Witches Are Made #19: No Place Like Home
That's where I spent my day off today, just clicking my fingers, keys, and mouse buttons together and trying to make magic happen, and I was successful. I have completed two characters in the past three days (only one of which I will share with you here because the first character I finished would be a spoiler if I showed you now).
I chose to name this post "No Place Like Home" because my latest character is an Elemental Witch based on Glinda of the North from The Wizard Of Oz. She has not yet been included in any contests (although my other character was entered into an Insect/Archnid/Crustacean-Inspired Characters Contest and failed to place in the polls despite the prevalence of less impressive designs), but I plan on using her in something soon, should the right contest open up. Here's Linda Norgood, alias Hidrea, the Elemental Witch of Water:
Name: Hidrea
Alias: Linda Norgood
Team Affiliations: Coven of Tonnta, Atlantis (Irish/Atlantean dual citizenship)
Enemies: Theodora Kindle, Coven of Lasair, Society of Foes
Race: Human/Atlantean
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland
Powers/Abilities: Skilled surfer and deep-sea diver, well-versed in Tonntan magics (Hydrokinesis)
Bio: Linda Norgood's father was a high-ranking member of the IRA's naval forces, and the only male child born into the Coven of Tonnta at the time. Although he exhibited no talent for Tonntan magic (an ability found only in women of the Tonnta bloodline), Timothy Norgood carried a genetic abnormality that converts all of the water in the human body into Knavium-Hydrate (that's water, molecularly bonded with Knavium). This genetic mutation endowed him with above-average human abilities that ultimately helped him to achieve his superior naval rank.
Linda's mother was an Atlantean princess named Locasta, who came to the surface on a mission of peace to the Irish coast. The two met while Timothy was on shore leave and a romance developed.
Timothy Norgood was eventually killed in action, and Locasta (now a widow) left Atlantis temporarily to raise her daughter on the shores of Ireland.
A tenuous peace existed for many years between the Republic and the Southern Kingdom, until Jocasta (the interim queen of Atlantis, Locasta's twin sister, and Linda's aunt) hired Theodora Kindle to assassinate Locasta. Linda took up the cause her father had died for, rallying the remaining members of the IRA to aid in her mission of revenge against the mercenary fire witch, and war broke out anew on the emerald isle.
Despite her vengeful nature, Linda's favorite color is pink. As such, that is the color her magic manifests in. Linda Norgood possesses the ability to surround any nearby water molecules in a pink energy and form them into whatever shape she desires. This is usually a bubble or a surfboard. She can also summon waves or concentrate the energized water into a projectile blast. While in the bubble, she is able to breathe under water and shield herself from most conventional ammunition.
Note: I used two Irish/Gaelic words for the coven names. Lasair has to do with fire (flames), and Tonnta is something to do with waves.
Not the best bio story I've come up with, but to be fair I did this at two o'clock in the morning. Hope you enjoyed it anyway. I'm in a creative rut HeroMachine-wise, but stay tuned for more of whatever I have for you next. Perhaps DJ Timedrop will put in an appearance?
I'm out.
