—Nory and Reina's teary-eyed reunion at the end of the film

**Nory and Reina** (sometimes called "Corace", "Neina", "Rory" or "Norjaval") is the friendship/romantic pairing of Nory Horace and Reina Carjaval from the *Upside-Down Magic* film.

## Nory and Reina

### Characters Involved

* Nory Horace (film)
* Reina Carjaval

### Names

* Corace
* Norjaval
* Rory
* Flamedritten

## Canon

Nory and Reina are childhood friends. They attended Sage Academy for Magical Studies together, however the experience was much more different than either of them had believed. It wasn't a magical quest, rather a segregated and strict school.

Though unable to communicate directly because of the school's regulations that Upside-Down Magic users could not interact with Honors or Basics, they both found ways to meet one another. However, Nory realized quickly that Reina was different. She began pushing Nory away because of the burden brung on by Shadow Magic. After being liberated from Shadow Magic with the help of Nory's encouragement, they grow a deeper understanding of one another. They clearly needed one another, and often my random interruptions were they bound from one another.

### Affiliation

Sage Academy, Dark Magic (as Shadow Reina)

## Background

### Personality

Reina is easily worried and often shy. She is kind and cares about others, especially Nory. Although she is powerful, she worries that she will not be good enough to be an Honors Flare as she lacks confidence in her own abilities. At the end of the film, however, Nory helps Reina realize how good she is at magic. While possessed by the Shadow Magic, Reina is a combination of her own personality and the Shadow Magic’s nature: she is sly and manipulative, although also giddy and quiet. This may mean that while possessed, Reina still held some control. Reina is a bookworm who spends a lot of time in the library. Reina is easily angered, saddened, or emotionally impulsed like the fire that she manipulates, but most of the time she is happy, if worried. Her work ethic is strong and she studies the Flare textbook in the library even though she’d rather read adventure books.

## Abilities

* Reina is a Flare. She can heat popcorn and hold fire with her hand. Her signature move is "Sparkle-Sparkle Fireball”, Nory’s favorite, a large, powerful fireball capable of destroying an entire building. While she is beckoned little by little into the world of Shadow Magic, Reina’s powers are unusually strengthened.
* In the music video of “Everything’s Magic”, preformed by the cast, Reina can make her hands glow with heat and make fire swirls.
* In the game Magic My Way, Reina can sense when Shadow Magic is at play.

### Shadow Reina

While possessed, Reina is reduced to being a prawn for Chandra: Shadow Reina. In this state, her eyes are completely black. Shadow Reina’s Flare powers are the strongest in this state, being able to create a exceptionally large fireball that almost destroyed an entire wing of the building.

* Reina is the second character to be possessed by the Shadow Magic, the first being Reginald Roberts.
* Reina may or may not have suffered mental trauma from being possessed by Chandra.
* It is unknown whether her surname is spelled Carvajal or Carjaval.

### Pre-Film

Reginald Roberts was a student at the Sage Academy in 1939. He was an abnormal Flare who had an extra hole in his rear end where his fire came out—often while he was farting. When he was possessed by the Shadow Magic, it was assumed that his upside-down magic was the cause behind his possession they managed to defeat the monster he became but Reginald died in the process. This assumption has led Sage Academy to start separating UDMs from the other students, causing other kids to fear and discriminate them. However, this was later proven to be false, as it was Reginald's insecurities that allowed the Shadow to possess him.

Chandra mentions Reginald as she possesses Reina: *“Reginald thought he wasn’t good enough, either.. He [Reginald] was good, but you, Reina, are* perfect*”*.

## Night Owl!

### Author

Emily Jenkins, Sarah Mylnowski, Lauren Myracle

## Synopsis

It's a Big Night in Dunwiddle. . . and that means the whole school has a sleepover like no other. For one night every year, magic students run through the halls, hunting for the objects that will win them a super special prize.

Nory is super excited for the scavenger hunt. Not only because she likes winning, but also because if her team wins, she thinks there's a chance her best friend Elliott won't move away to attend super snobby Sage Academy.

Sebastian is a little less excited once the hunt is on. Yes, he has magical powers that help his team -- like being able to see invisible things or anything that makes a sound. The problem is that the really loud sounds are hurting him . . . and nobody seems to care.

The kids in Upside-Down Magic know their five F's (Flares, Flyers, Fuzzies, Flickers, and Fluxers) -- but to win this night, a sixth F is the most important . . . Friendship.

## Trivia

Pepper is a fierce girl, not trusting anyone outside of her friend circle. She was rude to Nory before they became friends, usually giving her the silent treatment, similarly to Andres. Later on, she became more trusting of those around her, even going so far as to risk getting into trouble and covering for Nory.

She's quick to hand out insults to anyone in particular, whether friend or foe, and isn't naive. She's observative and very smart, and tries to stop Nory various times in her silly and potentially dangerous schemes.

## Trivia

* In the books, her character’s last name is Phan, indicating that she is Vietnamese. However, Alison Fernandez, a girl of South American descent, was cast as Pepper instead, leading to accusations of race-bending the character incorrectly. However, Paloma is a Hispanic last name.

Andres is a Latino boy with brown skin and dark hair. He seems to like wearing bright colors and stripes, and he is either held to earth with a backpack full of bricks or tethered to his friends with a red leash so he can't float away.

## Abilities

Andres is an upside-down Flyer who cannot stop flying. He is always pulled upwards, even when he sleeps. When he tries to go down, it often makes him rise faster. Andres has learned how to ride air currents, which helps him fly in wide-open areas. He is an extremely strong Flyer, especially compared to other fifth graders, who can only rise a few feet. Andres has no limit to how high he can fly, which can be a problem.

## Personality

Andres is a nice kid who wants to be independent. His feelings of being babied likely come from constantly being tethered to others—literally. He is known to call down random comments to his friends because he cannot hear their conversations. He is a bit more daring than is healthy. He can also be self-conscious about his flying because it can make a disaster, like in *Upside-Down Magi**c* when Lacey set fire to his leash, causing him to float upwards.

## Backstory

### Pre-Series

On the day before Andres's tenth birthday, he flew into the air during math class, and his classroom had a ceiling fan. Andres' hair got caught and he got flung around about 3 times. He has not been able to come down since then. His family has adapted well to his situation, especially his sister, Carmen (a very strong Fluxer who is in the Honor Society).

Coach Vitomin

Coach Vitomin, or simply Coach is a Fluxer and is Nory and Bax's fluxing tutor, and he seems to love kittenball.

## Tutoring

Coach tutors Nory and Bax. He is a very excitable person and he's "all for expanding Nory's potential". He likes Nory's dritten because he said that a dritten in kittenball would be really helpful. When Nory asks about doing a lesson on squippy (part squid and part puppy), he says to keep her head in the game and focus on kitten variations of animals. In the 5th book, *Weather or Not*, one of his tutoring lessons is in the high school pool. Bax didn't like Coach because he rarely helped him with Fluxing for most of the 2nd book, *Sticks and Stones*. He makes his students eat healthy foods such as sardines, pomegranate juice, nuts, and seaweed snacks.

## Appearance

Coach makes his debut in the 2nd book, *Sticks and Stones*. He is a short, pale, muscular, bald man. He has rosy cheeks and his muscles bulged.

## Abilities

He mainly fluxes into felines and has trouble with squid as seen in book five, *Weather or Not*.
