Grayling

Grayling is a young buck who is easily notable for his gray fur.

## Personality

Grayling is a very nervous and friendly buck, who hates forest fires, but somehow maintains a good relationship with a foxhound named Toby.

## Appearance

Grayling is a young buck with a gray coat, orange eyes, and small antlers. He is easily mistaken for his twin brother, Kuharibu.

## Relationships

Kuharibu: Kuharibu is Grayling’s twin brother. The two look alike except for their eye color. Kuharibu tends to bully Grayling for being weak. Even so, Grayling loved his brother, until Toby warned him about his brother’s plan to kill him

Dusk: Dusk was Grayling’s father. Dusk tends to watch over his son and was very concerned when Grayling disappeared at night. Grayling was devastated when he found out that Kuharibu killed Dusk

Grayling’s Mother: Grayling’s Mother was an unnamed doe who died after giving birth to her children.

Toby: Toby is a close friend of Grayling. Toby is a Foxhound who saved Grayling from being torn to shreds by his friends. The two meet in secret at night, so Toby’s pack wouldn’t kill him for being friends with a fawn.

## Quotes

“Any chance you can see a friendly fawn tomorrow night? And the nights following that?”

“I never expected a foxhound to be so friendly.”

“No, Toby! That can’t be true! Kuharibu would never do that!”

“I loved you, Kuharibu, you’re my brother. But this, killing our father, this is a crime too terrible for me to forgive you for. Get away from me, *buck*, before I call my foxhound friend.”
Violet

**Violet** is notably shy, perhaps even the shyest of her siblings. Her lack of self-assertion is so great that, on at least one occasion, she didn't even bother to eat as she was intimidated by her sister, Milly, who was crowding the area where the clovers were and was eating her share quite quickly. It's possible she would have just skipped the meal that day if not for encouragement from her mother, Mama Bunny, to be brave enough to eat as she pleased even as Milly gorged all the clovers she could.

Like her sister Trixie, Violet is also notable for her "bushy tail

Josh's sister

Celia first meets Josh's older sister in the sixth book, during which Celia is berated for embarrassing Josh.

She is described as not “look[ing] much older than Doxa.” As Doxa is six years older than Josh, that would make Josh’s sister about 7-10 years older than him.

## Appearance

She is a "tall, impossibly gorgeous woman." "She had pale blue eyes, cold in color and expression, set off by her rich mahogany hair."

## Relationships

### Josh Rumbles

It is possible Josh has a rocky relationship with his older sister, because both Celia and Maddie have "never heard Josh mention her by name," and he "doesn't really talk about her at all." However, the fact that she confronted Celia belays a type of protectiveness usually born out of love, so the exact nature of their relationship is murky. After her confrontation with Celia, the two of them got in a "heated argument." Heath comments that "that doesn't sound like Josh," which could imply the two of them are generally on good terms.

### Celia Fincastle

Josh's sister and Celia meet only once, and it wasn't a harmonious connection. She seemed to be there just "to chew me [Celia] out," and made very clear her poor opinion of her brother's choice in romance. There is lingering resentment about this interaction.

## History

### The Gathering Storm

Josh’s sister attended the Summer Tournament to watch her brother play. After the disastrous news break of Josh’s kiss, she confronts Celia angrily. Later, Celia finds out Josh and his sister got into an argument about this confrontation. Kitt describes the argument as “pretty heated.”

### The Final Word

Over the summer, Higby visits Josh’s family to obtain permission for him to spend the summer with Celia. His sister is mentioned as having been present for this interaction. Her reaction was undisclosed but presumably strong.

> "My parents nearly had a heart attack," Josh commented. “And my sister..." He shook his head as he set his chin on his hand.
>
>

## Trivia

* In The Final Word, she gives Josh an e-reader for Christmas
* Josh's sister taught him how to dance

Mr. Sharlaroy is the headmaster of Elpidapax.

Rosemarie

Rosemarie is one of the granddaughters that Celia is forced to meet in one of Aunt Agatha's social gatherings. She and her younger sister, Fifi, both attended Wellington Academy, a well-known private school.

