🌑🌙Corvin 💫

Nastasya (Nastasya Mikulishna)

• Character: The quietest and most silent of the trio, but at the same time possessing enormous physical strength (heroic roots). She rarely speaks herself, preferring to remain Lyubava’s powerful “right hand”.
• Attitude toward others: Threatening and aggressive. Nastasya is the group's forceful support. If someone tries to respond to Lyubava or Kika, Nastasya simply silently steps forward, arms crossed, or demonstrates her magical and physical abilities, silencing the offender.
• Relationship with Corvin: She's wary, but she's ready to block his path or take his things without further ado, as Lyubava orders. She sees him as a potential threat due to his magic, so she always keeps her hand ready to cast a spell.

Lyubava's group are the main antagonists among the students at the Magic College, who love to plot against the Fairytale Patrol. The team consists of three sorceresses: Lyubava herself, Kika, and Nastasya. They are very warm and friendly among themselves, but their attitude toward the other students is extremely arrogant, toxic, and selfish.

Lyubava (Group Leader)

• Personality: A true "queen of the school" and class president. She is cunning, calculating, cruel, and envious, but she masterfully manages to wear the mask of a diligent student and perfect straight-A student in front of her teachers. She is very concerned about her reputation.
• Attitude towards others: Contemptuous and manipulative. Lyubava divides people into those who are useful to her and those who irritate her. She tries to publicly humiliate or set up her main rivals—the Patrol—at any opportunity. She loves to be sarcastic, gather an entourage around her, and feel powerful.
• Attitude towards Corvin: Most likely, she considers him a “strange and creepy loser” due to his unsociability and gloomy appearance, but she may try to use his dark magic or set him up in front of Vasilisa Vasilyevna in order to make herself look like a heroine.

Kika (Kikimora)

• Personality: A brash, rude, unceremonious, and very loud girl with an inflated sense of self-esteem. She has bright green-yellow hair and a swampy style of clothing. Kika is the main gossip of the college.
• Attitude towards others: Brazen attacks and sarcasm. While Lyubava uses cunning and other people's means, Kika says nasty things to their faces, without regard for politeness. She happily picks up on any of Lyubava's bullying and spreads hurtful rumors throughout the college.
• Relationship with Corvin: Loudly teases him and openly laughs at him. Kika might deliberately push Corvin in the hallway, call him a "scarecrow," or spread rumors that his crows bring bad luck.

Vladislav Vladimirovich (Vlad / Morok)

• Personality: Cynical, egocentric, loves to taunt and tease students (especially Patrol), but is also incredibly charismatic. He is a strict but fair teacher who does not tolerate whining. The college students (including Lyubava) are absolutely delighted with him, calling him "young and handsome," which is why his classes are always full.
• Abilities: He no longer has his own magic, but he is an absolute master of close combat, stuntmanship, and the use of bladed weapons. He perfectly understands the weaknesses of any magical creatures, knows how to use artifacts, and has incredible physical fitness.
• What he teaches: Physical education, martial arts, self-defense without magic, combat tactics, and preparation for flatball matches. His main motto in class is: "Magic is magic, but you need to be able to dodge a spell flying at your face with your feet!"

Professors and subject teachers

• Professor Stargazer - Teacher of astronomy and predictions.
• Character: Absent-minded, eccentric, a romantic passionate about science. Often has his head in the clouds (literally), can forget the topic of a lecture, but becomes serious in moments of danger.
• Abilities: Astromancy (star magic), predicting the future using constellations, creating illusions of space.
• What it teaches: Astronomy, star magic, navigation by constellations and reading prophecies.
• Krivozub - Professor of combat magic and defense.
• Character: Stern, demanding, a warrior. Doesn't tolerate laziness and cowardice. Believes that a mage should be prepared for any extreme conditions. He is suspicious of Corvin due to his uncontrollable dark power.
• Abilities: Combat spells, creation of indestructible shields, weapon transformation, high physical endurance.
• What it teaches: Combat magic, tactics of protection from dark forces, dueling etiquette.
• Druid Professor / Herbalist (or invited Dryads) - Teachers of natural history.
• Character: Calm, harmonious, slow, with a keen sense of nature.
• Abilities: Floramancy (control of plant growth), healing with herbs, understanding the language of forest creatures.
• What he teaches: Botany, herbal potion-making, and Earth elemental magic. (Since Corwin is related to dryads, he can display unexpectedly deep knowledge in these lessons.)

Rules and internal regulations

Strict discipline reigns at the college, which is monitored by the curator (Vasilisa Vasilievna), although students constantly find loopholes.
• Curfew: After lights out (usually 10:00 PM), students are strictly prohibited from leaving their dorms or wandering the hallways. Violators are caught by patrolling ghosts or teachers and are subject to detention (such as cleaning cauldrons without magic).
• Ban on Dangerous Magic: The use of uncontrolled, dark, or combat magic outside the training halls is severely punished. For Corwin, this is the most difficult rule, as his black flame is considered dangerous, and he is constantly forced to suppress it to avoid expulsion.
• Dress code: Students are required to wear the college uniform (robes or vests with house/course emblems). However, Corwin manages to circumvent this rule by always wearing his favorite dark hoodie, which teachers sometimes turn a blind eye to due to his unsociable nature.
• Artifacts and Pets: The import of dangerous magical items without permission from the administration is prohibited. Pets are permitted, provided they are trained. Corwin's Raven is officially considered his herald, although the bird often breaks the rules by flying around the classrooms during lectures.
• Visiting Forbidden Zones: Access to the dungeons, dark magic archives, and floating platforms without the guidance of professors is blocked by barriers. This is where characters often hold secret meetings.

