As the brown-haired girl approached homeroom, the weight on her back felt a little lighter. Or at least, she was able to ignore it to a better extent. Eir wasn't that heavy anyways, not more than a normal person of her size might actually weigh in reality. Plus it was actually...kinds adorable how she could just fall asleep just being carried on her back, cat-eared hoodie and hair and all acting as a comfortable pillow apparently. Course' if she told Eir that it might just elicit some sort of comment on things later, perhaps in front of people if anything. That would actually be rather awkward, enough to maybe break her usually relaxed self hen it came to it.
Though if she wanted to really see awkward, that Zeke guy was honestly an odd guy of sorts. Not that it was bad, just different is all. She had already shrugged it off anways, looking back at the incident as a strange but interesting bit of the morning. Though at least she hadn't had to say what her element was to the boy or anyone else back there, since it was her first time meeting him and all. That was still a topic she was touchy on around people she had just met, albeit Eir had proved worthy enough of her trust in telling her about that bit after a while.
"Alright, sleepyhead, we're almost to the room," Leanne said with some noticeable affection as she looked back at the sleepy Eir for a moment, a small smile coming into her face before she looked back forwards again towards the room itself.
It already seemed like two people were standing there outside of the room, holding hands at that. Heh. Maybe one of the couples that had formed already in the first three months? Still, she could almost feel the nervousness of one of them as she approached the doorway. Stopping for a second, she looked over at the couple and gave them a little nod.
"Hey there, feels like good morning, eh?" she said, attempting to drum up a moment of conversation before she would carry Eir over to a seat and place the smol sleepy girl in her usual sleeping position.
She had seen these people before a good few times in homeroom, but at the same time was having a little trouble recalling their names. It was a little embarrassing of all things, but she hadn't really been able to get to know them well either. So it made some sense that she'd struggle to remember who they were even if she could recognize their faces.
"Hey!" a voice called out to the two girls who had been standing there talking, Diana walking over with a casual, one-handed wave as she approached them, "I was told i'm getting a roommate, then i was told she'd come this way."
Diana stopped talking for a moment after stopping next to Lyra and Freya, looking at the pair with her curious but fiery colored eyes for a few seconds with a casual expression on her face. These two girls were new to the redhead's eyes, not her temporary roommate or anyone she could recall having seen for the last three months. But perhaps that was what she got for coming to this school's busy campus with enough students to maybe not notice a few in the last three months of time. But since she'd been told about a new roommate, she wanted to come and see who it was during lunch. At least to get an idea of what this new person would be like, anyways.
"Hey there. Which one of you is.....Freya's her name? I'm Diana by the way," the teenager said in English to to the two girls, giving a light wave with her right hand to them, not mincing words as she got to the point of introducing herself and asking if either of the two was her new roommate.
In the meantime, i have made my master! Behold, my drunkest mage!
Name: Evangeline Henderson
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: A scholar and hard worker by nature in those things she finds interest in, Evangeline's lack of innate talent did not stop her from becoming a magus. This being said she comes off on the average looks rather lazy, yet easy to approach in a relaxed sort of manner for some reason. When not putting her work into the things she is interested in or has set her mind to, she can usually be found lazing off or slacking in some manner, whether it be sleeping, eating, drinking with friends, or the like. Easily underestimated on first impressions alone, she takes comments about her in stride and is more likely to shrug them off than the average person. Even so, she takes her work on her magecraft rather seriously, but all the same could easily becoming a drinking buddy under the right conditions that people feel like they want to talk to. It is an odd assortment of traits to some perspectives, but to her she is just..."herself", nothing more, nothing less.
Though in regards to this Holy Grail, she has some mixed feelings. On one hand, she feels her wish might be best spent on forming her own family and moving away from the parents who rejected her presence being around them a long time ago. To be able to create a situation where she could be independent and stake it out on her own even more so. Still, she also feels that perhaps the Grail could be used to do something better, to better benefit herself or others in some manner. In what manner might that be? Even she is still trying to think it over.
Skills:
-Can drink like a champion in any form of drinking competition, personal or formal, with a gut like iron and a liver that has been enhanced via magecraft by a co-worker to withstand this stuff. Takes a lot to get her drunk as well, actually.
-Is familiar with all sorts of basic household things like cooking and cleaning, the necessities to live on her own as a magus.
-Superb driver when it comes to cars, mainly from many days spent driving to get food and such. Albeit, she is a notorious speeder on or off of the highway.
Abilities:
-Familiar Creation (Worms): She is notably skilled in the realm of creating familiars, even if in many other ways she is an average magus. In particular she has a breed of worm familiars she has created through her time spent at the Clock Tower, bred to multiply incredibly fast, create mostly self-sustaining colonies she can control with a far greater ease, to have powerful jaws and dig very quickly, and finally to be able to transform what they eat into minerals of various sorts (including jewels) or just eat away things like solid rock and earthen substances to convert them into mana for the worms themselves (or to be injected back into their creator physically to restore her reserves and such). These familiars of sorts could be considered the "pinnacle" of her magecraft, which can be employed in various ways.
