her parents won’t let her over the cauldron without adult supervision
she is naturally good at speaking with animals though!(her and avery are besties HAHA)

i would also imagine him as a lord, or aristocracy cuz the headless horseman is giving lord of something lol, yall seen his clothes right?
playing pranks
getting gifts for his friends/spending money on his friends
think rich kid asshole, but lovingly LMAO
when he goes too far with his jokes and winds up hurting someone’s feelings
being the oldest he kinda directs the group
a leader frfr
i imagine him being a little closed minded about humans because of how they treated him and his dad
he gets so excited for harpers potions because they change the color of his “flame” on the inside
also really enjoys roasts :)
VAMPIRE: VALDEMAR

being/turning into a bat!
he loves to let everyone know hes a vampire
cape swishes and hissing are his fav things to do haha
lil man is all vibes no thoughts

curliest hair!
he likes the look of like the old school vampires so he slicks it back
2 moms!

literally everything and anything
very excitable
practically jumping off the walls haha
when people are mean/close-minded and aren’t open to hearing him out/change
making people smile
staying still
taking things seriously
blood duh…
but i think his favorite human food would be empanadas
WEREWOLF: AVERY

he’s obsessed with monster stories
unfortunately he gets bullied for it
i imagine him with kinda an 80s dork wardrobe
but as a “ghost” he’s just gotta white sheet with holes and his glasses
a nerdy frazzled looking kid
