"Uh, born in a little walled enclave in Washington state called Forks. Walled enclaves are towns with walls and really snug security around them so if you live there you can be pretty sure no vampires and probably no demons are about. My parents were both born there so they got automatic residency, and so do I for the same reason. Public school, my best friend's a girl named Angela, her dad's a priest and I forget what her mom does. I am defying parental forbiddance to be a witch and have done since I was - it was autumn and I don't remember the date so I might have been thirteen but I was at least almost fourteen. My parents thought I'd get addicted or drafted - yes to the first, no so far to the second - and I'm seventeen now. I have the addiction under control and I titrate my casting but it frazzles me if I'm too withdrawn and makes me kind of giddy if I overdo it. My most significant accomplishment so far is summoning and then destroying the Gem of Amara, which is an artifact that vampires can use to become invulnerable."
