Marion LaRue

Marion LaRue is an elemental magic student who earned her scholarship at LeFay Academy through meticulous self-study. Fiery, rebellious, and carefree, Marion is not one to back down from a challenge.

Audrey Clary

As the heiress of the renowned alchemist Clary family, Audrey Clary is expected to create a magnum opus (an alchemical masterpiece) in order to bring the world closer towards the highest state of perfection. Audrey, however, secretly wants to be a healer, an occupation considered to be way beneath her status. Responsible and compassionate, Audrey is torn between following the path her family has laid out for her and choosing the one her heart desires the most.

However, she is genuinely kind and compassionate, as she is the only one who understands and supports Audrey’s interest in healing magic.