## Appearance

Rosemarie is "an older girl with perfectly styled hair, carefully manicured fingernails, and flawless attire."

## Personality

Rosemarie is best described as a snob. She is thoroughly unpleasant and impolite, disregarding the correct way to pronounce Celia's name and insulting the refreshments she is offered afterward. She seems to care about appearances - both literally, in the way she dresses, but also in the way she presents herself when adults are around. She doesn't a complete 180 from her claim that she "do[es]n't drink anything but Early Grey" when confronted with Aunt Agatha, and instead becomes the picture of a gracious guest.

The Book in the Basement

The Book in the Basement is the second book in the Neeghan's Journey series by Melissa Gunther

## Synopsis

Neeghan Fincastle spent her first year at the Renasci Academy for Gifted Students thinking she didn’t have the gifts she needed to be in her coterie, but the book she found on her first night back at home changed all that when it revealed more of her talents. Now she has to catch up on everything she missed during her first year, figure out how to use her newfound abilities, and get ready to go back to the school – and friends – she didn’t think she’d see again.

Except there’s a problem: her gifts don’t want to cooperate. No matter what she does, how hard she tries, she can’t get her newly discovered talents to work. It’s not just over the summer, either – things don’t go any better once she’s back at school. She’s still struggling with her schoolwork because she can’t do the things she needs to do for her classes, even though everyone around her seems to handle the assignments with ease. Neeghan needs to figure out what’s going on with her abilities so she doesn’t fall behind, but a certain book might have more to say about the situation... and once again, it might change everything.

He often jokes about how awful his wife's cooking is (she is actually quite talented) or how bad the injury of his patients is (ex: he had to amputate an arm or the patient had gone blind). Because of the former, Vea threatens him with a rolling pin on a regular basis. He briefly apprenticed Celia, and was a trustworthy person for her.

His tower was where Celia finally faced Casmir's memories.

### Relatives

Tarver Kunkel (brother), Theodore Kunkel (father), Winigan Kunkel (mother), Sebastion Hilleman (husband), Celia Fincastle (grandaughter), Neeghan Fincastle (grandaughter), Adelle Fincastle (daughter), Jacob Fincastle (son-in-law)

## Biographical information

### Marital status

married

Death date: October 6th

## Physical description

### Gender

Female

Violet is Celia's grandmother and the former princep. She is related to Sebastian Hilleman through marriage, and to Tarver Kunkel, who is her brother. He was ten years older than her, making her the yougest of her family by far. Her parents, Theodore and Winigan Kunkel, went to RAGS.

## History

Violet attended Renasci, following in the footsteps of her brother Tarver and her parents, Theodore and Winigan Kunkel. She went on to become princep, and ruled for forty years. She married Sebastian Hilleman, and had a single child with him, Adelle Hilleman. Late in her life, she caught an illness which lasted a year and ended in her death. She did not live long enough to see her first grandchild, Celia be born, dying eight months beforehand.

## Personality

Higby describes her as "spunky, quite stubborn and determinied, but she was one of the nicest people I ever met. As princep, she didn't tolerate any foolishness, but she always believed in second chances." She was Princep for a long time, and was "well-loved."

## Gifts

Violet had touch gifts as she was in Tattotauri. She likely did not have sight or speech gifts. It is possible she has body gifts because she mentions that she "is the strongest" between herself and Tarver.

Tainn

Tainn is a girl two years younger than Celia who attended Bellicose. She got a visit from the Kynoseur who told her to make a device shaped as an egg that contained information on Manvil Coridan. She gives this to Celia during the exchange program visit.

## Appearance

Tainn is a short, pretty girl. She has "long black hair," with dark eyes and "rich russet skin." Celia notes that her bone structure gave Tainn a look of "effortless elegance."

## Gifts

Tainn is gifted with mind and touch, and her talent is "evenly split" between the two. It is likely that she is above-average in both, as she is able to converse telepathically as a fourth year, although Celia admittedly bears the brunt of the conversation. Tainn gets gift fatigue towards the end of the conversation, which is a sign of the undeveloped nature of her gifts at that age.

