#st. ravilda students

[thethreemages]

*Smh @ myself for neglecting to post this here Dx*

But yeyee, first TTM art of the new year~ :3 this being a commission for my best bud @littlechaoticwitch :3 featuring my grumpy nerd boi Alyx along with his two new school buddies: Princess Noemi (lil sister of Hakem) and Prince Erik (lil brother of Xoe)! 😄 Together with their combined brain cells and need for chaotic misadventures, nothing can stop them! ;p

More bio info about them can be found both on DA and down below here~

-Princess Noemi Vul-Ka of Vul-Dor: The 16-year-old younger sister of Crown Prince Hakem the middle child of the family (as they have a younger brother), and the only daughter of Ruling Queen Furaha and King Consort Abioye Vul-Ka. A student at St. Ravilda's in the same grade as Alyx, and a Fire Mage, she is a creative young soul who is not only known for changing her hair color every month, but for her beautiful murals across campus. Ever since childhood, she has been close friends with both Alyx and Erik, with the three of them creating a whirlwind of chaos for the other royals to handle. The "heart" of the trio, she is a playful and lighthearted person who wears her heart on her sleeve, with honesty and compassion being her strongest traits, but she can come off as quite childish and naive due to her more sensitive nature. In comparison to her friends, she is a bit more mature as she is intuitive enough to pick up on the emotional needs of others, and she has a strong empathetic heart that allows her to lend a hand towards anyone in need. She might be an average student, but she excels in out-of-the-box thinking and more creative classes, allowing her to have the most friends out of the trio. She wields a chain whip in battle, which can extend to any length she desires and it can light on fire at the end to create more damage. Currently questioning in terms of her orientation.

-Prince Alyx Kronus of Kronia: The 16-year-old Crown Prince of Kronia, and only son of Ruling Queen Neura and Queen Consort Zera. A student at St. Ravilda's, a Gravity Mage, just by looking at Alyx one wouldn't think he'd be someone of royal blood or high standing. Especially as he spends most of his days studying alone or working on experiments, Alyx simply wishes to be treated like any other kid his age now that he's got more independence at school. As back at home was often "hovered" over by the royal court, palace servants, and even a bit by his moms (especially due to him being a sickly preemie at birth), Alyx is more than grateful to get some peace and quiet by now... or, as much peace and quiet as one can expect by being surrounded by so many colorful royals in his friend group. Huff and groan as he often does around them though... with how they've helped him become stronger by not just magic-wise but even recently with learning the ways of fighting with a Bo staff, the fluffy nerd's on the way to making the most striking impression as a Mage-in-training. Academic-wise he's VERY strict on being the "best of the best" in-class... which makes him the biggest rival to those like Noira Crane (and even Zia Aster, with how often they snitched on eachother for their mischief growing up). Has no set label for his orientation atm.

-Prince Erik Veralas of Laveras: The 16-year-old younger brother of Crown Princess Xoe, and the only son of Ruling King Yuneun and King Consort Gabor Veralas. A student at St. Ravilda's, an Electric Mage, and Alyx's roomate, the two have grown up together alongside Noemi, and Erik's more outgoing nature is a good balance to Alyx's more introverted nature. The trio have been known for causing a lot of mayhem and chaos when together, especially Erik as he lives for the thrill of adventure and performing stupid stunts for attention. The "muscles" of the trio, Erik is an easy-going and charismatic skater boy with the same lighthearted nature as Noemi, but also possesses a larger ego than Alyx, if that is even possible. Though he comes off as a confident and mischievous person who would rather find the quickest way out of doing hard work, he is a lot more intelligent than given credit as he is a quick thinker in battles and he can talk circles around people. Regardless, he is still below-average student (mostly copying off Alyx) and despite always hyping himself up, he is very insecure about being the second-born and overshadowed by his own sister, who he still loves very much. He wields a large sword in battle, which can create portals for a quick escape and it can be covered with lightning for worse damage. Very gay and very proud~.

I finally got this done! Been meaning to for a while now, but it never looked right to me for a while so I put it off till just earlier this week, where I finally got the motivation to make a new sketch that looked better than my first attempts. Anyway, I hope you guy’s enjoy Winnie’s updated ref~ ^w^

