Thirteen

• Councilor of the Acanthus

Appearance

Standing 5'6" and in good shape, Thirteen's most notable physical asset is her hair. A fiery red explosion of a glorious afro. Coupled with her heavily-freckled face, she catches everyone's eye when she enters a room. Her sharp eyes are brown. The Acanthus regularly dresses like a biker chick, complete with rock band t-shirts and her signature leather jacket, but she just as often wears cute bib overalls or even more stylish ensembles. Scarves are a common addition to her outfits, and she has quite a collection of them.

Nimbus

Shards of a broken mirror slowly orbit around Thirteen, both large and small. Each shard reflects the image of a different symbol of bad luck. Black cats, crows, upside down horseshoes, cracked tea cups, spilled salt, broken clocks and more. Most notable are multiple iterations of the number 13, in different colors and fonts. When she uses Vulgar magic, the shards orbit faster, flashing dangerously like spinning knives.

Tropes

13 Is Unlucky: The whole point of her Shadow Name.

Bad Luck Mitigation Mechanic: Basically what the Quantum Flux spell does, when she casts it.

Born Unlucky: Thirteen was apparently born with tremendous bad luck. The universe itself seemed to be out to make her life suck as much as possible.

Brave Scot: She's got guts, and she is Scottish.

Bullet Time: Can happen if she's using a Time Arcanum armor spell.

Clever Crows: Jinx is definitely one of those, of the "plucky comic relief" sort.

Cosmic Plaything: How Thirteen has felt about her life before Awakening.

Creepy Crows: Jinx isn't generally creepy, but he does feed on carrion sometimes.

Doom Magnet: Her bad luck didn't only affect herself. Friends and family seemed to suffer as well. Her parents died in two separate freak accidents!

Familiar: Thirteen has one, a crow named Jinx!

Fiery Redhead: And how!

Fixing the Game: How Acanthus generally operate through life with the Fate Arcanum.
