Character Intro
(Btw, this is kind of a weird mix between my old style and my new style, bc I traced the over and improved the art I did here. I did draw Dustin differently, though. Bc I didn’t really do them [nb hc] justice the first time around)

-Friendly rivals with Michael
-Quietly ships some of her students

-Pretty chill but is serious about what he does
-Captain of the Lego robotics team
-Plays trumpet, trombone, and drums for the most part

-Another reputable source for hugs
-Very intimidating when he needs to be. And in general, but he’s easy to warm up to

-Gets rumors and drama about the students from Jenna
-Keeps an eye on the kids that stay in the shadows and tries to talk to them

-Definitely the hot teacher. She’s been asked about “extra credit” numerous times. Will go off on any students who do ask
-Gets really pissed when someone’s being stubborn
-Has made some kids cry for various reasons
-Her lipstick and nail polish colors are literally a mystery because she refuses to say. And high schoolers being high schoolers, they turn it into a big theory