- Winifred "Winnie" Igalls(18) is a speed mage, and currently just working at her father's shop until she figures out what exactly she wants to do with her life. When she was born and for the first two years of her life, she lived in Tarrin, Everes with her family and though she does not remember much from that time, things seemed pretty peaceful as she was a happy little baby. But when she was only two, and one of Tarrin's deadly fires break out one night, did this change. She does not remember much of the fire, but the next thing she knew or realized, she was now living in New Grayle City with her father and older brother, her mom nowhere to be found. Although she did not remember her mom much as she was too young at the time, she has managed to hear some things about her from her father and older brother, though both don't talk about her much so her information on her is limited. She doesn't mind not having her mother around though, as for most of her life she doesn't remember ever having her around, and because when her family moved away from her hometown, there were a lot of broken up families in the bad area where they lived in for most of her childhood. During her early childhood living in Graystone, while not as traumatized as her father or older brother from her mother's absence, she still had a hard time in her own way. Her father became a lot more 'cold' in a sense where he rarely showed much warm emotions around others and while not 'mean' to his children, was very strict and stern with them on how they should behave and act, as in his mind he didn't want to risk losing them like he lost his wife. With her father not having a particularly warm or open presence, it made Winnie feel a bit timid in approaching him much with things at first, as she did not want to risk making him upset in anyway. She stuck primarily by her older brother Colden's side when they were children, as while he was quite the emotional and aggressive child, this was mainly to protect himself and his sister from potential bullies when they first started living and attending school in Graystone. Like her mother once was, it was discovered as Winnie grew older that she was a bit of a 'prodigy' with her magic, although she is very humble with her abilities, that and along with her wanting to stick closer to her brother allowed Winnie to attend St. Ravilda's a year earlier than most students are allowed to attend. She was quite the shy and quiet girl when first starting school there, keeping to only herself or her older brother when she was able to. Though onetime during her beginning years there she made her first friend in the form of Tula Valma, who saw how the girl was all by her lonesome at lunch one day and invited to eat lunch with her so she wouldn't be all alone. They didn't keep in-touch much after that, but during their middle years they were on the school's Zoomball team for a little while together, and while she fell out of the sport in her later school years she still enjoyed her time on the team and thanked it for giving her a confidence boost. While she's not out traveling like some of her peers post-graduation, her father did get her a second mana stone as a graduation gift, both as a small way of saying how proud he is of her doing so well in school, and to give her an extra place to store power in case she would ever need it. Despite her sometimes more awkward and soft-spoken self, she's a great listener and with her generally friendly and loyal disposition she has managed to make a few good friends during her time at school. One of these friends being Raider Crane, as they were both timid reclusives for the longest time and bonded sometime over that fact. Through hanging out with Raider a bit more she got introduced to some of his other friends like Briar Rhapsody and Lyra Montgomery, and after getting to know them more she started to become friends with them too, in time all four of them forming their own little friend group. While they all went their separate ways after graduating, they are all still close friends with each other and make plans on occasion to meet up when they all can from their schedules. Besides working at her father's shop, Winnie doesn't do much with her life, aside from occasionally going out to see the sights of New Grayle City. It has always been a secret passion of Winnie's to dance professionally, though, but she's a bit too shy and insecure to show off her skills in public or try to get the attention of any major dance groups or companies out there, so for now she's just content dancing when she's alone or sometimes with her friends when they encourage her to. Currently, although she never had much of a romantic life in school like her friends, there is one person who Winnie has started liking lately. She has seen him a few times out-and-about in the city when he visited, and from their few conversations so far he seemed like a real patient sweetie for her to talk with, different from some of the other guys she was often surrounded by growing up which made her ease up a lot on feeling comfortable talking with him. Although they are just acquaintances or casual friends at best at the moment, she feels hopeful that perhaps they can become closer the more they talk with each other~

going to post some original characters for a change of paste real quick

these ocs are created for a series called “The Three Mages” created by @purfectprincessgirl. They’re a group of misfits who cause trouble or steal valubles from famous places. 

Como, Mage of Aqua

Como was birth to a martial artist/mage that goes by the name Tanith, on a small island far from Graystone. There, he trained hand her and her 9 sisters (spoiler alert: her parents were amorous <<') the ability of water and it's meaning. However, while Como had the most skill out of her sisters, she lacked focused, of wrecking havoc by mistake. Thus caused her father to focus on her other daughters, as they were not so destructive. Feeling ashamed and mistreated, she fled her island and arrived in Graystone, there she joined [REDACTED] group of mischiefs and thieves. As a mage of aqua, she is able to manipulate water to her advantage, using it to attack/hold back her foes.

Iris, Mage of Poison

Iris is a graduate from St. Ravilda's, who was infamously known as “The Toxic One” because of her magical abilities with poison. While silent during classes, she would grudgingly give comments to those who thinks they are higher than others (*coughs*Ana*coughs*) and goes back to not speaking. Soon enough, it was revealed that her father was an infamous thief who left that life behind to start a family with a former noble woman. Because of this, certain teachers and students as taken a dislike for her. This, however, does not stop her. After graduation, her father randomly disappeared and her mother became sick to the point she can't do tasks, resulting her to find a job to support her mother and younger siblings, preventing her from traveling and doing a mages duty. She, however, became a member of a group of thieves. It’s a risky job, but she needs to do something for her family… As a mage of poison, she can use poison in hand to hand combat and create projections.

Terra, Mage of Firestorms

Terra is the daughter of a well-known graystone knight and a maid. However, her parents weren't married nor were they in a relationship. Her parents shared custody over her, with her father having more power. Her father expected highly from her and trained her to become a knight. The training were harsh, as it costed her a arm one year and a leg the other. She also studied abroad st.ravilda's, where had more freedom than she had at home.

Eventually, she graduated and one night, someone approached her and attempted her to convince her of getting revenge. Although she wasnt convinced at first, she finally snapped at bher father when she learned he killed her mother at a young age. On the run from the guards, she is asked by the same person to join her group. She accepts and the two goes off in search of others.

Sabine, Mage of Telepathy

Sabela is....well, she is rather secretive. All we should know is that she came from a faraway land who was sent to Graystone for reasons unknown. However, she seems to be into mischevious acts or vandalism/theft. She has recruited three people to join her in a group, promising money and/or a better future. As a mage of telepathy, she can read the thoughts of people.

Could we learn a little more about Aylen and Feora's friendship? :3 They sound so precious with their bond mentioned in Aylen's bio~

Oooh, absolutely Katy! :3 Been meaning to give these two their own spotlight anyway, thanks for reminding me! ^w^

-Aylen and Feora first became acquainted during Combat Training class, in which both girls decided to “sit out” of a tough obstacle course that the others were taking (and thus being teased by some of the “bigger” kids). Realizing they weren’t alone in being pacifistic, elven mages, Feora and Aylen bonded some more over their shared interests up until the end of class.

-The two were originally separated into different dorm rooms, with Aylen’s dorm-mate being very rude and dismissive to the elven girl). Wanting some peace from that type of cold treatment, Aylen sought out Feora and with enough convincing, were able to pull some strings to get their own dorm together at last.

-Some of the hobbies the girls had bonded over include plush animal-collecting, baking, and binging on their favorite tv shows together (one of which being an animated series centered around pastel-colored sheep, “Wooly Land”). It’d be a dream come true for them to go to their first big fan convention together someday 💜.

