In a way, this character and the entire vibe of the book is similar to Studio Ghibli films. There’s a visual theme that reoccurs that helps prove they are magical, but their general look makes them ordinary. They have a cat, which is quite animated, but they wear regular clothes and certainly don’t carry a wand.
