@Tybalt Capulet Tryna' work on a response, but given I'm currently sleep-deprived and have other commitments today, I may well have to leave it until tomorrow.

Caleb Martineau

Caleb gave a small nod, watching as his grandmother embraced the faerie woman. Pulling back, Juniper looked up and down at her.

"Forty years and you haven't aged a day." she said, grinning. "I swear, Lilac, you have to let me in on your secret methods."

Turning back to her grandson, she told him a few things. "Caleb, as I'm sure you've figured out, this is Lilac. She's head councilor here, and she'll be in charge of your lessons. If you ever have any problems, I want you to know you can go to her, okay?"

"I've got it, Grandma." Caleb told her.

Sighing, Juniper moved forwards and hugged Caleb, who grudgingly reciprocated. "I love you, Caleb." she murmured, before releasing him.She then turned to Lilac. "I'm sorry, Lilac, but I'm sure you understand why I can't stay too long. I'll be seeing you!"

With that, the woman turned on her heels and began making her way to the door.

Caleb Martineau

A small blue car pulled up to the camp. They'd arrived later than they'd meant to, but they'd gotten here. A young man and an elder woman got out, both moving round to open the trunk.

"You don't have to come in with me." Caleb murmured. "This is only so you can ship me off for the summer."

His grandmother looked towards him. "Caleb... you know that isn't true. You'll benefit from coming here."

Caleb shrugged. "Delia's magic is emerging. So Attie and Gwenn are with their friends while she's 'sick', and I'm here so you don't have to deal with me. I remember what it was like for Mum and Dad when mine was coming."

Juniper paused, before nodding. "Well... yes, you might consider that a part of it. But you're also here to learn the things I can certainly no longer teach you. This will be good for you."

The youth sighed, before shouldering his bag. "Well then... can we get this over with, at least? I'm terrible at goodbyes."

Nodding, his grandmother locked up the car and accompanied him to the mess hall. Caleb caught a glimpse of some of the others he would be stuck with - a pair of diminutive twins, and a guy and girl who were likely his own age - before his grandmother let out a gleeful shout.

"Lilac!"

Juniper and Gwenn

HISTORY: Juniper was once a counsellor at Remedy, a popular and well-loved member of the faculty. Those who knew her then might tell you that she was a skilled teacher, a good guide and never wanted for any more. But then… she fell in love. Alwyn met her on a winter night when they she took shelter in his library. He was a normal man, a researcher who wanted to learn as much as he could, be it history, science, arithmetic, or otherwise. His earnest desire to find truth and the passion for his work had its effect on her. And her sunny personality and her own brand of knowledge made him fall for her too. So she left her job at Remedy, in order to pursue her relationship with him.

Bowen was born without magic, but he was always strangely aware of things that should have been beyond his knowledge. Such as when an old friend of his mother’s visited, he already knew that she and her daughter were witches. But, aside from that, he grew up with a relatively normal life – and would even marry the girl who had once been his childhood friend. Caleb, their son, was full of energy and knowledge, but was never found too far from his younger sisters – always ready to protect them if need be. This family didn’t have everything, but their life was comfortable and happy.

But it seemed that this life was to be cut short. February 24th this year, a call was received, and Caleb answered the phone. His parents’ car had been hit by a drunk lorry driver... but that man had walked away without injury. His parents did not. As the legal guardian and sole living relative of the four children, his grandmother would be joining them the next day, to sort the funeral arrangements, before taking them to her home in the country.

Caleb has changed drastically since then. And, given that Juniper has to take care of Caleb’s younger sisters, one of whom is now experiencing her emergent powers, she reached out to an old friend – and assures him that he will get better tutelage there than she could give him for his magic.

Personal Information

---

PERSONALITY: Caleb, to someone who barely knows him, is a solemn individual, openly hostile to social interaction, and will respond vehemently to anybody who pushes too far. However, this is just a shield he uses – anybody who already knows him will remember the protective elder brother, the scholar searching for knowledge, and the artist who wore his heart on a paper sleeve. All these things remain, just with a more solemn gaze, and a fear of getting closer to others.

POWERS: His general knowledge of magic can be a little rough, at times, but when it comes to potions or runes, he excels.

HOBBIES: Caleb likes his alone time like any other, but he enjoys reading, drawing, and writing most. He is an exceptional artist, but struggles to draw something he cannot hold clearly in his mind.

ANYTHING ELSE WORTH MENTIONING: Be it a book, an essay or a painting, most of these things are marked by an Ankh. He also wears a pendant of the same symbol.

For those who may not know what an Ankh is;
