Vander

Introduced in BOOK 10 as the Keeper of All Nature.

10-ch 94 Artemis states he’s very handsome with dark brown skin and short curls, nice eyes that are green mixed with hints of brown and gold

10-ch 101 Vander transforms into a chipmunk and states he can also turn into a rat, squirrel, beaver, gerbil, or hamster. He also turns into a classic witch and cries that he’s melting before turning into a puff of smoke.

He answers he’s in the wind and in the soil - he can be anything and reveals he is the Keeper of All Nature with his form as a lava monster.

10-ch 105 Vander states that his lava is at a constant twenty-two hundred degrees Fahrenheit. He reveals that he keeps nature in balance, and can be Mother Nature or Pachamama as the Incas called him.

Vander tells them today he’s a man, but tomorrow may be different. He explains that magic exists to right wrongs, to create balance where there is none but he is balance; a constant in the constantly changing world; so spells must not be able to harm the natural balance of things for the world to work as it’s supposed to. He describes chaos as a terrible, powerful thing

BOOK 11
11-ch 28 Vander tells Artemis that he hasn’t been to a werewolf pack house in a long while. He admits that some Fae are old enough to rival his age - he’s so old that he’s lost track but is older than everything around her. He admits that he was feeling down one day and a platypus taught him a trick to help him remember all the good things in his life - whistling. He kisses Artemis to cheer her up

11- ch 34 Artemis states that Vander is a good kisser; in fact one of the better kisses of her life. He tells her that the kiss of pure nature has restorative powers. In their second kiss, he cups her cheek and she states that his lips have the perfect firmness of a summer peach that gives just as you bite into it. When he puts his hand on her shoulder, she states that it felt like a warm spring morning filled with crisp breezes and fluffy clouds

11-ch 70 Artemis states that Vander has stormy grey eyes when he tells here that there is something wrong with the fabric of nature that he has to fix. Artemis states that she thinks of Vander as all powerful, able to handle anything

11-ch 77 After the incident with Arlo in the woods, Vander appears to Artemis as a woman with midnight skin, dark hair, and green eyes while wearing a flowing blue gown

11-ch 86 Vander appears to Cali and Jay in Xavier’s car on their way back to the pack house after leaving Lola at the Tottenville school. Cali states she is wearing a park ranger uniform, has cloud hair under the hat, and green eyes. Vander tells Cali that she is all of those things and also none of them when she asks if she is a witch or Fae.

BOOK 12
12-ch 42 Artemis states that Vander’s scent is fresh grass and the forest after a rainstorm
