[ SYDNEY SWEENEY, TWENTY-THREE, SHE/HER/HERS ] - Have you seen LUCINDA HAUSMANN lately? From what I’ve heard, they’re a CISFEMALE WITCH. People around town have said that they’re TALENTED, DETERMINED, AND DREAMY but also NAIVE, TEMPERMENTAL, AND JUDGEMENTAL. Rumor has it, they’re AGAINST rebuilding the glamour around Halloweentown.

hi friends!! my name is paige and this is my baby witch lucy. i LOVE halloweentown, i watch the movies every october and am so excited to get to play my baby witch here with yall! so heres what you need to know about her:

lucinda was born and raised in halloweentown to a single mother, Beatrix, and a member of the nyx coven

she comes from a long line of nyx women, and her family is believed to be able to follow their line back to some of the earliest witches

lucy never knew her father, and her mother never talked about him. it was always just the two of them

for most of her childhood, lucy was fascinated with being a witch and loved using her magic whenever she could

her mother, however, tried to instill the nyx coven ways of not using magic frivolously. lucy learned to hide her constant use of magic, especially when they would venture out of halloweentown.

when she was 15, lucy found her mother’s journal from the year she was born and discovered that her father was a powerful circe coven warlock, and suddenly her entire life made more sense

she finally understood why she did not always fit in with the other witches in her coven, why she loved using magic, and felt more connected to her father

after searching for him, lucy discovered that her father left halloweentown the year she was born.

like other young witches her age, lucy went to halloweentown university and studied divination, while secretly taking classes in mortal world history. 

her life was completely planned out for her—she would go on to take over her mother’s store, the Broom Booth, and eventually go on to teach herself at halloweentown university.

when the glamour around halloweentown was dropped, beatrix was one of the first people to say it was a bad idea

lucy, however, had other ideas

one night, shortly after the glamour was dropped, lucy packed up her stuff and left home with just a backpack of clothes and her father’s name written down on a piece of paper

for the last year, lucy worked odd jobs, eventually finding her way to california where she found her father

when she finally met her father, it was brief, because her mother found her and brought her back to halloweentown

this was the day after the threat from the knights of the iron dagger.

since then, lucy has been back working at the broom room under her mother’s watchful eye

she did, however, leave her information with her father before she was brought back to halloweentown and she hopes every day he will show up, or call her, or somehow come in contact with her

personality

heavily based on: amelia shepherd, piper halliwell, caroline forbes, rachel green, jake peralta, and lorelai gilmore

shes the type of person to put fun over being serious most of the time

like i said, lucy loves magic almost to the point of being reckless with it

she wants to take advantage of all her powers have to offer, and that can sometimes get her into trouble (especially within her coven)

when things get serious, however, she is the first person to jump in front of you in order to save your life, the type to drain all of her magic to save the people she loves

she just wants to be able to make her own decisions because a lot of her life has been her mother making all her decisions for her

the most bubbily, kind person youll meet

very easy to be friends with her

thats all ive got right now! but please, like this post to plot with lucy and i!!

BIOGRAPHY.

Sylvie Moulin grew up not knowing much money. Their mother tried her best to raise her on their own all things considered and Sylvie never met her dad. They didn’t really have many friends and spent a lot of time reading - many books being about the supernatural (including werewolves). Reading was their escape and it brought them comfort as their skin got thicker. It wasn’t long before Sylvie found themselves running with a bad group, causing her mother to grow to resent her the more rebellious and temperamental she became. The teen frequently made excuses that her mother wasn’t allowing them to be independent and this caused quite the rift between them and the only family they had ever had.

Sylvie never went to college; they never really thought they were made for it. Instead, they moved out the first chance that she could to continue the same lifestyle she had already been engaging in. They had barely graduated high school and seriously believed that there were no prospects out there for them. It wasn’t until they was at a party that she crossed paths with a werewolf, particularly a member of the Callahan pack. The two became fast friends and it wasn’t long before he opened up to them: he was a werewolf. While she was first sent into a state of shock, Sylvie realized something: they had a shot to become one of those powerful creatures she had read about growing up. At first, he fought them but after weeks of begging, Sylvie was bitten. Yes, Sylvie Moulin chose to become a werewolf and hadn’t once looked back.

