Christopher Spellcrafter/Relationships

## Friends

### Penny Dreadful

When Chris first came to Terminus, he felt something drawing him closer to an encounter with her. Upon becoming lost in a crowd near the administration building and the Headmaster's office, Chris noticed her out of everyone in the crowd. Calling out to her and asking for help, she agreed, but remained weary. From there, the two discovered they shared a dorm and grew used to one another. Chris tried his best to get closer to her not only because they would be sharing a room, but he also had developed a fairly large crush. The two went on to become partners, thus setting their future in motion. Penny opened up to him more and began to trust him, and Chris grew more powerful at a rapid rate while also becoming more brave. By the end of book one, the two can already read one another's thoughts and speak mentally. Penny is second in command of their squad.

### Megan Fairyhorn

Chris respects Megan's general knowledge and normally takes her advice when it is given. They got along right away because Megan found it interesting that Chris, like her and Emily, was an Earthling. Upon becoming a member of Chris's squad, she took up the role of the sole healer and field advisor. She is the group's cook in emergency situations, and Chris is often left at a loss when she is missing. Megan gets along with Chris and her partner far more than her own, most likely due to their heavily contrasting personalities. In a way, Megan reminded Chris a lot of Ty which helped him miss home a lot less. Currently, Chris is keeping a secret about Ian from Megan, but if she were to find out, it would certainly be disastrous.

### Ian Dreadful

When Chris and Ian first met, Chris had just been beaten to a critical state by Hunter and healed by Megan. Ian seemed incentive at first, but he quickly revealed that he had agreed to go and find Chris on behalf of Penny. When Ian joined the squad, he became the primary tank who was supported by Penny. Ian also keeps the squad's spirits up with his fun-loving personality, but Chris now knows that part of this is an act to ensure Megan never realizes who he is. Chris has agreed to hide his role in the destruction of Japan, but both of them know the truth will come out eventually. While Chris pushes Ian to talk to Megan, he knows that ultimately it is his decision and will not interfere unless necessary. Ian has assured Chris multiple times not to worry about feeling inferior to his three compatriots, but to no avail.

### Autumn Brood

Chris had always found her to be extremely kind and powerful. It caught him off guard whenever he would call her name and she would just simply appear to answer questions or assist him like during the Battle of Terminus. He feels comfort knowing that she's always around and likes her company when she is. She has often been the one healing him whenever he would get seriously injured. Autumn has developed a rather obvious crush on Chris, but he has not noticed or returned these feelings. Autumn has been known to drastically change behavior around him and become far more bashful.

### Gatchi Mitchell

When he first met Gatchi and witnessed the act she was putting on, he saw her as incredibly shy and kind. He wanted to welcome her to his school and show her around, and he did this despite Victoria's wariness of her being there. Gatchi soon revealed herself as a Sorcerer and an Imperial operative, none to the surprise of Victoria. She was there to capture Victoria, eliminate witnesses, and a third objective she added for herself was taking Chris as her very own apprentice. After a battle in the Imagination Realm, Gatchi ultimately freed them from the spell, and surrendered herself. He wasted no time in forgiving the young Sorcerer and offering to remain friends, believing that her behavior was more than simply an act. Gatchi fled and Chris has not seen her since. He wonders where she is now and in the back of his mind worries what her fate might be as she is now a traitor to the Empire.

### Ty Snagg

Ty and Chris were close friends back when he was in middle school on Earth. Chris always knew him as someone who was interested in school, science specifically, and he had thought about being the class president. He was also very interested in the mysterious attack on Japan. He was more level headed and studious than Jackie, their other friend and was always there to either calm her down when she was getting too riled up or pick on her. Chris loved being around them both and misses them dearly. He wonders if he will ever be able to see his friends again, but knows that his work is keeping them safe.

### Jackie King

Just like Ty, Jackie was a very close friend of Chris. He always knew her as outgoing but very protective of him. She would jump at the chance to defend him from bullies back in school or accompany him around town. Chris also knew her as being a tom boy who had a love for baseball. Ty would always get on her about being too reckless and Chris would find this amusing. Jackie would frequently assist Chris in looking for his missing sister prior to the events of book one. He wonders if he will ever be able to see his friends again, but knows that his work is keeping them safe.

