Physical Description:

The tradition of the von Hammerwhirl family is long and deep within everything they wear and how pretty they must be for the women in the family. Louise is standing at five foot and six inches and weighs 130 lbs, her body frame is a bit more robust and beautiful looking in terms of an hourglass shape. She looks a bit stronger since its mostly because of the rigorous training tradition of the family in most things. Her silver eyes always have a burning fire within them that has never dimmed but only became brighter after being freed of the tradition. Louise’s hair is the most unique thing about her, which is because it can catch a lit and look as if it is on fire, when it is actually fire. It is vibrant and it’s color is red, which normally when it isn’t catch a lit by the change of oxygen in the room or if she gets into a heated conversation that usually causes the room to heat up as well.

Louise has a tattoo brand on her back, which is called the Firebringer. It is a tattoo showing what she did to cause her to become the disowned from her family, it is an image of a home burning down with wicked flames attached to said house. This is a way for the von Hammerwhirl family to never forget or never forgive what Louise has done. She wears mage gear, which was handcrafted by her own family to painstakingly decrease the intensity of the flames. They sprout from her new clothes since they are an insulator for said uncontrollable magics she wields. The Necklace around her necklace does the opposite of what other magical stones do instead of allowing the flames and fires to writhe and go out of control. It absorbs the magic fire before it is able to escape and damage the surrounding lands or buildings.

She wields a specific fire staff, which the von Hammerwhirl family knows much about it is called the Goreflame Staff. It was very fitting for her since its based around what she wanted the most freedom and the staff wanted it too. The Staff is very creepy in how it can speak to her and other people as if it is a living magical weapon. Louise has a highly deep understanding of certain things rather than others, however, the freedom she feels now than she did is breathtaking. It’s in how she walks, which is different to how she walked or ran before it’s like she was running from the tradition and now she runs because she can and will to whatever she’ll get.

Louise has a necklace around her neck that’s in a bow-shaped look since its her mother’s handcrafted silver necklace, which she got after her being disowned. It’s one of the important items in her whole world since her mother still truly loves her but has to act cruel and mean since her father would probably do the same to her.

Important Items:

• The Goreflame Staff
  
  The entire staff is made up of Obsidian, which is why it is black with fire spouting from its top. It gave everyone in the von Hammerwhirl a fright every time it speaks as a mother and her two children. The only person that wasn’t afraid of the staff, which was Louise since it is a flame staff. She enjoyed speaking to a staff that sounds like a mother and two children that were brutally sacrificed in creating this staff for a powerful fire mage. The Souls within the Staff itself the mother, her teenage daughter and her youngest child are 31 years old, 15 years old and 9 to 10 years old in question. In terms of what it does, other than the creepy voices coming from the staff itself.
  
  It can empower one spell within Louise’s Arsenal to be more much more controllable than her magic usually is, since it is as wild as her. It takes a day for it to recharge its ability to empower a single spell within Louise’s arsenal to make it more direct towards a more defensive than offensive spell. The oddity of these transforming offensive spells into defensive is because of the souls within the Staff trying to protect their wielder in anyway possible.
  
  The additionally oddly weird thing it can do is stand perfectly still within the middle of a room as if it is being held. However, it isn't being held because it is watching over the room in question it is placed in by Louise. Louise usually places it in in the middle of the Inn room, which she sleeps in.
• The Bow-Shaped Necklace of Opposites
  
  The Bow-Shaped Necklace of Opposites is a highly unique pendant necklace, which its bow-shaped pendant opens up showing her mother Raina and herself on the other side. It’s mostly telling her that no matter what Raina will always be her mother even though the head of the family outright disallows it, which is her father Steven. Her mother is still wielding her favorite bow in the picture and would rather die than see her own child killed by Steven for basically being a mage.
• Louise’s Journal
  
