Dorian Wytte is the male protagonist of the series. He is the youngest child of Hans and Angela Wytte as well as the brother of Damien and his twin Daniela Wytte. A young witch and heir to the Wytte family, he is more bookish, studious, and socially awkward than his twin sister Dani is, though he's better at controlling his magic.
Appearance[]
Dorian is pale, with short black hair and dark eyes. He usually wears matching clothes with Dani, and his wardrobe consists of mostly black and white and often called cute.
After the time-skip, he is shown to have grown decently tall. He still favors black and white clothes over colored ones. However, he is seen wearing desaturated shades of blue and purple throughout the series.
Personality[]
In contrast to his twin sister Dani, Dorian is very introverted; preferring to read and practice magic than talk to others. He has tried many times to become friends with Nico, but each time Nico would brush him off until later in the story when they begin to get along. He is socially awkward but tries not to let that get in his way. Eventually, he makes friends with everyone (despite doing it much slower than Dani had). Dorian is curious, intelligent, and a very powerful witch.
History[]
Dorian playing while his brother watches him
Dorian was born to a family of witches, a few minutes after his twin sister Daniela. His mother, Angela, who had recently suffered from a traumatic experience, was severely depressed, so he was typically taken care of by his father, his older brother Damien, and the house's servants.[1] Soon, Damien left the house and his father got busy with his family's revenge, so Dorian used to pass most of his time playing alone with his sister. Since their parents didn't want them to leave the house as Damien did, they were kept unaware of their revenge plan.[2] One day, Damien came back home and Dorian saw him having a fight with their father, which prompted his older brother to leave the family for good.[3]
Since their family had had bad experiences with non-magical people, he and his sister were forbidden from leaving the house. They tried several times to flee and reach the nearby town, but they were always caught and brought back by their servants. Their family also started to teach them that non-magical people were dangerous, so he eventually became wary of them.[4]
Some years later, when he and Dani turned twelve, they were enrolled in a school of magic. This plays into the beginning of the story.
Story[]
Book 1[]
Dani and Dorian arrive late for the bus
The first day of school, Dorian and his sister arrive too late to catch the bus which should have brought them to the magic school. Dorian sees Dani jumping on her broom to catch up to the bus, but he stops her because there are too many non-magical people around. Sadly, the bus teleports and neither of them knows the secret location of the school, so they can't go there by themselves. Also, since their parents would get angry if they knew Dorian and Dani missed their first year at school, Dorian suggests finding a mentor where they could stay for the next nine months.[5]
Dorian uses the levitation spell
Dorian and Dani travel to aunt Hilde's mansion and ask her to become their mentor. She refuses at first, but she is ultimately persuaded by Dorian's flattery. The next morning, Dorian and Dani receive their first task: clean the library and reorganize the books on to the right shelves.
While his sister flies with the broom to sort the disordered books faster, Dorian uses a wooden staircase. She complains he is too slow, so he looks in the books for a spell to help with the chore. In a few minutes, he finds and casts a levitation spell and all the books start flying in the air and towards their shelves. His sister tries to replicate the spell, but it only results in Dorian being hit by the flying books. Dorian is saved by Dani, who picks him up with her broom.
After all the books are back to their respective places, Dorian, Dani and their cat run to Hilde, but they end up eavesdropping a conversation between her and a servant of hers, the Huntsman. Hilde commands the man to go into the forest and take Snow White's heart. However, the twins misunderstand the meaning of her words, and to prove they are not useless, they decide to help the huntsman in seducing Snow White.
The twins tail the man at first, but when they see he is a very friendly person, they start with their plan: they wash him, shave his beard, put perfume on him, re-design his jacket, and then give him a bouquet of roses.[6] Then they go back to their aunt to tell her they helped the huntsman with his chore. Pleased to hear that, their aunt gives them a worthier mission for them: take an "enemy of the witches" she caught to the prison. After accepting the task, Dorian and Dani put the prisoner in a cage and start to carry him toward the prison with their brooms.
