Kamaria
Known Aliases: White Witch
Rank: TBD
Alignment: Outsiders -- Chaotic Evil
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, appears as an adult.
Personality:
Morally grey, lacking in honor but bound by a code of professionalism. Kamaria sells her skills to any who can afford her.... Which isn't a difficult thing as many of her spells can be bought with food or sparkly trinkets that have no use outside of her spellweaving. As a bloodwitch this shamanistic girl lacks in squeamishness. Her magic calls for blood, and blood means pain. It's a simple fact of her life. She could only use her own blood, but the power in that is limited to her own physical strength. Better to take from others rather than waste her own life's sap.
Kamaria tends towards eccentricities that are tolerated only because of her skills and the fear of her bloodline. She collects rocks, skulls, feathers... Anything that might provide an inkling of power to her rituals is collected and hoarded.
All in all, a rather simple creature of simple needs. Careful not to cross her however; the results might not be deadly for a long time, but they will most certainly be painful.
Backstory:
When the first lion to ever be named king in the Pridelands was crowned tradition had not yet taken hold. He took many mates in the pride, bearing three daughters among them. The mother of the youngest came from a pride that had once been rivals to his own, pairing with him in an alliance between the two prides. They had been a family of some power, influencing the natural world through the shedding of blood.
It was this mother, this unnamed queen, that linked the king's bloodline to the land. In her wisdom the lioness wove a spell into the very marrow of the earth and sky, bidding it to recognize the king as the one true leader of their new kingdom. None could take the throne from him or his family as long as his blood lived on; if any aside from his true heir took the throne the land would wither and die before their paws. The Pridelands prospered through generations... And fact became legend.
The bloodline of shamans lived on within and without the pride, mixing as it had with the royal family on occasion. To a lioness that held the gift a pair of twins were born as different as the sun and moon themselves. When they grew old enough to show the evidence that they too carried on the blood magic their mother rejoiced. She approached Mufasa with a bid for power in her heart, offering her daughters as future queens for his newborn son. Counseled by Rafiki -- who knew that blood magic and madness often shared the same home -- Mufasa denied her. Furious the mother threatened to lay a curse upon him and his family -- a threat that earned her and her family a one-way ticket to the canyons in the Outlands.
Outside the protection of the Pridelands Kamaria and her sister grew in beauty and power, fury in their hearts fed by their mother's lies. They had been meant to marry the king, she claimed. The betrothal had been broken by a king too cowardly to see their powers for what they were; a gift.
The sisters' mother was lost to hyena shortly after Scar took power. Without her the girls -- barely adolescents themselves -- remained wary and at home in the Outlands. It wasn't until they grew to adults themselves that they broached the idea of venturing into the Pridelands again to meet with Scar. Perhaps they could still make a bid to marry the heir... Especially if they could find a way to unravel the legend intertwining the land and the blood of the first king.
How convenient then that Scar came to the Outlands... And to them.
