Background/History: Natasha Weischlange has been enamored with magic for as long as she can remember. As a child she read all she could on it, finding accounts both of stage magicians, as well as real sorcerers - such as Gigelf Liqueur - fascinating. Quickly she realized that following in her parent's footsteps and studying law - or marketing - was not for her; Natasha wanted to be a sorceress.

As her parents were fairly wealthy, they decided to indulge their daughter's wishes and dutifully allowed her to attend the University of Berkeley, which was known for it's fairly comprehensive program in magical studies. Natasha, immersed in her element, excelled in her classes, graduating as a fully licensed magician.

Once she had left school, Natasha realized she had a problem; what does a magician do for a living? She didn't want to work for a company, the idea of being a secretary by day and a witch by night was not what she had in mind as a lifestyle. So cashing in various securities and a savings bond, Natasha bought a small building in downtown Ellicott City and set up shop, opening "Naga's Occult Bookstore and Curios." Business is sporadic to say the least, and she supplements her store income by occasionally acting as a stage magician for parties and shows, but it does make sufficient money that Natasha can practice her sorcery in peace.

Personality/Motivation: Natasha has one main aim in her life, to learn all she can about magic. An accomplished Thaumaturge, she is currently studying the Hermetic tradition and from there will probably branch out into Cabalistic methods. She studies constantly and is always on the look out for a new book or other source of spell knowledge. She isn't foolhardy in her pursuit, however, but she will follow up any lead she gets as best as she can.

For all her magical prowess (and she is fairly powerful, probably more than she realizes), Natasha is also shy and very much a bookworm. Her appearance and her interests made many people wary of her all though college, so her people skills aren't what they could be. Currently, Natasha is hoping to add "consultant to the Phenomena Department" to her resume, as well as researching spells for dispelling magical enchantments and the ability to fly.

*BOOM*

"Owww..." *cough* "What did I do wrong *this* time?"

Powers/Tactics: Her studies in Thaumaturgy have given Natasha command of a wide number of spells. Most are simple cantrips, useful around the house, but less so in a combat situation. She does have command of a variety of attack spells however, and true to her Thaumaturgy nature these spells call upon various elemental forces.
