Opal. Dream Walker. From the Amplifier series. At thirteen years old, Opal has already had to fight for almost every aspect of her life, including her chosen family. She is intelligent and fiercely focused, but still playful and loving with a seemingly endless capacity to adapt and forgive. She appears to be actively putting together a gang of powerful magic users at the Academy. Reasons unknown but certain to be explosive. Illustration by Memo
Opal. Dream Walker. From the Amplifier series. Skilled at quickly picking up magic, the little witch has an advanced understanding of the construction and execution of witch magic, including some rune-based spells. Doesn’t dwell on the trauma she’s endured, but also doesn’t deny that darkness or run away from a challenge. Vigorously relishes the tiny bits of joy to be found in a snowball fight, a chocolate chip cookie, or playing a video game with a demon dog. Competitive, but kind. Illustration by Memo

The Amplifier Series is set within the larger Adept Universe but can be read separately. The main series starts with Demons and DNA (Amplifier 1) but there are two prequels (bundled together) as well. Click here for the full/recommended reading order of the Adept Universe.
