Characters (sorted by houses)

Light

Drew
Daughter of the family that founded the Light House. Head of the Creative Arts club. Plays violin. Grew up with Wren and is crushing hard. A nice popular but definitely feels insecure and not worthy of it. Will be seen at some parties. 

Karter
Son of the family that founded the Light House. Head Student of the Light House. Protective of Drew. Pining for Anastasia. Involved in most sports clubs. Hates Maverick but will get flustered if he ever flirts with him. Hangs out at parties with Milo and Elric. 

Rowan
Rowan's parents work for Karter and Drew's parents. He's grown up beside them. Would know Wren and Dylan as well. He's a top academic of the Light House. Sleeps around with people. Goes to parties to flirt. 

Elric
One of the top athletes of the Light House alongside Milo. Head of the sports club. Best friends with Milo and protective of Drew. A total player and partier. Will always be seen at Milo's parties. Grew up with his dad. Doesn't know about Chase. 

Dylan
Parents work for Karter and Drew's parents. Passion for cooking. Grew up next door to Wren and is best friends with him. Rooting for his crush on Drew to get somewhere while hoping to find a girl of her own. 

Nico
Was in the Dark House but was sorted into the Light House after the academies merged. It's tense. He's awkward but trying his best. Still talks to Vienna and is trying to convince her to branch out with him. Not a partier but will go to try and meet people.  

Ezra

Alora
Quiet but one of the kindest and friendliest people you'll ever meet. If the values of the Light House could come to life, they would be Alora. Does try to stay out of people's way however. Doesn't really know what interests her just yet. 

Dark

Sage
Parents work for Maverick's parents. Started later so would have met Ivy and Maverick after those two already knew each other but still met before the merge. Clicked instantly and would kill for them. Is yet to realise her feelings for Ivy. 

Tempest
Quiet and reserved. Always by Mathias's side. Isn't involved in any sports activities but always seen on the bleachers studying or just watching during Mathias's training/games. Top student. Probably the only thing keeping Mathias relatively in line. 

Alarik

Dryn
Relatively skilled in dark magic but prefers to chill with his instruments and write music. He's more involved in the creative arts side of things. Will be seen at parties. Friends with the bar gang but closest with Auburn since they're in the same house. Will likely be re-sorted later. 

Auburn
Trouble-maker and party-goer. Skilled at fire magic. Involved in some sports. Knows everyone from the bar, closest to Dryn since they're in the same house, but is yet to catch feelings for Alextra and Eren. Also definitely attracted to Asra. Might be re-sorted later. 

Ovisia
Everyone has a crush on her. She's close to the top but on a different hierarchy to Maverick and Mathias. Is definitely creating some secret underground group because she doesn't like the system of the new academy or Maverick and Mathias. Hosts wicked parties there. Not one to be messed with. Hiding her fae ancestry. 

Maize
Close to Ovisia. Basically a right-hand type. You want to get to Ovisia you have to get through her. Part of her secret underground group. Good at reading people. Might be in a sports group but is more inclined in studying magic. 

Winter

Casper
Head Student of the Winter House. Head of Sports as well because he thinks he's cool and his father lets him do whatever he wants. Arrogant and cocky. Sleeps around. Still mean to Dawn but less fear of father and more sibling rivalry vibes. He's competitive. Hosts parties and most likely seen at everyone else's parties. 

Dawn
Wants the houses to connect to one another and looks forward to the merging. Still goes against her father and his love for traditions. Not the favourite child. Feels the need to impress people. Studious. Has to be dragged to parties. Friends with Eden. Close with Isa and Edur. Is secretly practicing archery to show up Casper. 

Isa
Is a little more open this time around. Closer and a little more supportive of Dawn but still quiet around her father. Part of the creative arts club but prefers visual arts and behind the scenes work. Doesn't like the spotlight. 

Crystal
Sticks close to Casper. Not a fan of Dawn. A mean popular who doesn't really have friends, just people who stick around for the association. Though, she is smart, reads a lot, and is often found in the library when not with Casper. Goes to his parties. 

Edur
A charm and a flirt. Closer to Dawn and Isa. Rolls his eyes at Casper but won't do anything against him or their father. A bit of a floater, doesn't really stick to one club or academics. He's just going with the flow. Goes to some parties. 