It wasn’t until a couple months later as they were learning about their new form that they got a call from their mother: she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and Sylvie needed to come home. While Sylvie and their mother had been torn apart for years, Sylvie dropped everything and told the wolf that she’d find him when everything was okay again. After telling them where to find him, Halloweentown, the two did not speak for several months and Sylvie went back to Georgia, where they would live out the last year of their mother’s life. While for years her child had been separated from her, Sylvie’s mother died knowing how loved she was and how much her child wished she hadn’t acted the way they did. Although the pair got closure, Sylvie beats themselves up every day for letting her own wants get between them and the years she could have spent with the woman who used to be her best friend.

While it had been a year since they were separated from the wolf who turned them, Halloweentown never really left their head. Over the next couple weeks they packed up their stuff before relocating, where they were initiated into the Callahan pack shortly after. While she is a bit of a Wild Card, they have earned the respect of many of the other wolves around her. They may not listen to many, but she is grateful to Benjamin for taking them in and giving them the big family that she never really had. She will live and die for every single one of them. This is why she believes in restoring the glamor - she believes that the smaller circle the pack can keep, the safer they will be. Do not cross them or another member of the pack, unless you have a death wish. While others may have the power to hold themselves back, Sylvie does not.

BACKGROUND (DEATH TW, MURDER TW, RACISM TW);

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Valerio had a rather simple life as he was growing up. He had a brother, a sister, a devoted mother and father. Charlotte worked as a seamstress for the upper class, while his father was a construction worker. Because of the social climate at the times, they didn’t make as much as they would have liked, but they survived.

His teenage years were spent wishing he could do more, go further with his life than the people around him. He had big dreams of becoming a musician one day, and he often found himself spending a lot of his free time playing guitar on his stoop.

His dreams began to change the older he grew and the more prominent the civil rights movement became. This is also around the time his life as he knew it changed. He noticed his father wasn’t aging past what appeared to be his thirties, as his mother’s body became tired, brittle, and riddled with arthritis. This was around the time the news was given to him - his father was a phoenix, over two-hundred years old. His mother, however, was a human. They weren’t quite sure which of their three children would inherit the gene, if at all. But they weren’t exactly excited to find out.

By the time the early sixties hit, his mother was nearly seventy, and Valerio was a thirty-something year old man. His aging had slowed, and he was rather certain he had inherited the gene, though he wasn’t sure. With his mother growing weak and dying from old age, he did his best to put forth a change she could see in the world. He started going to protests and rallies, returning home just to tell her about everything. She’d often smile at him kindly, but beg him to settle down and give her grandchildren like his siblings had. But Valerio had no interest in that. He had a bigger purpose in the world, he just knew it.

In the summer of 1963, his mother passed away, leaving him heartbroken. It was at this point he started to notice all that was going on around him. His siblings had grown up and had children as mentioned before, but they were aging. It was at this point he was certain that he was the only phoenix to be born of his parents. A tragic fact that haunted him.

Seeing as his peers were beginning to change faster than he was, Valerio decided to move on and avoid suspicion (at the advice of his father). He moved to Philadelphia and became even more entangled in the civil rights movement. Just because his mother was no longer there to see it, didn’t mean that he didn’t want a better future. He envisioned a world in which his nieces and nephews could flourish, and their children, and their children after that.

His stay in Philadelphia didn’t last when he received a phone call from his sister. His father had been murdered - or so the assailant thought. While the siblings knew he would regenerate, they weren’t sure how it would affect their lifestyles. So he returned home hoping to help his father (who was now posing as his cousin), to move and find a safer place to settle.

This is where the two of them met the Knights of the Iron Dagger for the first time. They were determined to knock Elijah down, and find a permanent solution. A decision was made. Elijah would go north, to Canada, and Valerio would find another place to settle. For the next few years, the young musician traveled all over, trying to find a safe place. It was a stop in Boston, where he met someone that alerted him to Halloweentown, where he finally found his safe haven.

It seemed like a Utopia. A town where people of all different species, genders, races, and religions could come together in peace. It was too good to be true, or so he thought. Upon actually moving to the town, he discovered that what he was told was the truth. It didn’t take him long to settle into town and make friends. This was around the early 1970s.

Valerio’s been in town ever since. He’s made a living as a music tutor, a performing musician for parties, and now owns his very own record store. He’s had a full, happy life. At least, until the glamour was dropped. While many in Halloweentown were born there and don’t know the true threat, Valerio has seen it in action. He won’t say anything, for fear of alarming his fellow residents, but he lives in fear of the day the Knights burst into town. And he knows it’s only a matter of time.

