Background

Hometown: A small town nobody remembers. She’s glad to be out of it and doesn't regret not going back.
First Memory: Watching as she drove away, looking out the back window to watch her mother disappear into the dust.
Most important childhood event that still affects her: Her first shift wasn’t magic—it was survival. The older boys had cornered her again, their laughter sharp and cruel. She fled to the bathroom, heart pounding, but the door wouldn’t hold. Desperate, she wished to be small, to disappear. And then she was. Curled up in a tangle of clothes in the laundry basket, unseen, unheard. Just a tiny, trembling thing hiding from a world too big and unkind.
Education: Normal school, but she never paid much attention; she dropped out when she was 15.
Religion: She’s never been to church; she believes and will pray to God occasionally.
Why? : Never been told or taught, and never had the opportunity.
Finances: Broke, never had much of anything.

Herself

Attitude

Most at ease when: Curled up in a snug, enclosed space—wrapped in blankets or nestled in bags—she feels safest when surrounded by warmth and gentle cuddles.
Ill at ease when: Out in the open with prying eyes, too many people watching or laughing or talking.
Priorities: To keep her Warlock safe, her best friend, her partner.
Philosophy: At the end of the day, life is a game. And I play to win.
How s/he feels about self: Confident now; she's had a lot of years to come into herself and know where she stands.
If granted one wish what would it be: To go back and see her mom, fix her, and tell her it would all be ok.