Hope
Follows after Casper and Crystal. Isn't as aggressive to Dawn but isn't close. The nicest out of the three. Studies with Crystal and plays sports with Casper. Specialises in healing magic. Usually at Casper's parties.

Kari/Delwyn/Bela
They're too young to attend the academy as students. Sometimes Atlas and Gwendolyn bring them along. They show up for tournaments and plays and performances to support their siblings. 

Wynter
Still chaotic and dramatic but not as deadly. Just out to annoy people. Will flirt with people he knows are clearly interested in others just to disrupt their relationships. Likes to annoy Karter, Dawn and Maverick. Hot but problematic.

Talvi
Surprisingly not an accurate reflection of their house's reflections. They kind of just enjoy the drama around them and are always looking for a good laugh. Sometimes hangs out with the royals. Usually on their own or following after another spirit. 

Spring

Adelaide
Close with Anastasia. Protective of her. On the fence about supporting her feelings for Karter or threatening him. Head of the sports club for the Spring House but still takes her time to focus on studies. Only going to parties if Ana is. Likely be re-sorted later. 

Aurora
Part of the Les Fleurs. Went to a separate academy to her siblings and didn't grow up with them. Hoping to reconnect now that the academies are merging. Best friends with Ianthe and only goes to parties if she does. Might be re-sorted into the Light House. 

Adley
Kind of mysterious and charming. Lost a close friend before the academies merged due to the outside threats against those with magic so sometimes gets hit by the sad. A dancer. In the Creative Arts club. Hopefully friends with Esme in this universe. 

Willow

Clover

Rosa

Summer

Vasara
From the prestigious family that founded the Summer House. Head Student of the Summer House. One of the top academics. Studious and takes her studies very seriously. Loves her sister but worries about her carefree nature. 

Kalinda
From the prestigious family that founded the Summer House. Head of their Creative Arts clubs. Much prefers the creative arts subjects to the academic ones and has no interest in being a top academic or anything. Definitely one of the partiers. 

Veres
Parents work for Vas's and Kal's parents. Flirtatious jock. Can be respectful though. Head of the sports club and participates in almost all of the available sports. Doesn't really focus on his grades. Seen at pretty much every party. 

Skylar
Close to Vasara and Kalinda. Her parents work for their parents. She's stronger than she is smarter. Involved in a few sports. Needs help to focus on her academic studies instead of just her sports or she will fall behind. 

Noah
The kindest soul. In the creative arts club. Big focus on visual arts. A talented painter. Will help out with backdrops for the theatre. Still pretty studious when it comes to academics. And still a great cook. Brings snacks to club meetings and parties. 

Kesa
Confident. Holds himself high. A reflection of the house's values but more protective. Always watching over his fellow students. Definitely going to make sure this merge doesn't bring about any bad business for the Summer House. Talks to a couple of the other spirits. 

Fall

Emberly
From the prestigious family that founded the Fall House. Hates her brother and would much rather see herself as the Head Student. Maybe even head of the whole family. Still a relatively dangerous person but still acts meek for her parents. 

Fallon
Somehow both an awkward and confident flirter and playboy. He knows the border gang - Ovisia, Maize, Delphine and Jett. Doesn't think he's attracted to any of them yet. Feels a little awkward in the Fall House. Goes to Ovisia's parties in her secret group. Most likely going to be re-sorted. 

Greyson

Gabriela

Makatza

Sun

Neirin
Head Student of the Sun House. One of the most beautiful students ever. Most people probably have a crush on him but he's too oblivious to notice. Pretty studious but secretly focuses on creative writing. Has to keep his siblings in line. Sometimes gets distracted by Griffin. Maybe being roommates will help him talk to him. 

Roxana
Goes by Ro. She's a bit of a troublemaker and a prankster. Head of the Sports Club. Isn't the type to be confined when there's a whole world out there. Competitive but curious. Neirin is constantly getting her out of trouble. 

Enver
A ray of sunshine. They're a total cinnamon roll. But they could kill you. They're wings actually can turn to blades when they're mad. So best not to get them mad. They'll go to a party every now and then when Neirin isn't trying to keep them away from crowds. He worries their wings will get people hurt. 

