 I dream in color
Yes, I dream in color
When the world is black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
Name: Anna Walpurgis
Nicknames: None.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Faction/Race: Reaper / Witch of Despair
Image Song: I Dream In Color; Conjure One - Sis Puella Magica; Yuki Kajiura
Personality: At long last, after a tumultuous first year and then being dragged into the Tear to help repair a shattering world, Anna has finally gained a sense of stability and happiness - of comfort with who and what she is, and who she may become. She has finally opened up and chosen the life she now leads, every pain and every fear, every relationship. She now feels that she has control over her path.
Anna's confidence has gentled, and she smiles much more, and stutters less - while she can still be a little too impulsive, a little too brash, she does so less out of a sense of pushing herself in defiance of fear and more so because she wants to be brave - two very different things. She can jump into something enthusiastically without examining it, going solely on her heart rather than her mind. She has grown vastly curious, looking at the world through fresh eyes.
Of course, she still tends to leap before she looks, and not to consider consequences before taking action; she can also blurt things out without thinking, though not as badly as she did before. When she wants something, she's likely to go after it and to defend her choices firmly but adamantly, and her formerly mercurial swings have calmed. She is beginning to learn the fine art of moderation, growing braver and more courageous, and her loyalty to her friends is stronger than ever.
Anna welcomes her curse power, and enjoys using it, finally feeling confident with exploring her ability rather than being afraid of it. Rather than a familiar, Anna now wields a Reaper's weapon in the form of a blackthorn bow. Her curse-power coalesces as arrow-bolts when she draws back the string, and she can then fire that power at will.
Why did they enroll at the academy? Originally, Anna's parents sent her to Amityville Academy to get her out of the way after she bonded with Shibey - something she was not supposed to do. It upended several of her family's hard-won plans, and her parents decided it would be better both for them and for Anna if she and Shibey just... went away for a while.
Now, however, Anna remains because she has chosen to do so.
Personal History: Anna was born into a family of (normal) earth-witches who had always been bonded to familiars at birth. While their family was once widely respected for their ability to scare, in recent generations their fortunes have reversed. Children have been born with less and less magical/FEAR power, and the family is now considered mediocre at best. Very ordinary, not really worth much.
Worried about their future, Anna's family made a last-ditch effort to increase their family's power and renown. They spent a great deal of money and called in many many favors to obtain a beautiful gem, in which was said to sleep a very powerful familiar. They intended to bond this familiar to the next child born. However, Anna snuck in to where the gem was stored to have a look at it. When she opened the box, she happened to touch the gem... and, with a flash of light, she found herself confronted by the familiar within.
He offered her more power than she could ever dream of, in exchange for making a contract with him. And oh, how she wanted to be special, to make her family proud...
Anna agreed, and the creature - who introduced himself as Shibey - promptly devoured Anna's original familiar (a white mouse named Erasmus) in a wave of FEAR and pain. When she awoke, she found her own FEAR had been altered, and new hungers gnawed at her mind. But she did have power. More power than anyone else in her family, though it wasn't really
exceptional by Amityville Academy standards. But she spoiled a lot of plans, and as such was sent away until her family felt ready to deal with things again.
At Amityville, Anna found that her power - which had always been sourced in the earth - was starting to shift. Shibey explained little, preferring to watch and let the witchling make her own way. She did her best, but the slow and sure erosion of her power and of everything that had once been familiar took its toll on her. And for good reason: her very FEAR was changing, and her self with it. With her former foundation all but gone, Anna finally lost herself completely, giving into Shibey's goading. She strangled Shibey with her bare hands, only to learn that this was exactly what the Incubator had planned from the beginning. She was to be a host to the power her wish had invited in. Broken and battered, Anna collapsed.
And then she woke up, changed. She felt more stable than she had before, but her moods still shifted and she felt out of control, even though she did her best to pretend and present otherwise. It wasn't until the events of the Tear happened that Anna finally got the distance she needed - and the power, at last, to make a choice about the way her life would be.

