Nathan Jest

As a child, Nate was often considered foolish for doing card tricks and ‘practical magic’ due to the fact they lived in a world where magic existed. This is how he got his nickname, The Fool, and he embraced it. It was definitely a massive struggle for him to know that he was treated more like entertainment than a real person at times and that he didn't have any real friends. Nobody would appreciate being left with the role of court jester, but Nate sucked it up and accepted his fate. Nathan spent a lot of his free time studying and practicing his magic, wanting to find a way to mix his love of card tricks and magic. When he finally discovered his Unique Magic, he was accepted into NRC. After a bit of time, Nate had finally made a few friends and he was elated. He befriended Idia and Dimitri and felt a bond with Idia that wasn't really present in his relationship with Dimi. When he entered his second year, he became the vice leader for Heartslabyul after asking Riddle if there was anything he could do to help around the dorm. He was happy to hold a title with some worth. Nate was quite well loved in Heartslabyul, but still stayed alone a lot of the time. He spent a lot of time in the Heartslabyul gardens, skipping his classes, with a first year he had found hanging around out there. This first year, Lee, was not very happy to have company. They gave up on ignoring him at some point and they became friends. After a while, Nate had deduced that he was developing a crush on Ignihyde’s leader and tried to keep these feelings a secret. Unfortunately, his feelings didn't go far enough under the radar to slip past Preston. One night, as Nate was heading over to Ignihyde, he could feel his vision grow blurry and his body become heavy. After he blacked out, he woke up somewhere surrounded by trees and tied to one of them. He was missing his usual jacket and hat, looking around frantically to figure out where they could be until he noticed someone standing by a nearby tree. Preston was standing, wearing Nate’s jacket and hat, holding a knife. At this point, Nathan knew he wasn't going back to his dorm. He attempted to reason with Preston as he approached, but he just walked up to Nate slowly with the same empty stare he always had. Nate took a deep breath and accepted his fate. Once the attack was over, Nate let out one last shaky breath, asking Preston to take care of Idia. Preston continued to stare at Nate as the life drained from his eyes. After this, nobody really knows what happened to Nate’s body or what happened to Nate. It was like someone casted a spell upon everyone who knew him and made it seem like he was just a faint memory. Some where powerful enough to not be effected by this though, including Dimitri. Nathan woke up, a ghost now, on the floor of Ramshackle. This is now where he lives, and when he isn’t there, he’s out haunting Preston or sitting with Lee in the garden.
