Way of the Nightsisters

Mavella Va'len was born a member of the Nightsisters (or the Va'len Clan) in Madison County, Tennessee. The Nightsisters study and practice the darker schools of magic to aid Heroes across the world when combating demons and other eldritch beings that originate from hellish planes of existence. Generally, most see their contributions as vital to the protection of the world from magic and those who would use it to conquer, however, there are those who would gladly see the Va'len Clan be exiled or even burned at the stake, seeing them just as much a threat to global security. Time and time again the Elders of the Nightsisters have reassured the skeptics that every precaution is taken but it has been noted that these precautions have failed in the past, forcing the Elders to banish those who fall to the temptation of abusing the dark magicks they have learned. These banished witches then go on to either disappear - undoubtedly a victim of their own magic - or go on to become a national liability within the United States.

Mavella was several considered to be part of a new generation of prodigies within the Clan. Her affinity for wielding magic was quickly noticed and nurtured by her teachers. Unfortunately, this nurturing led to her craving for more knowledge. Frustrated and dismayed by her mentors' repeatedly denying her requests to study the more dangerous of texts, Mavella began to secretly study them without permission. She was able to accomplish this until the trials: a series of tests that young Nightsisters perform on their eighteenth birthday to determine whether they are ready to begin studying the more advanced magic.
