-Invention 2 – Sierra's charm-making skills often require her to make the object what's to be imbued. Though she can't build a better mouse trap, she can definitely make simple gadgets out of iron ingot. Because of her elements of earth, metal and fire, she prefers arcane metalworking, but also uses tanned leather.

Misc.

Willpower: 7 (-2 Freebie points)
Special Abilities:
-Magick User: Following the Mage discipline, Sierra has revolved her life around mastering the arcane. It's in her blood, really. Sierra isn't a very ambitious witch, however; she's taking learning at a much slower pace. She much rather prefers to pass her achievements onto the masses, getting a thrill out of creating complex spells and enchantments in exchange for a warm smile and an honest dollar.
---- Chaos: 3 (Chaos Bonus Lore: Fire)
---- Life: 2
---- Elements: Earth, Metal, Fire
-Scriptor Arcanum: Using orthodox ink, quill and scripture, Sierra can record her spells onto a suitable medium, thereby reducing her need to concentrate during casting. She can also have autonomous spells “on tap,” instead casting them from a scroll. (This is how she “sells” one-time-use spells)
-”Brief Comfort in the Order of Chaos”: One of Sierra's custom spells, combining both Chaos and Life disciplines, she is able to temporarily shut down nervous system pathways lying directly under her palm. The technique uses a burst of energy to override the nervous signals. This is, however, neither a refined nor a fatal technique, and can cause a knock out if used over the head, collapse if used over the heart, or paralysis if used anywhere else. The effect is seconds-long, and is only effective as a defense maneuver or distraction to get the heck out of dodge.
- Charm-making: includes creating charms, fetishes, and amulets. Creating these items requires time, specific incantations, physical energy, Chaos- and, of course, the item to be imbued. A special, transcendent “machine,” the cauldron, is essential to crafting.

Traits: (-1 Freebie point)
-Artifact 2 – See Equipment.
-Eidolon 5 – She's been dabbling intensely in the subject since a very young age.
-Resources 1 – Business was booming.
Equipment:
-Toi-Lynn Trubeau's Charmed Aeronautic Sweeper, Patent Pending: A flying broomstick. If she's not riding it, it's slung over her back. The broom can hit sixty miles per hour and reach thirty feet in the air. (1 Artifact slot)
-Toi-Lynn Trubeau's Liquid Spell, Patent Pending: A permanent marker loaded with the magick ink used for Scriptor Arcanum. The ink can hold on most surfaces, and the pen is double ended, having both broad and fine nibs. Good for five spells. (1 Artifact slot)
-Pointed Witches' Cap, orange: This cap has a few pockets on the inside.
-- Currently, the contents are: 1 Liquid Spell marker, some folded sheets of blank paper, $300 in six $50 bills, a government-issued ID.
Personal Appearance: It is usually hard for others to tell that Sierra is a true-breed; Usually, she's mistaken for a pretty mutt, often a fox-dog hybrid, and with her red fur, round snout, petite ears, short tail and dainty feet, she's not one to defend said allegations unless they matter.
Though her usual attire consists exclusively of sun dresses, she dons more practical clothes once enlisted: a knit, orange sweater with a large hood. The piece falls to mid thigh and the sleeves cover her hands (God forbid she need to use those). She also wears white shorts, and no shoes to speak of.
Her hat is very noticeable, the same color as her sweater. Its point curves backward and its brim droops much like that of a sun hat. Sierra wears no armor to speak of, mostly because she doesn't have any.

Finishing Touches

Freebie Points Originally: 15 (+7 from Flaws)
Freebie Points Remaining: 0

Merits:
-Concentration (+1 Merit)
-Magick Natural (+5 Merit) – Life Discipline
-Fast Learner (+3 Merit)

Flaws:
-Lifesaver (-3 Flaw) – Sierra's family has, for generations, sworn by these same ideals, only using magick to protect. Sierra is not a maverick.
-Asthma? (-1 Flaw) – Not really asthma. More so a heart condition or fatigue syndrome. Walking long distances is fine, as are daily chores and the like; however, activities that stress the heart are generally off-limits: running, climbing, walking uphill, swimming, exercise, etc. Sierra acquired the problem at a young age. The general procession of symptoms include shortness of breath (dyspnea Grade 2), dizziness, and fainting
-Lame? (-3 Flaw) – Goes hand-in-hand with the other physical flaw. Overexertion will lead to Sierra's joints becoming painful, leading to excessive limping.

Background:
The Trubeau family has long been known as a family of magick and miracles, able to trace its ancestry centuries into the past. Their blood is even more special, as only females in the direct line had the innate, increased ability to manipulate the world's energies. Toilynn was no outlier, and her studies began at an early age, as they had for her mother, aunts, and grandmothers prior.

The only difference was in her frailty. By her sixth birthday, running, jumping and dancing had become things of the past as short breaths, faints, and rest stops pervaded her life. Modern medicine diagnosed her with a cyanotic heart condition. The Trubeaus treated her with Life Magick. Their best efforts only worked for a few days at a time, and Toilynn grew more tired of her family's healing attempts than she was of her problem in the first place. Eventually, the treatment stopped altogether.

But life remained very simple. SIerra studied Magick, helped run the Trubeau magic shop, and enjoyed the rest of her childhood with friends and family alike. It was in this environment that the young dhole grew into a charming adolescent. At fifteen, her mother left her the Magick shop, leaving to open another branch, as was family tradition. Both witch and store prospered. It was also around this time that she and a close, childhood friend managed to admit their growing feelings for each other. Dakoter, a gray wolf with a passion for the battlefield, began to hang around his puppy-love interest, even helping out around the magic shop. He was two years older, however, and only a year later, the wolf disappeared to GUN's training corps.

With family spread across the globe, and lovers holed up in boot camp barracks, Sierra, too, decided to hit the road- if only for brief intervals of time. She took business with her, selling goods far from home, wherever the rest of her family had yet to branch to. This went on for three years, her relationship with Dakoter continuing to grow whenever they were both at home. However, her worldly travels revealed the darker, Robotnik-tainted side of Mobius- one she hadn't fully realized in the security of the United Federation. The same urge to make a difference that drove Dakoter also grew in the dhole, and with her own lover deployed and contributing to the cause, Sierra found herself walking a familiar road to New Mobotropolis.

The city was known for its metallic emptiness, tied more closely to the Discipline of Matter than the Discipline of Life, but you may notice that there is more life reflected in the plant life than normal. This may be due to the ongoing project to supplant the nature simulation with real flora.
