Appearance:
Asa’s hair is naturally completely white, with absolutely no color in it. Since it’s the apocalypse, and long hair tends to get in the way, Asa’s hair is short and in a pixie cut, with one side short, with a side part, while the larger portion of the part is longer and highly textured, courtesy of Taeyang’s free haircuts. Although her hair is definitely eye-catching, the thing that brings most people’s attention are her stunning eyes, which are rather interesting, as both eyes are a light blue, but one seems a bit more grey in color than the other. They are her most stunning feature, especially since they are the lightest eyes in the witch community.
~~~
Her cheeks are relatively rounded, with a sharp jawline and thin lips. Asa’s nose is straight, and pointed at the tip, it should be crooked but due to her accelerated healing, it has remained perfect. Across her nose and cheeks are a dash of freckles, which also are splattered across her arms, back, and legs. Asa’s skin doesn’t lack all pigment like her hair though, and due to spending the majority of her time outside, she has a decent tan. It counters her white hair pretty nicely, so she isn’t all colorless.
~~~
More than half the time, Asa’s nose and mouth are covered by either a bandana or scarf, depending on the weather or what better matches her outfit. This also covers her scarred face, the leftovers from her younger years where her accelerated healing could not aid her during her fits of rage from her exposure to The Mist. Asa has a thin, but dark scar cutting vertically through her lip, another set of three scars begin at her cheekbones and cut down to her jaw, claw marks. They are old, and faded, but still there, and tell of a fierce battle between some, large, mutated animal and Asa. No one other than Kit knows what animal made the scars, and Asa prefers to keep it that way.
Those are definitely not the only scars on Asa’s body though, and there is very little space on her body that doesn’t have a scar or two. One of such places is her left shoulder, but instead of having scars, there is a tattoo.
~~~
Asa has quite a few tattoos, all of which have meanings, though the meanings are unknown to everyone but herself. This, of course, is by her own choice, and even Kit respects that, as he understands that his witch does have a life of her own, as does he.
The first tattoo is a beautiful black rose on Asa’s left shoulder. It is absolutely stunning against her skin and is very dear to her. As a plant enthusiast, as well as a former owner of a flower shop (she’s had a lot of lives okay?) where she made bouquets regularly, she knows how different flowers mean certain things. The black rose for her personally means both mourning and a big change. (Since I am, her creator and this tattoo is important I will be giving the entire meanings, not just the basic one)
The black rose represents Jason, in all his many forms. Although Asa stopped looking for him after that wonderful (kinda terrifying) life they shared together, he is never far from her mind. Truthfully, she mourns the fact that he is not a witch, and that he will never truly remember her in the way that she’ll always remember him. Thankfully, she has yet to see him since that life, and hopes that the apocalypse keeps him a far distance away from her, (or he just is dead, that would be fine too) so she doesn’t have to experience that ever growing pain of Jason not ever remembering her.
The other meaning to the flower is just as deep, and has to deal with Asa herself. Lilith has lived many, many centuries, and knows that she is not perfect, nor will she ever be. What she regrets most are those years where she was weak enough to be controlled by Jolon, those lives were filled with a terrifying amount of bloodshed and wars. The flower is a reminder that she can never allow herself to revert back to such a state ever again, and to always remember that she has to be the one making changes to herself, and no one else can do that.
~~~
On her back right before it turns into her neck is a simple tattoo of the sunrise. It is made mostly of just lines, with little, simple mountains in front of it. There is no color to this tattoo, and the meaning isn’t much, just that Asa has always loved sunrises, and the sun itself has always been meaningful.
~~~
On Asa’s right side, from her ribs down to a bit below her hip, is a phoenix. It is intricate, and has red highlights instead of being just plain black. This was probably the most painful tattoo for Asa, and she’ll freely admit it. The pain was definitely worth it though, and Asa absolutely adores the tattoo.
~~~
The last tattoo is on her right arm, from the elbow down are vines wrapping around the entirety of her arm. They are simple, but very meaningful to her.
~~~
Another random, unannounced addition to Asa are her piercings, which she got on some mission. She left, and two weeks later came back with piercings. She has a septum, standard lobes in both ears, one industrial in her left ear, and an upper lobe in each ear. She quite enjoys the way she looks, and is rather proud of the piercings, as needles have never been quite her thing.
~~~
In this life, Asa isn’t short, in fact, she’s around 5’7, which is relatively tall for a woman. Unlike her two partners in crime, (Taeyang and Reginald) Asa is not lanky, and has real muscle on her. She is not a body builder by any means, but she is not a stick like her friends. Due to her being very ill, she can’t always rely on her powers to be helpful, so she pushed herself to become stronger, and has the body of a wrestler. With strong arms, and thick thighs, not to mention the pretty decent six pack, Asa keeps the unwanteds out of Dawn’s Bliss, as she is a particularly intimidating figure.
Asa holds herself tall and proud, a result of ages and ages of knowledge and just general living. Despite that, Asa often has a mischievous grin on her face, and sometimes that can be a bit more terrifying than her frown.
