when they confronted her about it. The two officially cut ties with Merula at that point, disgusted and troubled at her lack of remorse.

Reina did her best to keep moving forward, but now with the added loss of her friendship with Penny and sensing nothing but hate from her, she now felt overwhelmed. By the following Quidditch practice, she fainted and had to be hospitalized after Orion couldn’t get a pulse.

Just as she recovered, the rumors became far worse.

Pt.3: Harassment, Bullying and Vandalism

After Christmas break, Emily spun more rumors that were ensured to hit Reina where it hurt and ruin her positive reputation.

With the knowledge that Reina took secret trips with Bill and Charlie the year prior to the Forbidden Forest, and again earlier in the year to the Prefects Bathroom (before the group split), the true context was left out and things were spun into something far more explicit.

Being portrayed as a whore caused a good chunk of Reina’s Muggleborn classmates to turn against her. What made it more difficult for her was the disdain she sensed from them because of things about her that were nowhere near true. This became one of those times Reina hated her Empathy and found herself wishing she could either shut it off or never have it again.

Soon her items, desks and Quidditch robes got vandalized and had terrible words etched/painted on them. Spells would get thrown at her out in the halls and she had to stop answering mail out of worry they were tampered with. While she still fought back and cursed those responsible, these people would not let up now that they got a reaction out of her.

She now had to deal with accusations of doing explicit things to not only get on the Quidditch team, but also to get all of her good grades. When the professors quickly caught wind of this they were absolutely furious. After some stupidly bold students confronted Snape thinking the rumors were true, they received detentions for the rest of their time in school, and failed out of his class. It didn’t take long for him to find out Merula had some involvement in this.

During Hufflepuff’s third Quidditch match, Reina was deliberately injured far more than her teammates by members of the opposing team. Though they were disqualified and banned, Reina had to be hospitalized for weeks because of her injuries. This caused her to miss her Quinceanera (15th birthday), something she had been looking forward to nearly all her life. Her family assured her they’d have the party for her that following summer, putting her at ease.

After being released from the hospital wing, Reina was accompanied by Rowan and Chiara back to their dorm to get her books while everyone else was at lunch. To their horror they find Reina’s bed, past gifts and belongings completely destroyed.

The only things she had left were the clothes on her back and the items in the schoolbag she was carrying. Devastated and reaching her breaking point, Reina ran off campus and went into hiding. The only ones that knew of her location were Rowan, Talbott and Madam Rosmerta. When she saw how distressed Reina was, she gave the girl her brother’s apartment to use.

Rowan and Ismelda gathered with several of the others, collected all necessary evidence and publicly exposed Emily, Merula and the other bullies, who were then punished accordingly. Although Reina’s name had finally been cleared, her sudden “disappearance” started a new set of rumors. This time around Emily, Merula and the group of bullies were met with suspicion from the other students, thinking the goons were involved in her vanishing somehow.

Merula was now subjected to harassment of her own and once again had to deal with accusations of being just like her Death Eater parents.

Reina would not return to the school for the next 50 days. Before she left, thanks to Duncan and Rowan she had reached out to Peeves by bringing up his friendship with Ricardo, and offered to create some chaos-inducing spells with his input, which caught his attention. While they were making some decent progress, it was put to a halt with her sudden departure.

Not pleased with the rude interruption to his chaotic plans, he decided to give Merula an especially difficult time after learning she drove Reina away to take her place. When Rakepick called Merula out on her behavior, the Slytherin volunteered to acquire the painting by herself (not that anyone wanted to work with her anyway) as a form of redemption.

Pt. 4: Retaliation

Although Reina was out of the way, it wasn’t enough for Merula. Still desperate for Rakepick’s approval, she began to sabotage just about anyone she felt would get in her way, including fellow apprentices.

Looking to get even, Merula and the bullies went after Rowan (glasses were broken), Ben (ambushed and beaten badly), Barnaby (ambushed with curses and hospitalized) and Ismelda (ambushed and her hair forcibly cut). Charlie’s arm was purposely broken in Gryffindor’s next Quidditch match, while Bill would be hospitalized thanks to one of his books being cursed.

