[@sassy1085]: Okay, um...

Neither of the backstories really work. Gail's doesn't because, um, if she was doing magic at home why wouldn't they believe in magic? Especially if they knew about the existence of a magic school like Ishikawa. And you can't really enroll in a school just by running away to it. ^^;

As for the second, um... I... don't really understand? It's verging into being overly dark though.
