As fucked up as it sounds, I really hope Agott doesn’t become a librarian.
Don’t get me wrong, she’d be fantastic.
But I think a big part of her arc will be finally escaping her parent’s expectations and doing what she likes. Which seems much closer to Olruggio’s line of work. Making things that make her and other people happy.
She doesn’t need to impress her mom. She doesn’t need to impress anyone. She can just be who she is.
And I also think something might happen to her drawing arm. The Brimmed Caps specifically targeted her first, drawing into her left arm. I have no problem believing the Brimmed Caps have something against the Librarians and their children, so of course they’d target her.
Then there’s also how connected Coco and Qifrey are to her. They’re both extremely impulsive, and part of the test was seeing if Coco specifically would use Forbidden Magic to save her (before Euini became an easier target).
I have no doubt Qifrey would do literally anything for his apprentices, let alone his first. He nearly took Easthies head off at the shoulders in a show of force. When Coco got hit in the face, he looked ready to lose his mind and morals to destroy Engendale. Only cause Coco twitched did he stop because she was alive.
Anyways, would be a very, very interesting arc if the Brimmed Caps targeted Agott, basically destroyed her drawing arm, and she had to learn how to draw again. But this time, Coco is there, telling her she doesn’t have to impress anyone. She doesn’t have to be a Librarian just because her family is.
And so she listens, and suddenly magic is…well, magic again. She enjoys it again. She’s finding her footing again. And she can be who she wants to be. Maybe even studying under Olruggio more often, creating toy contraptions and night lights shaped like animals.
Just a sweet idea, I think.
