But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway[/sub][/color][/i]

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
Kota, upon first glance, is easily approachable. Her skin is fair but quite healthy, and her hair, a soft, light brown in color, is often left unkempt and tangly, normally at shoulder-length. She has curious, deer-like cocoa eyes framed with short, brown lashes. Kota's face shape is a rugged oval and her nose is buttony. She has a multitude of scars across her figure, from falls and scrapes, most of which she couldn't remember, though she does have one big one on her right elbow from falling down an actual cliff (she has a fun story for that one). She isn't toned, per se, but her build is quite athletic, moreso than your average teen for sure.

When not wearing any sort of witch robes, Kota prefers clothes that are airy and comfortable. She gravitates naturally towards lighter tones, sky and pastel blues, and her preferred attire would just be a t-shirt and sweats, though she does have other clothes in her wardrobe that she likes. She greatly prefers sneakers and is very wobbly on heels. She has a fairly discreet nose piercing.
[color=SkyBlue][sub]Height: 5'4"[/sub][/color]
[color=SkyBlue][sub]Weight: 128 lbs[/sub][/color]

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
Kota is carefree by nature, a girl that enjoys going wherever that wind will take her. She's very flighty and whimsical, with a short attention span and a difficulty in finding a genuine center in life. Kota, instead of being bogged down in responsibilities, enjoys having fun and is a natural thrill-seeker. She loves the feeling of adrenaline coursing through her veins and is overall a very zealously mirthful girl. She's a fast-talker and intensely high-spirited, and she enjoys bringing others along for the ride with her. She has a disdain for authority, preferring to operate by her own rules, and she doesn't like being dragged down by others that want to put a limit on her. Kota simply enjoys being free and unrestrained, and she lives her whole life like that. Her mantra is "you only live once," and she intends on making this life her best one.

Kota is quite an airhead, and is notoriously very forgetful and absent-minded. She’s rather klutzy and has a habit of getting herself into very sticky situations. That being said, though, Kota is also rather clever and is surprisingly wily and resourceful. She is very apt at using her surroundings and resources to her advantage and is a quick thinker.

By nature, Kota is an extrovert, and those who know her know that she is a very caring, loving and nurturing person. However, she doesn’t always come off this way. She’s a passionate tease (though she doesn’t always reciprocate the jokes well) and can often seem a bit mean. At heart, though, she doesn’t intend to cause any acrimony. She values her friendships a lot and would do a lot to keep them intact. 

Kota, at her core, may be very carefree, but on the rare occasion she finds a concept or an ideal that she finds attractive, she can latch onto it very strongly and become very loyal to that idea. This (hopefully, at any rate) is what she sees in the Coven- an opportunity to grow her abilities and use them to protect the material world. Hopefully, she can also have a blast while doing it.

[i][color=SkyBlue][sub]I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Biography[/u][/b][/color]
Kota’s family history is rooted in the Americas. From her father’s side, she gets a fraction of Cherokee ancestry, and on her maternal side she’s been related to Charity Johnson, a female aviator and member of the Ninety-Nines, an organization by Amelia Earhart that was founded to help recruit female aviators. True to this ancestry, Kota has always enjoyed the feeling of flight, the ability to be midair and feel the wind flowing through her hair. The union between the two families, though, was not quite as solid. A drunken one-night stand led to a very unhappy, failing marriage, and eventually Kota’s mom left Kota’s life, moving away to try and start anew, and leaving her father to raise the young girl of 3. 

Kota’s paternal grandmother was the one that first became associated with the Sisters of the Dying Branch, and that innate magical gift has been passed down to the young witchling. Kota’s life was a relatively normal one. She went to normal school, struggling through regular classes like the average teen girl, and she played a few sports, though her heart lied beyond that. At night, away from prying eyes, Kota’s father taught her the art of magic, something which fascinated Kota. She grew versed in several different branches of magic, but her strongest and most passionate field of study by far was the sacred power of flight. Night after night, Kota went out to learn how to fly. She found that while she could get a few feet off the ground and zip around a little on her own, it was much more effective (and much less taxing) to utilize some type of enchanted vehicle. The most witch-like choice was the broomstick, but she found that her family didn’t have any that were any good. She tried using a Swiffer a few times but found that it didn’t really work well either. It was a fateful birthday when she found Blue Jay- a cool snowboard. The snowboard was supposed to be for a vacation trip, but it instead became Kota’s go-to flying apparatus. She got pretty good at flight too, though flying has ended up with her in a few awkward situations, to say the least.

