Graham Everglade

Appears in Witchcraft and Wizardry

First appearance: Accepted (S1E1)

He is the axis upon which Olive and Delphine's world revolves around. He is the rock, the steady one. Whereas Delphine's head is usually up in the clouds and she's freewheeling and in touch with her energy and feels everything around her, Graham is constantly enamored and in awe that he gets to be the one that gets to support her and keep the household running. Graham and Olive are very close because Delphine would go off on last-minute trips out of nowhere and it would just be the two of them, not knowing when she would come back. They have a really special bond because of that. He's very dependable, warm, and reliable. He balances the family well.

He is very tall, but he seems like a flower that hasn't gotten enough water so it's a bit hunched over and wilted, mostly from his height and from being the kind of attentive parent that wants to be down on his daughter's level. His eyes look like they would be warm if they weren't so tired. He is a warm but weary man.

He is the father of Olive Everglade and the husband of Delphine Everglade.

The Everglades' house is hand-made. It's a cobb cottage. The material used to build it was mixed together by hand by friends of him and Delphine. Everything is built with an emphasis on natural light and the energy being able to flow through the house, and an emphasis on facing everything in the best direction for all of the magical plants that they grow inside the house and outside. Vines creep up the outside and come in through the windows and out the windows of other stories. There's a greenhouse attached to the back. When Olive was a little kid and she first moved out of her nursery into her big girl room, she would always be so obsessed with the plants in the greenhouse. She would go sneak in every night after he and Delphine put her to bed and they'd find her every morning sleeping with the plants. Eventually, they just moved her furniture out of her bedroom and into the greenhouse instead. Olive sleeps in this greenhouse where she makes paper crafts of magical creatures that interest her that she finds on the many acres of land that they own. Olive has him or Delphine enchant them so that they fly around the ceiling of the greenhouse. It's magically illuminated so that it always looks like there's starlight, even if there's not. Everything is just comfortable and warm. There are stacks of books in every single room of the house. There are stained glass windows in different colored glass. Each room has a different feel to it. The bathroom has ocean green and blue windows. It is very homey.

His family has moved many times. They usually live in the country, but they moved around a lot because Delphine is always afflicted by wanderlust and he is always two steps behind her at her heels trying to keep up. Whenever she has a whim to move somewhere different and to change and to have a fresh scenery or a change of pace, he just says yes and takes them somewhere new. So Olive, a couple years back, stopped trying to remember the names of the different places they've lived because they always lived so far out, so many acres of land, that they rarely see anyone in a town anyway.

He and Delphine, on their many acres of land, have two things they primarily do. They have land for farming of magical herbs and plants that they use. That's their business. They also have a small but steadily growing rescue that they're building of magical creatures that are injured or afflicted by something in some way.

He was the one who brought Olive to Diagon Alley to buy all her school supplies. Olive tried to convince him to let her bring more than one pet to Hogwarts (Sophocles and Galileo and Mopsie), but he said no.