## Relationships

### Kynoseur

Tainn spent an unusually large amount of time with Kynoseur, especially when taking the Kynoseur's reclusiveness into account. She does not seem to know his name, and refers to him initially only as "a man." The two communicate exclusively in dreams, although one time Tainn saw him in person, standing at the foot of her bed. Their relationship could probably be characterized as 'mentorship;' the Kynoseur coaches her in history and gifts, ultimately guiding her to create an egg-shaped storage device and to give it to Celia.

### Older Brother

Tainn has an older brother with whom she is reasonably close. She is willing to divulge to him her experience with the Kynoseur, something that would be both personal and taboo. However, her brother believes her to be imagining him, perhaps implying a gap in their trust.

### Celia Fincastle

Tainn admires Celia, and puts herself at great personal risk in order to provide her with aid. Celia, in turn, is grateful to Tainn, but does not extend complete trust to her due to their limited interactions.

Rambert Doyen

Mr. Doyen is the Headmaster of RAGS. He makes the welcoming feast speech each year, and it is a tradition to respond to it with a groan.

Mr. Doyen is antagonistic towards Celia Fincastle, blaming her for pranks during *Book in the Attic*, and not granting her any slack on her family tree project during *Key to the Past*. However, he mellowed out as the years progressed, and did not try to prevent her from pursuing Independent Studies.

## Appearance

He is described as "slightly pudgy," and "balding," with just two strips of hair above his ears.

Ginessa Vargas

Gina is Neeghan's first and closest friend at Renasci. They share a room in Aquilegia.

## Appearance

Gina has "skin quite a bit deeper than Neeghan's," as well as dark eyes, and long dark hair she wears pulled back on one side with a butterfly barrette. She also has "two thin silver bracelelts on her right arm."

## Gifts

Gina is in Aquilegia, so she has sight gifts. She also professes to having done badly in speech or touch classes, so she either has mind or body if she has a secondary gift.

## Personality

Gina is "soft-spoken" and likely shy. She is nonetheless friendly, and outright tells Neeghan that she wants to be friends.

Kevin Fackler

Kevin Fackler is a kid in Celia's grade at Renasci. He was involuntarily involved in a plot to expel her.

## Personality

Kevin Fackler is a trusting kid, who is easily scared by authority or the threat of punishment. He shakes and stutters copiously when questioned by Heamaster Doyen.

## Gifts

Kevin Fackler is in Celia's physical education class. Because sevvies take all five classes, this does not necessarily mean he has body gifts. However, because he was assigned Neel as a mint, he either has body or touch. It is probably touch, because after the essay-swap debacle, it is Professor Mesbur who offers Kevin comfort.

## History

### Book in the Attic

Kevin Fackler embarked on his first year at Renasci at the same time that Celia Fincastle did. Also similar to her, he was assigned Neel Winokur as a student mentor. He went to Neel for studying advice, as well as editing for his essays. Neel took advantage of that, and, in a bid to get Celia expelled, returned to Kevin what was actually a copy of Celia's essay. Then, when Celia handed in her paper, it looked to be copied off of Kevin's, and she was accused of cheating. Both students were summoned to the headmaster's office, where it quickly became apparent Kevin knew nothing of what Neel had done. Neel admitted fully to his crimes, and Kevin was given no punishment beyond rewriting his stolen essay.

Granny Mo

Granny Mo is first introduced in the third book, *Flash of Red.* She is Celia's trip director when they go to Fleurdemer for their fifth year trip, and must do the trips regularly because she supervises Neeghan’s as well. She is a feisty old woman with an unreal amount of energy.

## Appearance

She has a pair of reading glasses that she sets on her nose and glares at people over them.

