Still not enough glasses!

Overview

Description

A somewhat plain woman of her mid-twenties wearing expensive styles, with mousy brown hair and dark blue eyes. She has a remarkable collection of eyewear in a number of unusual styles, and tends to wear colored glass jewelry instead of more common gemstones.

Background

Born in a small village a few miles outside of Paris, Claudie descends from a very long line of Verditus glassmiths, dating from the time when the House was one of the largest in the Order. She has spent much of her life immersed in the making and shaping of glass and taken to it as at least one in a generation before her has. Changing times have shifted her priorities away from merely preserving traditions like her now-estranged mentor uncle once did, to the modernization of the families' practices so that they might be able to continue their techniques in the future.

Already an accomplished adept of the art, an eighteen year-old Claudie moved to Canada for seven years to get a formal education and then returned to Paris to open her own optometry practice. There she casually weaves her magick with the mundane arts, offering sleepers wondrous vision and beautifully hand-crafted custom eyewear.

In her private workshop she mixes the old ways with the new, even dabbling with custom automotive parts (her second passion) as an elaboration of her craftsmanship.

Paradigm

Claudie's magic is focused on the processing and refinement through the pure element of glass, which exists in a paradox nestled between the four other classical elements: refined from the earth through fire and flowing like water until it meets the caress of the air, which it both contains but is contained by. Her family has traditionally incorporated powdered gemstones into their glass to give is mystical properties useful to other magi, although she is equally adept at making use of other substances to strengthen her creations.

More importantly, she's begun to borrow from the Solficati and the now-defunct Thig, using technological devices made of glass to broaden her options. She's rather fond of glasses but also modern smartphones, car headlights and even specific kinds of transistors that incorporate a very pure and useful form of glass for her to manipulate.

Foci and Spheres

Correspondence 3// Mirrors, lenses and other clear or polished glass surfaces.

Matter 3// Special lenses, refinement and condensation in glass tubes.

Mind 2// Glasses, mirrors and noisy glass trinkets.

Prime 2// Jars or vials of reactive substances, glass cables and transistors.

Backgrounds

Avatar 3// A vision of a crystal songbird often visits Claudie in her dreams, its song echoing throughout the glass and crystal that surrounds her.

Resources 4// Runs a successful optometry business, and can afford regular vacations with the young niece she has guardianship over.

Merits and Flaws

Merits

Acute Sense (Vision) 1// -2 dif to Awareness and Alertness rolls involving vision, and 1 sux to vision-based sensing spells.

Crack Driver 1// -2 dif to Drive rolls.

Flaws

Allergy 1// Allergic to dust. Has given up on using physical codexes and only reads photocopies on her tablet.

Clothing Fetish 1// Must wear (even cosmetic) glasses or take a -1 penalty that scene. 1 WP to ignore.

Echoes 1// Thin glass and crystal sings faintly when touched, window panes ripple. Probably why her optometry practice has classical music playing whenever she's in office- the strings cover up the sound.

Ward 3// A cute niece who might have a troublesome destiny of her own.
