12. Zohal's immediate family, as far as she remembers, were mundane, ordinary people. This claim is further backed up by Azizam, despite not having been manifested at the time. Instead it is her mother's sister who created their magical lineage, marrying a witch and having children who are also witches. Her aunt is a starcaller, while her uncle deals primarily with enchantment. Her cousins are naturally predisposed to those domains, though some of them chose to study the more elemental domains.

[attr="class","sylphie"]12. What is the magical makeup of your character's family? Are they all starcallers? Was your character born to human parents?
Giselle, Sylphie’s mother, was a woman born with a weak constitution and often fell ill; but she was freewheeling and forthright, and hailed from a long line of powerful starcallers — rich, noble, far too austere. Her leaving surprised no one; in fact, perhaps her family was happy to be free of such a ‘burden’. She has subsequently been blotted out from the family’s records and deemed a failure.
( "But it’s all right," she murmurs to a wide-eyed four-year-old Sylphie one evening, lovingly threading stardust through her hair. "The house you’re raised in isn’t always the same thing as a home. It took leaving what I knew growing up to find that my true home was here—with you, with Papa."
Sylphie learns from her father, just a month after her mother passes away, that she’d always laughed a little louder when the wind picked up—in hopes the sound of her joy would be carried back to shore, to the ears of those who told her she’d never go anywhere. )
On the other hand, August Reuenthal—Sylphie’s father—gentle and soft-spoken, was born completely ordinary, not a trace of magic to his name. However, it never seemed to bothered him, for he was happy with what he had: the people he’d found, the place he’d made for himself. Magic, he says, probably wouldn’t have changed much—and he knew better than to want what he couldn’t have.
There was nothing to envy about his family, really. They’ve lived quietly, like all generations before them, never making waves—
—or so they would have you believe.
What they don’t—or perhaps the better word is can’t—tell you is that their origins are rooted in the far-flung past, traced back to an age that extends beyond the memory of any living person today, yesterday, a century ago. That theirs was a bloodline once known for magic embodying the greatest forces of nature—
...and that their ancestors have worked tirelessly to erase themselves and their mistakes from the annals of history, leaving only a changed name and a warning: do not seek that which slumbers beneath the valley of regrets.
( There is precious little Sylphie knows of her own family, and that which she does is only through the cryptic verse her father’s grandmother had once recited to him:
“We fled our homeland, abandoned our cradle. We’ve forgotten its stories, but we know how it feels. I believe what I’ve heard whispered in legend:
“The sound of the world is the sound of breathing is the sound of the ocean, which you listen to without speaking or singing or breathing. A moment passes, two moments pass, until dozens and hundreds of years pass in silence.
“Even in shallow dreams, you feel its eyes bore into yours, yearning to slowly crawl in through old wounds reopened. But before you can awaken, it pulls you into its embrace, and you sink into its blood and shadow and sun—soundless, eyeless, lifeless—as tranquil as a shining star.” )
And now, here’s the takeaway: Sylphie possesses every drop of the insatiable curiosity her mother once had, and armed with it, even the Reuenthal family curse will not be enough to deter her in her quest for answers, in spite of all her ancestors it has claimed.

02. Why did your character give their familiar that particular name?
Why would anyone—oh, right. With her clan, no one names their own familiar. To do so would imply that the witch is the true master of this relationship. They have a whole system in place based on the location where the spirit is first summoned. Currently, the name Sotenbori is unique, but that has more to do with nobody expecting Violet to become a magic-user. The witches don't normally end up near the specific river needed to be called this.

002 names are both important to zoya, and not. she's had so many over the years that it's difficult to assign them importance, but she's chosen some of them with care for legacy and new beginnings. 'katyuska' means pure, because her familiar is the kindest part of her, and is the core part of her that will never change regardless of how many times she needs to shed her skin.[break][break]
009 zoya really could not care less about covens. she's just in pegasus to keep an eye on sef, that's all. if she had to pick a coven to join, she'd probably have chosen a small one centred around mediwitches and medimagic; pegasus is too big, too chaotic, too many people for her tastes. but she begrudgingly admits that it's probably the best one out of the big three — cerbarus is far too full of politics and nobles, and sybaris too full of ambitious zealots and dubious reputation issues.