Merula and some goons openly confronted Talbott on the courtyard as he was reading, and the Slytherin girl not only exposed his relationship with Reina, but also mocked his dead parents. She bragged how she overheard his conversation with Reina 2 years prior as they searched for his missing necklace and why it was so important to him.

Despite being furious and disgusted, Talbott maintained his calm long enough to realize the thugs were there to make sure he couldn’t get away. He was internally thankful he Obliviated her those years back after she found out he was an Unregistered Animagus, as without a doubt she would’ve exposed that as well just to spite him.

He was able to overpower the goons after using Wind Magic.

With Merula being the last one standing, he challenged her to a duel on the spot. She gladly accepted but was quickly defeated after Talbott called her out on everything she had done, ending by sarcastically wishing her luck in acquiring the painting from Peeves. By that point she had been trying for over a week.

25 days into hiding, Reina was in a much better mental state. She continued her work with Peeves in secret after having Rowan and Duncan pass the message along. Reina found the perfect targets in the form of all her tormentors, and was eager to get back at them for everything they put her and her friends through.

With her new resolve, her wand would transform into a staff, signifying she was ready for the next step in her magical journey. The staff allowed her to use stronger magic and she soon got to work.

Pt.5: Consequences

After the awful things she said to Reina months prior, Penny had since been shunned by most of her fellow Hufflepuffs. A lot of them thought she was working with Merula and avoided her entirely because of it. While untrue, all that mattered to Penny was Beatrice’s well-being.

Unfortunately she drove away her friends as well, angrily lashing out at them out of belief they sided with Reina, when in truth all they wanted was to help. Ismelda would be the one to finally snap her out of it by calling her out on her behavior, and making Penny hit the realization that she hurt Reina so badly there’s a high chance she’ll never be forgiven. This would haunt her for the rest of her time at school.

Merula herself lost all of Rakepick’s trust and respect after the woman figured out what she had done.

Rakepick was fully aware of what Reina said about her and didn’t care in the slightest. The girl still prioritized breaking the curse and it was pretty obvious Reina would still join the rest of the group when they headed to the next vault. While evil in this setting, Rakepick still had a degree of respect for Reina and the apprentices, even if they were only useful pawns to her.

If there’s one thing Rakepick hated, it was having her time wasted, which is exactly what Merula had accomplished. She only decided to give the girl one last chance after she pleaded to get the painting from Peeves herself. Rakepick knew it was next to impossible for Merula to do it on her own due to her own decisions and behavior. The only way Merula would contribute to the chaos Peeves wanted was to be subjected to it herself, and Reina made sure she would.

Two weeks after Merula took on the task, she along with Emily and the other bullies appeared to have been struck with astronomical levels of bad luck. It all started after they received black roses in the mail, while Merula found a bunch on her bed. The only warning she received were that black roses symbolized hate, and whoever sent them was after the recipients now.

The group got subjected to all manner of pranks left and right not just from Peeves, but a few anonymous students (Tonks, Tulip and Jae). The pranks worsened over time, ranging from items like Glitter and Confetti Bombs manifesting out of thin air to attack them, pies to the face, Stink Bombs in their school bags and even a Jinx that left most of them in clown makeup that wouldn’t come off for hours. Knowing that the group was cursed, the other students avoided them.

Pt.6: Resolution

Reina at that point returned to the school, barely paying attention to the surprise her classmates had upon seeing her. The only thing she cared about was seeing the work she created with Peeves’ help: all of the spells inflicted on her tormentors. The Clown Face Jinx was actually Ricardo’s creation, and Reina used it at Peeves’ request. When Merula found out Reina was back, she angrily demanded the painting from Peeves after dishing out some (empty) threats, only to be met with paint splatter and confetti bombs. Seeing Reina as a threat to her goals, Merula headed to the courtyard where she found the girl waiting for her.

Merula demanded a duel to settle things between them once and for all, and Reina obliged. She’s defeated thanks to Reina’s new array of spells thanks to her staff. Merula makes one last ditch attempt at getting back at Reina by claiming she’s the one wasting everyone’s time with petty self-serving drama, but by that point no one buys it. Her name had already been cleared while Merula’s was pretty much done.

