Maemi closed her eyes to avoid the magical light as best as she could. The country sun was always bright, sometimes even bright enough to blind if you stared long enough at it, yet the light that came forth from the portal was dazzling. It was as if Maemi had finally seen the white light of heaven. Perhaps she was, indeed, seeing heaven's light. All told and said, the invitation to study magic at this academy was rather vague. Who knew exactly what was on the other side of this portal that she so brazenly stepped through? What if the portal was a cruel trick, whisking her away to the middle of nowhere? What if this was where she met her end? Anything was possible, and Maemi's imagination did its best thinking of all the various possibilities that could exist once she reached the other side.

Once through the portal, Maemi breathed a sigh of relief upon feeling soft sod underneath her brown boots. [color=#dfbf9f][i]I'm alive.[/i][/color] She thought as Maemi adjusted her rugged backpack. Being raised in the country, Maemi didn't have much to pack besides a few spare sets of clothing and some personal belongings. A few small garden tools jingled against each other, but for the most part, Maemi had packed relatively light. Even if she had more to pack, her gardener senses would tingle inside, and Maemi would then take only the minimum that she needed. Her resourcefulness was something that Maemi was prideful of, despite that it probably mattered little how much one brought. Sure, the letter said only to bring what you could carry, but it never said that you couldn't get on Mrs. Tohru's good side and have her cast you up a pocket dimension to store anything extra!

She looked up at the group of five standing in front of her, through none had seemed to notice her yet. They all seemed older than her, but two of them stood out more than the three youngsters. [color=#dfbf9f][i]They must be the teachers, right?[/i][/color] Maemi thought as her eyes sized up the building. To a construction worker, seeing the academy might've been a cringing sight, but to the gardener inside Maemi, the academy was beautiful. The overgrown ivy and moss could have used some work, yet a beautiful array of various flowers also awaited Maemi as she admired the serene feeling rousing from the plant life. It was hypnotizing for Maemi, but she quickly shook the visage off before anyone saw her absentmindedly gazing the plants like a starstruck child watching their first fireworks show. No, she wasn't here to geek out over flowers; she was here to learn magic.

Approaching the group of students and teachers, Maemi took a deep breath and tried her hardest not to look like a dork with a big, puffy smile on her cheeks. [color=#dfbf9f]"Hello there,"[/color] Maemi said as she announced her presence. She clicked her heels together, twirling in a circle like she was greeting an old childhood friend. [color=#dfbf9f]"I'm Nakana Maemi, and I'm here to study magic! What about you?"[/color] Her voice had a hint of a carefree tone, as if she was a bit too energetic. Surely, living on a farm must've raised her differently than a city would have, and it clearly showed through her excitement for adventure. In any case, the letter never stated how long they would be at the academy, so why not try to be friendly with the other students? They'd soon be roommates, as well fellow classmates. If there was any better way to introduce yourself, it had to be upbeat, or so Maemi thought.
