Name: Elías Delgado-De la Cruz
Gender: Cisgender male
Age: 23
Sexual Orientation: Gay

College Degree: Bachelor's in elementary education
Witch or Warlock: Warlock
Schools of Magic: Alteration (Transmutation)

Personality:
Elías—or Eli, or El—doesn’t have an abundance of close friends. It’s not because he keeps to himself: He’s quite personable, bringing a relaxed presence that chills out those around him. He’s rarely emotional in public, either positively or negatively, which can make him both comfortable to be around and difficult to read. Fortunately, he’s not a person that needs much reading into: Social decorum be damned, Elías is not one for filtering his speech. He says what he is thinking without malice or sugarcoating, which can be both a blessing and a curse—some appreciate his upfront honesty, while others find it harsh or mistake it for sarcasm, even if that isn’t his intention. For these reasons, and his apparent difficulty with picking up on social cues, Elías is not someone with much of a social circle. These communication barriers are the source of much frustration, though he struggles to overcome them

His loneliness certainly bothers him, but he’s learned to live with it: He’s an ambivert, acclimating comfortably to extroversion or introversion. To him, it’s an unfortunate truth that he’s the one everyone knows but no one is close to—but Elías is nothing if not stubborn, and does his best to put himself out there regardless. His strong sense of empathy drives him to help and comfort, though often to his own detriment—it can be easy for him to forget to take care of himself whilst worrying over someone else.

Though he remains composed around others, he can also be quite emotional while alone—he can have no reaction to something around others, and be moved to tears with it when no one else is around. The one exception to his rule of composure around others is his tendency to become overstimulated: Excessive sensory input can lead to him becoming easily stressed, forcing him away to somewhere more quiet to regain his cool. Thus, he appreciates calmer spaces and people, favouring the quiet types over those louder or more boisterous.

History/Bio:
The Delgados have always flirted on the fringes of magic: Though they fled Spain centuries ago to escape the Spanish Inquisition’s attempts to uproot witchcraft from Navarre, their interest in the arcane waned over the years as they integrated into the local, heavily Catholic, Latino communities of New Mexico.

It wouldn’t be until years later, when the Delgado patriarch emigrated in the 1940s after serving time in the war, that interest in the occult sparked once again for their bloodline. His time in Europe had exposed him to the supernatural, as he learned the harebrained schemes of the Axis Powers to control the unknowable were perhaps not so baseless after all. Fortune tellers with eerily accurate predictions in Italy, local French faith healers able to turn the enemy’s fallen against them—it didn’t take much digging through the family archives for Mr. Delgado to uncover his family’s ties to these mystic arts. So, despite the protests of his elders, he uprooted from their home in Albuquerque to head for a small town in Washington state by the name of Tanner. Eager to learn the secrets of magic, he threw himself headfirst into the coven’s teachings and unlocked the powers of invocation.

And he was terrible at it.

For quite a while, the Delgados were a bad joke amongst the higher ups of the Tanner coven: Nouveau magicians, headstrong and overconfident and incapable of clambering out of the lower ranks of warlock. A daughter only able to transmute things into frogs, a grandson who teleported himself into a wall—it seemed magic was not in the family’s cards.

A glimmer of potential arose, however, with the youngest son of the family: Elías’ parents insisted on him joining the coven, despite his hesitancy—there wasn’t exactly an outstanding precedent for his success, after all. Surprisingly, though, Eli proved to be far more capable of wielding his powers than those that came before him. Determined to defy their heritage of mediocity, his parents urged him to continue his studies into magic. Eli refused, however, determined to continue his life normally. He split off from the coven to attend college, and it appeared he had finally escaped the small town of Tanner—somewhere he had always believed was a dead end for his future prospects.

It seemed Elías would never return—however, the sudden death of his father changed that. Natural causes: They'd all been expecting it for some time, but it still took him by shock when he got the news. Whether out of guilt, obligation, or something else, Eli returned to Tanner to attend the funeral and reenter the coven he had sworn off when he was younger. Now, he finds himself at a crossroads: Which life will he choose? One with the coven, or one out in the world where he longs to be? Or can a compromise be struck to please himself and honour the memory of his father?

History/Bio:
Jacob Vincent Charleson was born twenty one years ago in Nevada. He did have an unusually good life for someone in his social class. Well supported by the extended family and charities, he eventually became very well respected as a magic user once he reached the age of nineteen. When he turned nineteen, he came to Washington to live in Tanner. He's been obsessing over men, and magic ever since. Also, he has no prejudiced against warlocks or non mages or anything like that. He's very laissez-faire in life, and generally leaves people alone unless they are being a menace.

" You know.. doors are simply for people with no imagination. "

Name: Ophelia (Ophie) Sontheil

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Sexual Orentation: Pansexual

College Degree: Bachelor's Degree in Psychology

Witch or Warlock: Witch

Schools of Magic: Illusion, Enchantment and Divination

Illusion - Probably the strongest magic Ophelia can do, as well as being her favourite.
Her imagination can create beauty, even at points bewitching herself. She loved to create things that gain praise, as selfish as that might be. Things to convey emotion, things that she can't put into words, things to trick others, anything!

