American Witch in London
Hey guys!
I am Serey, a new person, and this is Elizabeth, a witch aligned with Circle Daybreak hailing originally from BioShock Infinite (the main game, no DLC. ...otherwise she'd probs be Midnight for sure HA HA.......). She's just arrived in London after escaping a highly dangerous and abusive dark magic cult in Virginia, and is looking to hide until an American clan of witch hunters can be convinced she's definitely not the heir to it. Elizabeth is highly self-educated in most things, except for her own magical gifts. In fact, she has a hard time controlling her abilities when things go wrong (which is how she and one other person managed to level an entire coven in a few days). She's been kept in isolation most of her life, but she still loves meeting people and experiencing new things. At the moment, she's attending the University of Westminster as part of a long-term science-and-engineering exchange program, as well as trying to learn how to better control her magic from her fellow witches in Circle Daybreak.

If you like to jump into a Daybreak thing Norrell is actually running a territory claim for them, at the moment! He's trying to bring the CRIMINAL DANGEROUS territory of Lambeth under their jurisidiction!
You can read about it here and sign up to have her support here!
I also play Lancelot, who is also Daybreak! He is

OH GOSH, INSTANT POLITICS, yes I'll have to read up on it! I may try to get her intro'd first before dumping her into stuff, she's literally just gotten off a plane. 8Db
B'aw, but Liz loves the grumps. c8 Still, all manner of friends will be totally welcome~ ♥

ICly it wont run until next week, ish, probably lasting the week! I think (?) Sign ups to have an impact on the outcome (The mod calculates win/loss based on how many characters put their name to it) stop... tomorrow, maybe? BUT you always jump in late just to thread even without that c: Or sign up to 'be involved' and just have that be 'SHE TURNS UP ON THE LAST DAY WITH STARBUCKS LOOKING HORRIFIED AND CASTS A FEW SPELLS'.
It isnt as if Norrell cares so long as he WINS and can be overly proud. If he loses, however, the worst tantrum.

HE WANTS TO WIN REALLY BADLY OKAY, HE'S PAYING PEOPLE TO HELP HIM WIN
So everyone will be impressed by his victory and applaud him and so on and so forth. You know. Honours and accolades etc etc. Also: The Greater Good.

Yeah I could see her showing up late and being like, "WELP, IF YOU GUYS KICK IT, I'M TOTES SCREWED." She'll ask why all this ridiculousness was necessary later. 8[
no subject
PS if you wanted to, you could have her be in Norrell's coven 83 then she would be subjected to his bookish lectures all day every day
no subject
Sheeee might enjoy bookish lectures! Really, she's joining Daybreak because she has a p. bad control problem, so she's trying to learn. :< Guided study would be great.
no subject
(Said friend is more in favour of wild fae magic though, so you know)
ETA: OH RIGHT YOU SAW THE SERIES DIDNT YOU thats how Strange describes learning from him in the book, haha!
no subject
I think Liz would be down to do careful book-learning in Norrell's coven for a while! It might actually be interesting to have her in the middle, somewhere between Norrell and Strange? She's def not in favor of fae magic (her mother was sold out by a fae and ended up dead WHOOPS), but she's at a point where she's learning that not everything revolves around books. COULD BE FUN OR SOMETHING. /o/ She is a young and spirited American, wanting to be book-learned but also willing to pop someone in the nose if necessary. 8]
