Veronica Edwards

Veronica Edwards "The Portraitist"

---

Veronica Edwards Age: 21 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: As in a picture, Veronica displays an air of poise at all times. She's able to keep a cool head in even the most stressful situations, which is useful for her research into the supernatural, and for holding the team together. As such, she's able to take on a leader role despite her quiet and softspoken nature, or even because of it. However, also as with pictures, sometimes one must ask what the story is beneath the surface. Whether Veronica is hiding more emotion than she lets on, or whether she really is that stoic, nobody knows. She doesn't talk about her own feelings and concerns, her main focus being on the coven.

Interests Photography, paranormal research, reading	Strengths Level-headedness, analysis of situations	Fears Doesn't let on her fears, but one is accomplishing nothing of substance

---

History:

Descended from a long line of researchers into the occult, and entrenched in the era's fascination with such, Veronica discovered true magic at a young age when she met the pixie Claria during a ghost hunt. For years, she tracked down beings just out of human sight, aided by rumours of hauntings and cryptids. Beings that some would call wraiths, shades or demons, and that she recently started referring to as Hydes, given their nature as manifestations of destructive emotion.

The more Hydes swarmed London, the more witches were needed, and Veronica eventually crossed paths with others like her. Her family having been involved with various paranormal groups, she and her friend Sophia created one of their own, a coven of sorts with the latter's home as a headquarters. This gave the magical girls of London - particularly the many new recruits - a way to work as a team, and learn about their abilities and their enemies alike.

Magical Identity

Witch Name The Portraitist ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ As far as magical girl outfits go, Veronica's doesn't stand out that much. Her green and white floral print dress, while fancy, could easily pass as regular clothing, and neither her eyes nor hair change colour. The only strange thing about her appearance is the typical effect of her magic, the large, oval photo frames that float around her. Weapon Delineation ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Like her outfit, the item tied to her magic appears mundane; a camera, superficially a replica of the one she used for ghost hunting.

Pixie Claria ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ As passionate and determined as Veronica is calm and reserved, Claria's strong white glow reflects her nature. A constant source of moral support as well as magical power, this little bundle of zeal reminds Veronica that even when the darkness seems overwhelming, it's a witch's duty to bring light to it. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Claria becomes a cameo hairpin bearing the profile of a pointy-eared girl. The profile is white on a golden brown background, the effect resembling a sepia photograph, surrounded by an ornate gold frame.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Soul Frame
When Veronica focuses Delineation on an enemy, the target takes on a sepia tone, their movements slowing as their energy is gradually drained. At the same time, multiple picture frames appear and float around her, up to four at once. While the target's strength wanes, magical energy builds up within the pictures, in the form of white silhouettes vaguely resembling Claria. The effect is similar to a negative, the irony being that even dark and corrupt energy she drains gets inverted to positive magic.

At any time, she can release these images, ending the weakening effect to attack with damaging energy bursts. The way her power works means she often takes on a support role at the start of a fight, building up attacks to unleash later. The frames can shield her to an extent as she prepares her retaliation, but do not move fast, and can be broken.

Lucilla Crawford

Lucilla Crawford "Ignis Fatuus"

---

Lucilla Crawford Age: 18 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: As far as typical magical girl ideals go, Lucilla knows she isn't a beaming example of them. Hardened in some ways, damaged in others due to her experiences, she's much more cynical than most. Hiding behind an air of cool-headedness and snarky humour, it takes her a while to fully trust someone. Once she does, though, she'll be fiercely loyal, and she looks up to those with strong morals. Having fallen behind somewhat in that aspect, she views them as role models. Even so, she sometimes wonders if it's a case of true admiration or simply wanting to think the best of them. That fear of betrayal doesn't completely leave her.

Interests Music, training, cooking for the hungry, helping others in any way she can	Strengths Wits, survival skills, empathy for those deemed outcasts	Fears Abandonment, becoming homeless again, creating a Hyde, her family or fiance finding her

---

History:

On the surface, life looked good for Lucilla. Born to a wealthy businessman, she spent her childhood days pampered with everything she could want, or so it seemed. She was the one who watched her parents carelessly fritter away their money as the servants raised her in their stead. While she kept her behaviour towards her family respectful, she preferred to spend time with her close friend, Sophia.

