About Kipka Jinxspittle

Kipka is that rarest of things- a gnome Jinx. Born without magic, and at a high risk for the bleaching, her parents were beside themselves when their child was spirited away by a demon that had somehow made its way past the wardstones. She was kept prisoner by a foul demon for a little over two days, and being a (insert type of demon that feeds off fear) it grew fat off of her fear. But after being scared in a wide variety of ways for almost 48 hours straight, the very young gnome started to..well, grow bored- if it was going to eat her, it would have done so already. Kipka began to interrogate her captor, demanding to know what it planned for her. The demon was incensed at her pluck, and intimated that it would devour her then and there. Kipka countered that seemed unlikely- the demon hadnt taken a biological break of any sort in two days, so what did it really want? Futher attempts at engendering fear in its meal only aroused curiosity, and when she was finally rescued by a lastwall patrol looking for hostages, she had learned more about demons in her conversations than some had in months of study. She returned to her home literally aglow, and while she remained a jinx, she defied the bleaching stereotype by becoming an apothescholar specializing in demon- and devilology. While her parents were happy at this development, she disturbed the nongnomes around her, who thought the experience drove her mad and left her obsessed with these vile creatures.. But she remains an expert in her field, and has even started to do scientific based fieldwork to better study these creatures and ensure noone else had to go through what she went through, an experience she believes no nongnome would be enlightened by.
