Wylan - the approachable one. Subjects are of course math, chemistry and music. His favourite one is music and he leads at least two choirs. The teacher who is always dressed comfortably, always seems to have time for you, always relaxed and not strict at all, but somehow you learn a ton with them. Learning with Mr. Hendriks is fun. He makes sure that every student feels welcome and that they know they can always come to him with any problem (they do).
Kaz - the scary one. Subjects are politics and history. Incredibly competent in the classroom, can answer every single question ever asked. Students do not dare to approach him outside the lesson though. There are rumors. Everyone's on time for his class, everyone has done their homework. You do not cross Mr. Brekker. Once a year out of nowhere he pulls the most elaborate heist for which you need everything you have ever learned in his class. You don't know when it'll happen. There are bets about what it'll be this year. Noone ever predicts it and when it happens, it is the most memorable day of your entire school time.
Nina - the fun one. Teaches various languages and runs the school library. Easily persuaded by students into any shenanigans. Coaxes them against her colleagues. Regularly gets into bets with them, gives out dares to make Mr. Brekker say something or prank Mr. Helvar, gives out stickers for the winners. Most of her lesson is just chit-chat or spontaneous excursions to the outdoors to proof a stupid silly point someone made. Students are shook when they find out how scarily skilled she is and not only is she fluent in 6 languages but apparently has military training and broken a man's neck with her pinky once??
Matthias - the strict one. Teaches PE/sports and history. Also religion, if that exists as a subject where you live. The opposite of Mrs Zenik. No fun there. Super high expectations. Hands out bad grades like it's Christmas if you do not perform well. Students can NOT believe it when they find out that he's married to Mrs Zenik. He does not understand their confusion. Yes, I'm her husband, what's there to laugh about? Now get back to running if you want to get anywhere in life.
Inej - the cool one. PE/sports and hosts a bunch of extracurriculars in self-defense and fighting. Mad respect from students just from how competent she is. Rather strict, but in a way that everyone knows she cares about your success and well-being. Will demonstrate an exercise again, explain every detail until you feel safe enough to do it, encourages students to grow above themselves, always reminds them to check their safety first. If you get praised my Miss Ghafa ... you have earned that. Everyone knows she's married to Mr Brekker. Noone dares to ask about it. It makes sense and it makes her a whole league more intimidating.
Jesper - not actually a teacher. Just always there. Known only as "Mr. Hendriks husband". Referred to himself as his trophy wife once and it stuck. He loves it. Students love to ask him about gossip on the other teachers and trying to figure out if what he's telling is true or not. Absolute oversharer. Is like the school's service dog.
Needless to say, the fact that all of them are friends and sometimes you see them all gathered at the waffle place ... it never stops to baffle their students. Oh and only wait until they find out that their loving, soft-spoken Mr. Hendriks is the richest man in town and owner of the van Eck business and apparently there are rumors about the disappearance of Jan van Eck years ago.