Until, that is, everything went more sour than it already had. Her father, on the verge of financial ruin, sought to gain a connection to a certain rich family for support. And what better way to do so than by promising a bride to one of their young men? Lucilla had never liked Sophia's cousin. She liked him even less as, post engagement, his behaviour became increasingly possessive. The bruising grips on her arms, the leers, the whispers that he'd be able to do what he wanted once she was his, all went unnoticed. Even by Sophia, it seemed. As much as Lucilla wanted to reach out, the girl she'd once trusted had become oddly distant. Probably turning a blind eye, wanting to believe her cousin could do no wrong.

Sickened at the hypocrisy all around her, desperate to avoid an abusive marriage, Lucilla fled her home. Living on the streets, she disguised herself as a boy for protection in clothing she'd stolen from her brother, and continued to steal. This led to falling in with other criminals, and before long, "Lucas" took to the occasional foray as an unscrupulous link-boy. She'd guide people through ill-lit parts of the city by candlelight at night, only to pilfer from them as they focused on their surroundings, or lead them into the path of thieves.

One such thief, Elliot, became a good friend over time. Despite his own disadvantaged situation - he'd been fired from a workhouse - he tried to keep those he worked with in decently high spirits. Lucilla saw beneath the facade, noticed his sense of humour grow darker and his eyes emptier, but had no idea just how strongly despair could take hold of him until one night.

She led a traveller into an alleyway where Elliot and others lay in wait, only for the candle to reveal the mangled bodies of her group. Something - somebody - lashed out from nowhere, slashing the traveller's throat with clawed fingers and turning to his next target, Lucilla. For all his twisted features, he was unmistakeably Elliot. Snarling his disgust that he'd fallen in with common crooks, he swiped at her. It was only thanks to survival skills and luck that she evaded him, running for safety, but he quickly closed in. Another being appeared before her, a tiny winged humanoid, offering her a chance to fight back. Out of desperation, she accepted. Eerie purple fire swirled around her, granting her the abilities she needed to take down her attacker.

For a while afterwards, she fought with only the pixie by her side, hunting down such manifestations of negativity before they could merge with their creators. It was during one hunt that she ran into an old friend. Sophia hadn't been ignoring her. She'd simply been focusing on her duties as a magical girl. From Sophia, Lucilla learned of an organisation dedicated to studying magical phenomena, dark and light alike. A group that could help girls like them with their duties, while providing a community for them. She left her shady past behind for a promising future, but that didn't completely quell her fears.

Of all the Hydes out there, were any of her own creation?

Magical Identity

Witch Name Ignis Fatuus ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When she transforms, Lucilla's eyes and hair take on a violet sheen like the spectral fire she uses. Her outfit is a frilled, black formal dress resembling funeral or mourning attire, like a somber version of the finery she used to wear. Weapon Enchantress' Candle ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ The item Lucilla gains upon transforming is not a conventional weapon as such, but a candle burning with a purple flame. She channels her fire powers through this candle.

Pixie Wisp ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Wisp, as her name would suggest, is a tiny, spindly-limbed fairy with indistinct features. Her body appears more like pale lavender tinted mist than flesh, her hair little more than a cloud, her "clothing" energy streams that drift around her. Despite this slight presence, she's a lively, light-hearted prankster, much to Lucilla's annoyance. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A silver ring with an antique tone and a flame-shaped amethyst set into it. As the light reflects off of the gem, it seems to flicker like fire.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Ghostlight
Lucilla's power is similar to the concept of will-o-the-wisps. She can create floating, flaming orbs that entrance enemies for a few moments - the weaker-willed the opponent, the more pronounced the hypnotic effect. Her fire, of course, can also be used offensively in the form of bursts and streams of purple flame. However, this ghost fire will only damage Hydes, and people merged with them. If she were to fight another magical girl, she'd be able to inflict the sensation of burning, but no actual burn.

