PERSONALITY

Misty is a free-spirted, earthy, and lonely young woman who is still searching for a place to belong. As a result of being betrayed and killed by her own people, then living alone deep in the swamps, she is desperate for genuine affection and love, quickly attaching herself to anyone who shows her kindness, though there is always that underlying fear of abandonment.

Misty has a deep connection to the natural world, finding great solace in her gardens and in the wildlife of the Louisiana swamps. She loves all animals, even dangerous ones like alligators, going through great lengths to protect them and despising anyone who brings harm to an animal. This compassion extends to humans as well - if she senses a recent untimely death, she will seek out the person in order to revive them or she will take in an injured person and personally nurse them back to health with her magic. However, despite her kind nature, Misty can be very vindictive and is capable of great violence when she or someone/something she loves is threatened. In a fight, she does not depend solely on her magic - she is quite willing to use her fists too.

Misty views herself as a white witch, using her magic for good, and sees her powers as a gift from God. Even after being burned at the stake by her church community, she maintains her belief in God, though she is much more spiritual than religious, having very little formal education in theological matters. For that matter, she is not highly educated at all, and that, along with her dreaminess, naivety, and backwoods upbringing, often leads people to think she’s unintelligent, when actually she proves to be an eager student.


ABOUT

"The Swamp Mud is a metaphor, her metaphor. She's a sophisticated witch with extraordinary gifts. Hiding out as a hippie swamp rat. From humble hillbilly stocks, she's been a witch since birth. Her power and humanity separating her from everyone around her. In fact, those around her tried endlessly to destroy her in order to mask their own evil purposes. Yet she rose from the ashes stronger than ever, more fully realized. A living testament to the greater ideals of our coven. Power, compassion, and uniqueness. We are lucky to have found her and she us." - Myrtle Snow


ABILITIES

  • Resurgence - Resurrection of the dead (body, mind, and soul). Can also resurrect herself. Along with this are powers of healing and growth. By far her strongest power.
  • Telekinesis - Slowly growing stronger.
  • Concilium - Mind Control
  • Transmutation - More commonly known as transportation - Misty can instantly move from one place to another.
  • Potioncraft - Knowledge of herbalism, botanical sciences, and potion brewing. Also called “Green Magic.”
  • Divination - Strongest when it comes to matters of death. She also can sense other magic users/nonhuman creatures and their alignment with good or evil.
  • Spellcraft - Weakest ability, as she is mostly untrained and has no access to a spellbook.
