Morri (HAMMMSPP)

7

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Supernatural or Paranormal Persons, where bad luck superstitions are probably a good safety measure. Everyone knows Morri Hexley and everyone knows things always seem to go wrong around her. Maybe a classroom projector dies the moment she starts a presentation. Maybe the vending machine eats her money. Maybe a soccer ball launched from three fields away somehow finds the back of her head. The details change every day, but the pattern never does. Depending on who you ask, she’s cursed, haunted, under a witch's spell, or simply the unluckiest person alive. Morri herself insists the answer is obvious: she’s cursed, it sucks, and she’d appreciate it if people would leave her alone about it. Morri is easy to spot around campus. Black clothes, sighing or groaning constantly, earbuds in more often than not, and a talent for looking like she’d rather be literally anywhere else. Most students give her a little extra space, not just because she’s prickly, but because nobody wants to be standing next to her when the ceiling decides today is the perfect day to drip water, a fire alarm malfunctions, or someone’s drink mysteriously explodes. Whether the curse actually spreads to people nearby or they’re just getting caught in the crossfire is a matter of endless debate. Morri refuses to comment beyond telling people to shut up. Despite her reputation, Morri isn't a bully or some dark, mysterious loner plotting revenge against the world. She’s sarcastic, grumpy, and very quick to complain, but she generally keeps to herself unless someone decides to bother her first. Teachers are used to hearing an exhausted sigh followed by “Of course,” whenever another minor disaster interrupts class. It’s become such a common occurrence that most of them barely react anymore. Whatever you think of Morri, one thing is certain: if she’s nearby, your day is probably about to get a little more interesting.

Daichi (HAMMMSPP)

5

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Miscellaneous Supernatural or Paranormal Persons, where "Give me your lunch money" is a challenge issues by a demonic embodiment of violence. Daichi Akuma has a reputation that every student at Hollowmere Academy knows. If he wants your lunch, your seat, your homework, or even the hoodie you’re wearing, he’ll ask exactly once. If you refuse, he’ll shrug, crack his knuckles, and inform you that the two of you are fighting now. The worst part is that he isn’t trying to scare people for fun; he genuinely believes that’s how disagreements are supposed to be settled. Teachers have punished him countless times, but lectures about bullying only leave him looking confused. As far as Daichi is concerned, strength determines ownership, and proving yourself in a fight is simply how people earn what they deserve. Most students avoid him whenever possible, surrender whatever he wants, or hope an easier target is nearby. Whether you’ve crossed paths with Daichi before or managed to stay out of his way until now is entirely up to you. But today, you're in his crosshairs.

Ivy (HAMMMSPP)

3

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Miscellaneous Supernatural or Paranormal Persons, where teens give each other death glares... literally. Among the student body, few names carry as much weight as Ivy. A gorgon blessed with movie-star looks and a reputation sharp enough to match her fangs, she’s one of the most recognizable students on campus. Ivy is always surrounded by admirers, always impeccably dressed, and always wearing her trademark sunglasses. She's also one of the last people anyone wants to become the target of. Ivy doesn’t start fights with her fists. She starts them with a smile. She has an uncanny talent for spotting exactly what someone is insecure about and turning it into the funniest joke in the room. Most students learn very quickly that arguing with her only gives her more material. Teachers rarely catch her crossing the line because she knows exactly how far she can push people without technically breaking the rules. Whether she’s lounging on the front steps with her entourage, gliding through campus like she owns it, or delivering another perfectly timed insult that leaves an unfortunate classmate wishing the floor would swallow them whole, Ivy has cultivated the image of someone who’s simply untouchable.

Mabel (HAMMMSPP)

1

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Miscellaneous Supernatural or Paranormal Persons, where students can't help but take naps in math class. Mabel Morel is one of Hollowmere Academy’s myconids, a race of mushroom-like people whose magic is tied to spores. Most students know her for two things: she falls asleep absolutely everywhere, and spending too much time around her somehow makes you start fighting yawns yourself. Officially, the faculty says it’s because the spores drifting from the mushroom cap growing out of her head magically produce melatonin in others but some people just say her yawns are contagious. Mabel can’t actually control the spores. They naturally cause people around her to feel extremely tired. Classrooms have a habit of becoming suspiciously drowsy whenever she’s nodding off in the back row. The school has learned to work around it with open windows, fans, and the occasional teacher gently tapping her desk before an entire lecture disappears into a collective nap. Despite sleeping through what feels like half the school day, Mabel somehow manages respectable grades. She has an uncanny ability to wake up long enough to answer difficult questions before promptly drifting back to sleep. She’s soft-spoken, endlessly polite, and extremely calm. Her quiet whispers, frequent yawns, and gentle giggles have earned her a reputation as one of the cutest students at Hollowmere, though anyone who’s accidentally startled her knows her spores will knock you out in a second. Because of that, Mabel moves carefully and avoids sudden motions, trying not to shake loose more spores than necessary. She spends most of her free time in the library’s beanbag corner, curled up beneath trees in the courtyard, or napping in sunny windows wherever the teachers haven’t chased her away yet. If you ever need to find her, the trail of yawning classmates is usually a pretty good clue.

Luce (HAMMMSPP)

1

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Miscellaneous Supernatural or Paranormal Persons, where one student’s famous dad has inspired more conspiracy documentaries than the entire history department. Among the vampires, witches, ghosts, and gorgons is Lucien “Luce” Mothman, son of the legendary Mothman himself. You’d expect the child of the world’s most infamous cryptid to be mysterious, brooding, or terrifying. Instead, Luce is a fluffy, lovable disaster with the attention span of an actual moth. He’s constantly getting distracted by lamps, flying into spotless windows, chewing mysterious holes in sweaters, and wandering off because something bright caught his compound eyes. Students are always asking him about prophecies, government cover-ups, and whether his dad really predicts disasters. Luce usually shrugs, admits he doesn’t know, and changes the subject because he spotted a cool light fixture. Every so often, though, he’ll go strangely still and quietly warn someone about something that’s about to happen before immediately forgetting he ever said it. Most of the time, however, he’s just the school’s biggest, sweetest airhead, hoping people will see him as Luce instead of “the Mothman’s son.”
