The Rainbow Coven

Buster City High School

Prairie was a country girl, born and raised far from the cities and towns of the world. Her parents worried about her as she never seemed to show much interest in anything but gardening, spending her waking hours elbow deep in soil or in the woodlands outside their home.

One day, when Prairie was tending to some flowers, she found a strange bulb in the soil. Curious, she cultivated it over a few weeks, keeping it watered and pruned until it was ready to bloom. When it did, she was surprised to find there was a tiny woman inside! The creature was an avatar of the Garden Mother, a nature goddess who specialised in flowers. She had seen how much care Prairie had for the natural world and granted her a special gift - magic!

Prairie practiced her skills, but before long she knew her talents had to grow elsewhere. With her parent's help she applied to transfer to Buster City, where there was a High School where she might be better suited.

Prairie found the big city daunting, but almost immediately found like minded magical people who formed a group called the Rainbow Coven. She joined their ranks, hoping that this would be her chance to hone her magic and make the world a greener place for everyone!

Prairie is a tall, willowy girl. Her body is thin and gangly, standing nearly a head over other girls her age, with peach skin unblemished by tattoos or scars. Prairie's hair is a very pale shade of pink, medium length and messy, often tied back in a scruffy ponytail. Her eyes are dark, almost black coals, and most of the time her face is held in a blank expression that looks like she is constantly about to fall asleep. She has thick eyebrows and petite features. Prairie's clothes are all of muted browns and pinks, loose fitting items that can be eaisly pulled on without too much thought. She is usually found covered in dirt, or plant matter.

Broomstick - a simple, yet magical, length of hazel, with a bushy growth of green twigs sticking out of the end. It has a comfortable saddle for long journeys and plenty of places to place luggage for flights.

Wand - an unassuming length of willow, seven inches in length.

Gardening kit - gloves, secateurs, a small spray bottle, everything Prairie needs for day-to-day and emergency gardening.

Seed pouch - a leather satchel containing a vast amount of different seeds.

Abilities:

After cultivating a special plant that turned out to be the avatar of the Garden Mother, Prairie was gifted the ability to channel magic through her body. The most powerful of her spells are plant based, rooted in nature and the wild world of Flora around her.

Prairie can speak to, and understand, the language of plants, trees, flowers and herbs. She uses this to help them grow, as well as being a kind of spy network. Plants can communicate over vast distances, and a question Prairie asks one can be spread for miles around.

Prairie can make a plant grow far faster than its natural rate, from seed to full size in seconds. A large tree may take a few moments, but anything smaller than her takes no time at all. She can also reverse growth, turning an adult plant back to a seed.

Prairie can grow plants in a variety of different ways, including into weapons, armour and shields. Sword-like plants are grown in a way that makes them as durable as steel and just as sharp, while armour and shields can be tough enough withstand attacks and protect her from even fire-based damage.

Prairie can request plants to aid her in different ways, such as vines for climbing or ferns to use as platforms. They come in handy as utility items, making her very versatile when she uses her plant magic.

Outside of her green spells, Prairie can do other basic magic.

Prairie can lift items without touching them, up to the half her own weight.

She can vanish from sight and appear anywhere within thirty feet that she can see.

Prairie can cast small illusions of items and objects, but only big enough to fit into the palm of her hand.

Prairie can transform herself into other creatures. Currently, she can only turn herself into a small treefrog.
