Phase 1: Don't Underestimate the Power of the Darkside
Raised as the first-born of a large Irish family, Mary-Eileen felt put upon and out of place with the strict upbringing. She rebelled as a teen, joining a dark group with heavy Gothic and vampiric undertones. It was here she discovered her innate talent for magic, but the three rote spells she developed during puberty could be put to unfortunate use.
Phase 2: An'ye harm none....
Realizing she had no interest in pursuing a dark path surrounded by dark friends, a teacher introduced her to a Bay Area Wiccan group where she learned ritualistic and channelled spellcasting. Unfortunately, her spellcasting abilities were stunted by her Wiccan training and she can only perfom 4 thaumaturgical spells. But she learned the Wiccan creed well. It was here she chose her name of Dowan, from the Celtic term for Spider.
Phase 3: Do what you will.
Still a bit of a rebel and a fiesty redhead at heart, Dowan does her best to follow the Wiccan creed, but still manages to cause trouble, overthink everything, and generally screw stuff up despite her best intentions. She works as a docent and currator at the Insect House at he SF ZOO.
