Here's my space to write about them a bit and zero in on who they are exactly and how they fit into their worlds! I'll also give them names and more details, which is something I'm really bad at doing!

Something that is unique about this world is the magic. In this world only certain people are
attuned to magic. For what reason some people are attuned and others aren't is a mystery (one
that mages are still trying to solve). Those who are attuned to magic are attuned from birth
lead a life of great risk, as magic in this world is incredibly unstable; unless someone who is
attuned to magic learns how to control and harness magic odds are very good they will
unwittingly cause some sort of magic-related disaster, killing themselves or others in the
process. In fact, most magic-attuned people who do not receive training die at a young age due
to magic-related incidents.
One important feature of this fantasy realm is the Magic Academy where some of the OCs interact
with. The Academy is THE place to go if you want to study magic; in fact, if you don't go
odds are good you'll die thanks to the aforementioned chaos magic. Fortunately, the Academy has
ways of tracking when people become magic-attuned and recruits them into the Academy as a public
service, and the scouting service is very robust. Since the range of ages that people might
become magically attuned is quite wide, a wide range of people from different walks of life
study at the academy.
However, her carefree life changed with the sudden death of her estranged mother. It wasn't long
before she found herself forced to pay off all the debt her mother had left her with. Though
adventuring was profitable, it simply wasn't steady enough work for her to reliably pay all her
mother's debts off, and she was soon forced to pick up a job working as a Professor of Dark Arts at
the Academy.
She hates her job and resents her mother for forcing her to adopt such a sedintary lifestyle.
However, she has been teaching there for so long that she has tenure and a position of
seniority...so there's that at least.
Lottie's approach to magic is...chaotic to say the least. She's a bit of an airhead and tends to
make lots of mistakes in the lab, but despite this still seems to come away unscathed. What she
makes up for in haphazard magic ability, she more than makes up for as a professor - she's as kind,
caring, and altruistic as they come, and most everyone has good things to say about her.
...well, except for Vivienne, who is her roommate. Since Vivienne is a bit of a grumpy stick in the
mud, Lottie is always trying to keep her friend's spirits up.
