Alchemy (Can craft lots of different potions and poisons with countless potential effects. Potions - Stones VS Ability to induce effect, and other uses; Poisons - Stones VS Durability, dealing stones of damage until death or an antidote is provided, or until white stones of 'damage' equal Durability and inflict the intended effect.)- Calling (5 stones to 'mark' an item, up to AN items at once; then 1 stone per item to 'call' it, transporting them to the user's hands from wherever it is.)

CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-2; excessive optimism. Despite everything she's gone through and all the bad things which happened to her, Cinderella remains surprisingly optimistic about life and the world around her. She often misses the clouds for the silver lining, even if the clouds are dark and stormy.)
-Psychological (-1; mild submissiveness. Cindy is typically non-confrontational and submissive when dealing with people and events, even though she is occasionally able to stand up for herself if she truly believes herself to be right.)
-Psychological (-1; mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, manifesting as a cleaning and washing obsession. Highly stressful and anxiety-inducing situations will cause her to go on cleaning sprees as a way to deal with the situation and feel safe, as a side effect of her past with the Tremaine family.)
-Psychological (-2; moderate mirrored-self misidentification. Likely one of the consequences of years of trauma, Cinderella suffers from a fairly creepy delusion; namely, that her reflection not only acts differently than she does, but also that it speaks to her.)
-Total Obedience (-5; due to her exposure to the Eye of Agaroth, Cinderella is pretty much literally unable to disobey a direct order from the Rogue Trader known as Fal-Ys Meigis. She retains the ability to agree or not with such an order, but cannot directly act against it or refuse to act according to it.)
-Loyal (-5; towards Fal-Ys Meigis, and to a lesser extent, her dynasty. Caused by her exposure to the Eye of Aragoth, Cinderella is mystically supportive of Fal, her goals and her interests and would not act against them if she has anything to say about it.)
-Faerie Code (-3; just like full-blooded Fae, Cinderella is bound by the same set of general rules as most of her kind. She will always keep her word once given, and expects the same in return. She will never lie, although she could 'bend' the truth or not tell all of it. Full/true names are extremely precious and should not be given lightly. Debts must always be repaid in full. And like any Fae... she LOVES honey.)
-Minority (-1; pansexual. Due to her nature as an Half-Faerie, and like many of her fellow Fae, gender doesn't count for much when it comes to intimacy as far as she is concerned.)
-Haunted Past (-4; she lost her biological mother when she was very young, and was given away by her loving but poor father to an horribly abusive family, manipulated into thinking they would take loving care of her in his stead. She lived a terrible life as little more than a slave to Lady Tremaine and her vile daughter for years until she was finally saved by her 'fairy godmother', and her would-be love interest billionaire philanthropist Philip "Prince Charming" Thomas. As it seemed like her life was going to get better, her so-called 'Prince' was killed in a violent car accident which once again left her alone, as she was unaware of her father and half-sisters' continued existence.)
-Half-Faerie Blood (-4; gains 3 times her Intelligence AN in max energy, but Intelligence costs three times as much instead of twice. Also, takes 2x damage from ferrous weapon/objects, and attacks involving iron.)
EQUIPMENT
-Currently worn: White buttoned blouse, Pale yellow cardigan sweater, orange necktie, emerald green knee-length skirt, white socks, black flats
-Glass Slippers (Enchanted with 3 stones effect to negate inherent discomfort of glass shoes; Exclusive to Cinderella, Near-Indestructible. Crafted by Cinderella herself using high-quality glass, geokinesis and some enchantments.)

______________________________________________________________
STORY: Eleanor White was born from the loving union of a hard-working, honorable and kind human father, and, unbeknownst to her for much of her life, a potent Court Faerie of the Seelie Court. Said mother's existence initially escaped her knowledge as she passed away when Eleanor was still very young, and her father took her under his wing alongside her half-sisters, both born from a human mother a couple of years earlier, Snow and Belle.
Unfortunately, she would not grow up with them all that much. Their father fell ill, and soon enough medical bills and taking care of his family was going to send them all out in the streets. However, when all seemed lost, a seemingly benevolent, generous wealthy noblewoman known as Lady Tremaine came to them, and offered to take the youngest child as her own, having always hoped to have a daughter. She would care for her and raise her as her own, allowing the rest of her family to manage on their own thanks to a lower financial burden. Not knowing any better and wishing only the best for his family, their father accepted reluctantly, thinking the young blonde would have a better life, and in turn, so would his other two daughters.
As it turned out, it was all a lie. Lady Tremaine was a monster, metaphorically speaking. She did have daughters, just as vile as she was, and the only reason she wanted the child was to use her as little more than a slave and free labor to make life easier for the trio of selfish, cruel women. They treated her basically as a necessary pain in the ass at best, and an unwanted piece of trash at worst, abusing her in about all sorts of ways for years.
Then one day, she overheard Lady Tremaine and her daughters speaking of a fancy social event put together by one handsome, popular and rich philanthropist Philip "Prince Charming" Thomas for the benefit of multiple charities, and how the trio intended to try and attempt to have one of Tremaine's daughters to seduce and marry him for the money, using blackmail if need be. Naturally, 'Cinderella' - as she was nicknamed mockingly by her adoptive sisters given how she often ended up dirty from cleaning everything for them, although the girl kinda liked how it sounded - was not allowed to come along, but she was truly hoping she could go and warn the young man of their scheme.
And that is when her "fairy godmother" manifested before her for the first time. Using mysterious magic Eleanor had never seen nor heard of before, she cleaned her up, provided her with a dress, beautiful, hard to break yet comfortable glass pumps, and a fancy car to drive over to the event. Thanking her fairy godmother over and over again, the young woman drove over to the event and managed to speak with Thomas, warning him, spending the evening with him, but also... causing him to fall in love with the beauteous young woman. However, she was forced to leave the event early, as the magic was beginning to fade away. In a hurry, she lost one of her 'glass slippers' and fled back home, returning to what she thought would be a life of slavery.
Much to her astonishment, however, Philip Thomas' butler came over to Lady Tremaine's home with the recovered glass slipper, and it matching her foot, discovered that she was the mysterious lovely woman his master had fallen in love with. She was taken away from her disgusting "family" to a whole new life. However, a few weeks later, Philip Thomas died in a violent car accident, leaving her alone once again.
It is unclear to any who knew her how she spent the following years, but the truth is, there had never been any 'fairy godmother'; it had been her own power which had awakened in her time of need, her own power which was too untrained, causing it to fail too early in that fateful evening. The fairy godmother had been little more than a trick of her troubled mind after years of abuse, just like how her reflection in mirrors seemed to have a mind of its own.
She 'trained under the fairy godmother' for years - as in, she self-taught herself to use her own Faerie magic and powers as they naturally came to her over time, and grew into a very powerful witch in the next few years. Until...
...one day, the rogue trader of the Howlet Imperium known as Fal-Ys Meigis, ruler of her own vassal state in a deep edge of the known borders of the Empire, came to Cinderella's world, carrying with her an ancient, mystical artifact, a crimson red gem known as the Eye of Aragoth. And as she passed by the Faerie witch's wooden cabin in the forest, she accidentally tripped and lost it there.
Unfortunately for her, Cinderella was the one to find it, and was both unaware of its nature, and the command word to handle it safely... causing her very soul to be bound to the rogue trader and her dynasty forever.
