The team is still in their early 20's, so it came as a shock to find out just how much they are hero worshiped at the academy. There is a wait list for Eleanor's classes, and there is a constant discussion of Anita and Tish's work.
The Headmaster has used this to get Gabriel to come back to teach.

From the age of 10, Gabriel spent most of his summers in intensive training with his Uncle Hank. His uncle was a former Special Operations operator, and trained him in the very same skills.
When classmates found out about this, he was either avoided or asked to share his skills.

Gabriel- Apple Parsnip Bisque (looks like baby food, tastes like apple sauce)
Eleanor- Tomato with grilled cheese if she can handle it.
Tish- Cream of Chicken
Anita- Chicken Noodle with fresh Jalapeños

Gabriel was declared Emotionally Disturbed, Learning Disabled at his mundane school because of the way his gifts were starting to manifest and the fact that he could see magical creatures his classmates could not. While he does have ADHD, the academy was able to help him learn to cope with it.

Among artificers and alchemists, there are unspoken rules as to the giving of advice. Much of the time, it is frowned upon, but engaging in a technical conversation with a colleague is openly soliciting advice. Both Tish and Anita try to abide by these rules.

Unsolicited advice is one of Gabriel's pet peeves. With the team, he know he is supposed to give advice freely. Outside of the team, he has to be told to give advice.
As a teacher, Eleanor occasionally give unsolicited advice to her students. She does try to practice moderation, however.

Gabriel did not hesitate to open his doors when Eleanor showed up after leaving her parents and the London Demesne. Despite death threats, he continued to protect her. The culminated in Gabriel threatening to turn "House Coburn's family tree into a telephone pole" if they did not leave them alone.

Tish collects coffee mugs, and the more inappropriate, the better. Her kitchen has an entire shelf of mugs that Anita refuses to let her display when they have company over. Her favorite mug is relatively tame, a mug of Shakespearean euphemisms for sex and genitalia.

If Eleanor goes anywhere near a craft fair, she will always be on the lookout for handcrafted, leather bound journals.
Anita will impulse buy snacks and souvenir key chains. Some she keeps as mementos, but the vast majority end up in one of her works of artifice.

Gabriel will impulse buy books, particularly as gifts for the rest of the team. He does wish that it was easier to impulse buy for himself, but there are legal restrictions to abide by, and he can make the rest himself.

Anita will start to fiddle with whatever piece of technology she has to hand. This will occasionally end up with ink stains from broken pens.
Eleanor will fidget, culminating in her pacing around the space or picking at her clothes. If she is forced to sit, she will tap her feet.

Gabriel will click a pen or tap it on a notebook, particularly if it is in a meeting with people he doesn't like.
Tish will pick under her fingernails. The more bored she gets, the larger and more obvious the object that she uses.

Eleanor hates fake social situation that require her to attend, but only as a status symbol.
She also hates any meetings that should have been an email or message.

Gabriel absolutely loathes anything to do with the different demesne's internal politics. He keeps getting invited to these balls and receptions, but finds the other guest stuck up and annoying.
Ditto for the school fundraising events, since he is classified as an adjunct professor and has to go.

None of the team are truly picky eaters, and the dining hall at the academy reinforced that with its selections. Coming from all over the globe helps, too.

Anita and Eleanor both have worked hard to lose the unearned reputations as 'Demesne Princesses,' with the connotation that they have few or no skills.
Both have responded to this differently.
Eleanor has focused on teaching and writing, particularly hoping to outdo her parents reputation.

Tish has a reputation as more of a merchant, particularly as she makes her income selling 'intimate potions and accessories.' While she appreciates most of the income, strangers have a tendency to ignore her other work and see her as little more than the sum of her products.

Gabriel is viewed as a leader, and frequently has responsibility for people outside the team thrust on him. He prefers working with his team, where no one simply defers to his judgement and aren't afraid to call out his mistakes. Everyone else, with a few exceptions, views him as a genius and leader

Anita wants to forget her first fight against another human. She still hears the sounds in her dreams.
Eleanor wants to have children and is physically incapable of getting pregnant. She is trying to compensate by teaching and babysitting whenever possible.

Gabriel wishes that he could hear his father's voice. He has been told multiple times that he sounds exactly like him, but has no basis of comparison.
Tish want to find something more in her life, since she feels everything she has came to her so easily.

Anita was gifted a set of precision tools made by her Grandfather shortly before he passed away. While they no longer go into the field with her, every device she makes at her bench is made with these tools. As they have worn out, she has started making exact copies to keep them with her.

When Gabriel left for the academy, his Uncle Hank gave him one important gift- a cigar in a protective tube, and Zippo lighter. While the cigar no longer travels with him after graduation, the Zippo is kept in a pocket, fully fueled. It's an easy source of flame that has save him more than once.

Nobody on the team has bitten anyone or anything else in a fight, that is not to say that they haven't bitten someone else for other reasons...
It's rare, and it is usually Tish who is doing it.

Tish had an accident in the lab, and discovered that her wrinkles reducing potion needs to be fixed.
Anita got clipped by Tish's knee while they were "trying something new" with the suspension rig. It turns out Tish wanted to find out if it could used like a tire swing...
