Ainsley Flimean

Ruu Oka, a placeholder for Ainsley

Ainsley Flimean is a young, androgynous woman born in forres, malmafearn, aileron. She is very shy and has a great interest in the occult. She is a very well-learned witch, successful in many specialized competencies, and still studies magic and specialities, aspiring to become a high witch and grandmastress in Occultism one day.

## Backstory

Ainsley was born in Forres, Malmafearn to two loving parents. Their love never really reached Ainsley though. She had always been kind of distant, ever since she was a child. She had learned to read very early in life and picked up a habit of reading a book in a corner, silently. When she drew, she often made intricate geometric symbols reminiscent of sigils. When her parents recognized her drawings as something possibly magic related, they went ahead and bought her a pine wand with a black manedeer tail hair core. Her wand was a bit more powerful than the usual kid’s wand, and could actually cast some jinxes and even some minor hexes. This got her into real magic from a very young age. This initial interest grew quickly into a slight obsession as she turned to occult books.

Because her father, Artair Flimean, is a quite skilled and often handsomely paid blacksmith, Ainsley was able to afford going to, and residing at Fèidhdun School of Magic, to which she went when she was only 10 years old. She got a room in one of the towers there, where she started studying as many different subjects as she could. Enchantment, alchemy, foreign magic and lore (magic history) were her best subjects. When she got serious with her magic, she bought herself a beech wand with a Frystenàr whisker core. Shortly after buying it though, when she tried casting an explosion hex in class, the wand completely shattered. Now being afraid of using any other wood than the kind she’s familiar with, she quickly bought a pine wand with a red manedeer tail hair core.

She has a few friends at Fèidhdun, but really only a few. Most of her friends are about as creepy as Ainsley herself and are also interested in the occult. They have a small club which gathers now and then, where they discuss their new findings. Because of her vigorous studies, Ainsley has at least a loose grasp of almost everything esoteric and occult-related.

Because she has little friends but does often feel alone and doesn't really dare to converse with beings from other planes or worlds, which she easily could, Ainsley chose to adopt a cat She named the cat Mavis. She adopted him when she was 18 years old and Mavis only a few weeks. Ainsley doesn't know that Mavis is actually a male, hence the female name she has given to him. "A cat is a cat", in her mind. She has a love for Mavis rarely shared for anything or anyone else.

Nowadays, wizards at Fèidhdun who are inspired by her devotion, let her stay there for free. She still takes classes, she roams the libraries and practices her occult rituals.

## Appearance

Ainsley is a tall, androgynous woman in her early 20’s. She has quite a pale skin, as she doesn’t go outside much. She has long, black, messy wavy hair. She has small breasts, in tight fitting clothes you would notice them, but since she always wears a deep dark blue robe, you can’t see them at all. She always holds a very wide stare. Next to her blackish blue robes, she always wears a witch’s hat, a simple but big one, made with the same fabric. The bottom side of the rim is made of a dark red fabric. Her hat looks as messy as her hair, the tip being a bit crumpled. The rim, though, is still pristine and in model. Inside of her robe, she has several pockets which hold all kinds of trinkets: cards, voodoo pins, potions, herbs etc. Her wand and athame are sure to be in one of those pockets too. Wherever she goes, she always takes a book with her which she carries under her arm. Most of the time, that would be her notebook: “Libra Exoterismi”.

## Behaviour

Ainsley is usually quite silent and a little fidgety. If she speaks, she speaks with a soft voice with a slightly threatening touch to it. She has a truly creepy aura around her which most people find threatening, though she is generally nice and people that do know her would describe her as “sweet and compassionate”. She often sits silently, reading her book and/or scribbling in it, if she’s seen in public at all. Most of the time, she’s hidden away in her room in one of the towers of Fèidhdun, fiddling with some occult trinket or studying up on some outlandish esotery.

She is very attached to her possessions but doesn’t really dare tell people who might be mishandling it. Instead, she gets really scared and either shakely, stuttery and politely asks if they can put it back, or gets a small panic attack if it’s something dangerous. Most of her possessions are in good condition because of this, which is evident from her witch’s hat. She bought it when she was only 12 and it still looks fine, while she wears it every day. She’s too scared to use her wand for even the most mundane of things, “for it might break and then she would have to get a new one which might be just as temperamental als her last wand”. This has lead to her now trying to learn hand sematics instead of wand sematics for her spells.

## Notable possessions

Ainsley used to own a beech-Frystenàr whisker wand, but it got shattered after trying out an explosion hex. She now owns a Pine wand with a red manedeer tail hair core.

Having a strong interest in the occult, she owns an Athame which she carries around everywhere she goes.

Ainsley is never seen without her notebook which she calls the "Libra Exoterismi"
