Taera had gotten up just a few minutes before the two 'nannies,' as she called them, had started doing their rounds, as she did every morning. It gave her the time she needed to manipulate the light around her in such a way that she would be hard to spot.

So that the Nannies wouldn't know that she had spent the night in Vin's bed. Really, as she did pretty much every night. She had told Juliana that she got up early every morning to go exercise, to explain why Juliana never saw her when she got the other girls up.

They'd been together for a while, and it really was a mutually beneficial situation. When Taera woke up, terrified and shaking, Vin was there to hold her and make her feel better.

It was sort-of an open secret among the trainees that Vin and Taera spent their nights together, but everyone knew not to tell the administration about it, for a variety of reasons. First, Vin and Taera were both popular and well-liked. Second, Vin was one of the most powerful of the trainees. Third, the first person who had brought it up within earshot of the administration had received a swift kick to the balls from Taera.

Always a pretty girl, Taera had really grown into her looks. She was tall, nearly as tall as Vin, with a thin waist and average-sized breasts and hips. Her legs were long, and she knew how to use them to her advantage both in battle and out.

Her red hair was long and curly, always styled in the perfect way to frame her heart-shaped face and make her look enticing, and her large blue eyes were framed by long, dark lashes.

The moment that Pierre stepped out of the room, Taera would stand up and put her clothes back on, while Vin did his best to keep the boys' eyes off of her. Every one of them, though, had gotten an accidental-or completely intentional-glimpse of her in her smallclothes, despite her best efforts to the contrary.

Her powers were progressing well, and she had learned a lot about them. Even though she had come into the Guild with some light training from her parents, she had never known just how extensive her abilities were.

Together, her and Vin were the ultimate power couple. Literally.

Helaena had mostly kept to herself, although she had been able to fill out and come back from the brink of starvation over the years. She avoided Ylva like the plague, mostly because canines hated her and she wasn't sure if that applied to werewolves.

She was pretty and thin, though her looks were nowhere near as stunning as Taera's. Her blonde hair was thin and straight, and her green eyes were not as stunning as her blue ones. Plus, she was much shorter than the girl.

Helaena was very nice to everyone who tried to speak with her, and she was one of the most intelligent of the kids and could answer every question, except about hero lore: that was Taera's specialty.

Her closest friend was actually Gait, even though she wasn't sure he felt the same, and that made her vaguely friends with Vin, although not enough to get invited by him to any of the parties Taera arranged after dark. She usually got invited by someone else.

Compared to the others, her powers weren't the most useful. Talking to birds was nice and she could draw swarms of them in, but they were small and usually not very powerful. While she could fly faster than anyone else, she couldn't easily carry anyone else.

Really, she enjoyed her time with all of her classmates, and she didn't think that anyone hated her.

She was sort-of a kiss up, sometimes, always trying to make their teachers, Juliana, Pierre, and the Guildmaster like her as much as they liked others.

The poor girl was a bit insecure, feeling so outclassed by all the people around her.

But she would protect them with her life, even if they wouldn't do the same for her.