Simply by planting them in the ground she can create an area wherein the worms create a massive underground colony that continues to spread over time, and by accessing their senses via using Shared Perception magecraft (which she can use rather well) she can even use individual or small clusters of worms like spy cameras to spy on various places. Further, with the worms being sensitive to sensing mana and prana, she can use them to detect where enemy magi are better and better as the colony spreads underground.
She uses an array of single-action spells to direct her worms in various ways and to do things like sense the condition of the worm colonies she has planted from even miles away. From directing them to attack targets to using a single one of these small but very hardy worms to spy on others, the earth is generally not one's friend when facing her. But the independent nature of the worms to the extent it exists allows them to survive an amount of things and not require constant maintenance. Further, as they eat to generate their own nutrients and prana, the worms are far less of a drain on Evangeline herself to use.
-Elemental Magecraft (Earth): She has a level of competency in earth magecraft, using it to generally work in tandem with her familiars, to fight against enemies, or defend herself in some manner. She is no genius in this area, but is a generally skilled magus in this area who knows many spells.
-Other Magecraft: She is familiar and average in skill with the other basic things a magus should be able to do, bounded fields, locking/unlocking doors, creating basic familiars out of animals and such, using Shared Perception on familiars, and the like.
-Magic Circuits: Her magical circuits are of high quality, albeit are in rather average quantity.
Brief Backstory: Evangeline is a member of the Henderson magus family, who in the early 1800's moved to America as a break-off of another magus family that had lost so much power they were nearly nonexistent among magi. With them they took half of the family's crest as well. However, the family used what influence they gained over their first several generations of independence, greater in their fraction than in the main family they had left, to secure the remnants of the main family's assets once it finally caved in due to the death of that family's last viable heir who had possessed their remaining half of the magic crest.
Since then, the Henderson family has kept two "homes" as magi, their main one in America where they possess land over a leyline in the Southeast United States, and the grounds of the main family back in England which acts as a home for their European branch where many experiments and tests are performed in regards to their magecraft. Many family members travel using their private jets from one home to the other, usually for purposes of getting data in one place, assisting in an experiment with the staff and family members who live at the England residence, perform business transaction that have kept the family prosperous financially, and to take successful subjects back home with them for practical tests in the field.
Among this family was born Evangeline herself at the England location, to the head researcher of that facility and his wife. She did go to America from time to time to visit relatives, lived there partly even, and got very used to the traveling that this would put her through. As it were, she proved to be no prodigy as a magus, but did manage to do one great thing in her parents' eyes in regards to their work: develop her personal familiars. Though this was not enough to keep her from being sent to take classes at the Clock Tower in an attempt to better develop her overall as a magus in the future. Such was the intent of her family.
Though her basic skills as a magus rose to average and acceptable levels, though after being handed around lot a "hot potato" to the Zoology, Botany, and then finally the Mineralogy/Geology department when she went out seeking for internships. Though what she picked up from each area seemed to build on her development to a certain extent, in the end she found some form of success the lattermost area much to some surprise. By no means was she a magus of great talent in many areas, nor the best magus among her peers, but she was a magus who was notably good in regards to applying her knowledge and learning from various areas to the application of creating, developing, and employing her personal familiars.
Eventually she went off on her own, seeking to hone her magecraft individually in order to continue the development of her familiars. She was only 21 when she set out and bought a place in Midwestern America to make her workshop, but since has put considerable time into her work, whilst keeping in touch with the few she decided to keep contact with back at the Clock Tower from her many years spent there. Further, she made acquaintances in her local area among magi, doing odd work for them at times just to make some money and some connections around her. Albeit, only four years later she would find herself in another situation that would perhaps be a change to her entire life.
A female associate from one of the families she would work for at times eventually told her one morning, after they had woken up together on her couch due to a night of a celebratory drinking, about an odd "ritual" going to be held that her own family had gotten wind of. Some backwater ritual hijacked from Japan or something, a pathetic little thing that offered the chance at getting some magical cup, a "holy grail", that could grant some sort of wish. Intrigued by the prospect, Evangeline set off to gather more information on this matter, finding that it would be occurring in a little town called "Redrock" on the coast and things about summoning a servant and such. Nothing seeming too special to many, but altogether too interesting for her curious mind to let go of. Readying her things, she set out eventually to participate in this ritual, this war for a "holy grail", with the intent to fight for this prized wish herself in the end.
@Rune_Alchemist Just want Leanne and Eir to show up in Homeroom? Or somewhere else?
@baraquiel Do you want to do any interaction between Diana and Freya, since they are roommates and all? And if so, where or in what class would you like them to meet? :) Nvr mind i forgot you are working with another person for a moment there...
Argh! I just want to find someone for Diana to interact with! And i don't want to barge into other people's interactions and stuff again without asking first! XD