## Family

### Emily Spellcrafter

Emily and Chris had not always been close, but after their parent's death, Emily did her absolute best to protect the only family she had left: her brother. This led her to join the Wizards and briefly abandon him in favor of trying to prevent the conflict from reaching Earth. Chris is frequently frustrated at Emily for keeping information from him that could result in him being harmed, and dislikes how overprotective she can be. Since the events of the first book, Emily has trained Chris in combat, magic, problem solving, and even taught him to give better orders. Because of this, Chris's combat style matches Emily's almost perfectly with a slight hint of Penny's. Emily is concerned about him being the leader of a squad, but grows more impressed every day. She personally assigned his squad an advisor, Evangeline Andrews, that would keep him safe and mission focused.

### Nylah Spellcrafter

As he had been told by his sister, Emily, his mother was very caring and spoiled him rotten as a child. He doesn't know much about her, only brief memories and mostly what Emily had told him. He knew she wanted to protect him from all the dangerous things that followed them, and it gives him some form of closure knowing that. He wishes he could have known her more though.

### Stephen Spellcrafter

Chris never knew much about his father either except that he was brave and strong. He knew that his father did his best to protect the people he loved, just like he did. He wishes he could have known him better before he got killed.

## Other Allies

### Nicholas Delore

Chris currently serves under General Delore as one of his Wizard squad leaders. Though the task is sometimes overwhelming to Chris, he does his best to preform. Delore appreciates Chris's improvised tactics and ability to work with such a wide variety of personalities without trouble. He will sometimes get into disagreements with his sister Emily over just how capable Chris is, but these disputes often ended with Chris preforming the task anyway.

### Headmaster Jacob Brood

The Headmaster has full faith in Chris as both a Wizard, a leader, and a partner to Penny. Despite lacking in strength, knowledge, magical power, and skill at the start; the Headmaster found Chris to be the most balanced out of Megan, Ian, and Penny.

### Violet Fleur

Chris isn't too sure what to make of Violet. She is a skilled pilot and fighter, but he detests how she treats Penny as someone inferior simply because she is a Sorcerer. Still, he respects her as a colleague and tries to get along. Violet has commended him for doing what is necessary like during the Battle of Terminus where he escorted her to the airfield.

## Enemies

### Hunter Spiritbringer

Since the moment Hunter tried to train Chris in combat, he has treated Chris as if he was beneath him. This ended when Penny stepped in and decided to teach him instead, and most likely defusing what would have been far worse. Hunter gave Chris many reasons to despise him from hurting his sister to assisting the Empire during the Battle of Terminus. This all come to ahead on top of the clock tower which once stood over Terminus. The battle resulted in the complete destruction of the structure and near fatal injury to himself and Penny. Chris does not trust him and will often let his anger towards him control his decisions.

### Chaos Dreadful

Chris doesn't know much about Penny's father Chaos other than he is extremely powerful and leads the Empire. He was already intimidated by him before, but after watching Autumn battle him and lose, he feels it is best to avoid him. He does understand that Penny still cares about her dad so he doesn't hate him, however, he is wary and knows that at some point, Penny will have to face him even if he hopes that never happens. If Penny does try to fight her father, Chris will stand by her side.

### Vedi Der Ritter

He is perhaps the one person Chris fears the most at the moment to the point where he would rather avoid battle altogether. After he killed Victoria, Chris felt he could do nothing against Vedi, and if it was not for Autumn he might not even be alive. Chris is well aware that Vedi may not be in control of his actions due to the insanity effects caused by the Shadow plague, but cannot let go of his actions. He explained to Chris that he was once like him, but soon saw the futility of his actions and gave in to the events unfolding around him. Though Penny does not blame Vedi for his actions, Chris certainly does, and has even gone as far as asking Ian to practice with him to prepare for another encounter.
