Personal Style: Arya always enjoyed the comfort of her Apprentice robes, finding that their vibrant emerald color brought out the green in her eyes. However, she can't say she dislikes the purple ExtraOrdinary wizard robes, though she prefers to wear a tunic still. During the summer, Arya tends to dress in a purple tunic embroidered with Magykal symbols, partnered on occasion with a purple ExtraOrdinary wizard headband. Yet when the chill sets in, she is glad for the comfort of her deep purple robes, even adding in a fur lining to keep herself warm.

Brave * Stubborn * Intelligent * Impatient * Curious * Lonely

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Dating Cuyler Eysteinsson Single
Personality: From an early age, Arya has devoured any book that she could get her hands on. She absorbed information and was able to find connections that her peers were clueless to. As she grew older, her curiosity was hardly sated and she continued to learn as much as she possibly could. Where there were no answers to be found, Arya created her own understanding, determined to increase her knowledge and the Castle's knowledge of Magyk. Her intense drive has brought her much success.

However, she is by no means perfect. Arya has a lonely spirit to her, having lost one father to alcoholism and another to travel. She isn't the sort to make a lot of friends, yet she tells herself that she prefers it this way. Deep down, of course, that isn't true. She's simply too stubborn to admit it - and while her resolve helps her in some situations, it is her undoing in others. Her impatience can sometimes come off as rudeness and was what caused the accident that scarred her hand extensively.

Your Path: Arya had wanted to do Magyk for as long as she could ever remember. Her mother was far more supportive of her ambitions than her father, as he was agreed to be a failed Sub-Wizard, and she was enrolled at the Purple School in the Ramblings. Most children in Magykal families were educated there, and after exposure to enough basic Magyk, Arya's eyes turned from a pale blue to a vibrant green.

She was just another hopeful at the age of eight, attending a banquet with her father at the Wizard Tower. Her mother had given her a variety of Charms as birthday presents, including a Chocolate Charm. She wasn't the only hopeful there, with all the Wizards bringing their children along. While the adults were talking, a fight broke out between two of the older hopefuls, resulting in one of them pulling a knife. The adults hadn't noticed just yet, but Arya quickly said : "Take me, shake me, and I shall make thee Quetzalcoatl's Tchocolatl." The knife turned to chocolate, effectively breaking up the fight, and her bravery caught the attention of the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. He offered her the ExtraOrdinary Apprenticeship and set her on her path.

General History: Arya was born to a Senior Alchemie Apprentice and a Sub-Wizard, Selesia and Marcus Rincewind. Her mother was always rather busy learning her craft and helping the other apprentices, while her father was often being shooed out of the way by other Wizards. Ironically, her mother was generally the one who Arya spent the most time with and adored, as her father tended to spend his days off playing Counter-Foot tournaments.

She adored Magyk and learned the basics at the Purple School in the Ramblings, walking from her little home on Alchemie Way. She was seven years old when she learned enough for her eyes to turn green, and at home, her mother would teach her the basics of Alchemie. Wizards and Alchemists didn't always get along, despite improving relations over the last few centuries, but Selesia wanted to ensure that her child could use the two in harmony.

At age eight, Arya left her home on Alchemie Way behind and began her apprenticeship with the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. It was an honor for her to be chosen and she couldn't have been more thrilled. It was no secret that the ExtraOrdinary Wizard knew the best and most advanced Magyk, more than most Ordinary Wizards would ever dream of.

Blaise Rowland, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard at the time, was like a father to Arya. They grew incredibly close throughout the years, as he taught her everything he knew about Magyk. They spent days up in the Pyramid Library, debating and discussing theories with one another. And while all Apprentices were guaranteed one month of vacation a year to visit their families, Rowland often came by the Rincewind household for dinner during that month. He was practically a member of the family, even attempting to encourage Arya's father to try harder in order to become an Ordinary Wizard.

It was when Arya was promoted to Senior Apprentice that her father left the Castle. There were rumors that he had run off with a trader and gone to the Lands of Long Nights. Other rumors said that the man had gone Darke and headed for the Badlands. Those rumors ceased when he was found dead at the Port, having died from alcohol poisoning. Arya's mother, an Alchemist in her own right, threw herself into her work, taking on another Apprentice. And despite not being very close with her father, it was hard on Arya as well. Studying Magyk and talks with Rowland were what got her through it.

She became the latest ExtraOrdinary Wizard when she turned twenty. Her mentor had decided he had had enough with being cooped up in a tower all day, wanting to travel the world before he died. He was, at that point, rather old. Arya still writes letters to him, but she is extraordinarily busy, as all ExtraOrdinary Wizards are.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:

Arya was indifferent when it came to Queen Meliscente. Like so many members of the Royal Family, Queen Meliscente thought that Magyk was weird and dangerous, unless it suited her. No matter how much Arya or Rowland tried to persuade her otherwise, the Queen didn't budge in her beliefs. Arya gave up on the idea that she would ever work with a queen who understood Magyk and would treat it with respect by the time she was a Senior Apprentice.

