[@Gisk] For your consideration: [Hider=Sam]Name: Samantha "Sam" Igorina Semenova Age: 23 Appearance: This placid girl has round gray eyes. Her luxurious, straight, long hair is the color of black coffee, and is worn in a pageboy style. She is short and has a thin build. Her skin is very pale. She has a low forehead and a small mouth. Her wardrobe is practical, with a lot of black. She carries a wooden cane because of her bad right knee. Personality: It's hard for her to work up any enthusiasm, rather obsessive with keeping things clean and organized, something of a pessimist, prone to sarcasm. Very grim. [hider=Background] Father is Professor Igor Semenov, works as a magic antropologist, very well loved at Sanctuary Hill but few of his work ever gets published, so he's relatively unknown outside of the college. Mother Sarah Semenova is very active with Witch Scouts, even today. Her younger sister Rachel, blonde like Mom is very popular, somewhat shallow and fashion-obsessed, and is very much the baby of the family. Sam was six when she ran across an old guy sleeping on a bench at a bus stop and yelled at him to move. He didn't take kindly to that and claimed he cast a curse on her. Since then, she finds it very hard to get excited about anything. She did, however, get excited about Mr. Cooper, her potions teacher when she was 16, and would stay after school to help clean up and organize his lab classroom. Rachel found out and tattled to their parents, who yelled at her about all the trouble she'd caused for the family while her "good" sister never caused them problems. Sam realized that they'd never taken her side in anything, and she resolved then and there that she'd go elsewhere for college. Realizing her parents were unlikely to help her, she got an after-school and Saturday job at the bank as a junior teller. She got into New Salem Tech, doing well in her classes until she accepted a dare to spend the night in the haunted Salem church. They found her the next morning, curled up in a ball with her hands pressed over her ears, talking about "the voices...!" New Salem Tech contacted her parents, and she wound up at New Salem psychiatric hospital. It was a cold, depressing place, she was constantly cold as they wouldn't give her socks. During one of her water therapy classes, she slipped and banged her knee. Despite pain, the injury was ignored for almost a week before a doctor finally saw her limping around the room. It was there she met Cass, a gray-haired old woman who told her about all sorts of supernatural encounters she has had. Watching this wizened old grandmother throw one of the Samoan nurses across the room, Sam became a believer. When she was discharged (used up all the money in her bank account), Sam returned to her parents home, but she quickly tired of their self-imposed martyrdom. She got a job at J. W. Stewards', a second-hand student furniture store with a room to let upstairs (she suspect her father had a hand in that). While it's not much, it does allow her to make good use of her ability to manipulate sizes. However, since she hadn't completed college, she's only a minor witch. But despite any curse, she wants to know just what happened to her in that church. [/hider] Magic Specialty: She can enlarge or shrink objects.
