Cressa is magician who works her magic by tapping into the natural energies in the environment and within her own body. She is also proficient in swordplay.
She is unpredictable and wild, mainly self-interested but incredibly devoted to Jessie, with whom she shares a special bond. She's also light-fingered and apparently completely lawless, easily provoked and bad-tempered. People tend to dislike her due to her arrogance and temperamental nature. Her abilities give her insight, but she augments this with skills of intelligent guessing, reading reactions and bluffing to unnerve her opponents with her apparent knowledge of their lives.
Her speciality lies in sensing the energies around a person or object. This allows her to discern a certain number of traits about this thing, among other skills associated with being attuned to energies such as tracking and scrying. She is also highly proficient in polymorphing (that is, taking on a whole new physical form), and though she is experienced in teleporting she sometimes loses her focus, leading to mishaps.
Cressa's hobbies include drinking, singing and reading fashion magazines. Her pet peeve is when things don't go her way.
Corie is Cressa's familiar, a black slaad who takes the form of a crow.
Corie is an exceedingly powerful extradimensional entity, capable of shifting between different realities at whim and often appearing absent as a result of this. Her magical powers lie mainly over fire and ice, and her crow form is practically indestructible. She will generally aim to cause as much unhappiness as possible, but is capable of great affection towards both her mistress and Jessie.
Her slaad form is sometimes used as a "trump card" in dire situations.
Corie enjoys making people suffer and playing games of logic with Cressa. She doesn't have a pet peeve.
Jessie is a warrior capable of using many different weapons to great effect, but whose speciality and preference is swords and daggers.Level-headed and seemingly unshakeable, his cool exterior belies an extremely complicated and emotional inner consciousness. He is rational, quick-witted and good at making wise decisions, difficult to provoke and impossible to seduce. People are charmed by his genuinely kind nature, powerful personality and good looks.
He is exceedingly dexterous and agile, capable of easily avoiding enemy attacks. His knowledge of different martial techniques and vast experience in battle allows him to quickly judge weaknesses in an enemy and gain the upper hand. He has high stamina but low constitution and a light frame, which leaves him vulnerable to injury if placed in a situation where he cannot dodge attacks - for example, when held by an immobilising trap.
Jessie is a fantastic dancer who enjoys poetry and music. His pet peeves are too numerous to list here.
