Based on Sarah Sanderson from Hocus Pocus

OPEN || TAKEN

Come little children, I’ll take thee away ||

As soon as she was able to talk it was clear that she was gifted. Maybe not in the same way that her oldest was. But gifted nonetheless. Her mother had her reading tarot and brewing potions as soon as she was old enough. It was in these areas that Sarah excelled. She didn’t need to be smart or clever like Winnie and she didn’t need to be, well, Mary. She was beautiful and that was her ticket to success. So said her mother, after all. Pretty people didn’t need much to get ahead in life and praise Satan that Sarah was pretty. Because she sure as hell wasn’t smart. Her mother emphasized that all she had to do was bat an eyelash and give a smile. That everyone loved a girl with good looks and would bend over backwards for them. But when her mother was hung for witchcraft, what she hadn’t taught Sarah was how to survive without needing anyone else.

Thankfully, she still had Winnie and Mary. Not that her sisters really cared about her or for her. But as time went on it was obvious that they all had the same goal; to stay young. Sarah was terrified of growing old and ugly. What would she do then? Sure, she could brew a good love potion but that couldn’t get her very far in life. When Winnie started dating a boy, she realized that all she needed was a man to take care of her. Billy was just an easy target and while he may have formed genuine feelings for her it was debatable on whether or not the feeling was mutual. But regardless of that as soon as Winnie caught on to their little game it was game over. Sarah may not have suffered repercussions but Billy had. She was a little heartbroken that her sister took away her shiny new toy but there were plenty of fish in the sea.

One other gift that she possessed was that of siren song. Granted the soft and alluring voice that lured children to them as she sang a special song. A song just for them. That was her job when they formed a plan on how to achieve their goal. She would lure the children that Mary sniffed out and Winnie would brew the potion that would grant them the ability to suck their life force away. A special sort of little girl came waltzing into their cozy cabin and by the time her brother came rushing in to save her....it was too late. The three sisters were young and beautiful once again and the girl was long gone. Just before Mary warned them of an oncoming mob, the sisters cast a spell on the boy and packed their bags. They hid for three hundred years. Surviving on the souls and lives of children. Searching for Winnie’s beloved Book of Shadows. Their search led them to Portus Cale where Sarah found her calling as a match maker. What harm does  a love potion do here and there? 

Into a land of enchantment ||

Winifred and Mary Sanderson-->”This is--is terribly uncomfortable.”

Though Winnie is the most abusive one towards both sisters. Mary will sometimes make the occasional jeer. It hurts her feelings and she tries to ignore it but sometimes being pretty and nothing more comes at a price.

Aphrodite-->Like a boss

Even though she is her boss, the two will bond over sibling hatred. Aphrodite assures her that her sisters are just jealous of her and not to worry about what they say.

Dreadful darkness, hear my cry Bring back one who cannot die Let the witch who perished here Live again and re-appear ||

Growing up, all he ever heard was the stories of his great grandmother. Of course, there were opposing sides in his family. Ben heard that she was a healing and that she was, in fact, a witch. Though he didn’t know which side to believe. Instead, he spent as much time as he could reading up on both parties story. There was evidence for both. Ben’s mother spent her entire life shaping him into the magical being he would grow up to become. Helping him learn all his great grandmother’s potions and spells. But nothing ever came of it. There was no magic that erupted from him. By the time he was fifteen it became obvious that they needed a little something extra to help his powers bloom and blossom. That little something extra happened to be his great grandmother, Sarah’s, Book of Shadows.

For years he and his family searched for this book. But to no avail. In his spare time, Ben began to write books. Or rather horror stories that he would share with his peers. By the time he was twenty-five Ben was now a published work of fiction. His stories being shared far and wide and he was sent to many book signings over his time as a horror author. On one book signing he found himself in a trip to the museum and here he found a group he had only heard of; Mystery Inc. It was here that he helped them with a case and invited them to his hometown of Oakhaven. Years had passed and with it his mother and the rest of his family. Since it had been several years since he had last been to his hometown he was unaware that Sarah was being portrayed as an evil doing witch or of the festivities surrounding it.

After about a week in Oakhaven with no luck in finding his great grandmother’s Book of Shadows, Ben took his leave and vanished in the middle of the night. He found himself in another city in search of the book. But it was in Portus Cale that he caught a news casting featuring none other than the Book of Shadows. All he had to do was claim it and that was a nonissue. Now with his hands on the book there’s no telling how his powers may manifest. While he spends his time trying to decipher the Latiin used in it and trying to put together Sarah’s work he brought her back to life to try and help him. But she has no interest in helping her great grandson. Leaving him on his own to try and figure out her work.

Let the evil from the past Breathe again with fiery blast! Let the dark wind quiff the night To blow away the force of light! Now I summon ancient power This is evil's finest hour ||

Sarah Ravencroft-->”The Wiccans imprisoned Sarah in her own spell book and you helped me find it!”

Growing up all he heard was about her greatest conquests. But once he brought her to help him he realized that he and Sarah were two sides of the same coin. Both too selfish for the other’s liking.

Velma Dinkley-->”What’s the matter Velma? Don’t you like the new, improved Ben Ravencroft?”

