Forkle, is the current Foxfire Principal. Sophie hated the fact that the silver strip had to be licked to open your locker, and she didn't like how it was so unhygienic.Įvery day starts with an orientation where the principal reads announcements while other mentors take attendance of all the students using their registry pendants. However, on Sophie's first day, the flavor was Mallowmelt. Dex told Sophie to watch out for the days when Elwin picks the flavors, and Sophie definitely understood why when he picked 'fart flavor'. The Foxfire staff takes turns choosing flavors for the locker DNA strips, that students lick to gain access to their locker, mentioned in Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities. Mentors also have the ability to give prodigies detention.

Along with teaching, Mentors are also in charge of taking turns teaching detention. This also excludes physical education and agriculture, which are done with all prodigies on certain days. The Telepathy session between Fitz and Sophie with Tiergan as a mentor is an exception to this rule. All classes are taught one-on-one so that lessons can be modified to fit each prodigy. They also wear a waist-length half cape, which they have a pin for their own year mascot that they use to tie the cape on. The students are called prodigies and wear colors corresponding to their level. The teachers in Foxfire are called mentors and wear orange capes. When Fitz told Sophie that the school was called Foxfire, she thought it was a fungus and it made her and Alden crack up.

The academy is named after the rare bio-luminescence found in otherwise, dark, lonely places - and as such, Foxfire prodigies are expected to be a bright, welcome glow in an often-darkened world. It is somewhat a jeweled oasis in the middle of the desert, with its colorful towers and glass pyramid.

It is located in North Africa, seemingly near modern-day Egypt. Foxfire is the Lost Cities’ most prestigious academy for young elves, as well as the only 'noble school' - which means that graduation from Foxfire is one of the many qualifications for the Nobility.Īs stated by Bronte, Foxfire has been there a long time before the human 'middle ages.' Given Bronte's age, Foxfire would have had to be founded at least around 2000 BC.
