Evellyn

Evellyn is my Half-Elf Witch character I'm playing in a table top game. She is very shy, loves to make potions and cast spells and has a magpie as a familiar. Instead of a broom, she travels in a flying handcart which always hovers a few centimetres over the ground. She is being hunted down for murdering her own mother which was set as a trap to flee and/or be captured by the Witch-Leaders. Her story did not start there, when she was young her coven loved her as they would any witchling. On her 16th birthday, it was time to make a connection with her unknown familiar and be accepted into one of the main covens: Raven, Cat, Toad and Snake. After the ritual she and the creature need to make a bond and seal it with blood. Her familiar turned out to be a magpie, which are looked down on by the Witch Covens in her area. They are seen as greedy creatures and outcasts. The Witch who lead the ritual sorted her into the Raven Coven, no one but her mother accepted her. The blood bond was completed in secret in hope of still being able to get accepted. Unfortunately roomers spread like wild fire and by the next day everyone knew of the girl with a familiar as a magpie. All those years she was bullied and pushed away by her fellow witchling classmates and teachers. Even so she didn't give up and became one of the most talented witches and potion makers in her coven. One day, after she came back from gathering herbs, she found her house in flames and her mother trapped inside. She ran in and found her mother laying helpless on the ground covered in burns and smoke. She found a warning note saying, that that this is what they are going to do to her when they find her. She gathered whatever was left and ran out of the house and deep into the forest. There she travelled as far south as she could to the nearest city where she thought she'd be safe. By the time she got there she found wanted posters of her saying that she is wanted dead or alive for 500,000 gold. She met her party members in the next city where she was looking to earn some money and the party members needed a healer and wanted to travel south across the sea to the nearest country to start a new living. She would be safe traveling with adventurers and so they all set off across the country.
In our last session we had just arrived in the last city closest to the south boarder and are now gathering supplies for the long journey across the sea.
