Blossom Averye

Best friend of Willow Averille (page 107) and co- founding member of the famed Coalition for Magical Cooperation (CMC), a loose partnership of high level Magic-Users and Clerics intent on doing good. But it seems that the mandate may have to grow beyond what it originally was. Her sources say that four invaders—The Tetrad—have been linked to many disappearances and deaths. The CMC may not have the strength or the numbers to fight them. It would not be the first time that Blossom had to meet a challenge. It’s been a necessity since her youth. Blossom is an only child and regards Willow as the sister she never had. For a while, she felt like she could only watch helplessly as Willow hurtled into despair. It looked like rage and megalomania to a lot of people, but Blossom knew where it had come from and what it meant. Remaining as the only listening ear while so many abandoned Willow was the most difficult thing she’d ever done. At times it felt like Willow screamed just to force people out of her life. She felt so empty and worthless, anger became part of fulfilling a destiny that was inevitable. She deserved no one, everyone would leave her eventually anyway— why not just get it over with quicker? But Blossom wouldn’t leave. She didn’t know then whether Willow felt the sense of sisterhood that she did. Probably not. Willow didn’t understand family. But allowing Willow to disappear into herself was something Blossom wouldn’t allow. So, she weathered the torrent, waited for the clearing, and pulled her friend back to shore. It wasn’t quick; the current against them was strong. But in the end they not only saved a friendship, but became like family, and later formed “the famed Coalition for Magical Cooperation.” ‘Til death do them part.
