Devon

**Devon** is a character in *Magical Girl Policy*. He is an employee and, in his employer's absence, effective manager at Dungeon Direct, a comic book store in Rale Valley Mall, and is familiar with Cory and Eli. He is the viewpoint character in the "Dungeon Direct Response" vignette.

## Appearance

Devon's physique is likened to that of a preying mantis, which are thin and lanky. His face is scruffy.

## Personality

Devon is a nerd, working at the Dungeon Direct comic shop, and has an interest in the *Invokers* card game, *LoreThunder* tabletop RPG, and *Throne Gambit* television series. In "Dungeon Direct Response", he is shown carrying a large mug of the soda Col. Moxie. He is a procrastinator and not very organized, as he allows the back area of the store to become messy and infrequently cleans the area. He is not especially fond of his job at Dungeon Direct. He is calm and collected when a monster attack suddenly breaks out in front of him, opting to hide himself rather than risk getting trampled by the evacuating masses.

## Biography

### Background

Devon began working at Dungeon Direct six years prior to the start of the series. His first encounter with regulars Cory Frost and Eli Drake was when the two were in middle school. At some point, Dungeon Direct's owner and manager, Devon's employer, moved out of the state, effectively making Devon the manager. Devon would later convert the shop's back room into a personal space for himself.

### Week 1

Devon is working like usual when Cory and Eli enter the shop for packs of *Invokers* cards. He is surprised to find that not only has the pair brought along a third person in the form of Robert, but also that Rob is the roommate of the now college freshman at Schuyler Adamson University. He directs them to the back area to find what they're looking for, though he has yet to clean the place from the previous night's *LoreThunder* event. Robert buys the latest issue of *Collider*, then leaves when he sees Angela and Mallory outside. Cory buys an *Invokers* booster pack, then leaves with Eli.

A couple of minutes later, Frank comes to Dungeon Direct for the latest issue of *Backlash*. While Devon is looking for the comic, mannequins suddenly break out of nearby storefronts, as Robert had just caught the attention of the revealed Day LaMode and is now being pursued by the monster and her minions. Devon orders Frank to flee the mall and stays behind to close the shop, spotting Spirit Guards Valor and Tenacity rush past and shouting words of encouragement to them. Noting that LaMode's mannequins paid no mind to him, Devon decides to shut himself in the shop's back room for a while rather than get caught up in the stampeding crowd of evacuating people, and takes the chance to watch the episodes of *Throne Gambit* he had missed.

## Relationships

### Cory Frost and Eli Drake

Devon first meets Cory and Eli while the two were in middle school, as they would frequently shop at Dungeon Direct and were considered annoying kids at *Invokers* tournaments. This image of the boys remains prominent in Devon's mind, as he is shocked when he realizes they are now college students. Devon has trouble distinguishing the pair, typically referring to them using collective terms.

### Robert Dreese/Robynne Darling

When Robert accompanies Cory and Eli to Dungeon Direct, Devon is surprised to see the pair bring a friend along for the first time, and that Rob is interested in comics rather than *Invokers* like his friends are.

### Frank

Frank is a regular customer at Dungeon Direct and attendee of the *LoreThunder* tournaments it hosts. He is friendly with Devon.
