11 Cormac Fitzroy is one of the confirmed datable characters in Witchbrook, revealed in the run-up to launch alongside the original pair of Hana Sato and Eli Ivers, and joined later by Pip Marin. Inside the fiction, he is a gifted painter, a self-proclaimed family black sheep, and a member of the player's own coven at Witchbrook College. He is most often found at The Briny Brush, the gallery and art-supply shop perched on a weathered pier near Parasol Sands, where he prefers a canvas to a classroom.

33 Overview

55 Cormac was the third datable character revealed for Witchbrook. The studio framed him as a kindred spirit for players who appreciate the unconventional, with a perpetually paint-streaked outfit and a tendency to disappear into a painting for hours at a stretch. He sits inside the player's own coven, which means he shares lessons, group projects, and a regular orbit around campus with the rest of the early-reveal cast, but the most reliable place to find him is at The Briny Brush rather than in a lecture hall.

77 His public introduction leaned into three details that recur in his characterization: an artistic obsession that pulls him away from the formal curriculum, a sense of being out of step with his own family, and a clear preference for capturing the changing hues of Mossport on canvas. The studio has positioned him as the kind of romance option who responds to attention from players who can see beauty in the unusual.

1212 Personality and Style
1313  
1414 Cormac is written as the coven's resident artist, a young witch who would rather be in front of a canvas than sat in a stuffy old classroom. His outfit gives him away on sight: a perpetually paint-streaked smock and trousers, with stray smudges of color on his hands and forearms that he never quite gets around to scrubbing off. The studio has flagged him as a kindred spirit in those who can appreciate and find beauty in the unconventional, which doubles as a soft instruction to players. Approaching him with curiosity about his work, rather than steering him back toward formal coursework, is the lane the writing supports.
1515  
1616 Underneath the rebellious-artist surface, the early reveals position him as gentle and serious about his craft rather than dismissive of college. He has chosen a hard road at Witchbrook College, where every student is expected to grind through Alchemy or Divination homework alongside whatever else they are pursuing, and the studio has framed his black-sheep label as something he wears on purpose, not as a complaint.

1818 Role in the Coven
1919  
2020 Cormac is one of the player's covenmates, which means he shares the same year group and the same set of core lessons as the player. Coven membership in Witchbrook is a structural friendship layer: covenmates appear together in classroom scenes, group rituals, study sessions, and shared events across the academic year, and a strong coven is its own endgame for players who want a tight friend group without pursuing romance.
2121  
2222 Because he is a coven member as well as a romance option, players who pursue him romantically are still working within the regular rhythm of school life. There is no separate dating mode where the rest of the coven drops out of view, and Cormac shows up at college events alongside Hana, Eli, and Pip whether the player is courting him or simply trying to pass the semester.

2424 The Briny Brush
2525  
2626 The most reliable place to find Cormac is The Briny Brush, the gallery and art-supply shop on a weathered pier near Parasol Sands. The building was originally a working fisherman's pier shack and has been converted into a sunlit gallery and supply store run by retired fisherman Sal. The space is positioned by the studio as the right kind of room for the meaningful work Cormac wants to do: ample natural light bouncing off the sea, walls hung with paintings from local artists, and shelves of paints, papers, and brushes for customers stopping in to gather supplies.
2727  
2828 He is usually hunched over an easel at the back of the gallery, working on a study of light on water, the boardwalk crowd, or whichever corner of Mossport caught his eye that morning. Players who want to find him after the shop closes can also catch him sketching out on the boardwalk itself, on the sands of Parasol Sands, or up on the bluffs above town.

3030 Romance Track

3232 Romance with Cormac follows the same template as the other confirmed datable characters: conversations, shared quests, and shared experiences build affection over time, with gift-giving as a supplementary signal rather than the engine of the relationship. The romance system overview explains the mechanics in detail. Specific to Cormac, the romance writing leans on his art: paying attention to his current piece, asking about his subject choice, and being seen at the openings or showings he turns up to are the kinds of small beats the studio has highlighted.
3333  
3434 Like every romance option in the game, marriage is not on the table. The intended endpoint of a successful Cormac romance is a steady relationship across the school year, punctuated by dates and key events like prom, rather than a wedding or a permanent household arrangement. Same-sex romance is supported on the same terms as opposite-sex romance, and his availability does not depend on the player's chosen body, pronouns, or look.
