For the elves who made their home in the snowy mountains, nothing held more value than the pursuit of knowledge. Thanks to this reverence for learning, Lumisade's Academy became a place where extraordinary talents from all over the world would gather.
At the helm of this prestigious academy stands Charlotte, the youngest principal in its history. However, her appointment wasn't easily accepted. Many believed she didn't deserve the title, saying the best she could hope for was to graduate magna cum laude or become an assistant professor.
Even in the face of doubt, there were those who offered Charlotte their unwavering support: her mother, her greatest source of strength, Laphlaes, who had rescued her during the war, and her one and only aunt, Lucilicca. With the support of two Archmages, who were the backbone of Lumisade itself, she was able to challenge the Academy's directors and council's prejudices.
Of course, it wasn't just their support that allowed Charlotte to shift perceptions about her. Contrary to what many believed, her life had been anything but easy. She had barely escaped death during the war, and without the scholarship, attending the Academy would have been unthinkable. Prejudice followed her—for being of mixed blood, for having no father. She hadn't even known she had an aunt until recently. Despite it all, Charlotte lived it through, holding her head high. If you were to know of her story, many would find themselves moved by Charlotte's resilience.
No one could truly grasp the depth of Charlotte's heartbreak when Laphlaes was forced from his position as First Archmage, and when Lucilicca, her beloved aunt, left Lumisade. The loss of both her most trusted mentor and her closest family tore a deep wound in her heart.
But as always, Charlotte carries on, with hope as her guiding light. She believes that as long as she doesn't give up, fate will eventually turn in her favor. For those who have stood by her, and for those who still need her help, Charlotte's light will never waver, shining ever bright.