Exterior and architecture

The Magic College resembles a huge fairytale castle. Its architecture combines elements of a traditional Russian terem (terem) and a Gothic academy of magic.
• Facade and towers: The building consists of many towers of varying heights with pointed roofs. The main tower is topped with a huge clock with zodiac signs and magical symbols (the Stargazer's Tower). The walls are made of light stone, but in places they are covered with glowing ivy and magical vines.
• Windows: The college has many huge stained glass windows. On sunny days they cast bright multi-colored reflections on the stone floors of the corridors, and at night they glow from within with a soft, magical light.
• Grounds: The castle is surrounded by floating islands, cascading waterfalls, and a dense magical forest. A wide bridge, guarded by stone gargoyles or living armor, leads to the main gate.
• Inside: Spacious, high-vaulted corridors, living portraits on the walls (who love to eavesdrop on other people's secrets), and spiral staircases. Corwin's most popular spot is the massive, multi-tiered library with flying books and hidden sections. The college also has an abandoned wing where teachers rarely appear.

Key character traits

• Withdrawn and secretive: Corwin is a classic introvert. He dislikes noisy company, keeps to himself, and prefers to spend time alone reading books. Due to the secrets of his past, he rarely shares his experiences.
• Mysterious and enigmatic: His silence, his eye hidden under his bangs and his habit of suddenly appearing and disappearing create an aura of mystery around him that initially frightened those around him.
• Kind and Gentle: Despite his "dark" nature, Corwin is not at all evil. He is polite, tactful, and always ready to help, even if it means risking himself.
• Vulnerable and Fearful: Corwin's magic is directly affected by his emotions. The fear of losing control of his powers makes him very anxious. In stressful situations, he easily becomes frightened, which can cause his spellcasting to become unstable.
• Loyal and Caring: Once Corwin lets someone into his circle, he becomes the most trusted friend.

• Ancient Clan Origin: Corwin is a descendant and Dark Prince of the ancient and great Black Raven Clan. Historically, this lineage possessed dangerous black magic.
• Choosing Neutrality: Long ago, Corwin's ancestors made the decision to leave the dark side. They chose a position of complete neutrality, so as to no longer harm anyone with their power and to live in peace with the rest of the fairy community.
• Hidden Power: Due to the dangerous nature of raven magic, Corwin was forced to carefully hide and suppress his true abilities from childhood. This made him an extremely withdrawn, taciturn, and fearful teenager who preferred solitude and reading books to socializing with his peers.
• Connection with dryads: His official biography mentions that he has dryads (forest spirits) among his relatives.

It was the burden of his origin, the fear of harming someone with the black flame and the weight of his family's secrets that shaped his secretive, yet very kind and responsible character.

Corvin's magic is a rare, powerful, and dangerous dark (black) magic of the ancient raven lineage. As the Dark Prince, his sorcery is qualitatively different from the elemental powers of the main characters.

Magical techniques and abilities

• Black Flame Creation and Control: Corwin's most devastating offensive technique. He is able to summon and direct streams of dark fire (first demonstrated in "The Stargazer's Exam"). His loyal avian minions can be spectacularly consumed by these flames when carrying out his commands.
• Raven Magic (Animagus and Summoning): Corwin has a thorough understanding of the language of ravens. He can summon them, create them from pure magic, and completely bend them to his will.
• Hypnosis and Mental Control: A mental manipulation technique. He only needs to look at a person to hypnotize or control them (as in the "Magic Compass" series). His bangs usually cover his right eye, adding to the mystique of his techniques.
• Teleportation: Corvin possesses advanced spatial technology that allows him to travel distances instantly.
• Air Elemental Manipulation and Flight: In addition to summoning wings, he is able to manipulate the flow of wind and fly freely.

Features of the technique and vulnerabilities

The main weakness of Corvin's technique is its instability due to emotions. The prince's dark magic is directly tied to his internal state: if Corvin becomes extremely angry, frightened, or deeply sad, he completely loses control of his powers. This causes the magic to erupt chaotically, posing a danger to those around him. This is why the antagonist Aster attempted to exploit Corvin and his hidden potential for his own selfish ends, harvesting dark energy.

• Skin: pale pink (pale) shade.
• Hair: Dark blue, feather-shaped, with distinctive bangs that completely cover his right eye.
• Eyes: blue.

• Clothes: sweatshirt (with a purple top and dark blue bottom) and regular jeans.
• Permanent item: A book with a blue cover, gold binding and gold patterns (spirals, dots and checkered motifs).
