BLANDIA BLACKBURN
Name
Origin
Blackburn is Old English, meaning "black stream."
Physical characteristics:
Blandia appears in her mid forties and likes to wear elegant clothes. She loves jewelry and enjoys wearing lots of it. She applies her make up a bit thick. To Blandia, she appears beautiful but to her fellow magic user, Guarin, she seems to be trying too hard. She has to wear the dark green hood and cloak with a green and blue robe. These clothes represent her membership in the Agents of Sorcery Protection. She doesn't want to wear them because she feels the style clashes and doesn't go with her shoes or make up.
Personality:
Blandia is selfish at times, obsessed with her looks and attracting men. She is
not beyond using her magic to "win" a guy over. She looked up to the
leader of the Agents of Sorcery Protection, Dagda. She has no problem with his
successor, Guarin except she thinks he takes things to seriously. Blandia seems
a bit flighty and not very levelheaded to others.
History:
Blandia practiced white magic
under the teachings of the immortal warlock Dagda. While not as quick a study
as Guarin, Blandia did learn to take care of herself. Along with Dagda and
Guarin, Blandia created the magical barrier that protected Eliza Pratchet,
Annabelle and Roland Foresight, the small English colonial settlement of Jorgantown
and the Mohegan Indian village.
Over the years Blandia helped her fellow members of the Agents of Sorcery Protection,
North American division. She was placed in Salem, Massachusetts to spy on the
town during their infamous which hunts. Dagda knew it was dangerous and offered
her the chance to not accept but she agreed reluctantly. Others close to her
felt she really did it because she secretly cares for others. Dagda felt that outside
forces in the form of the vampire lord Dracula and his evil witch servant,
Penelope, had a part in the paranoia. He was right but too late to help her.
After Dagda's assassination by Dracula's forces, Penelope framed Blandia and soon
Blandia found herself in the Salem jail. Her best friend, the vampire Eliza,
rescued Blandia from the hangman's noose with the help of vampire children
Annabelle and Roland Foresight. Blandia fought in the first Battle of Jorgantown
after the barrier fell.
Blandia has a history of moving into a community, practicing her spells and potions
and flirting with the local men. This has gotten her in a great deal of trouble
over the years. Guarin helped Blandia take the Right of
Ascendance, which if successfully completed, grants a warlock or witch immortality.
It wasn't easy. After the Right of Ascendance, the witch or warlock is unconscious
in a coma state for fifty years.