-Though Aylen often has trouble opening up socially to others, she’s alot more talkative when it’s either her and Feora alone together, or even around Feora’s garden back home as the Efornian flora there is very much “alive” to speak to. Aylen has even made friends with a living rose bush with its own community of pixie-people inside.

-One time for a Magical Science Fair, Feora and Aylen managed to take home the first prize ribbon with their experiment involving incubating a dormant dragon egg (thought to just be a big stone Aylen found in the woods at first). The baby is currently residing back at Aylen’s home with her mother Freya, as it’s a type of dragon breed that’s naturally “short” and easy to care for (think of it like an irl-Shetland pony).

-Through one brand of a random misadventure the girls got dragged into (namely, following after Haezel’s friends sneaking out late at night), Aylen and Feora already know of Professor Nile’s secret as a vampire (but of course, true to their humble & kind natures, they’ve both sworn to keep it a secret for his sake 🥺).

-Aylen’s always had a great fear of the dark (even now as a preteen), so much that Feora’s taken to sending out a dim, calming light aura to help her friend sleep soundly at night~ ☺️

*skids across the floor* ZephMila? >u<

Yeee, the icy babies~ 💙

Is the most affectionate: Both are in their own ways, but Zeph's definitely been quite a confident one to make his gal feel all warm and fuzzy inside~

Their most common argument: Hmmmmm, nothing really comes to mind? I'd say they'd be a pretty "chill" couple no pun intended lol imo

Nicknames for each other: "Zephy", "Babe", and sometimes Mila will find herself calling Zeph her "Penguin" when in more-playful moods lol

Who initiates kisses: Mainly Zeph, but on days Mila's feeling most confident she could easily catch her bf off-guard with some sweet smoochies~

Who kisses the hardest: Zeph may be an ice lad, but his kisses be "fiery"~ ;p

Who said I love you first: I would say Mila; after living most of her life without really being "doted on", to have Zeph been the one to fully-love her as she is would really help her loosen up to give the first "I love you's" 💙

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times: Zeph's got such a fun sense of snark to him, it'd just as easily stir up some blushy laughs if Mila got whispered some of them lol

Who’s the better cook: Hmmmm, well Mila's been a lil shy to try much of cooking in-between her usual schedule, but perhaps Zeph could try to coax her to try it? :o

Who wakes up to calm the baby: Yee I'm sure both would~ making sure to bring out the wooliest of blankets to keep everybody snuggled up warm too uwu 💙

Their favorite non-sexual activity: Ice-skating/snow-boarding, enjoying the local metal concerts when they can catch 'em, or for a more "lowkey" date they could just as easily have fun playing up some arcade games too~

1 sad headcanon about this couple: In the beginning of their actual relationship, Mila would probably still have a bit of doubt in herself if she'd fully "measure up" as a girlfriend for someone like Zephyr (and her mother being such a priss about it wouldn't help either). But eventually it'd come clear enough to Zeph that he'd quickly sit her down and reaffirm that she'll always be his girl... neither rain, sleet, or hail to keep them apart~ 💙

1 sugary-sweet headcanon about this couple: On one date, the two had thought of a fun lil creative idea to use their ice powers to make snowcone/ice cream treats together; sharing plenty of laughs and kisses through some sugar-coated sweetness~ x3

[thethreemages]

How about Zia and Noira?

Ooh, this sounds cute~ 😊

Is the most affectionate: Ooh most definitely Zia; Noira's always been a shy lil bean since they first met, but it hasn't stopped Zia from giving her all the hugs and snuggles to let her know what a rad girl she is 🥺

Their most common argument: They surprisingly rarely argue despite how different they are (as they often work pretty in-sync with their lil pranks as-is), but I guess there could still be some times where Noira's snark can come off a lil too insensitively at times (same with Zia's penchant for being "on top" of everything leading to overbearing-levels)

Nicknames for each other: "Zee" from Noira, "Noir" from Zia

Who initiates kisses: Zia, especially to cheer up Noira from a particularly "gloomy" day now and then ^^

Who kisses the hardest: Depends, but most likely Zia since she's usually the "bolder" one of the two anyway

Who said I love you first: Noira, most likely during a Truth or Dare game where she got "Truth-ed" to admit who she liked the most (and given their closeness at the time, wouldn't be much of a surprise to Zia tbh)

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times: Honestly both would; Zia's sass combined with Noira's snark make for one giggle-fest of a combo if they're feeling bored-enough lol

Who’s the better cook: Probably Noira, since her Aunt Freya used to babysit and cook the best homecooked meals for both Noira and her brother Raider to enjoy. Being the crown princess Zia barely got to make any of her own food as everyone just did everything for her, so getting the chance to try any of Noira's cooking would be a nice lil treat~ 😊

Who wakes up to calm the baby: The closest to a baby would probably just be their pets atm (Zia's cat Gruffin and Noira's dog Misty Belle), which both girls can alternate on depending on who's sleeping over at the others' house and what-not

Their favorite non-sexual activity: Spa days are always a must for these girls on the days-off they can get one; a full-special usual that both of them can enjoy and feel refreshed from

1 sad headcanon about this couple: As a younger kid, Noira sometimes got worried about Zia and her growing apart in the future (especially with Zia being the crown princess of Asteria, so there's no telling how many would've clamored to become her "bestie"). Definitely something Zia would always try to reassure would never happen in a million years, knowing Noira means the world to her more than anything 🥺💙

1 sugary-sweet headcanon about this couple: One time Zia surprised Noira to a nice lil trip to an Asterian petting zoo; something Noira was a lil unsure about until they got up close to a particularly fluffy sheep on display. And since sheep were always a big spirit animal of Noira's... it didn't take long for her to go into snuggle-bug mode as Zia later bought her a plushie of said sheep when it came time to leave ;p

[thethreemages]

lol bit more of a silly question, which of your OCs would you imagine owning a TikTok (or whatever the TTM-equivalent to that is :p)?

