Ozymandius (Ozzie)



An elf from Aldenmor sent to Earth by the Fairimentals in disguise of a ferret to find three human mages.

Biography
Ozymandius was living as a normal elf on Aldenmor but wanted more out of his every day-to-day life. On a trip to see his cousins in another village, Ozzie ran into the fairy creature, Phelonius, who led him to the Fairyglen where their world's protector's resided. The Fairimentals told the elf that the magic web was being corupted and sent him on a mission to find three human mages on Earth, disguising and transforming him into a ferret so that he may blend in. After getting himself caught in a bear trap, two of these three mages, Emily and Adriane, freed him and took him in as a pet. Though wanting to return home and resume his life as an elf, Ozzie passed down the oportunity to return to his old form twice to stay and mentor the mages as best as he could in the absence of the wizard, Henry Gardner. In this time he formed a strong bond with the Healer Mage, Emily, and even earned his own stone and the ability to control the element of air. After two years of living, teaching, and joining in many adventures with the mages Ozzie was supposedly killed at the gates of Avalon by Emily when she was turned into the Dark Mage. It was later revealed he had not been killed, but instead transformed back into an elf and returned to Aldenmor when all of his magic had been drained. In order to help the mages he insisted to be turned back into a ferret to regain his magic. It was later explained that because Ozzie and his magic could not be corupted he was responsible for the Web and Avalon itself returning back to normal.

Magic and Abilities
Ozzie was given a round, amber like jewel he later named the 'Ferret Stone' after helping the mages defeat the Dark Sorceress in the sixth book. With this stone he gained the power to control the element, air, as well as other abilities. He has been shown to use his stone as an amplifier to boom his voice, working as a good attention grabber, speak with the others telepathically, and can also mimic the roar of a Manticore to scare enemies away. He can levitate himself and other objects, once preventing a ship from crashing at the bottom of a waterfall as well as accidently blowing himself into the branches of trees when he doesn't have a good hold on it. In addition, because he has helped Emily in healing other animals he has gained a small portion of healing magic himself and has also worked as a beacon or solid ground when the others' powers are spiraling out of control.

Because he doesn't have a mage title, and most of the time neither animal nor elf but a mixture of the two, he can't offically bond with anyone. However, though it was intially intended as a joke, he is in fact bonded with himself and also finds later on Phel has been been his Palladin the entire series, allowing him Level Two status.

History
Ozzie was born and grew up in the village of Farthingdale on the Moorgroves of Aldenmor. Both his parents were farmers, as well as his grandparents, so Ozzie took on the job as well. An excellent gardener, he has said to have won largest rutabaga contest at their Crabapple Carnivals three years in a row. He has also mentioned he had a girl elf friend by the name of Esmerelda who used to dance with him at these carnivals that he missed and at the end of the series 'Essie' was turned into a ferret to surprise Ozzie on Earth. Ozzie apperently has a huge family, mentioning different cousins, aunts, and uncles as well as his parents several times throughout the series. His age is unkown and never mentioned at any time in the series but we can guess that he may be an adult elf by the way he talks to Emily about when he was little and playing in the Moorgroves and acts as the Mages' mentor, even helping Emily with her homework on occasion.

Personality
Some downsides to Ozzie's personality are that he is very easily flustered, loud, accident prone, and depending on what the situation is can be a bit of a scaredy cat or overly confident. Ozzie doesn't initially have powers, and when he does obtion some he feels they aren't as strong or helpful as he would like them to be and this frustrates him constantly. He can be very snarky and easily aggitated if he doesn't fully understand something or is being confused. This leads him to go into small fits, usually yelling, kicking someone bigger then himself, or if the vicitim is smaller, such as Tweek, picking them up and shaking them. He concerns over everything, but this also leads him to be very caring and protective over the mages, especially Emily. Ozzie has been known to stand in front of the healer mage in the way of danger, despite his size, weilding either his Ferret Stone or even just a stick if need be. He has a huge heart and is very loyal to the mages, more often then not giving up and putting aside his own personal problems and goals to help them. Ozzie is also an inspirational speaker, often giving pep talks and uplifting speeches to the mages and animals in Ravenswood to keep their spirits up.

As far as hobbies go, Ozzie likes to dance, cook, and garden. He loves food and will eat just about anything. He's also taken up a liking to Earth technology and is usually found in the Ravenswood Mansion library on the computer dealing with emails, food orders, and blogging.
