Snapdragon

## Position

Student at High Guardian Academy
Guardian in Training
Warrior

## Relatives

Hawthorn (father)
Yarrow (elder brother)

**Snapdragon** is a supporting character from the *High Guardian Spice* animated series. She is a Guardian-in-training at High Guardian Academy who takes part in the Warrior classes.

Snapdragon has always felt discomfort in being in a male body. Her first steps to exploring the other gender was during the Autumn Processional when she tried to cross-dress as a mermaid, which a classmate, Cal, perceived as "messed up". Their conflict continues when the two are later grouped up for a mission, which ends in a brief fist fight. Caraway, who has witnessed the incident, is then able to give guidance to the young Guardian.

As the daughter of Hawthorn, Snapdragon was initially set on following after his legacy to the point of using his axe in combat. In practice, however, it was shown that a rapier would be more suited to her.

## Physical Appearance

Snapdragon is a Guardian-in-training at High Guardian Academy, specializing in physical combat. Her body type is slender, giving her an edge in agility and allowing her to pass as feminine while in the pre-transitioning stages. Like the eponymous flower, her hair is ginger. She also has freckles.

## Personality

Snapdragon is a reserved teenager with a hard exterior. This is partly due to a deep-seated internal conflict over her gender identity and childhood of being bullied for being too soft. However, their effeminate side remains strong, as demonstrated by her mermaid costume worn during the fall festival. She appears to enjoy socializing with women more than men, but purely due to circumstances and aggressive gender norms. She also seems to resent certain elements of masculinity as being aesthetically unpleasing or generally unpleasant. Her strength is dependent on her emotional state. She enjoys rapier class and painting her nails.

## Trivia

* Rosemary eventually calls Snapdragon "Snappy" when they become friends. However, it hasn't been seen in the show.
* In the creator of the show’s 2022 New Year’s artwork, Snapdragon is shown to be wearing an outfit with the trans’ pride flag’s color palette.

Sage/Relationships

### Rosemary

   Rosemary and Sage were best friends since childhood, and the two often do everything together. Despite this, Rosemary has a tendency to be pushy about her wants and will often disregard Sage's feelings, such as trying to make her miss a contest she wants to take part in. She also has a tendency to get jealous of Sage spending time with someone else, such as Snapdragon, though she can also be blind to Sage's own feelings.

Despite their differences, they will always come to aid each other when they need it, and by the end of the first season, they reconcile their friendship.

Professor Caraway admitted that the relationship between Sage and Rosemary reminded him of his relationship with Lavender.

### Thyme

Thyme initially did not get along with Sage very well, because of her being very disparaging of Rosemary initially, which only further got aggravated when she unintentionally hurt her feelings with her somewhat distant attitude. They eventually make up and grow closer.

### Parsley

Parsley first met Sage when she and Rosemary visited Parley's family forge, looking for someone who could repair Rose's locket. The two would quickly form a good friendship.

### Snapdragon

Sage initially disliked Snapdragon as she aided Amaryllis in bullying her.
Snapdragon later falls in love with Sage after seeing her criticize Amaryllis and tries to be a kinder person to her. In A Lost Cause, she is surprised to hear that Thyme made Sage cry, and helps look for her.

Sage tends to bring out Snap's confident and daring side. In later episodes, they are shown hanging out together, with Snap even defending her from bullying. They even spend the waning minutes of the Autumn Processional together.
Attack on High Guardian Academy

Episode 12 (transcript)

**Attack on High Guardian Academy** is the twelfth episode of High Guardian Spice.

## Synopsis

A powerful witch and shapeshifter named Mandrake arrives from Witch Country, ready to take over Olive’s mission and kill the girls.

## Events

### Pre-Credits

Olive and Kino are seen waiting on the edge of town for Mandrake to arrive. Greeting them, insults are also exchanged after which Mandrake asks if he could kill Kino. Olive quickly sends Kino away to protect him.

After calling her soft for protecting Kino, Mandrake then gives her a new terrasphere on behalf of the Triumvirate and declares that he’ll be overseeing the mission. Angry, Olive calls Smoke Face to protest, but Smoke Face overrules her and confirms that Mandrake is in fact in charge. Smokeface then warns Olive to listen to Mandrake, unless if she wants to be executed. Before the two leave for the academy, Smoke Face tells them to not draw attention to themselves or Witch Country.

### Post-Credits

Mandrake is getting dragged into the Triumvirate’s chambers before being thrown on the ground. Explaining himself, he blames Olive for failing and begs the Triumvirate to have mercy and give him a second chance. However, they quickly silence him and ask the person who dragged him in to recommend his punishment.

