Bio

Nobody truly knows where this sassy, lost child comes from—each time you ask, the stories she’ll tell will be about as grandiose and far-fetched as the rest of her imagination. According to her, she’s the last remaining witch of a lost Wiccan Electi coven from the Scottish Highlands, wandering the States from across the pond in search of her missing mother and a way to reclaim her forgotten heritage. It’s really anyone’s guess whether that’s all fake, real, or something vaguely in between.

What is certain is this: Gyssabel is clever, cunning, and never without a backup plan. Her magic is real, her cackle is wicked and loud, and her sense of fun is borderline criminal. Now living under the (mostly) watchful eye of ERA Security, she spends much of her time causing mischief, dodging consequences, testing everyone’s patience, and making her unfortunate roommate, Ridley, live to instantly regret it.

Whenever you manage to find her (or rather, when she finds you), she might offer her “witch services”, whatever they may be that day, in exchange for favors, bribes, gossip, or sheer entertainment. Cross her, and you’ll see why she calls herself the Greatest Witch in Montana. But no matter what she does with her illusions, she’ll always do it with a smile. Just whatever you do, don’t touch her wand.

Electi

Gyssabel is able to conjure visual hallucinations powerful enough to fill her and/or her recipients’ entire field of vision, and have multiple people experience them at the same time. She is also able to conjure auditory illusions to a weaker extent. The ability is limited only to the user’s imagination. Visual illusions can be bypassed by looking through a digital or filtered lens, and auditory illusions cannot mute or override sounds made in reality.

She uses a wooden “magic” wand to summon most of these illusions, though the wand itself is not the source of her power nor an item contingent on activating said ability, but merely a means by which to express herself. Without her wand, her power becomes severely limited.

Relationships

bob

Friends. Often mistakes him for a jungle gym.

carrie

Moreso business partners than friends. Carrie seems to think the latter, which she is fine with if it means she gets to call in more favors.

charlie

Her primary guardian and the one most often catching her in trouble. Hates that he isn't around other than that, but respects his ethics.

clyde

Friends. Feeds into his brash and self-important attitude to distract him from who's really pulling the strings when he's away.

joan

Her guardian. Loves to toy with, and easiest to get away with things from.

kay

Sees as a sister figure with a similar backstory. Sadly, they never seem to make enough time for each other.

lily

Friends. Would much prefer her as a babysitter if she wasn't so busy biting other people.

nova

Friends(?). This thing is DEFINITELY a cryptid. Possibly fairykind, must be cautious.

oliver

Her guardian. Most comfortable around him for sharing personal issues, but finds him plagued with much worse issues himself.

ridley

Despises and disgusted by him seemingly out of jealousy for getting more attention and care from his past mistakes, whereas she gets ignored and punished for her accomplishments. Ridley suspects it goes deeper than that, however.

skyber

Loves living out her wild imaginations while working under her at the Clover.

suzy

De facto guardian and first maternal figure she's had in years. Also makes excellent tea and apple pie.

walt

he will pay.