Alicia Ferdinand

Alicia Ferdinand

Alicia Ferdinand Age: 17 Additional Infos: ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: Her personality at first glance might look somewhat like that of your typical snotty upper class British lady at the time. But make no mistake. She wasn't like that at all in her core. She certainly valued those of the lower class, as long as they behaved decently and properly, of course. She acted cold against others, thanks to the combination of her lonely upbringing, making her unable to have a close social relationship without feeling awkward, and her parents bringing her up to be a "prim and proper" lady, which meant not interacting with the servants unless necessary. She never liked social gatherings like tea parties or balls, finding them terribly superficial and a bore. Secretly however, she also hated them because she kept having these young noble men who would ask her for a dance, which just made her terribly uncomfortable and nervous. And when she started rejecting them, they came on to her even harder, giving her the nickname "The Untouchable Rose". She really couldn't handle flirtations well at all, thinking that they were all genuine and not just in good fun. She had a strong sense of social justice, though she would never fancy herself as a grand philanthropist like many others in her circle did. Anonymously, she had an orphanage built with her shillings, as well as a house for the infirm and sick in her father's land. She despised those with a lax moral compass the most. As much as she loved cleanliness, always taking a bath twice every day, even in winter, she despised those with filthy, impure hearts the most.

Interests Reading, especially those romance novels though she would never admit it Painting Taking walks in her garden	Strengths Stubbornness Determination An analytical mind Does not panic easily	Fears Loneliness Ennui Living a life she does not want

History:

Alicia was born to the Ferdinand nobility, with her father having an ancestral claim to a knight serving Queen Elizabeth The First. However, her father didn't have a seat in the House of Lords, or participating in politics in the slightest. Instead, he was a landowner and a businessman, owning a trading ship to India and Africa.

As you would expect, she wanted nothing in terms of money. However, what she wanted was the attention of her parents, as her mother preferred to spend her time in London being a busy social bee, and her father would frequently go on trips abroad for months on end. She was all alone, only accompanied by her servants whom she wasn't supposed to get close to, being an only child.

She met her pixie when she had her daily stroll through her gardens. She told her that she had watched her help all those people without giving a single credit to herself. Perfect to become a Witch.

She agreed. She figured it would be a good way to both save more people while staving off her boredom at the same time.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Cestinia ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Upon transformation, her hair became longer and her outfit changed completely into an ornate white leotard with an open white-red skirt, allowing her complete mobility in combat. It reminded her of the ornate costume the performers would wear in a fantastical theatre show, especially those worn by the fairies. It was a little embarrassing at first, but she quickly became accostumed to it. Weapon Antinomy ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A sword which blade is swirled like a spring/drill. It could extend at will, allowing greater reach for her melee attack. Intended to be used in a swift and accurate manner.

Pixie Aether ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Like her partner, she is a serious Pixie, always watching over Cestinia, wanting her to grow more and more as a Witch. She would help her in combat, telling her the best approach she should use against the enemy. Outside battle, she almost acts like her surrogate mother/older sister, always reminding her of things she should do and things she must do. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Once Cestinia transformed, she would become the rose adorning her hair. She could give advice freely to her from that position.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Pact with a Holy Beast
Allows Cestinia to summon a small Unicorn Dragon to her stead. She would ride it like a horse, allowing her to fly and increase her speed. It could also do its own attacks, firing off beams of light from its mouth.

'Justicia'

Sophia Marjorie Wright Age: 19 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: At first glance Sophia is poised, calm, mature and have her wits about her. She seems to constantly give off an aura of nobility; standing proud and strong. Although on a deeper level, which is not that hard to find once striking a conversation with her, she is also deeply caring and kind. Selfish to a fault, some in her family would say. Among the desperate crowds of Victorian England, it was said by some that Sophia stands as a ray of sunlight; Pure, Innocent yet strong and with purpose.

History:

Sophia is the eldest child of a prominent Londonian family, the Wrights, who's father is a well known and respected Admiral in the British Royal Navy. As such, Sophia grew up rarely seeing her father as he was most often gone on peace missions to keep the Pax Britannica. Her mother, on the other hand, was always present. She always had been sickly and weak from her youngest years, which was why the couple had rejoiced in noticing that Sophia didn't inherit this condition. Instead, she was a strong child and a strong personality that didn't shy away from saying what she thought and doing what she wanted. Sophia grew up under her mother's tutelage, learning the virtues of kindness and patience, but also inherited her father's strength of character and will to act. Her youngest years were happy and fulfilling - but her mother died suddenly after giving birth to a second child, a younger brother.

