Magnolia Carnelian

## History

Many years ago, when the Verk Empire was still at the height and invaded the surrounding countries, Magnolia was born to a nobleman and his wife, that served as baron and baroness in their country. With rising tension, Magnolia was raised very sheltered in fear of assassins sent by the Empire, and as such did not experience a lot aside from the life at court. When the time had come and Verk forces advanced, her parents planned an evacuation towards the capital, but ultimately they were too late. When the forces attacked, Magnolia and her parents were taken as prisoners and used as slaves for one of the empire's nobles on the other side of the continent. Living in slavery, the young girl took a lot of abuse, even though her parents tried to shelter her from that too. She was hit regularly and depending on the mood of the man they had to serve, it got worse. One time, after the young girl had slipped and dropped a glass, the man picked up a shard of glass, slicing her across her left eye. Luckily her eye recovered but she still bears the scar to this day. Not long after this event, Magnolia took her chances, and by killing a drunken guard with a kitchen knife, she got the opportunity to make a run for it. After leaving the city, the young girl learned to take care of herself and eventually to defend herself. Eventually, she found a mentor that taught her the art of the sword, with which Magnolia became quite proficient. Using her skill, she began to fight against the Empire, striking their weak spots wherever she could and making a run for it. Adopting an alter ego, she became known as a fighter for revolution, wanted by the Empire with quite the sum of money on her head. Recently, the Empire finally fell, and even though she gained the freedom she always wanted, her fight was not over. Slaves were still abused, and as long as those in bondage were not treated like everyone else, no one would ever be truly free.

## Appearance

Magnolia is a young woman with pale skin, as well as pale blue eyes and long white hair, that is often pulled back into a braid on the right side, held in place with a silver-colored, icicle shaped tiara. She usually wears a blue sleeveless dress, and a usually deeper blue shrug with a raised collar, puffy sleeves and her family crest on her left sleeve. Her arms are covered by long, dark blue gloves with embedded red gems at the top. Both her gloves and the shrug feature silver trims, and she additionally wears a light blue, almost silver, corset styled belt featuring several pouches. Magnolia usually wears long, pale blue boots with some details and white frill, as well as wedged heels. Last but not least, she wears a pair of ruby earrings, one of the few things, that she managed to hide for the longest time, while she was enslaved. While wearing her boots, the woman is about 5'4'', dropping some inches while barefoot.

While Magnolia fought the Empire as a freedom fighter, she adopted an alter ego to protect her parents, as there still was a possibility of them being alive, aided by her inherent ability to magically change herself. Wearing a shallow red and black dress with black shorts underneath. Her forearms were covered by red armored gauntlets and solid black gloves. She wore black mid-thigh leggings with a subtle red splatter pattern and black heeled boots. While in this disguise, she had long black hair and bright red eyes.

## Personality

Surprisingly fitting for Magnolia's appearance, most people would describe the young woman as very cold. Most things in her life have been out of her control, so now she has become quite the rebel, set on making the decisions for herself now. She is irritable, confident in what she can do and this can come off as arrogant to others. Getting close to her can be hard, as she usually keeps her emotional distance from other people, but once one breaks that barrier, they would find a woman whose heart is not made of ice.

## Relationships

To be filled, as relationships are established

## Aspirations

Magnolia believes that as long as there are people in bondage, she will never be truly free of her past. As such she travels around a lot, using her alter ego from time to time to commit not so lawful acts in the name of justice.