Heh, first ones that come to mind are Jingie, Raider, Kain, Zia, Prym, Hakem, Xoe, Embyr and Kiyana in terms of the younger adult/teen crowd.

In terms of older adults I feel like Devonna, Ramon & Naya would most likely have one since they’re among the more “chill” teachers connecting with the younger gen.

(-aaaaand for some reason I can’t help but feel like Headmaster Auran himself would run some kind of tiktok too lol. I mean he may be a powerful wise mage but he likes to have fun in his own ways too, y’know~? ;p)

[thethreemages]

I don't think this has been asked yet, but is St. Ravilda a public school (funded by the government, I.e. King Grayle) or a private school (funded by student's own money/tuition)?

It's... kiiind of a mix of both, I'd say? Its still technically considered a fancy boarding school since the kids are required to stay there most of the year (save for weekends/breaks/holidays) and have to wear uniforms, but it's still given some partial-funding by the King himself so it can remain an educational stronghold in his country (so much that he'll make some special guest appearances whenever there's a big graduation event/school assembly meeting).

[thethreemages]

*Claps* Soooo, since we're now in the evening of the great Halloween, who's up for a lil "spooky tale" straight from St. Ravilda's~*

Deep within the ancient halls of St. Ravilda's, on every shining night of the Full Moon... a secret stirs to rise up from the shadows...

As whispered and rumored by many students before, this presence is known as one of the spookiest beasts imaginable within Terra... and one who somehow made this place the forever home to lurk in. Though only a rare few have been bold enough to fully seek this creature out, accounts tend to say it bares the sharpest of teeth and blood red eyes... features most commonly known for the elusive Vampire species...

Mysterious as they are, they have long existed in folklore as being among the strongest fantasy creatures in just how agile and ruthless they are towards their "prey". With just a single bite of their razor-sharp teeth, they could easily drain and devour whoever dares to come near them... which could very well explain the strict lockdowns always being firmly-placed around these Full Moon nights (and especially so towards events like a Blood Moon, where Vampires can strike the "hardest" according to past accounts)

Yes, for all intents and purposes the current faculty and staff have more than the right to keep their school protected against such a beast... both inside and out of the premises once light's out...

...except, if only those same bold students could've been just a bit more bold to seek out this creature up in-person... perhaps they'd realize that its not their safety they should worry about, but in fact... the Vampire's...

[thethreemages]

In terms of your general cast, who would you say is the best-to-worst set of parents within TTM?

Hmmm... interesting question there, anon :o. The parents within TTM tend to vary a bit per character background, but here's some general rankings I've thought of (in no particular order per-category):

(-CW ahead for the "Worst Parents" section for mentions of ab*use-)

"Best"/Most Pure Parents: -General Ivor, Father to Tula (*Strongly protected and doted on his dear Tula as she grew up, never once blaming her for her mother's passing as instead he viewed her more as the "blessing" to brighten up his life again after such a heavy loss*) -Meradyth Fletcher, Mother to Prym (*Sacrificed alot to keep her daughter safe following what happened to Luka, imparting alot of her own knowledge/skills to guide Prym into being a strong, dedicated fighter in her own right today*) -Alastair & Devonna Corvus, Parents to Luna (*While technically more "new" at parenthood since they only have their one baby rn, they're still generally considered pretty chill and caring parental figures to the younger crowd around them, from Alastair's fellow comrades to Devonna's students at St. Ravilda's*) -Queen Vira, Mother to Embyr (*An ever-patient and loving mother to her little girl, despite being so different in temperament they retain a strong bond with eachother for how much Vira advocated for protecting hybrid/half-Daemon children like Embyr*) -Queen Ceraeza, Mother to Autem & her sisters (*As smart and warm-hearted as ever, Ceraeza was generally always the one key to bring her kingdom and family together. Teaching her girls all she knew about life and how to be good princesses in their own ways, but also making sure they knew they're as important/beloved in just being themselves too. She and Vira would make for good friends in this regard.*) -Madame Iantha, Mother to Cable (*Despite the hardships in her marriage to Boss Byzantine, she and her son never lost sight of their bond over the years... and now that they're both freed from "his" influence, they're eager to start over in making up for lost time*)

"Flawed" (but well-meaning) Parents: -King Grayle, Father to Elas & Kain (*Due to the years of him firmly ruling the kingdom, the King wasn't always as properly attentive as he should've been to his sons... especially with the recent years of him pushing for Elas to take over the throne (leading to some resentment on Kain's end due to feeling "ignored"). Deep down he truly does love his children though, despite his struggles to open up more "emotionally" given his troubled past...*) -King Elken, Father to Autem & her sisters (*While he fiercely loves his family to the core, his arrogance and overprotective nature would often get the better of him as his "little girls" grew up. Almost had a fallout with his eldest Autem because of his growing overbearing-attitude... but once they were able to put their differences aside to save Ceraeza, things have softened for the better now that the whole family's back in one place. Though still pretty snooty in alot of ways, his pride will always be most towards his family's well-being*) -Lachlan & Vinia Crane, Parents to Raider & Noira (*A couple that were often too caught up in their work/constantly pushed for "success" to the point of overwhelming their children growing up. Eventually saw the error of their ways however, once Raider put his foot down and left on his own path... causing them to start pulling back their previous strictness to be more attentive & supportive to Noira (and hopefully patch things up with Raider too, once he's ready to come back home)*) -Mircella Zoras, Mother to Zedri (*With her husband/father-in-law's heavy influence on Zedri growing up, Mircella didn't have much of a say in terms of raising him by her end. As he became pretty spoiled she had a hard time fully-connecting to him/vice-versa (even moreso once she got imprisoned), but underneath it all Mircella had honestly always loved and wanted the best for her little boy. She hopes she'll be able to make amends with him once she gets freed from prison soon, even if he's making his own path as a traveling mage now*)

