Josephine the Beautiful

House Merinita's shining star

This opening post is for my 2022 '30 days of November' content for Ars Magica. I'm getting started a bit early, in part because I'll be on vacation for part of November, and part because I'm impatient.

I will be spending November building and advancing a Maga in 7-year increments, with a goal to be able to drop her right in to a saga as an NPC. I chose 7 year increments because that is the passage of a standard Tribunal, so that is how often a regular saga will expect to see her, unless they particularly fond of Jospehine. (Which they will be fond of her, because she is amazing, and beautiful, and might have some tasks for them.) This decision was solidified at the poll-taken advice of the Forum.

In Brief:

Josephine is a Merinita Maga, kidnapped by faeries as a child and rescued by her Parens. She is cursed by her former captor to be beautiful and beloved by all the mortals. She actually has a magical focus in clothing and attire, and as she ages she'll become less of a one-sided, vain, fairy princess. At least, that's the hope. Though her name is Josephine here, in my Stonehenge saga, she's Jonaquil of Voluntas.
