She touched the tombstone ever so carefully, her eyes suddenly brimming with unshed tears as she read the engravings, reminiscing the day it was marked.


Here lies

Hazel Pierre Marx


Beloved wife and mom

Just whisper my name in your heart and I will be there


There was a cruel irony about the stone in the way it stood. With its youthful glow, strong and erect, ready to last a hundred years or more. While her mother had already perished, from flesh and blood to bones and decay.

She gently kissed the stone after laying down an assemble of white carnations, calla lillies and orchids that she'd brought along with her near its foot. Her letter tucked inside it.

Wiping her eyes, she stood up and left for the old library where Jax was waiting for her. Beneath her footsteps lied the cold stones, each marking a dwelling place wherein no-one was home.

「 Name 」

「Nadine Victoria Marx」

The name Nadine is of French origin and means hope.

Her parents often call her Nadi which she really loves. As a baby, she would stop at Nadi, not adding -ne at the end whenever someone asked for her name. She grew up well-spoken but the name somehow stuck.

「 Age • DOB • Zodiac 」

「sixteen • 16.09.2002 • Virgo」

Nadine was born pre-mature and it was unlikely that she would survive. However, the fighter instinct had been pretty strong in her even as a baby. She never abstains from voicing her opinions when necessary and would more than definitely kick ass if woefully wronged by someone.

Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and are often tender. Their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason.

「 Gender • Pronouns 」

「 Female • She/Her 」

Nadine loves being a female and takes pride in it.

「 Birthplace • Current Location 」

「Ontario, Canada • Nixcreek」

Canada has always held a special place in Nadine's heart. She was only two when they moved to Nixcreek, a small town with a population less than one thousand, located in the middle of nowhere. Strange, funny things keep happening to its people and Nadine's not excused from the fold. Infact, sometimes, she helped cause it.

「 Species 」

She's typically human. Although, flexible enough to become a human-esque witch with non-witchy powers but a penchant for spell-magic.

「 Sexual/ Romantic Preference 」


Boys are great, girls are great. They both bring something to the table that she likes. She discovered her sexuality quickly after puberty, when one day her friend Jax dared her to kiss Indy, their geeky classmate. She realized that it was possible to have the same conflicting feelings for a boy as well as a girl. Indy never spoke to her again.

「 Ethnicity 」

Nadine is primarily caucasian, and her ancestors have hailed from around the Europe. Her mother was of English and French ancestry, while her father is a third-generation Armenian-Canadian.

「 Languages Known 」

「English and French」

English is Nadine's first language and her accent keeps alternating between British and Canadian. She's also fluent in French, as she has learned the language growing up.

「 Occupation 」


Nadine is a Sophomore at Felicity High School. She enjoys learning and her favorite subject is Chemistry. Usually she scores good but not outstanding like her friend Jax who tops almost every class he's in.

「 Voice 」

「Gentle • Quiet」

Nadine has a deep undertone to her voice which might seem soothing on occasion. There is a mild raspy quality to her voice, though it is still very gentle and quiet.


Nadine was born in Ontario, Canada to a well to do family. Her father owns a small diner that pays well and is always bustling with customers from near and far. Her mother used to help in the diner while working as a personal stylist. She died five years after they moved to Nixcreek.

After her mother's death, things got a bit strained between her and her father for a short time, but it came to an end when she decided to spend her free hours helping him in the diner. Nadine also took keen interest in art and later found her calling in makeup. She's obsessed with Mac beauty products and happily spends large chunks of her 'earned' money buying them.

She met Jax at a ripe age of 9 and they quickly became friends after ending up in detention for things they didn't do. They almost behave like long lost siblings and never back down from a challenge.

One day while looking for short-story books in the library, Nadine stumbles upon an ancient book of spells which much to her amusement, was titled "Spell Diary Of A Pissed Off Witch, Keep Away". She didn't even think twice about borrowing it.

As the days passed, she found herself immersing more and more into it. Jax told her the book seemed harmful and should be demolished. She simply ignored him and obsessively practiced the spells, even when some unknown voice kept throwing insults at her whenever she failed to get it right.

「 Weight • Height 」

「115lbs • 5'2」

Even though she's a shortie (as Jax likes to tease her), she isn't easily intimidated. She's comfortable with both her height and weight. In fact, it was never a big deal to her. She finds it grating and upsetting when her classmates worry too much about theirs in front of her.

「 Body Type • Body Shape 」

「Mesomorph • Hourglass」

As a mesomorph, she doesn’t have to worry too much about what she eats but still likes to follow a fitness regime and eats clean most of the time. Doing of her father, who is keen on regular exercise, veggies and home-made food. She has a medium build with a strong, lean, slightly athletic body. Her shoulders are slightly wider than her hips which provides a defined hourglass body shape with good posture.

「 Complexion 」


Nadine has fair skin with a slight sunkissed look to it. She is a nature-lover and loves the sunlight by extension. And hence, tries to stay out in the sun as much as she can, which isn't really a problem in Nixcreek.

「 Eye Color 」

「Bright Blue」

Nadine's eyes have often been described as her best feature. Her doe-eyed gaze holds a significant amount of innocence which works a lot in her favor. They're a compelling bright blue which twinkles in light.