Marici
A klutz. A nerd. One of the smartest in the Sun House. But she tends to find herself getting caught in trouble because she's clumsy and slow sometimes. Neirin will be there to catch any fallen books. Can be found in the library. Interested in pretty magic, not good at defensive magic. Not good at defence in general. 

Hina
Her parents work for Neirin's and his siblings parents. She knows the four of them. She would most likely know Griffin and Cassiopeia as well. Both sporty and creative but isn't in a club for either. Likes to party but the chill, talking and drinking on bean bags kind of party. 

Haru
Another reflection of the House's values. She's rather beautiful, some even say she could compete with Neirin. She gets herself involved in both sports activities and creative arts activities to get a taste for everything and see what different people are doing. Talks to some of the other spirits. 

Lunar

Elara
Parents work for Rhysand and Vera's mother. Would be close to those two. Knows Athena. A creative arts student. Quiet and pretty but struggles at reading people and making close connections. Communicates best through her art. 

Eviene

Beck
Was found to be a distant relative of a fallen star. Feels out of place because she never knew. Still talks and hangs out with the bar gang but is also trying to see if she can connect to this ancestry. Participates in a lot of sports. Likely to be re-sorted later. 

June

Ever

Luna

Kay

Celeste

Ocean

Nesryn
Eldest of the prestigious family that founded the ocean kingdom. Head of House. Tries to keep his siblings in line. Has the power to turn his tail into legs and spends some time on land. Would rather spend the day swimming. 

Ezili
Second-born. She tends to keep to herself. Bit of a bookworm. Always in the library when she gets the chance. Is falling behind on her studies because she just keeps reading new books and trying to write her own. Definitely wants to pursue a writing career rather than a magic one. 

Siva
Third-born. They're a fun one. But they're also strict. They know how to manage and plan their time so they can be on top of their studies but also at every party. Tends to spend more time on land than in the pools and aquariums available to the ocean students. 

Eldoris
Fourth-born. He's the sporty one. Not the leader of the sports club though. Much more of a team player. Like the glue of a group. He keeps everyone together and is always cheering everyone on. Sometimes forgets to check in on himself though. 

Mira
Fifth-born. Twins with Kairi. Something about trouble and making it double. Mira and her twin are pranksters. They switch classes, trick people into thinking they're the other twin, and try to get out of events they don't want to go to. But Mira's the sillier one. She's more likely to get caught. 

Kairi
Fifth-born. Twins with Mira. Again, double trouble. Though younger by a few minutes, Kairi is the smarter one. She tends to be the one behind whatever schemes the two have come up with. Has to spend a lot of time studying under Nesryn's watch to catch up on missed classes. 

Nerida
Sixth-born. The romantic. They're really just looking for love. They do really well in potion classes but wouldn't be a top student since they're mainly just interested in love potions anyway. Reads a lot of romance and fairytales. Dabbles in some creative arts activities. 

Kaya
One of the few people in the Ocean House who was not born a species of the ocean. She's human but still has a keen sense of the ocean and the waters. Spends a lot of her time by the pools and spaces for mermaids and such. Bit of an adventurer. Would fall behind in classes if not for Leo. 

Leo
Half mermaid. Can't turn between legs or a tail but can breathe underwater. Tends to stick close to Kaya and takes a while to open up to others. He's pretty smart but he's quiet about it. Doesn't do much to stand out. Not a fan of attention or loudness. Won't be found at many parties. 

Harper

Talin

Meri
Just a bundle of sunshine and fun. Spends most of his time swimming and hanging out with the 'royals' or the other spirits. He definitely would be friends with the other spirits. Pretty nice to everyone. Doesn't have much of a focus though. Just trying to get by. 

Tech

Zero
A little uptight but also awkward and speculative with people they don't really know. He tends to stick closer to his siblings than others. Isn't a fan of all the magical houses. Focused on studies and sports. 

Ander

Jax
A quiet tinkerer. One of the top students but doesn't pay too much attention to grades and is just trying to get through. Doesn't like much attention. Close to Hinge and always fixing up their parts. Likes Thea but hasn't gotten close enough to call her a friend yet. 

Hinge
Could be a top student if they tried. Bit more of a troublemaker than anything. Their parts are much more outdated compared to those higher up. But they try not to let that get to them. When they need repairs they act kind of drunk and get a lot friendlier. Doesn't get involved in much academy activities. Hangs out with Jax when not sneaking out. 

