I reread the 8th day series over reading break a while back, so I decided to draw my head canons for some of the characters in high school after the series.
Jax Aubrey
He moves to go to Dorian’s school after graduating middle school to live with Riley and Evangeline, but basically alone for most days of the week.
Despite being a bit oblivious and nice to most people he meets, Dorian described him as a bit scruffy and delinquent-like. He definitely looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon bun. (He got that from Riley)
In fact, for the first few years of high school, most students are scared of him because he kept skipping classes (for some Grunsday missions) and looking like he just came out of a few fights
He learnt how to cook and bake not only because he now lives alone, but after seeing the twins’ atrocious diet and how picky Tegan was due to her sensitive nose, he decided to make good food
He is the mascot of the cooking club and the members absolutely adore him because they are the few people who actually see that he is not scary
He becomes secretly popular by the end of high school, though he doesn’t know himself.
Despite his initially mediocre grades (he shares a brain cell with Billy and Tommy), he studies hard to go to the same university Tegan is applying to. The reason why he applies for any universities is because it’s what his dad and now Riley want for him to do
One of his earrings is a gift from the round table for being a core field agent for them and they wanted a quick way to track him if any of the missions went south. It is directly linked to Tegan’s scry bowl due to their previous partnership in the Morrigan mission. (And because the round table also thinks they’re cute together.)
Dorian Ambrose
I’d like to think that he completely detaches himself from the Round Table business and opens a transport business with brownies
Tegan Donovon
She and her family move to New York and go to the same school as Jax due to their increased involvement in the Round Table
Looks like a cinnamon roll, will kill you
She has a lot of hidden pockets to steal and store things with ease
She was a bit of a weird kid in the first year of high school, but with her charisma and analysis of school society, she quickly became the school’s most popular kids
While she’s still a bit of a chaos causer, due to the stupidity of her friends and brother, she does act as the mom friend when Evangeline is not there to take that role
She’s like the dad that doesn’t want pets (brownies in this case), but pretty much adopt one and love them dearly after a week
Eats anything Jax makes (food-wise)
Get jealous easily when it comes to Jax
Hosts girl’s night with Leslie and Addie where they start seances or whatever girls do at girl’s nights
Gets super high grades now that she doesn’t focus on stealing for a living because the Round Table pays them for their services
Plans to get into computer science in university
Tommy Donovon
Definitely gets buff and become the himbo of the group
Some other characters
Leslie
Definitely gets anxiety and PTSD from the Morrigan situation (definitely needs therapy)
Gets a tattoo on her wrist (done by AJ), similarly to the family crests, but it’s actually a ward against the Morrigan
Gets close to Billy because they are the “normal ones”
Addie
She’s going to show up one day on a normal day of the week casually while other people freak out that the 8th day curse is broken or something and some of the murderous Kin were free, but she would just go “yeah, I figured out how to break it but only for me.”
Then she goes to live with Jax because his apartment is way too big for one person
She’s skipped a few grades to be one under Jax and Tegan and is definitely the real delinquent of the school
Gets highlights in her her, to Evangeline’s dismay
She doesn’t study but gets amazing marks
Gets introduced to Avatar the last Airbender and convinces Jax and the gang to make the life action film of it using her magic and submits it as homework and convinces everyone the CGI was just really high quality
Evangeline
Just happily living away with Riley
Just a bit into arson
The mom friend
Does argue a lot with Addie but she’s proud of her at the end of the day
Billy
The flirt of the friend group
Gets a tattoo on his wrist (done by AJ) claiming that he can make his own bloodline (and who knows, maybe his kids will be able to get into the 8th day)
I don’t know, I just think that Billy and Leslie would be good together
Studies mythologies in college and goes around the world to investigate and learn more about what my be in Grunsday that they don’t know about
Is the intelligence analyst that the Round Table must consult with, as he is able to give the regular citizen perspective
Also helps regulate the relations between the normal people and the transitioners when a wild event is occurring, so the huge power imbalance between them in the books lessen
Riley
Very cowboy core (the part that said he wears cowboy boots in the book will never leave me)
His plan of sticking with Evangeline for every Grunsday works well and they have a happy life together
Core member of the Round Table
Tired all the time
Gets really weirded out when Jax is older than him
Quick reminded that Riley's family and all their friends were killed at his sister's engagement party, leaving him with only his best friend, his best friend's parents, and his sister's fiance. Like please, somebody get my boy some therapy.
