Hi Nick. My name is Blaine, and I'm a graduate and a TA at the school. Sorry about the email rather than responding on your post, but I think it's frowned upon for non-students to comment.

Still, I just wanted to drop you a line and reassure you that no one here is going to treat you poorly because of your appearance. While I don't have a physical mutation, my fiance was born with several, including blue fur, yellow eyes, and a tail. To my knowledge, he's been overwhelmingly accepted and treated with kindness here.

And a reminder, if anyone does something to you, remember that you can tell one of the teachers, TAs, counselors, or the headmasters. Really, any adult that you feel comfortable with. The headmasters don't tolerate with bullying for any reason.

Welcome to the school! I really think you'll like it here.
