The Carver

The Carver is an agent of the Department of Floaters. She is written by Astral Void.

Appearance
The Carver is about 5'7. She has long, dark brown hair that extends to her waist, black eyes and a permanent glare. She usually wears dresses, but when working, she wears pants and a jacket, usually black leather. She has a number of scars in certain patterns cut into her skin.

Personality
The Carver is polite, civil, and utterly creepy. She refuses to tolerate partners and will stop at nothing to drive them away. Otherwise, she tends to be quite normal until she throws out the occasional creepy line. She is also prone to telling long stories and talking to her cat. To be fair, the cat does respond. The Carver is also a masochist, and happens to have a knife fetish. She is very protective of her knives.

After the death of her lover (see below), the Carver hates having partners, stating that it feels like a betrayal. Although this is a silly idea, she will not be dissuaded, and for best effect, one should probably not refer to Fix as a replacement partner.

Abilities
The Carver, despite being a wizard, cannot cast conventional spells for her continuum. What she can do is cast spells by drawing a symbol, infusing it with magic that takes the form of what the symbol represents, touching the symbol and directing the energy at something- hence the spells carved into her skin, which are her last resort measure. She is also very skilled at handling knives.

History
The Carver began life as the sister of a Mary Sue in a Dresden Files badfic. Her sister was an Archive who was completely sane and could do some very uncanonical magic, while the Carver was a borderline Sue. The agents who sporked the fic killed the sister and recruited the Carver, who soon changed her name. The Carver's first partner trained her and retired. Her second partner became her lover, until he was killed by a Sue. Since then, she has driven away every partner she has been assigned to, until the Flowers assigned her Fix and refused to let either of them transfer. She has decided to get along with him, but she doesn't like it.

Between partners, the Carver acquired a Burmese cat she named 'Lake Schrodinger'. Lake is not, in fact, a cat- she understands English and often partakes in conversations, and she can teleport. She refuses to answer any questions as to what she is, though.