There was some speculation about whether or not he could use her interest in him to his advantage. Which he did. She was smart enough, however, to figure out that he was searching for something and with that he lost interest.

Hades-->”If it’s one God you don’t want to get steamed up; it’s Hades.”

While they don’t exactly see eye to eye, they do however understand one another. Hades helps him try to figure out the language barrier with the Book of Shadows and Ben, in return, gives him business.

OPEN || TAKEN

He must see some good in you, and in my book, that’s bad ||

Between her and her brother, it was obvious who took magic more seriously. While the two were taught how to harness their magic equally, Merlin took his studies seriously. Madison, on the other hand, used what magic she had to create things like explosions and transfiguration. Both of which she was excellent. Her mother would scold and reprimand her for not taking her studies as to heart as her brother. Spending most if not all of her life being compared to Merlin left her feeling inadequate and resentful. She started taking her studies less and less seriously until the day when she just never showed up for one of her mother’s lessons. And by that time she was only eighteen. Eighteen and she knew everything. At least that’s what Madison had convinced herself of.

Though since she had stopped going to her lessons, Merlin came out on top. Whereas she fell short with her magic. If you were to ask her, however, she could surpass him. Madison knows this deep down and her hate festered inside her until she was left with nothing else. She lives her life in the shadows and works from behind the scenes whenever her services are called upon. Madison hates everything seen as wholesome. So much so that she gets physically sick from the very thought. But that’s what you get when you focus all your energy on trying to surpass and best your brother. Not that it really bothered her any. Madison cares about one thing and one thing only; being seen as the very best.

Upon hearing news that Merlin had traveled to another realm, she jumped at the opportunity. Seeing this as her chance to come out on top and prove herself. Madison packed her bags and found herself in Portus Cale as well. Taking a job at the local university as one of the youngest professors there. But that isn’t where she wants to stay. Should a better opportunity arise, Madison will flock and keeps her eyes open in search of her brother to finally show him who’s the best.

I hate sunshine. I hate horrible, wholesome sunshine. ||

Merlin-->Dear brother

Her long time rival and adoptive brother. She’ll do anything to better herself to beat him.

Arthur Pendragon -->Knight in shining armor

She has eyes for him. She supposes. He’s alright.

But also: Obnoxious —> Vain —> Sensitive

Based on Evangeline/The Evening Star from Princess and The Frog

OPEN || TAKEN

You’re my queen of the night, so still, so bright.||

Evangeline can’t remember her family, but what she can remember is her childhood memories in Beldam’s orphanage. Evangeline has a strange power that whenever she says she head a rumour that information inevitably would come true. That’s how she blended with other children in the orphanage and the exact explanation of why Beldam never fed from her powers. Whenever the old lady would come across the children to chose one of them to be fed, Evangeline would come up with one of her rumour of not being interesting enough for her. The girl got a grip on her powers since a young child. “I’ve heard a rumour..” and that’s how everything would begin, Evangeline got everything she wanted by only spreading rumors. Of course that after some time, Bella understood what was going on, but instead of swallowing lol that power, the old lady started to use it, forcing little Evangeline to condone with her evil plans.

As time went by her interests changed, the little girl had been taken place by a beautiful young woman with dreams of her own. Convincing Bella that she had no use for her anymore, Evangeline thought that maybe this way she would be finally free, but she was terribly wrong. Beldam handed Evangeline to a man from another realm entirely, his name was Facilier, he didn’t have magic of his own, but he knew how to imprison the shadow of someone and making that said person do his bidding. With that not only Evangeline crossed the worlds and went to a land without magic but also the Beldam. Facilier used Evangeline powers but also let her posses a life for her own. With her voice in this new place, the woman started to sing, and became viral very quickly. Using the name Venus as stage name, she soon made acquainted with the rich and powerful, and of course Facilier used this for his advantage.

Although Facilier flew with Evangeline to New Orleans, he never lost contact with Beldam, and when she told him about some people gathering around to overthrow Yen Sid, Facilier and Evangeline flew to Portus Cale. The villain made her start a job at the city’s most popular club so she could spy for him every information. But Evangeline was never a bad person, she only learned how to look after herself, and now working at The House of Mouse she’s starting to doubt her life decisions.

Love always finds a way it’s true. ||

Callisto Facilier —> I have friends on the other side.

Often referred as his friend of the other side, Evangeline only wants to be free from his grasp.

Tiana Chretien —> We just make peace with our enemies.

Evangeline knows about her curse because of her proximity with Callisto, and actually likes the girl and wants to help her to get rid off her condition.

Raymond Laselle —> Je t’adore, je t’aime, Evangeline.

Once Evangeline used her powers on Ray, who was the producer she needed to leverage her fame and he started to see her romantically. Ever since she started to fall for him, but now Evangeline doesn’t know if he truly loves her or not.