「 Hair Color • Texture 」

「Dark Brown • Thick」

Nadine has slightly (what she likes to call) wild hair. No amount of straightning could keep them in place. Despite that she tries her best to tame her hair, usually ending up with thick waves that lose texture only after a few hours. Nowadays, she has taken to chanting spells and brewing potions as a quick-fix.

「 Tattoos • Piercings 」

She has her ears pierced and despises any permanent alteration on her skin through ink. Hence, she has no tattoos but loves to buy earrings. Lately, Jax has made it his life's mission to get her to agree for one, that they would both get in the memory of their rebellious phase. It's not hard to remind him that he's the most anti-rebel boy she's ever known. And the conversation never stops.

「 Clothing Style 」

Comfortable yet fashion-forward. It's never about labels, brands or trends for Nadine, it's about a personal choice that comes from within. She believes that your style is what people notice first and how well you carry yourself. Shift dresses are her favorite thing to wear but she doesn't mind donning a casual tee and jeans for a change.

❝Fashion only knows one way: Forward!❞

┄─━━━ ༻༺━━━─┄


Nadine is a strong, lively, ambitious girl who constantly tries to one up herself. She is willing to see things through until the end, irrespective of what goes on along the way. She's also quite obsessive about getting things right, she continues to push and push until she gets what she aims for. Occasionally, she likes to boast as well, showing a condescending side to her nature. Even though an innovative thinker, she tends to show a serious lack of responsibility. Her mother's demise has made her resilient, she adapts to changes well and always bounce back from the tribulations life has to offer. She is accepting of people as they are.

「 Hobbies 」

「Music • Makeup • Art appreciation」


Ever since she was little, Nadine has harbored a deep love for music. Whenever she feels overwhelmed or wants to escape reality, she'd put the earplugs in, letting the world disappear.


Nadine has always taken interest in the art of makeup. As a kid she used to accompany her mother on various events and watch her smooth out the harsh lines on different faces, making them look flawless at best. She'd learned a lot of tricks and methods through youtube.

•Art Appreciation•

Looking at artwork was another thing she found solace in. It gave her focus, ideas and inspiration. Her father still to this date, takes her out to art galleries.  

「 Habits 」

•Obsessing over details

•Wiggling her nose like a bunny and not knowing that she's doing it

「 Strengths 」


Because of her small size and athletic body, Nadine is very light on her feet. She's swift in her movements and can be very sneaky when required.


Nadine is highly observant and can see right through BS. She learns people's behavior quickly by observing them and would then filter out who are her allies and who to avoid.

•Easy-going nature•

Nadine has no problem making friends and talks kindly with everyone, including strangers. This works in her favor a lot.

「 Weaknesses 」


As a virgo, she tends to obsess over little things and doesn't back down from what she believes in, unless convinced otherwise which is usually unlikely.


She tends to be critical of herself and others around her. Whenever she fails to do something or feel like she's not better enough, she will try to put herself down. Her blunt remarks often end up upsetting people, that's why she never offers criticism unless asked.  

•Mildly Superficial•

When it comes to clothes, accessories and makeup, Nadine tends to be slightly superficial in her opinions. She hates poor color coordination in outfits and overdone makeup.

「 Skills / Abilities 」

•Quick Thinking

•Emotionally Expressive



「 Mother 」

「 Hazel Pierre Marx • Thirty • Deceased 」

Nadine and Hazel shared a very close and profound mother-daughter relationship. She felt more relaxed, lively, creative and happy around her mother. They used to count the stars, listen to rock music and make awful drawings together. Her mother instilled the makeup bug in her. Nadine was devastated at her passing. She regularly visits her mother's grave like every other person who has lost a piece of themselves.

「 Travis Adam Marx • Thirty One • Alive 」

┄─━━━ ༻༺━━━─┄

┄─━━━ ༻༺━━━─┄

They share an equally strong bond but in a manner that is more friendly than parent-y. They eat breakfast and dinner together every night and talk about random things, including future plans for food and life.

「 Siblings 」


「 Relatives 」

Too far to maintain a proper relationship.

「 Best Friend

「Jaxon Arquette • Fifteen • Gay」

❝Jax could read her faster than a tweet.❞

They are best friends in all the ways that count. Nadine would go to war for him if need be and vice-versa.

┄─━━━ ༻༺━━━─┄

Jax is a sweet, thoughtful and anxious boy with a habit of talking non-stop. He loves to talk and his willingness to communicate goes beyond the level of an average person. He's one of those brilliant kids who go above and out to achieve their goals. Hence, he's rarely out of control and gets easily frustrated. He's also the biggest dork Nadine has ever known. His boycrush on Loki is an example of the same. He has a tumblr page dedicated to Marvel fan fiction and would easily get into arguments over his favorite bands and music artists.

❝You don't understand and I can't explain.❞


「 Color 」

Purple, especially lilac and lavender

「 Number 」

7, her mother's birth date

「 Animal 」

Llama, because they know their limits. If you try to overload a llama with too much weight, the llama is likely to lie down or simply refuse to move.
