Ailsa Windren


Appearance: smaller in stature with bright red curly hair. Her green eyes always look naïve. Her fair freckled skin is quick to blush under her honest emotions.

Personality: young and a bit naïve. Honest to a fault and quick to speak her mind. Naturally clumsy and prone to trouble.

Family: The Windren family is a powerful bloodline, known best for their skills in transfiguration. Like most older magic lines, the family takes deep pride in their member and cast a large amount of burden on them. While most families hold each person in great regard, the Windren do not believe blood to be enough. They are notorious for disowning anyone that can't meet their extremely high standards. Only those who prove themselves worthy will be allowed to carry on the Windren name.


History: Being born into the Windren family was a fate that shouldn't have been cast on this pure of heart girl. The family took deep pride in their bloodline and the great magic that was practiced by its members. Many great witches have come from this family, and all had a great legacy to live up to.
She was never what her family expected of her. Despite her great power with magic, she was soft hearted and clumsy by nature. For this she was often seen as a black sheep. She put in her best efforts to fit in, and make her parents proud, but all of her attempts had ended poorly. Most efforts had resulted in her needing to be rescued or a mess to be cleaned up, which her older sister was quick to do for most of her life.
Her childhood was spent in the shadow of her seemingly perfect sister. This might have put most siblings at odds, but not them. They had a great bond and we're always very close.
This was shattered when her sister was killed by a newly forming coven. The death shocked the family to the core, and devastated Ailsa. Ailsa was left as the only heir to the family and added even more pressure going forward.
A bit lost and unsure of her place in the world, Ailsa sets out to be the best witch she can. But she is still haunted by the memories of a sister taken too soon, and a family that is never satisfied with her.
 
Freya McNally ​
willa-2-jpg.14885
​
Appearance: tall and skinny, long unkempt blonde hair. Dark grey eyes and pale skin.

Personality: Right to the point, a busy body and genius. Freya can be quite pushy she likes to get the job done and quickly. Shes rule breaker always testing her luck and finding herself in tight spots.

Family: The McNally family is a very well known bloodline originating from Celtic routes deep in Scotland. They came to the United States early 18th century planting there feet in New Orleans. They led the New Orleans Coven for many a generations before the non-bloodlines started to form. The McNallys were pushed from New Orleans bringing them to the Seattle Coven where they have remained for many years.
The McNally family is known for their use of plants and other offerings from the earth. Many of the Bloodline were very famous Botanists. Not excluding Freya.
Freya is very well versed in the use of plants and other elements of herbal proximity's.

History: Freya McNally is the only daughter of Willow Defray, a very Knowledgeable herbalist and Alistair McNally, whom both were taken out by vampires while on a mission to clear out a nest in Canada. Freya was only eight years of age when she lost both of her parents. She grew up along side her young cousin Willow Millano, who is a witch but doesn't know about the Mystical World around her. Freya looked after Willa as if she was her little sister and loves her dearly. Her uncle George filled the void her late fathers death left behind, given the Millano family wasn't part of a coven she was raised by the Seattle Institutes leader, Margret Chaining. Margret had passed only a few years ago leaving Freya to over see the institute.
Now Freya McNally is in way over her head only being 28 years old and over seeing an entire institute of young witches and warlocks. She's been waiting for a head master to come and take over but the wait is beginning to feel endless to her.
Bloodline ranks are dissipating due to the new coven of non-blood witches.

"May the Goddess bless my Sight and your Spirit." ~Cypress Stowne

Appearance: short, dark brown curls and a love of women's fashion and makeup, Cypress lives in his signature burgundy lipstick

Personality: Cypress is not the type to be bulldozed or judged, and he hides his anger well. He's spent many years perfecting the stowne face (he will not apologize for that pun, either) when confronted by bullies, and finds solace in his coven and prayers. Never one to turn down a cup of tea, he's very friendly when approached properly, with unparalleled charismatic grace and manners. If he comes off as ethereal, good, that's his goal.

Family: The Stowne family has owned much of the rental property of Seattle for generations, but they have been staple members of the coven for even longer. As the story is told, the family is descended from Nostradamus, though typically only the women of the family have the divinous powers of the Sight.

History: Cypress was an anomaly. Perhaps that was why his mother died giving birth to him. The Goddess gave him her gift early on in his life, and while he wouldn't have it any other way, his father was less than thrilled. Oliver Stowne had his one true love ripped from him for an effeminate fortuneteller. Oliver only came to terms with his son- both in regards to general tastes and over his Sight- when Cypress had a vision of the property Oliver was viewing being set aflame just in time to save his life (which was ironically how Oliver met Cypress' late mother). It helped that Cypress insisted that he was heterosexual. Currently, he dedicates himself full time to the coven and the institute.

Age: 24
Height: 6'2"
Weight :162lbs
Gender: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthday: July 12th, 1995 (full moon)
Zodiac: Cancer

Jingfei "Jessica" Lin


Appearance: Jessica stands at roughly 5'3" with a slender but well-toned build, as well as long straight black hair and dark eyes. Her choice of clothes are often more on the practical and comfortable side, not so much bothering with high-end fashion that might look good on a runway but would be impossible to wear comfortably on a daily basis.

Personality: Jessica's unshakable loyalty to the Lin family has earned her sufficient leeway to seek lifestyle and career pursuits independent of family affairs. When relaxed, she is dry-witted and quite the daredevil at times, though she can very often be awkward and shy during social interactions with other covens, sometimes to the point of coming across as cold or standoffish. During a conflict, however, she generally becomes much more serious and militaristic, and has much less patience for mistakes or for goofing off in general.

