Daewynn

Daewynn Gardenias,

If only one of my countless wishes is to come true,

Those who seen Daewynn, and experienced all facets of her nature will almost certainly agree that the politician they know is an enigmatic figure. Those who first meet her often label him as the classic gentlewoman, the stereotypical noblewoman who acts with a certain eloquence. Her cheerful and slightly playful demeanor tends to serve as an excellent means to interact with the younger crowds. Indeed, Daewynn usually appears as a cheerful and well-mannered young woman whose kindness and suave attitude makes her easy to get along with.

To those who know her a little bit better Daewynn also shows a deeply ingrained sense of a personal code of honor, the type of woman who is incapable of letting a slight go by unpunished. She's surprisingly mature and understanding, often displaying an aptitude for listening to people, and share in their emotions as if they were her own. But she also seems incredibly loyal to those she calls her friends.

But above all, Daewynn is an actor, and the earlier description is merely one of the countless masks she can put on if needed: The joker, the white knight, the kind elder sibling, the charming stranger and of course there's also the ruthless anti-hero. If there was a way to truly describe Daewynn, then perhaps the following might be the most genuine description of her true nature, at least if she still possesses that:

They say a lion doesn't know fear, and that the heart of a lion beats within Daewynn. Upholding with the descriptions of her heroic nature, Daewynn is a brave and courageous individual. However, this trait, against all expectations was not a natural thing for the woman to possess. Rather, it unfolded during her time alongside her elder brother Gregory, the close camaraderie they held nurturing her growth into the woman she is today. Seeing him as an example in how he never cowered in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds or the fact he never was one to back off from a challenge, Daewynn is the type of woman who upholds the virtue of courage and admires it in others. However, most important is the knowledge that she would consider the lack of it a flaw.

While her past might have unfolded in a way she had not desired, the fact that she has been given a second chance at living in the form of her double life as a politician and a member of the Magi Liberation Movement has given Daewynn a passion for the unknown and challenges. She's the type of woman who is prone to travel to a foreign land, just to see what awaits her there. In the end, if she refused to explore the possibilities her new life has to offer then she would end up getting at a standstill, and everyone knows that in a world like ours moving forwards is necessary if you wish to survive.

Curiously enough her suave attitude is not a disguise; she truly is a confident and pleasant to interact with woman. The type of person you can easily converse with while she displays a relaxed and often delightfully social demeanor. Not only that, but as a woman of her age she knows all too well that the right compliment at the right time can cause a situation to turn into her favor.

Having experienced firsthand what sort of things can happen to a person when they are encouraged and helped one can say that Daewynn is often prone to take on a distant mentor-like attitude toward those she considers weaker than her, especially children. In the end she considers it a mutually beneficial choice, because the weaker individual increased their chance for survival, and she himself obtains a potential ally. However, her method of encouragement might be a bit harsh, for she believes that people nurture the best on barren soil, and that means to improve from enduring hardships.

An aspect of her personality that tends to naturally blend in with her pride, Daewynn is often rather arrogant in the sense that she overestimates herself. She might not think lowly of others; it's just that she thinks really highly about herself. As someone who often stood in the spotlight, only outmatched by her mentor caused Daewynn to manifest this trait. She often considers herself capable of doing more than people imagine she can, and often this manifests in her inability to properly calculate her own capacities when it comes to a battle.

Associated to the fact she failed to save family from the hunters. This personal failure has made Daewynn often become prone to seeing things a lot more negatively than they are when things turn out in a way she didn't expect them to be. However, it's also that regret that turns into pessimism, which serves as an unhealthy stimulant for Daewynn to move forward. In the end, with a regretful past it's not exactly like she has anything to lose by moving forwards.

The type of woman who lives in the here and now Daewynn is often prone to act the moment an opportunity shows itself rather than waiting to see things. While this might conflict with her deceptive nature the fact she’s impulsive also opens a certain sense of training in thinking on the move. Still her impulsiveness was born even before her life as a politician. Watching how her father often often had to act and think quickly or risk botching up his negotiations. However, most often this manifests as a negative trait because it makes her impatient and dislike the idea of waiting when the opportunity is there.

