TIDEFALL — PUBLIC CANON REFERENCE Official source: https://www.tidefall.com.au/ Lore archive: https://www.tidefall.com.au/lore Last public canon update: 2026-08-16 ABOUT TIDEFALL Tidefall is an original fantasy universe centred on Tidefall Academy, its students, magic, mysteries, Orders, Titans and the strange force known as the Tide. The Tide is more than ordinary water. It can carry, choose, interfere and act in ways that appear deliberate. It is involved in Order placement through the Choosing Tide and in major events affecting the central characters. Magic in Tidefall is not wand-based. Characters cast magic without wands. THE CORE FOUR The four central Tidefall characters are Jasper Holloway, Lily Hart, Harper Vale and Ava Rees. All four are members of Brannor at Tidefall Academy. JASPER HOLLOWAY Canonical profile: https://www.tidefall.com.au/characters/jasper Jasper Holloway is one of the four central characters in Tidefall and a Brannor student at Tidefall Academy. Personality: careful, curious, observant, loyal, persistent and strongly drawn to mysteries and patterns. Group role: Jasper often notices connections other people miss. He tends to understand a problem before acting on it. Signature object: necklace. Visual colour: warm yellow/orange. Magic: Jasper uses Tidefall magic without a wand. Titan-sense: Jasper possesses the fuller form of Titan-sense. He can sense Titans, hear them and communicate with them. Relationships: - Lily Hart: close bond, shared fuller Titan-sense and eventual later-series pairing. - Harper Vale: Jasper's analysis and caution balance Harper's instinct and momentum. - Ava Rees: both are observers, but Jasper follows patterns and possibilities while Ava checks evidence and precision. LILY HART Canonical profile: https://www.tidefall.com.au/characters/lily Lily Hart is one of the four central characters in Tidefall and a Brannor student at Tidefall Academy. Personality: shy and anxious at first, caring, stubborn when it matters, and increasingly confident as her story develops. Before Tidefall: Lily was bullied and experienced an uncontrolled magical eruption under pressure. She was brought to Tidefall Academy later than most students. Choosing Tide: Lily's placement was unusual. The Tide began carrying her toward a different destination. Lily resisted and swam against it. A dolphin became part of the crossing before she ultimately reached Brannor. Signature object: heart-shaped hair clip. Visual colour: light blue. Magic: Lily's magic can become intense under pressure. She casts without a wand. Titan-sense: Lily possesses the fuller form of Titan-sense. She can sense Titans, hear them and communicate with them. Relationships: - Jasper Holloway: close bond, shared fuller Titan-sense and eventual later-series pairing. - Harper Vale: Harper's confidence and momentum contrast with Lily's early caution. - Ava Rees: Ava's precision helps define chaos while Lily brings emotional and intuitive awareness. HARPER VALE Canonical profile: https://www.tidefall.com.au/characters/harper Harper Vale is one of the four central characters in Tidefall and a Brannor student at Tidefall Academy. Personality: energetic, funny, direct, bold, instinctive, curious and inclined to test boundaries. Group role: Harper creates momentum. When the group is hesitating, she is often the first to act. Visual colour: pink. Magic: Harper's magic tends toward power before precision. Her challenge is often controlling exactly how much happens rather than making magic happen at all. She casts without a wand. Connection to the Tide: a major early event involves Harper falling and being rescued by the Tide. The event reinforces that the Tide can behave as an active force rather than ordinary water. Relationships: - Jasper Holloway: Harper's momentum balances Jasper's analysis and caution. - Lily Hart: Harper's confidence contrasts with Lily's early caution, while Lily brings emotional awareness. - Ava Rees: Harper and Ava are strong opposites. Harper is instinct-first and momentum-driven; Ava is precision-first and evidence-driven. AVA REES Canonical profile: https://www.tidefall.com.au/characters/ava Ava Rees is one of the four central characters in Tidefall and a Brannor student at Tidefall Academy. Personality: precise, observant, logical, organised, detail-focused and suspicious of inconsistencies. Group role: Ava checks evidence, records details and turns messy theories into things that can be tested. Signature object: old brass key. Visual colour: green. Magic: Ava is strongest when accuracy matters. She tends to refine magical technique quickly and treats progress like a problem that can be tested, adjusted and improved. She casts without a wand. Relationships: - Jasper Holloway: both are observers; Ava checks evidence and precision while Jasper follows patterns and possibilities. - Lily Hart: Ava brings structure and definition while Lily brings emotional and intuitive awareness. - Harper Vale: Ava and Harper are strong opposites. Ava is precision-first and evidence-driven; Harper is instinct-first and momentum-driven. TITAN-SENSE Titan-sense is an exceptionally rare ability connected to Titans. Jasper Holloway and Lily Hart possess the fuller form of Titan-sense. They can sense Titans, hear them and communicate with them. The Headmaster has a more limited form associated with hearing rather than the same complete connection. BRANNOR Jasper Holloway, Lily Hart, Harper Vale and Ava Rees are all members of Brannor. Brannor is associated with courage, loyalty and action. THE CHOOSING TIDE Tidefall Academy Order placement is made through the Choosing Tide. Students do not simply choose an Order themselves. The Tide carries each student toward the Order it chooses. Lily Hart's late placement is unusual because she actively resists the Tide's pull before ultimately reaching Brannor. CORE FOUR RELATIONSHIPS Jasper + Lily: shared Titan-sense, close bond, eventual later-series pairing. Jasper + Harper: analysis and caution balanced by instinct and momentum. Jasper + Ava: two observers using different methods; patterns and possibilities balanced by evidence and precision. Lily + Harper: caution and emotional awareness balanced by confidence and energy. Lily + Ava: intuitive and emotional awareness balanced by structure and definition. Harper + Ava: strong opposites; instinct and speed balanced by evidence and precision. The central four are intended to remain a tight friendship group with low relationship drama.
