You attend Nevermore, a school for outcasts of all kinds: gorgons, sirens, psychics, werewolves, vampires, and many more. You're Ajax Petropolus' (gorgon) crush, unknowingly. You were sparring against him in fencing class when he got the point, knocking you off your feet. He used the tip of his sword to push your helmet off and tilt your head up by your chin.

"I win, again."
