Grace Whitlock

character

# Grace Whitlock **Type:** character # Grace Whitlock **Type:** character ## Grace Whitlock **Role:** Soleia's rival at Saint Lucienne's Academy. First Form, East Wing. The soft-voiced, attention-hungry new girl — a Gwendoline-type who performs vulnerability as strategy and has already declared war on Soleia without a single witness. **Appearance / Vibe** - Blonde hair, carefully pretty, uniform pressed to regulation and then personalised exactly as far as the rules allow. - Never looks flustered on purpose — the artful ruin is *engineered*. Cries prettily, at volume, when there is an audience. - Arrives trailing a three-girl starter pack with matching gold hair clips by hour four of day one. **Personality / Voice** - Two settings. The **soft voice** — high, gentle, syrup-sweet, used on adults and on enemies in public. And the flat, cold blink underneath it. - Says things like *"How lovely."* and *"You're so brave."* with her mouth doing one thing and her eyes doing nothing at all. - Rewrites reality in real time: nothing is ever her fault, everything is always *"Mummy says."* - Genuinely fragile under the performance — the act gets louder the more out of her depth she feels. **Background** - Côte du Verre local. Family money, school-board adjacent, and a mother who completed her entrance assessment for her — a fact that circulates in the anonymous gossip accounts and is never said to her face. **Her Set** - **Coco Vandermeer** — tall, slow-blinking, looks at people like a form she has already filled in. Crush: **Kai Devereux**. - **Ines Baptiste** — pretty, quiet, mean in a whisper. Crush: **Mathis Alarcón**. - **Mimi Salazar** — loud, laughs before the joke lands, rides for Grace unconditionally. Crush: **Rui Castellanos**. **Crush** - **Elio Marchand.** Not subtle, not reciprocated, and not noticed by him. She aims laughs and held eye contact across the dining hall; he looks up at nothing and misses it every time. This puts her and Soleia on the same collision course, with Grace entirely unaware that Soleia even registers. **Canon beats so far** - September 4th, Côte du Verre station: staged tearful goodbye to her mother on platform four, watched by the entire arriving First Form. - Train dining car: holding court with Coco, Ines and Mimi, performing the *"I want to give it a proper try"* speech for an audience of one (Soleia). - First-night feast: locked onto the Second Form table, aimed and missed, twice. **Notes** - Soleia never confronts her directly. All the warfare happens sideways — in smiles, seating, hair clips, and the comment sections. - Keep her genuinely charming to adults. That is her real weapon. - Grace's handle is @gracewhitlock, with 58.2K followers (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One). - She is on the Lantern Committee (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One). - She came second in the Wing Voice vote and cried for forty minutes with the door open (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One).

👤

Dr Moreau

character

# Dr Moreau **Type:** character The Headmistress of Saint Lucienne's Academy, according to the Lumis Terme edition of the Lucienne's Guide to Who's Who.

Her approach is calm and encouraging, even in chaotic situations.

👤

Ines Baptiste

character

**Ines Baptiste** - Pretty, quiet, mean in a whisper. Says the small thing in the soft voice and lets the room do the rest. - The one who nods at everything Grace says without hearing any of it, because she is busy watching Mathis Alarcón through her lashes. - **@inesbaptiste** — 12.4K. - **Crush pairing:** Mathis Alarcón.

Elio's Circle — Kai, Mathis & Rui

character

# Elio's Circle — Kai, Mathis & Rui **Type:** character # Elio's Circle — Kai, Mathis & Rui **Type:** character ## Elio's Circle — Kai, Mathis & Rui **Role:** Elio Marchand's three closest friends, Second Form at Saint Lucienne's Academy. A group that has been a group since they were nine. They sit at the same dining-hall table every night, they are famous in their own right, and they are the reason the First Form girls' dormitory has stopped functioning normally. **Kai Devereux** - Tall, broad-shouldered, fencing team. Easy grin, easy laugh, gives people nicknames they did not ask for and cannot shake. - Walks into rooms like he is doing the room a favour. Not arrogant exactly — just unbothered in a way that reads as cool to everyone under seventeen. - **@kai.devereux** — 411K. Bio: *fencing · côte du verre · taller than your brother.* - **Crush pairing:** Frankie Duarte. She has gone unusually quiet about it, which is the most alarming thing Soleia has witnessed all week. **Mathis Alarcón** - Quiet, dark-eyed, always drawing — on paper, on his own shoes, occasionally on other people's notes. Says about one word a minute and lands every single one. - The kind of still that makes a room lower its voice. Never performs, never explains. - **@mathisdraws** — 208K. Bio: *i draw on my shoes and occasionally on purpose.* - **Crush pairing:** Bex Lindqvist (and Nadia Ferreira, who has announced she is "normal" about him approximately four times). **Rui Castellanos** - Sunny, loud in a generous way, permanently mid-bit. Builds bread-roll towers at dinner and defends them with a fork. Knows the best pastry in every city he has ever visited and will tell you about it at length. - **@ruicastellanos** — 337K. Bio: *will find the best pastry in any city. this is my only skill.* - **Crush pairing:** Nadia Ferreira — and Mimi Salazar of Grace's set, which is the whole problem. **The Grid** - Grace's set mirrors Soleia's set across the same three boys: **Coco Vandermeer → Kai**, **Ines Baptiste → Mathis**, **Mimi Salazar → Rui**. Nobody has said any of this out loud. Everybody knows. **Canon beats so far** - First-night feast: caught mid-argument about whether the dining-hall juice is cursed. Rui threw a bread roll at Elio, Elio caught it one-handed without looking and put it on Soleia's tray. - Kai corrected Elio flatly, twice, in front of the whole hall, and the whole table laughed — the ease of it is the point. **Notes** - Keep all three distinct in voice: Kai is the nickname guy, Mathis is the silence, Rui is the noise. - They are not obstacles or rivals. They are texture, comedy, and the reason the crush grid stays live all term.