To get back at Merula one last time, Reina reveals the role she played in the pranks and that she received the real painting from Peeves after she arrived back at the castle, making Merula’s earlier threats against him even more pointless. She decides to put her foot down and make it clear going forward that Merula (and anyone else) would never bother her or her friends ever again, nor would she spy on them like she had done so much in the past. The choice was simple: leave them alone or face the consequences. The pranks were just a warning. Merula didn’t say anything after that.

Later on, several of the bullying thugs were expelled. Emily would have to repeat her 7th year due to poor scores on her N.E.W.Ts, barely avoiding expulsion herself. In regards to Merula, the Ministry decided keeping her at school was the logical option. Knowing well of who her parents are, and with the documentation of her past and current actions, they didn’t want to deal with the child of Death Eaters being set loose on the Wizarding World to do who knows what.

In the end, Reina got vindication after Rakepick revealed her true colors at the buried vault and attempted to kill her and her friends. The vault crew consisted of Bill, Charlie, Merula, Ben, Penny, Rowan and Reina herself. The friends that doubted her words apologized, while she herself also apologized for how she handled it. Penny kept her distance from her friends, both to focus on Beatrice and also due to feeling shame for her actions. By that point Reina had no interest in speaking to her.

It took Merula being subjected to the Cruciatus Curse by Rakepick to finally understand Reina was right about the woman all along. Had she listened to Reina’s warning rather than carry out her little revenge plot, she could’ve been better prepared. Not that Merula would ever admit it outright.

Had she been just the least bit rational, she’d at least still have Barnaby and Ismelda on her side, but instead she was all alone with only her thoughts for company. Deep down she felt she deserved all the bad things that happened to her. The only thing that kept her going was her desire to get revenge on Rakepick, and was more than willing to throw her entire life away to do it.

The apprentice tea party

I got too ambitious with this because there are so many amazing apprentices that I want to include. If I missed out yours, it’s not because I don’t like your mc. I just ran out of space/time/energy 😭.

Faye belongs to @aloneylimes_ (IG). She has such interesting character design that I wish we could get to know more about her!

Emzy  belongs to @sallysoulx (IG). Her design is unique and beautiful, almost like an adventurer! She also has some mischievous sides that makes her oh so adorable.

Polly belongs to @galacticbill (IG). She seems cold and stern, but shes in fact a shy and sweet bean that I feel is very underappreciated.

Lisa belongs to @ lisaladvi (IG). Shes such a tiger and godmother, but under that fierce eyes, she’s very compassionate and wants to protect everyone she can. How can we not love a hero like that!

Izem belongs to @vkusnodonis. She has a unisex type of beauty, and the more I get to know her, the more I fall in love with her nature! She’s very dynamic. Quiet but passionate; peaceful but would stand her ground so firmly; rational yet very easily embarassed.... all of these makes her so lovable!

Nell belongs to @greyhands​. I think she might be the first mc I saw, I’m not exactly sure, but the moment I saw her, I fall in love with her! The details, the designs. The aesthetic looks like she’s straight from the game! And I just LOVE how soft and yet determined she looks! I can totally imagine her arguing with Asra while Asra coward into the corner lol.

Julith belongs to @jyuukichannart. She’s lively and passionate about life, an attitude that I wish I can have no matter under what circumstance. I think this may be why people love her so much too.

Arkius belongs to @chocogummiesx​. He is hot. period..... no I’m joking 😂!! He seems cool and kind of rebellious, and that’s one of my favorite combo for character designs! The CGs they made? omg it’s one artist we need to appreciate!!

Prentiss belongs to @arcanaprentiss​. One of the first mcs I found too! Her story is a little sad, and when I found Prentiss, I just finished Julian’s reverse end, so it kind of cured my soul a little bit.

Leonor belongs to @starry-arcana​. SHE. IS. ADORABLE! But she doesn’t need anyone to protect her! If you think she’s an easy target? Good luck lol.

Phoenix belongs to @joandarkart​. I love how he is so colourful and lively. He gets hotheaded very easily, with Julian by his side, they are a pair of loose canon (omg). Just imagine the troubles they could get into makes me wanna laugh.

