Once a Mage

Description

Though she would  go on to be renowned as an infantry soldier, Sergeant Princess, "Prin," Wollingsworth's first experience in the ranks of AMAZON1 was a far cry for the distinguished service she would later achieve.

The organization's nascent Enchantment Corps had recently proven itself through is use of teleportation magic to evacuate the bulk of the troops left stranded on isolated outposts, following the loss of the Cosmo Corps, in the wake of the Great Betrayal. Following this Thames2-like moral victory, a great priority was placed upon building up the ranks of newly ascendant force, and many magical potential enlistees were funneled to its ranks.

As a result, when a 5 foot, 3 inch British literature professor with pink hair and pig tails found her way to Sherwood Cluster, she was summarily issued a gold uniform and sent to train with the War Magi candidates.

The only weapon Prin was issued at the time was a Wand Holder, the standard Side-Charm of a War Mage.

As a War Mage candidate, Prin was an utter disaster. Unable even to illuminate the muzzle of her Side Charm, the most basic of the mage disciplines, she was given the nickname, "Princess Darkwand" by the more promising candidates.

As many legendary sorceresses are late bloomers, Prin's repeated requests for transfer were ignored, in the hopes that she would discover some form of latent power. As a result, Prin enjoyed the hospitality of the AMAZON Enchantment Corps, for two grueling weeks.

Her fortunes changed when, pushed to the breaking point, Prin struck back at the magi who had picked on her.

All five of them.

At once.

Putting five bigger girls in the infirmary got her kicked out of the Enchantment Corps, but also caught the eye of Field Marshal Fields, who authorized her transfer to the infantry.

Fields: "You've been cherry-picking my girls to find someone who can do magic, Giselle! I have every right to pick the one of yours who can actually fight."

The rest is history.


1.) AMAZON: Anti Maidification Army for the Zealous Oliteration of Nomad

2.) The Battle of the Thames: The brief engagement during the 1898 Martian invasion in which HMS Thunder Child covered the successful evacuation of civilians from the river Thames, at the cost of its own life. It is the Maid Wars universe's analog to Dunkirk. ;p
