Louise_Kotonda

Despite how pretty she is, Louise wasn't born as a woman, she was born as a man. But she, from a early age, questionned herself in some ways she herself couldn't understand when she was so young and clueless... There was just something... "wrong" about her, something she couldn't get into but she felt it was holding her back, she simply wasn't feeling herself, making her down in her moral a lot without even knowing why. The first instances of idols with questonnable gender identity were the Sefirot of the jewish kabbale she red when she was young, where the 10 entities representing divine intermediate were often gendered but often had male and female parts or changed themself based on their relations to other entities, and they are far from the only trace in classic mythologies of gods and divine being playing with their changer. And being the big sister of Thomas_Kotonda, she saw him going through the same questions as he grew up and assuming and embrassing them in a much more direct and straightforward way, she always admired how careless he was with what other thoughs. And it helped her to get her finger on the identity she didn't though of exploring before, and she decided to change and embrace how she was this whole time and changed, her brother being supportive and helping each others through their own process. She changed herself, thanks to a classic treatment that took time along side using magic to refine and perfect every detail of herself... even as far as the posibility of altering her genitals.

Because yes she learn magic starting by herself at a very young age, her brother influenced her into her identity, but she was the one that showed him the pleasure and fun of witchery~ ! She grew up outside a city in the countryside where her and her brother could learn to read and writes the arcanes, in those places, magic is seen as a great spiritual activies to better connect yourself with the rites and gods of the ancient times and something to find inner peace in the strengh it can give. At first it wasn't this deep tho, she simply though of it as cool and she loved the "freedom" she had in the strengh it gave her, like she dreamed of going through the whole world when she was little, but she was just going out in forest and climbing trees, which she was always scolded for. But when she grew up and she went into the academy of a large city, she discovered a whole other world and culture. A world where the self and inner strengh magic gives you, making you as an outcast and individual more independant towards society and where the esoteric brought the "self caring expression above the status quo" and the soul search of this group of outcast even further. Its not a way to see magic that is the most conventionnal, as some of the more classic magic academicians saw those people as "crank that tarnish this art", but it's a sphere that exist which she felt immediatly extremely closed to and with her experience of being a marginalized person in her home town because of who she is, she was welcome in this world.

As stated, those groups were in a lot of link with the underground cultural sphere of her city and its how she went into this, going out using magic to exchange occult knowledge to do spiritual soul search or trance rituals under psychedelics to materialized deeper their internal feelings into true piece of magic/non magic art. While going at raves happening in metro tunnels networks or in the middle of the forest while doing magic duels to test their powers and grow stronger or climbing up cranes or construction site for the thrill of it to express themself on their strengh given by their art. They are both social and cultural outcast that dwells around abandonned building at night to express their art and independance and zt the same time occultist doing rituals of mystical comtemplation to find the origins of magic and the divine.
She noticed how those two cultures (the one from the countryside of her childhood and teens to her later life) and visions weren't so far from each others, as she recognized paterns in the rituals of trance using some form of psychedelics of different forms and dose that both those worlds had and how they wanted to search for their spiritually and deeper closer to the divine knowledges. But one for a ordered goal, and another for a expressive chaotic one.
And those ideas showed themself a lot in her personnal art she tried to create, and the ones she take her inspirations from such as films like The Mad Masters from Jean Rouch and Daisies from Chytilová being some of her favorites. She take a lot of inspiration her and her groups from writings such as The Zohar, Mount Analogue or works from Hildegarde de Bingen, René Guénon or Antonin Artaud. As well as painters like Orsten Groom or musicians like Navicon Torture technologies. And even videos games like Baroque, all deeply affected her, as of course they wouldn't a so called "sub culture" out.
After she'll finish her studies at the acamedy, her plan is to become a full on multi medium artist to live through her expression (she already have a few EPs and very small games under her belt) in which she'll use magic to transcend their nature and aesethetic forms while researching deeper in the mystic science magic is to get closer to its origins.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Those experiences in this field made her grew even more adventurous and curious that she was before, always wanting to discover and learn more, her interest in traveling the world by herself haven't died out. And it made her more empathic too, with the amount of her friend (that she saw like a second family) from this "world" with bad and difficult social situation, she tried to do her best to be there for them.

Her interest in transformation got to her to try shapeshifting, especially since she had a master little brother that could give her private lessons. She's not as good as him, but she always wanted to work to create herself a few animal forms. To turn into them she either need her wand or have prepared a potions beforehand


She though snakes as gracious, magnificent but scary and deadly predators and she was admiring them and wanting her form to be one as well. This form is semi giant and could easily swallow people whole as her head is slightly smaller than an average human adult torso.




-------------------------------------------------------------------

Another form she use a lot when she wanna enjoy a travel or a walk in a forest is her mare form

The Big bad witch : Louise is the typical medieval witch that live in the forest and that scares the passing merchant. So the local king send a solo / band of witch hunters to get rid of the problem.


Apothecary : Louise hold a little potion shop where people come by and she's always happy to get rid of their every problems.


Dungeon Crawling : Louise, alone or with her friends, goes through dungeons to get gold and golry like any good adventurer ! But falling in a trap where a monster much stronger that her await can happen faster she might think

Magic college : I mean there's a lot of cool possibilities that could come from a Magic college like a Bad Bully, Summoning class going wrong, Escapism or Predatory classes, Club activities or a teacher with a very specific view on teaching... Lots of cool stuff

Magical girl : Maybe she made a contract with an entity to gain her magican powers in exchange that now she must go out at night to defend the Nexus against the big monstrous preds !

Princess : Would love to play her as a princess, one that get herself kidnapped by dragons or ones that get to pick her meals among anyone in the kingdom...