This person is revealed to be Lavender, in which she suggests execution. The scene ends, putting a close to season one and leaving Mandrake’s fate unknown.

Mandrake/History

Mandrake shape shifts into Lavender, and tries to get information out of Rose about the whereabouts of herself and her friends. Though she instructs Rose not to tell anyone else of her presence, but Rose, unable to contain her excitement, tells her friends and they decided to tell Caraway as well. They enter Caraway's office and start telling him about Lavender, but the real Caraway walks into the office and is confused to see a doppelganger of himself, causing the two to have a fight. Olive and Mandrake attack the school by having the latter impersonate Professor Caraway, lead the other faculty members into a room, tricking them into drinking poison and locking the door so they can't escape. They also set the school on fire and bar the students from exiting the building.

When the school's loudspeakers announce that all students are mandated to go the forge for an assembly, Rose, Sage, Parsley and Thyme didn't heed to it, due to witnessing Caraway's impostor prior and fearing that it could be a ruse. Their fears are proven correct, but the four manage to fight off Olive and Mandrake, meanwhile Amaryllis and Snapdragon try to rescue the remaining students. In the end, Olive betrays Mandrake and stabs him. Hours later the fire is put out and the teachers are cured, but Olive is seen being arrested. Mandrake on the other hand disguises himself as a firefighter and leaves the scene.

At the end of the episode it is revealed that Lavender is alive and has been working for the triumvirate. She berates Mandrake for failing to kill the students of High Guardian Academy. He begs her to have mercy on him but she refuses, and kills him.

Sage's dad

## Relatives

Sage’s mom
Sage (daughter)
Anise (Sister-in-law)

Sage’s dad is, as his name would suggest, Sage’s dad. His name is currently unknown.

### Design

Sage’s father has long grey-blue hair and blue eyes. He has stubble and square-framed glasses, and wears a witch hat that matches his wife’s. His skin tone is slightly more yellow than that of his wife or daughter.

### Personality

He’s opportunistic and teaches his daughter to go for every opportunity at High Guardian Academy. He also seems proud of her acceptance into the Academy.
Terrasphere

**Terraspheres** are tools used by practitioners of New Magic. They take the form of small colorful orbs, which can change into spellcasting objects such as wands or staffs, though they are not exclusively limited to those forms. Terraspheres are incredibly common throughout Lyngarth and beyond, given the prominence of New Magic throughout the populace of Scarborough Kingdom.

## General Information

Terraspheres come in a variety of sizes, and sometimes feature adornments such as metal decals. The staffs/wands that the spheres become usually match the aesthetic of the sphere, such as Sage’s temporary Terrasphere (Which had ornate gold detailing and became a large golden staff), but there are exceptions (Such as Anise’s, which has golden detailing like Sage’s, but becomes a wooden staff)

Terraspheres are not limited to just becoming wands or staffs, however. Some, like Mandrake's, can become magic daggers instead, and can still cast spells the same way a wand would.

Terraspheres can be bought at stores, such as the one Slime Boy works at, and can be exchanged if the one bought doesn’t bond to the user. People who purchase Terraspheres tend to keep them on their person in some way, such as via jewelry like earrings or bracelets, or simply in their pockets.

## Use in New Magic

Terraspheres form the basis of New Magic. They are required to perform New Magic spells, allowing spellcasters to more quickly channel magic without having to "give something back" to the environment, like with Old Magic. For this reason they are considered much easier to use, and overall better, than the traditional practices of Old Magic.

One drawback of Terraspheres is that they can run out of energy, as shown when one of Redbud's did so after she showed off New Magic's capabilities.

## Spark Spells

Spark Spells are small crystal shards with "ready-made spells" stored inside. They are used to "teach" certain spells to Terraspheres, allowing the caster to perform said spell once without needing to practice it.

Spark Spells look like small stars, and when touched to the Terrasphere will be absorbed. This is only shown in The Festival of the Fall, when Olive receives the petrification spell she later uses on the festival-goers.

Amaryllis mentions that Spark Spells are a recent commodity, and given her assumption that Olive must be "loaded" if she has one, it can be inferred that they are only really available to the wealthy.

## Trivia

* Sage's blue Terrasphere might bear a striking resemblance to the Relic of Knowledge from RWBY.
* Although easy to miss, Mandrake can be seen turning his Terrasphere into a dagger in Episode 12, confirming it is possible for Terraspheres to take on other forms besides the base wands and staffs.
FF7/Field/Script/Opcodes/B7 GETDIR

#### Description

محافظان برتر

*This article is a stub.
You can help High Guardian Spice Wiki by expanding it.
Todo: Voice actors, more changes*

**محافظان برتر** (**Mhafzan Bartar**) is the title of an unlicensed Persian dub of *High Guardian Spice* that is part of Iranian children streaming service Digitoon. The entirety of the first season had been released in early July of 2023.

