Arc 4 marks the first of three spotlight seasons — where we focus on storylines that highlight and engage with a particular character’s backstory and personal Journey™️.

Xainan, Lumièra, and Seir all walk a new path, but only one will have to face the end head on. I wonder who’s first…? 🤔

Thank you for asking! To clarify, we have a question on the form that asks permission (and only in specific circumstances) for a criminal background check. That question is on the form because we work with charities focused on children, such as the Make-A-Wish foundation.
