Name: Dyshelle Powell, sometimes called Miss Shellie by her students.
Age: “Come now, don’t you know better than to ask a lady her age?†26
Birthday: August 14th
Gender: Female.
Category: Teacher—Home Economics.
Appearance Description:
Dyshelle is of African American descent that gives her skin a rich, earthy brown color like well-ages mahogany. She has thick dark hair that surrounds her head in a dark halo with a streak of glowing blonde in her bangs. Her eyes are a dark chestnut color, and her face sports full lips, a broad nose, and a dark beauty mark at the corner of her mouth on the right side.
That is to say, that’s what her natural face looks like. She experiments with makeup avidly, and had been known to sport interesting combinations of eyeshadow and blush, and on hot days sports at least eyeliner and lipstick.
Shellie is very short, not quite reaching 5’0â€. Because of this she tends to sit on her desk during her classes with one leg ever so elegantly crossed over the other, mixing the ingredients with her students because otherwise it’s difficult to see her short, stocky form. She is visibly chubby, with a rounded, heart-shaped face and arms, legs, and a torso that gives the feeling of squishiness. On the whole, she looks like if she were to hug you it would feel like you just hugged a very well-made stuffed animal. She is an excellent hugger.
More often than not she will be wearing a dress that’s bouncy and wide, in bright shades of green, pink, yellow, and other colors. She is also always seen holding a wooden spoon with a long handle, which seems to act as both a wand and a very handy stirring instrument. People who make her mad have been known to receive merciless drubbings from her spoon.
Personality Description: She can be summed up with one word: bubbly. It doesn’t seem to matter how early she has to have class, how much she has to help a student with their work, or how difficult a customer is being--she always seems to enjoy it, performing her jobs with a smile and amiable chatter. She is especially good with children and animals, who seem to take to her equally as well.
That being said, it is possible to cause her to run out of kindness and patience. In the classroom she has very little patience for students who don’t seem to want to learn, and in her shop she has very little patience for a customer who doesn’t respect her wares. In the classroom the student will receive a stern reprimand, usually accompanied with the loud noise of her wooden spoon hitting their desk. In her store, she may charge a disrespectful or purposefully difficult customer something she calls the “Kiss Taxâ€.
Dyselle is a very good confidant and always have a shoulder open for her students and even her coworkers. She dislikes situations where she feels that she is not being listened to, or where violence seems to be the only answer. She is a baker, not a fighter.
Powers:
Culinary Magic: Used most notably for her sweets but extending to all kinds of food she makes, Dyselle has the ability to lace anything she makes with magic, giving it additional properties and leaving the actual taste and texture untouched aside from a pleasurable twinge of magic in every bite. Her food is no different from other food, but it has been known to cause addiction in people who are more susceptible to magical influences as a rule.
Her sweets can make you run faster, jump higher, make you feel like time is slowing down around you, gives you your own personal sound track to your life—just about anything you could want, these tasty little nibbles of cream and sugar can provide—but the effects are not permanent. In general, they last from the time of consumption to the time of digestion—so a time period of about six to eight hours depending on the person and type of food consumed.
Additionally, the food is usually made to give one or two specific effects: Marksman Mousse, for example, improves the sight of the person who consumes it, but nothing else is improved by the consumption of the treat.
Witchery: Dyselle is also capable of doing other witch tasks, like enchant objects, moving things around without touching them, casting spells/hexes, etc. She can fly with the use of a broom, and can talk to her familiar, Muffler, telepathically.
Muffler is a cat so fluffy that it is more fluff than cat. The cat has been known to make deliveries and man the store while her mistress teaches. It is not uncommon to walk into the store and be greeted by a meow and a cat sitting on the counter ready to answer your questions. Well, not literally answer as it can only speak to its mistress, but it can help you anyway.
