Personality
+Composed, +Wise, +Motherly, -Nosy, -Indignant, -Impulsive
Sassy Nature (+Spe Def, -Speed); Takes plenty of siestas.
Ipswitch is calm and graceful on the surface. She is the picture of womanhood, always keeping her doors open for a cup of tea and a polite conversation, even with the most unscrupulous of people. As she has no children of her own, her care and compassion extends to anyone willing to accept it, and it is always genuine. She will remember a face and knit them a sweater without so much as asking for their size (but she always gets it right!). Her rock solid nerve and boundless affection comes from age - the woman is older than she looks, and she has a lot of wisdom to share.
The trouble tends to be that you probably don’t want to hear it. Long time friends will know that Ipswitch is naturally caring and hospitable, but she also finds herself in plenty of trouble because of her motherly nosiness. There is a part of her that refuses to acknowledge her age, even though it gives her wisdom, it also makes her acutely aware of her ticking clock. Her appearance is important to her, and as a fairy, she can be petty when provoked. It may take upwards of a written, notarized apology before you earn her favor back.
Ipswitch is admittedly afraid that she’s peaked early, and that her clock is about to stop. The fairy, though wise, feels some regret for the choices she made in her youth. Her only hope is that she can learn from these mistakes before her candle goes out.
History
The earliest memories Ipswitch preserves are the smells of iron, copper, and ashes. Mother's long locks of hair wrap around the child like a swaddling cloth. Father stayed behind for reasons the Cleffa would only understand when she was older. In their new home in Ballonlea, Ipswitch and Mother tended to Father’s shrine every day - a morbid but important connection the two shared that kept them together, and made them close.
Witchcraft was a family business. Not wands and magic and impossible things, but practical medicine, wards and protection. Mother was mother’s successor, and so on and so forth. Ipswitch did not want to break that cycle, and she would not let her body be the cause. As members of the fringe of society, Ipswitch’s mother offered unconditional love and support. The young fairy was a very natural, magical prodigy. She waved her wand like a baton, and her move metronome demonstrated a vast range in ability that threatened to surpass even the oldest of her ancestors.
Ipswitch always had mother’s love, but she faced quite a bit of scrutiny for just about everything from everyone else outside her coven. In her youth, Ipswitch was a rough-spun woman. Long, pink, tangled hair, bags under her eyes, she wore a leather jacket over her scruffy witch’s robes. She rode a motorcycle and joined every movement and protest she could once she was old enough to pick up a sign. Ipswitch was even arrested at one of those protests; in fact, you can find the news article cut out and framed on her wall. Indeed, Ipswitch burned brightly for most of her young adult life.
Her rebellious antics lead her down a path and away from Ballonlea, out of mother’s care, and into the arms of a wily trickster. Alas, Ipswitch’s lover and (ex) husband left her abandoned for the road. He claimed her youth (as well as some of her money) and walked out. Betrayed and wounded, Ipswitch felt too ashamed to return home to mother. So, she did what any sensible witch would do in her position: she chased any magic she could find all the way to Raccolto, where she charmed the Cutiefly and began raising bees to make herself some money. A fairy of her grace and poise could conduct her orchestra of insects with ease.
That’s when the age started creeping up. Her 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, they flew by as quickly as her livestock did. She used the time to reflect on herself and refine her image. Gone was the torn up witch’s frock and leather coat (to the attic), and out came the finer dresses, makeup, and ribbons. She took on two young apprentices to help with the hard labor of ranching in her old age. Their time and studies together made them close, and she began regarding the couple as her own family. And it reminded her of something important…The Clefable started to feel a motherly tug at her heartstrings.
She had to go home.
Before settling into Raccolto full time, Ipswitch took a journey back to Ballonlea to make amends. She arrived just in the knick of time. Mother enjoyed her last few weeks reconnecting with her daughter. The two would offer their prayers to Father one last time, before inevitably, Ipswitch would erect one for Mother, right beside him. Ipswitch returned to Raccolto with her inheritance and a letter that she can’t bring herself to open. At least, not yet.
Even in her old age, Ipswitch has always demonstrated resilience. The grief and losses she experienced have only made her ever more determined to chase her flame before her own candle goes out.
Ability: Magic Guard. Ipswitch’s area of study was Abjuration - protection, both of others and herself. Her ability not only keeps her looking youthful, but it also keeps her healthy. Ipswitch only takes damage from attacks.
Moveset:
Metronome. What she would consider her signature move. What crazy “spell” will she whip up for you?
Fire Blast. Reserved for when she’s just about had enough of everyone’s nonsense.
Misty Terrain. Used to soothe her livestock and make her house look fun and mysterious~
Meteor Mash. “I am a healer, But…” and she hits you very hard with her shillelagh.
Job(s)
Ranch Name: The Faeriegrounds
Specialties: Ipswitch got her start with beekeeping and honey production for natural remedies. With the acquisition of a few bugs (and River’s assistance), she’s expanded her expertise to include silk and wool.
Current Stock: Honey, Wool, Silk
Starter Cat: Litten
Name: Old Deuteronomy
Gender: Male
Old Deut is an absolute unit of a cat, even for his age. He is square shaped and possesses the voice of a 200 year old chain smoker. All he wants in life is to be fed and left alone. The only one he regards fondly is his owner, and even then, Old Deut is not a cuddly cat. Still, he has his loyalties, and you won’t find him far from Ipswitch’s side.
Talents:
- Baking. She loves baking pies, it’s a special activity she reserves for her own self care or to grow closer to friends. If she wants to bake with you, it’s a sign she’s very fond of you.
- Naturally good with fairies. It’s because of her totem!
- Experienced botanist and apothecary. This was part of her studies with Mother as a witch.
Funfacts:
- VA Claim: Sandra Oh (Ming Lee - Turning Red )
- Ipswitch’s apprentices are River Pine (Pink Core Minior) and Sage Starwick (Carbink). Both River and Sage assist Ipswitch with any heavy labor that comes with ranching.
- River is focused on clerical studies and helps Ipswitch tend to her sheep and bugs.
- Sage is focused on hexes and helps Ipswitch with foraging.
- Is well aware the word "witch" is in her name - it's not her actual given name. That is only for her and her family to know.

- Used to ride a motorcycle and has her eye out for an alternative since she had to sell hers…
- Has recently started having “premonitions” in her dreams and “visions” of the future. The veracity of these visions is debatable, but they do seem to pay off in strange ways.
- She likes eating bugs; they're rich in nutrients, and she knows how to prepare them so that you wouldn't even know you were munching on an insect.
- Has a tablet that she’s learning to use - she loves it, and you can bet that the display is 200% zoomed in.
- When she was young, Ipswitch would sneak into live orchestras, hiding in the balcony to listen to them play.