OPEN || TAKEN

Did you leave him out there on his own again ||

tw: drug mention

A fighter through and through. There was speculation when her mother was pregnant that she would lost the baby. But not Vitani. She wouldn’t have it. When her mother found out she was a girl she tried everything she could to get rid of the baby. So when it came time to give birth they were ready to see either a still born or a baby addicted to drugs. Miraculously, it was not the case Vitani, instead, was somehow resistant to everything her mother had taken. All her mother wanted was boys and with her brother, Nuka, she had gotten a child that was near mentally ill. When she was about three years old, her mother tried again and this time got the boy she had always wanted. Treating him like gold and Vitani like garbage. Nuka was completely forgotten in the long run. But as she grew older, she fought even harder for her mother’s affection and praise. 

As a result, Zira only saw this as an opportunity to put her daughter to the test. Just putting her under every vigorous test she could possibly think of. Some that were dangerous and most that should kill her. Yet Vitani came out on top every time. But no matter what she did, Zira never batted an eye at the victory or accomplishment. When her brother, Kovu, came of age that he was allowed to go do missions with them it was time for her to put him to the test. Vitani would run away and leave him to fend for himself. Only to have him come up beside her. There was nothing she could do to rid herself of her baby brother. He got everything she ever wanted and even when it was her idea to overthrow Sarabi and Kiara he got the praise.

When it was time for the mission to be taken out, it was Vitani that took the lead. After all, she knew everything that needed to be done. She knew how to do it. She knew it all. When things went south Nuka ran back to their mother and Kovu was left at a standstill. However, she went ahead and followed their targets to another city. War was in her nature and when this new place broke out in the very thing she was versed in... Well, it was a piece of cake and Vitani refused to be struck down.

Mother’s gonna be mad ||

Nuka and Kovu-->”Oh, who cares? I should’ve been the chosen one.”

Her dear brothers. She hates them both but she hates Kovu more than Nuka. All she wants is to at least be appreciated.

Zira and Taka-->Mommy dearest

Her lovely mother who she has grown to hate so much. She still strives for the recognition she deserves though. Taka, she is unsure how to feel about him. He claims that Kovu is “the chosen one” but he’s his son so she is sure he’s biased.

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a bag ||

Oldest of three it was clear who the favorite was. Given everything and more. Every single thing she needed to study what she needed while her brothers were forced to fend for themselves. After all, Sharlene was special. She had magic that the others didn’t and she needed everything she could to master her magic of illusion (her specialty). Sharlene knew what she had to offer and what she could do. Which meant that she was allowed to treat her brothers like they were beneath her. Because they were. Often telling her brothers to do lowly jobs and get her this and that. However, while Lucien grew tired of her ways and challenged her on the daily. Bastion just took it like a dog that had been kicked. Over the years it was obvious that Sharlene harbored no feelings of care or love towards anyone other than their cousin; Osten.

In her eyes, he could do no wrong. She was terrified of him and idolized him at the same time. Wanting all the praise and affection that was given to Bastion. But never succeeding. Not even after gaining the nickname Shock for electrocuting her entire class did she get praise. Instead she was cast to the side and sometimes laughed at. Which was a far cry from what she was used to receiving. Sharlene began to try new and bigger things to try and get the attention she thought she deserved. Going as far as offering up the idea that they befriend his enemy, Jack, to try and bring Osten all his secrets. Though it worked Bastion came out as the favorite once again and Sharlene had to work even harder to try and gain the recognition she needed and wanted so badly. 

When Osten moved, it was her idea to follow. Keep a close eye on what was happening and try to come up with a better plan. But none of her ideas were ever good enough. Still, she prided herself in her cleverness and continued to treat her brothers like they were nothing more than the dirt that encrusted in the bottom of her combat boots. Because to her that is exactly what they were. But now even Lucien is getting more attention than she is and Sharlene feels slighted.

Lock him up for fifty years, then see if he talks ||

Lucien and Bastion Lyles-->”You’re no fun.”

Nothing more than the gum stuck to the bottom of her boots. Even if she won’t admit that she is insanely jealous.

Osten Bogs-->”’Cause Mister Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around.”

Her darling cousin that she wishes with all her might would give her attention and praise. He can do no wrong in her eyes.

Based on Hades from Hercules

OPEN || TAKEN

Uh, guys, Mount Olympus is that way ||

tw: abuse, drug mention

As the oldest of four, he was given the most responsibility. His mother was always too busy doing drugs and his father was too busy doing anything other than being a father. When his sister was born it became his job to look after and care for her. Same happened when his brother was born. But the worst and last straw was when Zeus was born. Suddenly, his parents wanted to be just that. They fawned over their youngest child and gave him everything his little heart desired. While Hades took the back seat and never once looked back. He started to actually live his life and do what he wanted to do instead of being parent to his siblings. Of course, seeing this only made the rivalry between the brothers worse as Zeus started to act out and cause all kinds of problems in the house. Blaming them on Hades and causing him to get beaten by their father.

Years and years of this only made his blood boil and eventually Hades harbored a deep seated hatred for his youngest brother. Zeus got everything handed to him on a silver platter while he got daddy’s fist. There was one instance where Zeus pushed the button too far and caused Hades to snap. A blue flame erupted from him and set almost the entire houses to turn up in smoke. By now he was sixteen and it was here that he learned that not only did he have this incredible flame but he could unlock the gates to Hell as well. He could call upon the souls of the dead and command them. He was truly a force to be reckoned with. Once Zeus was old enough to move out of the house he had had enough of his father and gave him a taste of his own medicine. But with fire to match his fury. 