Family: The Lin family was among the first immigrants to Seattle's Chinatown district. As such, Lin witches generally tend to be relatively isolationist sorts when it comes to dealings with other families and covens, willing to provide reasonable amounts of aid when necessary or after one has earned it, but always prioritizing the family's own honor and needs in the event of a conflict of interest.
Being primarily Asian in origin, the magical practices passed down through the Lin bloodline tend to be somewhat different from those of their European counterparts, placing more emphasis on directly harnessing the natural energy flows in oneself and in the universe as a whole, rather than casting spells or performing rituals in the conventional sense. This makes most Lin witches particularly adept at defensive magic and remote viewing/sensing, as well as more general types of "spells" that involve tapping into and/or redirecting the aforementioned natural energy flows for various effects (e.g. telekinesis), though quite a few Lin witches also choose to specialize in herbalism, potions, and/or mediumship. It is also quite common for Lin witches to learn athletics and/or martial arts, as physical fitness makes it easier to channel energy when necessary.


History: Ever since their immigration to the Seattle area, the Lin family had to gradually balance their original culture and that of the land they had arrived in, eventually undergoing a great deal of Americanization in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement while still retaining the strong emphasis on honor and the well-being of the family as a whole from their native China. Jessica was born into this hybrid culture, and as a child she wanted to learn everything about everything, which was easier said than done. She developed a particular passion for martial arts from an early age, but she cared little about fighting as a spectator sport, and instead found herself fascinated by the philosophical aspects of combat and conflict and how they connected to physical fighting and running. The elders among the Lin family eagerly encouraged Jessica in this regard, and her talent for martial arts extended to her later interest in parkour as she took to exercising in various ways on the streets of Chinatown.
However, the elders soon discovered that Jessica didn't have that many ambitions beyond helping with the family. Her loyalty was admirable, but she would need to become more independent and venture out into the world more in order to truly mature as a witch, and as an adult in general. They were going to have her sent out on her own for a while, but those plans were partially put on hold in light of the recent troubles in Seattle thanks to an upstart non-bloodline coven, requiring all within the Lin bloodline to stand as one and protect their own. But these same troubles have been plaguing many natural-born witches in Seattle as of late, so perhaps it may be time for the Lin family to consider forming an alliance. And having Jessica as one of their ambassadors might help in this regard while also seeing to her personal growth.

The GM hasn't logged on since the 6th, but I know she mentioned there being 5 slots in the bloodline coven (which would leave 1 bloodline slot still available) and that there would be a rival non-bloodline coven whose members are not from any particular witch family, but who will be practicing a number of unethical measures including murdering bloodline witches as part of their initiations. So based on that, I'm inclined to assume that one of you can take the last bloodline spot while the other person can play a member of the non-bloodline coven. HOWEVER, please bear in mind that I am NOT the GM of this RP, so none of what I just said should be taken as official. Only the GM has the right to make her own final decisions on who to accept and in what roles.

'ZEMORA' AMINA DÚKŪ KWAYIE
Mo, Mora, Zemmy

"May the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh reach your ears and mind and penetrate your soul. May you become of one with the world, one with the Gods and one with yourself"

22 || Libra || Bisexual || Demi-girl || She/Her - They/Them ||
Bedíàkő Clan
​
Appearance: Zemora is a fairly tall, wispy child. She stands at about 5'9" with a thin, agile body. Her back and arms are strong from physical labor. Her long dreaded hair is usually kept in the fashion shown above or in a huge wrapped bun. She wears a lot of whites and greys with gold and gemstone accessories.

Personality: Zemora comes off as stiff and bitchy when you first meet her, because she'd rather observe a situation first than interact. When you get to know her she's quite the helpful, friendly person. Sometimes a little too friendly. She can envade a person's personal space without realizing it. Zemora is also extremely cautious and will distance herself if she feels you are being dishonest or threatening this is a tactic she uses to avoid hurting herself or family. But Zemora is also not the type to back down from a challenge, she is proud of her heritage and family name and will defend it to her last breath. She is quite confident in her skills as a witch.

Family: The Bedíàkő clan can trace their blood line all the way back to the Akan tribe of Africa. A clan of great warriors and gold miners and stronger witches. When the slave trade began, many family members of the Akan were taken west to the Caribbeans. At some point this stopped due to the Akan leading many slave revolts in route and on plantations.

Zemora's first relative Bedíàkő was a witch that was transported to Barbados. As her family grew, she passed down the Akan oral history and tradition of both witches and regular tribal culture. So that they would never forget who they were. Thus the Bedíàkő clan formed and Bedíàkő's traditions still continue to this day.

Many children of Bedíàkő were sold off to the Americas and other islands of the Caribbean. The blessed of the family protected them with warding spells and hidden tattoos. So that they could all find each other later or in the after life. Once Slavery ended, many children of Bedíàkő found themselves moving with the expansion of the west. When Washington was settled into the Bedíàkő's were one of the first groups of black people to move there. Since then, their family has grown, forming their own suburb with a school, and all other amenities near the edge of Seattle.

Background: Zemora was born after a long dry spell. For over two generations no new witches were born in her clan. Until she came. With the arrival of a young witch all of their hopes and faith had been placed on Zemora since. And without haste she was trained and groomed to hone her powers at a young age, it was nessecary due the fear that the Bedíàkő lineage was dying out. The elders were growing older by the minute and soon she would be tasked with the charge of being the new head of her clan.​
​
When the rumors of a non-bloobline coven initiating its member's through deaths of bloodline coven witches came to her neck of the woods, Zemora set out to the heart of Seattle to put an end to this coven to protect her clan and others who had ben wronged.
​
Magical Routes:Bedíàkő clan members specialize in protection and defense spells as well as hexes.

​
Abilities: Zemora has a strong affinity to hexes and defense spells. But she is well versed in other forms of magic too. At a young age it discovered that Zemora was gifted with empathic powers.
