Description[]
"I'm Adaine Abernant. I'm the daughter of the Elvish Ambassador. I was at Hudol, but unfortunately, I failed the entrance exam to get into the upper school because I had a little bit of a panic attack but Aguefort's good too, Aguefort's- I'm happy to be at Aguefort, that's good. It's like actually, I'm better at the practical applications of magic anyway, and I'm good I, I, I- It's good. I'm excited to go." ― Siobhan Thompson
Personality[]
Adaine is a complex character whose personality combines intelligence, aggression, vulnerability, and a strong moral compass. She is headstrong and unafraid to stand up for herself and her friends, especially when faced with injustice or cruelty, such as when she confronts her family's harsh treatment of her or calls out rude or sexist behavior. At the same time, her rudeness can appear unprovoked, especially in socially awkward moments, such as when she invades someone’s mental privacy and is dismissive of their emotional struggles.
Her anxiety disorder plays a significant role in her character, often manifesting through panic attacks, though this improves with medication and the help of her emotional support familiar. Despite her emotional struggles, Adaine remains academically responsible, studious, and driven by a love for school and learning, which reflects her intelligence and dedication.
Raised in a wealthy, controlling family, Adaine grew up in an environment where appearances mattered, and many normal childhood experiences were forbidden to her. This has left her both naive and excited to try new things—like milkshakes or sleeping in a van—once she finds herself among her fellow "Bad Kids." Despite her pompous attitude, she shows genuine enthusiasm for the newfound freedom that comes with being away from her family's control.
Her aggressiveness is often a defense mechanism, especially when dealing with people who show malicious intent, and she's not afraid to curse or lash out both verbally and literally. When magic isn't an option, she’s even willing to physically fight if she’s overwhelmed by emotion. Adaine’s growing sense of independence also shows in her increasing resourcefulness after her parents abandon her, forcing her to be more frugal with her money and magic.
Additionally, Adaine's views on relationships are still evolving. She's one of the least sexually driven members of the group, and at 15, she’s exploring the possibility that she might be asexual and/or aromantic, though she’s not certain. This aspect of her character highlights her uncertainty and youth, in contrast to her otherwise sharp and often forceful personality.
Appearance[]
Adaine has blonde hair and blue eyes. Though she often behaves like a wallflower, Adaine is quite pretty. Her attractiveness has been noted by Fabian, Biz, possibly Fabian's mom and a group of Hudol students.
When she started her freshman year at Aguefort, she wore an old Hudol uniform.
Part of the way through the year, she goes to the Gilded Coin for a makeover using the gift card that Fabian gifted her. From then on, she wears cool skinny jeans, a dark blue t-shirt with a faded arcane polygon-like rune symbol on it, and a wool-lined denim jacket with a ton of very small pockets. The pockets of this jacket can produce anything worth less than 10 gold pieces. Adaine also wears a silver snap bracelet looted from the arcade.
She used to carry a large glass orb as her arcane focus, given to her by her father. Her familiar is a frog named Boggy The Froggy, who she briefly manifests as an owl to travel through the Nightmare King’s forest. At the end of sophomore year, she ditches the glass orb for the Sword of Sight, taken from her father's body.
History[]
Adaine Abernant was born into the prestigious Abernant family, daughter of Angwyn Abernant, the Elvish Ambassador, and Arianwen Abernant, a professor at Hudol College. As the youngest daughter, Adaine grew up overshadowed by her older sister, Aelwyn, who was constantly praised by their parents. This led to a strained sibling relationship and a profound sense of inadequacy for Adaine, as her parents placed immense pressure on her to excel academically and meet the Abernant family's lofty expectations.
Despite being naturally gifted in magic, Adaine struggled with anxiety throughout her life. The pressure to live up to her parents' ideals only worsened when she failed the entrance exam for Hudol College after suffering a panic attack. This failure was devastating, marking a turning point in Adaine’s life, as she was forced to attend Aguefort Adventuring Academy instead of the prestigious elven institution her family had planned for her.
