Alphena

Born with a curse that latched on to her, Alphena was weighed down by a growing darkness throughout most of her life, not knowing where it came from or what it truly was. Wanting to research this "abyssal creature" that would not let her go, she delved into Void magic, hoping to find what she was looking for and rid herself of this darkness for good... but inadvertently opened a portal to the Void itself, sucking both her and the creature inside! The abyssal creature may have finally lost it's grasp on her, but she was now floating, lost and unsure where to go or how to get back to her own world. Not knowing how long she'd been in the Void, she was woken from her thoughts by a strange, cat-like being nudging at her, knowing she needed to get back to her own realm. She found comfort in this eldritch cat and its glowing green eyes, and gazing into them, a connection was made, and a strange power filled her. Holding the creature tightly as Void magic flowed around them, a portal suddenly opened and she found herself back in her room, though not alone. A large, witch-like hat with a portal to the Void now sat upon her head, and her new Void familiar, whom she soon named Triton, hovered around her, ready to teach her how to control her newly acquired Void magic.
