The Emerald Witch all magic is nonsense until otherwise noted

PERSONALITY Amelia Steinbeck is seen as a somewhat severe and dry-humored, but kind high school teacher at Blackgale High School in the town of Blackgale, California. The town residents view her with some bemusement due to her stubbornness, blunt nature, and willingness to get things done. The larger magical and supernatural world perceives her as arrogant, audacious, dangerously powerful, and a puppet of the Witch King (she hates that last one especially). She tends to treat situations and the people around her as nuisances from the most minor of infractions to the greatest threats. Sometimes it's hard to get a read on the woman due to her dry tones and neutral expressions; her smiles aren't very common. Amelia is definitely expressive when she becomes exasperated and irate and doesn't hesitate to voice her opinion when something or someone displeases her. Think of her as a crotchety old lady who's just tired of your bullshit and will say and do what she wants. This has gotten her into trouble before but then again, very few people in her world would dare to oppose a witch with her kind of power. Not to say that she doesn't have tact, she just doesn't back down once she's made up her mind and is the type that hates losing. Beneath the severe exterior, is a kind and lonesome woman who still displays awkwardness in her closest relationships. Once you've made a friend of her or earned her trust, Amelia treasures and treats those near her with sincerity and appreciation. Even with all her aggression, she has a surprising tolerance for outsiders and unscrupulous individuals (until they cross a line with her- what that is, she'll let you know). Amelia may be a witch with incredible power, but it's her human side that will always shine first.

ABOUT Amelia Steinbeck was a six-year-old girl living in America during the 1940s. She had good parents, a safe home, and perhaps even a bright future ahead of her. This ordinary existence was cut short when one day in the park while reading a book, a mysterious red-headed man approached her to ask one question: "Do you want to be a witch?" The seemingly innocent question intrigued the young Amelia who accepted the stranger's offer recklessly. And as fate would have it, the mysterious Red Head was none other than, the Witch King who was less human and more of an otherworldly force from which all magical phenomena originated in the world. Both the magical brethren he helped create and espers around the globe fear him immensely for he comes and goes as he pleases, using this one world as his playground to impose his will upon. Though humankind and their cultures and traditions have deviated over the centuries, his influence is permanent and his presence immutable. And unfortunately for the very normal, very human little girl, he became fixated on her as his new side project. Amelia continued her studies under the tutelage of her teacher, their home tucked away in some dimension, a world surrounded by snowy landscapes and constant blizzards. She doesn't particularly like talking about this period in her life. Against all odds, Amelia persisted and survived. Every trial pushed onto her by the Witch King, she would figure her way out and resolve using the magic that was granted to her. She clung to the thought of returning home or at least returning to something better than her current situation no matter what. Forty years later, the Witch King got bored and left Amelia to her own devices dropping her back into the previous world he had taken her from. She cautiously took her first steps back only to find that while she remained youthful, everyone and everything she knew had changed, shocking her greatly. For the next ten years, Amelia would watch humans from afar trying to catch up with several decades of history. She would eventually settle down in the town of Blackgale, taking up residence in one of the Witch King's old haunts. Eventually, Amelia enrolled in the local high school with no real goal in mind. During this time she encounters new friends and even a very strange enchanted boy... It didn't end well. But after averting a driving off a great eldritch, world-ending catastrophe, Amelia became infamous throughout the supernatural world although it came at the cost of losing her true love. With the help of her friends, she picked herself up and decided to live a life where she can be present and affect the lives of others in a positive way as a high school teacher. It's a temporary career for now but she's mostly content to teach and keep the oddities of Blackgale at bay. APPEARANCE Amelia has long red hair and green eyes; classic redhead. With her glasses, she gives the impression of a stern librarian. She's about 5'6 in height and has a strict and serene composure. She usually wears a specific gold necklace with a pendant encasing a very tiny red rose. 🌹 Default Outfit 🌹 Outfit Set No. 1 🌹 Outfit Set No. 2 🌹 Formal Wear ABILITIES MAGIC — All magickind are born with this energy that helps them perform the impossible, unlike psychics whose powers perform within limits. The way magic manifests is a broad subject in itself. Some witches may choose to specialize and focus on certain aspects, while others will continue their learning and learn all types of arcane arts and eldritch languages. Amelia has 1000 years' worth of very potent magical energy within her thanks to Briar, giving her the potential to tear paths to other worlds and upend reality itself. Since she's basically a container for so much magic in comparison to her actual age, her hair strands act as multiple channels for it to flow through (and she'll use said strands for different spells). Magic slows down the aging of witches and wizards as well. Amelia's magic energy is bright emerald green. (Nerfed for games). ENVISIONING — This is the basic principle that all magickind go by to cast magic. Envisioning is the ability to create phenomena and impose one's will upon reality. By creating an image in one's mind, it is unlocked and manifests through channeled energy to cast the spell or summon what one desires. Ideally, the more magic energy you have, the higher the accuracy and quality of your casting will be. For further effectiveness, a practitioner must study arcane and otherworldly languages that can contradict or manipulate their reality which reflects itself as runic-like script. You can think of it as rewriting the code of whatever universe the witch/warlock is in to perform their arts. Her other skills are tea-fortune telling and kickboxing. Other things of note are that she's very studious and book-smart. Ask her about books, she'll talk about books.
