Squidney's Comic


Info
Misuna Hawkthorn
Age: 28
bit of a firecracker, abrasive and rough around the edges, but loyal to those that earn it. She's more thoughtful than she seems on the surface, but her goddaughter is probably one of the only reasons she gives anyone some patience. Electro magic and high mana, but lacks a bit of control with said magic sometimesFun facts
- She has a soft spot for all birds
-might not be the first person you call in a crisis, but she most definitely showed up and probably helped the most no questions asked
Neeko Sotiris
Age: 29
He can be rather cold and reserved to most but is an absolute softie towards his goddaughter, and is very warm to his close friends. His magic ability is summarized as a "rewind" where he cant rewind time but rather the state of things around him and sometimes even people. Downside to his cool magic is it requires a lot of mana and his mana is pretty average so he cant do it allFun facts
-He loves to cook
-is a mother of one (of a feathered baby named Rosie)
