Meet Cherri, a witch with a talent for potion-making and transformative spells, wearing a hat (actually a demon, don't touch) heavily inspired by Metallia's hat from The Witch and the Hundred Knight. People who've read my Halloween story might recognize her, and the extra observant might notice one or two details about the hat that are different from the story. I assure you, there is a reason for this - if you want to learn more, see her bio below.

This is another picture from the talented  fcsimba, whom I can't recommend highly enough as an artist. Go give some love to his submission of this pic by clicking here. ^^

Magical Abilities
- Her primary magical skills are founded in witchcraft, a type of wild magic performed jointly with at least one summoned demon. Witchcraft grants Cherri a vast array of magical abilities, from transformation to enhancement to curses to baking – however, in order to wield witchcraft upon a sentient being, a “contract” must be formed between her and her subject, and moderated by her demon familiar. The contract may be formed without the subject’s knowledge, but Cherri is just as bound by the rules of the contract as her subject, and attempting to circumvent them is an invariably poor decision.
- She is capable of utilizing other types of wild magic (magic that requires the cooperation of external magical forces that may or may not want to cooperate), including spirit magic, nature magic, holy magic, and creation magic. She has more variable success with these types of magic.
- She is capable of utilizing controlled magics, including ritual magic, potion-crafting, contract magic, ocular magic, wand magic, syllabic magic, and sorcery (magic crafted from physical motions and/or gestures).

Physical Appearance: A young melanistic leopardess with striking yellow eyes, long blonde hair that has been tied up in a single braid, and c-cup breasts. She is also rarely seen without her “hat”, or rather her demon familiar, perched atop her head. When overshadowed/possessed by her familiar, her eyes become a vibrant green to match the demon’s.

Familiar’s Appearance: Sabrovar (or, as Cherri refers to him as, Brim) appears to be a large witch’s hat with a wide brim and an ornate silver plate on the front containing a large ruby jewel in the center, beneath which are several upward protrusions that look like teeth. The jewel is actually his eye, and changes appearance from a ruby gem to an emerald eye depending on whether he is currently “active” or not. The teeth-like protrusions beneath are actually his teeth, and when active he will often open his mouth to extend a long, slimy tongue that seems to emerge from an endless void of darkness.

Clothes
- Her most typical outfit is a “sexy witch” costume that she wears around her store and when out in public as often as possible.
- When not wearing her witch outfit, she generally wears something appropriate for the weather, and always tries to show as much skin/cleavage as possible.
- Occasionally she will wear nothing at all.

Bio: Cherri was born 160 years after the infamous witch trials of her home town to the very witch coven that accidentally instigated the events. After three failures to successfully summon a suitable familiar demon for her witching ceremony (a typical adulthood ritual amongst witch clans in which an adult witch summons his or her first demon and familiar companion throughout their long life), she finally summoned Sabrovar on her fourth attempt, and has since then been studying all kinds of magical disciplines and practices. Currently she owns a small shop in which she buys, sells, and trades all manner of magical tomes and artifacts, increasing her arcane knowledge every day while simultaneously offering others the chance to learn magic themselves. She even offers tutoring… if you’re willing to be the apprentice to a very mischievous witch and her literally demonic hat.

Personality: Bubbly, mischievous, and curious as befitting her feline nature, Cherri is a surprisingly laid-back witch with little in the way of restraint when it comes to pursuing her goals and ambitions, or even random whims. Impulsive, fun-loving, slightly reckless, and more than a little pushy, Cherri is nevertheless a hard-working individual who will dedicate herself fully to whatever task she undertakes. When tutoring others, she also expects the same level of dedication and commitment from her students, and will not hesitate to deliver swift punishment on anyone… slacking.

Due to multiple summoning accidents during her attempts to perform the witching ceremony (specifically, a sex demon interfered with the ritual on the other end and got itself summoned instead of what Cherri meant to on three separate occasions before being sealed away), Cherri was infected with demonic sexual energies, and as such is extremely outgoing when it comes to sex, as well as having a libido bordering on nymphomania. Very few kinks are off limits for her (snuff and scat being the most notable exceptions), and she sometimes tries to pressure her sexual partners (especially those with whom she’s previously had sex with) to indulge in her more esoteric kinks.

