[color=cc99c7][b]APPEARANCE[/b][/color]
[indent]Appearing to be in her early-mid twenties, her pale green eyes stand out the most: although mostly a dull green, flecks of deeper emerald and gold dot the irises. She tends to wear dark eyeliner and eye shadow that compliments the color. Sloane’s skin is dark brown in contrast, and she wears make up to accent her high cheekbones. Her dreadlocks are dark brown–nearly black–in color and are styled like a Mohawk with both sides shaved close to her scalp. She walks with a tall, confident demeanor and tends to wear a combination of tight pants and layered tanktops to show off her tattoo sleeves. Toned arms and legs stretch far, emphasizing her height and slimness–high heels help, too. She also has tattoos behind her ear, neck, on her back and legs, hips, below her chest, and..elsewhere. Said tattoos include but are not limited to her zodiac sign, favorite quote, a semi-colon, and tribal designs. When it comes to jewelry, she has small gauges in her ears and long necklaces that dangle over her chest. She’ll sometimes have thick bracelets and rings on, as well. 

Height/Weight: 6'1" / 150 lbs

Notable Tattoos (aka magic imbued tattoos): Water color compass on her wrist that she can use to locate items or people via magic. A tree of life on the back of her neck that has roots that extend down to her back tattoos. This tattoo is what gives her extended life. On the inside of her arm, she has “seize the night” scripted in Latin: carpe noctem. It allows her to read and speak Latin fluently and was one of her first tattoos. [/indent]
[color=cc99c7][b]ABILITIES[/b][/color]
[indent]Her magic isn’t terribly strong and she needs to research a lot to do large spells–such as the ones she links to tattoos. However, little things such as telekinesis are doable without the extra effort. Magic also works like a muscle–the more she uses it, the stronger and easier it gets.[/indent]
[color=cc99c7][b]STRENGTHS[/b][/color]
[indent]+ The more she practices, the stronger her magic gets. Through research, she’s capable of–but not limited to–things like brewing potions and charming jewelry limited mostly by the imagination.
+ She’s conscious of what she eats and frequently works out; while she doesn’t focus on strength, she is fit and excels in endurance. Being in good shape allows her magic to grow stronger, too.[/indent]
[color=cc99c7][b]WEAKNESSES[/b][/color][indent]- She might be a witch, but her body is fundamentally human and she bleeds just like everyone else. Her magic is affected by her state of mind and body, as well, so being sick or severely injured will weaken her. 
- In regards to the magic tattoos, if they’re badly damaged or removed the magic will stop working as well.[/indent]
[color=cc99c7][b]BIO[/b][/color]
[indent]Magic has run in her family for a long time, though the farthest back she remembers is her grandfather who was particularly powerful. He taught her the magic she knows now growing up since his next in line–her father–wasn’t around to do so. While he raised her in magic, her mother raised her in a normal life. In high school, she attempted her first original spell to help her through Latin class: her “carpe noctem” tattoo–and it got her addicted to both tattoos and magic. 

- A particularly romantic Valentines Day led to a teen pregnancy with her first boyfriend. She had planned to raise it with him, but when he died she put the baby up for adoption instead (1996). Then she dropped out of high school to become a tattoo artist. Neither her grandfather nor mother were very happy, but they tried to be supportive due to the tragic loss.

- Grandfather passed soon after, leaving her alone to continue her studies in magic. He left her the ring bonded to Nox and a leather bound journal filled with his personal research.

- She met an immortal woman named Candy in her early twenties when she was just finishing up her apprenticeship and parted ways just as she started her own tattoo parlor. Meeting Candy inspired her to look into achieving immortality after her mother passed away.

- She created a tattoo–the tree of life–that leeches off the life of others who she gives tattoos to and it has slowed down her aging (she ages about ¼-1/3 slower than a normal human). The more people she tattoos, the longer she’ll live. However, she still can’t live forever and she’s still trying to find a solution.

- She owns Ink Shields, a tattoo shop located on the same block as the apartment complex. Due to a witch's ability to easily blend into human life, she has taken on role of a sort of guardian of the comedian. She offers her magic in spellweaving the illusions and the like that help keep humans away from the apartment and its inhabitants, for example. [/indent]
[color=cc99c7][b]OTHER[/b][/color][indent]Has a magical cat named Nox: his fur is made up of various shades of grey and black and his eyes are a bright yellow. He’s a demon bound to her family line via a yellow spinel ring she wears, and he can transform into a large panther-like feline in order to protect the ring’s wearer. The ring allows her to communicate telepathically with Nox and summon him no matter where she is, though it does take some effort.[/indent]