"Worst" Parents: -Elyvia White, Mother to Ana & Mila (*your basic "karen"/pageant mom in every sense of the word; self-centered, pretentious yet tries to hide her toxicity with sugary-sweet words. Constantly tries to mold her daughters to be "perfect" little ladies whilst ignoring their actual feelings, especially towards her younger daughter Mila (and even to her "favorite" Ana back in the days when she was dating Kaz)*) -Sienna Rossero, Mother to Kain (*Cared only for money and didn't show much genuine care for her son, aside from her family's side nudging her to use him to overthrow Graystone. What she has planned for him now that she's back in the country's vicinity is unclear, but one would be foolish to trust her...*) -Zeric Zoras, Father to Zedri (*Much like his father he carried alot of toxic, heavily-dated values that really rubbed off on his son for the longest time. Preferred to "spoil" Zedri to get him out of his hair than actually tending to him like a proper father should've*) -Odin Crane, Father to Lachlan & Freya (*Back in the day he was a lying cheater of a man, blaming others for his own mistakes to the point of abandoning both his children to go "reclaim" his glory. Neither Lachlan or Freya want anything to do with him by this point, for how long he's disgraced the Crane family name with his antics*) -Boss Byzantine, Father to Cable (*Treated Cable more like a weapon than a son over the years, never showing any kind of heart or care whenever they weren't in training. Tensions grew worse when Cable was growing up and started gaining his own independence, and now by the point of the Boss being "gone"... Cable is more than thankful for that*) -Mr. & Mrs. Espinoza, Parents to Rosabel (*Were always more self-focused on wealth and reputation matters than their daughter, not being willing to hear her out for being harassed in favor of appeasing the Zoras family in their circle.*)

Forgive me I'm a lil confused, but is Adam considered a third year of the 'highschool' division of St. Ravilda's? Or throughout the whole 7 year system?

Ahh, my bad I must've forgotten to had made this a separate post awhile back; but basically St. Ravilda's goes through a five-year schooling system- from the 8th grade (middle/junior high school) to the 12th grade (end of highschool). It generally looks like this:

First year = 13-14 (first-enrollment age/junior high)

Second Year = 14-15 (freshman year)

Third Year = 15-16 (sophomore year)

Fourth Year = 16-17 (junior year)

Fifth Year = 17-18 (graduating age/senior year)

It can vary a lil sometimes since there can be some students who either start late/early in the system than some other kids (like where kids are moved up ahead if they're seen as "gifted", or held back due to poor grades/bad behavior/etc.). Hope that makes sense! 👍

[thethreemages]

W e lp, been meaning to finally get around to introducing this lil binch magnet and thus... here he is; the one and only Lord Zoras himself, one of the bigger antagonists within the TTM-verse (Kaz's crew basically being nothing compared to this smug asshole).

As for how exactly he became to be such a binch magnet itself? Well... lets find out~ (whether here or through my other DA link, hope you all enjoy reading! ;p)

Zedri Zoras (age 23) was born as the beloved, only son to the then-Lord and Lady Zoras, a proud pair of nobles who spoiled their boy rotten with the many luxuries he could've ever asked for. Priceless toys, bountiful sweets, the finest of clothes, he was practically the "little prince" of the household... so much that in some ways, Zedri believed he really was royalty. Day by day this would continue on with a growing wariness among the fellow house-servants... up until the fateful event that would forever shake up the Zoras household. The day his parents, desperate to continue their lavish lifestyles no matter what... ended up getting arrested with charges of fraud, scamming, theft... and in some rumors, some potential treasonous affiliations with underground crime circles. Everything Zedri ever knew was snatched away from then on... leaving there no other choice but for him to be sent off to live with his only other-living blood relative... his beloved grandfather, the former headmaster of St. Ravilda's Mage Academy.  Now the aging old man Zoras was quite "infamous" by this point in time... forever disgraced from his proud headmaster days due to his increasing cruelty to certain students of his, whilst attempting to manipulate a few select others as potential "apprentices" of his. The only other supporters he had left were his son and daughter-in-law... but with them out of the picture by now, all was left was the young lad Zedri. Eager to be entertained by his grandfather's numerous "mighty" stories of heroism, magehood and other "daring" feats... it didn't take long for the two to develop a close bond with one another even as they were alone in the rather "empty" mansion walls. Just like the old man, Zedri had inherited Strength magic that was picked up well in his early years... and sensing such magical prowess, his grandfather was quick to try and train the boy to pick up where he no longer could (now that he long-retired from his own mage days).  Within the coming years, Zedri would continue to grow up into a strong young man... even being imparted the dated-beliefs from his grandfather about maintaining "tradition" over all else. Men like him being the dutiful providers, women being the subservient "arm-candy" when needed, offense-magic being the top priority over defense or healing... the list went on.  Still, Zedri's skills weren't to be ignored for very long... as once he was old enough he got sent off to a different mage academy that rivaled that of St. Ravilda's; the Gilded Prime Mage Academy. Quickly rising to the top of his class in terms of both academics and popularity, Zedri would carry on his perpetually hotshot ego well by the time he graduated... making quite a few enemies along the way such as Prince Elas Grayle (whom he encountered a few times on various school competitions). Still, the few "complaints" he'd get overtime failed to hinder Zedri's spirit much... as now that he was a grown adult (and soon inherited his parents' estate as the "new" Lord), he was free to carry on trying to spread about his grandfather's "rightful teachings" in the traveling mage business. That and another lil "side venture" of his trying to land himself the most proper lady as his "future bride"... not even caring for their own input so much as they make him look good. Rightfully so, this has landed him with... quite a growing list of complaints from said women (such as one particular Earth mage who firmly stood against him a long while ago)... but to the ever-egotistical Lord himself, nothing would stop him from fulfilling his grandfather's goal of "giving the old ways back" to the proud land of Terra... ----------------- (Fun Facts): -Within the Zoras family, its always been a tradition to name each boy born after a Z-related name. Zedri's is derived from the irl name of Cedric (which (ironically) translates to "kindly and beloved") -Zedri's closeness with his grandfather could be linked to them sharing an "aura bond" together; a special type of phenomenon in which two mage relatives are born with identical