  Louise has always kept a journal to record things that she wishes to keep from people but its pretty obvious her childhood wasn’t that fun compared to what she’s doing now. She has never regretted for what she did to her family’s home because of the fact it was needed to show her father some humility. However, it made her definitely afraid of him since he was justified in his 100% stance in killing her ever since Louise was found out to be a Mage. The Journal has the von Hammerwhirl coat of arms on the back of it.
• Gold Pouch

Starting Faction:

Alhryt-Liu Trade & Lending Company

Louise joined the Alhryt-Liu Trade & Lending Company, which she could get away from her blatantly highly ridged family’s traditions. It’s primarily because her entire family outright disowned her for what she did before she went to join the company. She is a message runner for the company about escaped slaves, which is basically a general laborer job. The Company themselves don’t care about the fact she is a mage.

Spell List:

• The Will of Fire
  
  The Will of Fire is basically an effected by her mood, which if she ever gets into an agrument that makes her extremely angry. It causes her flames that sprout off her body, clothes to start moving to do something a bit more dangerous than usual, which is basically arson. She lost control of what she basically is and caused her childhood home to burn down.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Will of Fire from a highly dangerous burn everything down type spell into a fire shield, which wraps gently around Louise protecting her from anything that is easily burned if it is shot directly at her. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff shield me from the projectiles of the people who would harm me.’
• The Rain of Fire
  
  The Rain of Fire is basically a spell that she casts to effect a large area in front of her, which constantly pelts the area with fire balls that rain from the skies. It’s damage differs when its against nature or against people, when it faces nature its pretty much highly destructive. While the people will usually only have third degree burns unless they are healed by a person taught in advanced medicines and cures of the time.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Rain of Fire into the Wall of Fire, which causes it to rise from the ground in a definite wall shape in front of her. It’s a protective barrier against anyone stupid enough to try to charge at her without thinking ahead and it protects her from arrows and bolts too. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ‘Please Goreflame Staff wall off these intruders from my sight so I don’t have to look at them anymore.’
• The Elemental of Fire
  
  The Elemental of Fire is a powerful fire spell, which she learned from the Goreflame Staff. It allows her to control a single fire elemental as long as she’s able to keep calm and collected. The Elemental has two primary forms of attacking, which are the use of fireballs or a flame whip in keeping people in line with whoever is required to stay in line. The elemental looks like a 31 year old woman in size and height but has bluish green pulsing eyes while staring at people. It talks similarly as the older soul within the Goreflame Staff.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Elemental of Fire into the Aura of Fire, which causes Louise to calm down and remain focused on whatever task she was doing before she got angry and uncontrollable. It’s primarily a focusing aura of fire than an aura of fire that harms people, it is still hot to the touch but would feel like hot water falling on your face more than anything. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff stop me from doing something stupid and keep me focused.’
• The Fire Seal
  
  The Fire Seal spell is a spell, which she learned from the Goreflame Staff. It allows her to place a seal on the ground, which bars off a person from going a certain direction. When it activates it warns any nearby guards or others to the person whom tried to escape from their cell. The activation sound is a laughter at blocking someone’s escape. However, there can only be only two of these placed at a time and they cannot be activated at the same time since there’s a delay to the trap’s activation.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Fire Seal into the Flame Longbow, which Louise is able to wield in her hands as long as they are on fire. Both seals on the ground are completely dissipated and utterly transforms the seals if they haven’t been activated into a Flame Quiver with 15 Flame Arrows to be used. It’s specifically shaped into whatever bow she likes the look of, which is why it looks specifically like her mother’s bow in the picture. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You will have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff make my aim true so I can feel like my mother feels when she wields a bow.’

Exceptional Skill List:

• The Raina Style of Archery (Exceptional Archery)
  
  Louise is completely able to wield any bow or crossbow as long as she wields them for hunting purposes. It’s mostly because her mother Raina was taught from a young age to wield a longbow to hunt her own food and what not. Raina passed down her skills in hunting down animals to her daughter Louise since she saw she would need it sooner than later.
• The von Hammerwhirl’s Endurance (Exceptional Endurance)
  
  The Rigorous training regimen that her father put her through has increased her endurance to be better and able to handle certain things better. It’ll take a long time for her endurance to be as great as her father or any of the Hammerwhirl Family’s greatest warriors for hire. That are also great mage killers on top of it. It is why she’s a bit more built for wearing heavier armor than most woman her size.

