[hider=Hawthorn]
Name: Beauchamp, Amelia. 

Known Aliases: Hawthorn, Elizabeth. Brekker, Katherine. 

Age: 247? 

Appearance: Black hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Inmate Beauchamp stands 6 ft three inches tall. Nails have been trimmed by staff but somehow manage to grow to sharpened lengths within minutes. Inmate Beauchamp has tattoos across her body in the form of rose studded wines up her arms, chest, abdomen and back. Right hand sports a symbol of an eye crossed out with crude black ink. No scarring save the name Nathaniel branded into the flesh of above her collar bone. 

Psyche Profile: Inmate Beauchamp, Amelia appears to suffer Narcissistic personality disorder at first glance being arrogant and seemingly feels herself (and women in general) superior to “unnecessarily emotional males.” Careful study of the inmate in how she interacts with the rest of the populous and staff have brought forth the hypothesis that Inmate Beauchamp in fact suffers from Androphobia. This condition is kept under tight wrap by Inmate Beauchamp’s severe control over her emotions and impulses (Note: doctor theorizes this is because of her age and experience). While the guards would call her “mouthy” and “a bitch” Inmate Beauchamp has shown to be a model inmate, never doing anything outside of the rules of the compound beyond voicing her own thoughts and grievances with staff. Inmate Beauchamp has also seemed to taken a motherly position in her block among the female inmates and has more than once been found to comfort her fellow inmates. However, one incident with staff showed she has a hero complex when her fellow inmates are concerned when one of the guards became more “enthusiastic” in his direction of another female Inmate. She reportedly beat the guard until staff managed to pull her off him and place her in restraints. Beyond this incident and her reported “mouthyness” Inmate Beauchamp will treat male security staff with respect if she is done the same.   

In the rare chance Inmate Beauchamp interacts with male inmates however, she is openly hostile bordering on disdain for male inmates. It is advised by staff to not let Inmate Beauchamp interact with male inmates unless absolutely necessary as Inmate Beauchamp has taken these chances to hex them. Inmate Beauchamp has remained tight lipped to psyche staff and her behaviors and tendencies only able to be recorded by observation. The inmate showed great distrust to psyche staff. It wasn’t until consulting fellow psychologists with a background in historical study of the 18th century that Inmate’s age could even be guessed at. She exhibits the psychological profile of a women from that time period and even uses words, and phrases of the time. Our consultant was eager to interview her and found his theory to be true and even managed to get Beauchamp to open up about her life. 

Background: Inmate Beauchamp was apprehended and brought to the facility by Oculus, an organization dedicated to perceiving and detaining threats of an arcane nature. Thus far little is known of Inmate Beauchamp as she has remained tight lipped of her background and history. What is known was collected by a consultant and what was given by Oculus. 

Inmate Beauchamp was apprehended on charges of terrorism within the magical community having detonated “hex bombs” of various natures in various historical communes and churches. These rnaged from bloodletting curses, insanity curses, and even one that made those affeacted with to begin eating themselves. (The pictures were a grim thing to see). Inmate Beauchamp appeared to be trying to dismantle the current arcane regime, siting wrongs done to herself and those her persuasion. Inmate Beauchamp appears to be a practitioner of the Strange Art, a branch of magic that focuses on deal with eldritch beings for power and knowledge, black alchemy, necromancy, etc. While not illegal within the arcane community (though necromancy is highly regulated) during her time such practitioners as Inmate beauchamp were vilified and hunted for the nature of their magic. This alongside what our consultant gleamed showed Amelia Beauchamp, at the time going by the alias Elizabeth Hawthorn, was the thought dead Baroness Beauchamp in Mercedes, France. 

The Museum of Paris sent over bundles of letters marked with her name, to and from. What was gleamed was that Inmate Beauchamp had been forced into an abusive, controlling marriage to the forty year old Baron Villamore at the age of thirteen. Unable to continue her education from her mother, the newly dubbed Baronness Villamore gave birth to several stillbirths before the Baron began planning her death so she could marry another girl to continue his line. Inmate Beauchamp then poisoned him and fled before she could be apprehended and tried for murder. 

She would vanish but only resurface forty years later under the alias Elizabeth Hawthorn and tried for strange witchcraft by the mage community in Europe. She would be burned then buried only for her grave to be found empty. Authorities at the time believed grave robbers afoot. The following centuries and a half Inmate Beauchamp would resurface with her Hawthorn alias in various anti-mage groups against other associations as the European Mage’s Association, the American Arcane Council and even the Kanto and Kansai Associations.    
Caught and tried on charges of terrorism, mass murder, and serial killings over the last century, she was routed to Thornwood for optimal containment.  

Skills, Talents and Learning: A versatile linguist knowing over thirty languages and dialects, Inmate Beauchamp has been used as a translator for staff on multiple occasions. Skilled at dancing such as traditional ballroom to ballet. Inmate Beauchamp had a formal education that continued to the modern day with her interests residing in philosophy, literature, and history. During one incident with an inmate attempting to assault Inmate Beauchamp she was found to have talent in knife-fighting and traditional boxing.  