Ever the strong one, Sophia did not let the death of her cherished mother change her. If anything, it strengthened the lessons she was taught, as a way to respect her memory. Sophia's father was still rarely there, even less so the first few months and years after the death of his wish. Sophia took on the role of leader of the family's house and tried to raise her little brother, although this task fell mostly on servants and caretakers because she was busy and judged too young.

She only got busier after meeting her Pixie companion only a few months after the tragedy. While taking care of her mother's garden, a creature of seemingly pure light approached her and gave her an opportunity; to give her the means to proactively use her willingness to act and help by giving her the powers to make a difference. It did not take much explanations for Sophia to believe and accept the Pixie's proposition.

Ever since, Sophia fulfilled her new duties as Witch superbly and without fail.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Justicia ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Upon transformation, Justicia's hair changes to an almost pure white with only one strand of golden hair, representing Sol - on top of also becoming very long, following her every movements like a beautiful strand of silk would a veil dancer. Her regalia is mostly blue with lots of golden decorations which changes colours depending on the magics Justicia uses. Weapon ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Justicia's weapon is a blade with the shape of a musical note. The center of it is rounded and offers some protection, behind which is the handle. The seemingly decorative golden engravings along the sword changes colours depending on how Justicia uses her magic.

Pixie Sol ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Just like the Witch she chose to enhance, Sol is poised and strong willed. Unlike Sophia however, Sol has more of a cold calculating personality that favours results over actions taken to get them. The destruction of Pixie's antithesis, Hydes, are Sol's main and most important goal. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Once transformed, Sol most often takes the form of a golden hair brooch in order to be under the sun as often as possible.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Sun's Dance
Justicia's magic seems complicated, but is actually very straightforward. It enhances the Witch in short but potent burst of magics that gravitates around movements, but isn't limited to. The main form the magic takes are the leg armours Justicia gains as she takes her magical form. These allow the user to skate upon any surfaces as if it was ice, allowing for great speed, grace and movement. On top of this, The Witch can tap into her magic to gain short enhancements such as momentum in a straight line, high jumps both horizontally or vertically, skates on vertical surfaces such as walls and others.

The magic has no offensive options apart from the sword itself, which can cut through any and all Hydes encountered thus far. As a result of this, Sol only chooses strong willed individuals that are highly disciplined.

Jacqueline Wild

Jacqueline Wild, Daughter of the Streets

Jacqueline Wild Age: 14 Place of Residence: The Wild Cat Brothel Nickname: Jackie ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: At first glance Jacqueline is a rather kind and cheerful girl, one who always has a smile on her face and is more than happy to help any who ask. She always tries her best to make sure that everyone she meets is a little better for it, be it due to a simple smile or helping them with a problem such as patching up a wound. But beneath this cheer there is a sadness to the girl, an understanding of the conditions that she grew up in and worked to escape. But she refuses to let that sadness consume her and even when the fog hangs heavy in the streets of London she would smile away the darkness, for the sake of those she loves if nothing else.

Interests Medicine Flowers/Herbs Cooking	Strengths Innocent Smile Dexterous Hands Streetwise Agile	Fears Something happening to her adopted family The London Street Gangs Being Alone

History:

There are countless children abandoned on the streets of London, some barely more than babies just left to fend for themselves on those misty streets. Young Jacqueline was one such child, abandoned as a baby on a rubbish heap to die alone in the darkness. That was to be her fate, had not her cries reached the ears of one of the many prostitutes that made a living on those dismal streets.

This woman, Mary Wild, was already struggling to survive herself and by all rights should have left the baby girl there. But as she gazed into the child's eyes the woman couldn't bring herself to do so, instead taking the child with her to the brothel at which she worked. She would name the child Jacqueline Wild and raise her as her own daughter, in fact little Jacqueline would become a sort of daughter for many of the woman at the brothel.

It was in this environment that Jacqueline would grow up, learning many skills such as how to read and write, cook and get stubborn stains out of wooden floorboards. It was a loving childhood, if not an easy one, and the young girl did everything she could to help out her surrogate family, even if she wasn't allowed upstairs during business hours.

When she turned 11 and at the urging of her mother, Jacqueline began working as an assistant to the local doctor. The girl had always had an interest in herbs and medicines, so Mary hoped that the experience along with some funds she had been saving for the last couple years would be enough to put her little girl through medical school so that she might never have to live the life as a woman of the streets.