BREIF OVERVIEW;

Disordered Eating Mention

All it took was a youthful promise to change the course of Maeve’s life. Promise you’ll eat when I ask you to. A silly promise, one she made to a boyfriend who seemed to think that a promise was enough to force her disordered eating out. It had seemed like nothing to smile and lie, pretty teeth flashing as she repeated the words, “I promise I’ll eat when you ask me to.” She had known it was a mistake then when his baby soft face turned sharp enough to cut. 

“Do you know what the Fae Folk are, Maevie?” And suddenly her irish grandmother’s warnings on promises and name stealing bounced through her skull, cracking the veneer of control she felt she had. She was bound now, tricked into a promise with someone claiming to be fae. Maeve was superstitious enough not to attempt to break her promise. 

So she ate when he asked and it felt almost okay for a moment, even if she had been tricked body and soul into force rehabilitation. She never forgave him, never forgot the power of his words, but at least she had been lulled into a sense of relaxation, he had never tried to trick her again. Or she had thought until she saw that smile again, nearly a year later when he used his promise to make her eat something he brought her.

Human to fae she passed. The world tilted, her control gone, introduction to something sharp and different in the hands of the man who changed her. He was kinder to her now that she was not human, but his pleasure dwindled and soon he became bored. There was a mixture of relief and horror that washed through her as he told her his plan to drop her off somewhere she could learn the world. She wouldn’t be tethered to him any longer, beholden to his lessons on the world, but she would be alone.

FACTS;

Maeve has literally just been dropped off in town, without a place to stay or a job. She considered trying to survive in the world without finding any fae to help her, but she’s terrified of the harm that she could potentially do with her newfound status

She was working as a dog groomer in Raleigh, North Carolina while finishing her degree in music production, she did not finish it. 

Maeve moved away from Portland, Oregon at nineteen and left behind her family. They still talk constantly, but her sudden change in species has had her pulling away from them

Her father was adopted into an Irish family and so Maeve grew up hearing all about Irish mythology and irish fae; this partly contributes to her general fear of what she’s become

Though she is terrified of the situation she had been placed in, she refuses to let this keep her down for too long, if only to spite the fae who turned her

Overview

Full Name: Romina Natalia Dias

Vessel: Juliana Ortega

Nickname(s): Ro, Mina

Age: Unknown

Sexuality: Bisexual

Pronouns: She /Her

Face Claim: Diane Guerrero

Height: 5′ 2″

Scars/Birthmarks/Distinguishing Markings: No visible scars. Heart birthmark behind her ear

introvert / extrovert / ambivert / risk-taker / cautious / organized / disorganized / close-minded / open-minded / calm / anxious / restless / disagreeable / agreeable / in-between / patient / impatient / outspoken / reserved / leader / follower / flexible / empathetic / un-empathetic / optimistic / pessimistic / realistic / traditional / modern / in-between / hard-working / lazy

◦ practices calligraphy ◦ has tea in the afternoon ◦ has a noticeable birthmark ◦ gets uncomfortable in a place with no windows ◦ good at card games

Death tw

Romina took over her vessel in a moment of need and panic for the both of them. She had just been expelled and saw her previous vessel killed and Juliana was on the verge of dying. They needed each other. Since then, she hasn’t been able to talk to Juliana, even though she knows she’s there.

She is convinced that she’s smarter than almost everyone she meets and there’s a good chance she is. It’s one thing to be unintelligent but willing to learn or trying to, that she can tolerate; but to be passionless and lazy? Absolutely not.

Romina's favorite flower is a daisy because of its versatility and its simplicity. It comes in so many colors and they are so plentiful. Plus have you ever seen a field of wild daisies? It’s like the things dreams are made of. Not that she would tell anyone that. She tends to find her happiness in small things like this.

Once you win her over and see the person under the facade she put up, she’s completely different. She's a bit of a chameleon, always changing herself. Romina is still quite stubborn once she has made a decision. It takes a lot to convince her to change her mind. But she softens up a bit. She

If Romina has a feeling about someone, she doesn’t usually say it outright. She’ll hold on to it so that she can watch for slips or things that confirm what she’s seeing. She’s been able to develop a persona to placate people into a false sense of security when she’s really watching them closely. The motto keep your friends close but your enemies closer is something that she follows and it’s worked for her so far.

