Name: Angitia Venefici
Age: 25-29 Occupation: Arcanist/Freelancer Pronouns: She/her Species: Gorgon Height: 175 cm Due to a stiff and resolute manner, a relative sense of stoicism could be ascribed to her but not to the extent that humouring others' ideas is a defunct notion. Despite having a straightforward manner, she does retain a sense of (dry) humor, if not often efforted due to her seriousness through how others tend to perceive her and in partly resultant and accrued austerity. She is not quite a withdrawn figure socially, often taking initiative to attempt things when it appears to be acceptable but neither is she often harsh in her overall demeanor or outlook. While not against challenging or countering someone, this is not a too-often occurrence and not likely by far to be relevant given her own tendency toward respect.

Often wears formal clothing, and occasionally more ornate varieties when occasionally meeting with clients for vocational matters. Overall earns currency for her commissions, which involve arcane directions in order to fix or bolster physical infrastructure and other necessities involved in daily living. Often invokes influence freely for people who cannot pay and otherwise earns a varying amount depending on agreements. She has a sturdy clientele in either sense, which can be exhausting depending on the work day: between walking and employment overall. Along with this constancy, paths through the terrain are otherwise frequent for other reasons; usually hazardous. Rarely, if ever divulges methods for her occupation. The exceptions for that are infrequent, typically involving people who are worked with. Even then however, self-reliance is a frequent direction and potential fault. The reason for this may vary in context. Never goes without her pendant, needing it for a few important reasons. It acts against her innate capabilities, which are as much a hazard as a defense. Hopes to someday be considered a socialite. Doubts this however. Athletic despite not seeming as such; has a considerable amount of endurance from running or sprinting on frequent occasions. Has a schedule most likely, between work and individual interests. Due to the varying commissions she gets concerning spell-craft, much of her time is taken up working. Often spends her nights in-study, going over old works she has managed to obtain, digitally or in print. Often can be found around shops and markets, either browsing or searching for specific items. Most likely keeps a storeroom of the various items she uses for enchantments. These sometimes need replacing, due to physical wear by outside elements. Features venomous qualities to a relative extent. She is immune to her own venom, and likely to some extent other kinds. Could spit at someone and cause them relative harm. This has yet not become necessary. The snakes that make up her hair are often put back when going around public places. Appears as of a normal human to most persons, which is caused through illusionary basis. Her hair appears dyed a moderate green, paralleling actual features. That she can be seen is yet different than most individuals. Not quite vegetarian, despite an overall lean toward related products. She knows how to cook and extract materials as that can be useful for cooking as well as for other practices. Fish and cephalopods are an overall focus in that sense. aside from cuts of meat. The bones from given sources are likely used for work-based practices. Blood dries too fast and she is overall not relevant to that context, being otherwise in focus. Various compounds and items are involved frequently as conduits for her magic and related factors, the results often directed by those materials. Often has tea or other drinks after a day of work but may also indulge for other reasons. This sometimes includes alcohol, mainly limoncello. Lilium occasionally voices concern about overdoing that, being a sort of buffer against hangovers and other adverse factors that would otherwise inhibit work ethic, something also valued. At times omits decisions from their awareness regarding her efforts, not wanting to worry them. Incantations make up a majority of her capability in more magic-oriented ranges, aside from enchanting items. In real-world contexts, this would be a 'carmen' in basis. She may speak phrases out loud or in a quieter manner depending on where she is at a given moment. When not working, minimal effects are her limit. Direct or indirect risks are not overlooked. Speaks eloquently by default. This may be unconscious and prompted by practice and related contexts over the years. Tradition and heritage is highly valued and may correlate. While related matters do not define her individually, she still takes pride in them and tries to honor that basis. Chat with her snakes on occasion when ‘alone’. Though they do not speak by far usually; she does not mind a mostly one-sided discussion. They are green mamba in basis, which can lead to venom-related complications. Can communicate with most ophidian species, and to some extent other reptiles; while that does not always mean there is a decision to listen. That she and others find themselves pressed to work for ambiguous persons and situations is something of a conflict, and at the same time “times change”, keeping up with that a must. Rather than a more modern basis or a more traditional one; cat and other fur produces static and were historically beneficial as a support; she uses the triboelectric effect of amber to create energy to utilize in spellcraft, amplification, and other directions. If stones are augmented through written modification, those potentially could further be used offensively or defensively: it is likely that she has taken that direction. Has cursed others aside from having accomplished worse. Curses are often varied, the wording to a given statement and the meaning behind it coinciding into a factor that can have different potency. She does not often speak in a manner that is meant to inflict harm, but when this is valid, it is completely without doubt or remorse. The same can be said for decisions relating to direct fatalism. Having many eyes watching every direction can be useful, Angitia has likely turned around at a warning by one of her company and invoked a malison, if not having stared down an approaching threat. The latter can be worse, turning to stone irreversible. Has not frequently caused a death in that manner. She can only account for two occurrences in that sense, activity in that regard infrequent. In both occasions, she did not regret the aftermath due to keeping hold of what was important. Views other people in high regard, even if seeming austere for the most part. Distance appears to be an indirect result of her own mentality, something that has solidified to a degree; and not; while on her own essentially. Appears to have acclimated to separation from family over the few years spent since leaving that setting, albeit this is something that cracks on occasion as a precedent. A considerable amount of necessities exist to her work. |

Narrative
Her family line is an older one, and by extent she is expected to uphold that name to some degree. While this does not mean that she is completely defined by or conforms to traditional ideals; to a considerable extent she has followed in her family legacy where work is concerned. With the background and familial emphasis on arcane and other fields, her own upbringing heavily involved study of various magical systems. As a result of this historical tendency toward beneficial outcomes; her reputation is more positive than mixed as far as it seems in her own understanding, despite that effort is necessary on some occasions to dissuade any suspicions that might occur. Since branching out, having moved to a different location once realizing enough of given crafts to hold her own; she has been trying to adapt to the scenery which surrounds her home and simultaneous shop. While relative ambiance was at first intimidating in its connotations and still is to an extent, the few clients who have so far commissioned Angitia have said nothing bad of her work, and she hopes that this does not somehow change. Along with a number of other practitioners, an effort is being made to maintain stability between the individuals stretched out across the terrain, although her time is otherwise occupied with commission work and archival matters. In a more biased perspective, she needed that distance, the demands that were presented familial too exacting. That does not mean she assumes her decisions related to that separation to be entirely right. It was suffocating and yet what she knew for most of her life. Often can be found around shops and markets, either browsing or searching for specific items. Most likely keeps a storeroom of the various items she uses for enchantments. These sometimes need replacing, due to physical wear by outside elements.
Material resources are valued more than currency in that regard and others. Monetary factors are given importance, but their influence holds less ground in closed networks. Money is pooled to support various individuals in that regard, and finances are individually accounted for. Other resources are passed around more than currency between those who do not entirely depend on the latter. Euro and alike denominations are regardless important. Along with Lilium she occasionally further gives things to anonymous parties for funding. It is not always clear what products are used for and they do not ask, not having the capability or grounds for inquiry. Remains aware of most activity, whether by immediate perception or by hearsay. People have gone missing on occasion, although typically not anyone directly known.
She keeps this to mind, reason for remaining cautious necessary in order to not result the same. Although the location is a quieter one, a lack of activity means disappearances are more quickly reported. Safeguarding against that is important, as most of those she tries to defend would not be missed otherwise.
