We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!
The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!
A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!

Character Name: Lena de Spell Series: Ducktales (2017) Timeline: post-"The Shadow War!" Canon Resource Links:Lena @ Wiki
Personality: In the words of her best friend Webby, Lena can best be described as "a noble teen ne'er do well that can break into anything - including your heart". She's kind of a punk, kind of a trouble maker, has a lot of secrets... but when it all comes down to it, Lena is a good girl who just wants her freedom, friends, and to keep those friends safe.
When first met, Lena comes off as nothing more than the previously noted troublemaker. She writes distress notes and throws them into the ocean in bottles for fun, convinces Webby to crash a junkyard party (without telling her it's a party for Ma Beagle, one of Scrooge's enemies), and mocks the triplets the moment she meets them. She's very blunt, a bit rude in her interactions with others, and very quickly gets labeled a bad influence by Mrs Beakley. Lena doesn't care, though; she seems to enjoy getting into trouble, and will happily drag Webby into it with her, just to get the other duckling to loosen up a bit.
... Except actually, she kind of does care, and she's more than some little punk on the inside.
To say Lena is "troubled" is an incredible understatement. Living under the thumb of her highly abusive (emotionally and physically), highly evil "aunt" Magica De Spell has left Lena kind of a mess. Lena is terrified of her aunt, to the point where she starts crying when Magica pulls her in close - for what turns out to be a hug, but even then Lena is stiff and unresponsive to such gestures. She tells Webby in one episode that she's "not a hugger", and while the comment is brushed off as part of Lena's tough loner attitude, it's clear that the comment has some level of seriousness to it; Lena's not used to much positive physical contact, having only known Magica's harsh treatment all her life. Unsurprisingly, this has led Lena to have some... complicated views when it comes to family. At first, she just thinks family is just bad news, and not really something she cares about. After all, who would care about family when they have the (literal) shadow of someone like Magica de Spell hanging over them?
But Lena puts up with the abuse, because Magica bribes her with what she wants most in the world: freedom. Lena craves freedom, she does bad things despite hating it purely because she wants to be away from Magica. Even as Magica's power grows, and she's able to control and possess Lena, she still fights, showing that, for all the terrible things she's been put through, Lena is remarkably strong-willed. She may fall in line for a time, but that doesn't usually last long. This attitude also bleeds into a bit of a stubborn streak; she can stark with the best of them, whether it's with the triplets or Mrs Beakley or Magica herself. Much of her aloof teenage attitude may be a bit forced, but this at least is real.
If there's one thing that Lena values as much as - if not more than - her freedom, it's her friendship with Webby. Webby is her best friend, probably her first real friend, and it's thanks to this friendship that Lena was able to break free of her aunt. Spending time with Webby gave Lena a reprieve from the duty forced upon her, it made her see what real family was like, made her see that while family can fight they can still love each other and come together... so great is her care for Webby that Lena dies to protect Webby from Magica. And not even that was enough to keep her down; she continues to live on in Webby's shadow, because their friendship is that strong that not even death can separate her from her best friend.
Despite the strong will, despite the snark and her surprisingly soft center and her desire to do good instead of bad... Lena doesn't really have much self-worth, or even seem to like herself. In one episode, when trapped in her own worst nightmare, Lena imagines Webby (granted, a Webby being controlled by Magica) calling her a coward, a traitor, a monster no better than her aunt. Lena doesn't even argue these accusations - the closer she becomes to the Duck-McDuck clan, the more conflicted she feels, and the more she clearly thinks of herself as someone pretty awful, undeserving of the attention and offer of family given to her.
All in all, Lena takes "troubled youth" to a new level, but it's only really the scars left by Magica holding her in that dark, broody attitude. With enough time and healing, she'll certainly be able to find her place among the other plucky trouble-magnets that bring adventure and danger to Duckburg.

so hey, what's with the weird alien stuff i mean i figured any kind of weird shadow world would be pretty wonky but this is a whole other story with the lack of feathers and beak and the weird feet and all that and it's a lot more colorful than i thought it'd be?? crazy
[She's going to stick to "shadow world" instead of "afterlife", because... mmm. That's not something she's willing to unpack just yet. She's still trying to deal with the fact that Magica sucked her back into her shadow; the whole hit point black with a murder-spell later is something she's just. Going to repress for now.
It's good, it's fine, she's used to trying to repress the horrific stuff that happens to her.]
is waking up in a weird place and then being booted to the curb and told to go on an adventure, like a thing here because it's a pretty weird thing and trust me, i know a lot about weird things
[Action]
[You know the great thing about texting like that?? You can pretend to be totally cool when you're really not actually. As soon as she sends that out, as soon as she can find a nice quiet place behind a nearby building, away from the sun or light or anything that can cast a shadow, Lena collapses against the closest wall, sliding down until she's seated and hands pressed to her mouth.
breathe, breathe, you have to breathe, you're not a shadow anymore--
It's not just the changes that are freaking her out. It's not losing her beak, her feathers, having nothing but the mop of pink-streaked white-blonde hair and pale skin without anything covering it. She... she died, twice over, trying to fight back against her aunt and trying to protect these people who care about her for some reason and who she doesn't deserve. She was gone, she was nothing, so why... how...?
Lena never really thought she'd be out from under Magica's control. It was something she always hoped for, the thing she did countless horrible deeds for... but a part of her knew that she'd never really be free. But now here she is, away from Magica and Duckburg and everything and everyone she's ever known, and she doesn't know what to do.
She'd gotten her wish, in the most unconventional way possible... but it doesn't feel as good as it should.]