All the siblings moved on from their realm. Leaving their childhood trauma behind. Though after a time they all stopped aging and time was no matcch for them. However, Hades wasn’t satisfied with leaving his father with broken bones and bruises. He decided to take things a step further and take what Zeus loved most from him. Following him to a new realm and marking his best friend, Hercules, as his target. Sending his cohorts Paine and Panic after him to take care of unfinished business. But when that failed he had a new trick up his sleeve; Megara. She was as feisty and filled with hate as he was and when his brother moved to Portus Cale it was time to make his move. Hades sent Meg after Hercules with no sweat off his back and all he had to do was sit back and watch the show.

Memo to me, maim you after my meeting ||

Megara-->”I think he does, Meg. I truly think he does.”

His sweet little Nutmeg. It would be a lie to say he hasn’t grown rather fond of her company. What would he do without his ace up his sleeve? Pushing her buttons gives him life and while she clearly hates him, there’s a little part of him that loves it.

Persephone-->Pinky Promises

If there is ever someone who could calm his soul it’s her. He truly cares for her the way he hasn’t anyone else. There’s a bond there that can never be broken. A tale that will outlive the both of them. Let other tell their stories to the heavens.

Facilier-->Fuel my fire

Sometimes the other man irritates him. But on most days he enjoys his commentary and his company. They are brothers in arms.

Based on Ken from Toy Story 3

OPEN || TAKEN

Why do you guys keep saying that?! ||

Ken comes from what people calls a broken home. His father left his mother with two little boys and ever since Ms Carson struggled to put a bread on the table for her children, because of that, Ken and his brother Tommy started to model and be the face of big labels since an young age. At first Kenneth didn’t like it that much, and even tried to hide from his friends, but he was building a name for himself and soon enough his face was stamped on outdoors and tv commercials. Of course children wouldn’t understand that was a living, and made fun out of him and bullied Ken for being a good looking boy, of course all those nicknames would affect such a young mind, and Ken developed a smart mouth out of it, always hiding behind sarcasms to make sure he would get out of bad situations.

As a teenager, Kenneth actually started to like his profession, for the girls would always swoop around him. He had to work out real hard at the gym to stay in shape for his jobs, and he knew he could get every girl that he wanted with his looks. Kenneth started to not just model but also act as a living, finding the acting career more fun than actually modeling. He was the promise of his age, invited to star Disney musicals and every teenage girl knew his name. With all that fame, Ken got used to the easy life of the rich and pampered kids. With so many jobs he met a young girl named Barbie, the star of her generation, it was love at first sight, even with all the age gap between them. The tabloids called it a scandal, but Ken was seriously in love with her and couldn’t care less about the situation, he just wanted to be with Barbarah.

The two of them were invited to be on a movie together as a couple and they moved to Portus Cale together. There Kenneth met Andrew Lotso, a man who saw in Ken’s ambitious a weakness, telling him that he would make him a star again and not be on Barbie’s shadow anymore. Lotso just wanted Ken’s help to take over The Lightning Studios. Ken loved Barbie,but he also wanted fame and fortune for himself, so he allied with Andrew even though always seeing as the weakling of his gang. But Kenneth doesn’t care, he knows what he has to do, he just hopes for the price not be his relationship with his girlfriend.

Take him to the library! ||

Barbarah Roberts —> I love you too Barbie.

Ken truly loves Barbie, but he’s tired of being in her shadow.

Tommy Carson —> Little brother

Ken doesn’t care that much about him, often forgetting that he has a sibling at all.

Andrew Lotso —> Boss ass bitch

Ken knows that Andrew underestimate him, but he doesn’t care, he has his eyes straight up on the goal and won’t stop for nothing until he gets it.

Wouldn’t dream of it ||

It was quite obvious that Lucien was the favorite among his siblings. His parents would praise everything he did. Nothing was too treacherous and he learned quickly that he could get away with damn near anything. Starting to pull pranks with his siblings though his end slowly started to get out of hand. While his sister’s were calculated and aimed carefully, he was reckless and took things too far. Most of the time their cousin, Osten, would sweet talk the teachers and principal at their school into letting him remain there. But the older they got the more violent and destructive Lucien became. It went from Osten having to sweet talk teachers to having to sweet talk and bribe the cops. Most of the time his antics included fire and arson. When he was fifteen, Lucien discovered that he could control his favorite element. His fire burned hot and one night he burned the number 666 into the local priest’s yard. That was the beginning of the rumor that he was the anti-christ. After all, who else could control hell fire?

Lucien was well aware that he was walking a thin line with Osten the older they got. Their cousin started to treat him differently than his siblings. Sharlene wanted their cousin’s favor and that was obvious. Bastion was clearly his successor and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Lucien started tormenting his cousin and the two began a battle of the wills. Keeping it as civil as possible while making their lives hell. When they received the job to befriend the Skellington boy, Lucien made it his personal mission to be the favorite. But that, too, was thwarted and he was confused. No longer basking in the  glory of his former days. Where had he gone wrong? He started to act out more and more. Burning everything he could get his hands on and never once caring who it hurt. Not that he did before.