She’s learned about how tea blends are made and makes them on her own. She keeps mixes of different ingredients around and often makes blends tailored to certain needs. Holy basil, chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender for relaxation; peppermint, rosemary, thyme, and lemon verbena for people feeling unwell. But again, she would never willingly tell anyone this. She wouldn't like someone seeing her being soft.

[lupita-sarmiento]

[LINDSEY MORGAN, 131, SHE/HER ] - Have you seen [ LUPITA SARMIENTO ] lately? From what I’ve heard, they’re a [ CISGENDER WOMAN ] [ MERMAID ]. People around town have said that they’re [ COMPASSIONATE, AMIABLE, GENUINE ] but also [ DISORDERLY, RESENTFUL, NAIVE ]. Rumor has it, they’re [ AGAINST ] rebuilding the glamour around Halloweentown.

Hello friends! I can’t wait to get plotting with everyone! Here’s a bit on Lupita! I’m gonna work on a connections page, but I’ve included the one I’m most hoping for at the end of this!

potential triggers: murder and pregnancy mentions

Name: Lupita Sarmiento Gender: Cisgender Woman Species: Mermaid Age: 131 years Occupation: Go-go Dancer at Carpe Noctem

Lupita was born in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, though it wasn’t the most traditional mermaid birth. Her mother had been lured in some nine or ten months before by a merman, following his sweet song, leaving her more than happy to spend a wonderful and romantic evening in a coastal hotel. When the time came for Lupita to be born, her father came to fetch her, meeting her mother once again on the sparkling shores of the beach. She gave birth to the little girl in the tides of the gulf, and gave her daughter what she thought was a first and last kiss on the cheek as well as a name before relinquishing her to the sea and her father.

Lupita returned to see her mother at the age of sixteen, guided to the shores she’d been born on at her father’s side. Since that day they had maintained a relationship, though it was a little odd having to get to know your own mother. Most of this time was spent on the beach, with Lupita’s father reluctant to let his daughter wander too far into the land of the walking. So Lupita remained naive of the way humans worked, and the going-ons of the above water world.

But eventually she would grow restless, and convince her father to ler her go beyond there corner of the ocean. Lupita began to journey many waters of the world, mapping out their basins as she explored every inch of them.

Some four decades ago, Lupita fell in love with her own human— a man who had shining eyes, and lines that crinkled when he laughed around their corners. He was charming, but apparently she wasn’t the only one to think so. He was caught cheating, and she sang him beneath the ocean’s waves, drowning him as a last revenge. The moment it was done, she realized that killing him hadn’t fixed her broken heart, and the misery was too much to bear. Thus her return to the sea commenced as it called her back. The year was 1981.

She stayed under the waves for quite some time until recently resurfacing! The world of Halloween town is much changed from the way she remembers it, and she’s still getting her land-legs back after a little over 40 years beneath the waves.

Along with the changed times, her mortal mother has since died, and Lupita carries a guilt in herself that in her great sorrow, she’d forgotten to return to her mom on the beaches, and missed her chance to say goodbye.

Most Wanted Connection (any gender) — - The child of her former lover, the man she killed! I think it’d be super fun to explore the guilt that comes with knowing she killed their father, as well as how they might react to discovering she was his killer! This character would be somewhere around 40 years old based on the timeline, but that’s also a little flexible!

BREIF OVERVIEW;

Alwin was born and raised in Halloweentown in Pack Callahan as his mother had family ties to the pack, however, he left only six months ago due to his issue with the exclusivity of the pack. Alwin’s family has not been speaking to him for the past months due to him leaving

Alwin has a fascination with the way that werewolves are portrayed in media and genuinely enjoys watching them

His apartment is covered in plants and crystals as he thinks that it creates a healing and protected space

He had at one point wanted to work as a therapist, but found that bodywork called to him in a stronger way and that he could heal people through that as well

Alwin has always been the type of person to reach out to those who seemed lonely, no matter what. His web of friends is large because of this, though he rarely thinks about the connections and potential influence he has

He teaches arts and crafts on the side, which he started to do when his first niece was young as he started off teaching her and her friends. It grew quickly into a community activity and many kids come to his classes. It always warms his heart to see the kids he taught all grown up

He never forgets a face and so even a small interaction will lead to Alwin always saying hello!

