Autumn Brood

**Autumn Brood** (born 13 September, 3013) was born into a time of uncertainty and fear. Time and time again, skirmishes broke out between Wizards and Sorcerers. Sometimes they even occurred within the respective factions. Autumn was not only accidental, but she was not supposed to survive her birth. Born in deep space on a transport, Autumn was not only underweight, but also could use her magic immediately. She was treated as a special case and needed to be sent to be treated by Wizard doctors instead of normal ones. Her unnamed mother, both freaked out and unsure if she could raise such a child, contacted her mother, Elizabeth Mcmanus. She in turn contacted the only man she could trust, Jacob Brood. Though she wanted to love and care for the child, she felt that the Headmaster of Terminus would do just fine.

## Biography

### Early life

Autumn was born to Autumn's mother and an unknown father on 13 September 3013. She was her mother's only child, and came as a surprise as her mother was not that old. Her father, wanting nothing to do with her, was nowhere to be found following this event. Autumn has stated many times that she missed her mother, but does not harbor ill-will toward her. The same cannot be said of her father. Autumn does not know much about him, but felt that he should have been there for her mother.

Upon turning seven, Autumn began intense training to become a Wizard. She eagerly set to work learning Ice Magic in her free time, attending classes, and even learning directly from her grandfather. Not long after this, it was discovered that Autumn could indeed utilize every base form of magic. This included: Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Storm Magic, Imagination Magic, Death Magic, and Life Magic. The ability to use all base forms of magic is called Balance Magic, but so few individuals have it that its rarely acknowledged.

In addition to this, Autumn invented her own spells and forms of magic that have yet to be replicated. Two of these being Diamond Magic and Spirit Magic the former being used to create barriers and sharp projectiles, and the latter being used to summon the energy of those around her to empower herself before returning it. It is theorized that, if Autumn wanted to, she could also use this form to summon phantoms.

### Autumn's Training

During her time in school, Autumn preformed the best in her class. At times, when asked to duel her teachers, she would even defeat them. Seeing her progress as exceptional and knowing that one day, he would need a successor; her grandfather approached her with an opportunity. Remain a normal Wizard with extraordinary power, or train to replace him one day. Not wanting to disappoint him, Autumn took up the mantle of the Headmistress in training. Though she did not know when she would replace her grandfather, she still trained like it could be in the near future.

Autumn's training was brutal, but her knowledge and skill with magic saw her through. Another factor that helped her drastically was her high mana count, which allowed her to cast spells without the need for a fallback weapon. She learned the spells that the headmaster used, the headmaster before him, and even some from each individual professor. In all of her missions, she had never killed a single opponent, instead opting to spare them every time no matter how much more effort it took. This painted her in a very positive light, but also led to the pressure of being a role model to all other Wizards. A pressure that she says weighs on her everyday, but somehow she still continues to maintain that smile.

By the age of 11, Autumn had mastered almost everything that was put in front of her, including her grandfather's signature spell: flight. The reason this spell was so difficult was because it required the upmost concentration while also casting other spells. By now, it seemed like she could conquer any task given enough time. She had earned the Headmistress robes, her hat, and of course the golden bands that she wore on her arms. These signified that she was nearing the end of her training, and from this point, she had to teach herself. The moment the current Headmaster dies, she will be hurried into the role.
