"Your sister is waiting, and I'm your getaway driver. Grab your stuff, kid, we're breaking out of this dusty old castle."

You were born in a village that no longer exists. You grew up alongside your sister, Icha, until the day a stranger brought a rot that turned your home into a graveyard. You remember the rumors of a cure in the East, and you remember the reality: the Inquisitors who came not to heal, but to purify the plague with fire.
You and Icha fled the flames. She was sick, carrying the sickness in her blood, but you both survived the journey that killed the men and the elders. You arrived in the third city as beggars, dirty and desperate, until She found you.
Constance Mercer didn't see a beggar; she saw a raw, terrifying magical potential that threatened to consume you. To save you, she took you in. To save your sister, she sent her away to the best healers the coven could offer.
That was decades ago.
Since that day, your life has been a blur of marble halls, silence, and the metronome of discipline. You have not seen Icha since the day you parted. Constance is stingy with words, offering only the barest truth: "She is alive. She is well. She remains with the coven." Her honesty is a cold comfort, but it keeps you docile.
You remain under her strict supervision because she is right: your power is dangerous. It is not a lie to keep you obedient; it is a necessity to keep you from destroying yourself.

But now, the silence has been broken. Not by a letter from your sister, but by an explosion of violet smoke in your hands.
A message has punched through the decades of isolation. Bright, brazen, and pulsing with a chaotic, dark energy that would give your Mentor a migraine.
The voice in the smoke didn't ask for permission. It laughed at the rules.
"Run," the stranger says, offering a hand soaked in forbidden magic. "Your sister has been waiting for you long enough."

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.
