[indent]Wren's Magic has flowed unto her through generations of her Maternal Bloodline. Exact knowledge of how far into the family history her powers are rooted has been lost; Robin herself has only been able to commune so far back as her Great-Great-Grandmother. What is firmly known is that the cascading of Magika through generations is a full-out passing of power, experience, and instinctive knowledge; every daughter born has been more capable than the mother that preceded her. 

What else is known is that this transition of power has always come at a cost. The first and foremost is a long line of succession of only children. The second is the sacrifice of power from one generation to the next: whether by happenstance, a malicious curse, or the machinations of their ancestors, each parent has forfeited their ability to use magic when they’ve carried on the lineage. While left with significant power in their magic, the children of the family line frequently turn to outside influences to properly learn to control their abilities beyond the basics.[/indent]

[indent]At the age of twenty-two, Wren is still riding the ebbs and flows that comes with youth, and prone to the contradictions in character that can define growing up. She is inquisitive and curious, if to the fault of looking too closely into that which need not concern her. Yet in her process she is quick to drift from one thing of interest to another. As a young adult she straddles the line between determination and reckless abandon in the effort to prove her worth. The worries of failure run simultaneously with the stubborn pride and conviction that she is right. She is as subject to the range of human emotion as any other at her age, feeling joys, frustrations, and sorrows to varying degrees. She is no stranger to overreactions, and can be selfish when deeply invested in a goal-oriented pursuit. Even so, there are few lessons that can’t be impressed upon her, even if some may take more time to settle than others. 

Wren, legally named Robin, was born to her mother, Grace Lee, in Newham, in Outer London. Consistent with the familial trend, Grace passed on her Magika to her daughter at the expense of her connection thereto. Wren would grow up in a home with her mother and grandmother. While both had since forfeited their magic, their knowledge of its nature and potential sufficed to educate Wren for a time. However, their lack of ability to perform spellwork would limit how far they could take their young child/grandchild. By the time Wren turned eighteen, she had eclipsed what her family members could teach her. 

For a time, they all resigned to the reality that Wren, as her ancestors passed, would only grow so much. She would dedicate the remainder of her life to maintaining her abilities and the secrecy of magic. 

However, unforeseen circumstances prompted a drastic change in this outlook. 

When Wren was twenty years old, her mother’s health declined, and she began to deteriorate rapidly. Wren invested tremendous efforts and the majority of time and energy to keep her mother tethered to life, in the hopes that either magic, science, or a miracle, could change the fate that seemed inevitable. Research into family history led Wren to the understanding that Grace’s condition was the natural escalation of the magic inheritance. Her mother had given too much in passing on her power, shortening her lifespan; her grandmother corroborated this conclusion, using herself and her own mother as anecdotal evidence. Even so, the condition had manifested much sooner, and developed more quickly than expected; it was supposed to be gradual. 

A year later, Grace passed away, leaving Wren to grapple with the life before her, and questions needing answers. Was her mother’s death an exception? Were there other conditions at play that she hadn’t considered? If it were as it seemed, and she too had a child some day, would she even have time to raise them before the same affliction took hold of her? 

No knowledge held within her childhood home bore a suitable answer to these questions. 

It was her grandmother who posed the solution. The Elders wouldn’t have been pleased with her if they had known it, but it was the only chance she had at saving her granddaughter: she advised Wren to seek out the Corinthia Witch Coven. The Coven had been pushing its luck and the Elders’ patience over the years, advancing the study of Magika, and attempting to raise the art out of the shadows. Perhaps, she posited, training with Corinthia would afford Wren the knowledge and power necessary to break the chain on the ‘family tradition.’ 

Wren departed her home in secrecy (as much as could be achieved), and arrived at the doors of the Corinthia Coven as a new Initiate.[/indent]

[indent]Wren is something of a gray area in her position within the coven. She has a grip on the basics of the magic with which she is endowed, but has come seeking to advance her abilities through a more formal, and group-supported effort. Thus, her position as an initiate is less a matter of her proficiency, and more about her status within the Coven’s hierarchy.[/indent]
