Master Name: Mirabelle de Gaston Age: 56 Aliases/Titles: The Wicker Basket Magi, Lady Flamestep Family Backstory: The de Gaston’s are a Prench Magi family of Black Sheep. A pure Family specializing in the art of enchanting wicker baskets with flame spirits. While it sounds hopelessly mundane and trivial, their magecracft holds exceptional power as they made pacts with very powerful spirits which they house in these baskets. The family has been in the Radiah Circle for centuries, and has been rumored to be agents of the Churches Entwined. Personal Backstory: Mirabelle had a fairly unremarkable life. She grew up learning the family craft, went to the Citadel to hone her magecraft, and graduated only to move on to the Sapphire Circle. She was a close friend of the last Archmage, and when the new one came into power, she retreated to her manse. In truth she is a friend to the Churches Entwined, and proudly acts as the mediator between the two factions. Now she has seen fit to throw her lot in with the Churches Entwined to ensure this latest Ritual isn’t a total fiasco, and means to win as to do what both factions should all want, the continued existence of the magically empowered species. Personality: A bit of a cryptic Sheep, Mirabelle likes to hide her meanings and words behind riddles and coy smiles. She’s something of a mother hen most of the time, and often dotes on the younger generation. She wants them to be better than her own, and means to ensure that fact while helping ensure there are future generations to benefit from it all. She has a deep rooted sense of duty, and prefers not to act haughty, or prideful, seeing such behavior as beneath her and any Magi. Magical Parameters Magic Circuit Quantity: B Magic Circuit Quality: B Magecraft Pyromancy: The magecraft over the element of fire. Divination: By looking and concentrating in naturally occuring fire, Mirabelle can divine the future or the past. It comes in flashes however, so it’s up to Mirebelle to discern what they mean. That said, she can also create a flame in one place and look through it with another no matter the distance between the two flames. Mystic Codes/Crest/Origin The Furnace’s Basket: This large black whisker basket houses a primal spirit of fire that Mirabelle can use to funnel Mana from, or unleash. If unleashed it destroys the basket, and conjures an E Rank Phantasmal Beast that can destroy any magic or mundane building it is in so long as it is not a proper Fortress Noble Phantasm. The de Gaston Crest: This is of the de Gaston family, and grants its wielder Pyromancy and Spirit Summoning at B++ Rank. Shard of the Primal Fire: A gift from Churches Entwined, this shard of the Primal Fire summoned by Clover the Clever. One of seventeen, this shard looks like molten pink glass. When mana is pushed through it will erupt in flames hot and fierce enough to harm even Servants as though it were an A Rank Noble Phantasm but leave the caster unharmed. The fire will be several feet across, and twevle feet high. Skills Basketmaking Equipment/Resources A small cottage in the residential district of Pommegrove, near the river. Comfortable and bound with an extensive Bounded Field secured by the four flame spirits flickering in lamposts around the property. Anyone unfamiliar to the place that the field doesn’t turn away that tries to brute force through it will be hit with a B Rank fire spell that engulfs them, if it can determine if they are there. Doesn’t affect things it considers non-magical animals.