~~~~~
Personality:
Being an absolutely ancient witch means that Asa has seen, and endured many things, especially considering that for a good portion of her lives she was under Jolon’s influence. Although she does not let it show, this has taken a toll on her, as 9,000+ years of living and remembering would do to anyone. Asa has seen countless wars, pandemics, and scenarios that seemed like the apocalypse, but nothing like this. The 23 years she’s been living in this life have been filled with one disaster after another, after her last few lives that had been filled with accomplishments in the witch community, she’d been hoping for a relatively relaxed life this time around, maybe even become immortal for a little bit. Of course, Asa had no such luck.
~~~
Her mother, a witch that died soon after birth to Asa, named her Lilith, as witch parents often name their children after their most notable lives, and Asa’s aura radiated off her in waves within hours of her birth. Fortunately for Asa, her father was a bit more forgiving of Asa’s… bloody past and gave her the middle name Asa, a name that she much prefers to the bloodied history of Lilith.
~~~
Asa is truly a delight to be around, with a constant grin and a flirtatious attitude. Much like Taeyang, she is not looking for anything permanent, and just prefers having fun between her missions. Fawn is the only sort of exception to this rule. Fawn is a dryad, and her dwarf lemon tree is within Dawn’s Bliss’ bubble. Fawn and Asa get along… very well, and both Taeyang and Reginald like her, Kit doesn’t, though Asa isn’t quite sure why. Regardless, Asa easily pulls in the ladies and men (and anyone else), but while at Dawn’s Bliss, Asa’s eyes remain only on Fawn, or her family, for obvious reasons.
~~~
A true joker at heart, Asa pulls many pranks, and at times, seems pretty immature despite her age. Truthfully, this is just the result of years of war and lives of no laughter. Asa just wants to be allowed to be herself, even if she doesn’t really know who she is anymore.
For the most part, Asa has thrown herself into her work. There are very few instances where she can be found at Dawn’s Bliss for more than a week. Asa really can’t sit still, and prefers the dangers of the outside world to the boring tavern that Taeyang owns. Besides, Asa’s bond with nature is finally strengthening to what it once was, and being out and about only helps the bond. Nature has always been very important to her, and the opportunity she has to strengthen that bond is one that she would not pass up.
~~~
Despite her seemingly mischievous nature and happy demeanor, no one can ever remain so happy for so long, especially with such a burden on her shoulders. Asa has lived for a long time, too long to be honest. She has seen wars and death and life, but she grows weary of it all, and sometimes wishes that she could forget it all, for forgetting seems like it would be much better than remembering at times.
It is in those lonely times that Asa forces herself to remember, forces herself to listen to her dark past. The drink is called Water of Remembrance, and witches who drink it remember every single thing they’ve done in vivid detail, and get to feel exactly how they affected others. Just touching the water causes the memories to return, it is a strong magical substance, one that Asa created herself. In those moments where she forgets herself, she drinks the water, as a reminder of the pain that she has caused for all races, human and magickal alike.
~~~
Asa is not afraid to own up to her faults, or the bad things she’s done in past lives. Since being Addilyn, she has changed, for the best that is. She no longer ignores her people, and instead uses her deadly powers to help her people as much as she can, and pushes herself to become better. Not for herself, but for others who need her help. The sickness prevents these things though, as pushing herself so hard does have consequences, and continuing on the route she is going down she may only have twenty years left.
Truthfully, Asa doesn’t quite mind this bleak reality, she has already grown weary of this life and its hardships. Living a life of work and constant movement may be normal for her, but that’s exactly the problem. Asa longs for something new, something different, and, deep down, a life exactly like the one she had as Addilyn. It was in that life, that she found true happiness, and she wishes for that again.
Asa does her best not to focus on all the negatives in this life, and tries to find her peace within her work and family, whom she loves dearly. The family being Taeyang and Reginald, who, although know of her troubles, do not know quite how to help her. Making her truly happy in times such as these is hard, and her family are the few who can bring a real smile to her face. Though the happiness never remains for long, Dawn’s Bliss is always a welcomed break from reality for Asa.
~~~~~
Familiar:
Kit is a relatively independent familiar, and although he defends Asa, he also knows full well that she is more than capable of taking care of herself. Being a familiar means that although he has lived just as long as Asa has, he has double the amount of knowledge she does. Familiars were tasked with guiding their witches down the right path, one that helped them bond with nature and choose to do good instead of evil. Although the concept of good and evil has shifted over time, Kit has not forgotten his duties, and after the last few lives where he knew nothing, he has taken it upon himself to gather as much knowledge as possible.
Even though he doesn’t try to be, Kit is rather mysterious to those who don’t know him, and although he isn’t shy, he tends to be rather elusive. Kit doesn’t enjoy crowded places, and Dawn’s Bliss is quite literally the last place you’d ever find him, plus, he doesn’t even fit in most doors. This is the perfect excuse for him to not be around, and he makes good use of it too.
