Full Name: Amanda Marie Bennett
Nickname: Amy or Marie, but people hardly use a nickname for her.
Species: Werewitch
Powers:

I love playing with fire:
Amanda has always been fascinated by any spells having to do with fire, which might be why daylight rings are a second nature to her. She's recently learned to create and manipulate fire as she sees fit, something she picked up while working with the vampires on a daily basis, she also has more of a natural immunity to fire since this is her original element. In addition to creating and manipulating the fire, she can generate just heat when need be, without the actual flames, making her able to raise her skin temperature in any given spot to a point where it would burn you.

In the air:
Since giving back all the magic she took from her daughter, Amanda's ability to manipulate air has dwindled. In the proper mood, she can still create and manipulate all forms of wind, but it takes a lot more out of her than it did before. She is still able to draw power from natural disasters as well as manipulate the air pressure and density. In extreme cases she can even siphon the air out of someone's lungs, effectively suffocating them.

Come away to the water:
She cannot create water, but she can shape and manipulate it at will, to use it as blasts or focused bullets or to stop people/objects. Theoretically she can create bubbles that allows for underwater transportation as well as tidal waves, but these things are too exhausting and wasteful that she won't waste her energy on them. Her favorite part of this ability is the ability to water walk. She can turn water to ice and manipulate it in much the same way as she would with water, but this too takes a lot of energy and power and she only uses it to cool down drinks and other cool little tricks like that rather than using it actively.

Face down in the dirt:
With this part of her power she can move, shape and otherwise manipulate most solid objects, specifically things consisting of minerals. With practice she'll be able to use her magic to create intricate objects out of earthen materials. She can form walls and anything she can think of by manipulating the earth. She really hasn't learned to master this part of her magic though as she's barely used any of it.

Personality:
Amanda is a colorful person with a strong will. She's scheming. Seeing how she likes to make new friends, she's usually nice to people, but she can very easily piss people off too. If she swears to do something, she always keeps her word, so it be best to make her swear not to dispel your ring if she's bewitched one for you. A good party-goer, though she tries not to party too hard.

If you ask for her help with something, she loves challenges, and she also loves to try new stuff, as long as she knows enough about it beforehand. She has a strong belief in what she does, and wouldn't let people tell her otherwise, in fact it might be wise not to try: she is vengeful. Although her not so charming witchy side comes out when she's pissed, she's normally a quite delightful girl as long as you don't do bad stuff to her friends or family. Loyal to death to her friends. Doesn't believe in love, simply because she's only had her heart broken when people learned what she is.

Amanda is truthful when needed, and lies when called for. She's learned that sometimes the truth hurts more than it needs to, but she's still trying to be mostly honest about things.

Since collecting her new powers though, this nice and carefree witch has been seen less and less and in her place is a vixen. Every hurtful emotion is drowned out by an act of despicable magic, and her guilt over said act buried deep within her. As long as she stays away from dark magic or people really pissing her off, she can still be quite nice and sweet towards people and try her best to keep them happy. However, all hell breaks loose when she's angered...

History:
Amanda was born into a family of witches. Her father is a psychic and her mother the regular witch with spells and potions. Growing up, she played with her mother in the yard, learning about different plants and properties, learning the very basic stuff before they taught her more about witchcraft. She loves her parents to death, they taught her everything she needed to know to fend for herself in this world.

As she got older, her own psychic sense started manifesting itself, it happened during dinner one night, she'd just been looking at a candle, and next thing she knew, she'd passed out on the floor. Apparently, she'd said some weird, but true stuff in between, but she doesn't remember that, which is why she hates using her senses in trance, because she never remembers anything. She'd do it for a really good friend, if she begged her to.

Aside from learning how to keep the world out, her mother started teaching her spells when she was 15, from the most basic levitation spell, to how to draw energy from the elements around her. For some reason, it proved a lot easier to draw energy from fire than anything else, which is why she's stuck with fire as her element of choice. This was also when she learned how to make daylight rings, ward off vampires and cast protective spells.

A family grimoire was given to her as a sweet sixteen gift, and she has it safely hidden as long as it's not in use. She got her familiar when she turned 18 and is still learning a lot from the grimoire, as well as tracking down new ones. Over the last few years, she's made a few witch friends and they have taught each other, as well as experimented together. If there's one thing she's learned, it's to keep friends close.

After moving to Somber Falls, it didn't take long for her to go into the service of a vampire family. She helped them with whatever they needed a witch for until she had a one night stand with a werewolf named Jack and got knocked up. Her daughter, Kaila, is probably the best thing that ever happened to her, though after absorbing her daughter's magic for safe-keeping, she's become obsessed with power. She'll do anything to get another boost of magic and she'd turned a lot darker than she was before.

Sample post:
The witch had turned into such a wanton creature after giving birth. No, ever since she'd obtained more magic. She was powerful, bloodthirsty and now that the weight had come back off, quite insatiable. There was honestly nothing better than that post-coital glow as she got dressed and made the poor man, (or woman) who'd been misfortunate enough to cross her path, pass out from oxygen shortage.

Yes, she'd quickly learned that though her fire alignment was dangerous and possibly lethal on its own, air and water was a far slower killer. She could literally asphyxiate or drown someone without laying a finger on them. This was the reason for the dead witch at her feet as she picked up the grimoire.

Amanda had been meaning to just buy the book from the witch, and they had even agreed upon a price until she'd come to pick up the book. The blonde with had wanted an entirely different price and Amanda had accepted the final offer. When the naive witch still wouldn't hand over the book, Amanda had followed through with her threat and was slowly asphyxiating the poor woman by siphoning the air out of her lungs.
