Piperine

She’s another chemical witch, like the scoville scale sisters and menthol, only much older than all of them. She used to be very active in battles but now behaves like a hermit and very few people know of her location.

Appearance

She's a very tall woman with disproportionate limbs. She has grey skin, a pointy chin, an aquiline nose and pointy ears. Her hair is black, combed back and very long, it reaches her ankles. Her eyes have a combination of brown, orange and green highlights. She has needle-sharp teeth.

Disproportions aside, she looks hourglass shaped.

She usually wears a single earring with three vertical beads and a swirl, along with thick bracelets on her wrists and ankles, so thick they resemble shackles even though they aren't tied. She also has swirl tattoos on her thighs.

Personality

She's a calm, mischievous and cryptic witch. She likes to poke fun at people in a way that it's hard to say if she's playful or sadistic. However, she's generally good willed and tries to do the better thing in her own way.

Her age shows a lot in how she talks. She might come off as condescending at times; regardless of the other person's age, she often speaks to them as if she's giving them a life lesson. This is not on purpose, being a hermit has made her speech a little odd.

She's not very open with her emotions and not comfortable talking about them in general, though she does understand them. In a way, she's more willing to talk about it if it'll benefit someone else, but she brushes herself off very easily.

Powers/Skills

She can control piperine- the active chemical in black pepper. While her chemicals aren't the most painful there are, she's very skilled using them and applying them in weapons or fighting styles. She can control red magic, which is fire and heat oriented. She masters most forms of fire manipulation, and has an affinity with rock manipulation. Both of these things paired together make her very heat-proof and under the right conditions, even able to manipulate or create magma.

She can regenerate as she's immortal, she can also manipulate her own body- shape or bend herself at will, turn into liquid- but she can't change her proportions.

She has battle training and was a very successful warrior witch in her times. She's inactive now and hasn't battled anyone in decades.

Backstory

Will unlock after the story arc >:3

Extra

• She lives in a subterranean cave full of concretions.
• Her motif are swirls and beads.
• She consumes certain recretional drugs to ease the pain of her limbs, but also just for fun.
• Has only hammocks in her house, she's more comfortable lying on them than on furniture.
• Is... Very outdated. Internet exists in their setting but Piperine doesn't get it.
• There are some witches who are similar to her in the way they became hermits, and it's like a stereotype at this point; 'hermit witches will be odd'.
