The Seven Covens were a perfect opportunity for previously unknown Wytches to make a name for themselves by forming connections, and one of the most successful instances of this has to be Jennifer Turpin, who used the covens as a springboard to launch her rise to stardom. Not many people know that she got her start in show-business by putting the magic into Frederick Dullcurry's The Wytching Hour, which was only revealed years after its first broadcast to be created using magic to perform the Hollywoodesque special effects. In this way, Ms. Turpin can be thought of as a pioneer of modern special effects in film and television production.

Most fans of the stage and screen began to know and love Turpin when she and Alexandra Lockhart, a performer famously involved in the Doubleday Incident, formed a double act and began performing. From humble origins of small stages and nightclubs, the tragic death of fellow Sphere member and performer Johnson (of Johnson and Clark) opened a vacuum in the world of stage magic that allowed Turpin and Lockhart's act catapult to prominence. Ticket sales from 2018 indicate that at the time, their act Aurora was the most popular stage show in the UK. They are denied the honour of being the longest running performance double act only by the legendary Paulsen and Cherie, as in 2028 Alexandra Lockhart retired from the performance world to start a family, concluding the two's 14 years of touring together with a constantly changing array of dazzling tricks.

Quite how Ms. Turpin found the time to be so prolific elsewhere in her reign as one of the two queens of the stage is baffling, but she managed, becaming involved even more closely in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th series of The Wytching Hour, this time round in front of the camera whilst continuing to illusion her own “special effects”, only stopping due to Dullcurry's decline to continue the series (stating that he'd “rather end on a high note before the show's quality declines”). These performances (her role in the 3rd series winning her a BAFTA for Best Supporting Acrtress to match the program's Best Drama Series) kicked off her successful television and film career, and she took roles in many successful and acclaimed films and television programs.

When Lockhart retired, they were both household names, and Turpin used this newfound freedom to try her hand at writing and directing her own feature film, “Terry”, a quiet, introspective piece that Turpin described in interview as “a very personal film… I needed to make”. Unusually for her work, it was met with a small box office, but was adored by film critics and nominated for 6 BAFTAs and 3 Oscars, winning BAFTAs for Best Production Design and Best British Film, and the Oscar for Best Production Design. To this day, the film, the only one Turpin ever wrote or directed, has a substantial cult following, and theories exist that it is semi-biographical.

Turpin's work on screen continued for many years to come, and in 2037 she was awarded an Order of the British Empire for Services to Entertainment. She did not return to the stage, however, until 2046, when Alexandra Lockhart came out of retirement to do a reunion tour of Aurora. Tickets for all venues were reported to sell out within minutes of going on sale, and attendees were not disappointed - the show reflected Turpin's 30 years of progress and practice. The tour lasted for six months, and afterwards, Lockhart returned to retirement Turpin returned to acting. She would never stop, continuing to appear on television for the rest of her long career.

Jennifer Turpin died on the 5th of March, 2076. This day, the entire nation was saddened for the loss of a true national treasure.
