Name: Rebecca Vazant
Age: 26
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Mf1271b9477..Personality: Calm and confident, Rebecca knows that there aren't many things that can harm a witch of her caliber. She's very curious about anything magic related, and will take the time to teach anyone who asks her.
Powers: Necromancy- Rebecca can control the physical remains and souls of nearby dead people and animals. However, since her death, she has not been able to manifest the energy needed to do the latter.
Home Universe: A medieval timeframe world with a ban on magic.
Bio (Up until death): Rebecca first learned she had magic at a young age, when she shook an old man's hand in the market square. Unbeknownst to her, the old man was a sorcerer, and offered to teach her in secret. She agreed, and soon found she had a talent for raising the dead.
Two years ago, the town blacksmith was murdered. With the guardsmen at a loss for suspects, she raised the dead man's ghost and convinced him to finger the murderer. The guards were in a strange situation. On the one hand, Rebecca had done the town a great service. On the other, she had used black magic, a crime that came with a sentence of burning at the stake. Eventually, it was decided that Rebecca would be allowed to live, but only if she promised to use her magic within certain limits. Thus, Rebecca became the town witch/medium, channeling the dead to allow their relatives one last conversation.
Cause of death: Several weeks ago, her village was struck by an epidemic. Rebecca volunteered to help care for the sick, but she managed to contract the disease. She raced to try to complete a ritual that would allow her to survive as an undead, but died before it was finished.