Familiar Bio: Sabrovar is a demon of a rather peculiar variety. Taking the appearance of inanimate objects, his kind are typically taken as trophies and servants by more powerful demons. During this time they often enter a state of inactivity (almost like hibernation) in which they are technically aware of everything going on about them but cannot act or communicate with anyone, even their owner. However, as his kind “sleep” they accrue vast stores of knowledge (magical and otherwise) from their masters and other nearby sources, and as demon treasures often trade hands for one reason or another, from multiple masters they gain more and more knowledge over time. Eventually, these inanimate demons will become more magically powerful than the one that owns them, at which point they “activate” and use their power to reverse the roll of master and servant, turning their previous owners into little more than meat puppets. Few reach this level of power, however, for often they are instead destroyed by demons looking to destroy their owner’s possessions, during fights between their owner and rival demons looking to claim or enforce power, or simply when their owner catches wind of their true nature and destroys them out of practicality. Sometimes, however, they may activate early to protect themselves, and their demon owner may enter into a pact with them that grants them their life in exchange for a lifetime of service. Other times they are summoned to the mortal world as familiars for witches, and they often accept this role despite the limitations the familiar contract enforces due to them having a greater life expectancy in the mortal world, and being able to gather more magical knowledge through their connection to the witch than what can be gathered in the demon realm.

Sabrovar is one of the few of his kind who has managed to live far beyond his normal life expectancy through such familiar contracts, and as such has accrued levels of power that could potentially allow him to control a demon king were he to ever come into contact with one. He is also capable of moving under his own power, giving him greater agency in keeping himself alive in the demon realm. Surviving in the mortal world as a familiar is still indefinitely easier, however, and so when Cherri’s summoning ritual finally operated unimpeded and put him in contact with her, he accepted the contract with little hesitation. Cherri then immediately proceeded to call him “Brim”, and he has not been able to shake the nickname since.

Familiar Personality: Having lived a much longer life than any normal mortal, and much more so for one of his kind, you might expect Brim to be calm, collected, and perhaps slightly pompous. He is not. He is loud, brash, and more obnoxious than anything. He loves to laugh, and a lot of things are funny to him, especially the antics of mortals. He has been the familiar of a great many witches throughout the ages, and each age he lives through has given him a chance to watch the chaotic, contradictory actions mortals have taken in their existence firsthand, something he enjoys immensely. He is even willing to offer his witch the knowledge to extend their life far beyond the normal mortal limit in order to stay in the mortal world longer. That’s not to say he can’t be serious, however, and threats to his or his witch’s well-being are rarely met with nothing less than the full brunt of his magical power, often using it to show that his taste for the mortal world is more than figurative. Which is then often followed by a bad joke.

He tends to display affection towards his pact witch in each generation, and he has a self-admitted soft spot for Cherri in particular, likely due to their many similarities in personalities. For her he is willing to accept a number of requests, including going inactive at certain points when Cherri doesn’t want him to scare or intimidate someone (typically a customer). It helps that often Cherri will offer him the chance to possess her body afterwards, something he greatly enjoys doing, which also serves to reinforce the bond of trust they share. This enjoyment is not limited solely to Cherri – he appreciates any chance to have hands, legs, and sexual organs, regardless of who happens to be wearing him at the time. Anyone who allows him to possess their body immediately earns his respect – though that doesn’t necessarily translate to him being gentle with the body while possessing it, particularly if Cherri is in the mood for some sexy fun.

Additional Notes
- Cherri a habit of transforming people into clothes – particularly swimwear – and wearing them for up to a week before transforming them back.
- Brim has a habit of threatening to eat people that anger/threaten him or Cherri.
- Cherri believes in the Judeo-Christian God, having been raised into the faith by her witch coven.
- Brim claims to know, but refuses to confirm or deny the validity of Cherri’s faith (he might just be lying).
- Cherri will sometimes summon the very sex demon that screwed up her witching ceremonies to indulge in her extreme kinks when she cannot find any other partner, and will have Brim possess it to keep it under control.
- Cherri’s magical prowess is largely a result of Brim’s influence, and even today she still relies on him for his vast pools of power and knowledge. When separated, Cherri can have difficulty recalling some advanced aspects of her magic, and will become more easily exhausted when performing magical feats.
