O
Octavia, called Tavi, Montrose
Upper Fifth, Prefect
A prefect: calm, authoritative, and faintly mischievous. Tavi knew about the Hobbithouse all along, and said nothing, and watched. She is the sort of prefect who enforces exactly the rules worth enforcing, and looks the other way for the rest.
- She loves
- A younger girl who is braver than she knows. A secret worth keeping.
- She fears
- Using her authority the wrong way, or too soon.
What she is not telling you
She could have stopped the whole adventure with a word, at any time, and chose instead to let it happen, and to be near enough to catch anyone who fell.
