Character's Name: Yasmin Ebonwood
Species: Witch
Age: 18



Appearance:
Yasmin is a young woman of slight build and middling height, standing around five foot six and weighing a bit over a hundred pounds.  Fair of complexion, her honeyed hair hangs in untamed waves about her shoulders.  Her most striking features are her haunting eyes of steely blue that have seen much for one so young.

Magical Vocations:
Spirit Magic (major): It draws its energy from the Spirits who reside on the Other Side. Unlike other forms of magic, spirit magic can only be used how the Spirits see fit. If a witch abuses the power that is bestowed upon them, the Spirits may break their connection to the witch, preventing them from further harnessing their power.

Traditional Magic (minor): Traditional magic is one of the oldest and purest forms of sorcery inherent to the Earth and the forces of nature. Traditional magic is undoubtedly the most popular form of witchcraft known-to-man; however, it is also the most exhausting. This is mainly due to the fact whenever a witch uses this power, they must exert their own energy, causing them to experience symptoms of dizziness and fatigue.

Primary Gifts:
Premonitions: The power to divine future, past or present events through the observation and study of dreams.

Psychometry: The power to divine future, past or present events through contact with or proximity to a certain object or person.


Background:
Yasmin was born in the small, rural village of Brampton in the Ebon Mountains, and was orphaned as a child when a mudslide enveloped her family's home.  She alone survived, trapped for several days in the root cellar until it was eventually unearthed by her rescuers.  Her behavior was forever altered by the experience and the visions that plagued her down in the oppressive darkness.  She began to speak to those that no one else could see, and often had knowledge of things she couldn't possibly know.  Though taken in by neighbors, her strangeness set her apart and made the villagers fearful.

Hearing of her tale, the traveling witch Griselda came to test her.  Learning that Yasmin's episodes were born of magic, she offered to provide her with training.  Yasmin spent the passing years as the witch's servant within the port city of Holloway, learning to harness her abilities.  When her mentor died, she earned coin as something of a finder of lost things, having the ability to locate both people and objects through magic.

It was during one of those sessions that she first learned of the Roost, and a vision implored her to seek out the hidden island that she is certain holds her destiny.  Who or what that may be, she does not yet know, but she is eager to discover what the future holds for her there.
