Susan McAllister, White Witch

Susan McAllister spent her early career believing that chemistry and pharmacology were disciplines rooted entirely in measurable science and reproducible results. She excelled in her studies, earning her doctorate and establishing herself as a respected pharmacist in a quiet suburban community where her gentle demeanor and genuine care for patients made her beloved by all who knew her.

When she finally found him three weeks later, he was no longer the kind, curious boy she had raised alongside their aging mother—he had been turned into something that fed on human blood and despair. With trembling hands and a breaking heart, Susan did what had to be done, using knowledge she'd hastily gathered from ancient texts to end his suffering permanently. The experience shattered her understanding of reality, forcing her to confront the existence of creatures that lurked beyond the veil of ordinary perception. Rather than retreat into grief, Susan channeled her pain into purpose and embarked on a solitary journey across continents to study the paranormal world that had stolen her brother. She discovered that her rigorous scientific mind, combined with an innate sensitivity to magical forces, made her uniquely suited to bridge the gap between chemistry and witchcraft. Over years of careful experimentation and dangerous encounters, Susan developed an arsenal of potions that could neutralize supernatural threats—brews that combined botanical knowledge with arcane principles in ways that defied conventional explanation. She returned to her pharmacy work, maintaining her quiet, professional facade while secretly using her position to gather rare ingredients and help those who crossed her path bearing marks of paranormal affliction. Behind her sad eyes and gentle smile lies a woman hardened by loss yet driven by an unshakeable commitment to prevent others from suffering as she had, wielding her knowledge of
