History/Story
History: Like a fairy tale epic, Agnes' story begins in a lonely structure christened Rouge Castle for its red drapery. Her father, a wealthy but pudgy old man, sired her as well as a son some seven years older than Agnes. Her mother, much younger than the father, did not survive the childbirth but left her daughter her own name. With the passing of her mother, Agnes was handed over to a wet a nurse named Priscilla who would act as her nanny for the girl's early childhood. Additionally, this woman represented the closest to a parent figure for both of the children after the death of their mother given that their father concerned himself more with work than family. Agnes' brother Robert defended their father's absence often, though, and suggested he had been much warmer before their mother passed away. Such things were the reality of Agnes' childhood but she enjoyed a very easy life with her father's wealth.
Priscilla rarely permitted Agnes to leave the castle grounds so she had few friends outside her circle of servants with the exception of her brother. She looked up to Robert, though the two were as different as siblings could be. Robert often acted with high-minded dignity one would ordinarily reserve for a formal ball, while Agnes behaved rather poorly with the attitude of a spoiled, haughty little girl. Her own arrogance only grew worse as her body began to develop and, among those who attended her father's formal gatherings, became well-known for her milk-white skin. Robert, on the other hand, only grew nobler and tried to bestow a more honorable model of example for his outrageous sister. Despite these personality differences, the two siblings cherished each other, especially for the comfort they provided each other in the dull and lifeless castle.
As Agnes turned fifteen, her father's ambition led him to use his daughter for a chance to unlock an even more enormous wealth. He took his daughter to a masquerade dance where he used his daughter's beauty to seduce a young, single man whom he knew to possess great riches. The young man, named Ocelot, took up with Agnes very quickly—he especially adored her beautiful silver hair and unblemished skin—and immediately agreed to a betrothal. The young girl was concerned more with the man's looks and money (much like her father in that capacity) than his personality, so it did not take much for her to agree to the arrangement. Ocelot and Agnes' father agreed to postpone the wedding for a lengthy amount of time, perhaps even years, while the two worked out tributes and payment for the festivity. In the meantime, the girl preoccupied herself with sending letters to her loved one for the next two years.
When Agnes was seventeen, a tragic accident befel her brother: Robert fell from his horse on a day of riding and he happened to fall into a crevice in the ground that led to his death. Agnes' father had the body retrieved and the family along with the servants held a burial service for the fallen man. The even shook Agnes' very core and her mood darkened into a depressed one. She withdrew herself from her menial social life and ceased to send letters to Ocelot, and she spent most of her time within her room. Priscilla constantly pleaded with the young woman to cheer up but it often proved to be in vain. Desperate to give Agnes some semblance of happiness again, Priscilla approached the woman in her room two weeks later and suggested that magic could possibly resurrect Robert.
The next two years looked like so—Priscilla assisted Agnes in researching various forms of magic through the help of old books and tomes that they either found in the castle's library or ordered through catalogues and backchannels. Agnes had no experience with magic prior and neither did Priscilla but they worked form the ground up to learn what they could. The hours upon hours of studying had given Agnes something to genuinely lookforward to and better herself over for the first time in her otherwise wasted life. At the end of the two years of study, however, Agnes' father announced that the wedding with Ocelot was to take place soon. The young woman wanted her brother to see her wedding and so she and Priscilla recovered Robert's corpse and tried to put what they'd learn to use on the night before the wedding. The damning results would change her life forever.
The spell Agnes attempted was imperfect and instead of pulling Robert's soul from the dead and placing it back in his body, she pulled his soul into her own body. It resulted in a magnificent explosion that left Priscilla unharmed but melted and blasted almost all of Agnes' flesh. Priscilla retrieved the castle's doctor in the aftermath of the explosion and they managed to stabilize the young woman's body before her wounds became fatal. Her father obviously learned of the incident and had to postpone the wedding and, against protest, Ocelot paid Agnes a visit the following day. He recoiled in disgust when he caught the sight of her and allowed his shallowness to show by telling the father that the wedding was off. In losing both the chance of gaining tremendous wealth and his daughter's beauty, the father screamed at his daughter and said he would never allow her ugliness to be seen again.
After a few weeks in bed, Agnes learned what her father meant: he disallowed her from leaving the castle so that no one might see her and, to prevent even the servants from gazing at her terrible form, he forced her to wear a mask with a long clothing. The mask he'd chosen belonged to one of their ancestors but he did not seem to mind when its metal frame melded with Agnes' still-tender flesh. This new imprisonment behind both the mask and the castle would sum up the next decade-and-a-half. In that time, after getting over the grieft of losing her wedding and her beauty, Agnes resigned herself to simply studying the books throughout the castle. Priscilla helped her gather books and supplies from outside the castle when she needed it but it was rare given that the woman did not want to test anything ever again.
Agne's father finally died in her mid-thirties, with the body having been discovered by Priscilla. With that, Agnes was free to leave. She left her wealth to Priscilla and journeyed to Hargeon Town in search of a wizard's guild that she had heard could help her in a personal matter of redemption.