Freshman Year[]
The Beginning Begins[]
Adaine is introduced at breakfast with her family on the morning of her first day at Aguefort Academy. Angwyn, her father, vaguely mentions a "ghastly business" from the newspaper. Adaine confronts him, criticising his vague remarks. He praises her sister Aelwyn’s research mindset over Adaine's practical approach. Adaine retorts that if he wanted them informed, he’d share actual information instead of vague concerns.
After Aelwyn snidely mentions that she gets the paper on her crystal, Adaine replies she can't have a crystal due to failing the entrance exam to Hudol. Aelwyn belittles her and the Aguefort Academy, prompting Adaine to cast Ray of Sickness silently, making Aelwyn vomit. Adaine sarcastically suggests that Aelwyn might be too sick for school. After Angwyn scolds them, Arianwen, their mother, asks why they can't get along, and Adaine questions why Arianwen only asks her. Arianwen brushes it off, and Adaine retorts bitterly. Angwyn then reveals that the Elven Oracle has died, to which Adaine cynically comments on her lack of foresight.
When breakfast concludes, her mother is unsure if there's a bus to school or not, and leaves Adaine to find her own way there. Her father gives her a large crystal orb, which she finds rather difficult to hold, but thanks him for nonetheless.
She begins walking to school with her sister, who brings up their argument from breakfast. She tells Adaine that her spell was being mean, even though she does the same thing, but it's different when she does it because its funny. Adaine attempts to cast another spell on her, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, but it backfires, creating a unique sort of irony to the situation. Through her laughter, she threatens to learn spells and find friends for the sole purpose of helping her ruin Aelwyn's life. Aelwyn continues to mock her until Adaine attempts to punch her in the face. She misses, twice.
Aelwyn continues to insult the violent nature of Aguefort and its students, sarcastically complimenting Adaine that she'd fit right in. She tells Adaine that she's trying to be a nice big sister for once, and advises her that Aguefort isn't the same as Hudol. They don't put the same weight into tests and academics as Hudol does, and that one of the best ways to prove yourself to there was to steal a book from the restricted section on the first day of school. Adaine refuses any more of her "advice", and mocks her right back. They part ways.
Adaine witnesses a fight between Fabian Seacaster and Gorgug Thistlespring, which triggers a near panic attack. Adaine encounters Penelope Everpetal, who tries to solicit Adaine's vote for prom queen. Adaine corrects Penelope's grammar, saying, "That's actually ‘fewer questions’". This draws the attention of Dayne Blayde, Penelope's boyfriend, who also corrects Penelope more loudly. Penelope says she can deposit her vote in the boxes outside the assembly and somewhat sarcastically compliments her outfit. Adaine walks away, barely suppressing a panic attack.
After the freshman assembly, Adaine passes by the library and spots a book laying on the counter in the restricted section. Using Mage Hand, she steals the book, "Watches and Wards", while the librarian's back is turned. She shoves it into her backpack and starts to panic, wondering why she did so. Making the situation worse is that Fig Faeth saw the whole thing and compliments her for it, causing Adaine to freak out that the goth kid thinks she’s cool.
Kristen Applebees sees her panic and approaches, asking if she's okay. In an effort to help her feel better, Kristen casts Light on her orb, but it only attracts attention, making things worse still.
Vice Principal Goldenhoard approaches them and asks if Adaine is okay. She stumbles over her answer, that she just 'found' the book, and Fig steps in to say that she's the one who stole the book, and that Adaine was covering for her. Adaine tells the truth anyway and apologizes profusely. Goldenhoard politely tells her that it stealing the book was not appropriate and asks Kristen to take it to Principal Aguefort's office for him. He tells Adaine that he's going to have to give her detention, but second guesses himself since Adaine seems to have an anxiety disorder. He sticks to it, though, as other students are listening.