Little did they know that things would change when, while running an errand, that Jacqueline would meet her fairy. It was a strange thing, not exactly what one would call cute but Jacqueline liked it. It's name was Hope and she wanted Jacqueline's help in fighting against the darkness that covered London, help which Jacqueline gladly gave.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Night Surgeon ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When transformed into her magical girl outfit Jacqueline's clothes are replaced with a set of sturdy doctor's garb complete with a satchel containing various medical tools and medicines, tailored to allow easy movement. Over which a black cloak is formed concealing what lays beneath and making it seem as though she could vanish into the mists at a moment's notice. Weapon Mercy and Kindness ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A pair of oversize surgical knives that have been sharpened to a razor's edge, these two blades can cut flesh with great ease and are perfect for both combat and healing. Each blade is coated in a numbing agent that dulls the pain of any that they cut, to the point that many wouldn't even realize they have been cut at all.

Pixie Hope ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Hope is a very motherly fairy, offering advice to Jacqueline where she can and fussing over the girl outside of combat situations. Like Jacqueline her focus is less on killing and more on helping others, with her doing her best to teach Jacqueline how best to utilize her abilities to help as many people as they can. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When transformed Hope takes the form of a simple copper necklace with a metal heart hanging around Jacqeuline's neck.

Medicine Bag
Beneath her cloak Jacqueline has a medicine bag filled with a wide assortment of colorful potions, oils, bandages and tonics. Using these she can quickly heal those who are injured, although more serious injuries might require surgery in conjunction with her medicines, and potion that give temporary boosts to physical and mental abilities at the cost of suffering some side effects once they wear off (can be serious or comical depending on tone at the time)

Additionally Jacqueline suspects that she could mix the various potions together to get even stronger effects, but she has yet to try that as she has no idea what those effects would be or if someone could even survive drinking them.

Lilith Aella

Lilith Aella

Lilith Aella Age; 15 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: Lilith was raised in a wealthy household, but her father constantly had new mistresses. She wasn't paid much attention too, as her older siblings gained most of the attention, because of this she grew up to be rather eccentric. She is happy-go-lucky for the most part, but has a strong sense of possessiveness and is rather greedy since she rarely got much herself. She was only complimented for her appearance, so she can be a little bit of a narcissist. She seems rather simple, but she has a swirling storm of emotions that she holds a tight grip over. Which leads to her main reason of fighting the Hydes, anger management.

Interests Tarot Cards Fortune Telling Learning Collection/Stealing Fashion Reading Anything sweet or cute	Strengths Her Appearance Carefree attitude Fast Thinker Sturdy Mind Lack of Morals	Fears Being forgotten by all Becoming Useless Being Married Off

History:

Lilith was born into a high-class family, but was quickly forgotten by her parents a few years after she was born, they had to focus on the potential heirs of the family so she, as the youngest child, wasn't given much attention. She wasn't truly lacking much, as she lived in a wealthy household with many servants. She however always felt something was missing. She was always looking for something she probably wouldn't ever find. Her curiosity levels were spiraling out of control and finally, when she almost caused a meal the maidsnwere cooking to be ruined, one of the maids made sure to take up the job of teaching her the things her parents should have.

By the time she was almost 12, the successor had been decided. She thought that maybe she would get more attention now. While she did get a bit more, her parents only cared about superficial things. Her appearance was something they definitely focused on. They ordered the maids to be more careful and all of a sudden she was getting pampered. While theres a part of her that hopes it's because they love her, she knows they must just want to get a large dowry when the finally marry her off. She hates the idea of arranged marriages and has been trying to figure out how to get out of it since she was 13. Her plan now consists of running away and hiding at her maid mothers house, though with her face, hair color and eyes she is pretty sure she's be caught the moment she went out, which is why she hasn't tried yet.

Magical Identity

The Diviner The Diviner ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Once Lilith transforms her hair becomes shorter and her frame and face seems to regress until the age of 13 or 14 which was around the time she started getting into Tarot cards. Her clothing is almost always the same, a dress with a white top and a black skirt styled perfectly. Weapon The Tarot ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Lilith's weapon isn't exactly a weapon, as it varies by the tarot she drew, though she usually ends without one. This is her special deck, the one she draws from to transform, at the moment she has only collected 4 cards and can only use said cards abilities.

