Overview
Anne Read, aka Captain Seafoam, was once an office lady who was having a midlife crisis. She'd taken time off going on a whirlwind trip of places she'd been when she was younger, ending in a returned to a region of Japan where she attempted to catch up with friends met during an exchange program. There was a car accident on a lonely road. She didn't see what it was, or the girl chasing after. With the girl dead and threats still out there, Anne was chosen as her replacement to protect the world from the terrors of the deep and void. Finding herself, young, possessing a new body and identity, Anne is trying to cope with all that came with; school, a peer group that doesn't know her past, fake-parents, and having to deal with the life of a magical girl. She's generally trying to do what she was afraid to do when she as young originally; party, adventure, and stick her nose where it doesn't belong alongside new hobbies such as card games, and model making. Now her life is a tightrope between runes sorcery and monsters, and trying to make the most of this second chance at life.

Given her ties to the element of water and it often being seen as the source of all life? Anne can heal wounds, broken bone and other forms of injury. This comes at a cost however of intense focus required to do so. There are rare situations that she can attempt such but it taxes her greatly and requires the uses of edge.
NPCs
Polly< Named F-Tier >: Anne's Mascot, Mentor, and loudmouthed tutor in the form of a tropical bird.
Polly appears to be a Parrot of some sort, this is far from the case. He is a magical creature connected to the power that empowers Anne. Polly generally will advise Anne on the supernatural world. From political situations to monsters, and the like. He's also prone to sassing, teasing and otherwise trying to distract Anne from her current situation. He can also act as a messenger as well.
Complications
Hello Fellow Kids: Anne used to be far older, she has trouble with some modern things.
Anne went from being a Forty-something-year-old Office worker, into a 20ish college student. As a result, she does not get this generation even if, in her old life, she was a bit of a nerd (Okay a big one) and might have some of the same interests. She doesn't get many things, the lingo, the social media, the constant upgrade cycle of technology (she rather have a Noika than an Iphone whatever they are at now. So she's out of date, and often will mess up on things that are no brainers for her apparent ages. This will lead to slang going over her head and general confusion about modern life for people that age. It can leave her into very confusing situations.
Not born into Magic: Anne wasn't born with magical powers, this causes it to hinder herself.
Now a full-on sorceress and mahou, Anne has a lot to get used to the supernatural world is a confusing alien and goes against her old perception of the way things are supposed to work. This will often limit what she will do in a given situation because she doesn't understand the full scope of her powers, mostly due to how old she was before gaining said power leading to a somewhat inflexible mindset.
She thinks in the terms as someone would from the viewpoint of the mundane, water flows, it freezes. She does not have that unrestrained way of thinking a proper magic-user might have, she looks at it as a tool, a piece of kit. Not something that is a part of her and should be embraced entirely to get the most out of it. She would be hard-pressed to feel her way through things with her magic.
Young Again: She was too well behaved in her old life. She won't be this time.
Anne has got what many people would sell their souls and the souls of others too dark powers for without some kind of damning catch in the process. She was a good kid and adult did things properly and it was boring she ended up a dead-end office lady in a dead-end job. She's more interested in enjoying this second life and is very impulsive about doing what seems fun to her. She's not going to waste time by being the prim and proper behaved girl this time around. She will mouth off when a more polite person might not. Turn off her mental filter and just say what's on her mind even if it leads to conflict. This also makes her very implusive about the choices she make. She hesitated too much the last time she was young. This time? She won't be doing that, this time. Which will get her into trouble.
Polly: Her mascot causes her problems.
Anne's guardian and guide will drag her into things at the worst of times, to faraway places and never accounts for anything passing for public or personal life for her.
This gets even worse as Polly loves to give colour commentary on Anne, her friends, and their lives. From sassy comments to playing the troublesome parrot. He could easily start a fight with his mouth which Anne would have end up fighting.