Aria

Jynx

Morgan
One of the top academics but some of her experiments probably make her one of the most dangerous. She likes to work with both technology, science and magic so she gets some funny looks from those who don't like magic. Rivalry with Corey. Definitely an annoying roommate but is still nice. 

League

Chase
Was placed in the Dark House during the re-sort. Grew up with his mother. Knows Tyra but is yet to connect with her. Hopes to reconnect with his brother. Definitely friends with Andy this time around. Will most likely move houses as he gets character development.

Phoenix

Cassian

Isleen

Fae

Carisa
Beast court royal. 

Tane

Elyan
A relative of a group who stayed outside the Fae Realm when the portals closed in the og. From the Beast Court of the Fae Academy for this au. Tends to stick to himself. Has a few small dragons permitted on campus. Bigger ones are outside and he has to organise times to visit them. Doesn't really care for class work. Would prefer to hang out with animals.

Asher
Dark court royal.  

Chaundra

Valery
From the Dark Court of the Fae Academy. A demon. Dangerous, deadly, hot. Another Wynter-type character. Probably not too life-threatening for this au. Most people would know his name and keep clear of him. Surprisingly smart but doesn't try too hard. Wouldn't recommend pursuing him romantically. 

Lorcan
Fire court royal. 

Iridessa
From the Fire Court of the Fae Academy. She's just like the name of her court. Fiery and flirty. A dancer. In the creative arts club. Thinks she should be head. A little uptight. A lot uptight. Will be at parties. Definitely tries to take taken people just for the drama. 

Miyu

Jewel

Ivory

Topaz
From the Gem Court of the Fae Academy. Golden eyes and golden skin just like their name. They have a crown with topaz in it. The farther away from it the less energy they have until they die. Pretty and nice but can be uptight. Focuses on studies rather than other clubs or parties. 

Nimueh

Water court royal. 

Leonardis

Quentin
From the Water Court of the Fae Academy. Isn't a creature from the water but has elemental magic. He can control and manipulate water. Sometimes he can see visions in the water if he concentrates but he doesn't really like that. Does his own thing. Sometimes plays some sports. 

Blossom
Wood Court royal. She's very nice and very pretty. Head of Creative Arts. Her magic focuses on growing plants and she likes to hand out flowers to friends and people she just likes or thinks could just use a flower. She prefers to focus on creative arts and magic studies. 

Ember-Rae

Everly
Would be considered a Wanderer in the og. Originally from the Wood Court. She's a trickster and a prankster. She's your typical type of Fae that likes to play jokes and trick people. She looks innocent but can actually be rather threatening. Has strong magic. Doesn't really stick to one activity or club. 

Academy/Houses

Light
Values kindness and harmony. Azura and Bryn were probably the leaders of one of the major academies before merging. They agreed to the merge but are tense with the Dark House leaders. 
Head Student: Karter
Head of Sports: Elric
Head of Creative Arts: Open

Ocean
Values life and courage. There are swimming pools and specific rooms designed like aquariums for most of their students to spend time in. Most people are given a potion that can change any appendages if they wish to access both land and water. 
Head Student: Nesryn
Head of Sports: Open
Head of Creative Arts: Open

Summer
Values creativity and prosperity. 
Head Student: Vasara
Head of Sports: Veres
Head of Creative Arts: Kalinda

Sun
Values beauty and power. Obviously relationships are banned between houses but the Sun House is extra strict concerning relations with anyone from the Lunar House.
Head Student: Neirin
Head of Sports: Roxana
Head of Creative Arts: Griffin

Winter
Values strength, loyalty and tradition. Atlas is still a terrible father but it's harder to pick up on because there's more crowds this time. Pretty strict about relationships with students from other houses. 
Head Student: Casper
Head of Sports: Casper
Head of Creative Arts: Open

Fae
With the academies merging together, the Fae Academy disbanded their courts to become one house at the major academy. There's some clashes between the leaders of each court but they encourage the students to put aside differences. Royals will most likely be added later when I can be bothered.
Head Student: Royal-to-be-added
Head of Sports: Open. 
Head of Creative Arts: Blossom
