Professor Lyca Wanemyre

**Lyca Wanemyre** is a young noble and Professor at White Griffon Academy, teaching the Forgemastering specialization. She is also one of the youngest and most talented Royal Forgemasters of her generation and is one of Lith's favorite Professors.

## Appearance

Professor Wanemyre is described as "better endowed" than Professor Nalear, with a heart-shaped face and soft, luscious curves. She has long black hair with shades of red held up in a chignon, and wears skin tight working gloves.

## Personality

Wanemyre has a cheery, warm personality, and takes pride in her talent and deep expertise. She hates being treated like a slab of meat. She is also quite fierce and competitive when it comes to Forgemastering and loves a challenge.

After being used as a puppet in Nalear's attack, she becomes paranoid and cold.

## Background

Wanemyre is introduced on Lith's second day at the academy, and quickly takes a liking to Lith's hardworking nature and talent for Forgemastering. During the 4th year third trimester, she teaches them how to infuse elements into magical objects using ingredients. She adopts a much cheerier demeanor and wears makeup and jewelry, revealing that she has been engaged to be married at the end of the trimester, and received a silver bracelet as a betrothal gift, which is later revealed to be one of Nalear's slave items.

During Nalear's attack on the White Griffon Academy, Wanemyre is forced to fight with her against Headmaster Linjos. Since the academy's Forgemasters are sometimes allowed access to the power core to craft items linked to it (e.g. Ballots or the staff's rings), Wanemyre had crafted a power core unit with the sole function of disabling the power core. Linjos defeats and subdues them both, but is caught off guard by Nalear's Awakened nature and executed by Wanemyre as part of Nalear's plan to cause a civil war between commoners and nobles. Following Nalear's failed rebellion, Wanemyre suffers from trauma and takes a sabbatical for over two years.

During his time as Assistant Professor, Lith acts as the liaison between her private quarters and the outside world. He takes care of both the theoretical and practical Forgemastering lessons while she struggles with the post-traumatic stress disorder caused by Nalear's orders. Years later, Wanemyre attends Lith's birthday gala at the Ernas mansion. She offers Lith to become a Royal Forgemaster before his apprenticeship with Faluel the Hydra, but he declines.

Wanemyre receives a card marked "Past" from a Balkor copycat along with several other White Griffon Professors, all of whom had supported Lith in the past. She is given a Royal Guard escort at all times and begins undertaking exams to become a Royal Forgemaster in the inner circle, spending time either at the White Griffon, Valeron, or places beyond the Balkor copycat's reach.

* *"What we do is a perfect mix of art and magical science. It's not about how much you earn, it's the journey that matters. Money is just a pleasant side effect of our line of work."* (Wanemyre to Lith, Chapter 196)
