who they are;;
Darcy is a witch (not a wizard. Wizards aren't even real, he'll complain loudly.). He specializes in healing and utilizing energy towards beneficial ends, including growing green things and repairing wild animals. Magical ability is something that has the tendency to skip multiple generations, so Darcy came as a surprise to his parents when he began leeching them of their energy to make the flowers outside grow. He was turned over to his great-grandmother, an ancient woman with gnarled hands, who still had a coven and remembered the magic her own mother had possessed. She gave him up to the coven when she passed and thus Darcy was raised among numerous other witches, considering the entirety of the coven his family.
His abilities are not limited to what he prefers to do, but Darcy is very particular about what sort of magic he engages is. His type of magic is engineered only by the usage of life energy, as the majority of magic is; thus he has to sacrifice something to create something, and as all 'good' witches do, he chooses to sacrifice his own energy. Due to this Darcy has an exaggerated metabolism and a tendency to sleep for long hours to recover from any spells he's done during the day. There are some witches he has heard only stories of, gossip to tell under the cover of the night; 'bad' witches who steal the energy of others, who kill strangers to further their own causes. Darcy finds this sort of magic repulsive, and only when he is desperate has he ever stolen energy from even the surrounding woods.
Like all witches, Darcy has a familiar. He was paired with Medea when he was seven and coming into his powers, as is typical for their kind. They find an animal they can bond with and form a relationship that nothing can ever compare to. In a sense they share his life-force; Medea will live exactly as long as Darcy does, and not a moment longer. She's a plain white-chested nuthatch but Darcy wouldn't trade her for even the more exotic familiars of his peers. She is never far from him and prefers to sit on his shoulder or disappear among the tangle of his hair rather than take a more stable perch. Although Medea makes no understandable noises to humans Darcy finds her perfectly decipherable, and often holds conversations with her that sound oddly one-sided. They share a sort of intelligence as well, although Medea's personality is very much different from Darcy's.

Darcy is always wrapped up in his own head. He doesn't mean to be dismissive or rude; but Darcy loves to learn, and he'd rather learn more than partake in a boring conversation. As such he tends to speak with Medea much more than he talks with his roommates, oftentimes when they're in the room and attempting to talk about something else. Given that to everyone else Medea sounds singularly like a normal bird, these one-sided conversations are somewhat irritating. He's working on a theory involving utilizing the lifeforce of supernatural creatures for longer lasting and bigger magic, and he's thrown all of himself into developing the idea. He's very ambitious in this manner alone; when it comes to riches or nice clothes or anything similar Darcy shows no interest at all. He loves the idea of sticking his name on his theory and changing the way magic is used, however, because improving magic has always appealed to him. He shies from the darker side of magic, from the idea of taking a lifeforce until there is nothing left and thus only performs little feats where he can manipulate his own energy. Due to this Darcy is almost always eating or drinking something with high calories and sugar.
Once he sets his mind to something he always sees it through, so in this capacity he's incredibly headstrong. While some of the others he works with dislike showing their abilities (looking at you, Cuan) Darcy almost inevitably wins out because he is simply so determined to see it through. Medea accompanies him everywhere and frequently sleeps tucked up behind his hair or nestled down into his collar. She does not tolerate other people touching her and is liable to bite, despite Darcy's constant good-natured attitude. The downside to this is Darcy is rather physically affectionate, and Medea is always waiting somewhere in the wings to strike at anybody who puts their arm over his shoulders or tries to ruffle his hair. While Medea does not interrupt if Darcy touches someone she is certainly annoyed if someone touches him in return. He is completely unable to holding grudges and very rarely gets mad; rather he just removes himself from an upsetting situation, or doesn't get upset at all. He's very dreamy and sometimes it's difficult to make him pay attention to something important.
