Additional notes:
Style:
Millennial soft goth. Collects Docs, and absolutely cherishes her Wild Botanics curb stompers. If she’s not wearing black, it’s likely dark green. Maybe dark blue. Ro favors practical clothing, but has a weakness for a good black dress. Usually though, she’s wearing some combination of leggings and shorter skirt, or dark jeans. She tries not to collect too many clothes, but they’re a weakness. Jewelry is subtle. Only pure silver, or rose gold, with minimal stones. Rings on several fingers, and delicate necklaces. Her makeup is mostly minimal, due to time. Mascara. Maybe eye liner. If she’s feeling fancy, a good, vampy red lip. Her nails are stained green from her work, so they’re usually covered in black polish.
Personality: Ro is genuine. She doesn’t like causing distress or discomfort. She’s a conflicted mess of ADHD extroversion and hedge witch solitude seeking. She is interested in people, and frequently reminds herself to stay out of messy situations, despite a desire to know what’s going on. She tries to be fairly steady, but if pushed or stressed, can pop off, then instantly feels guilty. Tends to give off big sister vibes when she thinks someone needs help, which can annoy others.
Abilities: Aura reading. Hedge Riding. Herbal magic and remedies. Divination. Basically folk magic. Sally Owens meets Radagast the Brown. This section to be clarified.
Background:
Ro has always been a primarily solitary witch. She does not consider herself a member of any coven, though she tries to be on good terms with the local witch communities wherever she lives. She grew up an only child, to older parents. Attended human schools, while receiving magical education from her hedge witch mother. Her father is human and extremely ordinary. He teaches history at a local community college, and collects trains as a hobby. Ro attributes her ADHD to his side, which is highly likely. Her mother runs the community garden.
Other:
Ro loves music, plants, cooking, and sensory everything. She frequently has either music or an audiobook playing to help her focus on her work.
Her favorite movie is Kiki’s Delivery Service, because “It’s surprisingly accurate to the witch world”
She loves coffee, spicy food, good smells, carbs. She doesn’t eat meat. Played soccer in high school, and took every dance class she could. Diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Ro has trouble saying no, and has a healthy dose of anxiety. Has been in therapy for several years. She’s pretty conflict avoidant when it’s related to herself, but feels pulled to get involved when others are being hurt. Secretly a hopeless romantic, while hating the dating scene. And of course, she has a cat.
Musical tastes: Eclectic. Ro loves anything with a good beat. Paris Paloma, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Taylor Swift, Metallica.
