Name:Juniper Murik- Gluttony
Age: ~300 years old. Stopped aging at her first death, at 20 years old.
Race: Witch
Appearance: Juniper changes her appearance like a person changes their clothes. She wears excessive makeup, and even her friends are unsure of what her “natural” look would be. According to other normal humans, she frequently wears makeup and colored contacts. In actuality, Juniper wears some makeup, but also uses spells to create filters to change not only her appearance, but pieces of the world around her to make things a bit more pretty/aesthetically pleasing.
Personality: Juniper is immature, considering her age. She is short-sighted, and likes to indulge in whatever she thinks is going to be fun/pretty at that moment. She has very poor impulse control.
For example, when she was at an amusement park and saw a specialty mini-donut food truck, she got every flavor, topping, and dipping sauce to try. Then she made some Tik Toks and live streams of her thoughts to broadcast to her followers. She only took a bite of each of the donuts to broadcast, then threw the remainders away when she was done getting her footage.Background: Juniper was executed for being a witch–not at the Salem witch trials, but in Great Britain. She was accused of bewitching men and causing them to be unfaithful to their wives. After her execution, Juniper found she had awoken with actual witchcraft. She learned skills of disguise from a mentor who believed she was being given a second chance to do some good in the world. But Juniper used it to extract revenge on the men who had gotten her killed.
In the process, she fell in love with herself. In her first life, she had tried to do the right thing, and it had only gotten her killed. She promised herself not to squander her second opportunity, and instead indulged in whatever suited her fancy, whether it was food, a bed warmer, or a dangerous activity. But she found she grew bored quite quickly with most hobbies and crafts, until the internet and social media became a prominent fixture. There, her overindulgence was rewarded, and people encouraged her to get more stuff, and be more over-the-top. Juniper thrived.
Currently, Juniper has a huge social media following. She has makeup tutorials, reviews of products, short videos of her doing sports and stunts, and food tastings. She has a plethora of people she considers friends, and she is known to treat her friends well.
The Detective reached out on social media, mentioning a delectable treat she had to try at some hole in the wall restaurant. They met up, and came up with an agreement that she would help with preventing others from exploiting the Innocents of the City, in exchange for exclusive access to new venue openings, menu items to try, etc.
Skills and Abilities: Mundane-Armed: Juniper is proficient with pistols, shotguns, and a few rifles. She also keeps a taser on her, in case fans (or haters) get a bit unruly.
Mundane-Allies: Juniper has lots of social media followers and friends. She can nearly always call on someone to provide something to her, like a ride, or a cover story, on short notice.
Magic-Beautify: Juniper can make small changes to the appearance of the world around her through means of a filter. Make trash seemingly disappear, or create illusions. She usually uses this to enhance her setting when filming or streaming out on the town.
Magic-Disguise: Juniper can change her appearance beyond the abilities of what makeup can provide. She could look average, but she chooses to look exotic, attractive, and sometimes otherworldly.
Magic-Indulge: Juniper can encourage others to indulge in their ‘guilty pleasures,’ creating a temporary fixation or obsession for something mundane to the point of mild self-harm:
For example, overeating or excessive running. This is less effective on beings with greater self-control.
Magic-Spells: Can use spells for minor healing, binding, and other magic effects.
Weakness- doesn’t practice these much, and their effects tend to be impacted by her gluttony. For example, she once tried to use a few flowers in a healing spell, and accidentally eradicated a field of crops in the process.
Weakness: Magic-Impulsive: When stressed, Juniper finds it difficult to curb her own indulgence, and might get derailed from something important with her own wasteful tendencies.
Mundane-Lover, not a fighter: Juniper is not great at melee combat. She is capable with basic self-defense, but doesn’t have abundant physical combat skills.
Mundane-Dyslexic: Though never formally diagnosed, Juniper has dyslexia and isn’t a great reader. This usually manifests by her getting ‘bored’ quickly when told to read and research, and is one of the primary reasons she initially struggled with spell-casting.
Mundane-Mortal: Juniper isn’t immortal (to her knowledge) and can get sick, injured, etc. She has the senses and physical abilities of an average human. It also seems she hasn’t matured since her initial death.
Equipment: Her cell phone is her primary tool, since she uses it to stream nearly constantly. She also has a makeup kit, a taser, and a small pistol in her bag.
Quips: -It’s fun having fun!
-If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing
-Your opinion of me doesn’t define who I am.
