Decompose - Aofie can rapidly decompose an already deceased organism, prompting micro-organisms to multiply at an expedited rate, returning the flesh and nutrients to the soil, and leaving behind only ivory bones if it possessed a skeleton to begin with.
Bone Servant - Provided a corpse does not have a lingering soul clinging to the mortal plane, Aofie can raise a cadaver from the earth to wander the land once again. Possessing no will of their own, they are quite effective workers.
Rapid Regeneration - Aofie does not simply heal wounds, but instead forces rapid cell growth to recover from wounds far quicker. This allows her to heal others, but the process is noticeably more painful than if a proper healer was doing it.
- White Magic -
Mend - Aofie can repair broken objects, such as farm equipment or the bones of a deceased creature.
Personality
Aofie is an eccentric lass with a taste for the finer things in life. Her ultimate goal is to create a world where no one has to go hungry and everyone is capable of being treated like royalty. How does she plan to accomplish this? Why by making the dead do all the work for them. She believes that life is a beautiful thing. That the arts should be the forefront of everyone's concerns and the pinnacle of civilization. Fashion, cuisine, literature, whatever it may be. People shouldn't need to concern themselves on matters of survival.
She is kindly, perhaps a bit pompous, calling herself a Duchess of a castle (which is an old rundown fort from ages ago). However, she has gone just a tad bit crazy in her solitude, naming each and every "servant" under her care and talking with them as though they are her friends. Its been too long since she's seen another being of flesh, and not just bone.
Background
Aofie's parents were researchers who came on an expedition to the Unknown Territory in search of answers. Why was a child brought along for such a dangerous journey? An excellent question, but a less than excellent answer: sheer lack of foresight. Among their crewmates was a healer, well versed in green magic. She learned the basics of green magic, and was able to animate her old doll. One day a crew of undead stole their ship, leaving them stranded. At the time, they had found an old fort to keep themselves safe in, and that was where they set up camp. Over time, many of the remaining crew grew sick, or eaten by wildlife, or simply investigated deeper and never returned. Soon, by sheer luck or misfortune, however you choose to look at it, only Aofie had remained. She buried the last of the fallen, as everyone else had done. But she was still so sick of all this working she had to do. Everyone had practically worked themselves to death fighting for survival, and now she was the only one left to do anything!... Unless...
The oldest corpse, exhumed, practically just bone by now, she realized there was life still in this decayed body. She could spurn it with what little magic she knew, and then perhaps... Over the next few weeks, Aofie was able to get the skeleton to raise its arm. Then its torso. Then it could walk. Soon after she could have it till the earth. Suddenly, she wasn't alone in her fight for survival. She started exhuming the other corpses from her makeshift graveyard, and soon after she had a wonderful workforce of 12. The occasional wolf, cat, or bear was also conscripted as beasts of burdens, body guards, or just companions.
Soon she wasn't worried about having to survive any more. She had crops growing, security, and most importantly, time. Time to do whatever she wanted. Eventually she took to the loom, which she constructed from wood and bone and began making her own outfits. 10 years of nothing to do but practice on the loom grants people amazing skills in a craft. Soon after, she was quite proficient. Knowing how to command her army, they took to enacting her designs. Then she began cooking. And soon, even her skeletons were fantastic chefs. And Aofie began to feel like royalty. Life was so fun when you weren't under threat of death.
