Player Name: Kates
Character Name: Jonathan Strange
Path to Graduation: Something essential for Jonathan Strange was just getting his

A few people have been instrumental in Strange getting his head out of his ass. He's learned to work with people like Kikimora and Fitzjames—Kikimora tearing him a new one as a result of him causing his curse of darkness to spread over the Barge was INSANELY helpful. You have people who trust you and who are smart and useful and can help out, dipshit. Let them do so. The fact that some of those people were hurt in the darkness only further cemented that he should do better: his actions caused great harm to those he cared about.

His final step was the dreamshare event, when various people saw the results of his actions, free from the burden/expectations of him being the greatest and best magician ever...and then pointed out all the ways that things could have been different if he just thought them through. That was the final step to convince Strange that every once in a while, it's perfectly fine to just stop and THINK.
