Ferne Keeling

The Next in Line

Dossier

Alias: Information Here
Age: 21
Race: Witch
Birthplace: Falcombe
Sex/Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Occupation: Staff/owner at Silverwood Arcana.

Hair: Her brown hair reaches just above mid-chest, and is usually loose, with some waves she puts in. When she needs it out of the way she will pull it back into a braid or some kind of braided updo.
Eyes: Forest green.
Height: 5'7"
Build: Ectomorph—average height and fairly skinny but with some lean strength from her sports.
Tattoos: None.
Piercings: Standard lobe piercings.
Typical attire: Ferne has a very historic style, wearing things like witchy, celtic dresses, layered skirts, cord and wrap belts, capelets and shawls, and rustic, dark jewellery using natural elements like animal teeth or rough crystals.

Personality

Ferne is a friendly young woman, warm and welcoming, an extrovert. She tends to put others before herself, especially as she is a young witch and helps protect the supernatural community. She's kind and trusting and although that makes her naive at times, it means she can make friends easily and she's close with those in her community.

She's a creative person and can often be found daydreaming, when she's not spending time with her close friends or focused on witchcraft. She knows most, if not all of the supernatural community, and many of the rest of the town still, as she has little issue with gaining friends. Since she's a bit of a people pleaser though, sometimes people don't get to know her. She tends to go along with what others suggest and what others like if she doesn't know them very well and keeps her inner self less on show.

Likes: Folk music, especially playing the cello and harp, gardening, outdoorsy activities like hiking, sewing, and in terms of magic, herbalism, divination and rituals.
Dislikes: Most ball sports, being too hot, bright colours, jazz music, "normal" people, and formal events or celebrations. With magic, she doesn't so much like spirit work.
Goals: To find her place in the world when she prefers Falcombe and doesn't want to move away.
Fears: Her biggest fear is failure. She has a lot of responsibility to grow into, and doesn't want to disappoint.

History

Ferne was born into a very free family, where she was encouraged to do what she wanted in her life from a young age, within reason of course. She spent most of her time playing outside as a young child and channelled this into her love of herbalism and gardening as she grew, and when she was in primary school, she took up learning the cello. This was shortly followed by the violin, and then the harp in secondary school. As she learnt to use her magical gifts, she picked up control over the element of earth.

With 3 siblings, she often had to compete for approval and attention. She also had the weight on her shoulders of being the oldest, and the daughter of the high priestess of the witches. She grew into wanting to keep people happy, at the very least.

At the age of 14, she started working at Silverwood Arcana, her mother's shop, and also became part of the community's folk group, playing often at supernatural gatherings and parties. At 18, her mother gave her some more responsibilities within their coven, including helping to organise said gatherings and learning to protect the community with her spellwork. Now, she has recently taken over the shop almost entirely as her mother focuses on the coven, and is working to pay off the flat above the shop.​

Ketania Clague

The Fiery Bruiser

Dossier

Alias: Information Here
Age: 22
Race: Dragonblood
Birthplace: Falcombe
Sex/Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation: Kickboxing instructor at Rebel Fitness Gym, and part-time waitress at the Nova Restaurant

Hair: Her dark brown hair is long and is usually kept out of the way in viking-esque braids she does herself.
Eyes: Dark blue.
Height: 6'2"
Build: Ectomorph—taller than average height and while a little willowy, she's also got lithe muscle from sports.
Supernatural form: Ketania's other form's most obvious feature is her sapphire blue leathery wings, with a wingspan of around 3 metres. Her scaled tail is the same blue, with sharp, shark-fin shaped golden spikes down the spine of it and a golden, barbed spade at the tip. Her golden horns stretch up and back from just above her forehead, then curve upwards again to a point. Her hands and feet are golden-clawed and blue-scaled, her teeth sharpened, tongue forked and pupils slitted.
Tattoos: None.
Piercings: Standard lobe piercings, a daith and two helix piercings in each ear, and a septum piercing and a nostril piercing on each side of her nose.
Typical attire: Ketania usually dresses in quite punk or "edgy" semi-streetwear, such as printed sweatpants, black ripped jeans, printed t-shirts, leather combat boots and biker jackets. Her piercings are often spiky gold jewellery, and she has a thin gold chain between her two nostril piercings that runs tight over her nose. When riding her bike, she has a set of black motorcycle leathers with blue flame designs across them.

Personality

Ketania can be summed up fairly well in one word: feisty. She is very straightforward and direct and sees things in more of a black and white manner. While she can be a bit blunt, she is tempered around those she is close with, and avoids being so closed off with them too.

To her, things like honesty and loyalty are important. Honesty might sometimes result in her being too blunt, as she prefers not to lead people on with things like white lies. However, she doesn't intend to upset people. Anyone she is close with, she is ride or die with. Anyone that messes with them faces her temper. Because of her bluntness she also is prone to seeing things in quite a black and white fashion. Either someone is nice, or they're not; either they're doing something good, or they're doing something evil. This doesn't always help when trying to temper her fire, if she notes someone doing something she doesn't agree with, but she is somewhat aware that she can be too feisty, and does listen when people really tell her to calm it.

