HISTORY
triggers: child abandonment, car accident (drunk driving), death
prudence van holt’s birth is a mystery-- all she knows is she was dropped off at the fire station in a town outside of seattle, the only identification a baby blanket with her name on it.
she ends up being adopted by a couple, the van holts, who always wanted multiple kids but could not after their first, a boy.
growing up, she’s always been a little shit. she doesn’t mean to be. she just has an insatiable curiosity, sticking her nose in other’s businesses, finding lost things, she had a strange knack for it. it got her into a lot of trouble, children had no business sticking their nose into adults’ things.
her brother never really liked her-- he always resented the fact their parents brought her home, took her in, when they already had a perfectly fine child needing attention. petty things, except it’s sparked a life long sibling rivalry that runs deep.
it’s a pretty uneventful childhood, her parents are good people, they provide for her, and support her, despite her troublesome antics.
she’s always been a lonely child, she’s never had the easiest time making friends, so she’s spent a lot of her time exploring the woods near her home.
she’s thirteen when she discovers her mother, whom she always has written off as simply eccentric, is more than that-- she’s a witch. and a good one, too. her book club meetings she’s often privvy to walking through is more than that, it’s her coven.
so of course, prue wants in-- how can she not? it’s a whole new world, working under her mother’s wing, driving a wedge further between herself and her brother. she tells her to be careful, to watch her back, that there’s bad people who want to do bad things with the power they wield. it instills a deeper ideal of trust no one in prudence-- one that sticks with her to this day.
and she’s dedicated to the craft! she takes time to learn the different meanings and uses of herbs, flowers, etc., makes potions, cast spells-- perhaps sometimes for personal gain, but she’s dedicated herself to using them to help others.
she sort of becomes a private investigator in high school, not on purpose, but a friend tasks her to find out if her boyfriend is cheating on her, so tails him, catches him in the act-- gives him a little hex for good measure.
it becomes a thing, people need something found? they go to her. think their partner is fooling around? they go to her. and she delivers, all with a little touch of magic. eventually, she wants to go deeper, take on more serious cases, but alas she’s only a teenager.
sike! that doesn’t stop her. and as much as she hates cops, she has an in at the department through her father, so soon she’s not so legally trying to solve murders.
and that’s all fine and dandy, until just a month shy of her eighteenth birthday, and two months before she graduates from high school, her parents get into a car accident coming home from a meeting one night. a drunk driver swerves into their side of the road, hitting them head on. neither survive.
it’s that that has her change her mind about college, why go to college when she already knows what she wants to do? life is fleeting, and she’s hurting, so she graduates, and moves to eldstead, a town an hour and half away from her own home. it’s not a big change, but enough for her to have a fresh start.
she knows something is different about the storm when it hits, that it brought about something... destructive. and she’s inclined to get to the bottom of all of it. it’s in her nature-- she has to snoop.
she runs her own private investigation that used to serve eldstead and the surrounding area, but now it’s simply eldstead. she makes her own hours, and works alone, because she prefers it that way.
PERSONALITY
she’s really closed off-- she prefers to be alone, because of the shit she’s seen, and the people in her life, she just expects to be let down.
when you first meet her, there’s a chance she’s just going to brush you off. she’s not exactly the friendliest person out there?
will she be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole? no. absolutely not. but she is unflinchingly honest about her observations, and that doesn’t always go over well.
very much a ‘do the thing first, ask for forgiveness later type of person’-- doesn’t have a lot of regard for rules that aren’t her own. (*dw voice* that sign can’t stop me bc i can’t read!)
if u do manage to be friends with her, she’s got ur mf back she’s unflinchingly loyal and if you break her trust, you’re pretty much dead to her lol
TIDBITS
she has a black cat (wow a witch with a black cat...... groundbreaking) named inkblot (creative, rly), nicknamed inky like the pacman ghost
surprisingly high alcohol tolerance, loves 2 go for a beer or a whiskey at the end of a long day
lives in cableknit sweaters-- this is the pnw i mean a bitch be cold
doesn’t really date? she came out when she was 16, and there’s been a couple relationships, but they never really pan out-- it’s always because of her. she doesn’t know how to open up
swears a lot
has a pretty good understanding of basic hand to hand combat just in case perps get a little rowdy, took boxing classes for abt 4 years?
probably an elderly person when it comes to social media, kinda likes to keep a low profile but she also posts a shit ton of pictures of her cat
INCREDIBLY good at finding lost things-- keys, phones, dogs, u name it she just knows-- and she doesnt know if its the intuition that comes from being a witch or just herself
prob should join a coven, but shes a lone wolf awoo
prob barks at men idk
lives off of black coffee, doesn’t rly sleep
has multiple ear piercings and a couple tattoos but she usually keeps them hidden
WANTED CONNECTIONS
informant - she gets information from them for her cases, they got a p good grasp
someone she’s solved a case for - p self explanatory, now they’re friendly enough, or perhaps she couldn’t stand them and did it for the money
someone who wants to be her friend but she’s weary - tbh shes weary of everybody
coven adjacent - another witch, maybe theyre trying to get her to band together with them
drinking buddy - they meet at the bar and shoot the shit
opposites attract - friend who is nothing like them! but still hangs around!