Personality:

Louise has quite a hotheaded streak throughout her childhood while growing up. It caused her constantly to butt heads with her father Steven. He was a bit of a prick and didn’t see her as a daughter and more of an obstacle to be dealt with in the most severe ways. However, he tried to pass down some knowledge and tradition to her, however, she didn’t want it at all because how he didn’t treat her with respect. Their relationship was never really going to be fixed since niether of them got what they wanted throughout their whole life living together. She thought to try to teach her father some humility but it was no use and caused her to literally do something she never has regretted since.

She was wholly sick and tired how everyone in her family minus her own mother treated her. They kept her shackled without having the actual shackles on her at the house like a caged bird unable to go free. All the things in the family was mandatory no matter what because of the family’s tradition, which caused her to feel definitely not enjoying her time there. It would’ve taken something distrastic for her to be free of her shackles, which caused her to walk up to her father one day and literally tell him off. However, what he said to her that day caused her to be very afraid of him, which is why she never felt sorry for the burning of her own home. It felt more like a prison than a loving and caring home.

Louise was finally free, however, she had to lose her connection with her mother Raina because she had to say some very mean things to her. Raina always loved her daughter Louise and never going to ruin that because of what her husband Steven wants. She got what she always wanted from her mother, which is the necklace of opposites. It was the most prideful thing she liked from her mother’s necklace collection. She’s much more calm and collected around her mother but her magic goes wild when around her father Steven since he’s a bit of an asshole. It pained her mother to brand her daughter with the tattoo of what she had done but it was one step closer to the freedom she desires the most.

She got her freedom even though she got disowned by her family, however, she’s able to do what she wanted to do and that’s to do whatever is in her own power to make a name for herself. It’s the first time she felt not tied to a name and a home because of her father Steven but truly herself.

Short Bio:

Louise was born to Steven Janus von Hammerwhirl and Raina August von Hammerwhirl on a beautiful summer morning on the 21st of June. They didn’t know at the time that Louise was in the most aspects was a mage and couldn’t control her powers not at all. Throughout her young childhood within the family was basically a loving warm family taking care of their new addition to the family. However, Steven was mostly out on his contracts working as a Mage Killer or otherwise. Her mother Raina stayed at home mostly keeping her two children at the time happy and keeping each other out of trouble. It was basically the reason why it was a loving home at first.

This loving home changed to a basically a landscape of hell that was unable to stop when Louise was at least eight years old. Is when one of the maids in the home saw her hair on fire, as if she was burning to death, however, it was more like she was awakening to her magical potential. Her father outright put out the fire, however, a few moments of the hair being dried it lit back up. Steven was utmost furious at the whole ordeal and called a mandatory family meeting about what to do with the awakened mage in their own family. He ignored his wife’s pleas of not killing the child on her 15th birthday alike all the others that have been killed because they awakened to their magical potential. However, when he asked her response, she outright yelled it to her husband to not kill Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl and she’ll be responsible for anything the child will do or will not do with her magic. It was because of that plea from Raina August von Hammerwhirl that allowed their daughter Louise to stay alive. This one decision made Steven outright dickish towards his wife Raina and his daughter Louise in particular he stopped loving them.

Louise had to go through every single thing her father put her through with a face of irritation. As she got older, the more annoyingly question asking towards her father she was, she constantly asked questions to her father in why he was being distant. She did get through him in making him stop being so distant with Raina, it took this child he outright despised to fix his relationship with her mother. Steven outright didn’t thank the black sheep for the help, he did gave her a backhanded insult to the youngish girl. She was 15 years old at the time when that backhanded insult happened. It was obvious she didn’t like the insult her father gave her since she had a definite trying time to keep herself calm in not losing control of what she had.

