CHARACTER INFORMATION Character Information Name: Amanda Sefton (born Jimaine Szardos) Age/DOB: 28/ November 14, 1981 Affiliation: Unaffiliated PB: Emilie de Raven Journal Name: daytripper_ | |||||
HISTORY Jimaine was born in her mother’s trailer behind a circus tent in Bavaria, Germany. For being a sorceress Margali had a horrible sense of timing. Jimaine never knew her father, Margali wouldn’t know who it was if she wanted to learn. She came from a long line of gypsies; she wasn’t born with normal societal expectations. There were times when she thought about who her father was but they were always fleeting. The circus was her family and she always felt accepted and loved. Jimaine grew up a bit of a wild child, when she wasn’t being trained as a sorceress like her mother. She was always running around and bothering anyone who would spare her a moment. Her big blue eyes and blond hair made her a bit of a darling but she certainly had an evil streak. Her two older brothers were often the only ones who could keep her in line. Stefan was her savior, Kurt was her best friend. Although she was raised knowing that Kurt was her foster brother her feelings for him were not always sisterly. He was her idol and everyone knew about it. She would follow him around and admire everything that he could do. She felt plain next to him, ordinary. If anyone ever mocked him for his appearance she was the first to retaliate, either with a physical blow or a use of her power. She had an unusual childhood but a happy one, then things began to change. Her brother left the circus, never finding his niche. She tried to visit him but those were brief and far between. Their life was one of constant movement; there wasn’t time for proper visits. Kurt helped her through that time by just being him. He had become the star of the circus and he deserved it, although there were times she was jealous. She wanted to be unique but it didn’t seem in the cards for her. A few years later the circus was bought out by an American. Her home was sold. It was everything she knew. Her mother decided to stay in Germany, not able to part with her son and her home. She didn’t want to leave Kurt but she was too young to go on her own. It was a hard goodbye and it nearly broke her heart. She knew most people thought it was a child’s crush but she was in love with him, even if he never saw it. Kurt was taken away from her and only a short time later Stefan. When Jimaine first heard of Stefan’s murder she was in denial, when she heard who had done it she broke down. That was the first time she ever teleported. Kurt had killed her brother, the same Kurt that had left her for America. It didn’t make sense. She wouldn’t have believed it expect for the description. Blue. Tail. Kurt. She changed completely in that moment, it was hard not to when her whole world was destroyed. Her mother wasn’t much better. She couldn’t believe it was Kurt but there was no getting around it. Her mother completely fell apart before becoming obsessed with revenge. For years Jimaine lived with her mother’s rage. She couldn’t replace her mother’s first child. She couldn’t wash away the betrayal in her mother’s heart. As the years went on she became more furious, the bitterness eating away at her once cheery disposition. When she was able she left Germany, doing anything to escape the pain. She got a job as a flight attendant in America, later getting her residency. The job kept her moving, it kept people at a distance. People couldn’t be trusted. She changed her name to Amanda Sefton, anglicizing her name. It was simple, ordinary. Anything else was a lie, something not to be trusted. Her fury has hardened, becoming less sharp but never completely leaving her. She has managed to make a few friends but she rarely lets people get to close. Her humor has returned to her a bit but it is far more sarcastic and biting than it once was. Most excuse it as being a difference in cultures, she knows better. | |||||
OTHER ABILITIES: Magic: Her mother was a witch and she followed in those footsteps, her power simply fed in to that practice. Her powers are stronger on the astral plane; on Earth her powers are mostly limited to sensing magical auras and entering the astral plane. Her power can be concentrated into visual illusions, hypnotism or power bolts. She cannot do multiple things at once or for very long. Teleportation: Amanda has only done it twice. She’s not even sure that’s what it was, she’s not sure how else to describe being in one place one moment and somewhere else the next. Both incidents coincided with the worst moments of her life. She ignores it mostly; she doesn’t like to think about those days. WEAKNESSES: Amanda is at the mercy of her emotions. The stronger she feels something the more intense her actions and powers become. She feels with all of her heart, sometimes to her benefit but mostly to her detriment. She does not trust easily and can be too honest at times. She knows how to play games but she is much better at being blunt. Her emotions feed in to her powers and they often leave her exhausted.
