Stannard Berwick is a member of Tessia’s team, along with Caria and Darvus, in the war against the Alacryans.

Appearance

Stannard is described as blonde-haired with pale blue eyes. He looks frail and dainty but doesn't like it when people call him short or small. Darvus describes Stannard as “petite” and “someone who can pass off as a 10-years old“.

Personality

Like most soldiers in the war, Stannard yearns to go back home to feel the comfort of a nice bed and food, but he also fears what the battles the war will bring forth. Because of his humble background, Stannard is not comfortable around many other nobles, unlike his teammates. He is seen as a shy, kind-hearted young man, who also feels insecure about his weak physique and deformed mana core and sometimes feels an envy towards Caria, Darvus, and Tessia for their fighting skills. Stannard tends to hold in his emotions over Darvus’ snide remarks, only to explode and retort back when his patience runs out. He feels an infatuation for Tessia.

Background

Stannard comes from a family of humble background, so he does not associate much with nobles unlike the other members of Tessia’s team. He uses to view books and documentaries regarding Virion‘s role in the war between humans and elves, in which Stannard has grown admiration for Virion. Stannard joins Tessia’s team to fight in the war against Alacryans through Gideon’s recommendation to Virion. Gideon guarantees Stannard’s usefulness in the frontlines. When Stnnard joins Tessia’s team, he first thinks Tessia as a spoiled brat princess; however, Stannard soon comes to admire Tessia for her strong dedication to the war.

Abilities & Skills

Stannard is known to have mana deficiency. His mana core cannot store as much mana as other mages. Instead, Stannard uses beast cores to prepare spells for later use. He utilizes a crossbow, he calls “mana launcher,” to launch beast cores containing stored spells at enemies. The stored spells are either classified as low or high damage. Only he can activate the spells in the prepared beast cores. Stannard also has some general knowledge over mana flow anatomy from reading books.

Quotes

• (To himself) “Get yourself together, Stannard. She’s out of your league! Besides, she’s in love with that Arthur guy.”
• (To Darvus)  “Well, at least I don’t need to convince myself and everyone else that someone better than me can only be a monster just to keep his worthless pride intact!”