Now at an older age and with a good deal of magical experience, Kota has prepared to join the Coven. She finds the Coven quite fascinating and wishes to carry on a legacy of using magic to do good in the world and make a change. Though her blithe, airy nature often clashes with Coven authorities, Kota is wise enough to follow the rules enough to keep her in the organization, knowing that this Coven is definitely something she wants to be a part of. 

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Notable Rumors[/u][/b][/color]
1. That Kota once huffed paint as a dare during 9th grade art. 
[color=SkyBlue][sub]She did not.[/sub][/color]

2. That Kota once got stuck, helpless, in a tree for 4 hours after a flying experiment gone wrong. 
[color=SkyBlue][sub]This, on the other hand, did happen.[/sub][/color]

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Greatest Fear[/u][/b][/color]
Claustrophobia
[color=SkyBlue][sub]Kota’s worst fear for sure is being locked in a small space. Kota thrives on the outdoors and the feeling of being adrift in the air, liberated, so the idea being confined in a small area terrifies her.[/sub][/color]

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Magic[/u][/b][/color]
Kota, overall, is a talented witch that has a firm grasp of magical abilities as a whole, though she has a great deal of talent in some areas and a great lack of talent in others. 

[color=SkyBlue][i]Strong Suit: Flight[/i][/color]
Kota is a prodigal pilot and is a highly capable and highly comfortable being midair. Years of dedicated practice has given her the ability to maintain airtime for extended periods of time using her trusty snowboard Blue Jay. She can soar midair for a good period of time with her “airboard” and has boasted that she can fly with any item (not true, but she’ll try). She can also fly without an apparatus, but this is very draining and dangerous, so when without her board, she tends to just focus on levitation a few feet above the ground, which she often does just to brag. While midair, Kota has a wide abundance of tricks and talents that she can do and will often show-off with. Kota has to take great caution, though, of her remaining magic in the tank, as running out of magic mid-air can be very costly for her.

Replace the dragon decal with a bird decal. The board is wrapped in a few spots with tape. 
[/hider]

[color=SkyBlue][i]Strong Suit: Wind Magic[/i][/color]
Kota’s other area of familiarity is with Wind Magic. Kota is talented in creating strong gusts of wind with her magical abilities. Normally, this field is generally reserved for passing the salt shaker across the table and softening some of Kota’s often-rough landings, but greater studies can hopefully yield stronger results. 

[color=SkyBlue][i]Neutral: Healing Magic[/i][/color]
While not a strong suit, Kota is capable of performing some basic healing magics to quickly seal up small wounds and do basic first aid, but is not well-versed in the area by any means. 

[color=SkyBlue][i]Weak Suit: Potions[/i][/color]
To Kota, potions is basically “magic chemistry.” She got a D+ in chemistry, and those feelings apply to potions. 

[color=SkyBlue][i]Weak Suit: Other Elemental Magic[/i][/color]
She tried using fire once. It ended very badly. She hasn’t tried since. 

[color=SkyBlue][b][u]Other[/u][/b][/color]
[color=SkyBlue]Pet:[/color] Some witches take pride in their familiars, and Kota is no exception, though her familiar is a bit...unique. While others boast cats, perhaps dogs, and the sort, Kota’s familiar is a domesticated ferret named Astro that is the only creature on Planet Earth that is more playful than Kota. Astro’s favorite game is “how far can I get with Kota’s wallet” and his favorite food are other people’s fingers.

[/i][/b][/h2][color=SkyBlue][i]The hard-covered maroon book, kept under a golden lock and key, is filled with doodles of various flying objects- clouds, birds, planes, helicopters, broomsticks, snowboards, and, oddly enough, a couple ferrets. Most of the book is waffle: unmindful retellings of the day's events. However, a couple pages in the back are cordoned off from the rest.

