The Poet and Her Muse

Rank:
Lumina

Original Power:
It is unclear whether Dextra has the ability to predict events through writing or sets those events into motion by writing. Either way, her writing is the focus of her witchcraft. Sinistro, a boggart, can turn invisible or change size at will so as to better disguise himself within any household he haunts. He also mimics the voices he hears, echoing after people to set them on edge.

Power Gained After Joining The Cult:
Dextra gained a fountain pen that never runs dry (which bears her flame) with which she can write her incantations in the air. Once written with this pen, the incantations will fade and come true one way or another. She keeps this pen either behind her ear or in her pocket. Though she can summon this pen at will and only she can use it, she is never without it. This controlled pen allows her to write drafts in pencil and stories that will not come true in premature drafts. Her companion Sinistro gained the ability to shift into whatever anyone of the household fear at will. It not only disguises him like his invisibility once did, but gives him the ability frighten people away from Dextra, himself, and the manor. POST-LOLA After training with the summoner, Dextra learns pyromancy through a bond with lesser elemental Flint. She also gains a familiar, a cardinal named Rufus. Flint and Lola also teach her how to transform herself into a weasel, a defensive tactic that would allow her to escape uncomfortable situations.

Special Physical Attributes:
Dextra isn’t exceptional at fighting, but is strong enough to defend herself. Sinistro has a long claw on his left index finger the length of his hand on its own.

Clothing:
Sinistro wears no clothing in his main form, and Dextra dresses in long shirts and pants. She also wears flannel and sweaters on occasion, and always has on a pair of helvetica glasses and a newsboy hat. She only wears the glasses because lights sometimes give her terrible headaches and they ease some of the brightness.

Physical Description Paragraph:
Being tall and broad shouldered gives Dextra a physical advantage over her human counterparts. She has been known to wear the long hair on top of her head on either side of her face. When she is working, she ties it up or tucks it under her hat. She very rarely doesn’t wear her glasses or hat. A fan of loose and comfortable clothing, she will wear jeans but her shirts are either long and flowing or her torso is covered by oversized sweaters and flannel. She wears her fountain pen with flaming tip behind her ear. Sinistro is a tall, lean creature with anthropomorphic legs, a prehensile tail, and long pointed ears. He tends to stick to the shadows, or go unseen completely. Typically the only parts of him visible are his round, glowing, golden eyes. If he opens his mouth to grin or otherwise express, you will be greeted by his pointed, white teeth. When he tries to get your attention, he taps your back or shoulder with the long claw on his left index finger. Should you ever catch a glimpse of him, he will likely be standing right behind Dextra. He will be hunched over her protectively, with his claw resting on her shoulder or under her neck while his tail wraps around her leg. His flame burns at the end of his tail, and stays rather dim to help him hide. 

Family:
Dextra’s family stayed in London and she doesn’t have as much contact with them anymore. Sinistro does not know anything about his family.

Quirks:
Dextra is ever fascinated by ghost stories and tales of magical beings, and so acts as somewhat of a researcher on other cultists. She also is partial to caffeinated drinks as she does not think sleep is too necessary and wants to stay up writing as long as she can. Sinistro makes a habit of always being close to Dextra, and often hides in spaces close to her.

Goals:
Dextra and Sinistro generally just want to stay together and live pleasantly while trying to work on Dextra’s abilities. She wants to have more control over them. If anyone offends her or upsets her, Sinistro is soon to make those people as uncomfortable as possible whether by making possessions disappear or sitting on their chest at night and smothering them.

Interests:
Both like stories. Both like being around people with magical abilities and learning about and from them.

Habits:
Staying up too late and popping up in strange dark places. Listening to weird music and watching movies with the volume up too loud while binging on caffeinated drinks and junk food. Also laughing too loud with one another and constructing strange stories. Dextra sometimes writes on the walls of their room and Sinistro is prone to making messes when bored.

Vices:
Caffeine. When upset with each other, Dextra stuffs Sinistro’s favorite hiding spaces with things and Sinistro hides Dextra’s writing materials.

What Does Your Room Look Like:
A dorm room bed meant for a desk to fit under, but it was converted into a closed off living space for Sinistro instead. The desk is on the other side of the room. Shelves of books, movies, and journals line the walls, and on the desk is a picture of Dextra with her parents (and if you squint at the shadows you see Sinistro’s eyes). There’s a laptop on the desk and a TV with game systems attached for when Dextra feels like getting Sinistro to play with her.

Personality:
Dextra and Sinistro keep to themselves, happy with one another’s company. Dextra is only a little more outgoing than Sinistro in that she likes to talk to others and hear about their experiences. Sinistro only talks to Dextra, and is hard-pressed to interact with anyone else. She enjoys social gatherings because she gets to watch people, and he often hides on her somehow when she’s out and about. He has a more sour disposition and can get pretty jealous. He isn’t violent, but he is protective. He especially doesn’t like it when people seem to mistreat Dextra. He does however encourage her to practice her magics even though sometimes she is quietly intimidated by her power. She is confident in her writing skills, which got boosted when her powers were restricted to her fountain pen. 

Likes:
Movies, books, games, theatre, nighttime adventures outside, writing, drawing, coffee and tea

Dislikes:
Math and science (though Dextra is surprisingly good at both), well lit places

Preferred Food Source:
anything really, both like to try new things and cook, constantly arguing over whether tea or coffee is better (the stances change everyday)

Group Dynamics:
Dextra is much more take charge than Sinistro. Sinistro is very strong on support and clamors for control with her at times when he worries she can’t handle a task.

Friends:
anyone who is nice to Dextra is a friend to both

Allies:
see friends

Enemies:
anyone who is rude to Dextra is an enemy to both

Rivals:
see enemies
