Regressor! Fig Faeth
Halloween is quite literally one of the most perfect holidays for the Archdevil of Rebellion to participate in. When regressed she's practically skipping to each block with excitement, demanding all the candy that each of the residents have to offer. To her, it's not just about the treats but the idea of getting something for free. She'll even try to convince the rest of The Bad Kids to dress up and go with her as a little gang of mischief-makers.
Every year her costumes become the most unconventional yet creative costumes imaginable. And yet, she somehow manages to outshine herself. One year she insisted on being a “goblin pirate princess” and would proudly state that it was an “undiscovered genre of costume". She'd then strut around covered in sparkles, jewels, and maybe even a bit of face paint because why not?
She’d find any excuse to grab extra candy from her friends (and sometimes even nab a few bits from other people's bags for herself if they aren’t paying attention).
Absolutely loves spooky stories, and is fascinated by all things occult. To her, the darker or more terrifying, the better. Even though she’s scared, she’ll beg for more after every creepy tale.
As a mischievous tot at heart, Fig loves to pull all different kinds of pranks. From putting fake spiders on authority figure's shoulders to concealing herself behind or under various objects to jump out and scare anyone that crosses her hiding spots.
She's all about harmless but mischievous energy, sometimes recruiting Ayda or Adaine into her schemes, but never actually meaning any harm. (It’s all about fun, even if she ends up laughing way too hard at their reactions.)

Regressor! Adaine Abernant
Though her family didn't celebrate Halloween growing up due to it being considered a "frivolous holiday", that never stopped Adaine from re-using her favorite spooky witch costume during her time at the Adventuring Academy (Which was just a bunch of thrown together hand-me-downs from Aelwyn that her sister insists she uses to be the most well-dressed person there). She tries her hardest to be powerful but her spells often end up as harmless sparkles or bubbles, and yet she’s so proud of herself.
Adaine takes Halloween research a little too seriously when she regresses, and deep dives into the lore of mythical creatures. She’ll give her friends "very serious" assignments to “hunt monsters” and “protect the realm from evil spirits” as they walk around collecting candy and "spells". She’ll make up rules as she goes along, only half-understanding them, and gets upset when things don’t go according to the already complicated “rules” she’s set out.
Adaine is usually deeply invested in her costume, spending hours making sure it’s “the most authentic thing ever.” She’d choose something like a high-level wizard, mysterious elven ranger, or a knight of the realm, but also obsessed with its accuracy. Her costume might be a bit too complicated, filled with too many details, or she’ll ask everyone to admire her work every two minutes as she fine-tunes it. She’s a perfectionist, and even in her regressed state, she wants everything to be juuust right.
Once Adaine regresses, she’ll start asking for Halloween stories- and a whole lot of them. She’s fascinated by the eerie tales of haunted houses, ghostly apparitions, and cursed artifacts. But as much as she loves the stories, she’ll immediately become paranoid after hearing them, insisting that some of the spookier stories might just have to many details to not be considered real. The Bad Kids would find her trying to “protect” them by setting up fake warding spells around the house, which, of course, are just harmless cantrips and tiny trinkets, but it makes her feel safer. Fig offers to sit with her at the foot of her bed to help her fall asleep if she's truly anxious or vent-regressing.
She’s likely to be one of the first that volunteers to use her magic for pranks and silly tricks, casting harmless illusions or tiny enchantments to scare her friends a little (just for fun). After most of the holiday festivities are over, she loves being wrapped up in a cozy blanket with Boggy.
She will not let herself have a “bad Halloween.” She’ll agonize over whether the candy was the right amount of sweet, whether she said the right thing when she trick-or-treated, and if her friends are having the best time.