[ PHILLIPA SOO, SEVENTY-ONE, SHE/HER/HERS ] - Have you seen AMELIA BARTLET lately? From what I’ve heard, they’re a CISFEMALE GHOST. People around town have said that they’re TRUTHFUL, STYLISH AND TRUSTWORTHY but also JADED, SARCASTIC AND PATRONIZING. Rumor has it, they’re AGAINST rebuilding the glamour around Halloweentown. 

ayo its me paige again with another character! amelia is my baby, i love pippa with all my heart, and im hype for another character! so here’s what you need to know about amy:

amelia is a baby boomer, though she would never admit that

born following the end of world war II in california, she was raised as an only child

her parents never told her that she had an older sister, one who had disappeared without a trace one night

growing up in the shadow of WWII, there was still much prejudice against asian families

but her parents did what they could to give amelia a good life

they bought a house in the suburbs, sent her to a good school, and worked their asses off to give amelia the life she so desired

when she graduated high school, amelia attended pitzer college, and during her junior year the school became co-educational

there, amelia studied social sciences, particularly anthropology. she became involved in the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement, and the womens movement

after graduating, amelia moved back to san francisco because her parents had fallen ill

after a few short months they both passed, within a day of each other, and amelia felt like her whole world was crashing down

in cleaning out her parents house, however, she found old pictures of her parents and some little girl

this intrigued amelia, and after lots of digging, she discovered roxanne was her older sister

amelia sold her parents house, and without a final thought, she bought a train ticket to washington dc

she wanted to join the fight, to fight for women’s rights and make an impact on the world

she wanted to make her parents proud too, but she knew that would come with time

in dc, amelia met and married william bartlet, who was also working for the women’s liberation movement

he was a professor at georgetown, where she was receiving her masters in social sciences

while working for the women’s movement, amelia also became the first female professor at georgetown

one cold night in 1978, amelia was walking home from a meeting with some student activists when a group of men approached her just a block from her home

they began to harass her, pointing out her pin and her papers and teasing her and the women’s movement

being the feisty woman she was, amelia snapped back, and this caused the men to get angry

they grabbed her and pulled her into the alley just a block from her home an they assaulted her, leaving her for dead in the alley

when she woke up, her pain was gone, but she realized that she was looking down at her lifeless body

she saw william approach her body and cry, which caused Amelia herself to cry (something she never did)

realizing she was dead took… a lot out of her

amelia didn’t know what to do, or to think, but she knew she couldn’t continue to watch the love of her life sob over her body. 

unsure what to do or think, she went home. to california

since that night, amelia has wandered the world in limbo, unsure how to pass on and not even sure she wants to

occasionally she would check on william, though not so much since he remarried. she also tried to search for her sister, but there was no trace of her since the night she disappeared

a few months ago, however, she discovered the existence of halloweentown, and decided to make her way there

the cute little town was exactly what amelia needed

she got a job as a professor of mortal history at the university and has been happily living there, having no clue that her long lost sister is living just a few miles away

BIOGRAPHY.

The life of Prudence Gallio was certainly not a happy one, even from birth. Born to a mother who died shortly after her youngest brother was born when she was four years old, she was left with a father who made it very clear that he never wanted a child: specifically a daughter. She is the eldest of three children, the other two being sons whom he clearly favored. Growing up, she was the subject of years of abuse that her other siblings did not experience — mainly because she made it so. She swore that if any harm came to her two younger brothers, she would take them and run.

She also learned very early on that her father was the leader of an extremely powerful group of witches in the Cambridge area; The Gallio Coven. For years, Prudence wondered why none of them could protect her from her own father or even see the kind of man that he was. The coven appeared to follow him without question, telling everyone he was a good leader, a good father and overall: an upstanding gentleman. When she reached young adulthood, however, she stopped trying. Another thing her father hated her for: the leadership of this group would naturally fall to Prudence should something happen to him and he did everything in his power to stop it.

Shortly before she turned seventeen, Prudence was witnessed to one of the most brutal massacres in witch history. For years, Langston had made himself many enemies and some saw the chance to finally take him down. Instead, however, they decided to take the rest of the coven down with them. As the attack raged, it was as if out of nowhere that the surrounding area burst into flame. it wasn’t until after the carnage ended that the young woman realized -- this was her own doing. Subconsciously, she had lit the buildings surrounding the attack on fire.. with her mind. The bloodshed seen that day is something that haunts Prudence in her nightmares and is something that will never leave her, even if she doesn’t show it. The fate of her two siblings were the only ones uncounted for and in her heart of hearts, Prudence hopes her brothers are alive (which they are - they are wanted in Halloweentown). After years of looking, however, she has lost all hope.

