[center][h3][color=pink]Daria[/color][/h3][b]Location: Spellmaking Class[/b][/center] Daria noticed the eyes of her teacher boring into her with a somewhat angry and frustrated look. The leopardess didn't travel all the way to the academy to flunk out on the first day! She hoped the gods would give her a little of beginners luck as she truly tried and struggled to channel some of the world's energies into her hands. She wished she had paid more attention to those damn old druids in her tribe. Maybe then one of the great spirits would intervene on her behalf and grant her some desperately needed insight. She whispered a silent prayer to them. Her holiness answered. Daria sat there, utterly stunned as the [i]glowing woman[/i] admitted that she too could not channel magic. Not only that, but she seemed to calm the teacher down entirely. Daria began to debate the implications of this sudden fortune as Helena made a very generous offer. She could think on the message the great spirits were trying to send her later. For now, she pounced on the opportunity offered by her fellow cat-girl as she answered with a quick nod and a small smile as she responded with a serious voice.

A white cat in your class will symbolize luck in learning."[/color] It was hard to tell if Daria was joking or not about transforming Helena into some sort of minor deity. As for her other roommate ... she may have not been the brightest but she was thankful for the extended distraction the silly girl offered her.
