Lich Physiology: Seva is an undead creature known as a lich. Aside from being a powerful magic user, she also has the physical advantages that come with being undead.. And disadvantages.
~ Temperature. While she can survive extremes to a certain extent.. If it's cold enough, she will become a lich popsicle. If it gets hot enough, she can burn/melt.
~ She cannot feel pain.. And some other things.
~ Electricity can have some interesting effects on her body.. Such as causing paralysis or making her muscles spasm uncontrollably.
~ Being still for long periods of time can cause her body to grow quite stiff.
~ She is flammable.
~ Find the object she placed her soul in, and you can definitely kill her. Destroying it would do the trick, though that is easier said than done. The ring is enchanted to protect it from being destroyed by normal means.

Necromancy: Her main magical abilities revolve around death, the dead, life-force, and souls. She is highly skilled in this form of magic, able to summon and banish souls/spirits, reanimate corpses for her purposes, and can communicate with the dead, among many other things.
~ Light and holy magic are extremely effective against this.
~ Fire. Especially against more fleshy kinds of undead, but it's also helpful with skeletons if hot enough. Basically, BURN IT ALL!!!
~ She will rarely ever raise more than a dozen undead at one time. She is capable of more, she just prefers not to go overboard. Generally these will be skeletons.
~ Different kinds of undead have different strengths and weaknesses. (Example: A skeleton usually isn't bothered much by swords, but maces and similar weapons are very effective. They also aren't as strong as others.)
~ Sometimes may require rituals and/or certain objects.

Dark Magic: Given the origins of necromancy, it should be no surprise that Seva is also capable of utilizing 'dark magic'. While not exactly evil, it tends to focus more towards destruction, harming, cursing, and otherwise complicating the lives of others, often while helping her own situation. Many magical techniques used in this are considered taboo, or just not as acceptable as more standard practices.. But who cares about that? It's useful!
~ One of the side effects of practicing this is that it leaves her quite vulnerable to negative influences.
~ Even when treated carefully, dark magic has this habit of getting out of hand. Often quickly.
~ Opposing magic can be quite an effective counter.
~ Mistakes can.. Really screw things up.
~ Some spells require chanting. And/or tomes
~ Quite a lot of the more powerful effects involve rituals, which makes this rather impractical for quick usage. They can be rather lengthy, or require certain conditions be met.
~ Certain things can require making deals with beings such as demons, or evil spirits. Or gods. She tends to avoid things like that, as they can lead to some very sticky situations.

Ability 4:


████████ † [̲̅P][̲̅e][̲̅r][̲̅s][̲̅o][̲̅n][̲̅a][̲̅l][̲̅i][̲̅t][̲̅y] [̲̅&] [̲̅P][̲̅e][̲̅r][̲̅s][̲̅o][̲̅n][̲̅a][̲̅l] [̲̅I][̲̅n][̲̅f][̲̅o][̲̅r][̲̅m][̲̅a][̲̅t][̲̅i][̲̅o][̲̅n] † ████████

Personality: Seva is a very quiet and withdrawn person. Her long existence and memories have given her a rather gloomy outlook on life, which causes her to rarely smile or laugh. Even when amused. While there are times when she can be more playful or impish, these times are quite rare. She can be rather sardonic. She is always quick to think of what can go wrong, but will rarely say any of it. The silver lining on clouds seem to be nonexistent in her opinion. Instead, you just get grey skies and rain. The best clues to her mood come in the form of her ears and tail more than her facial expressions.

She is is quite an efficient worker. There isn't really much to occupy herself with at night when there is no one else around, so she either finds things to do or uses the time for her work. Sometimes she isn't certain what to make of the other staff at the school. Even the headmaster strikes her as being highly unprofessional. She has a hard time understanding when other teachers have fun, or even really connecting with anyone on an emotional level. That's not to say that she is 'heartless', but she does not see any reason to care when she will most likely exist long after the deaths of the people she meets.

When it comes to morals, Seva can at best be described as 'mortally grey'. While she understands what 'good' and 'evil' are, she does not view them as concepts that should influence her behavior. Her extended existence has left her very jaded, with very little care for others. It is hard to gain her sympathy, but her quiet nature also means that she is a very easy person to talk to. Surprisingly, she enjoys physical contact with living people, although she has found that a certain amount of caution should be taken. Jealousy is a terrible thing, but it is also a motivator. She might not care much if she killed someone by accident, but others are less uncaring.

Relationship Status: Single, not looking

Fears: Getting attached to a person, or people, only to lose them. There isn't really much of anything that she truly fears anymore. Mostly things that just make her feel varying degrees of unease.

Backstory: Seva never speaks of her life/existence in any detail, only giving as much information as is absolutely necessary. She just turned up at Videl a couple weeks before the beginning of the current school year to apply for the secretary job. She was accepted and has mostly just kept herself to herself up until the first day of the school year arrived.
(Warning: This is extremely condensed/lacking a lot of the details and complicated bits, because typing the full thing was just taking way too long.)

A lot has happened in Seva's existence, but in a basic summary.. She was born a few centuries ago in a village that was ruled by a cult-like coven of witches, which forbade male magic users from.. Basically existing. They were nasty people, brainwashing children and adults into supporting them and letting them do whatever they wanted. She was one of many children born there gifted with magic and was trained to control it from an early age, eventually choosing the unpopular craft of necromancy to specifically learn about. She met and became close to two other girls, Thera and Freya, who were very different from her. They grew up as best friends.

Eventually, Freya discovered that she was actually male, but had been raised as if he was female until he reached adulthood.. And was also half incubus. Let's just say things got very complicated, very fast, but it also explained a lot of things. Freya was soon tricked into killing everyone in their village.. Except Thera. He accidentally killed Seva when she had tried to stop him, but did not destroy the object she had previously placed her soul into, which allowed her to later come back as a lich. She had a lot of trouble coping with everything happening and Thera was very traumatized as well and ended up committing suicide. Not knowing what else to do, Seva chose to stay with Freya for a while, until his eventual death left her all alone in the world.. With nothing better to do with herself, and a need to avoid going insane from boredom, she took to travelling for a long time.. Until, eventually, her travels brought her to Videl.


Since arriving at Videl, she has found that it is quite a bit more eventful than many other places. Hardly a week in, and already many things had happened. Some more worth noting than others. There was the brutally murdered teacher on her first night. Meeting another teacher, who she noticed was pregnant.. Meeting some promising young students, or so others would probably call them. One student, Yarost, was particularly interesting. He managed to turn himself into a girl while trying to cast a simple levitation spell. That was certainly a unusual result. Making the acquaintance of the ghost, Cecile Videl, who taught her how to remove glitter from clothes. There was also the necromancer who was attacking the school. She didn't find him particularly worth paying attention to. They only crossed paths for a few minutes, and she had other things to do at the time that seemed more worth her time. The time since then has been relatively uneventful, save for a few newer faces appearing among the staff.


Goal: ???

Extra: She keeps a diary to help remind her of past events.. And she also makes sure to keep a note of important future events for the school.
Being willing to try her cooking will usually get a positive response from her. Just know that she will force you to eat every single bite, whether you want to or not, so you should go there with a plan of escape already prepared.
She has a skeletal dragon, which she has named Nirguri. It mostly stays in her room. To guard things.
Go ahead. Ask her to help you do something semi-complicated with a computer. And then sit back and watch it drive her crazy.
She has been using magic to keep it from being obvious at a glance that she is dead.
This is her first year at Videl.
