When Does Her Trauma Start?

The Great Storm Witch Shelby

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. YESSSS!

I posted this in the Prismarina theory-discussion channel on Discord (March 23, 2023):

"" I had the same thought! I'm glad someone had the same idea!

So many lines that WitchCraft Shelby has just said in Episode 5 lines up:

1. "I wonder what SHE will think of me..." Scott has said mentioned a "he" who everyone believes is Jimmy. So it would make sense if Shelby was referring to Katherine.

2. "I've changed so much." Storm Witch Shelby has different hair, different outfit, different magic, & etc.

3. "I can't believe how strong I've gotten. This is everything I've ever wanted." We know that Esmp Shelby doesn't think very highly of herself, and that she wants to be stronger and help people.

4. "I have something to prove." Esmp Shelby has said how she has to prove herself worthy to the Academy so that they don't take her magic.

5. "I did awful in school." We know that Esmp Shelby got bad grades at school.

And finally, why wouldn't she question the existence of another Scott and another Joey? **Because of the rift.** There were 2 FalseSymmetrys on Empires at one time. They looked and acted differently from each other. If there were 2 Falses, why couldn't there be 2 versions of Scott and 2 versions of Joey. ""

That was what I wrote.

Shubble's Esmp S2 finale just came out 2 hours ago. And, after getting killed/cleansed of sculk by Sausage, she got brought back with lightning. She has white hair and the expertise she chose is storms! She even went to Joel for advice! And made up with Katherine.

AHHHHHHH!

I'm just so psyched about this, that all this lore gets perfectly put together.

I don't know what to do with myself now. This has kinda cleared all of my brain-rots since they were all about her.

Just. AHHHHHHHH!!!

I challenge! I've been thinking about this for quite some time, (you just gave me reason to write it all.) While I generally like what you put, I believe wholeheartedly that she would be a sorcerer. (Perhaps even unaware of her internal magic.) Because:

You decide to become a wizard in DND; while Shelby was born, and destined, for magic. That is clearly not the case for the other witches: while WC Joey was born with magic, WC Scott, Lauren, and Prismarina all definitely weren't. (I'm unclear about the others. But the term of "witch" seems to be incredibly loose.) So, Shelby was born with magic, yet still went to a school for witches, and that is all fine and good. HOWEVER, she was a horrible student, making mistakes and etcetera. She is clearly dedicated to the craft, yet she keeps failing. What if she wasn't being taught for her class of magic? And later on, she was able to open a multi-dimensional rift *on accident*. That is someone with substantial raw power. Warlock is out of the question, except when she was possessed by sculk. It gave her power, which is the whole identity of a warlock. But she already had power, she just seemed to have gotten better control over it, seemingly increasing what she already had. ANYWAYS, she also had a vision at one point, if I remember correctly, of the gnomes when she discovered the heart of the Evermoore and the portal there: more of a sorcerer trait. "The fog claims souls and those who go in there are don't come back out", well maybe the fog kept her alive because it sensed her magic. Maybe the sculk couldn't claim her as fast as it claimed Cub because of her internal magic trying to fight it. Or maybe that's why she still had some control and was able to feel the pain of the voices instead of being completely numb like promised. There are probably other things I'm missing... Oh well.

So, based on the information I gathered and remember, I'd say that Great Witch Shelby is a sorcerer, behaving as if she is a wizard.

Making Empires Cast into DND5e Characters

Great Witch Shelby of the Evermore

At Level Three

Race: Human

Language: Gnomish (for nostalgia)

Class: School of Transmutation

Skills: Investigation, Medicine

I figured the witches were more of a guild and it fits more with her character instead of something like sage

I know I made this post at the end of season 9, but here it is, right before a new beginning: all the new hermitcraft fans from the past two years who haven’t been around for season start time: WELCOME! there’s very little hermitcraft time that’s better! welcome to episode one shenanigans when none of them are geared up and none of them remember what it’s like to be earlygame! welcome to “are you SURE that’s a STARTER base?????”! welcome to “the hermits are all on one big call and ready to make it each other’s problem”! welcome to everyone interacting in those early days before they’re all self-sufficient, dealing with each other! welcome to the lucrative market of being the one guy making food! welcome to early spawn points, to spawn builds, to goofy shenanigans, to iron tools and the inevitable terrible nether spawn, welcome welcome welcome to EARLYGAME HERMITCRAFT!!!!!

THANK YOU for everything empiressmp!!!

this was supposed to be finished for the 2nd empires anniversary but here we are, half a year later lol

here's some close ups :) just so tumblr doesn't completely destroy the quality

EVIL WOMEN !! <33333

Very, very traumatized, ever heard of "Danganronpa: Kirigiri" ?

I'd like to purchase some therapy for her.

Fun fact: When she was younger, she had two braids, one on each side.

she was so real for that tiny ass braid

Something about this feels familiar...

(I drew this a while ago when witch shelby first met s1 corrupted sausage, I realize I'm late LOL)

[ID: 2 traditional empires smp drawings. The first is of shrub, in the forest around the undergrove, looking around nervously and reaching for a knife on her belt, she says "hello...?" With her back to a tree, which xornoth peeks out from behind. The second image mirrors the first, with witch shelby in the evermoore, holding her wand, and demon Sausage peeking out from behind a tree. End ID.]