I dream in color
Yes, I dream in color
I see much further than this
I see much further than this
Yes
Racial Ability: Summon Weapon
Anna can summon/desummon her weapon - a blackthorn bow - at will. To summon, she holds one of her hands palm-up and calls forth her power, which coalesces into a dark thorny seed (grief seed) in her hand before unfurling into her full-size bow. Her curse-power manifests as arrow-bolts when she draws back the string, and she can then fire that power at a target.
Natural Ability: Witch's Curse
Anna has the ability to use curse magic, specifically manifesting itself in the form of blackthorn vines in various shapes or as nimbuses of dark energy. If the energy manifests as vines, they sprout from dark 'cracks' in the air rather than from the ground. ((Magical replacement for a melee attack, basically.))
Y2 Natural Ability: Cursed Vision
Anna can control the appearance of a small room, changing it to have a mad fever-dream look. The illusion is visual only - no other senses are affected.
(If you've ever seen Puella Magi Madoka Magica, you know what the inside of a Witch's Barrier looks like? Yeah.)
Y2 FEAR Ability: Witch's Kiss (The Mind)
With an accurately aimed curse, Anna can induce a feeling of hopeless despair (and related emotions - unease, sadness, anxiety, etc.) in those she targets. While under the influence of the curse, the target's vision will shift a bit, giving the world a mad fever-dream look much more intense than that invoked by Anna's Cursed Vision ability. If properly applied, the Kiss impacts the target's ability to fight back, leaving them at Anna's mercy.
Y1 FEAR Ability: Cursed Stranglehold (Battle Cry)
Using her curse magic, Anna can summon a higher concentration of blackthorn curse-vines than usual. These vines coil out of the air, wrapping around the target and attempting to tear said target apart. While they do not have the strength to literally rip the target to shreds, they can still inflict some nasty damage.

Or in sleepy monochrome♡•••• strongly dislikes | ♡♡••• dislikes | ♡♡♡•• neutral and/or doesn't know well♡♡♡♡• likes | ♡♡♡♡♡ strongly likes
Students Met:
♡♡♡•• Siddie: A very kind person; took Anna out for eye scream when she was brand new at Amityville. Anna has not seen her since but she definitely thinks fondly of the ghoul.
♡♡♡♡• Belladonna: One of the sweetest ghouls Anna has ever met! She brought Anna a beautiful gift basket just to welcome her to Amityville. Anna would love to meet her again and show her how strong she's become.
♡♡♡•• Lark: A fellow Reaper with a familiar, who comforted Anna when she needed it. She hasn't seen Lark since, though...
♡♡••• Neil: A very confusing boil who seems to say and do stupid things and then (badly) apologize for them later. Anna would love to try and kick his a** now!
♡♡♡•• Roch: He seems very wary of Shibey, because an Incubator once put him in a pretty dress (??).
♡♡♡•• Lizzy: A gentle and friendly ghoul, much older than Anna. Sempai?!
♡♡♡•• Ulmuka: He seems nice, though Anna isn't sure if he counts as a friend or not.
♡♡♡•• Siobhan: A banshee ghoul with really... really delicious emotions. Also screams a lot.
♡♡♡♡• False: Another Reaper with a familiar! Anna met False during Christmastival. She thinks of him and his familiar Sharpie as her friends.
♡♡♡•• Yuki: A quiet ghost boil Anna met at Scarentine's. She'd like to talk to him again...
♡♡••• Enzo: She... thew cake at him. She used to be mortified by this, but now the memory just amuses her. Hm.
♡♡♡♡• Sura: Best friend, despite all the screaming! Anna is eager to show Sura her new power.
♡♡••• Edel: One of Ulmuka's friends. She also seems nice!
♡♡♡♡• Chaya: Other best friend! A faithful and kind hound. Anna is a little nervous about explaining what happened to Shibey, though...
Faculty Met:
♡♡♡•• Professor Rengath: The Acting/Theater professor. His class is intimidating and thus, by extension, Rengath himself is also intimidating. He gave her her exam, though, so that's something.
♡♡♡•• Professor Q.B.: Ugh, another Incubator, but evidently not the same kind as Shibey? Confusing.
