When a wizard's experiments go awry, it takes a witch to fix them. 

I interview Larina about her various magical charms and one very important one. 

Larina’s life was a testament to order amidst chaos, her every possession meticulously organized except for one glaring exception—her love life.

If you were to step into Larina’s world, you’d find her personal library sorted with the precision of a librarian’s dream, her spice cabinet a model of culinary organization, and her collection of magic charms cataloged down to their last enchantment. Yet, when it came to matters of the heart, Larina’s journey had been anything but orderly.

If you were to ask her who her perfect is, she would laugh and say, “At what point in my life?”

Her romantic history read like a series of chapters in on of her favorite Scientific Romance novels, each chapter marked by a different character, each a potential Mr. or Mrs. Right in its own time, and each ending is some sort of spectacular disaster. 

In her youth, Larina fell deeply for Eric, a charismatic and enigmatic figure who embodied danger and allure. He was her first love, her first husband, but also her first lesson in heartbreak. As their relationship deepened, Eric’s darker nature emerged, driving a wedge between them that even Larina’s magic couldn’t heal. She left him and hoped he would never pursue her. 

Katrina “Kat” followed soon after, a woman just slightly younger than her from a troubled background. Their connection was intense, fueled by shared scars from their pasts. It was a love born in tumult, a stormy affair that ultimately foundered on the rocks of their unresolved traumas.

Then came Scáthaithe, a Vata’an Lord whose arrival in Larina’s life was as unexpected as it was transformative. Despite their rocky start, their union gifted Larina with their beloved child, Taryn, a testament to the complexities of love that defy neat categorization.

Now, at this juncture in her life, Larina seeks a partner who understands her, who shares her dreams, and can converse in the language of her heart. Blonde or white hair would be a charming bonus, she muses with a smile. Gender is no barrier; Larina has loved both men and women, often wondering if her ideal partner might combine the best of both worlds.

Perhaps, she ponders whimsically, her perfect match isn’t singular but plural—a perfect threesome, a harmonious trinity where the energies of three intertwine like threads in a potent spell. Three is a magically potent number after all. She had tasted this once with Asabalom and Maryah, a Rezean couple whose brief but intense connection left an indelible mark on her heart despite their eventual parting. These nature adepts had responsibilities to their lands, and Larina had her responsibilities as well. 

For Larina, the pursuit of Mr. or Mrs. Right isn’t about finding perfection in one person, but in finding harmony amidst diversity, understanding amidst complexity, and love that transcends the boundaries of convention. In her world, where magic weaves through every facet of existence, love too must be magical, potent, and transformative.

A fondness for tea and books is not required, but a nice bonus.

Larina fell in love with someone for the first time when she was 12 summers old. Her best friend was a girl named Aurora. Their mothers had been friends, and Aurora would often come by to visit. Larina would look forward to these visits every single time. Aurora was older, 14 summers, and lived in the nearby village. Close enough to make visits possible but far enough to make them infrequent. 

Aurora, a tall girl with blond hair and green eyes, was the sun around which Larina’s world revolved.  From the time Larina was eight years old until the summer of her 12th year, Aurora would come to stay at Larina’s home in the country. Here, they spent their days playing, swimming in the creek, and sometimes doing the work needed for Lar’s and Sian’s apothecary. But Larina’s father, Lars, was terrible at making his daughter work, so he often let her and Aurora play or sit in the back of the shop and talk while he did the work the girls were supposed to be doing. Sian, her mother,  would pretend not to notice. But even then, there was sadness in her eyes when she looked at Aurora. It was not till many years later that Larina would discover why.

During those summer nights, Larina’s upstairs room would be too hot for both girls to sleep in. So, they often took their blankets and candles outside. Larina wanted to tell ghost stories, but Aurora never liked those. So, they looked up at the stars and imagined what they were like. Were they the gods like the elders in the village said, or points of light in the fabric of night? Larina thought they were worlds like this one, with people on them.  Aurora turned the conversation to the future and wondered what her husband would be like, whether she would have children, and what her home would be like. Larina told Aurora she wanted a husband who was just like her. Aurora only said that her stepfather expected her to marry a rich man soon. Larina could not even think of being married. There was still so much of the world she had not seen yet. Aurora told Larina she was just a girl, but she would understand one day. Larina said nothing. She knew there was a lot she didn’t know about the world, but she was sure there was more than what Aurora wanted. If the two them were together, then they both could have everything.

Larina moved closer and held Aurora’s hand, and both girls fell asleep under the stars.

As summer drew on, the girls had more adventures, including finding a cave that Lars had to rescue them from. Sian scolded the girls for being reckless, but Lars, in his fashion, sang them a song about two brave princesses who entered a dark cave to slay a dragon.

When the summer ended, Aurora’s stepfather came to claim her, not her mother. Larina could tell this was unusual, and Sian had asked many times about her friend with no answers.  

Aurora did not return the next summer. Larina was deep into her studies of witchcraft now, and she had been initiated into the coven that previous Autumn as a full member, so she was constantly reading and practicing her witchcraft that she also didn’t notice.

It was not till many years after that that Larina realized what she had felt for the other girl was love.

Here is the story of Larina. The little girl who would become the Queen of Witches.