auras to allow a near-telepathic connection with eachother. Zedri can hear a pang of his grandfather's voice at the back of his head, sense certain emotional changes, enhance his own strength magic with him nearby, and vice-versa. -Zedri's own mother was originally arranged to marry Prince Caius, King Grayle's older brother who had perished in the "Wraith Night" war many years ago. Out of spite and heartbreak, Caius' fiancee scorned the Graystone royal family and went off to marry into the Zoras family instead. As proud as Zedri is of his heritage... part of him can't help but feel salty that he was this close to being legitimate royalty... -Knowing of his grandfather's connections to past St. Ravilda's pupils, Zedri can't help but try to find out ways to "maintain" old alliances like that to further increase his influence as a nobleman. Not too surprisingly, such "attempts" haven't exactly turned out well in his favor...  -Within his own mage group, Zedri has Ana White being enlisted as a member of it (as recommended by her eager-socialite of a mother). Despite her mom's urging to "make friendly" with such a man like Zedri... Ana's always been rather uncomfortable and irritated with how selfish and chauvinistic Zedri's proven to be as a mage leader. Always hogging most of their mage mission earnings to himself, waving off Ana as some "pretty lil novice who should keep quiet", and not-so-subtly making some rather unsavory remarks regarding her friend group (including Tawnie and Kaz's crew). Unfortunately, knowing the difficulty of Healer mages making much successes on their own within the world of Terra... Ana feels like she has no choice but to put up with Zedri's behavior if it means keeping at least some food on the table for herself (and an ever-pleased smile on dear mommy's face).

I know you mentioned a couple here and there, but what are some of the other ‘famous’ or well-known schools of Terra like?

“St. Judah’s Calvary” is an all-boys school that Lord Zedri Zoras attended (he would’ve gone to Ravilda’s had his grandfather not been kicked off as the headmaster). They’re quite a posh, almost militant school for how assertive and stern their rules of conduct are to breed only the “strongest” of male mages.

“St. Evelia’s Prime” is an all-girls school that had those like Vinia Crane, Queen Rhea and Everna Lockwood attend a long while ago. They’re also a pretty well-to-do academy that has an almost-religious holding for how they try to instill a sense of poise, elegance and propriety among their students.

“St. Terrace Veil” is a school dedicated to non-human students (primarily Elves), situated a lil up in the mountains and secluded from others. Not quite as strict as other schools, but it’s a bit of a “sheltering” environment compared to something more open like Ravilda’s.

“St. Holdr Crest” is a school that Muet Lumiele attended, being moreso dedicated to lower-level magic that doesn’t usually get alot of coverage in the “big” mage schools. They’re often known in the past as the best place to find defense and Healer Mages for those wanting to start their own traveling mage group.

W O O, so I'm back a bit from the art-grave to finally upload this piece I had completed a lil while ago... the pic in question being some slight redesign/touchups for two of my central side characters of TTM, Noira and Raider Crane~ 💙 Just to keep things a lil fresh and reflecting a bit better of their current character portrayals, so I hope you all enjoy! ^^

More info about both characters can be found below (and here on DA too)~

-Noira Crane (age 16) is Raider's younger sister, Princess Zia's best friend and currently enrolled at St. Ravilda's Mage Academy. A generally stoic and poised young lady with a rather sharp tongue than many would expect... often expressed through well-placed snark at those trying to interrupt her and Zia's "fun" (aka: sneaking around and setting up pranks around the school). When she's not busy hanging with Zia and keeping up their rather limited cheer squad these days, Noira could often be seen competing heavily for maintaining her place up above the top ranked students (of which a certain white-haired prince keeps trying to secure that spot for himself). Underneath her "well-to-do" exterior, however... lies a deep-down insecure girl who often feels pressured to bottle up her feelings, especially with the amount of pressure her parents (Lachlan & Vinia) put on both her and her brother Raider growing up. Combined with the strain put on from Raider's falling out with their parents a few years back... it's left Noira rather scared to delve too much into her own natural Water Mage abilities for fear she can't measure up (even with her folks trying their best to "dial back" for her sake, since she's their only remaining child living with them now). The few things in life that can truly bring a sense of peace and smiles to her face are Zia's company, the success of beating her rivals, and the never-ending bond she and Raider share between eachother... no matter the distance, no matter what.  (Fun Facts about Noira): -She's usually never seen walking around without her beloved dog companion, "Misty Belle" (courtesy to my pal @littlechaoticwitch for helping to come up with the name :3 ). The fluffy pup given to her as a gift from her folks a few years back, Misty is quite a sweet lil lady for most who are allowed to be near her. Always eager to follow her mistress around faithfully, snuggling and goofing around the room when left idle, and occasionally chewing at the ankles of those who try to mess with Noira (like, again, a certain white-paired prince who never ceases to push his luck lol).  -She was named after one of the earlier Crane family ancestors, "Noira the Victress". Said to have been quite a powerful blood pirate, the present-day Noira Crane has... always been a bit unsure of how to feel about her namesake, despite her father and some other distant relatives seeming rather proud of it. She's still a lil curious to try and research more about her ancestor though, given how popular she was as a subject for numerous campfire stories.  -Noira has been diagnosed as nearsighted from the time she was in elementary school, and thus is never seen without her favorite pair of horn-rimmed glasses (an aesthetic picked up from her favorite aunt, Freya).  -While her parents have officially stated for Noira to be the heir to their Crane Corp Industries business, Noira is still conflicted in herself of what she wants to do in life by the time she graduates. Whether it'd be to try out being a traveling Mage, or join more of Zia's royal court down in Asteria... its hard for her to decide atm.  -Being born a rather tiny and frail baby, Noira was always watched like a hawk by the family-hired medical professionals to keep her safe and protected. She's required to carry a couple EpiPens with her on the day-to-day with how many allergies she has, and Zia always tries to remember to keep a nice lil bag of snacks with her too in case her friend's blood sugar dips too low (as does Raider when he and Noira get to hang out on their own).  ============= -Raider Crane (age 21) is Noira's older brother, one of Kain's old school friends and currently making it big as an extreme stunt performer/traveling Electric mage. A bright, cheerful and fun-loving young man who lives to make others smile... whether it'd be for his own friend group or the crowds of audiences who clamor to come see his shows. Yet even with so much going well for him now... it wasn't always the easiest for him growing up before. Living under the roof of his folks who

