#Fenn knows EXACTLY who to sell to in town

[shaakyhaands]

Hear me out:

An Akedian student who knows all the gossip at the academy because they’re always “sleeping” while others are talking.

They’re like, “oh, it’s that Akedian student— they’re always napping in wackass locations, don’t mind them. Anyways, you’ll never believe which S rank I saw in town…”

But that’s the thing: that Akedian student? They’re never actually sleeping. They’re just closing their eyes.

Honestly, it started completely by accident. They were resting their eyes one day, about to genuinely take a nap, when a group of students started talking about their “special spot” in town where they got the best desserts. Not sure what to do, and not really wanting to interrupt them, the Akedian froze. After a few moments, they decided to just roll with it, and faked sleeping.

This happens a few more times, with different groups of students and townies. Soon, the Akedian realizes the interesting opportunity their reputation has inadvertently granted them. Now, what will they do with it?

Overtime, keeping with their scheme, they amass a massive, expansive library of information. Dirt on nearly every student, professor, people in town. S ranks and their valets, nobles, even some kings and queens. It really is amazing, what people are willing to say when they think no one is listening.

Then, an S rank fangirl pisses them off one day. That’s fine enough, happens more often than not. But when then woman starts harassing their familiar, the Akedian sees red. Within a few weeks, the fan girl’s deepest, most secret betrayal is circulating around the campus like wildfire. Her reputation is a wreck, her friendships are broken. How did anyone find out? She never told anyone, only her closest friend…

NGL, I think this student would be a more successful informant than J*sper. Spoilers for J*sper’s route, but that man has a whole ass disguise he has to maintain, plus whatever conversations and situations he finds himself in. He has to extract the information from the target. Meanwhile this Akedian closes their eyes, and the targets start just giving the information willingly.

Some students catch on, but know better than to expose the Akedian. Mainly because for a small fee, they can get whatever information they want.

“Yawwn. Study levitation magic if you want to pass the next exam.”

“Toa’s favourite candy is caramels. He’ll let you sneak out after curfew if you slide him a few, goodnight.”

“Sherry Invidia is growing a marijuana garden with Aquia Avari. Buy from Fenn, he’ll give you a discount.”

Tell me this wouldn’t be a fun character for a story Event??
