Hobbes

Originally a wooly chafer beetle, Hobbes was hatched before directly using living bodies in charmcraft was outlawed, and upon graduating from 

It would later teach Marigold, pegging her as a quick learner with an excellent grasp of the principles of transmutation it levered in its own work - and though she excelled in learning the craft, it was apparent that the sorts of inanimate transmutation that Hobbes had explored in their own studies were ever so slightly beyond her grasp. Though she could turn one living thing into another, the particular mindset needed to turn flesh to inert stone remained firmly beyond her grasp, and she graduated from their mentorship well-educated but still missing distinct pieces of her mentor's specialty.

CURRENT STATUS:

-lives in the woods. occasionally comes up to bother its former mentee

-eats glass

-solution for encountering problems is to simply modify herself so that the problems are irrelevant

-arguably more charmcraft than beetle at this point