As Kristen talks with Coach Daybreak about joining an adventuring party, Kristen sees Adaine, Fabian, Fig, Gorgug, and Riz being addressed by Vice Principal Goldenhoard. After Kristen receives detention for "bearing false witness" (lying about drinking vodka), she joins Adaine and the others. Fabian asks what Kristen did, and when Kristen says she "bore false witness," Fabian is confused. Adaine clarifies for Fabian, explaining, "It means she lied."
After others share their misdeeds, Adaine confesses that she "stole a stupid book" because her sister told her it was a good idea. Fig mentions trying to help Adaine escape trouble, and Kristen compliments Adaine for her honesty. As the group gets in line for lunch, Adaine remarks, "I've never eaten a surprise before," referring to the lunch options they're being served. After Ragh throws Kristen's Bible into a vat of creamed corn, Adaine casts Mage Hand to retrieve the book. She successfully pulls the book out, though it's covered in creamed corn.
When Vice Principal Goldenhoard and Mr. Gibbons arrive in detention, Adaine raises her hand and asks if she has to be there, claiming "diplomatic immunity." Later, when Mr. Gibbons asks about feelings and problems at home, Adaine suggests, "Can't we just do lines instead of talking?" When the other Bad Kids start running after hearing a scream, Adaine hesitates and says, "I mean, I guess if everybody's going, we should go?" before joining the group. After arriving in the cafeteria and seeing Doreen and the corn gremlins, Adaine exclaims, "Doreen!" When Doreen comments about it being "bad lunch this time," Adaine responds, "It was bad last time."
Clash of the Corn Cuties[]
Although she’s initially gripped by fear, the danger forces her to push past her anxiety and take decisive action. Adaine uses her divination magic to tactically assist her friends, displaying growing confidence in her abilities. Adaine enters the cafeteria with the other Bad Kids. In her first turn, Adaine moves towards the rest of the Bad Kids but is still not within range to cast any spells. She takes a dodge action, preparing herself for the fight ahead.
When it's her turn again, Adaine casts Witch Bolt on the corn ooze, dealing 8 points of damage. A corn gremlin attacks Adaine, and she takes 8 points of damage, bringing her down to 0 hit points. Kristen heals Adaine with Cure Wounds, restoring seven hit points.
Adaine casts Friends on a corn gremlin and persuades it to attack another one. She says: "That guy was talking about you; you should attack him! He's saying really bad things about you...Yeah, him, him! Fuck that guy, right?". The corn gremlin, swayed by Adaine's words, turns on another corn gremlin.
As Doreen charges towards Adaine, Adaine uses Mage Hand to take the ladle from Doreen. She successfully disarms Doreen. Doreen attempts to stand up, and Adaine takes an attack of opportunity, hitting Doreen with the ladle. Adaine rolls a 4 on the attack. After Doreen stands again, Adaine hits her once more with the ladle. This time, the blow is fatal. Doreen dies. Adaine is horrified. She cries: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry!" and vomits. Adaine has a panic attack. When it is her turn again, Adaine is still shaken. She takes no action.
After the battle Adaine sees that Riz and she are the only ones left standing. Using Message, she calls out to Mr. Gibbons: "Everybody's dead. Help us, everybody's dead.... Everybody's f**king dead, get in the cafeteria right now!". She attempts to stabilize Kristen with a Medicine check but rolls too low to succeed. Adaine is horrified when Kristen dies. When Mr. Gibbons rushes in, Adaine tells him "There are dead people in here! Do something or get somebody who can do something!...Right. Fucking. Now!". Adaine watches in disbelief as Aguefort brings Gorgug and Kristen back to life, seemingly at the cost of his own life and Mr. Gibbons'.
After the Afterlife[]
The episode begins with the group debating their next steps following the loss of three faculty members. Tensions rise as Riz proposes contacting his mother Sklonda, a police officer, for help, but the rest of the party—Kristen, Fabian, Adaine, and Fig—ultimately outvotes him in favor of speaking to Vice Principal Goldenhoard.
