Name: Jezebel Marie Bain
Age: 29 (Born 21/01/1986)
Occupation: Dark Wizard Hunter
Elite Assault Strike Team leader (SWORD Agent)

Physical Description

Standing at a robust five feet eleven inches, Jez tends to loom. With a long, lean figure that boasts athleticism, she has an impressive amount of physical strength, something she works hard on. She has olive-toned skin that is smooth in the areas without scars; there are plenty of those about her person, and she is always collecting more. The most prominent starts above her right eye and runs diagonally down to her left cheek. She has grown rather fond of it, and sometimes brushes her fingertips against it while she's thinking. She keeps her dark brown hair pulled back, usually in a messy bun; it is shoulder-length and curls loosely, with an unholy propensity for tangling into something not unlike a bird's nest. Her large, expressive eyes are the same dark brown hue and slightly heavy-lidded. With a sharp, fine-featured face, small, full mouth, and high cheekbones, she can appear misleadingly delicate.

Jez has both ears pierced - two in her left, three in her right - a tongue piercing, and three tattoos. The first is a winged skull across her upper back that she saw in the shop window, and the second is a memorial featuring a smoke-shrouded cross and black roses; it began as a cross in honour of her deceased parents and brother, the smoke and roses being added after the Fall of Hogwarts, in memory of the fellow Aurors who died there. It is located on her upper left arm. The third is a Harley-Davidson eagle design on her upper right arm featuring the immortal words, 'Ride to Live, Live to Ride'.

Due to her job, she wears practical clothes, mostly army surplus; lots of black, khaki and even camo. Incongruously, she very often wears a battered black leather jacket that is slightly too big for her. It has sentimental value that she would rather die than explain.

Personality Description

Jezebel Bain has always been aggressive and combative, in spite of - and in no small part because of - her feminine name and delicate features. She is a poor conversationalist, and historically has preferred to resolve issues with her wand and/or fists. Though she has mellowed over the past few years, she has to make a conscious effort to keep her cool, and can still find herself in the occasional duel or fistfight over minor matters. She isn't too hard on herself when this happens, figuring that she gave it her best shot, and there will forever be people in dire need of a punch in the mouth.

Jez is exceptional in combat, both Muggle and magical. From being Duelling Club President in Hogwarts, to becoming an Auror immediately afterwards, to forming SWORD and then creating her own hand-picked combat squad, she has worked with utter dedication to become most formidable indeed. She has sacrificed a lot to become The Amazon that other agents speak of with such respect, including the chance to have a normal life - family, friends, lovers, money and stability are beyond her means. Her commitment is beyond reproach, her amount of experience incredible. She lives the job; she is the job.

For such a ferocious person, she is surprisingly, incredibly loyal. Indeed, when coupled with her hard work, she is an exemplary ex-Hufflepuff, something she is proud of. Jez hates showing her non-aggressive emotions and, being a controversial sort of person, she bonds with few people. When she does make friends, though, she wouldn't hesitate to kill for them, die for them, blow up the whole world for them (if they somehow really needed this). This even extends to allies, which has inspired a lot of loyalty and respect from her squad.

Her most beloved possession is her 1978 Harley XLH Sportster Hugger, and she refuses to go anywhere without at least one blade about her person.

Boggart
Jez's Boggart would take the corpse of her Muggle brother, Danny. She would be able to banish it, usually by using the Ridikkulus spell to turn it into David Hasselhoff (who, for some reason, amuses her deeply). In the past, though, more resilient Boggarts have proven able to cycle through the bodies of her loved ones before being successfully defeated.

Mirror of Erised
If asked, Jez would immediately say that she already has everything she wants, and she simply cannot get any more awesome. If she really had to imagine what her deepest desire is, she would probably picture herself surrounded by motorbikes while she wore an inordinate amount of leather. Jez lacks any particular talent for introspection. An actual look at the Mirror of Erised would shock her. Her deepest desire is to have her loved ones back; she would see her deceased mother and father, her dead brother, and her fallen friends, all standing beside her alive and happy, her arms around a wizard who has been dead for ten years. It is a good thing that Jez will never encounter this particular mirror, as it would be heartbreaking for her to see - and also to realise, perhaps, that she no longer has any aspirations or dreams for her future at all, only regrets for the past.

Dementor
Jez has a whole range of bad memories suitable for draining away her hope, which indeed they have done before without the aid of any Dementors. Among the worst is the memory of the Fall of Hogwarts, where Jez witnessed the deaths of colleagues, friends, and her lover. Although it was incapacitating at the time and for some time afterwards, having dealt with Dementors on a semi-regular basis has given her practice in dealing with these effects. She can cast a strong Patronus to defend herself, and re-bury the memories.

Patronus
Scottish wildcat
Felis sylvestris grampian, the Scottish wildcat, is Jez's Patronus - and her Registered Animagus form. Described variously as intelligent, fearless, resourceful, patient, agile and powerful, they particularly reflect her innate ability to survive and passionate need to be free.

Specialist Wizards Offensively Resisting Darkness

SWORD was founded by a group of Aurors when, ten years ago, the corrupt Ministry made it clear that the Auror Division was finished. They use their training and skills to hunt down dark wizards and creatures, operating on multiple fronts including intelligence and combat. Accepting only those with formal training in fighting the dark arts, agents of SWORD consider themselves to be the elite. While their skills and success are inarguable, less professional and formal groups tend to dislike them; their attitude of superiority means that they do not share information or collaborate with other groups, though they do not interfere with them, either.

Although based in the UK, the nature of their work requires frequent international travel - not all of it legal - and their information network spans many countries. It is said that if a dark wizard farts in Cairo, SWORD will smell it in London.

Elite Assault Strike Team
AKA The Amazon Squad (SWORD), YEAST (people who dislike them)

EAST is the number one combat squad; never containing more than six agents, it is sent on missions likely to contain combat. It was created and led by young ex-Auror Jezebel Bain, who devised specialist training for its individuals, including Muggle survival training and magical arms training. Other combat teams nicknamed them the Amazon Squad in honour of their fierce 5' 11" leader; affectionately, more or less, even when EAST's success began to outstrip theirs. WEST (Wizarding Elite Strike Team), however, have a grudge against the Amazon Squad that dates back to the founding of SWORD, when Jez and the WEST leader had several disputes.

Though everyone in SWORD has a particular squad, a level of autonomy is expected of all its agents, thus at times some will be attached temporarily to other groups, and solo missions are par for the course. As real names are kept largely under wraps, Jez's nom de guerre of (and reputation as) The Amazon precedes her.
