Right! Hopefully I didn't fudge things up too much. If I need to change anything, do tell.

[b]Name:[/b]
Charlotte LaChance

[b]Race:[/b]
Human (mostly)

[b]Age:[/b]
17

Year at Academy:
2

[b]Gender:[/b]
Female

[b]Appearance:[/b]
Charlotte is one that many people might find quite attractive, much to her own chagrin as she's not one that desires such attentions from people. She stands at roughly five foot six, with short cut brown hair and and an almost flawless and healthy complexion. Her eyes are a deep brown color, and a typically she carries herself upright, with an almost arrogant and proud seeming stature. Typically she wears a blue, white, and black dress that one might find a bit odd to wear in normal times. It has a shoulder cape and hood to help protect one from the elements, and her hands gloves.

At her side one can find a belt on which hangs a rather hefty looking tome. Inside is scribbled various incantations, rituals, and other things pertaining to spirits of various sorts.

In all, one might assume she's from a well-off high class family...they would be sorely mistaken.

She has an odd [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/53/49/89/534989e4f5829c1b18f1860b06f8e599.jpg]symbol[/url] that seems tattooed into her skin on her forehead, a symbol of the contract she has with her Spirit.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Insatiable curiosity, confident, stubborn, doesn't like not getting her way, and an incredibly driven individual...and 100% pure grump. She wants to be the best, and always strives for excellency in all aspects. Some might call her a bit uptight because of this, and indeed that might be true. She doesn't see the value in those who squander any amount of time or talent by being lazy or otherwise incompetent. Despite this, as long as you don't interrupt her studies she's fairly amicable. Just expect her to throw snark and insults your way if you get in her way or mess something up she's working on.

[b]Skills, Talents, Specialties: [/b]
[b]Magic:[/b] 
[hider=Dimensional Summoning, Spirit Contract]
Simply put, Charlotte is quite in tune with the spiritual forces of the world. Creatures that initially have no corporeal form, or possibly those creatures such as Naiads, Dryads, Salamanders or Sylphs, she can usually communicate with on some level.

Contracting a spirit requires the contractor to make a deal with the spirit, for whatever reason. Upon completion of the terms of the contract, the spirit begins living 'with' the mage, typically they start sharing a body, and their power is easily summoned by the mage. The contents of the contract can be anything the spirit or mage desire, but one has to of course, be careful especially when dealing with some not so nicely inclined spirits. One could get a bad deal quite often.

A few other downsides are that some spirits, are just difficult to control. Great care must be taken not to loose oneself to the spirit, and some such as fire spirits are inherently more difficult to control than others. Plus, there's always a chance a spirit could forcibly posses a user against their will if something were to happen.

[b]Current spirits:[/b]
Minthe, a water Naiad. Their contract is simple. Minthe is to protect Charlotte, and Charlotte is to...keep Minthe happy. Whatever that entails. At her current level of mastery with the water spirit, Charlotte is able to use rudimentary water based elemental magics, and if she wishes to exhaust most of her magic and summon Minthe directly she is able to after an incantation, and at great cost to her reserves of stamina and magic.

She seeks to possibly contract more spirits in the long run, but she still needs more mastery over Minthe before she is able to even consider such a thing. Not to mention, finding them in their realms or attempting to summon them directly and then forming the contract are both equally as dangerous.

[b]Other skills:[/b]
Charlotte is with some difficulty, able to understand elementals and other assortments of spirits. Even those that aren't able to typically talk, such as Salamanders and other non-human spirits.

[b]History:[/b]
Charlotte is from an incredibly old family that has been into magic and the occult for ages. It is said that in the old days of the Roman Empire, her family started its origins when a man fell in love with a water Nymph and bore children. The children were excellent mages, philosophers and thinkers of their time and were considered to be quite powerful sages and wise men, not to mention they held the extreme beauty of the nymph. Of course, over time, such blood and talent has been diluted to almost be nonexistent.

Of course, today this family is fairly nonexistent, save for a small branch living in Central Europe that aren't even aware of their families origins. They, were simple farmers and this is where Charlotte was born. A simple farm girl who loved helping out her parents on the farm, reading, writing, and exploring the back woods near her home.

It was on one of these little exploration excursions, she stumbled across Minthe...who was bathing in a river...Of course, most people might either find that odd or off putting, but Charlotte was only incredibly curious by this creature and felt oddly drawn to her. After some time Minthe allowed herself to be contracted with a simple contract and started teaching Charlotte how to control magic, how to speak with spirits and about the world of magic.

Not all that long later, she received an invitation to Acadia.


Relationships: 
Mother and father, though she doesn't speak with them much any more. They're on good terms, but Charlotte is just busy.

Minthe: Although Charlotte rarely sees Minthe these days as it takes considerable effort for her to travel between planes without Charlotte's help via summoning, the two are fairly close.