The book's pages are filled with notes about Dakota's various coven mates, scrawled in Dakota's messy, slanted handwriting. The volume of ink on these pages compared to the others is telltale evidence of the effort that went into these thoughts.[/i][/color]

[i]Dakota considers Calypso a good friend, and assumes that the sentiment is reciprocated. Dakota has a very solid relationship with Calypso- they have very similar wavelengths, after all, and their personalities mesh very well. Of all the people in the Coven, Dakota would consider herself closest with Calypso. [/i]

[i]Dakota likes Iris, and she finds her quirky, offbeat, aloof nature strangely charming.

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Name[/u][/b][/color]
Jean-Luc Baptiste Laguerre
[color=DarkMagenta][i]Generally referred to as "Jean-Luc" in full, but he won't complain if he's referred to by a nickname.[/i][/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Gender[/u][/b][/color]
Male

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Age[/u][/b][/color]
18

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Birthday[/u][/b][/color]
11/30

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Sexuality[/u][/b][/color]
Pomosexual

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
Jean-Luc has an appearance that looks distant and cold. He's tall and lean, not quite buff but not very thin, with a developed musculature packed into a slightly hunched figure. One of his most notable physical characteristics is his skin, which has a dark, ebony hue to it, with a few areas of lighter coloration present on his knees and hands, where he's had some scrapes and scars in the past. He wears a stern, serious face most of the time, and in general doesn't come across as a very 'happy' person. Smiles are rare for him. He has very deep, dark brown eyes, watchful and inquisitive, and wide protruding lips. 

His color scheme is mostly shades of black and violet, with white colors worn sparsely. While he does gravitate towards nicer clothes, his wardrobe is a mix of many different styles, some formal and some less so. He does make an effort to make himself look presentable at all times, but his clothing isn't always highly dressy. Jean-Luc tends to wear necklaces quite often, normally dangling a couple around his neck. 

Jean-Luc has a noticeable Haitian accent, not overbearing or strong enough to make him hard to understand, but it is certainly present in his speech. It's been described as almost soothing in a way. 
[color=DarkMagenta]Height: 6'2"[/color]
[color=DarkMagenta]Weight: 166 lbs[/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
If Jean-Luc could be described in one word, it would be 'intense.' Jean-Luc is a serious, focused, and dedicated person, the type that rarely cracks a smile and can keep a straight face throughout some of the funniest of moments. Jean-Luc is grave and somber, collected in his thoughts and ever the cool type, detached and pensive. He much prefers the atmosphere that silence brings about rather than raucous laughter and discussion. That's not to say that Jean-Luc is antisocial; he's certainly capable of holding a conversation and quite enjoys one-on-one discussion, but is the type to shy away from larger crowds, parties, and large gatherings. He doesn't enjoy living alone, but seeks companionship over large assemblies of acquaintances. 

That's not to say that Jean-Luc is always the best of companions. It depends on what you're looking for in a friend. Jean-Luc is brutally honest, blunt, and often overly harsh in his critiques. He comes off easily as very candid and almost rude, offering his own direct truths as opposed to watered-down euphemisms and compliments. He does this out of a place of caring- he believes that having strength and growing is a crucial trait, especially for the witchlings of the coven, but his 'advice' can often be disagreeable, especially to those who aren't asking for it in the first place. Jean-Luc is certainly capable of taking what he receives, and he's almost immune to negative comments, with any attempt at an insult bouncing off of him harmlessly, but he gives off an aura of authority, if not superiority. Jean-Luc, simply put, acts like an adult in a room full of children, even if he's in a room of his peers or other adults. In all due fairness to him, Jean-Luc is very sagacious and shrewd, and his advice is often rather wise, but his delivery is often unfiltered and hence rather jarring. It can take some type to get accustomed to him.

Jean-Luc, at heart, is a surprisingly loving person to those that know him. He is extremely honest and has a very high integrity, and is also a very loyal and brave person. He's not foolishly courageous, and is sometimes too clever for his own good, but he's loyal and dauntless in his actions. To see him taken aback is as rare as to see him smile, which is indeed something very rare indeed to see.

