**Dante Blackwell** is a returning student at Ninth House, a part of the Umbra Coven society. He is portrayed by Milo Manheim

Dante Blackwell, the only child of Amelia and Robert Blackwell, grew up in a cozy suburban home. His parents discovered his magical abilities early on, witnessing small yet intriguing displays of his powers - a levitating toy or a flicker of light without any apparent source. Excitement filled the Blackwell household as they enrolled Dante in a local magic school, envisioning a future where their son would embrace the wonders of the arcane arts.
However, Dante had a different perspective. Rather than immersing himself in magical studies, he embraced a carefree and rebellious spirit. School became a place for socializing, forging friendships, and engaging in activities of his choosing. Classes and lectures took a backseat as Dante navigated the magical world on his own terms.
His indifferent attitude toward magical theory and tradition often led to clashes with his professors, who saw potential in him but struggled to channel his interests. Dante's love for freedom and spontaneity overshadowed the structured nature of magical education.
Amelia and Robert, still hopeful that their son would recognize the significance of his magical gift, found themselves at odds with Dante's approach. While they saw magic as a source of wonder and possibility, Dante perceived it as just one aspect of his identity, not requiring special attention.
As Dante matured, his rebellion extended beyond the classroom. He explored the magical realm with a group of like-minded friends, often pushing boundaries and challenging conventional magical norms. His carefree demeanor became a trademark, earning him a reputation as the "rebel" within magical circles.
Despite the tensions with his parents and the magical community's expectations, Dante continued to carve his path. His journey was defined by the pursuit of freedom, self-expression, and an unwavering determination to live life on his own terms

## The Blackwell Family

The Blackwell family, rooted in a world of mundane routines and normality as your typical suburban newlywed couple. They found themselves irrevocably altered when Dante entered their lives. Prior to Dante's birth, the Blackwells were an ordinary, non-magical family navigating the labyrinth of daily existence. His parents, Amelia and Robert, worked diligently to provide a stable and nurturing environment. However, Dante, showed signs of magic from a young age, and the unexpected prodigy, introduced an element of enchantment to their ordinary lives. As the first magical member of the family, Dante's abilities brought both wonder and confusion, challenging the Blackwells to adapt to this newfound magical reality. The family, in specific the parents, though initially bewildered, embraced the magical tapestry woven into their lives by Dante, transforming their once mundane existence into an extraordinary journey of discovery.

#### Immediate Family Members

Dante is an only child and his parents are currently still together.

##### Robert Blackwell

Robert Blackwell, a pragmatic and methodical engineer, carved his path through life with a keen focus on precision and structure. His days were dedicated to navigating the complexities of the world, utilizing his expertise to build foundations that stood the test of time. A man of few words, Robert's stoic demeanor masked a deep appreciation for the harmonies of his wife's artistic spirit, creating a balanced partnership that enriched their lives and, ultimately, shaped the destiny of their son, Dante.

While Robert Blackwell's dedication to his work provided stability and material security for his family, it also left little room for emotional intimacy. The distance between father and son grew as Robert's long hours at the engineering firm took precedence over bonding moments. Despite the occasional attempts to bridge the gap, Robert's pragmatic nature often clashed with Dante's more carefree and rebellious spirit. The divide, although unintentional, became a defining feature of their relationship, leaving both with unspoken sentiments and a longing for a connection that seemed elusive.

#### Amelia Blackwell

Amelia Blackwell, a spirited artist with a profound appreciation for the beauty that life offers, navigates her days with a paintbrush in hand. Her studio is a sanctuary of creativity, where she translates the vivid tapestry of emotions and experiences into vibrant strokes on canvas. Amelia's laughter dances through the air, echoing the joy she finds in capturing the essence of the world's wonders through her art.

Amelia Blackwell shares a close bond with her son, Dante. Despite their differing perspectives on the magical world, their connection remains strong. Amelia, with her artistic soul, encourages Dante to embrace the beauty that surrounds him, hoping that the magic he possesses can be a source of inspiration rather than indifference. She celebrates his uniqueness, understanding that, like her paintings, Dante is a masterpiece in the making, each brushstroke of his life contributing to a larger, more intricate canvas.

## Relationships with Other Students

#### Renlin Duman

Renlin and Dante forged a strong bond at Ninth House, drawn together by their carefree spirits. Their friendship deepened during a lively summer of mischief when Renlin invited Dante to join in the fun. However, a hidden secret threatens to strain their connection: Dante's pursuit of Renlin's sister, a boundary he crossed despite clear warnings. Will their friendship withstand this challenge, or will it succumb to the pressure of Dante's actions?

#### Inessa Duman

Inessa Duman and Dante became acquainted through Inessa's brother, Renlin. Their initial interactions were lighthearted, with Dante and Renlin enjoying playful pranks on Inessa during summer stays. However, Dante's feelings evolved, leading to a short-lived romantic connection between him and Inessa over the summer. With the return to school marking the end of their brief fling, they've chosen to feign unfamiliarity with each other in their current social circles.