## Changes

* The show's opening has been replaced with Digitoon's own cut using a mixture of footage from the original Opening as well as the episodes. The song for the Opening, originally 'Become The Light' has been replaced with a, presumably Persian, cover of Russian song 'Дорадура' by Дора, albeit with vastly different lyrics.
* On Digitoon's website, it is said that the world of *High Guardian Spice* is called "Eliatopia". This, however, is purely made up on Digitoon's part.
* Caraway canonically has a sister now, who was friends with Lavender during their childhood. This is how Caraway met her, and the two eventually becoming a team. This change was made to hide Caraway's transgender background while still making sense of the photos Rosemary saw.

### Censorship

IranW is notorious for its amount of censorship, which does include Cartoons. For the Iranian market, all the instances where female characters show too much skin, as well as the homosexuality, had to be altered, zoomed away from, or removed.

* Olive's dark dress had been censored; underneath the dress, she now wears a black bodysuit that covers her legs and up to her shoulders. To save on editing, Digitoon either zooms in the footage, replaces a few shots, or simply stretch out the length of a shot.
* Episode 11 has been heavily cut down to not show much footage of the mermaids.
* In episode 12, a moment early on has been cut out; originally, Mandrake asks Olive if he can break the cat's neck while making a creepy expression, causing Olive to tell Kino to go. This followed up by Mandrake taunting Olive. The Persian dub only has Mandrake call Kino a "cute kitty" before jumping straight to Mandrake telling Olive that she now works for him.

### Other Observations

* Digitoon themselves give the show an age 12+ rating, in contrast to Crunchyroll's own decision to make *High Guardian Spice* for "mature audiences only".
* The frame rate of the show's footage has been tweaked from 24 frames-per-second to 25 in order to adjust to the Iranian television standard.
* Since Digitoon doesn't have access to the raw footage of the show, they instead sourced it from pirated versions found online. Because of that, they had to blur out the advertising messages put in by the Cartoon pirate sites.

Spooky City

**Spooky City** is a large metropolitan city in Witch Country, and it's most prominent/only location featured in the show.

## Description

The city seems to be quite large, sporting a wide variety of towering castles and blinding streetlights. From what little we see of it, the place even features neon lighting similar to ones in real life cities. This suggests the city sports much more advanced technology than smaller ones like Lyngarth and especially Pebble, which corroborates with the implication Witch Country is a very wealthy nation.

## Gallery

Amaryllis explains what Spooky City's like.
## Trivia

* It can be inferred, given it's focus, that Spooky City is the capital of Witch Country, similar to what Lyngarth is for Scarborough Kingdom.

Guardian

The status of **Guardian** is given to individuals that swear allegiance to their nation, and seek to protect it. By the general population, they are considered historical figures, and heroes. One notable figure is High Guardian Lavender.

Selected individuals will formally become Guardians after graduating from High Guardian Academy, a school that trains its students specifically for their future **Guardianship**. In addition to getting proficient in either close-quarters combat, ranged combat, or Magic throughout their school years, young Guardians also receive special teachings that suit their skills, such as Blacksmithing or Archery. Furthermore, Guardians are given the possibility to work on their unique talent during the Everything Hours.

During their training, Guardians are being tested on their skill and courage, and need to pass trials, such as a team exploration of the Cave of Vinca. Young Guardians are required to keep a sense of curiosity for the world, and to come up with their own meaning of what a Guardianship entails. Students are also being taught ethics, in order to get a good sense of right and wrong.

Sage

* Ponytail
* Short hair

## Position

Student at High Guardian Academy
Guardian in Training
Mage

## Relatives

Unnamed mother and father
Anise (cousin)

**Sage** is the deuteragonist of the *High Guardian Spice* animated series. She is a mage in training who spent a part of her childhood in the country side of Witch Country before moving to Pebble. There, she meets Rosemary, and the two would become best friends.

At the start of the series, the two head off to High Guardian Academy in order to become Guardians, Sage in particular to learn more about magic and potions. During her time at the academy, she struggles with New Magic since her mother had forbidden her from practicing it. Initially reluctant to try it out, even after being gifted a Terrasphere, Sage would start to utilize it once she learns about her mother's past.

In spite of New Magic feeling right for her, Sage has her doubts about the nature of this form of magic, insisting that all kinds of magic must have a cost. Throughout the series, she would witness the magic in nature fading.

