Joby Worsham

Joby Worsham (b. 1994) was a Unicorn Rider and Instructor at the Eyrie in 2022. His unicorn, Winter's Phantom, was killed by Agatha Everhart, the Executioner in 2007 and he was luckily let go as he was only a Hatchling at the Eyrie at the time.

## Biography

### Early Life

Joby Worsham was born on The Island in 1994, much of his early life is unknown but it is known that he opened the Hatchery Door and started training at the Eyrie as a spirit wielder in 2007.

### Training at the Eyrie

When Joby began training at the Eyrie, the Weaver was gaining strength and unfortunately twenty-four unicorns were killed at the Chaos Cup qualifiers. In the same year, Agatha Everhart, the Weaver's sister, was given a choice to either be killed or give the Council the names of all the spirit wielders and their unicorns would be killed whilst they were only imprisoned.

Joby wasn't imprisoned as they couldn't see the danger in him since he was only thirteen and didn't know the true power of the spirit element. He was nothing without Winter's Phantom and with no unicorn, he was declared a nomad.

### Working as an Instructor

In 2022, Joby became the Instructor of Mainlander classes to the Hatchlings, which was subject to ridicule and gossip amongst the students. In his first class, he explained to the Hatchlings his past to clear up all the rumours of him being a ghost and other things. He eventually became close to Skandar Smith, who he later found out was a spirit wielder.

#### Skandar the Spirit Wielder

During his first earth session, Skandar Smith fell off his unicorn and since the domes had come down, Joby, who knew Skandar's secret, was watching him and when his sleeve rolled up to reveal his spirit wielder's blaze, Joby rushed over and took him to his treehouse. Whilst in the treehouse, he reveals he too is a spirit wielder and shows Skandar the faded mutation he has on his foot. After this, Joby tells Skandar not to come back or to try and stop the Weaver.

#### Joining the Weaver

In Spring 2022, he left the Eyrie to join the Weaver. In his treehouse trying to find out his whereabouts were Skandar, Bobby Bruna, Flo Shekoni and Mitchell Henderson. Skandar took a leaflet from the treehouse which had the Weaver's symbol at the top and read:

**WERE YOU DISAPPOINTED AT THE HATCHERY DOOR?**

**HAVE YOU DREAMED OF HAVING A UNICORN BUT BEEN TOLD IT WAS NEVER YOUR DESTINY?**

**HAS YOUR UNICORN DIED AND LEFT YOU LOST AND ALONE?**

**DO YOU FEEL IT'S UNFAIR THAT THOSE WITH BONDED UNICORNS HAVE ALL THE POWER?**

We're here to help.

We're here to break open the Hatchery.

We're here to ensure every person feels the magic of the bond.

*BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES A UNICORN.*

*AND EVERY UNICORN DESERVES A RIDER.*

JOIN US.

### Weaved

On the day of the 2022 Training Trial, Worsham was among the riders with the Weaver that Skandar and his friends confronted. When Aspen McGrath had come and the Weaver had escaped, he and the other Weaved apart from Simon Fairfax were freed.

#### Free Spirit Wielder

By the time of Skandar's second year at the Eyrie Joby had moved out of his treehouse for parts unknown and took all of his things. He may have gone into hiding when Dorian Manning and the rest of the Silver Circle had started threatening the freed Spirit Wielders. The current wearbouts of Joby are unknown but his treehouse is currently being used by Agatha Everhart, as she is now Skandar's Spirit teacher.

## Physical appearance

Joby is a man with long blonde hair, pale skin and sky blue eyes. He often has his hair tied up. Joby is presumably tall. For a mutation, he has a spirit blaze on his foot.
