April Jill
Hello. I'm April Jill.
You may think of me and my parents Maxaquarius and Amber Jill as Gypsy Travellers - which for sure we are - but, like many such folk, we are also wizards of magic and the mystical arts.
You may think of me as little more than a kid, but we Jill's are deceptively young in appearance. We have extremely protracted lifespans, by your standards, and our slow ageing process means that where I may only look about twelve I am, in fact, very much older.
Modesty forbids me to say how much older - a girl's prerogative I believe!
We came to this dimension in our caravan to investigate a troubled region known here as Segenhoe Village in the late seventeenth century. There were two powerful forces in conflict here and the darkest of the two proved to be far stronger than my parents had been prepared for. They were unexpectedly blasted back to our own dimension and the caravan destroyed, while I was held in stasis by the other force, preparing in me the means to rest the darker force - in time.
When the task was accomplished and the region laid to rest, I found myself and Lucy Langford - a girl who had been a crucial focus of the force - in the multi dimensional Id construct world of Purple Urth.
We were safe there for only a short while as its fragile ecosystem came under threat from its increasingly insensitive populace.
Lucy and I fought alongside the faeries and bears, against the heavily clothed sky dwellers to halt the process, but to no avail. We only just got away from its terrible destruction in the nick of time.
Lucy and I returned to Earth with a newly acquired affinity for nature's conscience bestowed upon us by Purple Urth's unique properties - and a recognition of a need to continue the fight here, to save Earth itself from the same fate.
All it will take is a few strong potions of tannin, liberal doses of lemony puffs and bourbons and a world wide wave of spiritual enlightenment.
How hard can it be ?
