[Sayaka is a girl of many secrets, even among the many nobles of the Empire. She's everything she should be; a kind, proper noblewoman who never tries to act above her place, who strives to be erudite and polite in all things, and tries to be a model student in the academy. As a noble woman of such a minor house, she has many duties to attend to. Getting excellent marks, for one. Marrying upward to appease her father, for another. And...
Well, maybe she can find something for herself here, too. This academy has certainly proven to be a good place to foster one's talents, and as a girl who had to sink or swim to adapt to Fodlan's norms, she certainly wouldn't mind finding something she could call her own. Her own happiness, even in a life that's been forcibly thrust upon her.
It'd be nice, wouldn't it?
At any rate, though, Sayaka's definitely gotten used to the academy and keeps in regular contact with her father even now. It was one of the requirements to coming here; she has to keep him updated. She can't have too much air in that head of hers, and she knows that she has to appease her new father well. She's his chance to become something better than a meager family, being the only successor--and one without a crest, at that. But such things are easy enough to pass off with a passable offspring who has a lovely rarity of a crest of her own. To hopefully pay off an unspecified 'debt' or something at some point? Sayaka can't say she understands what in the blazes her father is talking about, but it's paramount to keep calm, smile, and be polite. You never know who you could piss off, after all, and she wants to (has to) make her father proud.
Sayaka has found plenty of candidates she's sure her father would be pleased with, even if she can tell that they aren't exactly good men in one manner or another. It won't do her to be picky about personality, but...well, whatever gets her father up the nobility ladder, right? That's what matters most.
At any rate, though, Sayaka has certainly gotten quite the leg up on magic, and it's due to that that she finds herself in the library today. Looking through the vast knowledge at the academy's disposal is an incredible way to pass the time, even if her own offensive brand of magic is...well, not exactly common. Or at the very least is a cautionary tale, but Sayaka doesn't mind; Dark Magic is an interesting case to her, and she wants to learn more about it.]
Let's see...the magic tomes should be somewhere right around...here?
[Sayaka turns a corner in the library to hopefully find something to sate her need to learn. Surely this won't go horribly pear-shaped, will it??]
