Lachesis stumbled out of her lab, new potion held triumphantly above her head even as the rest of her sagged in exhaustion. "Finally!" She half cried, half rasped, only to drop the vial when several adult swans and dragons mobbed her. "What--I haven't been in there that long! Have I?" She glanced wildly from one creature to the next as they all nodded. They'd all been hatchlings when she last saw them.

Her swans gestured at the potion lying shattered on the ground, and Lachesis grinned sheepishly. "Never mind that, I have the recipe written down. Let's go home--I'm ready to sleep for roughly forever now."
Kestrad has been eaten by life. She'll probably pop back in occasionally.

Jessamine walks in chewin thoughtfully on the ends of her veil. "well, I just don't know," she says to the cascara butterflies hiding in her hair. "It's true I love the darker creatures everyone is so afraid of, but...". She flops gracelessly into a cushion near the window. "Herb related creatures would benefit my talents so much. I suppose I had better see what other magi think."

Ekaira, curled up in the corner with a book, glanced over at Jessamine. "When I first heard about the Herbalist's Guild, I thought it had been created with you in mind, but that's just me. The price for changing is a little steep for my taste, though. That's why I've stayed unaffiliated for so long." She shrugged. "I think you'd fit in well, but that's just my opinion."

The young magi student burst into the room and dashed over to the table, clutching a blue leather-bound book in her hands. "I got a new journal! My older sister gave it to me, and it's from one of the more expensive book-binders in Synara, made just for me!" she squealed, showing off the new journal. Twirling around, she dropped into a chair and held the notebook tightly, then sighed. "I missed Todessa's birthday party. And probably several other things because of that trip back home Mother insisted on. I hope the gift I sent Todessa is enough." Dark, her black winged feline entered, and she gently began to stroke him as he curled up next to her. "I'm back now, though." Sitting up, she looked over at the other magis. "The Herbalist's Guild? I heard about that. It sounds interesting, but I want to wait for a wind guild maybe. Or decide what kind of magic I want to specialize in first." She shrugged. "Todessa joined it, but I honestly don't think it's the right one for her. Dark Brotherhood or some sort of fire guild would suit her much better."

/wants to join.
Spoiler
Magi Name: Zafarra Treyvis Sistehm
Age: 17
Gender: female
Species: human
Goes by: Zaf

Appearance: Zaf is a slighty-tan girl with silky blonde hair that falls a little below her shoulders. Her eyes are a mixture of blue and green, the dominant color changing every day. She wears a hooded medium blue cloak that falls a little below her knees, with a dark blue scarf hanging loosely around her neck. Under her cloak, she wears a black shirt and pants, with black boots to match. Zaf is part of the Society of the Trident, and has the emblem embroidered on her cloak. She stands approximately 5'5" tall, and weighs 135lbs (or whatever is healthy for that height).

Personality: Zaf is very open-minded, and will accept new changes around her with relevant ease. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, and is very hyper around her close friends. She is very laid-back and loves to laugh, but talks a little too much. Some find her very annoying. Zaf will protest if she feels differently about something, and isn't afraid to get a little 'rough' to protect her own opinion. She enjoys messing around and wrestling with her friends.
Zaf is considered to be very loud and obnoxious by many, but is strangely a good singer. Her voice can sing high, in the middle, and somewhat low. However, her speaking voice is very loud, and she tends to talk somewhat fast. Her thoughts are erratic, and she has trouble focusing on/paying attention to something for extended periods of time. She is very impatient.

Magic: Zaf primarily uses water magic, but also dabbles in the healing arts. Little known fact: she knows a small bit of dark magic, but almost never uses what she knows.

Companions: Zaf is very fond of felines. She has a male kuras tiger, Axl, that resides in her living quarters. Other animals that reside in her living quarters include: Diablo the black tienko, Tempete the dark raiju, and a few winged cats here and there. She also has an unnamed donec fish swimming around in a small tank, with water gathered from Lake Lakira. Molly is a female ruan vaether hatchling that also lives in Zaf's quarters, but prefers to stay on the porch outside.
Outside of her keep resides only one creature, Astrid, the celestial dragon, given to her by a close friend. Astrid roams the world to her content, but will come to Zafarra when she is summoned.
She also has a male direcore hatchling named Roofus that likes to follow her around. c:
(and probably other creatures, but i'm too lazy to list them)

History/Background: Zaf came to the Keep from the Callisto Islands to study water magic. Before that, she lived happily on a beachside cabin. At the age of 16, she decided that she wanted to study water magic. How she was going to get to the Keep, she only had one idea. She ventured into the tropical forest near her cabin one day, searching for one of the tribes that lived in the area. Once she found one, she asked them if they had any creatures that could travel. They said yes. Zaf asked if she could borrow one, and they agreed.
For a price, of course.
Zafarra ended up giving the tribe most of her gold (which wasn't much) and a few trinkets. In return, they showed her to a group of narwhals. They spoke a few foreign words with one of the creatures, and soon enough, Zafarra was on her way to the Keep.
When she arrived on shore, Zaf went through the few things that she had brought along with her, then turned around to thank the narwhal. It barked and began swimming back to it's group. From there, Zafarra rented a minicorn at the stable nearby after bargaining with the horsekeeper, and made her way to the Keep.

Other: Zaf is very talented in archery, and the art of using one-handed weapons. She is considered to be a fast runner and swimmer. Partially a climber, but she isn't as good at climbing as she is running or swimming. Zaf is very persuasive and can get others to do her bidding with ease, and isn't afraid to intimidate people from time to time. She is very sneaky, and is an adept lockpicker. She can pickpocket things with relevant ease most of the time.
Zaf is definitely not good with potions or plants. A lot of the plants that she has taken care of in the past have died, mainly because she just can't take care of them properly for some reason. Her potions tend to be very weak (if she manages to create one).
Zafarra sighed and made her way to her living quarters. Just yesterday, she had joined the Society of the Trident, after making a deal with a strange woman in the Etain Desert and 'changing her face.' Roofus yipped happily as his magi walked, keeping up with her with relevant ease.

"Oh Roofus," Zafarra exclaimed, "Why must you be so insistent in following me almost everywhere I go? You almost got us thrown out of the library the other day; and I'm sure the librarian wasn't too happy with you leaping on her desk and messing up her work before we left."

In almost a mocking tone, the direcore pup barked, sounding suspiciously like a laugh. Zafarra rolled her eyes. Her cloak fluttered behind her as she sharply turned down the hallway that lead to her living quarters. When she reached her room, she unlocked the door with her special key and walked inside.

A muffled grah came from her kuras tiger as she shut her door. "Hey Axl." She practically breathed out the words. The water magi made her way to her desk and began to study a book about water magic that she had borrowed from the library. A winged cat hatchling leapt onto her lap and purred, demanding attention. Smiling to herself, Zafarra reached a hand down to stroke the kitten's fur as she read the book.

*A young girl, wrapped in a heavy cloak, slips into the room out of the snow and wind outside. She is followed by a black winged feline with thick, heavy fur. Once inside the warm room, she sheds her cloak, showing that she is wearing a pair of black breeches and a royal blue shirt. Despite wearing men's clothes, she is dressed well and it is obvious she is from a wealthy family. Settling herself in a chair, she looks around the room and beckons the feline to sit on her lap.*
Rather empty here, isn't it?
*The feline purrs in agreement*
Indeed.
*She settles back in the chair and sighs.*
I haven't been to this place in so long. Not since September at least. And now no one is even here.
*Glancing around the room, she lifts a hand to pet her feline companion.*
Perhaps someone will come if I wait.
