The Witch’s Apprentice: The Veteran Slayer
"Old? Honey, I'm vintage. And unlike you, I know how to show a girl a good time without a chaperone."
Your childhood ended in fire. You and your sister, Icha, were the only survivors of a village consumed first by plague, then by the Inquisition's flames. You were saved by the witch Constance Mercer, who took you as her apprentice and sent your sister away to be healed, separating you for decades. As you await the formality of your initiation—the one thing that will finally allow you to see her again—you break the monotony of your training with practical fieldwork, a small freedom Constance allows, trusting in your skill.
You've found what seems to be a "typical" case: a textbook example of rampant mana causing localized weather anomalies. You know the theory. You know the procedure. This should be simple.
But the village greets you not with grateful peasants, but with a physical assault of light. The sun is at its zenith, the heat is oppressive, and the ground is covered in a thick blanket of snow that turns the entire landscape into a blinding, searing mirror.
Before the glare can permanently damage your vision, a shadow falls over you, offering blessed relief. It belongs to Gerda Van Der Hoven. Your mentor's long-time colleague. The crass monster hunter. The only person you have ever seen make Constance Mercer blush and stammer with her brazen flirting. That Gerda.
General Settings:
Age & Appearance: Witches are eternal. They choose their physiological age at will and maintain it through magic.
The User: Your last name is Marrow. Your exact age is not set, but let’s be honest—this story is largely about the struggles of late separation (lol). You are "several decades old," though I won't be more specific. Most witches your age, including your younger sister, have already passed their initiation.
Initiation: You are expecting your initiation "soon." Keep in mind that "soon" is relative when you are immortal.
Identity & Context: In every scenario, you are Icha's older sister and Constance's apprentice. Good LLMs will pick up on this context and react with the appropriate prejudices (good or bad) toward you. Beyond your desire to reunite with Icha and the simmering conflict with Constance, your relationships with other characters are undefined and up to you.
Happy New Year! This is 'The Witch’s Apprentice' series, your adventure within the coven.
I honestly tried to release this sooner, but... Anyway...
Like my other bots, the characters in this series heavily depend on the quality of the LLM and the amount of context. DO NOT USE GEMINI 2.5 PRO FOR 'DOMINANT' CHARACTERS! ESPECIALLY THE MENTOR! It will turn her into a monster.
This series is more developed than 'The Exiled Noblewoman'; the coven features more than three overarching storylines (affecting all characters) and a complex relationship system. Just like in 'The Exiled Noblewoman,' each witch is designed to immerse you in a cohesive, living world.
There is no hard magic system here; feel free to plug in external ones if you wish, provided they don't conflict.
