✳ Overview ✳
Full Name: Dahlia
Age: 42 (body) / 1066 (real age)
Birthday: January 19, 948
Height/Weight: 5'9" / 119 lbs
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Black
Birthplace: Nottingham, East Midlands of England
Parents: Christoff and Iris
Siblings: Esther (younger sister), Mikael (brother-in-law)
Children: All the firstborns promised to me: Freya (niece) and Hope Mikaelson (great-niece)
Special Abilities: This is a joke, right? I am the most powerful witch in history, with the slight exception of perhaps Qetsiyah and Silas...though we've never tested it. Maybe I am more powerful. I am highly proficient in the Dark Arts, casting fertility spells like it's nothing (for a price, of course), an enchantment on myself and my lovely Freya to keep from aging and gaining in magical prowess as we slumber for a hundred years at a time. This is the best way to immortality, because we can also maintain our magical abilities, unlike every other person in history who's attempted immortality. Not to say anything too awful against my lovely ally Qetsiyah, but...what an amateur spell! And don't even get me started on vampires! I can sense the magic of the firstborn, and this is how I always know when they have come to power and roughly locate where they are, and I can wipe out entire villages with nothing more than the wave of a hand. Needless to say, I have plenty more powers up my sleeve, but...this list has gone on long enough, don't you think?
Heritage: Norwegian/Anglo-Saxon
✳ Personality ✳
Type: ENTJ 8w7
Greatest Strength: I don't care. I don't care about anyone, I only care about what I want, and for that reason, I'll do anything to achieve what I want. It's a wonderful arrangement to have with myself, you really should try it sometime. Actually...don't. No, I'd much prefer if you didn't, that would take away all the fun, and I'd rather if people didn't catch onto my little secret. It just leaves more room for me to keep getting what I want, because the rest of the world is full of people constantly tripping over themselves and one another. My magic, my ruthlessness, cleverness, fearlessness, and utter deviousness all work to my advantage. These are all things I consider strengths, and I never let anyone into my heart, so they can never affect me.
Greatest Weakness: I'm selfish, manipulative, spiteful, jealous, domineering, heartless, you could even call me "wicked". I don't really care what you call me, the important part is that I'm more powerful and so I will get what I want. I've even been labeled a psychopath, but what does such a term even mean, in the grand scheme of things? I don't actually consider any of these things weaknesses, but I had to put something down, didn't I?
Greatest Source of Annoyance: Disobedience, and the foolish notions that get in people's heads of starting a family, or falling in love. However, these can work in my own advantage, as history has proven, and so perhaps it isn't a total waste of a life. Also, that spell of vampirism Esther cast is extremely annoying. It prevented almost every member of her family from ever having any children, and, in effect, me from collecting the firstborn from each of them. When I imagine all the power I could have collected at this point, from each of the seven, it pains me a little. But, fortunately, the foolish girl's earlier infidelity has proven to offer a very convenient twist of fate, now that her hybrid son can procreate, and his daughter after him. Thank you, nature, for all of your ridiculous loopholes.
Most Admirable Trait in Others: Why...obedience, of course. Doesn't that just stand to reason? Prompt obedience. When someone does exactly as they're told, without fighting it, and without questioning me. It's a trait I would like everyone to possess, that way everyone would listen and do exactly as I wish. They would fall in nicely, like the pretty little dolls they are. Also, I do so love it when people are trusting. That gullible ignorance can go such a long way, and do wonders for me.
Habits: Practicing my Dark Arts, becoming more powerful over each passing century, sleeping for that century in order to accumulate my power, reading ancient texts and studying every nature of spells, and always finding a way to get what I want.
Ambitions: To return Freya to me, and Hope along with her, and raise the two to become even more proficient in their magic. To have each of them find love and procreate, thereby continuing the bloodline of firstborns, and to take each firstborn to myself, in this long line, and connect their power to my own so I might draw from every one of them. Through this, I shall create the most powerful coven of witches ever known to mankind, with me as its leader, and thereby placing myself as the most powerful witch this world has ever seen.
Fears: That through some unlikely, absurd twist of fate, I should never achieve my goals and never retrieve Freya. This is highly unlikely, though. Also, by extension, that I shall never make the bloodline I wish, the bloodline owed me by my baby sister, and I will be forced to spend the course of my immortal existence alone.
Secrets: Yes, secretly, I hate the solitude. That is why I wish to keep others around me, and I don't care if it has to be through force. If that's the only way, then that is the way I shall achieve it. I much enjoyed the years Freya and I spent together. However, as with her mother, and with everyone else, she too found love, and sought to leave me for it, sought to run and desert the person who has given her everything. I despise that about her, though I have come to forgive her. I despise Esther as well, for finding love, and not once, but twice. The ridiculousness of it all is astounding! Why a man has never looked at me, I'll never know. Not that I care, of course. It isn't as though I'd welcome their affections even if it was offered — I much prefer my dark magic than the foolish quest of love everyone seems lost in.
Interesting Facts/Quirks: I very much enjoy becoming accustomed to the modern times each time I wake from my slumber, observing the current state of the world, the dress and the style. It's fascinating. This time, the world really has taken a turn for the worse. To think, that I'd wake up to the End Times! If that's really what people are calling this. Personally, I think the world isn't over until we're all dead. I believe there's nothing more powerful than family, and I also love the snow, but I hate the cold. It's a little paradoxical, but it makes sense to me. And finally, I love music boxes. How enchanting are they? They're something both beautiful and innocent, while also possessing a haunting quality. It's a wonderful combination.
