Ashe O'Neil
Age: 24
Rough sketch of personality: She's rather cold to the world. Keeping it at arms length from harsh experience. With crude jokes and harsh criticism. Pride will be her downfall, though it is arrogance rather than pride. For the woman is certain she knows more than anyone else about the harsh realities of life, and with most she's correct. With a strong will, and stubbornness that rivals stone, Ashe will not back down from a challenge towards her nor run from danger. Caring in her own way, she lets only a handful of people close, and most of those people are dead or 'dead'.
Rough sketch of Background: Born to Aiden Savitar O'Neil, a warlock of the most dangerous sort, and her mother Liliana Matthais O'Neil nee. Jonas. Ashe Joan Wenger O'Neil in her full name, unknown to her father and her mother far too gone to recall it. Ashe was a tool from birth to be wielded by her father's ambition. However, she ran away from her mother's watchful eye when her power began showing. She took to the streets of Britain and learned the hard lessons of life there till her first teacher in the ways of magic scooped her up. However in the training, Aiden came to claim the Irish lass, and was confronted by several Council enforcers. In the ensuring battle, Ashe was blamed for her father's escape and the death of her fellow student.
Cast out, and while the blame was unfounded and nothing could be proven- Charges were dropped. But fleeing to America she joined the native South African who finished her education and with whom she worked for several years as a sort of bounty hunter. He remains a close friend and the only person living who Ashe would cross the ocean again for. Unable to swim well, the woman is deathly afraid of deep water. Retiring from the hunt she wanted a quiet life for a time. Tired of seeing the hurt that covered the world and wishing to withdraw within herself. Something her mentor disagreed with, but as ever Ashe's will was not to be denied.
Magical abilities: She is very skilled in mind magic, though the use of it is illegal. Keeping the active use of it 'quiet' she works it with the subtly of a master. Her illusion magic is quiet good as well, and she can appear as anyone or anything. A useful skill for finding a criminal or hiding from someone. Combative skills became rusty but she can throw up a quick shield to deflect. Her offensive spells are limited to illusionary effects to immobilize the target. She has no talent for the more loud and proud parts of magic. Preferring to slip beneath a surface rather than make a splash in a quiet pond.