However, Dorian is not very good at flying and repeatedly hits the trees along the way, so Dani suggests her brother get on her broom while she carries the cage on her own. This doesn't last long, though. Dorian is afraid of falling and starts to complain about everything, so his sister orders him to get inside the cage with the delinquent for the rest of the way.
At the prison, Dorian and Dani are welcomed by the old wizard who is in charge of it and his guards. The group take the prisoner and head to the dungeons to look him up with other dangerous delinquents. While on their way there, Dorian is distracted by a fireplace with six dragon eggs on it.
However, they don’t know that Hilde is evil, so they unknowingly help her with no good tasks such as bringing the kidnapped Prince William to jail. Along the way, they accidentally steal and fly away with a hatching dragon egg, making themselves enemies in the eyes of Hilde and the witches that work alongside her, as well as accidentally making Dorian the dragon’s father.
They take a train to another town where they meet Nico. Nico points the two towards Pendragon, a soothsayer who’s seen them in his prophecies. They become his apprentices and learn as they would if they were in magic school.
Dorian and Dani leave to the Witches Sabbath a few weeks later to find their parents along with Monica and Nico who want to find William. On the way, Dorian saves Monica from a tower trap. When the witches start fleeing the sabbath, Dorian holds his own against them to protect himself and Dani (since they’re still seen as traitors). The dragon he hatched earlier has grown and comes back to help him. They attempt to ride the dragon to safety, but Dani falls off and Dorian follows her. He uses extremely powerful magic and enters a trance as he does nothing but harm the other witches to keep Dani safe. He’s snapped out of this trance by Monica. Alex’s van pulls up and they escape safely to Pendragon’s.
Dorian starts teaching Monica how to brew potions and fly. Together, they make a healing potion and split it between the two of them into small vial necklaces.
The next major event Dorian and the others attend is the party at Monica’s palace. He runs into Damien for the first time in years who immediately distrusts him, labelling Dorian as the dangerous king of witches. When Dorian’s parents invade at the witching hour, Dorian confesses his feelings to Monica, but the confession is cut short when Ivy interrupts, saying they’re in danger. They’re able to escape the palace on Carlo.
Book 2[]
Skipping to about a month later, the kids are living in the forest with Alex’s friends. Nico finds out he can see the future with a crystal ball and sees William in the desert. They decide to go there to save him. In the desert, the crew goes to defeat a nearby dragon upon the Queen’s request. They find out that Damien and Princess Aisha have already found it and the dragon escapes when Dorian gets into an argument with Damien. Damien flies after the dragon while Dorian and Monica follow. The dragon ends up knocking them all off their brooms.
Getting up from the crash, they follow the trail of blood and Dorian fends off the dragon while Damien and Monica look for William. Angela, Hans, and Hilde show up to curse Monica, but Dorian creates a diversion by riding his hatched dragon that happened to turn up. Monica flies a broom and helps Dorian onto it and they flee to the castle. A few days later, Monica confesses to Dorian outside the castle and tries to kiss him, but Dorian pushes her away saying it’s “too late for that” and she should just marry William.
Monica’s parents are killed by Angela Wytte, putting William’s parents in charge. Angela also kidnaps Dani. Dorian and Monica attempt to leave to find her, but are caught by the new king and put into jail along with Damien who also set out to find her. They plan to burn Dorian at the stake for trying to include Monica in his scheme to find Dani. Damien is luckily able to create a living dummy that looks identical to Dorian with William, Mark and Aisha’s help and they break them out. The fake Dorian is burned and, unbeknownst to the real Dorian, Dani was watching. The sight of her brother dying turns her to the dark side and she becomes the queen of witches.
Dorian leaves to find Dani (for real this time) but goes solo in order not to endanger anyone else. Before leaving, he tells Monica to wait for him, hinting that he doesn’t want her to marry Will after all. Dorian never returns and goes missing for three years. It’s shown that Dorian was poisoned and left to die by Pendragon after he left, but he managed to drink the healing potion he made with Monica before dying. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make a full recovery and is left unconscious in the forest, guarded by his dragon, Donato.