Pixie Ultrice ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Ultrice is quite different from Lilith, she is serious, has a strong drive and takes everything to heart. As this is so, Lilith's carefree 'sailing with the wind' attitude bugs her to an immense degree. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When transformed Ultrice becomes a small Tarot card box earring, the box has the flowery design of her skirt covering it, with a small design of whatever Tarot she drew.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Tarots Choice
Lilith's ability is related to her deck of Tarot Cards. She collects the Arcana, and the ones belonging to her specific deck allow her to borrow their abilities or weapons. She has come to believe that each of the cards seems to hold some sort of soul, as when she takes on the abilities of a card, her personality gets influenced as well. She can draw each card once per day, and it's affects last until it's canceled out by another card, her pixie runs out of mana or she leaves her magical girl form. At the moment she only has 4 Majors and 0 Minors, she has The Priest, The Hanged Man, The Fool,and Judgement.

The Cards

The Priest
When she draws the priest card she can see snippets of the nearby future, and while it doesn't give her any extra strength or luck like others, being on step ahead will always be helpful. When under the influence of The Priest she mellows out much more, becoming calm and focused on one thing. She gets along with Ultrice much better when she's using The Priest.

The Hanged Man
Her only fighting based card for now. The Hanged Man card is a bit darker, allowing her to escalate minor wounds into major ones so long as she is touching the individual and the wound already exists. A long with that, the wound can't be caused by her. When under the influence of The Hanged Man she becomes ruthless and scary, seeming to have no regrets.

The Fool
This power is a true wildcard as she never really knows what will happen while using it, its ability is to make her luckier for the whole time she is under its influence. The personality she gets when she draws The Fool card is random, but it is usually just a friendly trickster.

Temperance
Temperance is a card she can save, it works up to 5 hours after she draws it. It can be applied to anyone, but can only be applied to someone with mortal wounds, though it will heal them immediately. After such, she must return it to her deck. While this card is out she becomes a caring and giving lady, but her kindness seems to make fun of others.

Clarissa Sherman

Clarissa Sherman

Clarissa Sherman Age: 16 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: “When you have ruled out the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Clarissa is clever, observant, and analytical. She has bent her abilities to the service of justice and seeking the truth to help others as much as possible. She is not, however, above the occasional lie or breaking the law when she feels it morally correct to assist a client or solve a case. She avidly studies those fields that she finds useful to her, and tends to know at least a little about most others. She has a flair for the dramatic, and enjoys keeping her evidence or deductions hidden to impress others. She also very much enjoys surprising her friends with her skills at disguises. Although her personal grooming is often very fastidious, Clarissa is quite disorganized in general. She’ll leave clothes or papers and other things wherever she last set them down, and her room is a mess of the highest degree. She takes convincing to let others clean up after her. She is athletic and not always very ladylike, often eschewing dresses for suits. Her overall eccentric nature makes her a difficult friend, but she is personable enough. If anything, she’s less charismatic to those she knows well. She has no experience or apparent interest in love and romance, and would likely become quickly flustered if confronted about it or if she had to speak to someone she liked. Despite being a Witch herself, Clarissa puts little stock in the popular mysticism of the day.

Interests Crime and criminology, cryptology, Fairies, science	Strengths Keen observer, skilled in deduction, wide breadth of knowledge	Fears The dark, spiders

History:

Clarissa was born into a middle class family. While her family was not particularly well to do, she never wanted for anything growing up. Possessed of a keen mind and sharp wit from a young age, she has gotten a good education and furthered it wherever possible with her own studies, particularly in areas of personal interest.

Her natural talents and method of deductive reasoning has led her to become something of an amateur detective. She helps others with their problems, investigating things and working hard to find solutions that see justice done. Being a young woman, she usually addresses cases among children, though she has sometimes been dragged more into the adult world. Murders and high-profile crimes are not her usual fare, nor is she well known enough to garner professional attention for their assistance. Clarissa will help anyone with whatever problems they bring to her, should they be within her powers to solve them.

Her detective work has the benefit of sending her across London, and even to other places in England at times (if she can escape from her family to travel). More importantly, it allows her to help people in need, and gives her ample opportunity to find Hydes lurking around the more unexplained or inexplicable crimes.