The next day, The Bad Kids attend an outdoor assembly led by Goldenhoard to mourn the lost faculty, learn about new changes at the school, including the reinstatement of the Prom King and Queen tradition, open faculty positions, and the installation of a new dream crystal CCTV security system. Despite her initial eagerness to ask detailed questions about the security system, Adaine is interrupted by her friends and prompted to pursue this later.
Later, while researching in the library with Kristen, Adaine’s intelligence and resourcefulness shine as they delve into the history of the faculty, religion, and the role of the Elven Oracle. The librarian provides them with three valuable books, "The Eons of Solace", "A People's History of Fallinel", and Arthur Aguefort's autobiography, "Abracadabra, Look at Me Now: My Life in Magic".
As the party reconvenes to share their findings, Adaine’s insight becomes crucial. She and Kristen discover a note written by Ostentatia Wallace, which Adaine translates from poorly spelled Dwarvish, revealing a mysterious reference to "PENY JHNY CRISTAL PALYMPSIS." As Adaine and Kristen return to the library to continue research, they realize the significance of the palimpsest—an object once full but now empty.
After school, Fabian orders a car to Krom's Diner. There, they drink milkshakes and spot Johnny Spells and his tiefling friends outside the garage across the road. When Riz and Adaine sneak around the garage to investigate, Adaine’s keen eye for detail allows her to spot a cracked crystal containing a female figure made of arcane energy. Realizing the connection between the poisoned tea and the cracked crystal, Adaine collaborates with her friends to piece together the clues.
The climax of the episode unfolds as Adaine uses her Mage Hand spell to retrieve the cracked crystal and car keys. The Bad Kids jump into Johnny Spells' car and speed away, closely pursued by Johnny and his gang.
Rumble Road[]
The episode kicks off with the group speeding down the highway in Johnny’s stolen hot rod, with Fig at the wheel and Adaine in the passenger seat. As the party is pursued by the tiefling biker gang, Adaine’s intellect and divination abilities are crucial in both deciphering mysteries and aiding in battle.
Early in the chase, Adaine takes the opportunity to examine the shattered crystal the group had stolen. Using her Identify spell, she confirms that the crystal is a palimpsest—a type of dream crystal that has had its restrictions and identifying marks removed. More importantly, Adaine senses that someone is trapped inside the palimpsest.
When Kristen casts Bane on Johnny Spells and some of his gang, Adaine uses her Portent ability—divination rolls that allow her to predict the future—to ensure Johnny is affected by the spell, weakening him significantly.
When the bikers begin attacking the hot rod and the Bad Kids themselves, Adaine shifts from defense to offense. Using her high divination roll, she casts Ray of Sickness on Johnny Spells, successfully poisoning him and turning the tide of the battle in the group’s favor. Adaine mistakenly hits the hot rod with Witch Bolt, damaging the engine amid the biker gang's attacks. Despite this misstep, she remains focused and quick-thinking, later using Mage Hand to throw dust in Johnny's face, disorienting him. As the battle reaches its climax, Johnny Spells launches a magical acid attack against Adaine, dealing damage to her. When the car flips in a dramatic crash, Adaine takes significant damage but remains in the action as Fig casts Healing Word as the car fully fishtails. Kristen later heals Adaine using Preserve Life and Healing Word, allowing her to recover and continue fighting alongside her friends.
By the end of the episode, after the defeat of Johnny Spells and his gang, Adaine emerges battered but victorious. The group collects key items from the scene, including a switchblade, a burner crystal, and Johnny’s little black book.
The Pixie and the Palimpsest[]
The group finds themselves at Basrar’s Soda Fountain, an ice cream shop run by Basrar, a magical djinn. As the party enjoys milkshakes and heals from the battle, they examine Johnny Spells’ little black book, which contains crucial information about the missing Aguefort girls and mysterious sets of crystal numbers and codes.
