Character History: You're a witch, from a long and infamous line of witches. Unfortunately, there are so damn many Grimwald witches that your name alone is cause for suspicion--especially since you're one of the country Grimwalds, who are known to be more powerful.
You thought it a stroke of luck to be sent to Valkynburg to help your aunt at her
dressmaking shop, as opposed to staying in the forest and being expected to marry one
of your pig-nosed cousins. You thought it an even better stroke of luck when the
Contessa von Hartzenhald, one of the Suzereigna's ladies in waiting, hired you on as
one of her attendants, giving you lots of work doing alterations (which can be done in
no time with a stitch cantrip) leaving you time to wander the palace. And it was an
even better stroke of luck, when between the royal herb garden and the Suzereigna's
potpourri dishes, you managed to pinch all the ingredients needed for the Find Familiar
ritual.
You thought the worst thing that could happen was getting a toad. You were wrong.
You got a beautiful, lovely, intelligent Siamese kitten--one from the Suzereigna's first
litter, from her gift from the Princess of Cathay, meant to be a gift to the Duchess of
Karzille. Mei Ling, your kitten, doesn't understand why she shouldn't follow you all
over the palace, or that serving girls are not meant to have royal Siamese cats, and
because of this, you were caught. Your crime? Bewitching one of the priceless kittens.
Or stealing one. It really doesn't matter. The Suzereigna wants her kitten back so she
can use it to bribe the duchess, and the old harridan is anything but clueless. She
knows that if she kills you, the kitten will be free, and she can do with it as she
pleases.
|
Of course, while the Suzereigna may be without pity, she isn't without political sense,
and she realizes that public execution of pretty young girls, especially for playing with
kittens, would not be a popular move to make. She'd probably just poison you and
have done with it. But she'll give you a chance--recover the crown jewels and you'll
receive the imperial favor in front of the court. At which point she will grant you
anything you ask, within reason. She suggests you ask for one of the imperial kittens,
which will give you your familiar and your closet pardon at the same time, make for
good politics, and give her a reason to keep the duchess waiting and kissing up to her
until the next litter.
Just in case you decide to just flee the capital, also know that the Suzereigna has assassins
and spies everywhere, and tracking down a young witch and a stolen kitten would be
just the sort of thing to make a good training mission.
Then there's Walter, the young soldier who was guarding the jewels when the Star
was stolen. He's so handsome. You'd worshipped him from afar in the palace, the
most handsome of all the guards, and now you're right next to him. But he's so
religious too. He'd revile you as a witch if he found out. Or would he? You don't
know. You did a divination with an apple peel to find your True Love's first initial
and it was a W. Is that for Walter? You don't know. But you have a hopeless crush
on him anyway.