~~~
Kit has the body of a snow leopard, but is the size of a pony, big enough for Asa to ride if she wants to. He has shorter legs, with a long, fluffy tail that is just as long as his body. A majority of his fur is pitch black, with no color other than random specs of a pale blue. His two back legs have pale blue brindle up to his lower calf, and the tip of his tail is the same blue. If one looks at Asa and Kit, they’ll notice that the blue on his body is the same shade as Asa’s eyes.
Kit’s eyes are an electric blue in color, and his sharp canines stick out of his mouth and are unreasonably long. He is definitely mutated, but he really enjoys being so large and intimidating.
~~~~~
Wand:
Asa found her wand materials within two months of each other, at the young age of 15. Having been exposed to the Mist at a young age had left her prone to the fits of rage humans often had, but her focus on finding her wand kept the anger at bay. The wood type she’d discovered long ago, it is made out of maple wood, a wood whose owner’s often are explorers and restless. It even has the extra meaning of new beginnings, something Asa can very much appreciate. Her crystal is citrine, a calming crystal that also brings luck. Just by touching the stone, Asa can dial it down from a 100 to a 30, and become much more level headed by doing so. The raw stone is on the bottom, and the place where Asa holds the wand is carved with branches and leaves. The wand is very dear to her.
~~~~~
Magic:
The fact that Asa was completely torn from her powers for hundreds of years has led to a disconnect between her and the raw power within her. Since rediscovering her powers, Asa has had to work much harder in each life to reach her full potential, and this life is probably the first one where she’s had full access to the entirety of her power. The problem is that the more magic she uses, the shorter her lifespan gets. Especially considering that a majority of the spells she casts already take a lot out of her even without the underlying fatal sickness the Mist has given her. This sickness has already taken a toll on Asa, though she tries not to let it show. Typically, she would be the last to die, her magic staving off the sickness for many years longer than a level six witch, but her constant use of her abilities to help others has made her condition worse. Meaning that sometimes her magic comes out weaker or more volatile than she means it to, this is even worse when she doesn’t use her wand.
Asa’s magic mostly revolves around the elements, with very high affinities for fire and air, and a pretty decent affinity for earth as well. The element that she can very rarely control is water, with the exception of the weird water like substance that comes from her subconscious mind. It is called The Water of Remembrance, and is a weird thing that can only be created by Asa. Beyond the elements, Asa’s specialties include magical traps, and speaking to the trees. Other plants are a bit more difficult to understand but she can sometimes understand them. Asa’s blood, like Reginald’s, can be used to amplify spells and potions. Though hers is even more powerful than his is.
Due to her very strong affinities in the Natural elements, Asa’s only Unnatural affinity is souls. She can see other people’s auras, and detect bits of their personalities from it. This power mainly revolves around the dead though, and in places where people have been recently killed, Asa can see and speak with the dead. The longer a spirit has been dead, the harder it is to see and understand them, making it a bit more complicated to use this power.
~~~~~
Other:
Since her pleasant life with Jason, Asa has only had 6 lives, and in all those lives she’s worked towards equality in the witch world, and for the low level witches that were always looked down upon. With her help, the low levels joined together and forced the higher levels to resign from their positions, some stepped down automatically, as many could see the unfairness in it all. There were a few that refused to step down, and those who opposed were quickly defeated by Asa herself.
After forcing the high witches to step down, The Council of Twelve was made. They led the witches with a firm hand, and were all level six and under. The Council was more of a democracy than anything else, but the twelve on the council made the least important decisions without addressing the people first, anything big would call for a meeting. Using a spell Asa created, The Council was able to gather votes from thousands of witches in minutes, and it was easy to create a democracy with a spell that could not be altered.
~~~
The Council also created jobs for the witches, giving them something to do instead of lash out at each other. Before the apocalypse, jobs were often giving food to the poor, and educating lost witches on their powers, a problem that happened often as the populations of humans and witches skyrocketed due to them mingling and creating new souls.
The jobs after the apocalypse were not much different, as there were still those who cared for humans (though it is a dangerous job considering humans can go feral at any moment) and those who educate new souls on their powers. But there were new jobs as well, jobs that suited Asa better than being a teacher or feeding the poor.
Asa is a Guardian of the Light and a Seeker. As a Guardian, Asa escorts children (both witch and human alike) to safe spaces, where they can be taught to control themselves and further develop any powers they may possess. It is Asa’s job to keep the children out of The Mist as much as possible and keep them safe from any un-dead witches or feral humans, not to mention the mutated animals. Being a Guardian is hard work, and that’s why only the strongest sign up for it. Taeyang and Reginald both are Guardians, though Taeyang is only sent out if she is specifically asked for, as she is not considered a warrior with her fear of violence and all. Reginald often works with Asa on her missions, and the two make for a deadly team that seem to know exactly what the other person is thinking.
That is not Asa’s only job though, as she is also a Seeker. This means that any un-dead witches or feral humans that are unreachable are hers to deal with. Asa is an amazing tracker, which is a skill that she picked up from her thousands of years of existence. That is what makes her so perfect for the job, and although she doesn’t exactly enjoy it, it is one of the only ways she can help her people.