Enchantment - Lazyness is a problem for Ophie. She has a habit of enchanting this to do stuff for her, like a bedsheet to clean itself, or food to cook itself. It makes her being physically weak even worse. Of course, she could do it to play games with people. Making them think they're going nuts, is funny to her, but she doesn't like to do it that often, for fear of actually making someone go nuts.

Divination - Telling the future is a nice past-time to her, for some reason. Tea leaves are her favourite kind of future-reading, because using little china teacups works with her clothing style. She has books about different omens, and is a little superstitious. Scaring people by pretending she sees bad omens is another selfish past-time.

Magic Ability (Out of 10): 7

Personality:
A bit of an eccentric girl- friendly and a little wild, Ophie cares alot about people. Despite looking a little strange (and looking very different to her personality), and being rather hyperactive, she's gentle at heart. Ophelia is a little shy, but when comfortable she can be the Ophie that her friends are used to. She can be serious and calmer when needed though. She's ambiverted, to put it short.
She likes dressing in gothic-lolita style-clothing, because she finds fitting to be a witch and dressing like this, having a love of Halloween, causing her to still sometimes think of witches as green, old women in black dresses and hats.
Ophelia has a temper problem, and when she loses it, she throws a tantrum. These can be ignoring or avoiding a person, being very quiet and moody, or directing her anger towards items. At times she can be hypersensitive, stubborn, demanding, jealous of people, being selfish is a big issue, lazy and dishonest when it comes to certain things. Of course, she loves her style and being wacky and fun, but she finds it embarrassing being herself at times, specifically when making friends.
In other words, she acts more like a child then an adult, but still is very much one.

Bio/History:
Ophie was born in a little village just north of Yorkshire, England, on the 21st of October.
Her parents were both from long lines of witches and warlocks, (who fought and protected their home from all those nasties behind the veil) and home-schooled her, teaching her about magic and how it works alongside normal subjects. Of course she didn't learn how to do magic until she got older, but she knows a fair bit about the history of witches and warlocks.
Ophelia didn't have many friends as a child, as she was a 'weird' kid. I mean, you would be, if you were young and grew up in a magical household, without anyone to talk to about it, right? Her only friends were younger children, that believed magic. They used to play pretend, which had a great effect on her in future, longing to be a child again, and being able to just goof off without a care in the world- and going anywhere your mind can come up with.

At the age of ten, Ophelia and her parents moved to Tanner, after her father's friend had told them about the coven of Tanner, and moved there for a chance to build friendships with people just like them.
Ophie made close friends, and as she learned magic, she had people her age to show them to.

At college, Ophelia studied psychology, before returning to Tanner to the news that her and the other younger witches and warlocks were to take over the Coven.
As well as having a part-time job babysitting young children, Ophelia is popular(ish) on social media for fashion pictures and videos, with her 'unique' style (her own take on gothic-lolita) gaining a bit of traction on her account, and looking for jobs in her chosen field.
In free-time, she enjoys playing games, trying on new clothes and styles, growing flowers and berries, going to theme-parks Performing on stage (like the drama queen she is) and eating sweets (Candy, desserts, sweet foods/treats). Sometimes she drops little hints online about her love of magic and being a witch, which has gotten her in a little trouble with the coven before.

Name: Catherine Rose Hierich

Gender: Female
Age: 22
Sexual Orientation: Asexual heteroromantic


Witch or Warlock: Witch
Schools: Evocation, Illusion and a little Necromancy







Personality:
Catherine is generally a quiet and soft spoken women. She's very much a people pleaser and works herself hard for the the clan to prove she's worth keeping around- even if she doesn't have anyone to prove it to. Catherine can be very on-edge, living her life very carefully, calculating every move. Catherine is very patient and cares a lot for the people around her. She notices small things and fine details often overlooked. Although she is introverted she enjoys being around her loved ones

History/Bio:
Joseph Pallow was a powerful necromancy witch- and born into a coven set on subduing the human race, of which he became a strong player. His coven often clashed with the covens such as the one in Tanner, possibly even Tanner itself. Michael, his brother, had joined the Tanner clan in his teen years as he was disowned from his family for his stance against their ideals. It's unknown exactly what happened to Joseph but one day he arrived on his brother's doorstep begging for forgiveness and acceptance into the Tanner coven. Although he was watched closely Joseph was somewhat accepted into the group and years later started a relationship with Melanie Hierich, a human waitress in the town the clan borders. After about a year together Melanie fell pregnant with Catherine. Only a couple of months after Catherine's birth Joseph disappeared. A couple of months later he was seen with his coven feuding with the Tanner clan to be kept from hitting the town. Melanie took their infant daughter and fled to Maine.