Once it was time to move, Lucien saw an opportunity. He would make sure he was under the wings of every baddie there was in town. Forget his cousin! He would become the prodigy of someone who was bigger and badder than Osten. He would surpass his cousin and laugh in his face. Especially with the war coming on. It was a piece of cake and nothing that Lucien couldn’t handle. Look out Portus Cale...the anti-christ is coming.

We followed your instructions ||

Sharlene and Bastion Lyles-->Sibling rivalry

There is still a bond there somewhere. Though he fails to find it, nor does he really want to. It’s every man for himself after all.

You have a brain and a mind of your own ||

Even as a child he was incredibly intelligent. Said to be a child prodigy, Alan was remarked to be possibly the smartest kind in his realm. He knew how to reprogram computers from the time he was four years old. There was even rumor that he was too smart. Growing up, finding and making friends was hard for him. He saw everything for what it was and nothing more. Playing pretend didn’t appeal to him and eventually his computer characters he made  became his only friends. He was made fun of  for smart he was and the only advice he was given was to “kill them with kindness.” Which he did very well. Alan just wanted to help and be kind and have friends but after so long of being helpful and nice he started to get tired of being used. When he got home from school, Alan would log onto his laptop and immediately upload his creations. Going as far as to make himself in these games. Eventually, his parents got concerned that he was going too far into his own little world and that he was losing who he was. But every doctor they took him to said the same thing; as long as he was happy what was the problem?

And he was happy. Alan was perfectly content with the world he had created. Making interactions his own way and living his life the way he wanted. As he got older, the more into his world be became and soon he started living his real life the way he did in his laptop. He started seeing people the way he saw computers and would often tell them that they needed to be rebooted or recoded. Which, naturally, people never actually took kindly too. People in the adult world were even less kind to him than the kids he was a doormat for. Alan was losing hope in humanity and started to withdraw even more. Until the day he met Clu. He told him that he was fine just the way he was and it was humanity that needed to rewrite how they were. Eventually, however, Clu slowly started to brainwash him. Creating a man that was no longer kind and helpful but instead harsh and cold to the world. He called him Rinzler and started using Alan’s newfound anger and resentment for mankind as a shield and would cause him to get into fights. Fights that he would win.

Soon, he started calling himself by the bizarre nickname that Clu made for him. Introducing himself as such and assuming the personality that Clu had  ultimately made. Occasionally, he’ll feel like his old self and apologize for his actions and words. This eventually led to a fight between the two in which Clu lashed out and nearly killed him. Turning on his heel, leaving Alan to die alone (assuming he would die.) But he didn’t and instead saw his friend for who he truly was; selfish and only out for himself. Not wanting to be in the same realm where he was associated with Clu, he left and instead found himself in Portus Cale. Though old habits are hard to break. Alan still has no hope in humanity and is still identifying himself as Rinzler. Resorting to being cold and brash with everyone around him.

Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument ||

Michael Mouse-->Light at the end of the tunnel

Mickey often recruits him to do things around the restaurant. Trying to find ways to improve it. His kindness reminds him that sometimes people aren’t all awful.

Hades-->Just like a memory

He reminds him of Clu in certain ways. Which is why he seeks to get closer to the other man. Hoping that maybe they can become friends.

Amalthea-->Hope in humanity

She reminds him of himself in many ways. Though he wants to get closer to her so that he can toughen her up. Make her a little stronger.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or at least one would think so. He was raised in a good family with money to spare. Both of his parents were surgeons but with chaotic schedules. They hardly saw their son and as such hired a nanny to take care of him. Arawn was always a strange child. Spending most of his time with dead things and dissecting things rather than playing with the other kids. But that wasn’t the only things that scared his nannies away. Arawn would often bring home dead animals just to see if he could bring them back to life. When his parents had a little girl it only made matters worse. Henna was special in that she could see snippets of the future and he whispered things in her ear. Telling her that they were raising her like a pig for slaughter. It was only a matter of time until she ran away at six years old. Leaving Arawn an only child once again.

When the seventh nanny ran out and refused to come back, his parents started to wonder what was wrong with their son. They had no idea of his nature since they were hardly around. And one night... They didn’t have to worry about it anymore. Arawn was only ten years old when he stabbed his parents fifty-two times. When the press and the cops arrived he was staged as a mere victim in all this. He was only a boy after all and surely couldn’t have done this. None of his DNA was on the murder weapon or in the crime scene either. He was lucky to be a live. And where had his sister ran off too? He was precise and made sure that no signs pointed to himself. He was successful. But then he got a little too cocky, a little too confidant. A few short years of living with his grandmother and he burned it to the ground. His grandmother trapped inside. But that wasn’t where he ended it. Arawn succeeded for the first time in reanimating a life and that was the day that he discovered his power; necromancy.

