So, I have a Minecraft Diaries OC I've brought up in a few posts previously. Their name is Caspian, a witch-magi, apprentice of Hyria and (sort of) protector/guide of Vylad for a while.

So here's an info-dump on them.

Caspian is a lanky fella, roughly six (5'11") feet tall, with a masculine body, but a soft, feminine face. They're pale, pale as moonlight, with silverish eyes and coiled white hair to their shoulders. In Daybreak, they wear very light clothing, a sleeveless white vest/halter top and loose black pants, with golden cuffs around their wrists and two amethyst earrings on their right ear. And glasses, as their vision is absolute ass.

They were born in the 500's to a poor family, one with distant magi genes that had been diluted by human partners over generations. Caspian was the first witch born into the family in seven generations, and not knowing how to handle them, their family discarded them to the Sacred Forest. Being only a child, they were spared, found by merchants and taken in by an orphanage in the nearest town.

They grew up alone for a long time, teaching themself to use their innate Magicks for fun and entertainment. They were never shown to any potential adoptive parents, being told time and time again that "no one wants a witch", until one day, someone did.

An elderly woman wearing the holy garbs of The Matron, asking to speak with the children of the orphanage. When Caspian was left out of the group, she re-iterated all of them. This was when they met Hyria. A mage living deep within the Sacred Forest, far from the Golden Roads.

They were terrified of this crooked old woman, believing fully that she was going to kill or eat them, begging not to be sent with her when Hyria chose them. They learned very quickly that Hyria was not, in fact, going to eat them, and instead, they were raised as her apprentice.

Cas took care of housework and gardening, and Hyria taught them far more advanced Magick than what any witch academy would have. She taught them one particular skill they used daily- physical illusions- making themself appear far younger or far older than they actually were.

They eventually helped take care of Irene when she came to Sun's Heart to live the few years she had left with her old friend Hyria, and from Irene, Caspian learned restoration Magick- the advanced healing Magick that Irene's Relics gave her access to. (This is how Hyria restored Vylad's humanity as a fully awakened Shadow Knight)

Caspian was made immortal by Hyria using the remnants of Divine Magick that still lingered in Sun's Heart when they were thirty, forever keeping them that age. With their Magick, they appear outwardly as a small child to Vylad while she's wandering the forest alone, partially restoring the mind, enough to defy the instinctual selfishness of Shadow Knights, before guiding Vy to protect merchants, messengers and travelling bands from bandits and dangers on the Golden Roads for a few years before Hyria finally gives the okay to bring them to Phoenix Drop.

Caspian later shows up to help guide Avi to Hyria's home, then out of the Sacred Forest again, though this time they appear in their 'true form', as an adult. They go behind Hyria's back to give Avira the second Relic of Peace, and winds up being ousted by Hyria for 'betraying her' even though it needed to happen to keep the prophecy on track.

They become a resident of the Phoenix Capital and become a regular performer at the tavern, and part-time nurse.

Yeah, there's my boy-girl.

Extra: -Their birth name was Cassandra, but they changed it to Caspian something like seventy years after becoming immortal -They're a hermaphrodite, assigned female at birth, but filled out to look more masculine below the neck as they grew up, they sound more masculine -Irene taught them the faeries' language, allowing them to understand plants to an extent, though they never became fluent -They actually lowkey hate The Matron, how wide-spread and all-important she became as a religious figure, she was just their goofy great-aunt, a human like so many others, not some all-powerful, serious Goddess like everyone says --they aren't religious because of this, much to Zane's chagrin when they meet (they do meet, my emo lad gets a redemption(eventually)), Caspian just refuses to buy in to the idea that his great-aunt was this all-powerful, amazing and righteous force of good. She was a sneaky little gremlin of an old woman they more often than not had to bribe to stop stealing their equipment and supplies

Caspian was also a chaos gremlin- both Cas and Irene were thorns in Hyria's side for a good few years before Irene kicked it and Cas started adventuring away from Sun's Heart.
