[a pause. she reaches for her journal at her side, plucking her quill from underneath the cover, twirling same around her fingers as she searches for her next works]
Magillanica was born with an unusually high resonance. [he should remember that term, from their conversation about malakhim] But that was back before most people even knew malakhim existed, since the average person was unable to sense them. Her parents thought her powers were a bit too out of the ordinary-- but then again, who wouldn't be suspicious of a child holding conversations with an empty space? And so, that's how Magillanica wound up with the circus.
[a flick of her wrist. the quill disappears. some simple sleight-of-hand. another flick and it's back, tucked between her knuckles]
She would perform in small shows. Levitate objects and make them disappear for coin, and the like. To the normal person, her abilities were real magic, but that's only because they couldn't see the malakhim assisting her with each trick.
[a pause]
Bienfu, by the way.
[oh. so that's where Bienfu came in]
To the Abbey, her abilities were an asset. People with such a high resonance weren't born every day, you know. And the Abbey needed someone to take over Melchior's position as the Shepherd's shadow eventually.
