Character name: Rachel Shaker and Rosewisp Character canon: Original Canon point: Some time before the magical tournament Physical Description: Image of Rachel's PB, Rosewisp's PB, PB for monster form (note that their monster form is much smaller than that, more like 10 feet tall) About the Character: At first glance, it's a world where young mages, basically magical girls and boys and enbys, fight monsters with the help of familiars, cute creatures which appear to awaken their magical powers. Then at the age of eighteen, they give up their magic for the next generation. Or so the lie goes. The reality is that long ago some mages engaged on a scheme to harvest magical power to use to prolong their lives and enrich themselves. So they turned some monsters into familiars and had them tell the young mages the lie about having fight monsters until eighteen and then give up their powers. To secure this arrangement, they installed killswitchs in the familiars to be triggered, turning them into monsters, if the familiar's young mage didn't give up their magic.
For the first 11 years of her life, Rachel felt that something was amiss but couldn't put a finger on it other than she wasn't comfortable with being treated as a boy. Soon after her 11th birthday, her magical powers awakened and she received Rosewisp, her familiar. Rosewisp was a monster until the elder mages gave her intelligence and a cute form and made her agree to serve their purposes. The first thing Rachel with her new power did was try turning into a girl. And then she kept doing it because she liked it but couldn't pin down why. She also played around with other forms and generally had a blast, though in the end, she ended up with all female forms because she didn't like other ones. She also played with many different powers, losing interest in entire powersets before finally stablizing into a powerset of shapeshifting, flowers, and butterflies. Rosewisp encouraged her in those endeavors and even some mischief, having found a fun friend in her mage. It was a big and enjoyable change from being a mindless monster. But the knowledge of the inevitable end when Rachel would have to give up her magic made Rosewisp sad.
At the age of 13, after two years of combat experience, Rachel figured out that she liked being a girl because she's a girl. After that point, she shifted to permanent girl mode and stopped responding to her old name, asking others to use Rachel instead. At this point, her mage status was effectively outed to everyone she knew, because it's hard to overlook someone suddenly turning into a girl. That caused mild chaos in her life before her parents decided to simply move to somewhere people didn't know her. Rosewisp supported and comforted her, helping her deal with losing her friends. Rachel threw herself into her monster hunting work, focusing on helping others as a distraction. Eventually she made new friends, but monster hunting was still her passion.
At the age of 16, she began formally but secretly dating her familiar, who had grew up along with her. They'd been best friends, but over the years it'd grew into something more. This caused much Concern in many people, but Rachel refused to hide it. Meanwhile, Rosewisp became more and more melancholy as Rachel approached the age of 18 and told her to accept it and give up her magic. But when the time came, Rachel rejected it, causing Rosewisp's killswitch to be activated, the very thing the familiar'd been dreading. Immediately, Rachel sensed Rosewisp's panic and felt her own magic fading away. As Rosewisp began to transform into a monster, Rachel did the first thing that entered her mind: she tried fusing with her to stop the transformation.
It worked, but it left them in one body, part mage, part familiar, and part monster. It was a confusing time and they quarrelled over Rachel's action, but in time they smoothed things over and adapted to their new life... and to being an outlaw. Both Rachel and Rosewisp enjoyed the newfound freedom, even if they didn't enjoy being attacked by younger mages. Regardless, they went around doing whatever struck their whim, saving people, stopping monsters, having fun, making new friends among other outlaws, and so on. As they interacted with said outlaws, they ended up entangled a year after the fusion in a plan to overthrow the elder mages. Just as they were going to go with their allies to a tournament held by the elder mages, they encountered a rift.
Rachel at first impression is a coarse girl given to casual profanity and prone to mischief or at least shittalking and shitposting. But at her core, she cares about other people and has literally fought for them. It's her biggest motivation to fight monsters, though she'll freely admit she's enjoyed using tricky tactics or just plain showing off. She has a sometimes black sense of humor instructed by years of fighting monsters and seeing others' deaths, but is quick to apologize if it upsets people.
Rosewisp at first impression is a polite being who speaks in formal language, but that impression's quickly destroyed by her sense of mischief, and she's often conspired with Rachel to have some fun. She's just as capable of shittalking, but in a different style. She had a fatalisic streak, but that's largely faded since their fusion defeated what seemed an inevitable fate. However, traces of it still remain. When she isn't engaging in mischief, she has a caretaker nature and is responsible for their shared body's neat appearance. She's still trying to make up for her monster days when she terrorized people, though she barely recalls them.
Character abilities: Rachel's abilities are as such: - Fluent in English and in ASL which she learned because of a deaf cousin. - Proficient pranker, decent at stealth - Interent saavy. - Eight years of fighting experience. - Magical girl form with the usual increased physical capabilities to allow her to duke it out with monsters. - Shapeshifting. She can take a variety of forms ranging in size from mouse to elephant, though using larger animal forms in combat has fallen by the wayside with her access to Rosewisp's monster form. Also, Rachel is permanently shapeshifted into a girl to the point where it's become her natural form. - Butterfly powers. She can use butterfly themed attacks (which she often mixes with flowers) or summon swarms of them, usually to harass and slightly wound (they're attack butterflies okay) her enemies but sometimes just for aesthestics. - Flower powers. Not only can she use flower themed attacks (which she often mixes with butterflies), she can cause flowers to grow even out of unlikely spots, and she often uses this to tangle up enemies and sometimes just to make the scenry pretty.
Rosewisp's abilities are as such: - Same language fluencies as Rachel, though pre-fusion her body's lack of proper hands prevented her from signing in ASL. - Better at stealth - Familiar form. * Unclear species, quadpedal with horns and floral features. (Picture linked in description section) * Can speak. * Can meld into shadows, holdover from monster days. * Can maniuplate things with her 'tails' and has minor utility telekinesis for when that fails. - Monster form. * Sort of a large (10 feet) shadowy humanoid with red eyes. It used to be far less humanoid, but the fusion with Rachel influenced it. * Basically a brute in terms of physical capabilities. * Can meld into and manipulate shadows, even attacking with them. * Hard for the nonmagical to focus their eyes on. (A general quality of monsters.)
Because of the fusion, they can access each others' forms and supernatural powers. They can also coordinate together so that one 'pilots' the body and the other uses a magical ability.
Inventory: Large purse with the following in it: - Black market and untraceable smartphone. - Portable video game system. - Keys to the family home, though she hasn't visited in a while. She still calls, though. - Assorted pens and notepads. - Saucy vampire romance novel. - Hygiene products. - Trail mix snack.
