AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Maple Halina Ziege
Nicknames: none that she knows of
Gender: female
Age: 15
Faction: Reaper
Race: Witch
Natural Ability:
Broom Flight - One of the few things that comes with ease, Maple is able to fly on her broom at low altitudes as well as hover in place for long periods of time on her broom.
Personality:
Maple is a little tight-round ball of no confidence, riddled with self doubt who seems more comfortable when things don't go right than when they do - 'cause then she thinks something worse is just going to happen.
Of course, that's not all that this ghoul is about. Maple's actually a rather intelligent little witch and has really good memory for spells, history and learning and would be a natural if she were more able to put theory into better practice. She knows what she's doing but just can't do it, which is really where her low self worth came from; she thought she was so smart and could do everything but then kept being brought down a peg until there were so little pegs left. It was a great way to burst that ego, but her parents didn't think it would really get that bad.
But it did, and Maple now tends to give up a little more easily or in a fit of frustration, wondering why she tried at all when it was obviously going to fail. Relying on others is far more easier, especially when they're bound to get it before she can, even if she might actually know how to do it better - as it can happen - but she won't say anything and remain quiet until push comes to shove. Because, push does need to come to shove with her even if she does want to help sometimes but just can't get herself to do it.
Maple needs to be coaxed into things and dragged along. Even into making friends. Like a lot, she's capable but just hard pressed to do it. She is capable of smiling and having fun, once anyone gets past anything about her and she can be friendly even if she's a bit uptight. It just takes some work.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Maple was always slated to attend her parent's alma mater, it's been a tradition after all. She just wasn't supposed to attend so early. But given the situation and their limitations of helping their daughter, they felt it would be easier to enroll her earlier to get the professional guidance and teachings that she needed.
FEAR Ability:
Jinx! [Headlights mechanics]
- Sweeping the bristles of her broom across the ground near her opponent, and channeling some FEAR, Maple is able to -well, hopefully - cast a Jinx upon them to disable them temporarily. A jinx is nothing ever permanent or deadly, but more of annoying and irritating; like a small jab or jolt, making someone trip, or even making their own attack backfire a little.
[ideas for evolution - Y2: hexes. Y3: curses. Following the Harry Potter level of these dark magical arts >>]
Racial ability:
- Summon weapon. Even though she's unable to summon demons or a familiar, like the rest of her family, Maple can still channel enough of her FEAR correctly to summon her broom.
A little bit of history:
Maple comes from a long line of witches and warlocks that are born with horns upon their heads. These horns, along with a large amounts of FEAR, are used - when the time is right - as a means to summon the familiar that will be bound to them for eternity. These familiars tend to be of the elk, deer, antelope, horned beast variety. The summoner then loses these horns after the spell is complete.
They had thought Maple was ready for it, she thought she was more than ready for it. But, like with a lot of her spells before, it had backfired on her and did not work. It left the poor witch devastated that so many before her were able to do it with ease, yet she could not.
So, she was sent to a cousin, first off, who was also unable to perform the right of passage. And there she was taught how to perform magic with the aid of a weapon, so she could learn the basics of channeling her FEAR. Until the time was right and she was able to try her familiar again. And hopefully Amityville Academy would help.
