[b]Name:[/b] 
Lovedaia “Lufu” Marden
[b]Gender:[/b]
 Female
[b]Age:[/b] 
16 (this is her fourth year at the Academy since she started when she was twelve)
[b]Personality:[/b]
Lovedaia is often seen as a naïve girl. She is selfish, petulant, innocent, and all that is associated with naivety except her streak of manipulation. While Lovedaia has a childlike opinion on most things, is prone to unpredictable bursts of randomness, and does what she wants, she will go to great lengths to fool people into getting what she wants. Lovedaia doesn’t see as what she is doing, when manipulating people, as bad, but as a means to an end. Amongst her qualities, Lovedaia is also ignorant. She doesn’t understand the sufferings of the world, having a sheltered life, and believes everyone should be as happy and optimistic as she is. Many believe she is not “all there” because surely one of her age cannot be this unaware. However, her innocence might just be a cold, hard mask to hide the face of an empty, bored young woman.
[b]Abilities:[/b] While poor at magic, Lovedaia is excellent at studying and has a great memory.
[b]Studying:[/b] Pythomancy and poetry because she either doesn't have the control for a certain branch or no interest in the branch
[b]Interests:[/b] Animals, adventure, poetry, magic,
[b]Dislikes:[/b] Tactlessness, stupidity, living a normal life
[b]Biography:[/b]
Lovedaia is the daughter of a wealthy blacksmith and a innkeeper at Gralimidine though her parents are now retired and have moved to a different city. 
Ever since Lovedaia was little, she was obsessed with magic. She kept waiting, with bated breath, for when she would discover her own wonderful magical abilities. When her mother tried to teach her privileged daughter the art of inn keeping, Lovedaia would simply ignore her and butcher her small duties. To instill responsibility, her father attempted to push her to help him clean his tools, she would simply run away until he gave up. Her life was amazing, normal, privileged. She didn’t have a care in the world. Her parents kept her away from the streets, and urged her to stay only near home. Growing up, she only had a few friends, ones made quickly as they passed through the inn, until they left and she forgot them. Lovedaia grew to hate her life; it was dull, boring, and predictable whereas she was lively, talkative, and [i]un[/i]predictable. This life didn’t suit her. 

So, when she discovered the tiniest spark of magic beneath her fingertips, she was ecstatic. She had been avoiding her chores, hiding in the attic of the inn and playing around with the old framed portraits that her mother abhorred. Whilst picking up a heavy frame with two hands, she tried to grab her ink well with the other to avoid tipping it. Unable to do so at the same time, she breathed angrily in exasperation and slapped the portrait onto the floor, her fingers splaying in the air like knives. With this frustration, came an electric jolt down her knuckles and the ink well lifted the barest fraction into the air, long enough for her to catch a glimpse of it, before it toppled over onto a painting of a fat old guy with balding hair. 

Immediately, she jumped into the air and tumbled down the stairs, shouting for joy with such exuberance that her parents neglected their admonishments. After that, she was sent to the Academy to study to her heart’s content. It was only there that she realized her magic skill was quite shabby and that no matter how hard she tried, she could barely do a thing.
[b]Equipment:[/b]
A knife her father made to protect her, though she has no clue how to wield it – it’s the sentiment that counts – and her mother’s favorite golden necklace.
[b]Extra Information:[/b] She can’t sit still[/hider]

Fun fact: Lovedaia, Lufu and Marden are all female Medieval names. Lufu means love, hence why it is short for Lovedaia.