To those he dislikes, though, beware, because Jean-Luc's moral compass is often a few clicks off from what would be considered normal, and he's willing to go to lengths to punish people that he believe deserve it. He's more than willing to teach people a lesson on his own accord, and his powers can be very scary. Jean-Luc is a great friend and a surprisingly caring person once you get to know him, but [i]God[/i] is he a terrible enemy to have.  

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Biography[/u][/b][/color]
Jean-Luc was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to two capable witches in the region. Though Jean-Luc strongly identifies with Haitian culture, language, and customs, his memories of actually living in the nation of Haiti itself are few. His family left Haiti when Jean-Luc was a toddler, migrating to Raleigh in North Carolina and moving up further north later on. Jean-Luc's parents were dedicated and hard-working, and they always put their children first. While the family at first had nothing, Jean-Luc's father opened up a small Caribbean restaurant with a friend that later turned into a small chain, able to provide a more-than-suitable living for the young family. Jean-Luc was able to experience the American Dream firsthand, and was able to tangibly feel a rise from relative poverty to relative wealth. 

Of course, Jean-Luc's parents are not only chefs and businesspeople. The Laguerre family has had a long history of witches in it of itself, with both paternal and maternal family trees tracing back through generations of spectacular magicians, and Jean-Luc was no different. He was closely embroiled in the Coven activities from an early age, learning magic fervently and becoming highly dedicated to its practice. While his parents balanced Coven activities with active work and social lives, Jean-Luc had tunnel-vision to become a powerful witch. Recesses for him were spent reading and practicing in secret, free time allocated to his studies of various forms of magic and curses. His skills grew rapidly, at the cost of living a normal life. Sure, he went to school and he had some friends, but he was always the quiet kid in the corner, the weird kid.

As he approaches time to join the Coven, Jean-Luc is ecstatic to be a part of the group, though, as usual, he won't ever show it. 

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Notable Rumors[/u][/b][/color]
That Jean-Luc once used a curse to kill a boyfriend that cheated on him.
[color=DarkMagenta][i]He most definitely did not kill anybody, but there may have been some curses placed and some form of damage done.[/i][/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Greatest Fear[/u][/b][/color]
Cynophobia (Fear of dogs)
[color=DarkMagenta][i]Jean-Luc was bitten when he was 6, and while he isn't deathly scared of the animals, he will gladly move away from them if they get near him.[/i][/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Magic[/u][/b][/color]
Jean-Luc is a highly skilled young witchling that would, for the most part, be considered a generalist. He has some areas of magic that seems to be more focused, however, and some areas that are weaker. 

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Specialty: Curses[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc's parents were both prodigies in this field, and Jean-Luc has learned how to place curses on individuals with phenomenal results. Jean-Luc is able to put minor curses on individuals without much difficulty, able to cause targets to stub their toe on their bedframe or trip over a twig and hurt themselves, nothing significant or long-lasting. For repercussions that are significant, however, Jean-Luc would have to apply a much more significant sacrifice to make the curse effective. Though requiring sacrifice, these higher-level curses can have a very destructive effect on a person that can slowly (or quickly) rip apart their lives. Jean-Luc only has a theoretical understanding of these more destructive curses, though. Jean-Luc's two strongest weapons in his arsenals are causing wounds to become unhealing for long periods of time (the [color=DarkMagenta]"yon blesi ki pap geri"[/color] or "unhealing wound" is in theory supposed to be eternal, but Jean-Luc is nowhere near that level of severity) and causing severe relationship damage to the people the afflicted person cares about. Jean-Luc has never used this curses yet, due to the legality of them along with the sacrifice necessary, but has a good understanding on how to cast them should he ever need to. 

