Art by me!Character Theme:Normal PersonSigilwig Von Merkatz... isn't pretty, let's put it that way. The woman has an almost comical looking overbite, and when her mouth is closed her top row of teeth pokes over her lower lip. Her green eyes have dark bags underneath them, and her curly brown hair is always impossibly tangled. Her skin is splotchy and unhealthy looking, as if she has some kind of rash.
Sigilwig sounds like she has a stuffy nose when she talks- which is because she usually
does. The list of things she's allergic to could go on for several pages, so I won't list them all here.
Personality:Awkward and uncomfortable, Sigilwig isn't what many would call "good company". The woman has a tendency to rush all of her social interactions, and is incredibly resistant to being approached- both figuratively and literally. She always stands approximately eight feet away from whoever she's talking to, and will actually step back if you try to move closer.
Those who
do manage to rope Sigilwig into a conversation will find that she seemingly has no sense of self-worth, and will willingly take the blame for anything that goes wrong when she's around. The woman apologizes so much that "I'm sorry" has practically become a verbal tick. Oddly enough, she never asks for forgiveness- whether she assumes she wouldn't receive it, or feels she doesn't
deserve it, is unknown.
Sigiwig is fervently patriotic, and firmly believes that Serendipity is the greatest nation on earth. She has a particular fondness for Mageknights, and could go on for hours about just how cool she thinks they are. Sigilwig loves magic in general, really- she just keeps a
really safe distance when she watches it being cast.
Sigilwig loves receiving letters, and vastly prefers them to face-to-face conversation.
Relationships:The town of Southpine is keeping an eye on Sigilwig. The townsfolk don't necessarily
mind her living there so long as she behaves, but they aren't exactly
fond of her either. Children sometimes throw rocks at her =/
Sigilwig's parents are alive, and they keep in touch through mail.
Magic/Abilities:Sigilwig is an Adhara! Her field extends seven feet from her body. She's also a fairly talented seamstress, and has a surprisingly good grasp on Serenian politics.
History:Growing up in a patriotic, pro-magic household, all Sigilwig ever wanted in life was to learn magic. Her parents, both mages from Connlaoth, had barely managed to escape their old country with their lives. Understandably, the idea that Serendipity was a land of freedom and acceptance was drilled into the young girl's head from an early age.
Desiring to be a mage like her parents, Sigilwig spent the majority of her youth trying to learn magic. The girl had a dream- she was going to join the Serenian Mageknights and protect the country that had given her family it's second chance. She never had any luck- but this only drove Sigilwig to try harder.
She was fourteen when her Adharism developed. It started out small- first spells wouldn't work
on her, then they wouldn't work
around her, and soon she couldn't even go near anything magical without it immediately turning off. Sigilwig was distraught- how could she have been born as one of the monsters that had oppressed her parents? In her own desire to keep Serendipity safe, Sigilwig made the decision to isolate herself from the rest of society. It was her obligation as a Serenian citizen to do so- her ability made her a menace to society, intentional or not.
Ten years have passed since then. These days Sigilwig barely leaves her small cottage in the woods- only venturing out once a week to buy fabric and groceries. She's managed to make a small living for herself making Serenian flags she sells wholesale to other shops- her way of supporting the country she loves, small as it may be.
