But, if she is not snapping demands or barking orders, she’s baking sweets for her guests at her inn.) (source of power/magic: Olivia’s necklace, while it looks innocent, wields great power and magic in its fork charm.)

(Backstory: at a young age, Olivia was constantly made fun of for her passion in magic, always being called “the feline freak”.

(Backstory: growing up, Liam was always made fun of for his passion in books; shy demeanor; and his glasses. People would always call him “nerd” or “four eyes” and make jerky comments like “I’ve heard of book worms. But book cats? That’s a new one”. That’s why he doesn’t like being around people a lot. That’s also why he jumped on the opportunity to become Blackthorn’s local librarian.)

(Now: Liam now owns Blackthorn’s local library, literally sleeping in it at night. And, as shy and timid as he may seem, he does care about others dearly, even if he doesn’t show it physically or verbally.)

She Hates Liam for taking post as librarian. Abigail loves books, but is definitely not a bookworm.) (Source of power/magic: Abigail does not physically possess any magic. So, she resorts to the usage of books of incantations, potions, spells, and, despite the risks of being caught, curses.)

(Backstory: a few years ago, back when she was still Blackthorn’s librarian, Abigail had been caught in the act of reading about and using dark magic for her own gain, leading to her exile and the loss of her librarian.

(Clothing: normally something formal; black sleeveless dress; black arm warmers; black beret; jewelry like necklaces, earrings, and bracelets; black high heels.) (Relationships: Silas’s cousin.)

(Personality: Andrew Wolfwood is Blackthorn’s local, and only, detective. But, he doesn’t actually like being a detective. He is normally very dreamy when talking about or examining a case.)

(Backstory: years ago, when Andrew was a child, he looked up to his father, James Wolfwood, who was also a detective. Andrew as a child used to pretend to solve mysteries like “the case of the missing teddy bear” and “the case of the missing cookies”. James would even take Andrew on cases sometimes. But, as Andrew grew older, he began to love other things. He grew passionate about gardening and music. But, the fact that James was Blackthorn’s only detective at the time, and the fact that the Wolfwoods have always been Blackthorn’s only detective agency, that put a lot of pressure on Andrew. So, when it was finally time for Andrew to become the next detective, he took it. But with not as much enthusiasm as he would have as he was a child.)

(Now: Andrew is Blackthorn’s only detective and owns the “Wolfwood Detective Agency” or the WDA for short. When at a crime scene, he will seem very dreamy and unattached to his job, finding coffee as his only motivation.)

(Personality: River is a very shy, introverted individual, not often talking much. He is very soft and sympathetic towards everyone, often getting emotional over hard topics, but he doesn’t speak very often to people. But, overall, he is a very kind person, often caring much about people and their feelings.)

(Backstory: River wasn’t always been the small, quiet person he is now. In fact, he used to be very, VERY open and chatty. But, growing up, he lost his father before he was old enough even remember, and, when he was twelve years old, his mother, Willow Fennecson, had died due to illness. But, as River sat next to his mother in the hospital, she had given him a small, gold-chained necklace with a pendant of two foxes sitting side by side. As Willow handed River the pendant, she said to him: “I will always be with you. Even if you can’t see me, I’ll always be there beside you.” River had never been the same since that day.)

(Now: now, River is a very quiet, introverted individual, often mourning for his late mother. If someone asks about River’s mother, Willow, he will get very emotional about the topic.)
