Chise HatoriYoung Chise hails from Japan, but has strange circumstances

to her past and possibly her future. Hatori is a human woman

at the age of sixteen, but her family story is anything but

pleasant.

A Magical Battery Chise never had a proper home for

herself, being stuck in the foster system and rotated from

different families. While she thinks it was something that she

had done to each family, this was not the case. Chise is what

the magical world is known as a Sleigh Beggy; a creature

who has extraordinary latent magic in her but an extremly

short life span. With both the innate abilities of a mage and

alchemist, Sleigh Beggies are almost uneard of in the

modern day to the point of just being a rumor.

A Willing Slave Due to her past trauma, riddled with

depression, Chise sold herself into the slave trade, seeing as

she saw that her life had nothing left to offer her. Being a

Sleigh Beggy, the price put upon her on the auction block was

a steep amount of English pounds.

However, out of all of the attendees at the auction, the

famous Thorn Mage, Elias Ainsworth himself, came and

purchased the young woman for himself. Later saying that he

purchased her to become his apprentice in the magical arts

but also to one day make her his bride.

Second Shot at Life As the apprentice of the Thorn Mage,

Chise's abilities have increased with Elias' tutilage. Though

she is still very frail, everyone who is apt with the magical arts

says she is extremly powerful, even for a Sleigh Beggy. Even

dragons remark on this fact, and one even asked her to make

a staff from one of his horns.

Elias AinsworthKnown as the Thorn Mage, and to some circles as Pilum

Murialis, Elias Ainsworth is a strange sort of a creature.

Often aloof and not seen out and about, the reclusive mage is

not completly human or fey, though his ties to Sylvan beings

contradicts this slightly. Taking the appearance of a tall

humanoid, his face is that of a wolf skull with curling horns

coming from it. His strange look matches his position as a

mage, which is a rare and dying breed in his world.

A Half-Fleshed Man Not terribly much is known about

Elias' past, except that he is not quite fully fey or human but a

strange place in between. Faeries seem to have a general

dislike of his presence and even his name yet they cannot

deny his strong magical abilities.

Elias lives with others of the fey in his cottage, including a

house spirit named Silver and a Church Grim named Ruth,

who became Chise's familiar.

Robin Betrothed The fey like to call his apprentice and

future wife, Chise, their little robin. He takes no hesitation in

protecting Chise with all of his life. This even happens by

turning into his true monstrous form which he fears Chise

seeing for her own eyes.

RuthChise Hatori's familiar, the creature named "Ruth" was a

confused and conflicted soul. He saw himself as human, even

though he was blind to the fact that he was anything but. No

matter his thoughts, he has found new purpose and remains

as loyal and stalwart as always.

Ever-Faithful Hound Ruth was once named Ulysses, a

name given to him by his owner, Isabelle. He saw the human

woman as a sister to him, even though he was not. This

never-yielding affection for Isabelle made him blind to the fact

that he was a Church Grim, also called a black dog.

When Isabelle passed away, Ulysses could not understand

the concept of death and thought that Isabelle was merely

sleeping deeply. Even days after her passing, he lay at her

graveside, waiting for the moment for her to wake up from

her slumber.
