Isis

## Lore

Isis is a Witch that uses rare and deadly Dark Magic. As she was used by Niagara as a weapon, Isis never had the opportunity to hone and develop her skills properly. And thus had little to no control over her abilities, indiscriminately bringing death and pestilence wherever she went. Soon after the founding of Valencia City, Isis parted ways with Niagara and fled to the desolate and barren Celevana Desert, where she would spend the next 100 years in reclusivity.

## History

As a child, Isis was raised in a cult that worshipped and dabbled in the occult. They sought to transcend the rudimentary elements of the world, and create a new form of magic that would reign superior over all. To accomplish this, several experiments would be carried out on the young "vessels" that were available in spades in their secluded village. They would either be born there, or kidnapped from their original home. Isis grew up watching people her age be carried away daily, never to return. During her time being held prisoner, she had become well acquainted with one of the "handlers" who's sole duty was to feed the children. But after word spread of their fraternizing, the handler would be taken away, and Isis would be fed scraps. Leaving her alone for the majority of her stay. When it was her turn to be used as a vessel, Isis was void of emotion and feeling. And consequently a perfect vessel for the cult's nefarious desires.

After the success of the ritual, Isis used her newfound abilities lashed out on her captors, killing anything and everything in the area. After this catastrophic event, the cult was promptly dismantled. It is unknown whether or not Isis acted consciously.

## Teen Life

Soon after the incident, Isis was picked up and adopted by a wandering party of Magic Users. After being taken in, she was treated like the younger sister of the group and was trained and instructed on how to use her unique abilities. Although her form of Magic had never been seen before, they all took turns nurturing and consoling her. But little did they know, that the strange Magic that they had found in Isis was slowly killing them over time. All the while applauding her steady and constant increase in strength.

After months of training sessions, Isis' newfound friends came down with some sort of ailment, and even the experienced Cleric of the group had no clue on how to cure their friends. And eventually, they had all perished. Leaving Isis alone once again.

## Adult Life

As she grew older, Isis was known as the "Harbinger of Disaster". Due to her nomadic lifestyle, Isis never stayed in one place for too long. As she was either chased out of the settlement by frightened villagers, or prolonged exposure to her Magic turned the settlements into ghost towns. As this point in history was mired in conflict between Mages and Clerics, neither side wanted to accept her as an asset. As they both feared that she was a bad omen and would lead to nothing but calamity and death. Soon thereafter, she had made contact with another Witch by the name of Niagara Rotavelle.

Niagara too, at the time was discriminated against by the common folk. She studied forbidden scrolls and caused a great deal of pain to others all to further her knowledge in Water Magic, and was ostracized by her community. She used this common hardship as a means to compel Isis to use her Dark Magic to assist her in creating a place where people like them could live in peace, far away from the condemning eyes of the world. Hesitant at first, Isis eventually agreed to help Niagara with her efforts. They had traveled the world together, seeking a place to call their own. However, things would all change after one fateful night.

After traveling for some time, a prideful and dignified Niagara had gotten word of a person that sought to bring an end to her rampage. Hearing this, a majority of the Witches that had allied themselves had scattered. The only one that remained by Niagara's side was Isis, as she was the only person in who had managed to stay and be a constant presence in her life. And as a means to show appreciation to her, Isis had volunteered to confront this person.
