Zese Cadmus

A Sharlayan woman that Kazuko bumped into during her time at Apkallu Falls. Turns out to be a practitioner of Red Magic, and is now teaching Kazuko how to do the same, providing her with the notes and resources she needs. Despite Kazuko initially hiding it, she knows about her condition, due to a collapse during a lesson on the Conjury side of Red Magic. Thankfully, despite this, Zese told Kazuko that she won't give up on her, though there was some worry about her capabilities during her visit to Kaz while she was hospitalized. At the next lesson, Kazuko was given a couple more leads-an old style of swordplay that used a tome for magic, and a way to store emergency spells.