Adaine’s shares the insights from her Identify Spell on the palimpsest. She explains that the palimpsest is a powerful, shattered dream crystal that traps a person inside. The group learns from Adaine that the soul of a girl is imprisoned within the crystal, and Adaine suggests taking the palimpsest to the A.V. Club for further investigation. Adaine casts Identify on Johnny Spells' warlock switchblade. To the group’s surprise, Adaine discovers that it is not a weapon but a switchblade comb, doubling as a phylactery—Johnny's pact boon, symbolizing his bond to Gorthalax the Insatiable, a fallen angel of Sol. When Basrar offers the group an ice-cream-related wish, Adaine wishes for ice cream at an undetermined time in the future. As the evening concludes, the group agrees to meet at the A.V. Club the following day to continue their investigation.
The following day, the Bad Kids head back to Aguefort Adventuring Academy. After a brief encounter with Gorgug’s crush Zelda and a skirmish with Ragh, the group investigates Penelope Everpetal’s locker, where they discover pictures that suggest Penelope’s connection to the missing girls, including Sam Nightingale.
The group arrives at the A.V. Club, where they meet with Biz Glitterdew and his fellow members, Shellford and Skrank. When Riz and Gorgug explain that someone is trapped inside the palimpsest, Adaine insists on following them into the darkroom, not wanting Gorgug to take credit for her work. Inside, Riz earns Biz's trust by dubbing him "The Hacker." Biz suggests seeking help from Gorgug's parents for a power source. Adaine offers Johnny Spells' switchblade comb as a start. Biz laments that girls prefer "guys like Johnny" over "nice guys who, honestly, have a lot to offer." Adaine firmly puts Biz in his place, telling him that he needs to actually improve himself instead of waiting for women to lower their standards for him. The group decides to give Biz the gear after school, wary of leaving it with him during the day.
After school, Biz approaches the group in a trenchcoat and trilby hat and, once again, flirts with Adaine. She suppresses the urge to attack him and instead uses Message to ask Fig and Kristen to not leave her alone with Biz. When the Bad Kids visit Biz at his house to help unlock the palimpsest, Biz asks Gorgug to hide so that no one will see him at Biz's house. Gorgug doesn't realize that Biz is being mean, but Adaine criticizes Biz for his rude behavior and explains to Gorgug that he deserves to be treated better.
During Biz’s attempt to unlock the palimpsest, things go awry as energy surges within the crystal and a wisp of smoke escapes. Biz is visibly shaken, and Adaine uses her divination roll to help him navigate the situation without putting Sam, the person trapped inside the palimpsest, at risk. By the end of the day, Adaine and the Bad Kids agree to give Biz the time he needs to work on the palimpsest prioritizing safety over speed.
After securing Biz’s help with the palimpsest, Adaine and the Bad Kids settle into a bit of downtime, during which they forge hall passes to get Biz out of class so he can continue working on freeing Sam from the crystal. During this period, they maintain their regular school routine, attending classes while also planning their next moves.
As the last Friday of the month approaches, Adaine joins the group as they prepare to meet the mysterious contact they’ve been texting using Johnny Spells’ burner crystal. The meeting is set at The Black Pit, a gritty dive bar in Downtown Elmville. Inside the club, the group splits up to investigate, with Adaine and Fabian heading to the quieter front area of the club.
As the rest of the Bad Kids begin to suspect Zayn Darkshadow, the beat drops and supernatural transformations begin to erupt throughout the club—people morphing into vampires, werewolves, and zombies— Adaine and The Bad Kids prepare for battle.
During the Episode 6, Adaine is forced to hold her own against Jawbone, and almost turns into a werewolf herself.
Since Adaine's parents are fucking rudely terrible, they only buy her fake school uniforms, which leads to her request for a makeover. The Bad Kids, except for Gorgug, cuts class and visits a high end clothing store called The Gilded Coin where Adaine purchases a Magical Jacket that can produce useful items at will. She produced Fig's pet Oyster which she names Little Gilear.
