Background:
Background:Juanita Valerio's history dates back to the early 16th century or perhaps even farther, few people know about the eccentric woman's past, but what is certain is that her earliest know memory dates back to the spring of 1538, when a teenage Juanita woke up, naked, on the bank of the Ebro river, in Spain.
Soon after waking up, she began wandering aimlessly though the woods for the rest of the day before collapsing on the steps of a monastery shortly before nightfall. The monks, taking pitty on her, dragged her inside and gave her food, water, and clothing. When inquired who she was and being unable to recall, one of the older monks, a man named Miguel, named her Juana, after a local folk tale.
The monks however, were not ordinary monks, but a reclusive group of hermetic mystics, in hiding from the Inquisition. This meant that not only were they not following the Catholic Church, but that they knew of the Sephiroths and of the existence of multiple gods, demons and angels.
The men, having nowhere to take the girl, decided it would be best to hide her amongst them, ending up training her in hermetic mysticism; over time Miguel becoming like a father to the girl.
As the mystics grew older and closer to their ends, young Juana grew older, wiser, and more skilled, and by 1560, she was as good as any of her teachers. By 1570 all of them had died of old age, leaving Juana alone in the world. Having been taught by the mystics everything they knew about geography, philosophy, politics and mathematics, she set out for Barcelona to see if she could make something with her life.
Over the centuries she came to fight in several Russo-Turkish conflicts, the American Civil war and both World Wars. She became a guardian angel of sorts to the Parker Family, and a member of the Trismegistus Council.
Today she resides in Vibora Bay, being one of the many denizens of Duval Street in Easton, the richest and more high class side of Vibora, being one of the neighborhoods many homosexual residents, unlike most residents of Duval Street however, she is not in the entertainment business, instead owning a lavish souvenir shop which doubles as an apothecary and magical supply shop for the city's mystics.
This shop is built into her mansion and it is manned by PRIMUS agent Autumn@LordWisp and the alien being known as Zol-kacto@krikitt.
Personality:
Personality:Thanks to her advanced age, Juanita is rather hard to shock, having seen and done many things that would horrify or disgust most people over the centuries and having grown jaded because of it. She is not emotionless, but when one has seen as many battlefields filled with blood and excrement covered corpses as she has, one tends to stop flinching when they see someone mutilated in a ditch.
Juanita is adamant and rigid in her views and ways, slow to change and adapt to the world around her advancing as fast as it does.
Due to her long life, she has seen many spunky artists, courageous heroes, struggling students, ambitious entrepreneurs, charming coquettes, bashful bookworms, and just about every other type of person you can imagine passing by; because of this, she has become quite difficult to impress, seeming even cynical at times. She has also learned long ago what she likes or doesn't in a person, leading to her being able to easily form an opinion on someone.
However, she is not unpleasant -unless you annoy or grate her-, in fact, she is quite friendly and a conversationalist; though the subjects of her conversations can become philosophical in nature at times, which tends to push away some people.
Despite being an accomplished heroine, Juanita's motivations remain a mistery.

Equipment:
Equipment:
The Silver SwordAn artifact of unknown origin and Juanita's trademark weapon, this sword is capable of cutting clean through steel plating whilst also enhancing the wielders magical aptitude. The sword consists of a forward-curved, single-edged silver blade measuring in at aprox. 2'6" and a carved ivory hilt shaped like a dragon's snarling head.
Cloak of the ZephirimDespite the name, the 'cloak' is actually a blue, hooded trenchcoat -Juanita's signature attire- enchanted with the effects of the spell known as The Tireless Wings of the Zephirim, the Zephirim being spirits who dwell in a dimension of clouds, winds, and storms.
Wizard's BreastplateIdeally suited for warrior-mages and other spellcasters who tend to get involved in hand to hant Combat, the Wizard’s Breastplate is as strong as the strongest plate armor but weighs no more than ordinary clothing. It also provides additional magical protection against many forms of magical attack as well as mundane weapons and blows to the entirety of the wearer's body.
Amulet of the Clear MindThis amulet, usually made of silver and amber -Juanita's being made using Dominican blue amber-, heightens the wearer’s mental faculties. She becomes more observant, more insightful, and more intelligent. Additionally, the amulet provides protection against Sorcery and similar spells.
Gauntlets of Giant's StrengthCreated using enchantments normally applied to belts and girdles, these gauntlets date back to the Turakian era, although their exact origins still remain a mystery. All that is known is that they enhance the wearer's strength to be on par with that of giants.
Boots of the CricketThis pair of fine, supple leather boots contains two enchantments. The first allows the wearer to leap much further than she ordinarily could; the second allows her to walk along walls and ceilings like an insect.
Arcane Tomes:
Arcane Tomes:Juanita is also in the possession of various magical tomes of both the tame and forbidden kinds.
Blood of the NecronomiconAcquired from the rather simple minded apprentice of a dark mystic, this dangerous book contains powerful research into and spells from the field of necromancy. The apprentice gave the book up without any real encouragement, quite happy to be rid of the accursed book.

Tactics:
Tactics:Juanita is rather versatile, whilst she can't change her spell loadout on a whim, she could easily fill any roll in combat if she has time to prepare beforehand (8 hours before the battle) from front line fighter or field healer to magical artillery or infiltrator; she is also a decent tactician and leader, though she really shouldn't be your first choice of squad leader. When not prepared for a specific scenario, she uses a mix loadout of defensive and offensive spells.
Unlike most modern mystics, Juanita still uses chants, motions, and foci for most of her spells, still following the traditions and rituals she was taught in her early days.
Appearance:
Appearance:Standing in at 6'0 and athletic in build, Juanita appears to be a normal woman in her early 30s with the following exception, her skin is perfectly smooth and devoid of blemishes besides several scars covering certain areas of her body, her hair being thin, fine, and devoid of melanin, and her eyes glowing with a soft blue color.