While this only happens to those who challenged her or otherwise tried to oppose her Daewynn tends to allow herself to show a certain mean streak to her at times. Sadistic in terms of enjoying the sight of humiliating her enemies in the attempt to make them know their place upon defeat by her hands Daewynn might not be the type of woman who’d mindlessly kill someone who crossed her path, unless she has a reason, but her fallen enemies can certainly expect not to leave without a fair share of mental or physical humiliation.

While she does not develop a grudge quickly, the moment she does one is pretty much guaranteed it will last until the day one of them dies. In the end Daewynn has seen her fair share of betrayals and wrongdoings, and something about them remaining unsolved only stirs an intense hatred within her. Of course while she might be convinced to drop a grudge the saying ‘She might forgive, but she’d never forget’ applies to her. She might decide to forgive someone in the end, but the grudge for the event will always linger.

The first thing people will likely notice upon meeting Daewynn is without a doubt that she has a certain otherwordly charm to her. With her tall and slender build figure, alongside her well-developed assets she has been known to make a fair amount of heads turn already. However, more evident is likely her exotic dark colored skin that seems to work well with her light blue colored eyes.

On terms of her hair the young woman is known to keep her blond locks in a long ponytail, the accessory that keeps it up being a memento of her late mother. While she usually wears a business suit during her work, she is known to wear a rather seductive and revealing garb during her more 'illegal' or casual activities.

However, there are obviously her unique features, mostly found in the insect-like wings she is able to grow out of her back at will, and that's not speaking of the large retractable tail that seemingly contains a sharp stinger at the end. Indeed, despite being a politician she is certainly an exotic and dangerous beauty to behold. However, who will be the one to discover what lies beneath that tempting smile of hers? Only time will tell...






While Daewynn is known to wear a different attire depending on what type of work she is dealing with, she is usually known to wear a proper business suit during her work as a politician. During casual moments she tends to replace this with more elegant or stylish clothes, dresses not being unheard of, but during her work for the Magi Liberation Front she is famous for wearing a special suit that seemingly has a carapace-like feature cover parts of her body.

Politics are the most cruel battlefield humanity ever created

When one mentions the Von Eisenberg family most would associate them with the wealthy family that owns a fairly large business corporation within Felici, rather than the accursed fool who had abandoned his family’s honor for the sake of something ridiculous like love. Indeed, while Alexander had once been the heir to the Von Eisenberg family, those days were long gone after a certain event had unfolded. It all happened back when he was only twenty years old, an ambitious young man who had been on a journey to Dagos for a business exchange, when his escort got ambushed by a group of vile bandits.

While normally this would have meant the end of the young man’s life, if not for the timely interference of a young woman, the wings on her back and the serpentine tail swaying behind her made it clear she was a Magi. Certainly, at that time the racism was at its highest, but Alexander was a man with manners and against the advice of his fellow passengers he disembarked from the vehicle to thank her properly.

To his surprise the Magi, seemingly called Lothwynn merely smiled as she explained it was a natural thing to help someone in need. It was a surprise really, to find a Magi who was willing to show such kindness and tolerance to humans despite the cruel treatment they received. Indeed, as he talked more to the Magi he was quick to learn that she was one of the few Magi tolerated within a nearby settlement, and as he spoke to the other denizen of this settlement it appeared her kindness and exotic beauty made her quite popular.

In the end as if it was a fairy-tale the man fell in love with his savior, and after a while they ended up getting engaged. This decision was quite despised by Alexander’s family, who denounced him as an idiot who got charmed by a monster, and yet it was this crude attitude that made him realize how flawed their society had become despite all its evolution.

Determined to become a voice that would create a bridge of tolerance and acceptance of Magi, to consider them as equals the man started an intensive campaign in an attempt to reach out to the masses, but often his voice didn’t reach beyond a few people. The racism and superstitious stories about Magi led him to fight a uphill battle, and yet being comforted by his loving wife he somehow kept the strength and motivation to continue every day.

However, it was 40 years before the present day that things took a turn for the worse: The creation of the concentration camps when Magi hatred and intolerance reached its peak. Of course Lothwynn was no exception, and when she was deported to one of the camps Alexander felt disgusted at his fellow humans, and instead opted to join his wife in the camp.