She had a better connection with her mother than her father anyway. However, Steven needed some humility and becoming generous again because he was being quite distant and hateful towards her. Exactly three years later, she walked into her father’s study and asked him specifically why he called her a black sheep and all the mean and hateful things he said to her while she was growing up. Steven looked directly at her and told her, her useless mother should have let you die by his own hands in a battle to the death combat. But Raina had to outright say no, alike she was protecting her own daughter from her mage killer father. Louise at this moment became highly afraid and lost her calm and collective hotheaded persona and she went out and said the one thing that her father said to her all the time. In the moment of fury and hate, she told her father specifically she hated him for being a cruel monster that butcher the helpless. This caused her will of fire to go out of control and tried to kill her father exactly because of his plainly disrespect of fighting fair. The von Hammerwhirl family fights fair in a fight, but she told him I guess fighting fair doesn’t matter if it is against mages.

Steven outright laughed at her blatantly insulting towards the traditions of the family, however, he always knew mages were unjust to live. However, he promised his wife not to harm Louise if she debases herself to show what all mages want and that’s his head and his family broken and destroyed. He was a bit amazed that his daughter wanted to kill him, however. It made him tinge at the thought of being killed by a mage in his own family, however, he shrugged off the magic emitting from his daughter. Steven outright called his daughter weak and hopeless, if his hands weren’t tied behind his back he would kill her right now with his Great Maul in its holder on the ground. However, she was furious and the will of fire of her entire body started to engulf the home. She told her father, than you don’t deserve a home to live in I felt hopeless in this house and I now know the reason for this, you father.

Steven learned on single thing he should ignore his wife’s pleas the next time this happens with any of his children and kill them when they turn 15. He knew all the house was already evacuated because he was planning to upgrade his home anyway but it needed to be burnt down anyways. Louise was confused in why she was thanked for burning down their home. However, she fainted from her magical power being overexerting a bit too much since the entire mansion was being consumed by fire. He helped her since he can handle the heat and didn’t want his own daughter to die by something stupid as being exhausted while in a burning building. The only good thing he done for his daughter the entire time she was alive. In a sense, he was taught humility but didn’t care about such things since his daughter was a mage.

Louise woke up awhile later in a small house with her mother sitting by her. Raina told her that her family agreed of disowning her and outright freeing her of the bonds of her name. However, Louise was a bit tearful when she learned that she wouldn’t be able to use her full name. Raina tried to calm her down since not many people will know what she has done since they are so removed from Venedig. She could still use her name as long as she doesn’t show the tattoo she has to be given, which is unable to be removed via the magic she wields. It is basically called the firebringer tattoo, it describes very well on her back that she burnt down the childhood home of her, her elder brother Ethan and her younger sister Fiona. She was basically happy to get the tattoo since she would feel better outside and walking about being helpful instead of helpless. Raina told her how long the new renovation will take in terms of rebuilding the mansion brand new. She finally realized why her father thanked her for burning down the house now, she was necessary. It took her a bit and sighed because that’s too much for her the last thing her father did was make her burn down their own house. However, she always felt like it was required for her to feel better than she always had.

It took at least 3 years for them to create the necessary gear for her to decrease her magical potential and she was given the most creepy staff in the vault of the von Hammerwhirl Family, the Goreflame Staff. The only part of the mansion that was completely untouched since it can withstand much more than a fire. She was not really creeped out by the weapon they gave to her but she was a bit dazzled by the fact it could speak in a feminine voice. However, she was told that there’s three souls within the Goreflame Staff that are female that were sacrificed for nothing basically by her father. Since the mage was overconfident and was caught completely unaware by the Mage Killers that were hunting him.

After all that she was let go and she traveled where her freedom wanted her to go, which caused her to find herself in Venedig and joining the Alhryt-Liu Trade and Lending Company as a lowly message runner for the company about escaped slaves. The company didn’t really mind she was a mage at all because they allow all sorts of folks to join their company. She just turned 22 years old when she joined up with the Alhryt-Liu Trade and Lending Company.
