Jannika Oak was born to in a working family in a small town in the middle of nowhere. She had a difficult childhood, full of poverty, violence and abuse. She was homeschooled for most of her education, and learned to use magic early on. At the age of thirteen, she ran away from home, intending to make a new life for herself.
She eventually made her way to the city, and started to learn magic under the tutelage of a powerful old mage. It was during this time that she began to develop an anger and hatred towards the people in authority. She began to make a name for herself as a powerful criminal mage, able to take on even the most powerful forces.
Eventually, Jannika met a young man who would have a profound effect on her life. He was a wealthy nobleman, and he offered her a chance to join his household and use her magic to help him achieve his goals. Jannika accepted, and soon found herself forgotten by the criminal underworld.
She continued to use her magic to help the nobleman achieve his goals, but also began to learn about the softer side of life. She started to fall in love with him, but he never revealed his true identity to her.
One day, however, she discovered that he had been using her to achieve his goals, and she deserted him without a second thought.
Jannika has since moved on, and is now a powerful mage in her own right. She uses her skills to help others, and has never looked back on her past.
She is currently married to a man she loves, and they have a son. Jannika's best friend is a woman named Stella, and they have been through a lot together. Oak's famous quote is "Don't forget your roots, or you'll float away."
Oak is currently travelling to discover her true identity and purpose. Her desire is to find a way to repair the damage that she has caused.
