Corinne Fourier

Arcanist | Freelancer | Human

""

At times displays idiosyncrasies, mostly involving habitual quirks picked up gradually. Can otherwise be considered sociable and cheerful in her overall demeanour. Takes a straightforward manner to her decisions, while she usually remains respectful of others' boundaries. Spontaneity can be an indirect norm; which is a lean that is occasionally bypassed when more deliberation becomes necessary. Usually, she has a quick mind and a related capability to manage well in harsh settings: often attempting to take advantage of downsides and turn them around to an extent. In this regard, relative temerity exists, which is subtle but encompassing as a fact. This can extend to sociability as well on occasion, in terms of making jokes or wordplay.

History

She grew up in a relatively normal sense within her familial groundwork, her life separated into many backdrops of different scenery and situations. Alike to Angitia, her family is a long-standing line, inconspicuous activity aligning with her daily life in order to keep a sort of balance within her own basis, and that of those that she depends on, and that depend on her.


Alongside normal schooling, Corinne's earlier life involved a lot of tutoring and reading on the part of various arcane fields. Much of her hours were spent in that manner up until her late teens, where she was considerably proficient at the practices she had spent years studying. During that time, intermittently, both herself and Angitia became more distant than they had been earlier on, their interests drifting separate; but they still kept tabs on each other just in case an encounter became necessary. While Angitia travelled, as she did, they eventually found the means to settle around the same area as coworkers in some regard, covering the same area in terms of interconnections and activity.


Verona is not a very populated location, nor very often crowded, which has made it easier for various individuals to go about without complication. There are less practitioners than in more active cities, although the moderate air regardless means benefit on the part of interconnections.


She does what she can to keep a degree of safety, making certain that needs are met and problems do not occur as often as they might between the multiple persons existent there.

She is trying her best to manage currently.

Trivia

A warm, if odd individual who frequently cosplays as a witch because she can do so without repercussion – the belief in mythological contexts almost null to those who are unaware. Half of the time dresses in normal wear but otherwise puts her sewing skills to use. More of an outdoor person and her skin tonacity reflects. Stronger than she appears as, although she can be described as slightly overweight, a degree of muscle exists beneath that external apparency. Can easily break a jaw or another bone if trying.

Does not stand as different from a normal human overall.

A hardy element exists to her nondescriptly, as she is often active outside, regarding exercise and other pastimes.

Does not dye her hair, despite keeping it neatly cut typically.

An affinity with magic, built through years of practice, yet allows an awareness of magical effects in general. Aside from being able to see what can be described as ‘fantastical’, more nondescript factors are often picked up on if nearby. This can be described as a ‘shift’ in the air, something changing ambiently as opposed to inert mundanity. This can be good or bad as an element, not everything meant to be benign. Wariness exists to that degree, if realising that something has been planted. This differs if knowing that someone left a message behind previously, which is not always the case.

Considers matters in a straightforward sense, not cutting around corners regarding anything important. Although reserved otherwise socially, overall can be described as having an amiable air. Knows boundaries but tries to respect them while benefiting situational interests.

Despite capability in the physical sense, cannot be considered innately violent, although still sensible about self-defense.

When relevant due to boredom or in an attempt to pass time, writes in pictograms. This occurs more often in public spaces, preferring to not have someone look over her shoulder.

Not easily fazed, although she can be surprised and hesitate depending on an occurrence.

Meanders in terms of thought occasionally, which echoes in sudden changes in direction if viewed as more suitable. This can be good or bad as an element, not everything within apparency as a consequence or outlying factor.

Perhaps because of this, observance is a norm. Often considers what exists beyond herself first rather than thinking introspectively.

Organized, despite her otherwise apparently spontaneous manner. Typically maintains the layout within her apartment space, if just to allow for lack of clutter.

Her line of sight often drifts when going deeper into thought, which is occasionally evident as a factor. Seems to think before doing anything usually, even if only as a passing consideration. Leaves ideograms in places she is certain she might return to on infrequent occasions, or otherwise utilizes them to enforce or restrict certain influences. Removing or ruining the image itself can be necessary to displace or disable that factor.

May have mild intermittent asthma, but would not admit it. Keeps an inhaler on her person, although a bottle of olibanum extract for its anti-inflammatory properties can otherwise be present. Chews on the extract occasionally and lies about it being gum if asked. A walk over to where Angitia and Lilium reside may be occasional to keep from running out.