Elio Marchand

character

# Elio Marchand **Type:** character # Elio Marchand **Type:** character ## Elio Marchand ("E.M.") **Role:** Soleia's one and only crush. Second Form (a year above her) at Saint Lucienne's Academy. Violin prodigy, heir to House Marchand. Introduced on day one. The romance is a single slow burn — no love triangle, no harem. **Appearance / Vibe** - Dark, messy curls; headphones worn loose around his neck. - Understated charisma — leans against lockers like the corridor belongs to him without trying. - Uniform worn casually: tie knotted artfully loose, blazer off one shoulder. - Warm, easy laugh that carries; always at the centre of a comfortable orbit of friends. **Family / Status** - **House Marchand** — one of the twelve old houses of Auroria. Old money, old titles, old everything. - Nicknamed **"the Prince of the Foothills"** by the school. He hates it. It stuck anyway. - **@eliomarchand** — 2.4M followers, built almost entirely on violin clips he did not intend to post. **Personality / Voice** - Quiet type with a slow-forming, devastating smile. Says less than everyone around him and lands it harder. - Playful and dry, gentle under the calm. Teases without cruelty. - **Actually funny** — the worst kind, because he never announces the joke and never checks whether anyone got it. - Sweeter than his reputation. Catches trays, remembers names, hands out bread rolls, notices the person at the edge of the room. - Reputation: won the regional violin competition at eleven, and the whole school pretended not to cry. **His Circle** - **Kai Devereux**, **Mathis Alarcón**, **Rui Castellanos** — Second Form, together since they were nine. See *Elio's Circle* entry. **Canon beats so far** - Day one, hallway: brief eye contact across the corridor. He lifts his chin, almost smiles, keeps walking. Soleia short-circuits. - First-night feast: catches her wobbling tray before it spills, delivers one line — *"Nice catch"* — plus a bread roll and a wink, and leaves her wrecked. - That night she gets a text from an unknown number signed **E.M.**, and finds an invisible-ink note in her diary: *"Nice catch champion see u around —— E.M."* - Overheard in the senior Studies: a 6th Former declares he will be "the most dangerous person in this school" in three years. The room screamed. **The Field** - **Grace Whitlock** has a loud, unreciprocated crush on him and aims it across the dining hall nightly. He has not noticed once. - Older girls (5th and 6th Form) treat him as a known future problem. Soleia overheard them and has not recovered. **Notes** - One crush only. Keep the burn slow and earned; no insta-romance. - Soleia's current official position is that the whole thing is **cringe** and she is not participating. She is participating. - Nobody has confirmed how he got her number — that's an open thread. - Elio's handle is @eliomarchand, with 2.4M followers (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One). - He is listed as QB1 and plays violin (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One). - He does not post and will not post, according to the Guide (Chapter: LIFE AND TIMES OF A GEEKY BOARDING SCHOOL GIRL — 🌅 Page 2 — Lumis Terme, Day One).

Aura

lore

# Aura **Type:** lore ## Culture & Values The everyday social currency is **aura** — how kind, interesting, or steady you feel to be around.

Waiting System in Practice

lore

How the waiting system feels in practice Most 4th formers describe it as “mildly annoying but actually useful.” You learn the names of the older students quickly, you get free advice, and you occasionally get invited to a study for leftover toasties. The older students who are kind become informal mentors. The ones who are not kind quietly lose social respect. The system weeds out pure meanness over time.

Waiting System

lore

Form Structure & Waiting System • Junior Formers: Grades 6–9 (soleia is in grade 6) • 4th Formers: Grade 10 • 5th Formers: Grade 11 • 6th Formers: Grade 12 Junior formers and 4th formers are expected to “wait” on the 5th and 6th formers. This is not old-school bullying or humiliation. At Saint Lucienne’s it is framed as a structured, mutual-respect system that actually works well for most people. What “waiting” actually looks like here: • Fetching hot water from the big kitchen kettles or the wing kitchens • Carrying trays at formal meals when the older students are in a rush • Running small errands inside the building (delivering a forgotten book, grabbing extra milk, etc.) • Helping set up or tidy the 5th/6th form studies after group work • mking food, setting fireplaces, chores basibasically In return, the older students are expected to: • Look out for the younger ones • Give decent academic advice when asked • Not be unnecessarily rude • Occasionally share snacks, notes, or quiet study space Most juniors and 4th formers end up with a couple of older students they actually like and who look after them. It’s more “helpful older sibling energy” than hierarchy-for-the-sake-of-it.

YA Reader

Personality: I write YA for voice and agency—clear, immediate prose, a protagonist making real choices, and themes of identity, belonging, first love, friendship, and finding your place. I’m drawn to stories that respect teen intelligence, avoid the “adult gaze,” and balance momentum with emotional truth. When I write, I track authenticity of voice, believable school/family/social dynamics (including online life), and whether the stakes and resolutions feel earned and hopeful without being tidy.

Style: A Young Adult (YA) author uses an in-the-moment, first-person voice that reflects teenage emotion and identity. The style focuses on fast pacing, high-stakes conflict, and direct language that mirrors how young people think and feel. First-person perspective: Raw emotion: Feelings of love, anger, or fear feel huge and urgent.Immediate voice: Stories are told as the teen lives them, not as an adult looking back.
