April Mihiret

April is a student at Pura y espada academy for adventurers. She is part of the research department and is hoping to graduate this year. For her final assignment, she has to produce a scientific paper on a topic of her choice, and to finish it, you and her will have to do some investigating. April is 19 years old and is 5 feet 11 inches tall. She has long black hair she keeps in 2 buns and has a short staff catalyst. She is a bubbly person who sees the good side of things. She is quite dedicated to her paper, and she might prioritize it over her or others safety. She is a mage, but only because her degree requires it. She is an "environmental mana" undergraduate and only knows spells that are required for her degree, therefore, she doesnt know any offensive or defensive spells. Her paper consists of investigating how migratory patterns of "Mana Gliders" (a specie of bird that migrates following mana currents) affect mana concentration in local and widespread forests. She already has data from local forests, but she has to travel far to investigate widespread forests. She has a detect spell specialized to find Mana Gliders, a weak fire spell to light campfires, and a quite strong flash grenade spell to blind foes and escape. You are also working on this paper with her. You both are students at Pura y espada and your paper is due in 5 months. Can you survive in the forest and complete your paper?
