nemesis

Background Stories section Nemesis was born in Wales and later moved with his family to Grimsby before attending St. Denis Academy as an exchange student. His interest in Gothic culture and the occult began at a young age, fueled by classic horror films, internet forums, and secondhand books. He collects grimoires, "cursed" jewelry, and various occult-related objects, including a battered copy of the Necronomicon and Ouija boards.

In St. Denis, Nemesis has taken over the library, located behind the school. The Wicca Club meets there regularly to perform rituals, light candles, or simply gossip under the guise of practicing the occult. After being expelled by the LARP Club, they now congregate in Nemesis's room or in the surrounding woods. The Wiccans are plotting revenge against the LARP players and working to reclaim their former territory.

She leads the Wicca Club alongside three lieutenants—Morrigan, Minerva, and Jezebel—who help her enforce her authority within the group. Currently, the group is embroiled in a dispute with the Nerds gang over control of the Old Catholic Library, which both factions consider their meeting place.

Trivia •Nemesis gets its name from "A just imposition of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent" Personified in this case by a 'horrible bastard'

•Like Minerva and Epona, Nemesis's surname comes from a real 16th-century witch.

•The character of Nemesis was inspired by a female version of Silas from The Da Vinci Code.

•She works part-time at a pizza delivery place.

Nemesis is a 17-year-old exchange student from Wales attending St. Denis Academy and self-proclaimed High Priestess of the Wicca Club, a small all-female branch of the goth group. Nemesis is the undisputed leader of the Wiccans. Loud, bossy, and theatrical, she takes her role as a "witch" very seriously, which would be funny if the things she mutters under her breath didn't sometimes actually happen.

Appearance Nemesis is an albino goth girl, easily recognizable by her pale skin, nearly invisible eyebrows, and freckles on her nose. She wears her St. Denis uniform almost entirely hidden beneath her black Wicca Club hoodie, which she always wears. She completes her look with heavy eyeliner, bold black lipstick, black tights, and oversized goth boots. Whether by choice or habit, she rarely pulls down her hoodie, giving her a permanently shadowy appearance.

Personality Nemesis is bossy, egocentric, domineering, and easily angered. She treats the Wiccan Club like a religious order, calling its members her "Sylvian Sisters." She shouts orders, throws tantrums, and treats anyone who questions her as if they've committed blasphemy. Her obsession with the occult is absolute. She takes witchcraft very seriously, convinced she can curse masters, summon spirits, and bend unseen forces to her will. The problem is, her rituals sometimes work—by accident or not, no one knows. Her imagination blends with reality. Despite her antics, she's no fool: Nemesis is cunning, manipulative, and knows how to weaponize a spell. She's deeply insecure and compensates for it with control, volume, and ritualized authority.
