EYES Deep brown, nearly black. Large and voidlike with a dangerous spark. Accented by sharp brows that paint her into a perpetual sullen glower, even when she's overjoyed.
HAIR White blonde. Shaggy, choppy waves. Grows it as long as she can until she gets sick of it, chops it short, then repeats the cycle. Has experimented with darker shades of blonde, but finds the upkeep too much.
DETAILS 5'4" and hoping to grow taller. Angular face with prominent chin. Very slight, elfin build. Appears frail, like a gust of wind could blow her over, despite her clenched fists and proud posture, and her constant snacking seems to make no difference. One day she'll look more intimidating...
STYLE Intensely feminine. Almost excessive ruffles and lace. Always wearing some kind of jewelry, whether necklaces, bracelets, rings, or anything else. Frilly outfits typically contrasted with heavy boots and ripped tights.
OF NOTE Sunburns ridiculously easily, and tends to carry around a parasol or umbrella as a result. She is not above whacking people with it.

EYES A dark hazel that he calls "frog pond brown." Large with curiosity and concern. Up close, it's clear that his pupils are irregular, more like a cat's vertical slits.
HAIR Black with a subtle iridescent "oil slick" effect in strong light. He prefers it slightly on the longer side, with face-framing feathering he can hide behind when necessary.
DETAILS 5'0" and growing quickly; he can't wait for the look on Meg's face when he's no longer her "little" brother. A bit on the pudgy side when he was younger, but now he's stretching thin like taffy. Round face with a slightly hooked nose.
STYLE Basic tees and jeans for the most part. Doesn't really care about fashion, as long as it's not "cringe." Naux tends to populate his wardrobe with sweater vests and shorts, which he was fine with once, but is beginning to abhor now that he's getting leggier.
OF NOTE Due to his fae parentage, he has the ability to transform into a cat. He uses this to his advantage a lot. Sometimes he changes partway without thinking—like altering his ears only, for better hearing.

✱The
...Story!

CONTENT WARNING PARENTAL DEATH.— Yuna is born to a fisherman father and elementary school teacher mother in the countryside of Izumo. They struggle with money. Kazuki tries to increase their wealth through illicit gambling and "get rich quick" schemes. Sometimes it helps. Most times it doesn't.— With a cigarette perpetually dangling from Adelyn's lips, her cancer diagnosis is unsurprising. She passes before Yuna enters middle school. The loss hits her hard.— When Kazuki is at work, Yuna lingers after school at the home of Uemura Rei, wife to his best friend and fellow fisherman. Yuna quickly warms up to her son, Ikki, one year older. A guitar prodigy, his skills inspire Yuna to pursue stardom as well, cementing their bond. Though she can sing, her true passion is acting.— She ropes her friends into making movies using Kazuki's collection of AV equipment—remnants of a hobby he no longer has time for. Their cinematic experiments, featuring original music by Ikki, are uploaded to video sharing sites.— As the group grows older, their production value increases. Yuna's photoblog charting her progress with the troupe's costumes attracts a lot of buzz online, especially because of her youth.— Yuna becomes aware of the idealistic expectations of her vast, anonymous audience, and struggles to "rewrite her role." Simple, wild, and sometimes even crass, she's not conventional idol material—yet doesn't want to alienate fans with her true nature. She attempts to cultivate a more demure image.— Kazuki takes note of her struggles, and encourages her to explore other options and attend university far from her hometown, rather than throw herself right into the entertainment business after high school. He wants her to experience diversity and flavor of life that Izumo can only provide so much of.— Accepted to a school in the United States, Yuna initially saves on living expenses by staying with Nozomu, Kazuki's brother and a high-ranking businessman with connections Kazuki is wary of. When he encouraged Yuna to explore, he expected something like Tokyo, not another country.— The transition makes Yuna feel lost and lonely. She retreats into herself, devoting free time entirely to managing her online persona: a cute but #relatable cosplay model who sings and acts. With the increased activity, her popularity explodes overnight. Queen of the internet, her next step is to conquer the real world.— Her rise is slow, but steady, as she gains roles as a background actor. By the time she graduates from college, she's acquired a smattering of tiny speaking roles, mostly in daytime television. Her breakthrough occurs when a director takes a chance on her for a side character in an indie horror film. The movie itself isn't particularly remarkable, but Yuna is consistently regarded as one of its standout aspects. It leads to a windfall of attention for her, and additional roles in more prominent projects. Many of them are horror, or at least horror-adjacent, but at this point, Yuna is less concerned with being typecast than she is with keeping the wheeling turning.

the timeline broken down

TAG DEFAULT. THE PRESENT. +24.Though a moderate success, Yuna doesn't yet consider herself a full-time actress. She would need a higher income for that, but perhaps it's hard to be objective when she sends so much of her money back home to help her father. In her downtime, she still devotes herself to documenting her adventures in cosplay and posting an almost constant stream of content on social media.Currently, her official job title is "server" at a retro-themed diner called Calvin's, but steadily, she's gaining renown as the muse and frequent collaborator of an up-and-coming horror filmmaker, cementing her status as a scream queen. Who knew she'd look so good covered in blood?Lately, she's been hearing strange whispers in her apartment and small items are vanishing only to turn up later in peculiar locations. Part of her is worried it could be related to the "research" she's done for some of her roles. She doesn't think she has the right to call herself a witch or occultist, but she's done the reading, and a bit of practice—including multiple attempts at seances.

