== Personality == | |||
Having spent most of her childhood on her own, Lycia is a bit reclusive and hesitant to interact with other people. She prefers to watch things unfold from the sidelines rather than being the center of attention. She is curious, inquisitive, and enjoys learning new things. She also prefers nature, especially forests, to civilization, as she feels more at home there. Lycia also has a practical side, which is reflected in the wristwatch she usually wears, a sturdy self-winding outdoor watch that does not rely on batteries. | Having spent most of her childhood on her own, Lycia is a bit reclusive and hesitant to interact with other people.

She has quickly learned to perform simple [[spells]] without a wand, or even just by willing it, and to bind the magic within her to her body. Lycia being a Visvalker is especially unusual as not only is she not the only Visvalker currently alive, but she actually has befriended [[Kathrin Summerdale]], who is another Visvalker. | ||
== | == Personal History == | ||
Lycia is the daughter of Amelia and Bernard Wintergale. After her birth, her biological parents decided to give her away to allow her a happy childhood rather than growing up in exile. They wove a [[spell]] around her to hide her from magical eyes and left her at the doorstep of Jannet and Brenton Millwright. | Lycia is the daughter of Amelia and Bernard Wintergale.

Shortly after turning 16, her class stayed at a country hostel for a week. There was one student, Charlie Finkle, who constantly bullied her because of her appearance, calling her an old woman and frequently announcing her presence with the words "winter is coming". Eventually, when he wanted to go to bed one evening after teasing Lycia again, he found his room filled with snow. This is how the [[magistry]] learned about Lycia's abilities, and she was enrolled at the [[Greannmhar]] School of Magick as a [[Neophyte]]. On the way there, she met Kathrin Summerdale, and the two quickly became friends. | Shortly after turning 16, her class stayed at a country hostel for a week.

=== Familius | == Special Abilities == | ||
From a very early age, Lycia had a connection with nature, especially forests. She possesses the ability to subconsciously establish a report with any animal with a mind more highly organized than that of generic insects. She can use this to gain the trust of such animals and call them to her, to the point that they will interact with her without fear, and even do what she asks of them. | |||
Lycia has also learnt to control the magic energy flowing through her body, enhancing certain physical abilities. While this is not a unique talent, one of the manifestations of this ability allows her to actually see magic. This is a skill common within the Wintergale family. | |||
== Familius == | |||
A few weeks into her first school year, Lycia and Kathrin encountered a male Cŵn Annwn while walking through the forest after a visit to the village of [[Glenmoor]], located near the school. | A few weeks into her first school year, Lycia and Kathrin encountered a male Cŵn Annwn while walking through the forest after a visit to the village of [[Glenmoor]], located near the school. | ||

== Wand == | |||
The blank for Lycia's wand was crafted from holly and imbued with [[Cŵn Annwn]] hair. It takes the shape of an 80 cm long silver scepter. The design of the scepter is elegant and simple, with a tip that forms an elongated eye, making it resemble an oversized sewing needle. When focusing a particularly large amount of magic or weaving a complex spell, the eye opens wider, and a delicate golden structure appears. | The blank for Lycia's wand was crafted from holly and imbued with [[Cŵn Annwn]] hair.
