 A little of this, a little of that... Sparcity Nostrum has picked up her craft in a rather haphazard way. In fact, she bears a certain resemblance to Squeeze, the little squirrel she adopted as her familiar. She lives in a ramshackle hut in the middle of Whittleclump Woods, an area whose resident Gaian is a close friend of hers. Far from leading a solitary existence, Sparcity sells food at her local farmers'​ market and is heavily involved with her local branch of Boggies. A little of this, a little of that...

 Sparcity Nostrum had a difficult childhood. One rainy day, she spent her lunch hour rescuing worms stranded on the tarmac of the school playground; from that day on, she was known as Worm Girl. After being ostracised for years, she gradually rebuilt her social skills from the bottom up, but gained a general antipathy towards other people. She now lives in a ramshackle hut in the middle of Whittleclump Woods, an area whose resident Gaian is a close friend of hers. Far from leading a solitary existence, Sparcity sells food at her local farmers'​ market and is heavily involved with her local branch of Boggies. She cultivates an air of friendly straightforwardness... but she is anything but straightforward. She is a cunning, manipulative witch whose dream is to see cities smothered by woodland and humans put in their place by the Earth Gaians she sees as her true friends. Sparcity Nostrum had a difficult childhood.

-Hal is something of  a hedonist, and the pursues magic not truly from a broad love of the craft that the Filings promote, but from a desire to be First - the First to sample the aesthetic delights of new magic, like the cook who tastes a new combination of flavours for the first time,  or the archeologist ​who discovers a cache of ancient gold after thousands of years. Hal desperately craves new, sensual pleasures in their life, and magic is the latest in a long line of these. This obsession means that they are both incredibly motivated and prepared to do almost anything for a new thrill. ​+Hal is something of  a hedonist, and the pursues magic not truly from a broad love of the craft that the Filings promote, but from a desire to be First - the First to sample the aesthetic delights of new magic, like the cook who tastes a new combination of flavours for the first time,  or the archaeologist ​who discovers a cache of ancient gold after thousands of years.
