===Advanced Spirituality===

Maple's drawings have moved ever since she was little, scribbling with crayons on the kitchen table while her parents made dinner. The first person to be on the receiving end of one of Maple's fledgling Icon contacts was her father, Flannery, who took it surprisingly well. His mother, who passed away when Maple was quite young, had possessed a knack for prophecy and claimed to be able to see things in mirrors. With a bit of experimentation, Flannery taught Maple to draw without accidentally turning her artwork into potential magical artifacts.

Maple kept quiet about her odd talent, even after 2004 when such things became more widely believed in. Freshman year she wasn't initially enrolled in Advanced Spirituality despite Rev. Foley's encouragement, but after hearing an odd comment from an upperclassman she went snooping and found out what the class was really about. She approached Foley during her office hours and demonstrated her "weird art thing" and transferred in partway into the semester.