Later, Adaine is asked by Aelwyn to borrow some divination books. Adaine does not miss the opportunity to make fun of her sister for being worse at something than her. Adaine also discovers that Aelwyn is sneaking out with Penelope. Adaine goes to investigate and meets the rest of The Bad Kids at Ostentasia's house for The Sisterly Showdown. Adaine shows off her spell-casting ability, using things such as Web and Blink to best her sister and the elemental cheerleaders in combat. During the fight, Adaine punches her sister in the face and has a successful use of Tasha's Hideous Laughter, in what many are calling "poetic cinema".
After the defeat of her sister, Adaine gets Aelwyn arrested, disgracing her parents and resulting in her officially leaving them.
During the Arcade Ambush, Adaine successfully uses Mage Hand to save Riz from being "downloaded." She also later discovers that Biz's memories have been altered and replaced, which was caused by Aelwyn, and that he is not actually involved with the larger scheme.
In Family in Flames, Adaine's parents do not visit her in prison. After breaking out and running to school, Adaine finds Watches and Wards on one of Arthur Aguefort’s shelves. Reading the first few pages reveals that only Aguefort or the Elven Oracle could remove the book, leading to the discovery that Adaine is the new Elven Oracle.
In Prompocalypse, Adaine partakes in the final battle finally conquering her anxiety with the help of Jawbone.
In the epilogue, she is said to have:
- Freed Basrar from his ice cream curse and wrote a thesis paper about it.
- Re-enrolled Zayn Darkshadow as Aguefort's first ghost pupil.
- Stayed on at Aguefort proudly.
- Began living with Jawbone and Tracker.
- Joined the A.V club and helped clean it up.
In Fantasy High LIVE in Brooklyn, she is still living with Jawbone alongside Tracker and Kristen. She wakes up on the first day the year after Fantasy High, and wants to make as good an impression as ever. However, this gets interrupted by a phone call from someone from Fallinel about the elven oracle returning now that Fallinel and Solace have reached an armistice. Adaine hangs up and then gets a vision of Hargis being killed and Aguefort up in flames, She gets to school and hopes to find this "goliath kid in a beret". Torek helps Hargis find the Bad Kids and they agree to help him. She casts Friends on Mr. Pepper, allowing her and the Bad Kids to pass through undisturbed. When they get inside Adaine manages to pull the wig off of Occularia after impressive acting from Hargis. The Bad Kids battle Occularia and win however during the combat Adaine gets paralyzed by one of Occularia's eyestalks.
In Fantasy High LIVE at RTX Austin, she along with Kristen and Fig are selected to defend Zelda from spirits during her ritual. She along with The Bad Kids and Ficus defend Zelda by defeating The Party Fouls. She is also the one to defeat the Sphinx of Solitude by telling a truly terrible pun.
Relationships[]
Angwyn and Arianwen Abernant[]
Adaine's parents. They treated Adaine very coldly, treating her older sister, Aelwyn, as the golden child of the family. They were constantly disappointed that Adaine wasn't living up their expectations, especially when she failed out of Hudol due to her anxiety attack. They were cruel to her throughout her entire childhood, and she hated them for it.
She confronts them on several occasions, but they only ever see Adaine as a difficult, unreasonable child. When they flee to Fallinel at the end of Adaine's freshman year, she does not seek them out and instead moves in with the school guidance counselor, Jawbone. Later, when her father appears and kidnaps her, Adaine disowns herself from them, swearing that she'll never cooperate with him after he was so cruel to her. Angwyn says it's what he expected, but doesn't seem upset by it.
In the next to last episode of Sophomore Year, Adaine kills her father with the spell Adaine's Furious Fists written for her by Ayda Aguefort. She casts it at fifth level and deals him 77 damage, killing him in one hit. In the final episode, Cassandra strips Arianwen of her powers and abandons her in the Forest of the Nightmare King. As of the start of Junior Year, Arianwen is still alive and in the forest.
