Sometimes it *is* your fault, and that doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't get a hug about it.

Adorable prosocial magic geek. Sometimes tempted to foolhardy mental self-modification; sometimes tempted to martyrdom of variable foolhardiness; often unsettlingly good at trolley problems. She'll immanentize the eschaton with a little help from her friends.

Snarky nerd who likes to fight. Very into exciting adventures and being the "good" in "epic battles between good and evil." Keeps expecting to have an experience so awful that it sours them on fighting altogether and it keeps not happening.

Everything Kaylee likes about herself except, crucially, the moral compass.

Variant of the Bryce template with a sprinkling of comic-book child prodigy, an option on a nicer home life, and a tendency to become Spider-Man.

Bryce debryced, as in "there was a girl named bryce"

Aspires to messianic forgiveness and understanding; usually winds up cheating with magic.

Personally disastrous domain expert who teeters charmingly between smug and panicky.

Based on Greg House, but not faithfully enough to have the same name.

When a kid is the Chosen One, sometimes a Giles will be there trying his best to do right by them despite their Chosenness. Depending on who Chose them and what they were Chosen for, this may be a hollow comfort to the kid.

Loyal to a fault but extremely skeptical of Shenanigans. Does not want to be the protagonist.

Batty alts into those types of magical creatures which are absolutely not a metaphor for anything in real life because if they were they'd be an extremely problematic one. She's smart and educated and well-spoken and defensive of the right of other members of her species to be self-actualized by things you wouldn't think people could be self-actualized by.

...but if you think you've found an example of it in real life, you haven't.

Very very very vile and evil and don't you dare try to tell him otherwise.

Type of guy who is terrified and deeply resentful of good and pure and sacred things and wants to violently throw them from their pedestals.

Believes with all her heart that if she loves somebody hard enough she can carve out everything wrong with them and replace it with goodness and light and beauty.