Likes: Hearty food, good drink, warm environments, rock music, theatre, singing, writing & literature, and kickboxing.
Dislikes: Confined spaces, solitude, bright colours or lights, swimming, and the cold.
Goals: To protect those she cares about.
Fears: Not being enough. Whether that's not being strong enough, or not being there if anything bad happens. She also isn't a fan of dogs.

History

Ketania wasn't always quite so feisty. She always had her twin brother there for her if nobody else. He was her main role model in life. Their parents generally let both of them have freedom, within reason, and were never too strict especially if they were together to keep an eye on eachother.

Their close relationship seemed to be a source of ridicule from some, and she began to toughen up when they were bullied in school. She wanted to protect her brother. Her father fell ill when she was 12, and while her brother took more interest in the arts, she took up kickboxing to make sure nobody messed with him. She didn't cope very well with their father's illness, and it took a while for him to start getting independence back. At 15, after a particularly mean boy from one of Kerran's classes purposely started a fight with him, Ketania saw red. She broke his nose right back with a single punch before she was dragged off him, barely using the true strength she possessed. The boy didn't shut up about her "wild eyes" and her "sharp teeth" for days. Her mother wasn't entirely pleased with what she'd done, but after seeing what had happened to Kerran, her actions were partially justified, and at the very least, she managed to get off lightly with the law for the defence of others.

At 16, she got a job at the Nova restaurant as a part-time gig, then at the age of 18, after finishing high school, she got herself a job at the kickboxing gym she herself was now a black belt at. This became her main job, but she still works shifts at Nova for some extra money, as well as the free food.

Kenna Sutton

The Graceful Lady

Dossier

Alias: Information Here
Age: 21
Race: Merfolk
Birthplace: Falcombe
Sex/Gender: Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
Occupation: Interior designer

Hair: Her medium blonde hair is chest-length and is usually up in an elegant high ponytail or a messy bun.
Eyes: Icy blue-grey
Height: 5'9"
Build: Mesomorph—strong and muscular.
Supernatural form: Kenna possesses the sharp teeth, gills, slitted pupils and webbed fingers of a mermaid, but primarily, her other form has the long elegant fish tail of merfolk. It is mainly red, with rather extravagant fins. The underside and top of her tail is a vibrant mix of pink and orange, and down the sides, tipping her fins, and all around her tail at her waist are wavy stripes of electric blue, much like the colouration of a male cuckoo wrasse.
Tattoos: None.
Piercings: Standard lobe piercings and one helix piercing near the top of her left ear.
Typical attire: As Kenna's family became wealthy many generations ago from ocean treasures they found, Kenna has a rather put-together style of dress. Not flashy brand names, but old money clothes—classy, like nice tennis skirts, blazers, blouses and knitted vests as well as expensive but not extravagant jewellery.

Personality

Kenna is rather outgoing, first and foremost. She likes to put forth a good image, though not to prove herself—neither she nor her family are tacky. She values manners, politeness and kindness like her family taught her. Generosity is something she makes sure to indulge in with anyone she's close with, as money is never an issue when you can simply visit a shipwreck and sell some treasures as "antiques".

Being such a stickler for propriety and niceties can make her seem a little bit stuck up, and though she is polite to most everyone she meets, she doesn't make an effort to become really close to many. She's found all too often people just enjoy having a "rich" friend. Thus, she doesn't appreciate people being jealous, backhanded or money-hungry, as she's been forced to deal with it far too often. She doesn't sugarcoat getting rid of those people now. Those she is close with? Well, they're often given the latest gossip followed closely by a written invitation to the family dinner.

Likes: Singing, fashion, lacrosse, netball, sea swimming, fancy seafood and strawberry daiquiris, electronic rock/pop music, painting and nail art.
Dislikes: Super heavy foods, people who are too down-to-earth, crafts, hot/dry environments, running and football.
Goals: Start a small business—to stay in Falcombe but to be less tied to family.
Fears: Being reliant on family, lacking independence.

History

Kenna grew up in a wealthy household, of old money. Many merfolk gather treasures over decades or centuries, and end up with plenty of wealth. In fact, much of her family's most prized jewellery came from beneath the waves. She was instilled with a sense of manners, good presentation and proper social interaction from a young age, making her and her siblings a little different to some of the newly wealthy families that moved to Falcombe for a countryside home. She found it a little easier to make true friends than those new rich kids, but even without flaunting her family's wealth, quite a few were only fair weather friends. It took her a few years to heal from this, but in high school she became a part of a trio.

As she grew she got into lacrosse through school but her primary outlet was swimming out in the waves. Though she could never do so with others from her school, her new friends were both supernaturals that she'd somewhat known since a young age, and so she had some freedom to be herself around others outside her family for the first time.

While her family treated her well, it led to her feeling a little too reliant on them. While she got a job in their interior design company, what she has been planning in recent years is starting her own small business.
