so what have you gone blind
have you forgotten what you have and what is yours
The first thing most people notice about Oleander is that he's very pretty; the second thing, usually seconds after the first, is that he's unbearably smug. He's arrogant and well-aware of his good lucks and massive power and flaunts both mercilessly. By default he's kind of a jerk and not usually in an endearing way; he can be charming when he wants, it's just that he usually doesn't care to expend the effort. He's largely unmotivated in day-to-day life and comes off as extremely flippant but Oleander has a habit of becoming incredibly one-track minded those infrequent times something does catch his eye. Once he sets his mind to something he's frustratingly hardheaded about getting it done. He basically taught himself magic in this way and was light years ahead of the majority of the class when he entered school. He gets caught up in his own life and overlooks other people's; frankly he's a terrible friend because he's selfish with his time and things and greedy with his reputation. He doesn't really care about 99% of the people he meets. Hellebore is the light of his life and an exception to all of his rudeness. She usually rides on his shirt collar tucked under his chin. He is extremely self-doubting but he covers it with his smugness.
Oleander and Eurydice met at a Mikenan school of magic, where they became magical and academic rivals. Their rivalry frustrated the headmaster, who could see quite clearly that their magics would work incredibly well together should they ever cooperate. After a particularly nasty fight the headmaster gave them a quest and then magically bound them until their errand was complete. The two are unable to be farther than 20 feet from each other, under penalty of severe discomfort and pain. They have been questing for 6 months now, all for the sake of some supposedly magical pendant infused with a goddess' power. Oleander specializes in shadow magics, a rare offensive type magic that allows him to do a number of things. He can reinforce his muscles by threading shadow filaments under his skin, making himself significantly stronger and faster. When pressed he can manifest shadow weapons, though it's difficult for him. He can move through shadows like portals and sometimes move other people through them too, though 80% of those people he 'loses' (as in, they disappear forever, presumably dead). If he uses his magic for too long or uses too much he gets sick with it; his veins and pulse points will go black and he gets physically exhausted. Much to his chagrin Eurydice's magic can prolong Anders' by a great deal, and keep him from getting sick at all.