The treatment that his wife received was truly the worst, and the way she kept trying to remain friendly and helpful toward the very people that shunned her was heartbreaking to him. However, even during this dark period there was a little beacon of hope in the form of a blessing they received: The birth of his children. The first one was a son, human like himself and came to be called Gregory, while the second was a daughter that was a Magi like his wife, and in honor of her wife’s traditions they named her Daewynn, after a flower that was known to release a pleasant scent that often helped stimulate one’s humors.

Just like the flower Daewynn was a bubbling little girl, a small sun for the denizen of the concentration camp. Just being around her seemed enough to put a smile on the weary Magi within the camp, and yet Daewynn also was often plagued by her environment, wondering why humans were so hateful of her, and why she wasn’t allowed to explore beyond the camp.

However, when the genocide of the Magi began and the breakouts started happening a group of Magi approached her family and asked to join them in an escape, unwilling to let one of the few humans who accepted Magi as his equals, and a friendly kind-hearted woman like Lothwynn and their children to become the victims of human society’s wickedness.

In the end out of concern for his family Alexander agreed to the invitation, and during the middle of the night when a distraction was caused outside the Magi launched their escape plan. At that time poor Daewynn had only been 17 years old, not even an adult yet as she ran alongside her parents and elder brother, their destination being the safe sanctuary of Haven, surely there they could begin a new peaceful life.

However, during their flight a militia of hunters found them, and then the tragedy began. “Run Lothwynn, and take Dae with you!” Her father shouted firmly as her mother grabbed a hold of her hand, and yet she protested desperately. “Papa! What about you? Aren’t you coming with us?!” However, Gregory stepped beside his father and told her with a smile. “Don’t worry sis, me and dad never lost a fight! Besides… I’d never become a scumbag who abandons his friends when they tried to save him.” The other Magi who had already prepared to defend their escape route seemed touched by the declaration, smiles and nods of agreement coming as they shouted for them to run.

Despite the fact they were starting to near Haven it had not been enough, for they were soon caught up by the hunters, and her worst fear was confirmed when the hunters answered her mother’s question about what happened to the others… The hunters declared that humans who sided with Magi deserved the same treatment the ‘monsters’ did, and a moment later tossed the heads of both Alexander and Gregory onto the grass before them.

This act of violence had enraged her mother, to the point that Daewynn saw her snap into a fury for the first time ever. Violent gusts of wind coursed through the forest as the hunters fought her mother, and while many of them fell in the battle their numbers proved to be superior, and the 14 years old child was forced to watch her mother be slain before her eyes. Was this to be the end of her story? With a mixture of grief and anger coursing through her body the girl raised a hand, a small blast of wind coursing through the field, yet the hunters mocked her lack of power, and it was the last thing they did.

A blur of shadows flashed across the battlefield as one by one the hunters were assassinated by cloaked figures, the leader of those figures kneeling sympathetically before the corpse of her mother while whispering something. When the child hesitatingly spoke to them the man introduced himself as a member of the ‘Magi Liberation Movement’ a group who fought for the sake of creating a peaceful world for Magi to live in, one without the racism and hatred from humans. They had been contacted by Daewynn’s mother who asked to find sanctuary within Haven, and as promised the man made an oath to ensure she would come to no harm.

Five years passed since that tragic event where she lost her family, and after having matured into a charismatic and beautiful woman Daewynn after taking up her mother's family name started to follow a career similar to her father, hoping to create a world where Magi could live in peace, but it would be a world where no hunters exist.

Having joined the Magi Liberation Movement she actively participated in missions targeting Hunters and their operations, but she also started her plan to change the human society from within. Using her connections, training and magic to deal with the dangerous crime rate of the slums within Dagos it was not long before she became a figure spoken about in hushed whispers within the city, and praised in the slums as a peacekeeper of the poor and the downtrodden, and with her popularity locally rising she was given the seat her father had once fought for: Representative of the Southern Slums district. With the promise of ensuring safety and prosperity even for those within the slums her support locally might be strong, but elsewhere the existence of a Magi as a representative has led to a lot of opposition, and even assassination attempts are not unheard of. One can only wonder if she will be able to survive this dangerous game of politics...