always kept a tight grip

on him being "the best" (especially by his father), and even facing it worse with some bullying by Kaz's crew at school... it left Raider pretty timid and reclusive for the longest time. Only once others like Kain, Lyra, Briar and a few others taking the time to approach him did his true loveable goofball nature started to sprout for good... but at the same time, something just felt "missing" within Raider that didn't really sit right with him. Knowing how much of a rut he'd be bound to stay in if he kept up things how they were now... he decided by his last few years of Ravilda's to "change" himself for the better. From getting a new "bolder" punk look, working out and bulking over the summer, and taking some social sessions with fellow popular girl Dyani to gain some confidence in himself... Raider returned to the halls of the academy with a brighter, more-outgoing outlook on life now. He started gaining popularity left and right, taught Kaz's crew a thing or two when they tried one last chance to mess with him, and by graduation he was already on his way to make it big after getting signed on by an aspiring tv crew. All was going fine for once... yet back at home, things escalated between his parents (who still didn't seem understanding of Raider's personal dreams over their family business) to where Raider just... couldn't take it anymore. Many words were exchanged that night that prompted the young man to up and leave the family home for good... and never turning back except to now and then check up on his baby sister Noira. As the few years passed up until now, things are still going good for Raider in terms of his work and bond with Noira... though things remain relatively strained and awkward in regards to him and his parents. Whether things will ever truly improve or not with them is unclear as of now... but for the time being, Raider is at least content with himself on being able to finally shape his life the way it should be; fun, free, and fulfilling in its own way~.  (Fun Facts about Raider): -Back at his own personal trailer, Raider has a trio of cats he adopted awhile back named "Sprocket", "Buzz", and "Zipps". Having always been a strong cat person since he was a boy (but never getting the chance to own one growing up, given his mom's allergy to them), it was a big dream of Raider's to get his own feline companion by the time he moved out of the house. He went to the shelter to find three kitten siblings who were tossed aside and overlooked among some other animals... and being the big sweetie as he was, Raider was all too eager to scoop them up to adopt them all together. They're quite a funny bunch who tend to get into some trouble if left unsupervised, but are very much loyal to Raider either way with how often they'll form some "snuggle piles" with him once he's off-of-work.  -Raider gained his name from his paternal great-grandfather, Raider "The Swiftest" Crane. Originally was going to be named "Odin" (after Lachlan's own father, as was the old man's request many years ago)... but due to a falling out between the two not long before his son's birth, Lachlan decided against that and gave his boy "an even prouder name" to look up to instead. As for the present-day Raider himself, he's always been curious to know more about his great-grandfather given some accounts about him being a "commander of the skies" (via-riding dragons).  -From birth, Raider has carried an eye condition known as "Anisocoria"... in which one of his pupils is permanently smaller than the other eye and thus leaving him with some partially-blurred vision. For certain shows of his that take place in some heavy-weather conditions, Raider is required to wear some specialized goggles to help him see through his performance.  -His current neon/cyan blue hair isn't his natural haircolor, as Raider was actually born with darker/blackish-blue hair instead. Used to grow it out pretty shaggy and long up until his teens (in where he often hid his face behind his locks at times when he was down on himself)... but by the time his last

few highschool years rolled around, he cut most of it off and styled it to the look its at now as a nice change of pace. Got quite a few compliments on it's initial debut, so Raider has long since kept it around as his own lil "brand".  -As most of his friends have all long since went their separate ways after Ravilda's, Raider is the main one who likes to keep arranging for them to meet up on the few downtimes they're able to take off from their schedules. Often likes to greet any of his buddies with the biggest, crushing hugs imaginable (being lowkey touch-starved as he is)... and while not always the most logical thinker in terms of planning, he's the main heart to keep the group afloat in times they start bickering or feeling lost with one another.

*jfc, my dumb self kept forgetting to post this here after already debuting her on my DA, hhh -.-;*

-Buuuuut yeah, after a long time coming and thinking... I’ve decided to do a complete revamp to one of the oldest members of the main cast (*that I’ve sadly left a lil neglected overtime compared to my other characters* :c), iss Rosabel~ 💕

Hope you all enjoy her new debut! This lil flower child was def in due of an update after all this time, so I had alot of fun putting some more “life” back into her with her upcoming new character role in the story~ 😊 Enjoy!

