Kenna has been here for a few months but she still didn’t know her way around. Even back when she lived with her family, she was never allowed to leave the grounds so she wasn’t exactly very street smart either. But... this felt wonderful. Being alone and with no guards or family trailing after her was freeing and for the fi`rst time she felt happy. The witch didn’t even notice the other person just 5 feet away, there was no part of her that felt the need to worry about what dangerous people may be around, which was worrying in itself. The movement caught the corner of her eye and she turned, startled. “Sorry, sorry I was just enjoying-” She allowed her eyes to trail over the beautiful view in front of her as the sun began to fade, hands making a general motion towards the pretty city. @corinthbaystarters

The weekend couldn’t have come soon enough, it seemed like the busiest time of year for fires and emergencies were in February for some reason. Maybe it was the leap year but by the end of the week Ara had, had enough of it. Nothing like drowning your weariness in a couple Tom Collins and letting yourself loose on the dance floor. Inside the club it was like dancing on the Northern Lights; beneath the dry-ice smoke swirled an array of blues, acid greens, hot pinks and gold. The music played over the dance floor as if had fused with the bodies, including Ara’s. When the beat dropped in The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights, everyone on the floor went wild, singing along and moving along with the rhythm. Ara found himself dancing melodically beside someone else, their bodies nearly bumping together. Instead of stepping away he danced with them, turning to face them with a wide intoxicated smile as the loudspeakers blasted like a heartbeat deep within the crowd. As the song began to come to an end, Ara took a step closer to leaned in close to their ear, so they would be able to hear him over the music, “Let me buy you a drink!”
Kenna was told to be careful and not to go out due to her lack of knowledge of clubs and bars. She has never even had alcohol before, so this was all very strange. It was loud when she walked into the club, almost tempted to cover her ears but that probably wouldn’t make her look very cool. As she walked further into the crowd, she found herself nearly tripping over her own feet. But the attention of the man beside her caused her to ignore the people bumping into her and instead focus on him. “Y-yeah, okay.” The witch nodded. breaths coming out quickly from the adrenaline pumping through her body.

BIOGRAPHY.
Kenna, meaning born of fire, was born and raised in a powerful coven of witches. She was the daughter of the Coven leader, therefore, the protected princess of the entire group. The little witch was hardly let out of sight of the guards and protectors. Her father constantly kept an eye on her as she was never allowed to venture off on her own. It was a hard, but comfortable life. It shaped her personality into a naive, yet powerful witch. Like her father, she had the power of fire but was told to never use it. He was SO overly protective of her that he assumed she would never have to fight or defend herself, despite her mother’s arguments that he might not always be around to watch over her.
So, Kenna grew up unable to use her magic. Not even in her own time did she practice in secret, too afraid of her father finding out. It was only when she was walking around outside in her familys garden that something flared up inside of her the moment she saw an injured bird who had broken it’s wing. Eyes brimming over with tears as she scooped it up into her gentle hands, she saw a soft light cause her fingertips to glow and in only a few minutes the bird flew off into a nearby tree. The 7 year old girl was shocked and chose to hide what she did from her father. In the comfort of her large room, she began to practice. Eventually her mom found out and hired a fire witch that was specifically trained to heal.
It wasn’t until a group of soldiers came back injured when she was 12 years old that she could no longer keep the secret to herself. She ran up to one with a gash in his arm, and she placed her hands next to the wound despite all of the confused gazes. In front of their eyes, she healed the wound so it was only a soft pink scar. Her father witnessed the atrosity and was beyond angry. He dragged her to her room and locked her in, yelling at her that she was forbidden to use magic and if he found out he’d send her off to live with distant family in France.
So for a while she stopped, growing more and more sad as the days grew on. Her personality took a sharp turn and she never left her room, hardly eating and her physical self matched how she felt on the inside. The sweet bubbly girl was no longer, and that’s when her father slowly started to come around. He allowed the healer witch to return, and was able to take up practice as long as she never used her powers for defensive or offensive purposes.
Then the attack happened. A group of powerful hunters found their home with the purpose of destroying the entire family line. They even had her fire Genasi brother that was cast out of her Coven, and with his help, everything and everyone was destroyed. He only spared her because she always treated him with love, even as he was turning to darkness. With his help, she secretly escaped the other hunters and after a month alone, trying to survive, Anastasia Vidalis found her. The Coven leader took the scared girl in, promising to protect her if she was loyal to the Coven of Delphi. Kenna promised, and once they returned to the Coven, she showed Anastasia what she could do.
After a bit longer of practicing, she officially became the Healer despite seeming so young and inexperienced. But healing was her born right, and what she had been trained on for years. Now, Anastasia believes she should learn how to use her power in ways of protecting her own self but she’s terrified of what she might do because of how her brother turned. She’s scared his darkness runs through her as well, so while she might be able to use her power for only good, she’s terrified of a huge part of who she is. After three months of living with the new Coven, Kenna goes by Kenna Vidalis because she was officially adopted into the family so she was no longer alone. The girl is still fairly new to the area, but she already has a solid group surrounding her and helping her settle in.
PERSONALITY.
+Excitable: Anything and everything makes Kenna excited. If someone brings her back something from a different country as a gift, she protects that gift and fawns over it for weeks.
+Warm: There is hardly anyone that dislikes the young Vidalis because of her kind personality. While it’s rare that fire is used for so much good, good is all she is. Her power has never been used for evil.
+Trusting: Kenna trusts everything she meets almost instantly. It’s one thing that worries Anastasia, so she watches who she talks to.
-Naive: Goes with being too trusting. She’ll believe almost anything anyone says. She gives the benefit of the doubt no matter what or who anything is.
-Terrified: Her own power scares her, witches were the only thing she ever met so sometimes other species scare her but shes always interested in learning more about them once the trust is established,
-Weak: She has no idea how to use her power to protect herself or anything else. All she can do is heal someone or something that’s been injured.
Protector: Someone who feels the need to watch over her, to keep her away from anyone who might try to take advantage of her naivety or hurt her.
Close Friend: I’m sure she’ll have a few of these, but someone who she feels comfortable with. Who she shares her secrets with.
Bad Influence: Someone who knows how protected and guarded she was when she was younger. They’re trying to get her to come out of her shell, to be more adventurous.
Unlikely Friend: You would never expect them to be friends if you knew both of them really well because they’re opposites.
Her Coven is not friendly towards Genasi, but she secret befriended one, or they’re using her to get close to the Coven. But it’s a secret little friendship.
Confidant: Someone who knows everything about her past, who she told because they make her feel comfortable. They know the true extent of all the pain she suffered.