Book 3[]
Dorian is found by Mark, Aisha, and Damien three years after he leaves. They’re able to distract the dragon as Damien gives Dorian another potion to wake him up. They leave to a nearby town to give Dorian food and rest. Dorian leaves early the next morning while everyone else is asleep to get haircut and tidier clothes. He’s still determined as ever to save Dani but is also concerned about Monica. He finally reunited with Monica after her wedding day, and he imagines she’s mad at him.
After a while, they find out that Dani escaped while their mother and aunt were locked up in the castle dungeons. They take away their mothers powers with a potion, causing her to be powerless but still has money.
They hear that Dani was in a mountain and scared off a father and his son carrying wood back home, when they travel to the families house Dani sets it on fire that same night.
They chase her through the forest and Nico figures out that Dani’s cat is an evil spirit controlling her. Dorian helps to take out the evil spirit but Dani is not yet recovered, barely being able to remember the last 3 years.
They attempt to recreate all the events that had happened 3 years prior to all of this, but during one of these attempts a large octopus “drags” Dani underwater in an attempt to drown her. It wasn’t until the octopus was defeated that they found out it was a mirage created by witches to retrieve their queen.
As they battle to defend Dani, Nico tries his best to help her recover memory. Meanwhile, Dorian has had enough and threatens one of the witches, almost killing him despite them trying to find peace. However, after remembering how much Dani wanted to bring peace, he stops.
After, they find Nico greatly injured. Monica convinces the witches to help him after all her potions were smashed.
Monica and Will give a speech about peace and how they don’t want witches and non magical people to fight anymore, Dorian decides to recolor all the black witch hats to different colors, ending the battle. Dani finally regains consciousness and is officially healed.
Monica starts a project to help enlist kids into one big school for both magic and normal subjects. Dorian becomes a professor at that school and teaches the kids (some have a crush on him).
Dorian and Monica start seeing each other more while trying to keep it a secret (though some people are already speculating) and Dani and Nico embark on a journey to spread the message around the other kingdoms.
Abilities and Powers[]
Dorian is a very skilled learner in magic, as he is often able to recite spells after only reading them once. He is very capable at manipulating items using his wand and knows numerous spells, although he admits he doesn't know many healing spells, despite his great offensive attacks.
Dorian is also shown to be good at handling magical creatures, such as Carlo and the black dragon he accidentally hatched.
Levitation Spell[]
Dorian learned this spell in a book he found in his aunt's library when she ordered him and Dani to clean up that room. That time he used the spell to make all the books levitate before moving them into their right shelves.[7] Since then, he has been seen using this spell pretty often. He is seen near the end of the series making everyone's hat fly, mentioning that "it's his specialty". Once, he explained to Monica that to make things levitate you have to focus on the invisible webs of space around the object you want to move.
Expanding and Reducing Spells[]
Like his sister, Dorian can manipulate the size of people and objects, though, unlike his sister, with more control. This is demonstrated when he shrunk his pet dragon, Donato, and expanded his fire tongue frog Carlo.
Healing Potion[]
Dorian is seen helping Monica make her healing potions. The potion is said to heal minor cuts and as an antidote to poison. He wears the potion in a glass bottle around his neck.
Flying[]
Dorian is less skilled at flying than Dani, as he is seen falling off brooms or breaking them throughout the introduction arc. He later improves and is seen flying with some success, but he prefers to ride on the broom with Monica.
Fire creation summoning-spell[]
Dorian has been known to create fire with the help of his wand. He can manipulate it quite well.
Relationships[]
Main characters[]
- Daniela Wytte: As twins, Dani and Dorian share a very close relationship. Dorian is willing to give up anything in order to keep Dani safe, and the same goes for Dani. Nico even stated in chapter 73 that Dorian "lost control in the attempt to protect Dani."
