Team CRSE

Team CRSE (pronounced  curse ) is a group of four students that attend  Siren Academy. They are the secondary protagonists of  The Coming Storm.

Members
Canaan Vogel: Though not as smart or strong, Canaan does his best to fill the role of team leader and simultaneously be a reliable friend for his teammates. He provides a sense of comedic relief when things get too tense, and looks for alternative solutions to difficult problems that aren't always considered smart, but produce worthwhile results.

Ringo Alexander: The strongest team member. Ringo has the tendency to be a little hotheaded in the face of danger and often winds up diving head-first into a situation before thinking. Despite the fact that he's the least collaborative part of Team CRSE, he means well and will do what it takes to set things right (should he be the one to screw things over).

Sirius Aster: The smartest member of Team CRSE. His grades at Siren Academy place him at the top of his class. He is an intelligent tactician who chooses to overcome obstacles with his skills and problem solving talents. In social situations he uses his charming nature to retrieve the information and relationships he requires for further use down the road, and while many people consider him a likeable person, some find him a little manipulative. Whether this is a hindrance or an advantage in combat is still being debated by his teammates.

Emeraldine Scarborough: The only female member of the team, Evelyn considers herself the glue that holds her team together, as they would fall apart without her guidance or somewhat motherly instincts. She has high standards for herself and her teammates, and refuses to let them achieve anything lower than what she considers the bare minimum of excellence. Though first impressions lead others to believe she was initially a spoiled child, she will do what she can to help the rest of Team CRSE out of a tight spot.
