Joanna has been drawing since she was five and it's been her way of coping. She has dabbled in a little bit of everything from graphite sketching to oil painting. She's also a big reader but has recently been obsessed with mangas, her favorite currently being Sakamoto days. She hates being alone and her favorite color is periwinkle purple.

Aarushi has been indulging in poetry and creative writing since eighth grade, channeling her most complex emotions into words. Writing, for her, is a way to express what’s often unspoken: those moments of doubt, joy, and confusion that keep us awake at night. It’s the challenge of finding the right words to capture those fleeting feelings that keep her writing. When she’s not stuffing her head in a book or cursing the dictionary for not having the "perfect" word, you’ll find her tutoring, diving into medical research, or reading whatever piques her interest. Writing helps her transform raw emotions into something tangible, allowing her to share the deeper emotions of humanity, that often are left unshared.

Aimee is a like a neon rainbow but still pastel, if that makes sense? She's the type to get along with anyone she meets and overwhelm introverts with her energy. Though on the outside, she seems like your typical, diligent, uninteresting student. Aimee has been drawing ever since she was born, but did it professionally since she was six. She has won 2 awards for her oil paintings! She loves writing and painting, but unfortunately loses against deadlines... Find her around laughing with friends or strolling around at a mall or museum!

Marie started drawing during the pandemic and art has become her passion. She also enjoys swimming, fashion, and cooking.

This is Gisele. To be honest, she doesn't know how she got here. Well, her english isn't bad, but it's not like she writes novels or even read books in her free time. Gisele messed around while critiquing other works and found out the consequences of her actions. But, she still enjoys all of the works sent to the magazine and is super grateful to be an In-House Editor. In her own words "I am very excited to experience a new wave of incoming talent!"...whatever that means.

Melody is an aspiring artist, who enjoys experimenting in many mediums.  She loves to doodle and read fantasy novels in her free time.  Melody has been drawing since she was five and does not envision herself stopping anytime soon.  Her favorite music artists (as of writing this) are Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and the Crane Wives.

Nellie: Enigmatic being. 

Cameryn likes to read and write poetry. She often spends her time sleeping in her bed and watching her phone for hours. She loved to write stories ever since elementary school. One fun fact about Cameryn is her favorite food is spaghetti. 

Raaghavi has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. She has placed in writing competitions and has been featured in a few literary magazines as well. Writing is her foremost passion in life but she immensely enjoys singing and photography as well. She has and will always be a dreamer and nothing makes her hapisr than weaving her creativity into words.

Nimbus has been, and will always be, made of art. heartstring roses and sea salt neurons. vocal chords out of stardust. They create for someplace beyond, yet here, s(he) writes for Arras. adds some photographs. Anything for Arras, really. and hopefully, she isn't too late, and he isn't disconnected. Last of all, they have Arras to thank for reconstructing pain into healing.

It's not that Artemis isn't motivated to write, they just happen to have way too many hobbies besides writing, and also procrastinate... okay, maybe they aren't motivated. They're a character-centric horror author that loves sappy coming-of-age stories and hate-annotating books they thrift.
