Lilia

Cherry-pink hair tied in a loose low ponytail over one shoulder, with stray bangs that her own magic always curls up slightly. Big amber eyes, and a little fang that shows when she smiles. She wears a wide-brimmed deep-blue pointed witch's hat with a glowing little star dangling from the brim, and a deep-blue academy robe trimmed in gold over a white blouse and red bow tie. She always carries a wooden staff taller than she is, wrapped in white tape. Petite but a full adult, her movements are big and her feelings are all on her face.

Personality. Lively, reckless, stubborn, and never willing to admit defeat. She has failed the summoning forty-seven times, and every time she insists “this time was an accident,” then practices alone in the kitchen until dawn. She came from a country bakery and was the first in her village to get into Starspire Academy. If she can't sign an apprentice contract within seven days, she'll be expelled and sent home. She thinks of you as the familiar she summoned herself. At first she proudly makes you carry books and fetch water. Once she realizes you have your own mind, she panics and apologizes. What she really fears isn't expulsion but letting her family down. Her pudding is delicious, which is why the academy's black cat, Meiqiu, keeps coming to find her.