02. Why did your character give their familiar that particular name?
"Have you heard of past lives? Do you believe in them?" young Thea asked seemingly to no one, pruning the leaves of the rose bush on the church grounds. The butterfly perched in her hair fluttered her wings. The girl smiled, and continued snipping at the bush. It was looking very nice and neat now.
"I think I lived a life like this before."
In another time, in another body, she dreamed flickers of a building of worship just like this, but different. The world then was vibrant with spirits, from nature and from the passed. She remembered a man who spoke in kind radiance that almost frightened her, not unlike Father now. She wondered if some of the spirits here knew of that place.
"My name then was... Kiseki. So I'll call you that. Does that sound weird?"
Silence. Then Thea laughed.
"You sound just like that me."

She's been putting off thinking about any second domains, because the first answer seemed too obvious. I mean, this whole struggle of trying to lean summoning (when she's not good at it) began as an escape from Enchantment. That's the family specialty. Nearly every witch in the Edwards family has an innate talent for Augmentation, or decides to pick up Charms later on. Sort of expected that she'll end up the same.
Billie Jean wants something less generic—to be less interchangeable—which leads to her spending time with those rare, purely human relatives down in the Vale. See, they like building things, and it turns out that she does too. So what's a domain that lets her just double down on making stuff out of magic? Alchemy? That's too much like cooking and Homunculi are kinda creepy What else is there?
Oh yeah, enchantment. Took a long road to get back to the start. By the time she's ready to start a new domain, she should be in a better headspace to actually learn this time. Maybe even grow to like it.

001 Ditto's always acted like everything is a hilarious joke that nobody but him understands. Something about a fake world and an author and an RP? He follows Ling around mostly amused at her life, and seems to devote his life purpose to eating anything he shouldn't.[break][break]
002 To be honest, Ditto chose his name himself. He seems to think it's funny, for some reason. Sometimes he answers questions with just his name, and laughs as if it's a private joke. "It's a Pokémon thing," he says as the only explanation, which clarifies absolutely nothing.[break][break]
003 Ditto just... appeared one day. "Oh. I'm in the wrong RP huh," he said, and refused to elaborate. Ling was still a kid and absolutely ecstatic at manifesting a familiar, and so very curious as to what he was. Everyone else was just... so confused. So very confused.[break][break]
004 Lol the world is fake anyway. The author will save you. Probably.[break][break]
005 Ling often says things like "no don't eat that, spit it out!" and "cannibalism is bad!" and "uhhh I don't think you were meant to be able to do that..." Clearly though, it's an eat-or-be-eaten world. The world isn't even real anyway, what does morality or the rules of reality matter when you're just a character being written by a clueless author?

06. Is your character big on celebrations (birthdays/Christmas/festivals)? How do they celebrate?
Personally, Nari likes quiet celebrations of her birth, but tends to get showered with fan gifts and have a big show made out of it from her record label. Mingling with other idols, business executives and sponsors are expected for Christmas parties and the like.
13. When was the last time your character cried and why?
Like seriously ugly crying? Probably when Nari's girl group, Dream Girls, disbanded after only a year since debut. Rumours had it that Nari was the cause of the disbanding. She has denied this. The official stance was due to "creative differences" between the girls.

12. the Avira's were renowned for their skills in pyros magic. when Rowan Avira first took sight of her new daughter; Sienna, she thought it was another powerful pyro witch in the bloodline. but discovering she was more inclined to aer magicks, well that snapped something in her. how could she face the loyalists of Cerberus like this? what protection could Sienna offer the world and what enforcement of justice could she instil with a breeze? [break][break] her father possessed only a dusting of pyro magic, picked to simply 'carry on' the legacy - an arranged marriage. he was enchanting in his own way, sienna remembered. where her mother ruled with power, he was soft-spoken ... timid. weak. or so her mother would say. [break][break] one older brother, three younger siblings. they all lived up to the expectations, but after Sienna well .. the bar was so low they merely had to produce a flicker of embers after her footsteps.