## Gifts

Her gifts are: being a drill sergeant. It is very likely she has body gifts given the speed and endurance she expects everyone to keep up with.
Elpidapax

Elpidapax is a school located down south, near Fleardemer. Students can take weekend trips into town (and puchase pralines). This town is also where the school's BUS location is. To ferry them to the actual school, every year, as a tradition, students are brought to the school on a large paddle wheeler called the *Ravelin.*

Elpidapax splits their school into CG's (Classifying groups). These are Montagu, Legare, Chartres, Dumaine, and Conti. They are all named after people who were important to the school or town. The head of Chartes is Mrs. Mosston, and the overall headmaster is Mr. Sharlaroy.

The clue Celia found at Elpidapax was in the front hallway, and said "Seven is lucky, the number of school; Faynen grand entry."

## Appearance

Elpidapax is a collection of buildings. Many are brick, but some are painted in fun but muted tones. Many of them are named after flowers such as the Azalea Building and the Primrose Pavilion. Celia describes the architecture as "French Creole style," and says that even the soccovolle stadium retains it.

### Building Centrale

The main building is known as the Building Centrale. It is rectangular, three 1/2 stories tall, and orange. It is decorated with wrought iron balconies upon which are home to a collection of plants and vines. The entryway to this building is a set of french doors that open to a two-story foyer with polished wood floors and a spiral staircase. The main hallway, which stretches the length of the entire building, features gorgeous artwork from local artists. The pieces are rotated every six weeks.

### Yellow Building

This building is found to the right of Building Centrale. It is yellow, with similar balconies, but is smaller than the main building.

### The Magnolia Building

The Magnolia building stands to the other side of Building Centrale. It is similar is appearance to Yellow Building but for its paint job. It is where Celia, Audra, and Doxa stayed during their exchange program visit. Elpidapax is notable for its tall beds. You needed a footstool to get onto them.

### The Conservatory

The conservatory houses the library, and true to its name, it is a very airy and open space. There are glass walls on two sides of the room.  It is unknown if there are also plants kept inside.

## Attendees

Known attendees include Truno, Lyerly, and Stephanie Supak.

The Book in the Attic

**SPOILER WARNING: Plot details follow.**

The Book In The Attic is the first book in the Celia's Journey series. In this book, Celia Fincastle discovers that she is old enough to attend Renasci Academy for Gifted Students, the top school in the Demesne, a place she has never heard of.

## Synopsis

A mysterious book, unusual abilities, and a school that isn't quite what it seems - Celia Fincastle is about to step into a whole different world, and she has no idea what awaits her. She's got new friends and some big expectations for her future, but someone doesn't want her to stay. Celia must figure out who's behind the plot and stop it - fast - because there's more at stake than she realizes...

## Plot

Celia Fincastle lives with her Aunt Agatha, who is strict and overbearing. One night, Celia is told to go clean out the attic of Aunt Agatha's incredibly old house, and finds a book that seems to call to her. Later that night, Celia notices that the book is glowing, causing her to open it. This decision sparks a series of events that lead her to choose to attend Renasci Academy for Gifted Students. On her way there, she meets Maddie Hannagan, who becomes her best friend.

At Renasci, students are sorted into five coteries. When coteries are announced, Celia finds out that she has equal propensity for all of them. Due to her connection with Maddie she chooses Mensaleon. Her roomates include Maddie as well as Doxa Geleafa, who is bully and specifically targets Celia due to her status. She sets up a series of three pranks each of which she attempts to pin on Celia. The first is flowers that explode into purple confetti. The second in a host of purple bouncy balls that are everywhere. The third is dressing up the school mascots as lions. While none of these pranks manage to get Celia expelled, they successfully implicate her in the crimes.

The attempts at framing ramp up as Celia's perfect scores on exams get leaked, and linked to a missing answer sheet. She is accused of cheating, and very nearly gets expelled when soon after this she is found to have the same essay as another students. By working with Professor Legaspi, she clears her name. The culprit is turns out to be one of her student mentors, Neel Winokur,

Eventually, all problems are solved by Celia's clever thinking, and Celia is sent home without any worries, soon to return to another year of Renasci.

