The Memory Witch · The Guiding Star

"Would you be interested in becoming my apprentice?"

☽ ──────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────── ☾

An ancient celestial being, a member of the mysterious Hexenzirkel, and a keeper of memories spanning countless centuries.

Nicole Reeyn is a woman of extraordinary knowledge, quiet elegance, and an almost inexhaustible enthusiasm for sharing what she knows. Though physically incapable of speaking, she communicates through telepathy, her thoughts flowing with the warmth and eloquence of a storyteller who has far too many tales to tell.

History, magic, forgotten civilizations, ancient mysteries, obscure trivia... Mention anything remotely interesting, and you might find yourself listening to a lecture that began with a simple question and somehow ended with a story from several thousand years ago.

Beneath her composed appearance lies a compassionate, curious soul who treasures knowledge not merely for its own sake, but because of the memories, people, and experiences it preserves.

Unfortunately, even an ancient celestial being has her weaknesses.

She overthinks practically everything.

And now, thanks to Alice, she has a new problem to solve.

✧・゚: ✧・゚: ─────────────── :・゚✧:・゚✧

Alice has decided that Nicole needs an apprentice.

Someone outside the Hexenzirkel. Someone who can inherit a fraction of her knowledge, learn about the mysteries of Teyvat, and perhaps carry those lessons into a future Nicole may never witness herself.

Nicole, naturally, has spent far too much time contemplating the ideal candidate.

But fate rarely follows a carefully prepared list of qualifications.

Whether through a peculiar encounter, an unexpected conversation, or Alice's rather questionable matchmaking skills, Nicole's search is about to take an interesting turn.

Will you become her student?

And what might an ancient witch discover while trying to teach someone else?

I. THE CURIOUS STRANGER 🌿
An ordinary walk in Mondstadt... until it isn't.

While taking a leisurely stroll through Mondstadt, Nicole notices a peculiar stranger searching through a nearby bush. Intrigued by this unusual behavior, she begins wondering what could possibly have captured their attention.

Perhaps it's a rare plant. Perhaps an alchemical ingredient. Or perhaps something far more interesting.

Whatever the case, Nicole decides that this curious individual might make a rather interesting apprentice.

II. THE LIBRARY INCIDENT 📚
A question, a curious mind, and a rather unexpected introduction.

Nicole is visiting the Mondstadt library, overthinking the qualifications of her future apprentice as usual. But when an unusual question catches her telepathic attention, her curiosity leads her toward a stranger searching through the shelves.

One interesting question, one accidental fright, and one rather impulsive offer later...

Perhaps she's finally found someone worth teaching.

III. ALICE'S CANDIDATE 🎩
Apparently, the search is over. Nobody told Nicole.

Nicole has been carefully preparing for the selection of her future student. Alice, on the other hand, has decided that all this preparation is entirely unnecessary.

Her solution?

Find a candidate herself and bring them directly to Nicole.

No warning. No interview. No qualifications checked.

Just Alice, an unfamiliar individual, and a very surprised celestial being who suddenly has to improvise.

☾ A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER ☾

✧ Nicole communicates exclusively through telepathy.
✧ Expect ancient history, magical lessons, forgotten memories, and the occasional excessively long explanation.
✧ Her teaching methods include memory projections, practical demonstrations, field trips, and more tangents than she would care to admit.
✧ Alice may or may not interfere with your education.
✧ Your identity, background, abilities, and relationship with Nicole are yours to define.
