personality.
Emmeline is fairly standoffish to outsiders when first meeting them. She was raised to be skeptical and weary about the world, and while she does remain fairly cautious, Emmeline still has an undeniable curiosity about the rest of the world. Despite this, she has no real-world knowledge and is extremely naive to society. She lacks many proper manners, especially around a table, and experiences everything as if it's her first time (because it likely is). Having grown up isolated, Emmeline learned to care for herself and, because of this, is extremely self-reliant. However, she often relies too heavily on her magic to get her out of any situation, and lacking worldly knowledge and skills, she doesn't quite understand that her magic can't fix everything.
history.
For as long as she can remember, Emmeline has lived in isolation, hidden away in a small cottage deep within the forest. As a child, her mother was her only companion—a distant yet ever-present figure who warned her of the dangers beyond their home. Though Emmeline never fully understood her mother's reasoning, she believed the warnings, accepting that the outside world was not meant for her.
As she grew older, her mother's presence became more fleeting. At first, she would disappear for a day or two, then weeks, then months. By the time Emmeline was sixteen, she stopped returning altogether. Left alone with only her magic and the company of her raven familiar, Emmeline convinced herself that she was safest in her solitude. She survived, but questions lingered: Had her mother abandoned her? Or had something terrible happened to her? And if so, was Emmeline next?
Unbeknownst to her, Emmeline was hidden for reasons she never had the chance to learn. Her mother had conceived her out of wedlock—an act that would have led to exile in her coven. To protect herself, she fled into the wilderness under the guise of a witches' rite known as The Discovery, where young witches meditated and chose their coven. What was meant to be a temporary escape became permanent as she built a secret life for Emmeline, visiting her in secrecy until, one day, she never returned.
For years, Emmeline has remained in her secluded world, never stepping beyond the safety of her clearing. Few travelers ever stumble upon her home, and those who do rarely stay long—chased away by the sharp beak and fierce cries of her raven. But when Frankie arrives, everything changes. Unlike the others, Frankie doesn't flee. She stays. And for the first time, Emmeline is forced to question everything she once believed—about her mother, the outside world, and, most of all, herself.
abilities.
Emmeline has innate magical abilities and has always been able to spellcast. Her powers as a child were unpredictable and uncontrollable, but as she grew, she learned to hone her abilities. Her powers are related to the coven path that she has chosen, the Wilds coven, granting her nature and elemental based abilities. She is also skilled at potion making, and is able to brew potions with the proper ingredients. These potions mimic the effects of a spell she knows, which can then be drank by others.