02. Why did your character give their familiar that particular name? Cerise, meaning cherry, was given in inspiration from an old song Le Temps des Cerises, translated to The Time of Cherries. It's an old expression for the peaceful years before accepting death, a stark contradiction to Henri's dangerous strive for survival from adolescence to now. Though... suppose Henri had accepted that he could die at any time since then, even if it might not be peaceful.

02. Why did your character give their familiar that particular name?[break][break]
arcturus asterious-yeong hasn't given his familiar a name yet. this is because arcturus asterious-yeong is still not entirely convinced the snake is not a hallucination brought upon by the grief of losing his wife. [break][break]
( sometimes, he finds himself contemplating names. star-related names, of course. calliope, cassiopeia, eridanus, vela, mariska, etc. he thinks the snake is feminine-identifying. don't ask him how he knows - he can't exactly tell you either, and is quite uncomfortable at the fact that he still knows. )[break][break]
( other times, he finds himself thinking of the snake as an extension of the magic his wife had left him. would it not be right, then, to name the snake after her? reena, from carina, like a starbirth from the dust of a dead star. )[break][break]
05. What kind of arguments does your character have with their familiar?[break][break]
unsurprisingly, their primary argument is of whether or not the snake is actually real or not. turus can get quite invested in the debate until he realises that he may or may not be arguing with a figment of his imagination, or a psychic break. he then becomes too disturbed to respond.

[nospaces] [attr="class","amari"] 07. The von Aegirs are one of the prominent war families of Cerberus. Unfortunately, what was originally a large family has now been reduced to one heir. There are a variety of reasons, but it can all be traced back to the Great War. [break][break] Countless deaths were attributed to soldiers lost in battle. And even if they did not survive, summoning was an incredibly taxing domain. They pushed the limits of their magic beyond what was effectively safe. The consequences were not pretty; lifespans drastically cut, eternal sickness, and the loss of mind. All wrought by extreme mana exertion. [break][break] Additionally, the von Aegirs were wholly dedicated to the war efforts. Even if that meant committing atrocities and war crimes; it was deemed necessary for the greater good. It would be no surprise then, for Hydra to retaliate. [break][break] These actions would result in consequences even post war. Amari's family perished as a result, leaving them as the sole heir. To say that the von Aegir house has fallen is an understatement. Why Hydra decided to let Amari survive is unknown even to them, but they've determined that they will get their revenge, no matter the cost. [break][break] Thus continuing the cycle of retribution. [break][break] 10. Amari joined Cerberus in a post-Warzwick era, and having seen the power of covens become gradually stripped away the hands of a groveling council man in disguise was, in light terms, a disgrace to Cerberus. [break][break] They have seen the coven change and morph under the hands of multiple leaders, and being an unconventional person himself, it is only natural that Cassidy Wolfe has Amari's full support. The modernization of Cerberus's structure towards a meritocracy is a great improvement.
[break][break]Despite being a noble, Amari hates mediocrity more than anything, and nepotism only contributes to it. So long as Cassidy Wolfe continues on this path, Amari von Aegir is more than happy to follow her.

02. Why did your character give their familiar that particular name?
Honey, love, dearest, babe, sweetie, darling. This little sparrow has gone through many nicknames over the years, more nicknames than even her witch can remember at a time. Though most have been different alterations of affectionate pet names, there have also been instances of Snowbelle, Golden Girl, Peek-A-Boo, Goldilocks, Baby Kryptonite, and pretty much anything pop culture that has come and would come to Eleanor's mind.
Darling has never minded. She appreciates her witch's creativity, as well as the special care she has to always make it something cute, something that makes her feel loved and appreciated.