Clarissa treats the London coven as a sort of social club or knitting circle. She usually attends meetings, and she often drops by to recruit the help of other witches should circumstances require it.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Lumen ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Upon transformation, her hair becomes blonde, and her eyes become lighter and seem to glow almost as if lit from within. Her outfit is primarily dark blue, and could probably be mistaken for ordinary clothing. Weapon ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Lumen's weapon is the lantern she carries with her. While she could use it to club someone over the head, she usually uses it to channel her offensive magics

Pixie Lux ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A relatively ordinary looking pixie with six wings form of light. Lux tends to be a curious sort, approaching everything new with a childlike sense of wonder. She is always there to react with surprise at Clarissa's observations, or provide her own attempts at them. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When transformed, Lux becomes the living, pure white flame of Lumen's lantern.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Heaven's Eye
Lumen can heighten her senses to a great degree, enabling her to see in the dark, hear sounds that others wouldn’t notice, and even accurately process things that go by in an instant. By studying an opponent, she can find their weaknesses and the most effective ways to attack them or defend herself.

She can also manipulate the light cast by her lantern, using it to create intense bursts to dazzle, or beams of searing light for attacks.

Personality: Mary Anne is a clever young woman who is kind and polite to most everyone she meets. She can be a bit on the quiet side at times, but is still ready with a smile and a few words for her friends. She doesn’t seem to be concerned with class boundaries, and is certainly just as warm to anyone. Despite her best efforts, her lower-class accent and slang sometimes slip out, especially if she’s under stress. While she appreciates her new life, she sometimes wonders if she’ll actually be able to fit in. She definitely worries that others don’t take her seriously, particularly if they know her history. In her magical girl persona as a lady thief, she is much more flamboyant and outgoing. She is still polite to everyone she meets, and tries to avoid violence or threats in any of her capers. Cunning and just a little dangerous, she’ll sweep men and women alike off their feet, stealing hearts along with material wealth. She always leaves a calling card at her burglaries.

Interests The language/meaning of flowers, criminology, sleight of hand	Strengths Energetic, chivalrous, charming, courteous	Fears Being caught by the police, not living up to others’ expectations of her

History:

Mary Anne was orphaned at a young age, and her early life was difficult. Her orphanage was not particularly kind or able to provide for the children, and she had to turn to picking pockets and other forms of petty theft to survive. Life was hard and sometimes dangerous, but she always tried to be kind and help the other children or those even less fortunate than she was.

Eventually, she was adopted into a wealthy family, lifting her out of poverty and into the world of the upper class. Suddenly schooling, refinement, and social pressures took up most of her days. Her good nature was able to more freely shine through, and she still tried to help her old friends when she could.

After becoming a witch, she’s decided to become a lady thief, plying her old trade on a much grander scale and more for the thrill than necessity. She picks her targets carefully, targeting those who do not value their wealth, or to punish the evil and corrupt. Sometimes, she’ll even steal from other criminals, particularly if their crimes would otherwise go unknown. She doesn’t usually keep what she takes, instead giving it to the less fortunate. Overall, she is a force for good, but her alter ego is seen as a criminal by the police.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Blue Rose ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Blue Rose's outfit could possibly pass for normal clothes, although the skirt is scandalously short. Her eyes are still blue, but compared to Mary, her hair is long and blonde. She casts no shadow whatsoever, perhaps as a side-effect of her own magic. Weapon Weapon's Name ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A revolver that fires magical projectiles that strike at the spiritual rather than physical body. These projectiles don’t cause any lasting injury in ordinary humans, at best disabling a limb as if it had fallen asleep or temporarily causing someone to pass out. Magical creatures such as Hydes, however, suffer damage as if hit by actual bullets.

Pixie Umbra ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Umbra is a small fairy with the wings of a moth. She has pale skin and dresses in shimmering black. She is more serious than Mary when it comes to both defeating Hydes and being a phantom thief. It is often Umbra who comes up with the more elaborate plans for a heist. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ When transformed, Umbra becomes a mask that Blue Rose usually wears over her face to further obscure her identity.

Magic
_{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}
Shadow Play
Blue Rose can meld with and control shadows. Once she enters a shadow, she can travel within it, and move through any other connecting shadows. This is both an effective way to hide and unorthodox way to get around. She can also move around or manipulate shadows she is currently occupying, causing them to change shape or move in ways counter to what casts them.

She can also immobilize someone by standing on their shadow, holding them fast as if she'd stepped on part of their clothing.