someone she feels like she has 2 protect - for whatever reason, even tho they can prob take care of themselves, prue is super fkn protective of them
a genuine friend - yeah she just needs one idk she’s doing her best
ex (f/nb) - someone she dated for a little bit but they broke up because of prue’s inability to open tf up
fwb (f/nb) - ? maybe we all got needs, and she’s not looking for a relationship
attraction (f/nb) - there’s tension and neither know why!
rival - to paraphrase a tumblr post what is a rival if not a crush you’re unhappy abt
pure of heart, dumb of ass and lesbian - i just love this trope
sibling like - someone who she genuinely sees as a younger/older sibling... goes to them for shit... protects them
frenemies - theyre not rly friends but they dont entirely hate each other either?
tbh anything

A10-15, C5-8, H4-7 and L2 for three ocs of your choice!
oh my goodness thank you so much!!! i’ll do vadania, kat & seraphina (cus i need to develop her bad) i’ll do a new post for each one and tag u because honestly these are so long sorry!
vadania
A -
10. Does your OC compromise easily? Too easily?
Vadania doesn’t compromise easily at all, she will push and push and push until she gets her way and if she doesn’t get her way don’t expect her to help you.
And then if you fail she will definitely say she told you so.
11. Does your OC put others’ needs before their own?
it very much depends on the ‘other’ if it’s someone she loves and cares about they will always come before her. if it’s a stranger, no matter how innocent, she will come first. one of vadania’s driving traits is her own self preservation, there aren’t many people she would put before herself.
12. Does your OC have any addictions? If so and problematic, have they admitted it to themselves?
she’s a recovering alcoholic, when her past came back to haunt her she went straight back to drinking. after a while the party forced her to admit this to herself and things got slightly better before they spiralled back again.
currently she’s sorting herself out! she still drinks but is no longer addicted!
13. Does your OC have any phobias? If so, where did they come from?
she’s afraid of water! no massive reason other than the first time she encountered water she was on the run and the thought of what lurks beneath is something unknown to her.
the spell dominate person terrifies her, even in the hands of someone she trusts. theres been too many times when its been used on her to do something she didn’t want or used on a friend to hurt her. she thinks it’s an evil spell and should be illegal.
finally, she’s terrified of illythids, illythids are what destroyed her home when she was a baby and the stories her father used to tell her gave her nightmares.
14. Is your character empathetic?
in general, yes. she related to others and can understand how they’re feeling but whether she acts on that is something else.
15. Is your character observant?
god. yes. she was raised to be a thief and a charlatan, she sees everything. every little crack in your surface she will spot and exploit.
in a game mechanics way v had the most ridiculous perception. she had a +20 to all perception checks and a passive perception of 30. ontop of that she couldn’t be surprised and she could read lips.
C -
8. Do your OC’s morals and rules of common decency go out the window when it comes to those they don’t like, or when it’s inconvenient? Aka, are their morals situational?
ya. 100%. if she’s faced with someone she dislikes she will do whatever it takes to hurt them.
9. What do they do when they see someone asking for money or food? If they ignore them, why? If they help, how so?
vadania, despite being a selfish bitch, cares a lot about those who are going hungry or lack money. she will help them by giving them money (usually more than they could ever need) because she knows what it’s like to be in their position.
10. Do they believe people change over time? If so, is it a natural process or does it take effort?
OH BOY DOES SHE! vadania puts way too much time in certain people because she thinks she can help change them. it is very situational though, just because she believes one person canchange does not mean she believes everyone can.
11. Is your OC more practical or ideal morally? I.e., do they hold people to high expectations of behavior even if it’s not realistic for the situation, or do they have a more realistic approach and adapt their morality to be more practical?
as long as you’re not a dick to her ur probs good in her books.
H -
4. Does your OC believe in love in first sight?
no. vadania thinks that love is something that takes a lot of time and effort and thinks that people who do ‘fall in love at first sight’ are naive.
5. Does your OC believe in marriage (or their culture’s equivalent)?
yes! though not for any religious or cultural reasons. she simply likes the idea of an extravagant day where the attention is on her. dfsjfuesfh
she’s been married twice!
6. Has your OC ever cheated on anyone or been cheated on?
technically yes but it’s complicated. she only slept with someone else because she had no choice really. she would never actively seek an emotional or sexual affair.
7. What do they look for in partners? (Emotionally, mentally, physically..)
stability, someone to ground her, power is also good. physically she likes tieflings, got a real thing for them, some crisp and clean cut but she also likes someone with good fuckin’ hair.
L -
2. What do you consider the biggest themes in your character, if any?
oh i love this question!!!!!!
for vadania her big theme is probably trauma. cliché and all but she’s basically had all of my trauma unloaded onto her.
other than that probably addiction and also mistakes.
