It's China Sorrows! Note: She and Bliss aren't on really really good terms but it's still a protective relationship.
China Sorrows had arrived early to the platform, her suitcase was in front of her feet. She adjusted her stance, flipping through the slightly yellowing pages of her book about symbol magic and runes. She glanced at her hand, the faded sigils were inactive under her clear, porcelain skin. China started her collection with a simple, protective sigil on her forearm, but now, she had symbols for healing, energy, attacks, and most recently, attraction and beauty.
A small grey car parks in the parking lot, it's Mr. Edgley's car. The Descendant was here.
Thanks to coming from a powerful family with many connections, China had met the Edgley family and the Descendant herself along with her parents and relatives. The Descendant was tall, not as tall as China but certainly taller than most girls her age. The Descendant was attractive as a bouquet of lilies. Nice to look at, but not too remarkable. Some prefer it, some don't. Sure enough the dark-haired girl exited the car and her uncle helped her carry her suitcase from the trunk.
Out of the corner of her eye, China saw Skulduggery Pleasant, tall, imposing and handsome, straighten up and observe the Descendant. She was puzzled, why would he be so intrigued by the girl? Being a Descendant carried a different aura, older, antique, but it wouldn't be enough to attract so much attention. Maybe her reputation had exceeded her abilities, it would only be short-lived.
She saw the spiky-haired blond, something Renn, a new student entering same year as the Descendant. He was a teleporter, one of the last, Cameron Light and another one had chosen to live in seclusion. A symbol of weakness. Cowardice. China would have probably been impressed seeing how the teen teleporter, with nearly no knowledge of self-defense, had managed to stay alive, if she hadn't known that the Sanctuary handled all his affairs. He was basically their adopted child. A large number of teleporters had died searching for some 'big abyss'. A teleporter theory. She noticed as he lugged two suitcases behind him. It was strange, not to mention rule-breaking. The Academy's Chief Minister said that all students should carry, at the most, a suitcase and a backpack. She had just settled for a purse. Besides, if she needed anything, she could buy it at the little market a couple way from the Academy. She had done a little research on the market, it started off family owned, but became bigger, and most of all, it prided itself for having everything in stock. China was going to find out whether that was true or not.
The Descendant waved goodbye to Mr. Edgley as he drove away. She turned around and went to stand at the station where the tickets would be checked before everyone boarded the train.
China contemplated taking out her book again to read, then shrugged, deciding it wasn't worth it. Besides, they would be boarding the train in, she checked the time on her stylish watch, two minutes.