Now without a family at her back, as unloving as it was, Prudence spent many years on her own developing her own magic. Being anchored in Fire was something she never expected, especially considering she came from very long line of powerful Earth witches. Regardless, she excelled in the element and finds herself occasionally a bit overwhelmed by her own power. Ending up in Halloweentown was also another surprise, finding it in her to settle down and make a successful life for herself. Although she is not particularly welcoming or friendly with most of the residents of Halloweentown, she does make an effort to socialize and make nice with a lucky few. Any opponent she’s come across, she has vanquished and in a way, sees herself better than others for the doom she has evaded for so many years. After so many years of being under someone else’s thumb, she’d rather die than be controlled. She has a history of working alone and originally wanted to keep it that way. She did for the first couple years and seemed to do very well for herself. However, she has recently found herself associating with the Nyx coven as she agrees with their traditional outlook on magic. This alliance is rather new, but she is indeed growing to care for the group and actually learning to play nice with others. 

For she is stuck in a town that is taking some time to get used to with a name she would rather die than continue to bare. A burning sense of self-hate continues pushing down upon her heart and maybe one day, overwhelm her. The question is, will she allow people around her when she finally falls apart, or will she be all alone?

Roxanne Mae Jin was the product of a rather unconventional marriage. During the early 1920s, the west coast of the United States saw an influx of immigrants of Asian descent. Roxanne’s father was one of those immigrants. By chance, he met a local businessman’s daughter and they fell madly in love.

Her mother’s family protested the union, but the two ran away to elope anyway. Less than a year later, Roxanne was born. Her childhood was rough, despite her parents attempts at giving her everything they could. It wasn’t easy growing up during the Great Depression, it certainly wasn’t easy being a biracial child, either. Just when she felt that the worst had passed, the US entered WWII. It was an awful time for Asian Americans and the hatred she experienced would stay with her forever.

It was during this time that Roxanne was working as a maid in the homes of wealthy families. Of course, she was working for petty cash just to get by, nothing that would lift her out of poverty. It was when she was leaving one of these homes late one night that her life would be changed forever.

In an alley beside the home, she was attacked by a man. She could feel the blood drain from her body as she grew weak and she was resigned to the fact that this was her death. Surprisingly, that was only the beginning of her long life. The man that attacked her became her sire, someone she’d stay with for many years to come.

The change turned Roxanne from a shy, guarded woman to one that was unafraid to speak her mind. A woman that would fight back against those that verbally accosted her. She was a new beast, one that had no fear. A woman that was to be feared, and one that had no qualms about taking a life – innocent or not.

Roxanne became Roxi, a vixen, of sorts. For the next fifty or so years, she traveled the entire world with her sire. He was the Clyde to her Bonnie in a twisted, murderous way. And Roxi absolutely adored him, no matter what he did. After all, he was the one that saved her. The two were inseperable until the late 90s, when Roxi had a slight change in her morals.

An argument insued and soon, Roxi and her sire went separate ways. She ended up in the infamous Halloweentown and he ended up… somewhere else.

In her time in Halloweentown, Roxi’s become a personal trainer, specifically teaching woman self defense techniques. While she still has her rough, vixen sort of attitude, she’s not quite as murderous these days. Still, her heart sometimes longs for the road and the connection she had with her sire.

BIOGRAPHY.

In the Rios household, family is absolutely everything. Antonia’s mother always said that she was the last piece their family needed to complete their foursome and she was their light. Outside of Antonia, her mother, father and her older brother, there was a litany of cousins, aunts and uncles and she was constantly surrounded by people who reminded her exactly how loved she was. This is perhaps why in her later years, she believes that everyone is deserving of love and will try her hardest to give it to them. Growing up for her was easier than many and she didn’t really have to work for very much. Her mother and father gave her practically whatever she wanted that was in reason. She was also quite close with her older brother and the two were thick as thieves. In a way, some believed that the four of them were the perfect family. 

When Antonia was fourteen, her brother (who was seventeen at the time) went missing while he was out with his friends. Nobody knew why someone would want to do this to such a kindhearted boy and shortly after, everyone in Antonia’s life spent countless hours trying to get him back. It took about two years for the case to go completely cold and watching people lose faith in her brother’s safety destroyed Antonia to her core. Considering the amount of years her brother has been missing he has been presumed dead, but she still holds out faith that he’s out there.