Studies frequently, viewing the idea of expanding her horizons better than not.

Earlier took up needlework for her interest in cosplay. Likes to cosplay, technically hiding her profession in direct view. If already odd, there is less chance of being suspected of something else.

Appears to have an interest in anime and manga.

Writes in various languages to invoke meaning and structural fact to varying arcane influences. Gaelic, English, Theban, and pictograms are frequently utilised in order to allow for ease in either communication or specific awareness.

Depending on the length of a word-pattern, and the correlative meaning behind it, the factors that result can be extensive, or restricted to a certain pattern or range of influence. In either case, she is scarce with the notes she leaves out, and often expects the person to receive it to take it down, a fact often mentioned in the message itself.

The fact of being rushed or needing to hurry is infrequent, considering the lack of conflict that is typical of the location, but she makes certain where she can to take preemptive measures.

It is not often either that being furtive is necessary, albeit there are occasional occurrences where complications need to be addressed or prevented. Despite the quietness to the surroundings, inactivity is not constant.

Along with Angitia and others occasionally, risks herself to keep worse from happening. The basis for this can vary as a conflict, violence occasionally relevant but at other times not.

Maintains awareness whenever outside or active socially, not being unused to hazards toward herself or others on occasion. Being essentially injured or killed is not within interest. Whether something laid around the scenery is meant for herself or for another individual does not matter to the consequences that can result.

It is infrequent, but individuals have died or vanished occasionally, presumably because of relevant activity. Cleaning up the mess is necessary, often, in the former case.

An outdoor person in interests and relatively social further. Often makes rounds where she can when not commissioned for various purposes. Her clientele is not as extensive as Angitia’s, but it suits her easy-going lifestyle evidently.

At one duration could have been called a constant traveller. Seems to have gone to various regions about Europe and elsewhere on occasion throughout her years. This was prompted both by interest and suggestion by other relatives: being worldly is necessary to better understand the variance in terms of life.

That many individuals are themselves travellers, if not as extensively as often, is further base reasoning for that notion in apparency. In other regions of the world, there are also factors that go unseen, and although not every individual has a social direction, making an effort to learn had, and has merit. That in some sense may be partly why she takes a detached direction, having built the mentality to view fact abstractly. Socially and otherwise, self-interest has as much importance as empathy.

Being more used to where she began however, these journeys were often shorter than others, the expenses monetarily and otherwise that encompassed those attempts demanding. It was apparently worth it in her view, as she was not dampened upon returning; having managed what she could in regard to various interests.

Does not seem to take a worldly aspect at this time, as she has not gone elsewhere for a few years. A more focused direction locally in terms of necessities has replaced that transient angle.

Well known to some extent amid the population that encompasses Verona as a sort of 'underworld', if only to a shallow extent as she tries not to build relationships by far. This detached mentality has different reasonings behind it evidently, although she seems to find it difficult to adhere to that axiom.

Has animated various items over the course of her residence at Verona, including a tea-cup and a loaf of bread evidently, this either accidental or purposeful as a direction. These are well looked after, although at times can be considered wayward locationally.

Her ancestry is older in basis, but more scattered than centred around given localities. She essentially had to prompt others to pass on information in order to better understand fact as it had been prior. This involved a degree of travel, which caused further interest in distance, but not quite yet into her initial years as a practitioner. Eventually, she ended up at a place that was older in context and in exchange for helping around that location, was given the resources she needed in order to continue her studies.

This was mainly literary in basis, and remains partly why her magic is runic and otherwise symbol-oriented than being involved in other methods. Writing has always been an interest despite that, which has evident further basis, the many patterns that can result from lines often a basis for magic historically as well.

Around her twenty-fourth year, she stopped in her education regarding the arcane and began to move back to where she started, if not quite exactly.

Eventually deciding on Verona as a place to set up, this was accomplished in about a year, and her efforts to set up social connections and offer support where she could have been adhered to since.

This mostly involves providing food, water, and repairs along with protective elements where possible. The risks that ambiently exist are not anything that can be dismissed as inconsequential, the chance of further loss constant.

It has not been easy evidently, but has become less of a strain since Angitia arrived, and others soon after evidently followed. Not all that passed through remained, although there are notable arcane practitioners that have made that decision. She does not talk to them very often, but makes attempts on occasion.

This is something necessary at a minimum, if things as they are are to somehow remain stable. Complications are not as bad as they could be, but there are enough that if left unaccounted for, turmoil would result at the least.