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Specialty: Soulbonding[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc's other unique talent is the ability to link a mortal being with an object and exercise limited manipulation of that target. Jean-Luc, through using a piece of the afflicted's body (such as hair, a tooth, anything really) or a possession of sentimental value, is able to link either another person or an inanimate object, like a doll, to the afflicted. From there, Jean-Luc can use magic to cause a sort of sympathetic link that will cause the afflicted to move and feel what the linked object (person or thing) is doing. To maintain this link for long periods of time requires a great deal of magical energy and sacrifice, especially when linking two people together. Jean-Luc would traditionally do this type of magic with a sort of voodoo doll or poppet, though he will be quick to point out that the conception of voodoo dolls being linked to Haitian Vodou is perpetuated by Western stereotypes. Still, it's a pretty awesome and terrifying magic to see in practice. 

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Minor Specialty: Potions[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc is fairly skilled at making potions. It's not exactly one of his strongest suits, but he's fairly adept at doing so and is overall capable of making a good chunk of potions. 

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Minor Specialty: Charms[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc is fairly skilled at creating and using charms as well. They aren't as effective as his curses are, of course, but Jean-Luc is still able to successfully create and use them on a fairly high level. 

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Weakness: Elemental[/i][/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][i]Weakness: Healing Magic[/i][/color]

[color=DarkMagenta][b][u]Other[/u][/b][/color]
[color=DarkMagenta]Familiar:[/color] Jean-Luc's lovely familiar is as far from fluffy as possible. Namely, it's a Central American boa constrictor named Ghede, a lazy and often moody snake of over 6 feet that is named for a renowned Loa of Haitian vodou. Jean-Luc loves reptiles and is quite affectionate of Ghede, though Ghede seems to never return the favor towards Jean-Luc or anybody else, for that matter.

Jean-Luc and Jeremy share an abundance of similarities, most notably an air of gravitas that Jean-Luc respects. Jean-Luc likes competent, respectful people, and Jeremy has that in spades. Jeremy also owns a reptile, which Jean-Luc is a big fan of. Fluffy animals are great and all, but they're very overrated.

[color=B90EB9][i]"He's...far too gregarious. He brings way too much brightness into the equation. Still, he is a respectable person with solid decorum, and I suppose he's grown on me a little."[/i][/color]
Though it sometimes pains Jean-Luc to admit, Charlie has grown a bit on him since they started rooming together. He still finds his peppiness and Watford obsession irritating, but Jean-Luc respects Charlie's formality and maturity. They haven't exactly delved into friendship territory yet, but as of recently Jean-Luc would admit that their relationship has grown somewhat.

♨️ [b][color=B90EB9]Calypso Barnes & Dakota Lawson[/color][/b] ♨️
[color=B90EB9][i]"They're such teenagers. They seem like if they had a choice between Starbucks and heaven, they'd choose Starbucks."[/i][/color]

Jean-Luc doesn't hold any animosity towards either of them, but finds that they're eerily...normal, for witches, at least. They give off an air of your average teenage girl, something that Jean-Luc thinks will inhibit their talents at magic. He thinks Dakota is too immature to be a witch, and that Calypso, with her fear of blood, isn't cut out for the job.

[color=B90EB9][i]"Weird."[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc thinks she's...weird. Off. Coming from [i]him,[/i] that's certainly something.

🌓 [b][color=B90EB9]Summer Abernathy[/color][/b] 🌓
[color=B90EB9][i]"Mixed feelings. On one hand, she seems...very manipulative. Sneaky. Something I dislike, on principle. ON the other hand, she is certainly very accomplished and very poised, and her magic is something to be feared."[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc doesn't have a strong dislike or respect for Summer. He finds her personality to often be a bit deceitful, which is something that Jean-Luc dislikes overall in people, but at the same time, he thinks that she's certainly talented and respectable, and has a great deal of interest and respect in her magic.

👋 [b][color=B90EB9]Maggie Wilson[/color][/b] 👋
[color=B90EB9][i]"She seems nice. Very studious, intelligent, and well-read. Something that I can respect, for sure."[/i][/color]
Jean-Luc has a great deal of respect for his fellow bookworm, and while the two haven't spoken much in the past (likely because they've both been absorbed in books), Jean-Luc would consider himself to be on good terms with her. He also has never been particularly harsh to her, despite his penchant for never sugar-coating anything, and seems to be awfully protective. What does that mean? Who knows? Jean-Luc certainly won't tell on the subject.