The press started to look a little too closely and when he was about to be put in foster care he ran away. Sending himself to med school with earnings he made doing the odd job for the gangs in the area. Making sure there was no paper trail for the cops to follow, he became a well accomplished surgeon. Specializing in trauma, naturally. Arawn was living his best life and making a name for himself when he saw his baby sister on the news. She was a clairvoyant now and a well known one at that. Going by the name of Hen Wen in a last ditch effort to leave her past behind her. She was in another realm in a city by the name of Portus Cale. It looked like he was about to make a little visit to see his little sister and rekindle the family bond after all.

Arise, my messengers of death ||

Hen Wen-->”But you let the pig get away, didn’t you?”

His little sister. He has very little care for her overall. Only wanting to use her power to see the future for his own selfish needs.

Taran-->”I presume, my boy, you are the keeper of this oracular pig.”

A mere obstacle that he must overcome in order to get closer to his sister. Her best friend. He presumes.

You have to remember the spell ||

tw: abuse

Once upon a time he was the youngest son of a goblin who was both feared and loathed among their realm. His father was a tyrant and ruled their closed community with hatred and fear for the mortals. But his young son was nothing like that. Instead he wanted to help others and become a professor in wicked arts. Though his father would never stand for it and his mother backed everything his father did or said. Luke later would learn that it was out of fear. One night he sneaked downstairs for something to eat and found his parents arguing. His mother was passively trying to calm his father down and as a result would be hit, thrown or verbally mocked. It broke his heart to see his sweet mother treated such a way. Which was a strict reason why he wanted to help others. Mostly to get enough money to get him and his mother out from under his father’s thumb. But then came a man that claimed he could solve all of Luke’s problems.

His name was Kalabar and he was a warlock. There to help but never in means that was truly helpful. At first he believed that this man could do no wrong. Doing everything he ever asked of him right down from running errands to gathering rallies to make him mayor. After he won the mayorship everything went downhill. Luke’s questions went unanswered and even ignored. But then came the day that the spell hit. It was his last campaign and Luke was growing tired of being pushed to the side. Refusing to help Kalabar anymore until he helped him the way he had promised. A spell was cast and instead of actually helping him, he made Luke mortal. His father was furious and disowned him after he came home like that. Beating his son senseless before casting him away from his home. Now with nowhere else to go, Luke ran back to Kalabar who took him in with open arms.

After two more campaigns, Kalabar told him he had a plan to overtake their entire realm. Luke agreed to help him and tried to thwart the only threat he had; the Cromwells. But he was no match for their magic and eventually after casting Kalabar far from their realm they broke the spell and Luke was returned to normal. Though every now and then the spell would reverse and he would return to his mortal self that the old mayor had made him. Now after the Cromwells left their realm, Luke couldn’t reverse back to his gobliness and while he still remains, in fact, a goblin he still appears to be that of a mortal. He left their realm not in search of the family that helped him but of another man named Yen Sid who holds even more powerful magic who may be able to help him reverse Kalabar’s magic for good.

Zip, nada, zero. Goose eggs ||

Marnie Cromwell-->”It’s our only chance.”

This is the woman that helped him. Really helped him. So he owes her a great amount of gratitude.

Victor Van Dort-->Frienemies

The two share a weird sort of friendship and also live together.

Sorry, Freddie, I really do like you ||

She was young when she first discovered Paganism. Though her very Catholic parents were less willing to allow such a practice in their household. Often scolding their daughter for even bringing it up during dinner. They would bring their daughter to church and even Baptized her. All in hopes that Lena would see the light of god and turn back to her roots. But that was not the case. If anything it just drove her further into her practice. Lena began looking further into things and eventually told her parents that she has fully converted herself to Paganism. They were far less forgiving then and cast her from their home. Telling her to never come back home. But she was fine with that. Lena was in her early twenties and ready to branch out from her parents teachings and roof. Which was why she ventured far from her home in the heart of Spain and found a new home in Louisiana. 

Here she found a homeless shelter were she served as a cook. Making all kind of things for her fellow men and women. But then she met her savior. A wealthy woman by the name of Simone came and offered her a place to stay as long as she worked for her. Lena was ecstatic and happily agreed. Together they traveled everywhere in Louisiana in hopes for a new plantation. They were settlers now and had found a place for their new pepper plantation. Just when they thought they could celebrate a terror struck. They had just settled into Moonscar Island when a pirate crew came and terrorized their group. Killing most of them. Lena and Simone fled and hid in an underground tunnel where they worshiped Bast. They stayed there and prayed for help and protection from Bast.

Their prayers were answered. But in return they were turned into werecats and stays immortal. Though in order to remain this way they were to give a human sacrifice. They were saved and thrilled! Extracting their revenge on the pirates for killing their kin. Over the years Lena learned a form of voodoo in order to help them fulfill their sacrifices. However, they must make them before the full moon is over on Samhain. For two hundred years they were successful. Though when a group of teens came and they were unsuccessful, Lena sacrificed their friend Jacques who also partook in their ritual. It didn’t matter to Lena. It mattered even less to Simone. Now they have ran out of those they can sacrifice in Louisiana. Simone offered to move to another realm where they would plant their peppers once again. Portus Cale will make a wonderful new addition.

Sounds like Jacques found your frightened friends ||

Fred Jones-->Eye for an eye

He was the easiest to trick into coming to their plantation. With her otherworldly beauty he was easy to distract.