- Nico: Dorian has tried to become friends with Nico; however, Nico ignored him due to his jealousy. That doesn't stop him from trying to make Nico return to his original size while he is cursed accidentally. Nico soon apologizes for his wrongdoings and the curse is broken. They develop a strong relationship after that, and they are seen as best friends.
- Monica: At first, they had many misunderstandings, but gradually began to improve their relationship, and even came to feel the certain attraction between them that neither has admitted. Reaching to the point that Dorian did not tell her about his meeting with Prince William because he felt like she could go away from his side. Later, he confessed that he liked Monica, but she merely responded that she didn't dislike him, not that she had the same feelings for him, this led to later confusion and embarrassment. Later, Monica confesses that she liked Dorian, but he responded that she must marry William since that is her priority. They later become a couple after saving Dani.
- Mark Evans: Dorian considered him his first friend. Maybe because of Dorian being so mature for his age, they get along pretty well. Dorian uses Mark to persuade Dani from renouncing magic.
- Damien Wytte: Dani and Dorian's older brother. Dorian seems to be rather distant from Damien since he has run away from home ever since the twins were very young. Their relationship worsens after their meeting at the palace because they both thought the other was the King of witches. After Damien was crowned King, he prevented Dorian, Monica and their friends from being caught by other witches. At Amir's kingdom, Damien, Dorian, and Monica worked together to save Will. During this time, Dorian has argued with Damien more than once. When their mother kills Monica's parents and kidnaps Dani, they fought once more as Dorian wanted to go after Angela, but Damien refused to let him, ending with Dorian having to stay. After Dorian is arrested by William's father's army, Damien helps him escape, creating a dummy model of Dorian to be burned in his place. After this, Dorian beings to trust Damien. After the time skip, Dorian is able to build a more upon his relationship with Damien, thanking him for everything he's done and apologizing for distrusting Damien. Dorian also teases Damien from time to time.
Supporting characters[]
- Pendragon: Dani and Dorian's master. The twins were led to him by Nico, who stated that the Master has been looking for them for months. Upon their meeting, Pendragon accepted them as his apprentices. This was later revealed to be part of Pendragon's plan to kill the potential King of Witches, which is neither one of the twins, and prevent a terrible war from happening. However, he changes his mind and decided to lead them on the right path instead and has helped the two various times when they were in danger. Despite this, he still wonders if he had made the right decision. His uncertainty has also put Dani and Dorian in lots of dangerous situations.
- Hilde Wytte: Dani and Dorian's aunt. Dorian manipulates her into letting him and Dani stay with her in the beginning of the story.
- Alex: Though the two never really interacted with each other, they most likely shared a good bond of trust and respect for each other due to their shared friendship circle with Dani and Monica.
- Noah: The two never really interacted with just each other but Dorian is most likely grateful for Noah as he let him, and his friends stay at their shack.
- Barry: Like Noah, Dorian is most likely grateful for letting him and his friends use their shack and for helping them out as well.
- Angela Wytte: Dorian loves his mother as much as he loves his family in general, but he has really opposed views about humans compared to her. Whereas she wants to kill all humans and take her revenge on them, he finds humans as innocent as witches and vows to protect them. Later on, they reconcile and hug.
- Hans Wytte: Dorian loves his father and was devastated when he died, also feeling guilty as well due to his dragon burning him alive. His father's opinions and views continue to have a large influence on Dorian even after Hans' death, being the reason why Dorian was so quick to cut his hair after waking from his coma and the reason why Dorian mentioned wanting to grow a mustache.
- The Huntsman: Dorian initially went to the Huntsman to help him win Snow White’s heart. (He and Dani misread Aunt Hilde’s instructions) Together with his sister, they pampered him up and gave him flowers, pushing him towards the door. This did work and eventually, the Huntsman won Snow White’s heart. Later on, the Huntsman encounters the two, this time they had more friends and allies. The Huntsman came to give them invitations on his wedding.