Marilyn

Marilyn

Marilyn Age: 19 Additional Info: She's illiterate. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Personality: Marilyn can be described as carefree, rarely being worried and not being afraid to say what's on her mind. She doesn't like being given orders, often looking down into authority figures. On the other hand, she also has a problem relying on others, being used to do everything on her own. Marilyn is both recklessly brave and overconfident, often leading her into thought situations, such as taking on more foes that she can handle. She's not very altruistic, thinking that every action must be repaid whether in favors or a material good.

Interests Shiny stuff Singing Cooking	Strengths Good at thinking on the fly Running A lifetime of picking pockets Knows London like the palm of her hand Ruthless when she wants to be	Fears Losing Khepri Having to sleep on the streets again

History:

As one of London's many abandoned children, Marilyn quickly resorted to begging and eventually pickpocketing to be able to survive. A few years later down the line, she would be part of a little gang of homeless children who were ordered around by a member of one of London's street gangs. They would spend their days taking valuables off people and bring them to their leader's home at the end of the day, those who had taken the most valuable things would be given food and a warm place to rest inside the leader's home, while those who brought nothing or had the lowest amount of value would be left to sleep in the streets.

Marilyn wasn't a good thief in her childhood, something that would make her spend countless nights trying to find something to combat the cold with or searching in the trash for something to eat. Over time she realized that she couldn't last like this. She started watching how the other kids shoplifted without being noticed, how did they choose their victims, learning what streets they used to lose someone who was pursuing them. The day she finally entered the house was probably the 2nd happiest day of her life.

Her meeting with the supernatural would come when a hyde would appear in the middle of the night. It pounded wildly on the door of the main bedroom, where the gang's leader had locked himself in. While some kids were hidden or running away from the house she looked for something to hit the strange monster with. If she could drive him out she certainly would be rewarded. As if it was answering her call, a strange-little humanoid creature appeared beside her offering her the ability to defeat the monster and turning the night even more bizarre. She made short work of the beast after transforming, noticing her increased abilities.

With the problem being disposed of Marilyn asked for a large sum of money in return for having saved their lives, which she was promptly given, everyone being none the wiser about her true identity. Not too long after that, she left to go live on her own, with her new powers she could aim for bigger riches than simple pickpocketing, as well as charging for her services to those she rescues from hydes who had become visible.

Magical Identity

Witch Name Ladybug ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Upon transforming Marilyn's eyes change to bright yellow, along with her long hair becoming short and being dyed black. Her outfit becomes a sailor dress, alongside a bright red coat hanging over her shoulder like a sort of cape. Lastly, she gains a small crown above her head. Weapon ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Marilyn's weapon is a set of brass knuckles. They're useless for enemies that attack from far away, but up close it'll send most Hydes flying through the air

Pixie Khepri ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ An odd-looking and prideful pixie, she shares Marilyn's carefree attitude and as such, she isn't worried about eliminating Hydes immediately. Outside of battle, she likes to collect trash that she thinks it's valuable. Transformed State ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ In her transformed state, Khepri takes the shape of a hair brooch in the form of a rose.

Magic

Ectognatha
Ladybug's magic consists of forming pacts with all kinds of insect spirits. The spirits let her borrow their abilities to use in battle in exchange for her magic reserves. Borrowing an ant's mandibles to cut through obstacles, using the wings of a mosquito to fly or a grasshopper's legs to jump high are some examples of things she can do. Any extra appendages that are created manifest as light brown constructs.

Regular Identity
• Name: Amarantha Diop
• Age: 16

• Personality: Soft spoken and serious, Amarantha is no stranger to hard work. She doesn’t talk very much, but when she does it’s usually important. She won’t hesitate to help someone in need, no matter their circumstances. The poor can get attacked just like the rich, and when you have so little, it’s easy to lose a lot.

• History: Amarantha was born to her two hardworking parents who own a dressmaking and tailoring shop in the less wealthy side of town. The business caters to those who don’t have much, and they trade in both money, goods, and trades of craft from the other shops around them. The three of them work hard for their money, and while it’s not the fanciest London boutique, it is theirs and theirs alone. Ama sometimes feels guilty about having to run off and fight monsters when she should be working; but this is a different kind of work that gives her a different feeling of purpose.
