brainstorming
character ideas
- twin of a well-known witch who is on the watch list of every big witch hunter's list who swears she's normal and just wants to live a normal life
- maybe originally wanted to be a florist growing up but now has to avoid anything witch-related even remotely and increasingly resents the limits on her life (like she can't cook now either, thanks)
- potentially becoming a witch hunter in reponse?
- could be yongmi's - but not twin - niece?
- another version as yongmi's niece: is 100% human (just over limit maybe? 21? without single instance of magic) and is pretty much there to help maintain their cover against witch hunters because she's literally not magic
- very good at logic + sounding smart + lying so she covers if something magical accidentally happens
- maybe originally wanted to be a florist growing up but now has to avoid anything witch-related even remotely and increasingly resents the limits on her life (like she can't cook now either, thanks)
- witch from a family of witch hunters who runs away because she's scared they're going to turn her in
- always the black sheep of the family and doesn't feel like her family loves her so much as they care that she uplifts the family name or at least stays out of their way
- maybe they actually don't care for her as much as the family or maybe have older sibling who is the golden child she's compared to and can never live up to
- in contrast, rebel of the family who wants to be herself - even if it's against everything they stand for
- reverse! witch hunter from family of witches who is pretty sad that she's the only one who can't do magic, but thinks magic is cool and is trying to find witches to get them to stay safe aka not do magic.
- maybe absolute bottom of company and is always gossiped about / laughed at because she's so terrible, but it's on purpose?
- or maybe she didn't realize that she grew up surrounded by magic because it was super subtle (like her mom's plants just grew really well and her dad's cooking always tasted good) so she'll see magic but think it's normal
- is made fun of for catching witches mid-magic but not realizing it
- grad student who doesn't really know what she's doing with her life and became a witch hunter just because
- has someone in the family who's high-ish in one of the witch-hunting companies and is trying to get her to "apply herself" but she's pretty meh
- conversely, is doing a doctoral paper on how this whole witch identifying thing is total bogus and goes to the cafe to prove that you can't prove witches but accidentally figures it out day one and now has to figure out a way to turn this foolproof method into a failure
- maybe has someone in her family who is a witch who was wrongly accused / rightly accused but with a method that was wrong (like torture)
- since it has to be witch vs witch hunter, maybe she's a witch pretending to be a witch hunter, trying to disestablish their entire foundation for witch-finding?
- contrast, witch hunter trying to find reliable and more humane way of identifying magic
- trying to use science to measure magic somehow - coming up with crazy invention that measure magic particles?
- maybe is being paid by witch hunters and basically is an honorary witch hunter in title
- would be pretty funny if she keeps on "failing" because the air around her is saturated in magic (aka she thinks the cafe is just a really good cafe with no magic) - aka she oblivious as heck
was this a good idea to start? who knows