Power(s) and Capabilities: Inmate Beauchamp is capable of the Strange Art. The Strange Art as determined by Oculus is a sort of magic that requires communion with spirits, deals with otherworldly beings (angels, demons, eldritch, etc) and the additional use of black alchemy (alchemy that requires to use of bones, blood, or other parts and pieces from any sentient creature) whose power waxes and wanes with the lunar cycles. Inmate Beauchamp appears to have skill in plant based magic (growing, controlling, etc), and hexes. These hexes are fixed in strength by preparation, the lunar cycle, and Beauchamp’s own communion with spirits. At Inmate Beauchamp’s own admission she can more readily commune with and draw spirits associated with decay, transformation, and growth no matter the state and for a small pittance, determined by the spirit or Inmate Beauchamp. 
To commune with otherworldly beings however requires strict ritual and preparation and Beauchamp as recorded by Oculus has made deals with the eldritch beings between the veils. These deals include effective agelessness, physical conditioning on par with world class athletes, and the ability to perceive magic and spirits as though physical things. 

Inmate Beauchamp’s hexes are a broad term for the effects she can bring about by communing with spirits or for one time contracts with otherworldly beings. Hexes done through communion with spirits are confined to the strength or number of the spirit in question. Naturally Inmate Beauchamp can at most call upon spirits one or two at a time at will. Any more than that require a physical manifestation of what the spirit represents (such as a dead body for decay, or caterpillars for transformation). Named spirits, the only true intelligent spirts such as the four winds or the Ferryman can be summoned let loose, but often at great cost and without fine control from the caller. One time contracts with eldritch beings are more powerful and easier to control but require more sacrifice by the dealmaker and more time to set up. Inmate Beauchamp’s most dangerous hex via this method was when she forced an entire three story building of partygoers to begin eating each other.  

Inmate Beauchamp’s black alchemy is another beast as this is confined only by the materials she can gather: certain flowers, plants, and even organic matter such as human flesh, bone, the flesh, bones, and hairs of animals. The draughts and powders she can create require sn application of ambient magic that again waxes and wanes with the witch’s power.   

Power Limits: Inmate Beauchamp can only call one spirits when the moon is actively waxing or waning to her person at will and hexes or effects from them are only done if Beauchamp keeps their deal, be it something the spirit may want. If she doesn’t hold up her end of the bargain she can be harmed depending on the spirit she summons, punished. More than one spirit of a certain type need a physical manifestation of what they represent as stated above or when Inmate Beauchamp has access to a new moon. Beauchamp refuses to summon named spirits and is actually terrified of the Ferryman. She requires ambient magic to call out to these spirits however. 
Magical contracts with otherworldly beings require a summoning circle done in the essence of the summoner (usually archival ink prepared by the summoner), a sacrifice, and the contract. The summonings success can often hinge on the sacrifice. When dealing with demons humans that could be considered “good” or that of angels work best, demons and humans that could be considered “bad” work when calling upon angels. The eldritch respond of their own whims, but often sacrificing a demon and an angel has the highest rate of success. The contract is essentially what the summoner wants and the offer of the sacrifice can often be supplemented by another prize such as knowledge or even the summoner’s own life force. Once the deal is strut both parties are bound to the contract and cannot break it, no matter their desire. However, they will adhere to the wording fo the contract not its spirit and if left vague, the being will do what they want within that guideline and not necessarily what you wanted.  

Inmate Beauchamp’s black alchemy is confined by her ability to gather ingredients for them and the power she can bring to bear at the time and some final results are also confined by celestial events and cycles. (Her favorite is preparing powdered rat bones during a full moon to harden the flesh on her knuckles like stone when dusted with it.)    

Known Vulnerabilities: Inmate Beauchamp’s magic is confined by the lunar cycle. As said before she can summon a spirit when the moon is actively waxing or waning, but on the full moon she is utterly powerless in this regard and has no perceivable ambient magic thus being unable to call upon spirits. Using a Void Stone (special gems prepared by mages that repel spirits) are the best way to stop her communion in its tracks altogether. 

Motives: Inmate Beauchamp is motivated by a deep seated sense of seeing the mages of the modern world pay. She for reasons of past wrongs has a grievance against the organized mage societies and as such wants to see them dismantled and brought to chaos, as her attacks and mass hexes have either affected areas of historical or tactical importance, or caused the deaths of important figures in these societies. It is a certain that upon escaping, Inmate Beauchamp will resume her crusade against the world’s various organized mage communities. 

Recommended Containment Procedures: Inmate Beauchamp’s cell requires instillation of void stones on the walls and floor and while at recreation or in the common room, require the inmate to wear a void stone attached to a fixed bracer on her arm like a cuff. Simply restricting Inmate Beauchamp from alchemical mediums and performing regular (daily) cell searches of Inmate Beauchamp’s room will dissuade and halt any attempts at summoning.    

Notes: It is advised that female guard staff have the best report with Inmate Beauchamp. Has been given special permission to act as a translator for Security Staff in female blocks. Inmate Beauchamp was quite livid when psyche staff revealed they knew of her past and that they wished to discuss her difficult time at the hands of Baron Villamore. She even threatened to burn psyche staff and the consultant with “those damned letters” once she was free. Inmate Beauchamp then sulked for weeks, much to Security Staff’s amusement.