Growing up Catherine actually had a relatively normal life and knew none of her magical heritage. Her mother eventually studied and gained a job as a teacher and the pair lived a peaceful life. Occasionally as a kid Catherine would make some odd statement about hearing voices but early on it was put off as general children saying weird things. Catherine wasn't a super popular kid in school but had a decent group of friends. It was when she was 16 the voices got worse, it was the first time she was convinced they weren't her imagination. The voices seem to wail in her ears, some begging for vengeance, some requesting a family member be contacted and some, it seemed, just seemed to straight up annoy her for fun. She tried to ignore them for months, she didn't want to be seen as crazy, until she eventually broke down and told her mother. Melanie reluctantly told Catherine about her heritage and offered to get her in contact with her uncle. Catherine jumped at the chance and Michael convinced the pair of them to move back to Tanner so he can train Catherine in magic.

Catherine completed high school in Tanner and got to know the coven. While some of the older members of the coven were obviously weary of Catherine she was able to find her place among the people and her mother could be reunited with her old friends. Catherine completed a teaching degree, following in her mother's footsteps, so was asked by her uncle to take his place in the coven as he had no one else to pass his torch onto.

Catherine works as a tutor a couple of times a week to allow her more time to help with clan's healing and to train with her uncle. Knowing where she comes from she tends to live a bit fearfully- scared to become like her father.

Name: Claire Marie Delacroix



Character Quote: "Shadows only make the light seem brighter when it comes."

Age: Chronologically 125, biologically 18

Sexuality: Asexual

Witch or Warlock: Witch

Schools: Right now, she doesn't even realize she's a witch, much less know any spells, but she will eventually focus on Necromancy, Conjuration, and Enchantment. Spells will include reanimating dead bodies and maybe even resurrecting them, demon summoning, curses, and blood magics.

Personality: For someone with no heartbeat, Claire is rather lively. She tends to wear flamboyant pink and purple dresses when out in public, and dreams of being a big-name fashion designer one day. When among the coven, she goes with black hooded robes to play herself up as a Ringwraith knockoff, complete with hammy, overblown ritual magics, but it's all a blatant acting job. She is obsessed with magic in all its forms, and can be found reading books on the Art at all hours of the day and night- not having to sleep helps. She really struggles with modern technology, though- she's never even heard a radio or actually seen an airplane before.

Bio: Well before any of the other Tanner witches and warlocks were born, the Coven was home to a gifted sorceress. Claire Delacroix seemed to be a natural when it came to the most unnatural parts of witchcraft, yet she was always kind and helpful, eager to lend a helping hand. But she was subject to seizures, and one night, her tongue crossed back into her throat, cutting off her air, and that was that.

The Coven held their funeral, burying her with a silken dress and rose petals in a far-off corner of the manor grounds, saying their honest words of sorrow. And then, she simply faded into memory, a tragic tale of what might have been, and soon, not even that. None alive even remembered her, save perhaps a half-mention in some dusty old book in the coven library.

Until last night. A squall of magical energy passed through the Coven's graveyard, reacting with long-dormant necromancies within her body and bringing her back from beyond. Now, she staggers disheveled towards the mansion's door, yet there's something missing. Unbeknownst to her, her memories, her very soul is somewhere else. But a voice in the back of her mind tells her she is still destined for greatness...

Personality:
⚈ Protective ⚈ Charming ⚈ Free-Spirited ⚈ Serial-Romantic ⚈ Secretive ⚈ Efferevscent ⚈ Open-minded



History/Bio:

Cai was often seen as the perfect son growing up: handsome, athletic, friendly, adept in transmutation magic, and well on his way to becoming a Witch (and he made good grades too). He was the student-athlete who everyone in high school voted most likely to succeed the greatest in life. For a while, Cai did everything he was supposed to. For a long time, he stifled himself, conforming to the desires of his father who wanted him "to be this" and "to do that". Being the son of an overachieving businessman was absolutely exhausting. Cai's actions were often tied to his father's reputation and his father couldn't take the chance of letting Cai choose who he wanted to be. He ran track because his father wanted him to. He said he would become a doctor because his father wanted him to. He practiced his magic incessantly because his father wanted him to.

And after his mother died, his father sent him away to a prestigious university in Berlin, Germany. He didn't want to go, he only went because his father wanted him to. As a form of rebellion, he stopped practicing his magic (much to his father's dismay), grinding his progress to a halt and limiting himself to the alteration magic that he already knew. Before this point, every action he took during his early years was due to his father's influence and control. Without his mother to provide him with a sense of freedom, he had to discover it for himself.

Berlin was that for him, an eye-opening experience. Spending seven years in Berlin, he quit college after his first year, and pursued his true interest, songwriting. Cai spent several years working odd jobs, learning German, and focusing on his songwriting. Eventually, he got lucky, or perhaps someone hit him with a bit of "luck" magic. Eitherway, he was able to sell one his songs and make a name for himself, going on to write multiple hit songs for many German musical artists.

Cai hated lying. But it was something he did for a long time, lying to his father about university and his fake doctorate pursuits. Eventually, his lies consumed him and he couldn't lie anymore. Putting his career in Berlin on hiatus, he decided to fly back to Tanner to face his father and tell the truth. He doesn't plan to stay long, but who knows what the future holds.