Aelwyn Abernant[]
Aelwyn is Adaine's older sister. They have never gotten along and constantly annoy and antagonize each other as their father and mother always treated Aelwyn as the golden child, rather unfairly. Adaine is very highly motivated by revenge on her sister, and rather impulsively casts spells and throws punches at her to make her miserable.
Despite this rivalry, however, they do find some sort of reconciliation after Adaine finds her sister imprisoned in Calethriel Tower. After months of torture and not being allowed to Trance, Aelwyn's mind is broken, and her memory left in pieces. However, she still remembers how she and her parents treated Adaine, and when Adaine shows up in her room in an escape attempt, she tries her best to apologize.
While they are imprisoned, they send Message cantrips back and forth as Adaine tries to figure out how to get them both out. Adaine tells her sister that their parents were horrible, and tries to convince Aelwyn that their parents made her suffer too, though her memory problems make it difficult. Even though what Aelwyn did for Kalvaxus was wrong, Adaine doesn't believe she deserves to be tortured, so when her friends arrive to rescue her, she breaks Aelwyn out too.
Deep down, Aelwyn knows that Adaine was right. As she's recovering from her torture in Kei Lumennura, Adaine enters her mind with Detect Thoughts, and she learns how her sister really felt about their home life. Aelwyn was deeply ashamed of how she treated her sister, and recognized that it was only out of fear of their parents that she sat by and let it happen. She sees that Aelwyn acknowledges her abilities and cleverness by leaving a note for her on the powerful abjuration magic that she used to protect her mind from the Court of Stars: Adaine is the only one clever enough to find the version of her mind that she kept safe and bring her back from being broken.
After this, however, Aelwyn's mind is restored to it's condition before Kei Lemennura, and she runs away from the Bad Kids to find her mother in the Nightmare King's forest. Once they've reunited, she isn't really seen until the Finale of Sophomore year. In the finale, Aelwyn finally leaves her parents behind and moves into Mordred Manor with Adaine, they share a bedroom in the tower and sleep (or trance?) in bunkbeds.
While Adaine is defeating the Night Yorb before Junior Year, Aelwyn moves out into her own apartment, leaving behind a note, key to her apartment, and a Nemesis Ward for her sister, which Adaine discovers upon her return to Mordred Manor.
The Bad Kids[]
The adventuring party that Adaine is a part of. She meets each of the Bad Kids one by one on the first day of school, and ends up forming a party with them after their battle with the corn monster during their detention. She receives detention but ends up befriending Fig Faeth and Kristen Applebees after stealing a book, "Watches and Wards", from the restricted section of the library. She's hesitant to join the group at first due to her anxiety, and only goes to investigate the cafeteria with Gorgug because everyone else was going. She scares herself when she beats the lunch lady, Doreen, to death with her own ladle, but the Bad Kids compliment her on her fighting abilities. Meeting the Bad Kids was an important step in Adaine healing her anxiety disorder, as they were the first people to give her praise and affection without the need to earn it.
She grows to love her friends very much, and thinks of them as her new family when her own abandons her. Adaine is also very vocal and usually the first to speak up about reassuring her friends. She comforts Fabian when he reveals it was him who got them their gifts, and insists that they love him for being him, not for his money.
Fig Faeth[]
Adaine's best friend. Their personalities seem to be almost polar opposites upon first glance, but Fig's chaotic nature only works to enable Adaine's impulsive tendencies. They're very protective of each other in battle, and though Fig grows out of it, they both bond over hating their parents. They live together in Mordred Manor.
During the battle with Captain James Whitclaw, Fig tries her best to keep Adaine away from the elves who've come to kidnap her, and cries out when she gives herself up to spare them having to fight. She leads the charge into Adaine's room in Calethriel Tower to personally save her while the boys and the team's hirelings dismantle the tower's magical defenses.