TAG PAST. CHILDHOOD. UP TO EARLY 20s.Yuna lives a charmed life in Izumo. She has vivid memories of spending all her time at nearby beaches. Unable to afford trendy clothing or games, it's her biggest source of entertainment and third home (her second being Ikki's). Even if no one else is around, the water is will always engulf her and hold her gently in its arms.Losing her mother has had a bigger impact than she shows; despite craving another female figure in her life, she's against her father's dating and reacts to any girlfriends with indignation. He's her Papa.With time split between performing arts, maintaining social media, and hanging out with friends, school isn't the highest priority. As an aspiring actress, she sometimes wonders if a higher education is even necessary. She may be attending college in the US, but her objective was always the film industry, not America's dazzling education system.

HAIR Naturally pure white, due to a quirk of his fae ancestors. Dyed black. Immaculately maintained.
DETAILS 5'7" on a good day; typically appears taller due to shoe lifts. Lithe, lanky limbs, with little muscle tone. Large hands with tapered pianist's fingers.

MIDNIGHT GELATO REASON He was set to meet a client in the alley by the next store over.

✱The
...Story!

— The Engelbrecht extended family is among the most prominent "up and coming" clans in South Africa. Their position is further bolstered by the marriage of Betje Engelbrecht to Edmund Fitzgerald. Given Edmund's status as a capable mage from the well-established Burton-Fitzgerald clan of England, their union serves as his clan's formal recognition of her own.— Basil is the first child born from the alliance. The local circle is buzzing with excitement, awaiting the first sign of his blossoming magical capabilities.— They don't have to wait long. Some forms of magic are accessible to anyone though study, but for others, the power is inborn. By a quirk of distant fae ancestry on his father's side, Basil's hair is pure white. By month six, his baby babbling and cooing is enough to create small explosions and draw light objects toward him.— Basil is raised with the best tutors a scholar could ask for, educating him in multiple schools of magic. After a point, most of his free time is spent in isolation in pursuit of other talents, such as music and literature. It would be a waste of intellect and talent to let him play rugby with the local children. He doesn't exactly miss being around them, because he never knew any better in the first place.— To the despair of his father, he gravitates most naturally to potions. It's a "common" class of magic, one that any person could cultivate an affinity for with enough study. In his eyes, it doesn't put his bloodline to its best use. Basil's mother, however, is delighted. Her heritage is known for their long-lasting charms and hexes. She sees her son's ability as an extension of that.— As they grow older, he becomes exceptionally close with his younger siblings. They're two of the only friends he has.— Edmund and Betje put pressure on Nicola and Pieter, though not to nearly the same degree as they'd done with Basil. Nicola, for her part, takes after her father as a skilled illusionist and clairvoyant. Pieter has a tendency to fly under the radar, unnoticed. Some say he can disappear at will, but it has yet to be proven.— It would be easy for Basil to obtain a respectable job in the magical community on the name of his mother or father alone. For the sake of formalities, he obtains a degree in folklore & mythology from a university of great renown.— Rather than coming back home to enrich his local circle, Basil moves to London and opens a shop. For the first time in his life, he is truly alone, separated not only from his siblings, but from the pressure of a thousand eyes watching his every move since birth.— The move and business plan are supported by his parents, who see it as little more than a passing fancy before he settles down. They treat it as an extension of his studies, an opportunity for real-world experience.

the timeline broken down

TAG DEFAULT. THE PRESENT. +20.Presently, Basil has a small shop in London where he sells magical paraphernalia. To the uninitiated, he would seem to be a young upstart selling all kinds of trinkets and crystals and herbal remedies of questionable assistance. Those in the know can easily identify his Engelbrecht roots, and use his family name as though it were the name of a trusted brand.Now and then he calls himself "Baz" and takes on a persona he perceives as more common in class. During these times, he gathers his wares and hawks them on the street in a far shadier manner. It's the closest he can get to true independence.

TAG PAST. CHILDHOOD. UP TO AGE 20.Beyond his family's esteem in the magical community, the ease with which Basil took to potions made him something of a celebrity from youth. Hailed as a prodigy set to become the greatest mage of the century, he's grown up spoiled, proud, and next-to-friendless. He has a sister, a brother, and a shape-shifting demonic familiar, and that's enough for him.

...Verses!

TAG RUNAWAY. AROUND 12.SUMMARY: His parents are involved in suspicious fields of study that put them on the wrong side of the Magisterium. They're both arrested. He runs away from his caretaker, leaving his siblings behind with the promise that he's going to find help and patch everything back together.His daemon, Tiberius, tends to prefer the form of a Manx cat.

TAG ??? AGE: EARLY 30s+.SUMMARY: Under heavy revision; details subject to change.Basil is part of Sir Reginald Hargreeves' merry band of children from yet another timeline. No, we don't know yet what he does. It's almost definitely something with illusions.

✱Alternate
...Timelines!

( fandomless verses )

TAG HUMAN. AGE VARIES.SUMMARY: No magic here. He's just a young man from a prominent family, raised under extreme pressure from the moment he began to show signs of prodigious intellect at a young age. He's always been told he was better than normal people, and with no real frame of reference, he has no reason not to believe it.
