Who’s Who: Camille of the Young Coven

When she isn’t studying, she’s hanging out at Gobbledy-Book, a mom-and-pop bookstore/café run by the elven Trismenor Clan in Salem. She may or may not have a small crush on Orym, the owner’s son who works there as a barista. Alicia and Gabriel, her charges, tease her over how flustered she becomes in his presence.

Random Facts:

1. Having grown up together, Gunnar and Camille are best friends. They share many common traits: both are the oldest among their siblings, both are the heirs to their respective covens, and both have witnessed firsthand the pressure the De Ardo Coven has put on their parents to join them. However, Camille has been distancing herself from Gunnar as of late, giving him the wrong idea.

2. Aside from Gunnar and her own coven, Camille is also close with Michele Calixto and Madalynn Blake, and she briefly dated Rafael Solart during her freshman year. The two remain on good terms.

3. The Young Coven specializes in divination methods; tarot, palm, and aura readings, runes, arithmancy, astrology, dowsing, and examining dreams, to name a few. Camille is a practiced tarot reader and can see the auras of those around her. Her mother, Jaclynn Young, is the leading expert on all divination methods used to predict the future. Jaclynn teaches the advanced divination course at Mexiara Institute of the Arcane, or MIA, as well as assists LORE agents as a psychic consultant.

4. When she isn’t studying, she’s hanging out at Gobbledy-Book, a mom-and-pop bookstore/café run by the elven Trismenor Clan in Salem. She may or may not have a small crush on Orym, the owner’s son who works there as a barista. Alicia and Gabriel, her charges, tease her over how flustered she becomes in his presence.

5. She has a deathly fear of heights and refuses to learn how to fly on a broomstick. For this reason she steers clear of the broomride option in Sterity, the occult version of Uber/Lyft.
