Appearance 
Chisé has red hair which she keeps short. Her eyes are green. Her clothes vary, but she is most often seen with a red sweater, skirt and green coat. She was gifted a necklace made from a cursed stone, a stone who's hole was created naturally at the bottom of a river, by Ellias. By looking through the centre, she can see the true form of Ellias' acquaintances. Another permanent edition is a ring she wears on her right index finger. It was made by Angelica Barlei and gifted to her by Ellias, The ring keeps her from absorbing too much magic.

Personality
Chisé had originally given up on life and was willing to sell herself. She did not care what happend to her. When bought by Ellias, she seemed fine being viewed as his experiment because he took her in when no one else would. As time, however it's apparent that she was worried that Ellias would throw her aside. After getting good advice from Nevin, she seems to open to the idea of being more open with Ellias.

She can be rash with magic, exhausting herself for the sake of others. She is afraid of thunder, perhaps because she had to suffer it alone.

Background
There was a point in time when she was happy. Both her parents had the gift of sight. As a Slay Vega, she attracted spirits both good and bad. Her father kept them away, until he ran away with her brother. After, her mother became stressed with the almalgamations that constantly appeared. She tried to kill Chisé, but let go of her daughter's throat. Instead, her mother left her the only way she could and killed herself.

Chisé  was moved from house to house, until a man confronted her and convinced her to sell herself to someone who would care for her. At the time she knew that she was a Slay Vega, but not what that was, nor why someone would find value in her. The man taught her how to read and speak English. It is mentioned in an extra that they made her look dirty to earn sympathy.

At the auction house, she was bought for five million pounds and began living with Ellias Ainsworth.

Ellias Einsworth
Ellias is  Chise's magic teacher. He promises to find a way to extend her life, asking her to withold from magic as much as possible so she does not weaken her body further. Early on, Ellias mentions that he will make her his wife, though whether he was serious or not is uncertain, most of the fae believe her to be his wife.

Lindenbaum
Linden is the elder that finishes  Chise's  first staff. While carving said staff,  Linden tells her a bedtime story about the magi and Ellias' past, something that Ellias chose not to speak about.

Ruth
Chise's familiar, who considers her a sister. Chisé looks like Ruth's old master, Isabelle. As  familiar and master, they share the same lifespan. Ruth is able to experience the emotions, thoughts, and memories of  Chisé and will often tell others what she is thinking when she refuses to.

Nevin
Chisé shares Nevin's last dream, a final flight before he returns to the earth. As promised,  Chisé  uses a branch off his tree to form her staff and by doing so, creates a link with him where they can meet between the world of the living and the dead.

Slay Vega
Metaphorically, Slay Vegas have a lot of blood, but a weak heart. They are able to gather and expend vaste amounts of magic, so much so that their bodies wear away. They are known to have short lives and die in one of their long periods of rest.

Because of these traits, magicians are willing to pay a high price to have them as a tool of vast magic, to spend to the point of exhaustion for the rest of their short lives.