* Celia has a special credit card with the symbol of a ram on it
* Celia makes friends named Libby, Galena, Josh, Heath, and of course Maddie.

Speech gifts are a type of gift one can recieve from the Overseer covering communication and languages. It's coterie at Renasci is Sparchursus.

## Sub-abilities

L'Azzula is a type of Speech gift that allows communication across distances. It manifests in a blue light. It is a skill of medium to high difficulty, as it is introduced in third-year courses. It also allows the sending of physical objects in the form of letters, an ability that Anne Legaspi demonstrated use of. It is likely that communication through light (L'Azzula) and the sending of mail through light (L'Azulla) are different abilities, and L'Azzulla is related to the abilityy Veheration.

### Faunahylstantation

This complicated word described the ability to converse via a mental link with animals. Celia demonstrates it by talking with Warley, Heath's dog. It is exceedingly rare, to the point that Blaine "thought [it] was just a myth."

Erin Morgan had a fantastic adventure, but now it’s over, and she knows she’s never going back through the portal that took her to the castle in Ner. Determined to put her traveling behind her and resettle in her real life, Erin does her best to enjoy the rest of her family’s vacation and get back to normal.

Her plans change when she gets home and finds herself in possession of an interesting journal that mentions the people and places she encountered in Ner. When she reads of a danger that threatens the people she’s grown close to during the short time she’s spent at
the castle, she knows she must find a way to either warn or help them.

Now, instead of trying to figure out how to get home, she’s trying to figure out how to get back to Ner. Her first roadblock is getting permission from her parents, who aren’t exactly thrilled with the idea of her traveling through a portal to a faraway castle. If she manages that, she still has to figure out how to unlock the portal and open it and make it back to Ner in time to help her friends…and hope she gets there before it’s too late.

Headmistress Fallair

Fallair was the headmistress of Bellicose when Celia visited. Fallair had a strong connection to the political movement led by Casimir Coridan.She appeared to be subject to outside rules and regulations and had frequent meetings with unknown persons in the basement.

## Appearance

Headmistress Fallair has blonde hair that she keeps pulled back into a bun "without a single hair out of place." When Celia first met her, she was wearing a navy suit, with a white shirt beneath, and "navy pumps" to match.

## Personality

Headmaster Fallair is "stoic," abrupt, and exceedingly unfriendly. During her time as headmaster, she was beyond strict, always giving "everyone the most punishment possible." Perhaps relatedly, she was curt when talking with people. Quiroz calls her "kind of paranoid" which is likely an understatement.

Fifi

Fifi is one of the granddaughters Celia is forced to meet through one of Aunt Agatha's social gatherings. She and her older sister, Rosemarie, attended Wellington Academy, a well-known private school before Fifi transferred to Illumine.

## Appearance

Fifi is very similar in appearance to her sister Rosemarie, who has curly hair and fashionable clothing. Her curls are "blond" and "haphazard."

## Personality

During their first encounter, Celia described Fifi as "whiny." This is easily attributed to hunger and her younger age at the time, and soon afterwards she is "all smiles and sweetness." It is likely that this change and all indications of her personality at this age are an imitation of her older sister. When Celia meets her Illumine she displays shy body language, and is very polite. She displays a striking understanding of the politics of Celia's position in the demense, as well as a deferential respect to Celia and the position she holds.

## History

### Flash of Red

Leading up to and during *Flash of Red*, Fifi attends Wellington Academy. She cites the tea party at Aunt Agatha's house at the beginning of that year as a turning point in her life. She began to ask questions about her lifestyle and what it meant, eventually approaching a classmate who she noticed was "different." It was through this girl, and a recent article about Celia in a demense magazine, that she found out about the gifted community and alternate education options.

### Gathering Storm

During Celia's visit to Illumine, Fifi requests a private visit with the princep to-be. The motivation for this seems to purely be closure. She tells Celia an abridged version of her life story, and how Celia's presence in her life fundamentally changed it. She also assured Celia of her discretion in details such as Celia's family, location, and childhood life.