Simone Lenoir-->Mama, do you hear me

Though at one point she thought they were friends. She has come to realize that if Simone wanted to she would offer her as a sacrifice.

OPEN || TAKEN

Twist the bones and bend the back ||

First born and apple of her mother’s eye. There was nothing Winifred could do that was wrong or bad. After all, she was shaped and molded by her mother to be the self assured and righteous woman she grew up to be. Taught as soon as she could talk how to conjure a proper potion and perform a proper spell. Winnie was a force to be reckoned with. Even when her sisters were born she remained her mother’s darling little girl. All to Winifred’s delight. As she grew older, she became well versed in rune reading and arithmancy. A child prodigy as defined by her mother and when she turned sixteen she inherited her mother’s grimoire and was gifted her very own Book of Shadows. But it was all fun and games until  her mother was hung for witchcraft.

With Mary’s help the three girls were able to keep their location a secret. But by the time she reached her early twenties she realized a morbid truth; she was growing older. Fortunately, she was able to ignore this. But only until her boyfriend, Billy, decided it was a wise choice to point out a gray hair. Winnie looked over that and instead diving into blood magic. Trying her hardest to ignore the fact that her youngest sister, Sarah, was sneaking away with Billy at any given chance. The day that she discovered they were having an affair was the day that Winnie decided enough was enough. While Sarah was her sister and her only family (aside from Mary) left, Billy was a minor inconvenience and only served as a distraction of her true goal; to remain young.

Winnie sewed his mouth shut so that he was unable to tell her secrets even in death. While also placing a binding curse in which if she were to call upon him he would remain faithful to her aid. Then the day came when she could no longer ignore the screaming fact of aging. Even her lowly, imbecile sisters were noticing the effects. Winnie conjured a potion that would restore their youth. But only if drank by a child. They formed a plan of action; Sarah would sing and call the children, Mary would smell them out and Winifred would brew the potion. It was foolproof. Until a girl caused the entire city of Salem to riot. Mary warned them that a mob was on the way and before they could vanish into the night the boy’s brother found them out.

He was no match for the three sisters and in the end Winnie cast a curse in which he would be forced to turn into a black cat until a virgin lit their black concentrate candle. With the boy out of the way, the Sanderson sisters vanished in the night and found themselves in a new realm. Portus Cale was under the veil of darkness and Winifred was just tickled. Until she realized that the boy had not only been returned to his natural, human state after three hundred years of searching for a place to rest. But he had somehow swapped her Book of Shadows out for a different one. Now she must find the boy Thatchery and her Book of Shadows as well. What better way to find a book but to work among them?

Trim him of his baby fat ||

Mary and Sarah Sanderson-->”Why was I cursed with such idiot sisters?”

Though she doesn’t exactly love her sisters, she does feel a bond with them. After all, who else is going to aid her in her endeavors?

Thatchery Binx-->”Give him fur black as black.”

Nothing more than a mere inconvenience. She loathes him and his entire existence.

Billy Butcherson-->”Unfaithful lover long since dead.”

Reluctantly, she will call him for help from time to time. Rekindling some old feelings. Though she stamps those out right quick.

Maleficent-->”We’ll be younger in the morning.”

The sister she deserves. Finally, someone she can truly confide in and bond with. Over the course of tea and wrath, obviously.

OPEN || TAKEN

All the things I might not be ||

From the moment she was born she was her mother’s pride and joy. There was never a moment spent where the young girl wasn’t smiling or happy. Persephone spent most of her time in the garden with her mother. Learning everything from how to prune the plants to how to plant them properly. Nature was her dearest love and there was never a moment that she didn’t want to spend time with them. There were even several morning where her mother would wake up to find Persephone sleeping in the garden outside. Eventually, her mother opened her own greenhouse and little Persephone was overjoyed to go help. It was here that she met her very best friend; Demeter.

While the two were a few years apart, that never stopped them from bonding over their furious love of nature. They were near inseparable. There was nothing that could tear the two apart. Except when Persephone’s mother fell gravely ill. Being that she was only seventeen at the time, she spent most of her free time tending to her mother and what time she wasn’t was spent tending to the greenhouse and the garden. But eventually the illness won and her mother passed away peacefully in her sleep. Persephone was devastated. Rocked to her core by her mother’s death and with that came a great depression.

Demeter while understanding was growing more impatient with her friend’s mourning. After all, it had been over a year and Persephone was still severely depressed. But when confronted with the fact that she may have to sell the greenhouse in order to profit and make a living, she lashed out. How could she sell the one thing that her mother loved most in this world other than her? Persephone wouldn’t have it and cast Demeter away. Left alone and more depressed than ever, she withdrew into herself. Until the day she met Hades. He offered a calm and soothing hand to her. Promising her a life where she wouldn’t be forced to choose. All she had to do was accompany him to another city. It was in Portus Cale that she found a new sort of home. Opening up her own greenhouse in memory of her mother while working along side her beloved.

A little lonely child lost in Hell ||

Demeter-->”Take her head upon your knee.”

Who was once her best friend. But even so, while one wishes to reconcile the other would rather die.

Hades-->”She that had no need of me.”

