| '''Backstory:''' Ethel is an expert in the school of Conjuration. and excelled at it from a young age. She was a bookish, fiery, socially clueless nerd and a rabidly gung ho member of the Saviors at the beginning, but began to regret and question the damage she inflicted, and the harm that came to her and the other Saviors, afterwards. The loss of Erik, as well as the (mostly positive) press about the havoc the summoner wrought caused Ethel to distance herself from her previous work and use her skills for constructive or artistic projects.

The school originally offered the wizard a job as a Professor of Conjuration, but they were rebuffed. Dr. Schmitz didn't want a job that could teach kids something destructive, or remind everyone of the 'cool' destruction she had caused. Concordia got a new reply back later with a request for a position as an art teacher, however, as Ethel realized it was an opportunity to teach others a subject she enjoyed (something productive and helpful to the students (something that makes up for previous choices)) and replace the image of her past role with something else.

* '''Relationships:'''
 
  
 
Ethel distrusted and picked fights with Althea Swyfte in school due to Dr. Swyfte's parentage (and possibly because of her rapport with Edmonds), constantly looking for signs of betrayal. Ethel desperately wants to wipe the slate clean and befriend Althea to atone and compensate for past actions.

* Ethel badly wants to fix things with people and the rest of the world and gain forgiveness, but she has an old defensive pride that can get in the way. The wizard's social awkwardness and the gruff attitude she has on the surface make this worse, because it makes it difficult to communicate with other people.

* Althea can't give Ethel what she wants because she hasn't forgiven Ethel for the years of sniping, backbiting, and distrust. It's not an easy thing to let go of your opinion of someone who tormented you in your most vulnerable years.

* Edmonds remembers Schmitz as a bit of a drama queen and disliked her attitude towards Althea. His ability to reconnect with anyone, especially Schmitz, is nearly impossible. The more personal he gets with someone the more he sees, and this is the greatest cause of his misery.
