Doe Hawthorne (WIP for now)
-- Doe
At first glance, an aloof, no-nonsense teenager with something to prove, which is half true. Working as an apprentice to the solitary Witch Cordelia Hawthorne, Doe still has a lot to learn about how to use her powers. She's never actually... done an exorcism before, but she's watched plenty, and how different can that really be?
Table of ContentsBackstory
Doe doesn't remember much of anything before her 14th birthday, but she never had the need. For as long as she could remember, it had been her, and her Mentor, Cordelia Hawthorne, making her, Doe Hawthorne.
Cordelia's focus is in end of life, and afterlife care. She does funerary practices, as well as exorcisms, and has been passing these practices down to Doe. Working so closely with the dead, Cordelia was often rumored to work in necromancy, a magic heavily looked down upon. All allegations have been denied, however.
Doe takes great pride in her mentor, defending her vehemently if any mention of dark magic is made regarding either of them. Her firey temper doesn't help these fights, and Cordelia sincerely wishes she would stop. Part of the reason for their ridicule is the patron Cordelia has gotten their powers from. Katara, the Goddess of Curses and bad luck. Worshiping her, they are allowed to use her powers of manipulation, gaining access to strings of fate that they can do with what they please (elaborated on in abilities section.) |

Personality
Doe tends to come off as cold, or mysterious at first glance, with how she never talks, and tends to loom in the corners of rooms. She is often joked to be confused with the Ghost she is supposed to exorcize. In reality, she tends to space out, often in another world. Doe is very honest, wearing her heart on her sleeve, though this, and the fact that she has to quickly write things down to communicate them, result in her coming off as blunt at best, and uncaring, or even mean at worst.
Despite her habit of zoning out and wandering away, even in important moments, Doe is very loyal, and will defend the honor of anyone she cares about with a passion. She tends to have some trouble making friends, being very used to solitude, and the way she comes off to others, but she does not prefer to be alone.

Abilities
✦ Weaving magic
The magic Doe was taught is very string based, her spells are created by sets of glowing strings she can create at will from her hands.
From these, she can create a circular string, and make cats cradle patterns to achieve different spells
on their own, the strings can these can be used to bind, or puppet, other people/spirits. There is a set amount of force they can take before snapping, though.
✦ Sigils
Doe has extensive knowledge of Sigils, making them and how to weave them together to create the strongest set of them. She creates talismans to be sold, and adorns many of her clothes with embroidery of her favorites "guide my hand" on both of the sleeves of her jacket, and one of protection on the back
