Nevidess Lancaster is a young Elvaari man currently enrolled in the guild's academy as a student. Ever the optimist, he is fascinated by history and literature and can commonly be found looking for ways to make himself useful to those around him.

Appearance

Despite being the youngest of the four Lancaster children, Nevidess is also the tallest, standing just over six feet. He is exceedingly slim and has trouble maintaining his weight; when he was younger, adults often mistook him as sickly. His shaggy hair is naturally blond, which he regularly lightens to a bleach blond, and he shares his mother's blue eyes. When he smiles, one can admire the boyish dimples on both his cheeks. Nevidess prefers to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

Personality

Nevidess is friendly and outgoing in many ways that ideally keep him out of the spotlight. He is a force of positivity and encouragement, always seeking to live up to the middle name Ari bestowed upon him when he was born. When it comes to others, Nevidess has never met a stranger -- though sometimes he has been known to share too much information and often fails to realize if someone is growing tired of his presence. Fortunately it is nearly impossible to offend the youngest Lancaster, so he will not take it to heart if he is asked to leave. He always wants to see the good in others and is somewhat of a people pleaser, occasionally to his own detriment. Since he almost never is seen without a book in hand, Nevidess often has his head in a novel or in the clouds, his imagination a distraction from his everyday life, and he has a habit of misplacing his belongings due to this lack of careful attention.

Biography

Nevidess was an unplanned addition to the Lancaster family, and is considerably younger than his other relatives because of this. However, because of the difference in age, his older brother Ari was able to play a part in helping raise the young Elvaari, sparing him from a similarly harsh and cold upbringing like his siblings received. The two are naturally close, serving as one another's most trusted confidants; Ari was the first person Nevidess spoke to about his gender identity when he was a teenager. Not long after beginning his transition, Nevidess enrolled in the guild's academy, and eventually was granted an internship in the Archivist Grand Library -- a position he greatly covets, but as of yet still lacks the organizational skills to do efficiently. When the Build-A-Bread bakery opened, Nevidess was quickly drawn in by his love of animals and subsequent fascination with Breadpals, and thanks to his personable nature, now works the counter part time. (Rest assured, you don't want him in the kitchen.)

Relationships

Ari Lancaster

"Ari's my best friend! I don't know who or where I'd be if it wasn't for him... What do you mean, 'that doesn't sound like him?'"

Nevidess looks up to his older brother in all ways except physical (a fact which he is mindful not to mention, lest he wound the other Elvaari's ego). Since Ari was already an adult when Nev was born, he took it upon himself to be the child's caretaker rather than leave him to be ignored by their parents or taken away by some hired nanny; Nev is very much in the dark about his older brother's self-serving and carefree lifestyle.