## Design

Sage has blue hair tied into a plait (though the events in Episode 12 saw her forced to cut it off, leaving it shorter, and then her hair was cut to chin length from shoulder length) and is dressed in a typical witch dress.

## Personality

Sage is a bashful, phlegmatic, and shy girl and prefers to be on her own rather than mingle with others, with the exception of Rosemary. She shows a great amount of discomfort when around strangers, which implies she suffers from an anxiety disorder. She also tends to be skeptical of others. Despite her quiet and reserved exterior, when angered, she doesn't hold back and tends to be brutally honest, though sometimes she deliberately says the most hurtful things she can think of, like when she called Rosemary "Rhubarb" in Episode 10, knowing that it was what Aster called her. She also tends to be insensitive and go off on tangents. She is secretly pressured and anxious.

## Development

 Her appearance in the comic iteration used to be different: Sage used to wear a dark gray garb consisting of a witch hat, a choker, an opened robe, a sleeveless top, a brown belt, a tattered shorts, and pointy boots. She also had darker hair and a brighter skin tone.

Amaryllis/Relationships

### Snapdragon

Snapdragon is her best friend and they usually do everything together, with Amaryllis getting upset when she hangs out with someone else. Even though they are close, Snap tends to be distant towards her and they also have poor teamworking skills - Amaryllis prefers to dominate, while Snapdragon hides her feelings and complies with what she wants because she doesn't want to deal with fighting with her.
Despite this, she is one of the few people she is open about her emotions too and she is always kind and accepting to her, even humoring her requests such as painting her nails.

### Thyme

   Amaryllis initially displayed disdain at Thyme for being a "poor", but in episode 5, after Thyme accidentally insulted Sage and made her cry, Amaryllis began to view her in a different light, and invited her to sit with her and Snapdragon at lunch, though this was rejected. In subsequent episodes, she frequently tries to get close to Thyme, even though all of her attempts at friendship are rebuked. In episode 6, Amaryllis finally gets Thyme to open up about her family life and history, though Thyme still refuses to consider her a friend. At the end of the Festival of Fall, when Amaryllis offers to ask her sources about the Triumvirate, Thyme shoots the idea down, stating that the academy is crawling with spies.

### Sage

Sage initially butt heads with Amaryllis, with the latter showing disdain for the former's traditional beliefs. Though initially antagonistic, the two become less abrasive, being more cooperative with each other as they faced adversity.

### Rosemary

Amaryllis brushed past Rosemary on purpose with Amaryllis as the two were in the halls, appearing to view her as a simpleton, and mocking her often for her sometimes unusual actions. However she does learn to be more cooperative with her, putting aside her gripes to achieve a common goal in episode 10.

Triumvirate

**The Triumvirate** are a trio of villains residing in Witch Country, and are the main overarching antagonists of High Guardian Spice. They seem interested in making sure the four protagonists do not uncover their dark secrets.

## Physical Appearance

Not unlike The Triad, The Triumvirate are composed of three men - one young, one old, and one middle-aged. The latter two sport white beards, while the younger one goes clean-shaven. They each wear red vests with white dress shirts and yellow ties, over which they wear purplish dark cloaks, complete with some kind of purple lighting added onto them. They also each sport what seem to be sunglasses.

## Personality

Not much is known about their personality yet, but from what we can tell they seem to be callous and cruel, ordering the deaths of the four protagonists despite them only being children. On top of that, they seem to punish any of their assassin's failures with death, as implied by Smoke Face when he reminds Olive of the consequences if she fails her mission, and as seen when they allow Lavender to order Mandrake's execution.

## History

At some undisclosed point, they rose to prominence in Witch Country as some of their "corporate big money guys."

## Plot

After Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, and Parsley discover they can use the healing water to cure the Rot, Olive, one of the Triumvirate's spies/assassins, reports that the four are "...closing in on the secrets of Witch Country." The Triumvirate, via Smoke Face, order Olive to kill the girls, much to her reluctance. Olive fails, however, to murder them during Lyngarth's Autumn Processional, but Smoke Face informs her she will be given a second chance, albeit with the help of the assassin Mandrake. When Mandrake fails, and Olive ends up incarcerated, the former is brought forth before the Triumvirate, begging for his life. They order him to stay silent, and ask Lavender what she recommends they do with him. The former Guardian orders Mandrake to be executed, ending the episode.

## Relationships

* Team HGS - Enemies
* Olive - Subordinate (Formerly)
* Mandrake - Subordinate (Formerly, since he might be dead)
* Smoke Face - Subordinate
* Lavender - Enforcer

## Trivia

* They were likely planned to be the series' main antagonists, considering they lead the other antagonists and their appearance in the opening theme.
