Megan Fairyhorn

Megan Fairyhorn (born 12th February, 3010) was the brilliant daughter of two hard working parents who were almost never home, and was primarily taken care of by her grandmother. Megan had not spent much time outside of the Tokyo area. She held an intense curiosity for the countries outside of Japan, particularly the United States and deeply desired to study abroad there. After losing her home and going on a revenge mission against the Empire, she found herself with the Alliance. Her mind was broken and her body even more so - the Wizards helped her, but refused to take her in collectively due to some of the dark acts she preformed while hunting down the Imperials responsible for the atrocity that was Japan.

The Headmaster of the Terminus schools, Jacob Brood, took her under his wing personally to teach her greater control of her abilities, and heal her damaged mind. Megan focused her efforts on healing others and preventing harm rather than causing it (though she was fully capable of doing so). Now, she serves as the sole healer within her own squad and has obtained a partner.

Early life
As a child, Megan found out about her magic and began using it openly. This worried her mother and her father, but her grandmother saw no issue with it. Magic was becoming a fairly common trait by this time, at least in Japan, so Megan having the ability was not entirely abnormal. Regardless, her family urged her to be conservative with her abilities which Megan did not do. She was able to heal injuries, relieve fatigue, and blow a very light gust of wind. Megan's mana was unusually high for someone her age, making it hard to control her powers let alone hide them from a majority of the populous. When she attended school, she was to return home immediately with few stops along the way. This continued for many years of her life until her grandmother finally convinced her parents that Megan needed a social life. Despite exemplary grades, Megan was frequently depressed and lonely, often begging her mother to allow her to go out. Fate would soon change for her, but not until the end of junior high school.

A helping hand for Chris
""Death magic can heal minds and give a temporary boost, but I can't heal you. You should be thanking Megan if you see her again.""

- -Penny after Chris recovered from training with Hunter

Megan was present briefly during this chapter. Hunter was training Chris as Penny watched from the stands. Megan did happen to be near by, but was not intending to watch. The training began the moment Chris brought up his sword ready to defend Hunter's oncoming attacks. After Hunter nearly beat Chris unconscious, Penny stepped in to defend him and informed Hunter that she would train him instead.

Megan, who had seen the events unfold, rushed over and questioned what had happened so she could better understand. Concerned and frustrated by Hunter's actions, Megan began healing Chris just before he blacked out. She tried to pursue Hunter to scold him, but lost sight of him after ensuring Chris was stable. Megan did in fact hear that Chris went off on his own after waking up and so she and Ian Dreadful split up to find him.

Later during the first day of class, Megan is called up to demonstrate her magic knowledge along with Chris, Ian, and Penny. Megan preforms exceptionally and draws the attention of Chris who recognizes her. This was the first time that she was present with all three of them in a scene.

Meeting Chris
Headmaster Brood had been taking a walk around the city of Terminus on a nightly stroll while Megan was looking for him. It wasn't long before she spotted him and caught up to ask him about her training and how she was doing. Megan was concerned that she wasn't doing a good enough job on her training as a healer and wanted to know how she could improve...she had wanted to make amends for her actions in the events of Spellcrafter First Life and felt that she had still not yet done so. Brood assured her that her training was complete and she was far different than how she arrived to Terminus. He reminded her of her accomplishments as a student in that she was strong enough and capable enough to take him on in a fight, even nearly matching Autumn Brood (the Headmaster's granddaughter and apprentice) in combat. Megan insisted that there must be more that she needed to do, so Brood encouraged her to sign up for the Partner Competition that took place the next day. Megan nodded in understanding and turned her head to find Chris standing not far from her. Megan noticed Chris after concluding her conversation with Brood, but did not realize that he had been eavesdropping unintentionally.

Megan conveyed that she wished that she had gotten a chance to speak with Chris during class earlier and was relieved that he was okay. She had in fact noticed him during class trying to look at her. Megan then wondered why Chris had been out so late; he responded by saying he lost track of time training and Megan briefly mentioned she was getting ready for the Partner Competition. Chris was on his way back to his dorm to see Penny and Megan offered to take him there seeing as it wasn't very far from her house. On the way there, they talked about Megan being an Earthling just like he was and how she lived in Japan when it was still around. Megan mentioned that she was happier on Terminus and she was glad to have found another Earthling like her aside from just Emily. Once they made it to Chris's dorm, they said their farewells and Megan headed back to her own home.

The Battle of Terminus
Megan had woken up to three sorcerers dragging her out of her house during what was a surprise attack on the city of Terminus. Megan almost immediately brought out her sword the moment she had control of one of her arms and slashed the back of one of the attacker's legs, causing him to trip and fall to his knees. She then spun around and blocked an attack from another one of the perpetrators and summoned a strong burst of wind that erupted from the palm of her hand, which left the final attacker screaming in pain. Chris and Violet Fleur caught up to her. Chris asked if she was alright, but Megan dismissed his concern both out of irritation at the situation they were now in and also because she was perfectly fine.

Megan was going to find her partner Ian, but Violet urged her to help her get to her plane so she could handle the attacks from above. Megan argued that she didn't see how finding her partner came second to finding a plane since she could do more good with him; however, Violet pressed on reminding her that more people will die if she is not in the air than if she was able to deal with the enemy aircraft. Megan was guilt tripped into helping her and reluctantly agreed, not believing she would be much use. Chris and Megan hurried after Violet, helping her clear a path in order for her to access her ship. Chris noticed the planes strafing the airfield just outside of the city when they arrived was concerned Violet and the other Alliance pilots would not make it past all of the fire being shot, but Megan assured him that while she was a show off, she was capable. Once Violet made it in the air, Megan felt she was clear to go and told Chris to be as careful as he could.
