Well, the thing she definitely (but not proveably) stole is basically something like a mix between the Millenium Puzzle, the Lament Configuration, and the Behelit. Very very bad news to have stolen, and under normal circumstances the only person to have a motive to steal it would be the next dark lord.

@pteryx @leaveitblank
I don't think so. We're going to see normal malice from government employees. For example, the macguffin she stole was being displayed in a museum as bait for Baby Voldemort, who happens to be her best friend. Normally the dark lordling isn't a team player and would just charge in and grab it, so there was a security team to nab anyone who tried to steal it and then Get Rid Of Them. Obviously detaining people for pre-crime is not legal, so this was a secret operation.

@Ziggurat
Huh. I never considered that. I think i need to rework her backstory a bit, since I wrote that she'd already been to juvie once in 2nd grade when she turned the school bully into a speedbump. If there's a minimum age for criminal liability, what would happen to that murder charge?

@leaveitblank
Fantasy setting, gonna be inspired by America because that's what I know. Main change is that lawyers are, by nature of the magic system, always wizards. The actual story takes place in magic school, and this isn't the main character so the trial isn't going to be given much attention.

For context, the macguffin in question is something like a cross between the Millenium Puzzle and the Lament Configuration. It takes a powerful mind and will to solve it, and the sort of people who are drawn to it will do great things—terrible, yes, but great. It's reasonable to assume this 10-year-old middle-class white girl stole it because she's going to grow up to be the next Voldemort, so I think its reasonable for the judge to throw the book at her.

I just realized I used the wrong word in the post. Strattera is only available as a capsule.

Thanks. The pictures give me a pretty good idea of the scale of these things.

Feel like this is the edgy relative of the classic Cleric Inquisitor archetype who uses Healing Word and Revivify for enhanced interrogation of "sinners".

Alfies's curse is a sign that she's the reincarnation of Cadmus Blair (think Salazar Slytherin). Considering that Alfie's draconic greed is well-established far before she starts turning into a dragon, I think these traits would have to be encouraged by her family. It'll be a point of tension with Terry, since his sister is spending a lot of time with a family that loudly hates that their daughter is required to take useless classes like Reading, History, and Natural Philosophy ☹️

@SteposVenzny Good point on Minty sounding exactly like Minthe. I might give her a nickname like "Slugger" or "Knucksie" instead, since she's got anger issues and is gonna kill her best friend someday.

@pteryx recommended Justinian as a replacement for Harrison. Maybe Jeffery could work? Earlier last names for him that I threw out included Gwion-Bach, Taliesin, and Pittacus. Thought those all were too on-the-nose. I'm also fairly certain I read a book recently with a protag named Taliesin?🤷‍♂️
