Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Lorelei Bauer, the 34 year old florist at Whimsy Bouquets originally from Cardinal Hill, WA. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're nurturing and evasive, but what you might not know is that they are a witch, and that they’re hiding something… ― Zazie Beetz, lesbian, woman, and she/her.

Lorelei in a nutshell -

Full name: Lorelei Johanna Bauer

Gender: Woman

Pronouns: She/Her

Age: 34

Birthday: December 3rd, 1957

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Sexuality: Lesbian

Magic: Witch

Occupation: Florist at Whimsy Bouquets

Lorelei’s beginnings -

Lorelei was born in Cardinal Hill in 1957. She was a single child in a family of witches. Her upbringing was plagued with financial troubles, and worrying about where the next meal would come from. She is not a stranger to sleeping under 4-5 blankets to keep warm, or spending the day at her parents' workplace instead of a daycare.

Her magical ability was not nurtured in her youth, and while she was not kept from learning about her history and powers, she did not have access to the time or resources that it would have required to formulate her powers more. She did come to rely on illusion magic however, as it became a reliable method for shoplifting. She did not tell her parents about this, due to them being sternly against thievery of any type.

She was able to gain regular employment at 16 and improve her finances somewhat. When she was 18 her parents moved away from Cardinal Hill, but Lorelei stayed behind to finish high school, as she felt comfortable supporting herself. She also didn’t want to leave, because she feared she would fall back into desperation.

Lorelei never fully explored the possibility of her being anything but straight, and when she started living alone she properly started dating, all men. Through countless failed relationships and constant questioning on why it's not like in the movies, she was able to discover her sexuality, and the first person she came out to was her partner at the time. While he was disappointed continuing the relationship wasn't possible, he was supportive of Lorelei during this time.

Lorelei started working at Whimsy Bouquets 6 years ago, and while not super passionate in the growing and maintenance of plants, she enjoys the arranging and design that comes with the job. She has also found that her experience with illusion magic has come in handy, as she likes to make all the flowers in the store have that pop of colour when a customer comes in.

An insight into Lorelei -

Lorelei is not very outgoing, she is not very courageous, and she is not very forthcoming when talking about herself. However she is caring.

Lorelei always makes sure that whenever she is eating with people, everyone will have a plate of food in front of them, a glass of water to their side, and if she can help it, a smile on their face.

She is not a very exciting person when it comes to going out or partying, she would much prefer sitting at home with a good book, but she tries her hardest to hang out with everyone around her, as long as they reach out to her first.

Lorelei is not the main character in her own story, and honestly she is fine with that. She likes the idea of improving other people's lives, and her philosophy is that if you've improved the day of another person, then it is a day worth living.