Julianne belongs to @timmys-and-scribbles​. Also one of the first mcs I found!! Her little moments with Julian are so cute that I just slowly fall in love with her! And though she looks calm and peaceful, she gets fluster so easily and that’s super adorable.

Kiki belongs to @frozen_mocha_latte (IG). She’s very chill and chill and supportive, though sometimes she can get hotheaded! She likes to tease Julian so much and it’s super satisfying to see him blush😩👌

[theskyehealers]

While the girls were at play, enjoying the company of the other children at the Morning Light, she headed towards the second floor before she heard the soft girlish howl of Ayla and with a little laugh and sigh, she hitched her to her hip. "I thought you would want to be with your sister and the other little ones." she commented and combed back the soft waves of her vibrant auburn hair and kissed her cheek. "All right..." and fitted her into her carrying cloak, balancing her on her right hip, before tapping her button nose. "You remember, hands to yourself, and not too loud." to which Ayla responded by bringing a cherubic finger to her lips, shushing herself.

And up stairs the pair went, where she checked on her patients. Notes written about each and every one, she checked on broken fingers and teased Jackson, "You could easily return home ser, but I gather you wish for a break from your home of 5 daughters." and laughed lightly, "Tonight my lord...your teenagers will need you." she commented and offered him a kind smile after she checked on the bandaging on his ring and pinky finger, bound to one another. "Bend them slowly...slowly...right." and nodded to herself before she flicked the tips of those two fingers with her own, "Any pain?" and nodded. "A bad sprain, no break...now no excuse, you head home to your family. We shall invite them to eat in the dining room, then you can all head home together. No wielding the axe for a few more days, then take it slow. My mate has taken it upon himself, with the wolves to provide wood for your fires until you are well enough."

And moved on, to another bed, checking on sweet little Reina, who had split her lip and bruised her cheek when she fell on a patch of ice.

Ayla immediately wanted to play with the slightly older girl, but she quietly chastised her, "Remember, reverence while we are on our visits. Check our patients first." she reminded her youngest one, who instead was allowed to sit with her, where Ayla pat the young patient's hand while Helena checked her lip. "It will not be more than the faintest line on your lip sweetling." and checked her cheek, and noticed the bruising going down, but not enough, and pressed in tenderly and heard her whimper. "So sorry my darling..." and took a seat beside her. "You have fractured your cheekbone. Now now...it is okay, you go ahead and cry." and embraced the young girl, where empathically, the barely year old Ayla scooted closer and in her baby talk, attempted to console Reina as well. "That means little talking..." and grinned at her. "Imagine that." and shook her head. "Time has to heal your cheek, but if you are in any pain, I can give you something for it. And how about this? you will get daily visits from your personal healer, Ayla?"

When that earned a small smile from Reina, she also promised, she could head downstairs with the children once she finished her rounds.

Most of the other patients had frostbitten toes, fingers, even noses, but nothing proved as serious as her last patient: the still unconscious woman that had been discovered in the snow.

She was alive, no outwards injuries she could still surmise and having checked for any small wounds about her neck, between her fingers and joints she still could not see what was keeping her in such a state. "You could go on like this forever love...but I am sure you do not want that..." she spoke gently, and from the jar of tallow at the head of her bed, she began to massage it into her hands and feet, keeping her skin as smooth as she could. She checked for limb strength, and made sure to keep her legs and arms in motion, fingers pressing into her flesh to feel the natural reflexes and nodded her relief. "When you are good and ready to walk, you shall be quite spry I can say." and with Ayla resting against her hip again, tucked into her body, she pat her gently as she continued to speak. "The other apprentices wanted to give you a name. One of them said we should call you Lumi." and cocked her head. "Should we bestow that name on you love?" and smiled at her.

When the apprentices approached to bathe her and redress her, she slowly stood up. "Please make sure to keep Lumi warm, and I think we need to send word to my daughters and sons, and see if anyone knows her..." and as each apprentice complied to her demands, she gave Lumi's hand a squeeze. "Be well my lady, you are in safe hands." and carefully hefted Ayla as she rose to her feet and made sure to close the curtains to give her the utmost privacy as she departed, still confused about the foreign woman and her unconscious state.
