Jamie Monarch

Thanks to Sangled for these pictures!

### Description

Jamie Monarch is one of the main protagonists of LMRP and is closely associated with the MNA, attending Salem Magic Academy with them. Jamie is depicted as having medium-length brown hair, which she puts up, brown eyes, being somewhat short, and thin.

Jamie's personality is very reclusive. She initially starts out as very shy to the rest of the MNA, but opens up as time goes on.

### Story

Jamie was born and raised in an unknown area, presumably in the magic wilds on the borders of one of the many earth-mirroring pocket dimensions. She was kept away from society, abused, and had nothing to do but master her magic with plants, which was the only thing that made her happy. She took care of all of the surrounding flowers and trees, giving them supplements of mana to help them grow. These plants mark the location of Jamie's old home- even now- since the plants were given an abundance of mana that increased their lifespans far beyond the typical lifespan of these plants. Jamie was eventually enrolled in a private magical high school somewhere in southern Dissociative Salem. The staff there were just as abusive as her parents, and upon Senator Remira Castell's intervention, the school was shut down and Jamie was taken into foster care when she was 14 years old. Jamie was quickly adopted by mundane foster parents who were close to a mage working under Castell at the time. Her foster parents took wonderful care of her, and even got clearance to move to a rural area of Dissociative Salem near some other mundane residences. With no more abuse, a better school, and concerned parents, Jamie's grades skyrocketed and she applied to SMA, where she got a near-immediate acceptance from an impressed administrator. She was put in a dorm with Avonda, Delphi Iorra, Alice Goodson, and Jaz Relic, and became part of the MNA.

Jamie graduated SMA and started a small botany shop near Alice's corporate building, where she made and sold magical plant supplements, as well as selling magically enhanced plants, rare species of magical flora, and mundane flora that does not naturally grow in the pocket dimensions.

  Spoiler  With the death of Alice Goodson, Jamie's wife, in 2031, Jamie's psyche began to take a very bad turn and she started to lose her sanity. She blamed Noah Relic, the leader of the strike on Remira Castell, for Alice's death. This was made worse when Noah's spirit fragment that housed itself in Eren Kaze was released to the MNA, and she saw the flashback of their duel. She awakens to the full extent of her necromantic powers, which she had inherited by blood, shortly before Alice's death. At Noah and Alice's funeral, Jamie uses these abilities to temporarily project Noah and Alice's spirits into the material world, where they talk to the MNA briefly. When Jamie expresses her feelings of blame towards Noah, he agrees, blaming himself, while Alice disagrees with both of them and says that Remira Castell should be the only one to receive blame for their deaths. The rest of the MNA take's Alice's side, but Jamie remains ignorant. Her broken sanity is shown by less discussion with the MNA, increased aggression in general, and massive outbursts on Remira Castell, disregarding battle strategy and letting her emotions get in the way.

### Magic Proficiencies

Jamie's magic is different from most mages, since she has inherited special necromantic abilities thought to only pass down a specific bloodline. These abilities allow her to use spectral magic, enter and exit the afterworld at will (though she hasn't realized this yet), and project spirits into the material world. Her other, and main magic proficiency is with various flora (plants), both magical and not. She is shown to be able to make plants change in size very quickly, use them to exert great forces on people and objects, grow them at her feet, and move them at will.

### Trivia

Jamie's necromantic powers are a reference to Legacy Noah's old necromantic powers, but adjusted to properly fit the narrative and setting.
