BRYONY HAWTREY  

GENERAL INFORMATION

Bryony Enid Hawtrey Nickname: Bri/Bry, Enid, Kitten Age: 19 to 100+ verse dependent  Nationality: English Species: Human Ethnicity: White Sexual Orienation Physical Disorders / Disabilities etc: None currently / None currently known Mental Disorders / Disabilities etc: None currently / None currently known Religion: None, raised Anglican  City of birth: London, England Currently living: Verse dependent Occupation: verse dependent, usually  Income: generally none just a barter / trade system with other magic types Marital Status: single, refuses to mingle Language ( s ): English, French, German, Spanish more probably but with varying skill Dialect: some Received Pronunciation Bullshit Birthday:  November 26 NOTE: Bryony is the Guardian of a magical artifact that is the source of her immortality and some of her more impressive abilities. I intentionally do not give much information about this artifact pretty much anywhere for 2 reasons: 1) Bryony actively withholds as much information about it as she can get away with and never really speaks of it, so not having much info on it to be read means less chances for ooc knowledge accidentally slipping into ic content 2) While I’ve got the basic nature / idea of it nailed down the details / backstory are still pretty vague so there’s no point in getting into it now.  Really what’s useful to know about it is that :         1. It’s the source of her immortality         2. It’s stupid powerful but she can’t tap into it whenever she wants         3. It’s not something ON her person it’s literally INSIDE her and she will only admit to              this in a truly dire situation ( ex. someone is after it, might actually succeed and she                needs her allies to know important info  )         4. It creates forcefields or repels things that could potentially harm her as she is still just          a squishy human, this can in theory be overcome if the attacker is a strong enough                  magic user         5. It allows her to do incredibly powerful magic that can potentially negate standard                laws of magic if the correct conditions are met ( these conditions vary with context )

MAGIC & PSYCHIC ABILITIES:  Before becoming the Guardian Bryony already had potent psychic abilities and aptitude for magic though her psychic abilities were largely untrained and she’d only started truly practicing magic a few years before. Once she became the Guardian the what magic she could do / how she did it changed wildly, while still able to perform all usual spells that rely on incantations, items, ingredients etc she also became able to do things that are best described as miraculous but only if certain conditions / parameters / prices are met. examples of sub-abilities/applications: Clairvoyance, Minor Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Claircognizance, Divination, Psychometry, Retrocognition ( largely via psychometry ) , Scrying , Automatic Defensive Forcefields ( Guardian Ability only ) , Improved Healing / Durability against Mundane Damage ( Guardian Ability only ) , Magic usually considered impossible / too dangerous for a human ( Guardian Ability only ) AREA OF EXPERTISE: TBA 

MENTAL

Self-perception: Fairly healthy and positive, does a good job of not beating herself up or getting too angsty about the immortality thing though she can also be blind to her own failings or overly defensive about things about herself when she really should be Assumed external perception: A potent world traveler with a strong personality and an untamable woman  Self-Confidence:  incredibly healthy  Rational Or Emotional ? Largely very rational even when she’s getting fired up but once you hit a certain threshold or topic boom instantly 1000000000% emotional.  Introvert or Extrovert ?  Extrovert Prefer to Give or to Take ? Give, she prefers to keep her books largely balanced but also knows it’s better to have others in your debt than you in theirs  Nice or Rude ? Is in actuality a pretty dang nice person but can come off as rather rude and bossy since she’s a very strong personality.