~(Bio Info Below)~

Rosabel Espinosa (age 18) is an Earth Mage who had quite a promising life going for her back in the days of St. Ravilda's. A straight-A student, class representative, nudged to make it big with the popular kids by her social circle back home... Rosabel was surely fit to become a truly respectable Mage within her own right, as many were sure to think. And indeed, her power to enchant the planet's natural plant-life was quite admirable to see on the field... so, with so many good things going for miss Rosabel... what else could she have asked for? ..Well, in truth... a part of Rosabel truly wasn't as confident as she'd try to play herself off as... as back at home, it was quite a "difficult" house to return to with how distant her parents were in their own social-climbing world. Nothing ever seemed enough for them to be as content with having enough wealth to sustain themselves as a family... no, to truly be "up there" to the big guys was their biggest dream above all. And they made sure to always remind Rosabel of that whenever she "dared" to do as much as come home with a slightly lower grade, forgot to turn in certain assignments from too many all-nighters, or even so much as told-off any of her "dear" popular friends for being nosey lil jerks to her when others' backs were turned. No, she just had to live up to her name as the most "perfect little rose", in their eyes... naturally, leading to Rosabel in question to develop more of a snarkier, uptight shell to others as time went on... Still... even for all of Rosabel's constant schedules at school, even she knew that she needed some form of break from all the pressures... so, curiously one day of seeing a flier to help kickstart up the Ravilda Drama club again, it piqued her interest enough to maybe give it a try. And wouldn't you know... a certain other mage was just as keen to join the club too, in the form of none other than miss Prym Fletcher. You see, ever since the start of their Ravilda school days... there was always something about Prym that always drew Rosabel in to want to compete with. With how she was just so calm, smart, pretty and powerful with all that dark magic? Rosabel would be lying if she said that didn't "stir up" some things in her... of which she insisted meant nothing more than a "challenge" to outdo the young goth in any way she could. And of course, Prym... always being the sly one for a "challenge", was amused enough to accept these lil games which would soon lead to plenty more "back-and-forth" even well up on the stage. Definitely made their plays performed all the more entertaining to watch by certain crowds... and for once, hearing their genuine compliments in both hers and their other club members' performances actually started to make Rosabel feel... "at peace", for once. Little by little, she was relaxing up in her school assignments to not worry so much about good grades... grew patient enough to let other students get the chance at council decisions for once, and even didn't really hang out much with the popular crowd anymore compared to her actual, "true" friends over in Drama Club. Even Prym, as much as Rosabel was still too huffy to admit upfront... turned out to be alot more fun and friendly to be around whenever they actually had some chill moments between shows. Yet... sadly, by the time graduation came around and Prym's group wasted no time heading out to start their Traveling Mage lives, certain feelings were left unsaid on both parties... and now Rosabel was left to pick up the pieces back at her family home, as she hadn't really found the time to think of what she wanted to do for herself... And... for once, things seemed like they were going to be okay... her parents were alot calmer now, their funds were stabilizing, and many were looking to have Rosabel potentially "intern" with them after hearing of all her potential at Ravilda's. All leading up to one fateful night when... low and behold, a young rich man by the name of "Lord Zoras" was all too eager to meet up with Rosabel after his and her parents started to befriend one another over tea. As much as this man was already giving her nerves... Rosabel did her best to remain respectful and even accepted a little dance with him to be polite. All was fine, really... ...until Zoras got too bold in his advances, and Rosabel (being someone who never really "liked" guys in that way to begin with) got so panicked that she smacked him away with a boost of her own magic... causing many stunned looks among the now silent ballroom. Following an even more tense ride home... things only escalated further when her parents started to berate their daughter for "embarrassing" them in front of not just their social group, but also such a "powerful" man as this Lord Zoras. Now knowing the true extent of her parents' greed, and how little they truly cared for her  after all this time... Rosabel tearfully made the decision to pack up all she could, sneak out when they weren't looking... and never again look back on the house she once called "home"... From that point, Rosabel spent the next couple of days laying low in trying to leave town... not having much of a goal of exactly where to go among all these mixed, whirlwind emotions. Somehow, she managed to find her way back to the garden areas of St. Ravilda's... deciding to hide out there by some of the sheds until Professor Ramon managed to find her sneaking with some leftover food. As much at it pained her at first to have gotten caught in such a position... seeing the genuine look of concern in Ramon's eyes caused her to break down in confessing what she was going through, and how little she knew what to do with herself now that everything was "ruined"... Ramon... himself relating to Rosabel as he too was in a "similar" position of societal pressures so long ago... was able to comfort her the best he could as he offered to help take her in for the time being, and even offering to the other teachers to give Rosabel some kind of position at the school to keep herself occupied. With enough thinking over and some suggestions by those like Professor Nile and even librarian Capella... Headmaster Auran offered Rosabel the chance to train as an "apprentice" to any number of the current teachers at the school, whilst looking after the younger generations of students who may need some "chaperones" within their own projects. Indeed, it was quite an adjustment to get used to for the young girl... but with enough patience, time, and caring guidance by the other faculty... Rosabel was able to once again relax, and feel content that she found a safe place to truly call "home", once again. ...Still, there may be some days where she thinks back a bit to her former Drama Club members, how they might be doing... and especially of what a certain Dark mage may be up to all the way out in Terra... but well, with all that she's gathered in the safety of Ravilda's welcoming her back, Rosabel prefers to remain content with what she has now... and to make sure she upholds to the promise she made to the Headmaster in always being there to protect and guide her fellow students on the promising paths of Magehood. Even if certain mischevious royals and rich kids tend to make said job a little "tricky" to keep up with sometimes...

[thethreemages]

Does St. Ravilda or any other mage school ever send students on magical adventures while still in school? Like in Winx Club whenever Faragonda sent the girls to other worlds or how in RWBY, teams were sent on missions?

Hm, I'm not sure about straight-up missions since alot of the students are still relatively young at the end of the day (from ages 12-to-18), but maybe if it were just general field trips to the magic forests/meadows/caves or something then that'd make a bit more sense imo.

Though I can see the stricter schools like St. Judah's Calvary probably having more of a bigger "boot camp" segment to their curriculum somewhere.
