About
An expert in magical research and a tenured faculty member, Eduard has spent more than half a century lecturing at Ilvermorny. Frankly, magic from a purely theoretical standpoint is often viewed as dull, especially when the class is more concerned with how likely their professor is to kick the bucket. Despite his old age, being surrounded by his young students has helped keep him youthful and fun-loving even if he can't quite recall their names. Do not allow for his curmudgeonly exterior to fool you as he is nearly always in good spirits making for a likable, if absent-minded, professor.

About
The study of Magical History is one of the few topics that interest Professor Espinosa in spite of its emphasis on memorizing historical dates, names, and events. As such, students are often found dozing off during her course lectures. While this would upset most, Magdalena couldn't care less. Her job is to educate her students, not coddle them. To her, success is a reflection of hard work and failure attributable to indolence. Unsympathetic to a student's pleas, Professor Espinosa is not one to offer second chances. Her inability to sugarcoat or dress up the truth can upset students and occasionally leave them in tears.

About
Ilvermorny's youngest professor, Emmeline Walsh, is about as charming as the subject she teaches. Upbeat and enthusiastic, Emme genuinely likes almost everybody she encounters, even less than savory characters. Nothing is ever as simple as black and white, and she much prefers the varying shades of gray anyway. Perhaps this is why she is so enamored with Charms as it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is.

About
As a formidable strategist with a need for everything to be defined, measurable, and quantifiable, Darius appreciates the standardized methods Potions provides. He'll often see the challenges and obstacles faced in his classroom as opportunities to push his students toward success, and because of his excellent leadership skills and charming demeanor, he's capable of running his class with relative ease. Seldom will he be the first to voice judgments and unless pressed will most often keep his opinions to himself. Although patient, Darius does have his limits. Provoke him at your own risk, for he possesses a hot temper and won’t hesitate to unleash it.

About
Professor Yadav takes his leadership role seriously and as such has a reputation for being quite intimidating if not scathing. He tends to say what he thinks directly and forcefully as he believes that there is a need to be cruel to be kind. After all, it is his job to prepare students to defend themselves against Dark Creatures, the Dark Arts, and other dark charms. As such, he'll be watching your every move, so tread lightly.

About
The art of Transfiguration is both complex and dangerous and therefore in need of a brilliant yet fiercely protective professor. Quiet and unassuming, one would never pin Sylvia Sanderson fit for the position. Regardless of Sylvia's timid disposition, she is both accomplished and astute. These talents permit her to tenderly advise her students in one of Ilvermorny's most precise and demanding fields of study.

About
Professor Wu is just about as affectionate and thoughtful with his students as he is with the plants and fungi grown in the greenhouses. "Call me Dave, my father is Mr. Wu," is a favorite phrase uttered by the chummy Herbology professor. Both hands-on and adventurous, Dave expects his students to act rather than just read or watch others perform a task. While his teaching method has been wildly successful and popular with his students, there are times when his ambitious and over-optimistic nature has led to an in-class incident or two.
