Backstory
As a young girl in Starlight City, Emily Fox loved walking in Blue Glades National Park. Her mother Eliza, a single working mom, had neither the time or energy to deal with a rambunctious, hyperactiive little girl, and so it was often a relief to her when little Ems went out into the woods. At least, until one day she returned with a familiar red fox trotting after her.

Eliza did her best to chase away the fox that had attached itself to her daughter, but her ex-husband's companion would not be denied - the creature simply joined her at school, appeared overnight even through locked doors, made itself invisible to Eliza, and begged treats from her until she was forced to give in and simply allow Emily to have her companion, who she called Renard.

The fox was the manifestation of the magical powers Emily had inherited from her father, a supervillain called the Red Wolf - not just the fox ears and heightened physical abilities she had had since birth, but the power to deceive and affect the perceptions of those around her.

As Emily grew up, Eliza did her best to encourage her daughter to use those new skills and abilities to entertain rather than let her take after her father, and it worked - she became an actress. And for a time, Emily was satisfied with this.

Recently, however, she saw a news report for the first time on the supervillain the Red Wolf, a sly villain who operated with his head under the radar... and recognized the fox who trotted near him.

Since then, Emily has been determined to use Renard's gifts for good, and not to let the man she realized must be her father be the only representative of the fox's gifts.

In-Fiction: Night Sky Comics
Originally an online webcomic, Magister ran from 2002 until 2020, following the adventures of a 17th-century wizard named Arthur Peregrine, along with a small cast of side characters. Over the course of the comic's award-winning run, Arthur grew from a brash young man barely worthy of the title of Magister to much wiser - if still somewhat arrogant - ghost, dead at the hands of a former friend. He adopted a young witch named Penelope and, after discovering her immense talent in soul magic, taught her how to harness her skills for good. He fought corrupt gods, saved kingdoms, gained power and lost it, and by the end of the run was satisfied with his life, or rather, his unlife - confined to the magical Tower he had built (as he had been since his death spurred the last arc of the comic), focused on guiding and teaching his daughter, most of his friends dead but at peace with it. The overall story had a bittersweet ending which fans adored - tragic for most involved, but still with a great deal of hope for the future.

Two years after Magister concluded, fans were eager to see what its creator would create next when he announced that Night Sky Comics had hired him as a writer. Some hoped that they would publish a continuation of Magister that focused on Penny - others were eager for him to create a new, original hero in the world of Starlight City - still others wanted to see him write arcs for their favorite existing heroes.

Most of his original fans were rather disappointed, therefore, when it was revealed that Night Sky Comics had purchased the rights to Magister in addition to hiring its creator, and his project for them was to fold Penny into the modern day with what many viewed as an asspull. Some were swayed, but many simply ignored the pleas of the creator that he had always intended a modern-day sequel to Magister set in a world of superheroes, and that Night Sky Comics had graciously allowed him to use their own world. The prevailing view of these disappointed fans was that he was creatively dried up and unable to make anything new, that he was too scared to leave behind the characters he was already comfortable with.

Despite the original fanbase being irate, however, many new readers were enraptured by Night Sky Comics presents Magister and, as the rising tide of new fans outweighed the old even for the original Magister webcomic, excited for the announcement of an animated adaptation of Magister, its first season to be released in 2024.
