Spoiler: Desma Karin
Name: Desma Karin
Age: 29
Gender: Female
City: Corinth
Class: Witch
Appearance: Desma is a queenly woman, lightly tanned skin, proud demeanor, beautiful and cool. Sadly none of this is taken into consideration when you're a Witch with power over the Elements. She's been forced to cut her sandy blonde hair short making her more unattractive to any foolish man with thoughts of wedlock. Along with having to keep her hair short she's made to wear a burlap bag as a dress and unrefined sandals like a common prisoner. Despite all the dehumanization she endures her green eyes remain calm and focused. Because of her extreme focus many think she's always plotting their downfall planning to use her powers to destroy their crops and homes.
What she's allowed to have she carries in a white silk bag that she keeps in the folds of her bag dress. In the bag she carries a few coins, her incense burner and some spices she uses in her meditation, a small pendant that represents Persephone the bride of Hades who she feels most represents her life so far, and some herbs she uses for on the spot patch-ups. Also in the bag she carries a small book with spells and enchantments that she uses when needed. Unbeknownst to many she carries a small knife to fend off the people that attack her for being a Witch. Lastly she has a purple stone in a leather wristband with the same symbol as the pendent in her bag.
Personality: Desma's personality is that of a woman born and educated as a Princess but raised as a Pauper. She always keeps her head up and eyes forward. Despite all the insults and tribulations she's lived she's kept a positive mind-set and embraced her powers as a gift from the Gods she believes that they gave her these powers for a set reason. And she will not shun their judgment. Overall she's fair, kind, strong-willed, and proud.
History: Desma was born into a normal Gods-loving family so they didn't know what to do with a daughter born a Witch. They tried to suppress her powers but as her childhood progressed they grew more and more wild. The worst part was they spiked-up at random and in powerful bursts. She'd be sitting at the table playing with her dolls then suddenly they'd burst into flames startling the girl making her throw the toy and set the curtains on fire. Soon her parents were fed up and tried to "purify" her by sending her to the Temple of Hera in hope that the Priestesses could cure her, they never succeeded.
After many tries at many different Temples Desma's parents couldn't find a way to curb her powers which grew everyday. On the dawn of her 15 birthday she left her home so she wouldn't disgrace them anymore she chose the life of a Street Urchin but she never expected the cruelty other would show her just for being a Witch. From the outset she was attacked and stripped of all her possessions including her white robes. In place of her garbs she was thrown into a burlap sack stitched and patched up and smelling like it was taken off one of the dead Beggars that slink around Corinth. This was just the beginning of her life as an Outcast.
From her 15th birthday to her 29th she was put through every cruelty one woman could take. She was beaten many times by both men and women. She lost count of all the times she was raped or forced to walk through the streets naked. Her hair was cut on the spot whenever someone thought it was too long and for many months she was bald it's only just started to grow back. The cruel citizens of Corinth took every chance to belittle and destroy her but despite all the obstacle Desma never stopped training her powers to be controlled and utilized when needed.
She took up meditation as a way to channel all her problems into an energy force for her powers if you will. Along with control of her powers the meditation allowed her to keep a calm head among the chaos of her life. She heard of the Shades attacking and destroying the land and saw it as a chance to get some respect for her powers and hopefully be allowed back into her family.
Weapon(s): Hard-wood staff with deer antlers mounted on top like a spear and her small dagger.
Magic: Power to control the Elements and use them as weapons or defenses.
