Where to start? The concept of my character was introduced when I was creating a story long, long ago. I love mages and all kinds of magic RP and fiction, so I wanted a character that was magic-centric. My  basic idea was: Powerful sorceress with a crippling weakness.
When it comes to her wealthy background, I wanted my character to come from a privileged position so it would make sense that she received the best education her family could afford,however, no matter how great her talent, no matter how great her tutorship, she would still be unable to cast magic or show herself off because it could make her kill herself (Not necessarily others.)
And no, by "kill herself" I don't mean "summon a mini cataclysm." I mean, in the best sense of the term, slowly deteriorate her health until she no longer can cast magic without fearing for her life. She hasn't reached that point yet, but the fact this character is so obsessed with magic, seeing it as her main motivation to live, makes the whole story painfully ironic.
