Genevieve Hannik

## Personality

Gen to her friends - that means you - is an absolute ray of blinding sunshine. She has absolutely no fear of anything, and a naive trust in the general populace that often gets her into trouble. Her shop is crowded with plants and succulents, many of which have names scribbled in paint pen on their pots. A firm believe in "friendship is magic", she will attempt to be friends with literally anyone. Her shop is full of books just looking for the right person, and Gen rarely charges money. Crystals line the shelves, and there's a feeling when you pass the stacks like a cat, or several, are trying to get your attention. It's a warm, slightly vibrating, welcome feeling - unless you mean harm, in which case, that feeling becomes hot, heavy, and suffocating.

While one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, there can be a crazy streak visible. Mess with her adopted people and she will end you. She has some pretty screwed up knowledge, and is used to keeping a small arsenal of weapons, since she can't rely on her magic to always work the way she wants it to. She will always give a person the benefit of the doubt, but once that's gone, if you're trying to hurt someone, don't do it around Gen. Her sub-machine gun's name is Saguaro and you will immediately meet it.

You will never leave Gen hurting, hungry, or empty-handed. She can often be found completely mentally focused reading a book out in the open (she will not hear you calling), or ADHD-ing her way around town, having entirely forgotten *why* she was there. Thank God for benefactors. She lives above her shop.

## History

Genevieve Hannik *was* an Herbalist - more a Green Witch than anything. She trained most of her life in her parents' footsteps, moving to a boarding school in her home town of Zutphen in the Netherlands when they died in an explosion. They had been "fiddlers" as her father called it, trying to tinker new medicines with herbs and magic. They had little caution and this end had been somewhat expected. Having no one else in the world, her Great Uncle George in America sponsored her education. She visited him on holidays in Washington state, and spent each holiday up to her ears in books of magic, as Gruncle George owned a bookshop filled with books of magic - and a few selections of fiction in the front. Education well in hand, with extra help from grouchy Mr. George, Gen graduated with flying colors with a specialty in healing paranormal creatures.

Genevieve was called unexpectedly right as she was about to sign on a property in Zutphen to open her first Herbalist practice, and immediately packed up and moved to Washington to take over running George's shop and his *other* responsibilities. It became clear after two years that the book that gave George the most issues was pulling in all sorts of chaos. It was a literal beacon for all sorts of nasty things, and Gen hadn't been able to keep up - not even with help from her neighbor and George's ex-Sentry, a vampire named Tilde (Mathilde). A quiet living Anarch and ex-fleshcrafter who owned the hardware shop next door, she suggested Gen move George's shop to New Albion in Texas, where they might be more capable and equipped to handle everything the odd book threw at them.
