Overview
The Hatter teaches Pattern Magic at Thornwood Academy, the tradition formally known as Unraveling. His classroom is a place where the rules of reality are examined, questioned, and occasionally broken under controlled conditions.
His warnings to Alice about the fraying of Thornwood's magical architecture suggest that he has been observing structural decay for some time. Whether his concern is purely academic or stems from personal experience with pattern failure is unclear.
At Thornwood
He is one of the few professors who seems genuinely unsettled by the changes happening at Thornwood. While other faculty treat anomalies as curiosities, the Hatter tracks them as symptoms.
