Chise Ordeis

Chise Ordeis is a member of the Ordeis Family but is treated as the black sheep because she doesn't have white hair or high magical powers.

## Appearance

Chise is a fair-skinned girl in her mid-teens with chin-length red hair (Later on, her hair has grown up to shoulder-length) and wide green eyes.

Her clothes vary, but she is mostly often seen with a red sweater, a green skirt and a green coat with knee-length brown boots.

She was gifted a necklace by Elias Ainsworth made from a cursed stone; whose hole was created naturally at the bottom of a river.

By looking through the centre, she can see the true form of Elias' acquaintances.

Another permanent addition, also a gift from Elias, is a ring she wears on her right index finger that was made by Angelica Barley.

The ring keeps her from absorbing too much magic.

One of Chise's arms were later changed due to falling under the Dragon's Curse as her arm has been transformed into a more wood-like appearance, increasing in size from the elbow and forward as it's covered in bandages and other restrictions.

As well as this, her left eye has been replaced with one of the eye of Cartaphilus.

The transplanted eye has taken on her colour and the arm has shrunken to its normal size since resolving the curses within her.

## Personality

Chise seems to be a typical teenage girl, though with a somewhat meek, subservient personality and issues with socialization, having had been considered an oddball by other children her age.

She also tends to become attached to others quickly, particularly those who show her kindness.

This exterior, however, belies a kind and courageous interior willing to go above and beyond in helping others, even at her own expense.

The story begins with Chise falling into severe depression and selling herself into slavery, not considering what may happen to her as a result and displaying no concern for her well-being.

When bought by Elias, she seemed fine being viewed as his experiment because he took her in when no one else would.

With time, however, it's apparent that she was worried that Elias would throw her aside.

From the beginning, she had little self-preservation and would place the well-being of others above her own health. She can be rash with magic, exhausting herself.

Nevin mentions that by putting herself down, she degrades the worth of her actions and the people they affect.

After speaking with Nevin and Lindel, she seems to have taken the steps forward to open herself up.

Despite her lack of self-confidence, Chise is extremely dedicated to her role as an apprentice and her studies. She is very intelligent, though is rather naive - best evidenced by the fact that she is often tricked by fairies and similar creatures, who derive joy from her confusion.

However, in recent developments, Chise has made up her mind to be an optimist, and displays newfound joy.

She is afraid of thunder, perhaps because she had to suffer it alone.

## Skills & Abilities

Sleigh Beggy are individuals who are naturally absorb magic from their surroundings, so much so that it wears on their bodies and shortens their lives.

It could be said that it was akin to having a lot of blood, but a weak heart to pump it.

Because of these traits, magicians are willing to pay a high price to have them as a tool.

Because of the amount of magic stored within their body and the ability to expend it greatly, they were hunted in the past to be used for that purpose and often died.

The College has made attempts to find a live one to study in the hopes of preserving them.

They also draw in fae and other supernatural entities, with Elias noting that those who weren't lucky enough to possess the Sight would be cursed with both good luck and bad, as they would not be aware of that they were attracting them.