On her eighteenth birthday, Antonia’s parents sat her down and admitted something to her: Daniella was immortal and had fallen in love with a human despite knowing that one of them would live forever while the other would not. Her mother’s side of the family contained very powerful Phoenix lineage, a species thought to not even exist. Antonia still wonders why her mother put herself through that kind of pain, the inevitable loss she will experience when her father passes on and definitely struggles to this day to understand it. She would then go off to Columbia University to study English, but spent most of her days searching for more information about who she was. New York was a big place, a new city and for a girl who had spent most of her life surrounded by her family — it was quite overwhelming. All of that changed, however, when she met her best friend. He too came from supernatural lineage and it seemed almost like fate that the two of them were brought together (WANTED CONNECTION). After graduation, the two of them left their college-town to travel the world.

They lived rather independently together for a couple of years -- traveling and experiencing beyond their wildest dreams. There was one day, however, where Antonia woke up and he was no longer at her side, all for a reason that she did not know. She was heartbroken. She spent the next year or so wandering rather aimlessly with no destination in mind, and that was how she ended up in Halloweentown around five months ago. Here, she decided that she’d build a life for herself and actually settle down -- as uncomfortable as the thought makes her after traveling for so many years. 

She now teaches English at Halloweentown University and spends many of her days in her office, grading papers and reading. While she seems a bit more quiet and reserved, she will never turn away anyone who appears to be in need of a friend or a listening ear. Even though she knows that she will live forever and cannot be killed, Antonia still searches for things or people that make her life meaningful. Teaching has certainly given her that. She also finds great comfort in her ability to make people happy and frequently puts others before herself. Much of her life, even when traveling has been spent in books: studying and trying to learn even more than she already knows. 

As for the glamor, Antonia believes that danger is everywhere — even within the supernatural community. Humans are not the only thing they have to be afraid of. Regardless, she believes that since she’s been in town only a short time, there are others who’s opinions probably matter more than her own.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: DEATH TW, MURDER TW, ALCOHOL TW, ADDICTION TW

Magnolia Sinclair was born into a world and a role she never asked for. Her father was a powerful politician and her mother a powerful witch. She had old money and old magic in her veins, going as far back as she could trace. Hailing from Savanna, Georgia, as a young child she thought she lived a rather charmed life. Magnolia, or Maggie as she prefers, grew up in an old mansion. Belrose Manor itself was filled to the brim with secrets, spirits, and hidden passages. Each day was filled with a new adventure and discovery; each night was accompanied by yet another spell or ritual her mother would teach her. That is, until the day the caretakers discovered her mother’s secret.

It was July nineteenth. The summer evening was warm and heavy with humidity. A cleaning woman had discovered Mrs. Sinclair’s altar, and at once, rushed to tell the rest of the workers. Being devoutly religious and against the “occult”, something had to be done. That night, as thirteen year old Magnolia slept in her bed, the help barged their way into the master bedroom to rid the world of what they viewed as an abomination. She heard her mother’s screams and father’s pleading words. Terrified, she crawled off out of the bed and scooted her way to her closet, where she would sit for what felt like days. Morning came and an armed officer was the one to find her. Although he assured her that everything would be alright, but she knew very well that her world had come crashing down.

Over the next few years, Maggie was moved from family member to family member on her father’s side. Each one seemed to grow tired of her bad attitude and new-found negative outlook on life rather quickly. After a few months, it was on to the next one. Soon enough, she had given up on the domesticated life she lived before. There was a trust set up for her filled with her parents’ money, and she retained all of the skills her mother had taught her. She realized it would be rough on her own, but that she’d never find happiness again if she remained bouncing from home to home.

Life on the road brought her a great many things - tattoos, new skills as a dancer, friends, lovers, enemies, and unfortunately, a dependency on alcohol. The bottom of a bottle was her new favorite home and the only thing that seemed to fill the void left after her parents’ murders.

She had been on the road and in and out of bars for almost eight years by the time she found herself drawn to a wooded area in Massachusetts. Twenty-three at the time, seasoned, aggressive, and tainted by the world, Maggie had nothing left to lose. Upon wandering through the area, she discovered something beyond her wildest dreams - Halloweentown. Upon settling in, she found an apartment, a job, and she was determined to make the best of it. Soon enough, she realized this little slice of heaven was the home she’s longed for since she was thirteen. And while it hasn’t exorcised her demons, it taught her how to use them to her advantage – and that’s all she could ask for.
