Art by me!Character Theme:PreludePriscilla is a slender girl with jet black hair. There are deep bags underneath her flame-colored eyes, as if she's been staying up until the small hours of the morning. She wears the traditional blue robes Wyrdwood provides- though she makes it very clear that she
would be wearing something else if they let her.
Priscilla
loves shoes, and owns a large collection that she's constantly adding to. Her favorite is a pair of enchanted boots that leave smoldering footprints wherever she walks.
Personality:Raised by nobility, Priscilla Kingshield holds herself to a higher standard than most her peers at school. She is haughty and arrogant, and is extremely condescending to those she views as beneath her. She delights in putting others down, espescially if they excel in areas where she herself has failed.
Priscilla puts a lot of time into her studies, oftentimes staying up very late to practice her magic. Despite this her grades are middling, and she gets very edgy around students who have more natural talent than her.
Priscilla loves fashion, and uses her absurdly large allowance to buy herself new clothes. She often pays designers for custom outfits, probably having blown hundreds of suns on commissions by this point. It's been suggested to her that she may want to take up fashion design as a hobby herself, but she's never taken this advice seriously.
Relationships:Priscilla's parents are
very high-ranking nobles. While they
do love her, she privately fears that their love may be conditional.
Priscilla's older brother
Plutonius is probably the most popular student at Wyrdwood. While she loves him dearly, she can't help but resent all the attention he gets. It is
not uncommon for people to befriend her just to try and get closer to him.
Priscilla met the
Queen of Serendipity at a party once! Their interaction lasted for all of ten seconds, but she'll never let
anybody forget that she "knows" the Queen. If you ask Priscilla for her
opinion on the Queen however, she'll very quickly tell you that she didn't like her. It's very curious...
Susie Rainfeather is Priscilla's bunkmate. The peasant girl annoys her to no end- especially now that Susie is starting to overtake Priscilla in her studies.
Priscilla has a pet hamster! Her name is Soleil, and she's
very cute.
Magic/Abilities:Priscilla has elemental magic- specifically control over magma. This power is very weak, to the point of basically being useless. She's quick to remind people that her magic will be a big deal
someday, and gets very upset if you suggest otherwise.
explaination
"Now wait just a minute!" you're saying. "How is magma a weak power? It's fucking magma!"
While it's true that magma is absurdly destructive, it typically can't be found on the earth's surface apart from in volcanoes. Priscilla does have the ability to create magma, but this require intense effort- making a teaspoon's worth of lava would take about 15 minutes, and if she lost concentration during that period she'd have to start all over again. She also has no way of keeping the magma hot after making it, causing it to harden after only a few minutes. Even if Priscilla were to spend a full day making a gallon of lava, she would only be able manipulate a few cup's worth at a time. Quite simply, her power is not worth the effort.
Priscilla isn't bothered by high temperatures, and cannot be burned by anything- probably the only parts of her power that are actually useful.
Priscilla comes from money-her parents could probably
buy Wyrdwood if they really wanted to.
History:The second child of the Kingshield family, Priscilla grew up in the shadow of her older brother. Plutonius was the favored child- he was handsome, confident, and most importantly, he was the one who'd carry on the family name. Priscilla was always treated like an afterthought by her parents, who had clearly been hoping for a second son. The girl craved her parents affection, but would always find herself to be second-best no matter what she did...
Untill her affinity for magma was discovered! Now her parents fawn over her just as much as they do her brother- possibly moreso! As soon as she was old enough she was sent to Wyrdwood, with the understanding that she'd use the resources available there to gain complete mastery of her abilities...
She's been at school for less than a year at this point, but already Priscilla is beginning to worry. The other students her age have already shown remarkable improvement, while she's still stuck at where she started. What will her parents think if she doesn't catch up soon? What if she can't catch up at
all?
Spoiler
The Kingshield family has privately hated the Serenian Royal Family for several decades now. Nobody alive can even remember where this grudge originated from, but it's gone on for so long that at this point the Kingshields would like nothing more than to see the Di'Veerans crushed and driven from the throne. Unfortunately the current Queen is an incredibly powerful mage, which kept the family from attempting any sort of coup.
Or it did until Priscilla's magic came into the picture. Magma was the perfect counter to Qiana's cosmic magic, they realized- or it would be, once the girl perfected it!
It's been made extremely clear to Priscilla what her role in their eventual coup would be, and exactly what would befall their family should she fail. The weight placed upon her shoulders goes beyond a simple fear of disappointing her parents- if she fails to kill the Queen of Serendipity, she won't have a family to disappoint.
