Name: Persephone Seren Stern (Perse — pronounced Per-see)
Age: 28
Race Inside the Magic Realm: (Astrological) Witch
Abilities: Magical abilities via spells and potions that revolve around the stars
Occupation: Astronomer (Avalon), Seller of spells and potions (Magic Realm)
Backstory:
Persephone was born to James and Josephine Stern. James was a professor of Greek Mythology and Josephine was an extreme lover of Astrology (to the point that other people would actually make fun of her for it). It was because of this combination that Persephone grew up knowing a lot about the stars. She became to love the stars so much that she became known as the "star girl." Everything she owned had stars and constellations on them. When she was old enough to go to college, she decided to go for Astronomy. The math part of it was hard, but she managed well enough to graduate and get a good job.
When Perse was twenty-four, her mother passed away and her father, now a retiree, was in a condition where he needed help most days. Persephone had to quit her job at an observatory and move back home. For the last four years, Perse has taken care of her father while doing some consultant work as an Astronomer. It doesn't pay the bills all that well, so she started to work part-time as a waitress. It wasn't long after she started working that a disc found her. When she put it in and turned it on, she found herself in another world.
In this world, she found that she had special abilities. She found herself being quite good at magic; such as, casting spells. She found quickly that she had more of an affinity for magic that involved the stars. It seemed fitting, any way. With the guidance of an older witch, Perse grew in magical strength. She learned how to cast better spells and how to brew potions. She has a habit for changing her appearance up. Usually she alternates between brown and silver hair (she can never choose, so it's a frequent change), but on some occasions she's been known to disguise herself as an old lady (but only if she feels she really needs to).
Perse loves to spend her time in the Magic Realm, but she still has her father to take care of, so she continues to go home frequently to do that. She's pretty sure that when he passes away, she'll end up staying in the Magic Realm permanently.
(*I honestly got the idea for her being an Astrological Witch from the webtoon The Witch and The Bull, so I'll probably draw some of her abilities/spells from there).
When she's in the Magic Realm, she spends a majority of her time in Aberdeen City; however, she is also known for travelling all over for work. She enjoys spending time in Monmouth Town.
Personality: Persephone is a kind soul with a kind heart. She's almost always present with a smile on her face and a bounce in her step. She's got quite a lot of energy, which is why she is always moving around and talking. Get her on the topic of something she likes (primarily, stars and space) and she will absolutely talk your ear off. It's a good way to distract her if, for whatever reason, you need to distract her.
Although Perse is kind, she also has quite a temper. She doesn't like it when people don't follow her instructions (if she needs to give out instructions, usually with potions or if someone is helping her out). She doesn't like it when people are cruel to others either, so she will absolutely step in and make it her own problem. She also loves to be in charge. She doesn't like it when she's not in control of a situation, so she prefers to lead rather than to follow. She also hates it when people are overly stupid — more along the line of choice, in that they are doing something stupid because they chose to. She will gladly talk circles around people who don't understand, too. It's really amusing.
