Belvoire Staff

## DESCRIPTION

The **Belvoire Staff** consists of Belvoire Academia of the Arcane's headmaster and professors, and they are a part of the academic community that works in both teaching and research. The professors are also the heads of each Elemental House, with Professor **Idalia Keegan** from Ignis, Professor **Thaddeus Aquinas** from Aqua, Professor **Corrine dela Vega** from Ventus, and Professor **Dunstan Granville** from Terra. **Mythos** is Belvoire Academia's headmaster.

## ROLE

The Belvoire professors also have the authority to award and dock points to houses, grant detention, and write notes for certain areas and activities that were typically prohibited. **Mythos** is the one who chooses the house winner at the end of each school year. The staff  are prohibited from abusing students by utilizing magic or force. Without the headmaster's consent, professors could only remove pupils after giving them a detention.

It is presumed that mages did not need any form of specific education or training if they wished to become teachers; they should only possess knowledge and skill in the subject of their teaching. Of course, this all depended on who was the current headmaster in question. In the events of The Arcana, Mythos agrees to having Indirah Alnazar as a substitute for **Dunstan Granville**, the Divination professor, when he was sick, because Granville knew Indirah is knowledgeable enough for the subject. Belvoire Academia's professors were very talented in magic overall, being able to perform advanced magical feats with little difficulty. This implies that professors were highly accomplished and qualified mages with mastery in most magical fields.

## Biographical Information

### Occupation

Belvoire Academia of the Arcane's headmaster

## Production Information

#### DESCRIPTION

**Igneel Mythos** is one of the supporting characters in The Arcana, as well as Belvoire Academia of the Arcane's headmaster. He's the assumed love interest of **Corrine dela Vega**, the Charms professor from House Ventus, and they are the ones who took Kellan Xalvador to the Melendezes after he's revived by Xylon Lozano. Mythos' Patron Arcana is most likely **the Emperor**.

#### PERSONALITY

Mythos likes challenges and is skeptical when things get too easy for him. He's reliable and infectious; he's good at comforting, cheering and encouraging others, like when he comforted Kellan at the **Sorting**. He never cares about personal gains and losses, and is generous and compassionate. Mythos could be a little careless as he could easily offend others. At times, he could also be impatient, uneasy to be persuaded, and has lack of plans and preparations.

#### PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

It's described by Kellan that Mythos is young-looking; with straight light brown hair that reaches his nape, a stoic facial expression, and a tall and lean figure. He's imagined by the writers to have black thin-framed glasses, turquoise eyes, and is about 5'10" in height. Mythos would be wearing a white dress shirt with a black necktie around his collar and add on a gray waistcoat. A black trench coat blazer is added on top of his outfit, with black slacks and black leather shoes. The school's emblem would also be on the left side of his blazer.

#### TRIVIAS

* His first name, "Igneel", means "fire" or "flame", and is considered to be a dragon name since the writers based his name off of a Fairy Tail character, Igneel, the foster father of Natsu Dragneel, and is relevant to him having a fire sign. "Mythos" means "myth" or "mythology".
	+ His name was almost "Mythros", but it doesn't roll out of the tongue as easily.
* The writers imagined Mythos as Kim Myung-Dae from Bj Alex- from his hair down to his body structure.
* Contrary to popular belief that Mythos is a *DILF*, Mythos is actually only in his mid 30s.
* **Austin Dy** mentions that Mythos wouldn't know how to sing or dance, and is usually at a sidelines when it comes to proms and parties. He's also a workaholic.

### Alias(es)

(Professor) Keegan
Terror Teacher/The Little Mermaid as a Villain (by Sapphire)

### Occupation

Dark Arts professor at Belvoire Academia of the Arcane

## Production Information

#### DESCRIPTION

**Idalia Keegan** is a minor character in The Arcana, being one of the professors working under **Headmaster Mythos** in Belvoire Academia of the Arcane. She teaches the **Dark Arts**.

#### PERSONALITY

Keegan might constantly come off as harsh, cynical, spiteful, bitter, and snarky. She projected gravitas, authority, and control, and like **Professor Granville**, she was able to maintain class silence without exerting any effort. She was exceedingly vindictive and prone to holding grudges against those she didn't like. She disliked Sapphire Chauvera in particular since she recognized her as the daughter of her former classmates- immediately assuming Sapphire is arrogant and attention-seeking.

#### PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Sapphire described Keegan as a slim woman in her late 20s, with reddish-brown hair tied into a messy bun and bright aqua-blue eyes with a stoic facial expression, even going as far as Sapphire saying she looks like "The Little Mermaid character but as a villain". Her height is around 5'8". Keegan wears a white dress shirt with the first few buttons unbuttoned, and her black trench coat is only resting on her shoulders. While **Corrine dela Vega** wears a pencil skirt as her uniform, she wears slacks instead, with black stilettos as footwear.

#### TRIVIAS

* Idalia's name means "behold the sun", which is of Greek origin, and her last name, Keegan, is of Irish origin that means "son of *Aodhagán*"- a diminutive of the Irish name *Aodh*, meaning "fire" or "fiery". Her name matches her personality, as well as her being the head of House Ignis.
* Like Kellan Xalvador, it was never mentioned when her birthday is, but because Sapphire mentions that Keegan has aqua-colored eyes, it's safe to assume that her birthstone is aquamarine, which means her birthday is on March.
	+ Since Keegan is the head of Ignis, her zodiac is a fire sign; this puts her birthday in late March- making her born under Aries.
* Her character design is similar to that of Makima from *Chainsaw Man*.

### Occupation

Imperia professor at Belvoire Academia of the Arcane

## Production Information

#### DESCRIPTION

The **Imperia** professor, **Thaddeus Aquinas**, is a minor character in The Arcana who also works under **Headmaster Mythos** in Belvoire Academia of the Arcane. He is also the coach for **Volley Vortex**, a sport in The Arcana universe.

#### PERSONALITY

Unlike the feisty **Idalia Keegan**, Aquinas is calm, and very understanding. He isn't as stern, although he does dislike misbehaving students- he knew he needed to silence the class when Kellan's classmates laughed at him for not conjuring the water Imperia strong enough. He believes that his students have great magic in them, and he makes sure that everyone is keeping up with his classes by constantly checking in on his students.

#### PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Aquinas is a young man with a mop of wavy black hair that reaches his ears and back of the neck, his bangs usually side-swept to the left. He wears black thin-framed glasses over his purple eyes. He wears a long-sleeved button-up shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his slacks and shoes are black. Aquinas has a navy blue vest added with a necktie around his collar. He is around 5'6" in height.

#### TRIVIAS

* His name, "Thaddeus", is a Biblical name which means that "praise or confesses", although it also comes from an *Aramaic* expression, meaning "heart", and so has the meaning of "courageous".
	+ However, it may also derive from the name *Theodorus*, meaning "God's Gift", from the Greek *theos*, meaning "God", and *doron*, meaning "gift".
* His last name, "Aquinas", is equivalent to *Aquinos*, stemming from the Latin word aqua, meaning "water" in English, which is a nod to the house he is the head of.
* The writers somehow kept imagining Milo Thatch from *Atlantis: The Lost Empire* as Aquinas; although this might only be because Milo's grandfather is named *Thaddeus Thatch*.

## Production Information

#### DESCRIPTION

**Corrine dela Vega**, a supporting character in The Arcana, is the **Charms** professor in Belvoire Academia of the Arcane, working under **Headmaster Mythos**.

#### PERSONALITY

Among all professors, Professor dela Vega is the friendliest as she likes to relate to the students as much as possible- she wants to be seen as their "fun older sister" rather than a mother figure who tells them what to do. Although this is the case, it's known in *Chapter* *III: The Empress*, that she wanted to adopt Kellan Xalvador instead of having him being under the care of his maternal aunt.

#### PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

With her height being 5'4", dela Vega is a petite woman with dark brown hair that she ties into a low ponytail, often resting on her right shoulder, and her eyes are bright blue. She wears a lilac-colored vest over a white dress shirt, and she tucks her button-up into her black pencil skirt. She also wears black stockings and has black stilettos like **Idalia Keegan**.

#### TRIVIAS

* Her name is a variation of "Corinne" the French and English variant of "Corina". It's also of ancient Greek origin, derived from *κόρη* (korē) meaning "beautiful maiden". The name "Dela" means small winged one, and "Vega" is of Arabic, Scandinavian, and Aboriginal origin meaning "swooping eagle", which relates to her house, Ventus.
* It was never confirmed by the writers if Professor dela Vega really is the familiar of **Mythos**.