Everyone thinks that he tricked her into being by his side. But in truth, she would choose him over and over and over again. In any lifetime, she would always become his in a heartbeat.

Travis Dodge-->”She was so proud and wild, flippant and free.”

They met shortly after her arrival and there seemed to be a little chemistry between the two. While it’s unspoken she and Hades have an understanding of one another. Travis reminds her of the person she was before her mother’s death and there’s apart of her that yearns to be that girl again.

They weren’t kidding when they called me, well, a witch ||

Growing up, the little girl would often watch her mother work her magic. Of course, while her family was incredibly gifted in potion making, that was not the sort of magic she witnessed. Her mother was very persuasive in all her workings. Making a living swindling every man to ever cross her path out of house and home. Manipulation was an art and Ursula was taught it at as soon as she could speak. Everything was going incredibly well until one man her mother had under her thumb was beginning to see through his rose tinted glasses. Her mother had to think fast and as a result she wound up pregnant with Ursula’s little sister Morgana. Being that her sister’s father was quite old, he passed away of a heart attack shortly after his daughter was born. Ursula always suspected her mother had something to do with his death. But to her it was sheer brilliance. Getting them placed in the old man’s will just before he died was the perfect plan and they inherited everything. As she grew older, it became very apparent who their mother favored more. While Morgana was meek and unsure of the way they were living. Ursula welcomed her mother’s teachings with open arms. Listening and watching with wide eyes in awe.  By the time she was eighteen, their mother got in a car accident and died upon impact. Going out in life just as recklessly as she had lived it. With her mother now gone, she left everything she owned to her oldest daughter; Ursula.

Now on her own with all the money she could need, Ursula caught eye of something she did not have. A family of a very wealthy ship owners harnessed something called a trident. It had immensely powerful magic and was to be passed on to their son, Triton. Seeing this, Ursula could not pass this opportunity up. Using everything that her mother daughter her over the years, she managed to woo the would boy. He was easy enough to win over. But the real trick was to do just as her mother had and stage a murder. However, her skills weren’t needed after all. However, she also noticed that her funds were becoming increasingly low. Ursula began to make her own living with making bargains. She would go to those in need and offer her services. Promising them that their goals and dreams would come true…but at a price. As soon as they signed on the dotted line their soul would forever be bound to her and she could use them for whatever she deemed fit. Of course, if they couldn’t adhere to their end of the bargain then their contract would be null and void and their soul would become hers for the taking. No one could ever keep up with their end of the bargain. That wasn’t Ursula’s fault, however. All she did was help them.

As time went on, Triton caught on to what Ursula was doing and ended things with her rather abruptly. He called her a witch and cast her from his realm forever. Of course, he didn’t really have the power to banish her from the realm. So, instead, she vanished to do her biding in secret. Time may have changed but Ursula never once forgot the betrayal that she had felt from Triton. Eventually, her past lover had married and had several daughters. Each one more stubborn and strong willed than the last. Until the day he had Ariel. Ursula watched and waited until the day that girl would come to her for help. When she fell in love, that day came. She sent her henchmen, Flotsam and Jetsam, to recruit the young girl. Ariel was desperate enough to ask for her help to be with her beloved captain somehow. Her voice was known far and wide for its beauty and splendor. Which is exactly what Ursula required from the young girl. Ariel did just as any other of her victims had done and signed on the dotted line. Though this time…she gave Ariel the warning of what would happen should she not hold up her end of the deal. She granted her her freedom and gained her angelic voice. Ursula kept a close eye on the pair and the closer that Eric got to falling in love with her victim, she realized it was her time to strike. However, this being the only time she had actually intervened in one of her deals. Ursula drank a potion that would transform her into a beautiful woman of whom had no image of her own.

Vanessa was the alias she underwent and in the span of a month Eric was madly in love with her. It was hard work keeping up the guise of a lovely woman that he would adore. It also helped that she used the singing voice that had saved him from drowning; Ariel’s. It didn’t take long for him to propose to her and they were married in no time. Sure she had to play the part of a dotting housewife but with the marriage came the end of Ariel’s contract and her soul was hers. What better revenge to be had on a would be husband than to marry the man his daughter loved? Ursula was tickled with herself. Convincing Eric that Portus Cale was the perfect place to raise a family, they up and left to another realm. Putting up an apothecary shop under the title A Little Magic.

The boss is on a roll ||

Ariel-->”You’ve got your looks; your pretty face!”

Being that all she is a pawn in this game of revenge, she works her twice as hard as anyone else. All the while she revels in the fact that not only does she not know that it is her that married her beloved. But also that she got her sweet revenge.

Morgana-->Dear sister

She is well aware of the hatred her sister holds for her. But that doesn’t bother her. After all, she gave her a job working in her apothecary shop. What better way to look like the bigger and better person? However, she is unaware that her sister works her own shop on the side.

Eric-->”Men aren’t all that impressed with conversation. True gentlemen avoid it when they can.”

Despite the fact that the two are married, she feels absolutely nothing for him. He is merely a pawn just like the girl who saved his life. He’s under the impression that his “wife” also works for Ursula. Never putting two and two together.
