Violette Voclain

Overview

Background

Born to an impeccable but illegitimate pedigree, Violette grew up without knowing anything of magick, the Order and her true parentage. After being abandonned by her mother, she was adopted by a couple of American circus performers who were living in Rome. Although somewhat atypical, she grew up in pleasant circumstances and took to the semi-nomadic life of her parents very well, moving from city to city without complaint. Deciding that she wanted to follow her parents' footsteps, she dedicated herself to the circus as well, picking up great skill at physically-intense nouveau cirque acrobatics and experimenting with stage magic and commedia dell’arte.

Backgrounds

Avatar 5// An ethereal woman with skin like alabaster and mismatched eyes stands atop a tower of glass and copper alloyed with gold, beneath a giant red sun that blackens the landscape and burns all to cinders. Unharmed by the heat, she stands surrounded by a panoply of small wonders. The metal and glass nearest to her are as soft as clay or taffy, allowing her to twist both into her menagerie.

Destiny 2// Destined to live in bright and interesting days; whether good or bad is up for grabs.

Resources 3// Receives a handsome stipend from her family. Actually a somewhat popular street magician, as well.

Legend 5// The Bright Child

Spirit Mentor 7// Lord Balor, lord of the Formorians

Favored of the Formorian lord Balor for the power of her gaze and destructive power, despite her being yet incapable of visitation of the Umbra on her own. He taught her the arts of weaving power into staves and of destructive power of focused eyes. He visits her in her dreams, held back from plundering her mind for Glamour by the puissance of her Avatar and the vagueries of fate, which have declared her a grandchild by proxy and thus as much of a danger to him as Lugh was in ancient times. As a consequence of this patronage, both the Seelie and Unseelie courts have a curious and somewhat malign interest in her.

• Themes: Destruction, drought, plague and other disasters; kingship.
• Realm: Deep Dreaming (Imprisoned)

Status 2// Hailed as the renewal of a bloodline of Verditus magi, commanding substantial respect. Loses some for playing at being a debased street magician, though.

Wonder 5// Voclain's Cabochon - (Quintessence 30/30)

A fine cabochon of an unidentified gemstone said to be found on the Moon. The symbol of the lineage of Voclain Balestrini, one of Verditus' own disciples and a master of wandcraft said to have been taught by the faeries of Italy. His household continued the tradition throughout the centuries until persecution by the Catholic Inquisition and repression under the fascists bled them dry and most of their Awakened members died out. In the modern age, only two members are proper members of the Order of Hermes. As symbol of her inheritance of the lineage the periapt has been granted to Violette, who wears it as a glass eye and has been made to swear stricter oaths than are usually required to use it.

• Resonance: Dynamic (Energetic/Playful/Imaginative)
• Processes Quint into any of three types of Dynamic essence and provides them to the user on demand.
• Must be of the lineage of Voclain.
• Must carry oath to the legacy of Voclain and House Verditus to wield.