When Fig calls Ayda her best friend, Adaine gets very offended, as she thought she was Fig's best friend. They're all best friends now.
Kristen Applebees[]
During their freshman year, Adaine and Kristen bond over their common trait of Horrible Parents, and spend a lot of time together in Strongtower Luxury Apartments with Jawbone and Riz. They both move into Mordred Manor together as a part of Jawbone's "extended family."
Riz Gukgak[]
Riz and Adaine are the two nerdiest and logic-focused members of the Bad Kids. Neither of them are any good at social interactions, but they flourish together as an investigative team reading books and searching crime scenes. They're both "responsible" to a point, but much of their perceived responsibility is simply due to the fact that they are the only two on the team who don't actively drink or do drugs. They're also the least horny of the six of them, preferring instead to stay focused on their objectives. They join Aguefort's AV Club together.
Ayda Aguefort[]
Adaine is Ayda's first friend. Ayda meets Adaine in the Compass Points Library when she arrives with the rest of the Bad Kids. Adaine is the first to point out that Ayda is a full person to Fig when she believes her to be the creature she paid Arthur Aguefort to create for her, and reminds the party several times that they're being rude as they refer to her as such. Adaine communicates very kindly and clearly with Ayda, but her initial focus and insistence on learning the Sending spell causes Ayda to misjudge her.
Adaine later offers to be her friend, as Ayda is desperate for one and she doesn't have any wizard friends of her own. She offers Boggy for Ayda to hold, which she appreciates very much as Boggy is very cute. She even produces a tiny backpack for him out of her jacket for her, which makes him even cuter. When Ayda compliments her casting, Adaine also offers to teach Ayda to cast Find Familiar herself, and the two become friends. She calls Adaine one of the two greatest wizards of this age, along with Gorgug, and invites both of them back whenever they like.
When Adaine is kidnapped by her father as the rest of the Bad Kids are fighting Captain James Whitclaw, she casts Sending to Ayda, asking for her help. Ayda agrees, saying that Adaine's friends are her friends. Later, Ayda teaches her a spell to summon other wizards to a private conference room-type place, and Adaine is the first one to know about her kiss(es) with Fig. She asks for relationship help, which Adaine happily provides.
She helps Ayda learn Plane Shift so that they can retrieve Fig, Riz and Gilear from Hell, and as thanks for her help and friendship, she gifts Adaine a new spell, Adaine's Furious Fists. She also names her familiar, a fish, after her and agrees to stay with their party to be with her best friend(s).
Jawbone O'Shaughnessey[]
Adaine's new legal guardian and the guidance counselor at Aguefort. Jawbone and the Bad Kids met at the Black Pit, where he bit Adaine whilst under mind control. Luckily Adaine didn't contract lycanthropy and the Bad Kids referred this former drug dealer to the job of school counsellor at Aguefort. This was the lucky break that totally turned Jawbone's life around and he is actually very good at his job, being popular with students and faculty. Jawbone takes Adaine under his care after the rest of her family flees to Fallinel in the aftermath of the incident at the Wallace residence during her freshman year. As the school guidance counselor, he also helps Adaine work through her anxiety, providing her with the support and medication she needs to overcome it. At the end of her sophomore year, he offers to adopt Adaine, giving her sixteen birthday gifts for the birthdays he missed.
Zayn Darkshadow[]
Adaine's friend. After he's killed by the Harvestmen in their freshman year and returns as a ghost, Adaine helps get him re-enrolled as Aguefort’s first ghost student. No longer a pawn for the Harvestmen, Zayn's personality changes dramatically, and they quickly become good friends. He moves into the cemetery at Mordred Manor since Jawbone is taking care of him, and to stay close to Adaine. Kristen has repeatedly pointed out that there could be something more between them, but both Zayn and Adaine insist they're just friends.
