Description

Photo Credit: The model is a woman named Kate; the photograph is titled "i002 - well", and was taken by ~SlevinAaron, from Deviant Art. If you do not wish for your photograph to be used, kindly send me a message and I will promptly remove it.

A tall imposing woman with dark, tightly curled hair falling around her shoulders, Ayasha has angled features, a fair complexion, and emotive, cool green eyes. She stands at just over seven feet tall, with wide shoulders and a lithe, athletic build. Ayasha's hair is a dark sepia brown. She typically dresses business professional, although when the occasion requires it, will alter the nature of her dress. Because of her height, she is often intimidating, and is a commanding presence whenever she enters a room. In contrast, however, her mannerisms suggest a woman beaten down by her work, and her speech a woman in need of a friend.

Personality

Equipment

A beautifully constructed longsword, a pure golden hilt embedded with jewels, alongside a finely crafted blade, glowing dimly blue. This is the Sword of Truth. It will inform its owner of another's intentions. It glows red when a person lies, green when they speak the truth, yellow when they have hostile intent, and blue when they are friendly. - This Artifact is now in the possession of the Langaran Defense Agency.

A wand made of cypress wood, useful for spells requiring more concentration and power than wand-less spells.

A specially modified Glock .22 which in addition to shooting normal bullets, can also shoot enchanted rounds, such as frozen bullets, flaming bullets, smokebomb bullets, and poisoned bullets.

A miniature spellbook, useful for when a witch or wizard just can't recall that one incantation for the life of them.

History

Born in 1964, Ayasha was raised in an average, middle-class Irish American suburban neighborhood in the Northeast region of the United States of America. She was the only child, or so she claims, in a racially untraceable family - both parents claimed a menagerie of nations for their ancestry, including Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Cheyenne tribe, Norway, and Romania. Up until the time when most Americans enter high school, Ayasha was enrolled in public school, and escaped the adolescent drama of girls and cliques mostly unscathed. She was part of a clique somewhere along the center of the social totem pole, where most of the other girls in her clique were also content with themselves and their social status, and unwilling to either subject themselves to more drama with the more popular cliques, or social ostracization with the less popular cliques.

At the age of thirteen, her magical prowess was discovered by the secret Newton National Academy for the Magically Gifted, and she was enrolled in order to develop her supernatural talents as a young witch. Ayasha was enrolled in an applied enchantment track, where students focused on actual spellcasting, as opposed to potions or theoretical magic. In addition to furthering her education in the magical arts, Newton National also prepared Ayasha for the nonmagical world with the standard courses in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. Her closest friend was Lisa Sheahan, another witch of African-American descent, who hailed from the Midwest breadbasket of America.

Upon graduation, Ayasha insisted on attending a typical university along with non-magically inclined peers, and graduated with a double major in History and Communications from Suffolk University. Ayasha was employed initially by the Department of Magical Affairs as a special investigator, a position that combines the duties of an FBI special agent and a CIA case officer, but in relation to the magical world, before a number of promotions over the years to various other positions within the Department, culminating in her recent appointment as Secretary of Magical Affairs, a Cabinet level position. The only incident on her record was a little-known incident fifteen years ago while she was still a special investigator in the field, resulting in the death of a young girl. She has never married and has no children.

Ayasha is a Patronus - a member of the elusive, highly secretive organization known only as the Guardians, whose mission is to protect twelve artefacts from the evil designs of the Orsa Terminus organization. The Sword of Truth, an artefact entrusted to her protection, was stolen from her during a battle with the rogue android Aiyanna-A. Later, she was taken hostage by Drakus Flavaar, a member of the Orsa of Terminus, and held in a prison in the basement of his sylvan manor. Ayasha was rescued by Whisper (Jacquelyn Rose), and sent for by George of the Aschen LDA to celebrate Aiyanna-A's defeat at the hands of Natalie Schultz, only to find her friend Cameron in the custody of the LDA. Demanding both the Sword and Cameron returned, Ayasha signed an arrest warrant for LDA Agent Marlene Angel for torturing Cameron, and was afterward taken into custody by the Caprica City Police. Deported from Langara, Ayasha returned to Terra.

In the wake of the political changes (OOC - November 2010), the MEA was reorganized into the Magical Eradication Bureau, under the oversight of the Overt Intelligence Agency, and Ayasha was named Director of the new MEB. She has since permanently relocated to Caprica City.