But that doesn't change Arya's belief that Queen Meliscente was murdered. While the attending physician claimed it was a mere illness, Arya felt the very faint aura of Darke Magyk when she saw the Queen's body. With a Witch Princess about to be crowned, it's enough to make Arya more than suspicious. It is her duty to Queen Meliscente to figure out what caused her death - especially so if Princess Valda, ultimately, had something to do with it.

Name: Nera Hawthorn
Darke Name: Nerse
Age: 24
Birthday: December 28th
Birthplace: Servants Quarters - the Palace

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 124 pounds
Build: Toned; Well Defined
Eyes: Bright blue with flecks of black
Hair: Auburn
Skin Tone: Sun-Kissed
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Faint scars in the hairline, small scar on left ankle
Personal Style: Nera's ideal style is well suited for hotter climates. She loves to wear two piece dresses and light boots. It's a practical and fashionable choice, as far as she's concern. The lightness of it was ideal during her travels, keeping her from melting under the beating sun, and blue always was her color. It matched her eyes. Yet at Port, it's too cold to simply go without a cloak. She's come up with a mild compromise, wearing her thick witch's cloak on top of her lighter clothing. There's no reason why she can't be comfortable and stylish at the same time.

---

Determined * Spiteful * Ambitious * Opinionated * Crafty * Judgmental

Sexuality: Sapiosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Nera is a bit of a two-faced individual. If she wants to, she can appear to be kind and sweet - the perfect friend, ally, companion, lover, and so forth. This deception comes easily to her, as she definitely had a conniving and scheming side to her. She would rather settle a conflict before it begins than allow it to come to blows. Be careful around her, as while she may seem to be giving you honey, it could very well be laced with poison.

Yet she is not a fundamentally bad person - just simply a little wicked. Yet she's a member of the Port Witch Coven - she's a bit tame in comparison to some of the other witches. While she doesn't always speak her mind without prompting, she makes judgments about others and various situations quickly. She won't hold back if asked about her opinions as well. And curiously, despite everything she has experienced in life, she still has a bit of an idealistic attitude. She still believes in her principles and her ideas, despite the complications that society may introduce to them.

Your Path: Ever since she was a little girl, Nera had dreamt of Magyk. Her mother had been an Ordinary Wizard, the distant descendant of an ExtraOrdinary Apprentice who never returned from her Queste. Nera never knew her mother - yet she felt that she knew her through their shared love of Magyk. The small Charms she attempted as a child were how she would feel close to her, even though her mother had died the way she was born.

She had always been destined for Magyk. Even though she left the Castle and never studied in the Wizards' Tower, she still studied the subject she adored. It was her lifestyle and with her opinions on it, she easily became a witch. Only witches appreciated Magyk for what it truly was, rather than attempt to constrain it to preconceived and stuffy notions.

General History: Nera was the child of a Castle servant who worked in the Palace for Queen Meliscente. When she was ten years old, she was adored by the Queen, as Nera didn't have a mother and Meliscente had lost her child, her first born daughter to the Wendron Witch Coven. The Queen promised Nera that she could have anything she ever wanted, even arranging for Nera to have private tutors in the Palace. And when Nera showed a keen interest in Magyk, the Queen arranged a meeting for Nera with Rowland, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. His previous apprentice had left for the Eastern SnowPlains and he was seeking a new one. At eleven years old, she was the proper age.

Yet Rowland picked Arya Rincewind to be his apprentice, the daughter of quite possibly the worst Sub-Wizard the Castle had ever known. This was when the trouble began for Nera. Her father had been promoted to be a member of the Palace Guard and he had been dispatched into the Forest, in order to try to find Princess Valda. He was killed - whether by Wendron Witches or a wolverine, no one knows. And to make matters worse, Queen Meliscente grew distant, unable to find the time for Nera as she was busy caring for her other children.

Needless to say, Nera left the Castle. She spent years in the Badlands learning Magyk, mourning the loss of her father and attempting to find her place in the world. Her emotions fueled her Magyk, allowing her to accomplish great things. And once she had learned all she could from her master there, she left the Badlands and began to travel. There was so much Magyk in the world and she became obsessed with the idea of pure Magyk, realizing how odd it was to think of things in terms of Darke and Lyte, good and evil. Magyk is all about balance between the two. She wanted Magyk without limits, Magyk without restraints. She appreciated its beauty and the beauty of Magyk helped to heal her conflicted heart.

Eventually, she felt drawn to return to her home country, joining the Port Witch Coven. There was no question of her joining the Wendron Witches. They restricted themselves to only Lyte Magyk and it was possible that their Witch Mother had killed her father. And while the Port Witch Coven has a bad rap, Nera isn't as polarized as some of its members. In fact, they're now the closest thing she's had to family in a long time, able to understand her unique viewpoints on the world. But even they too can be closed minded, preferring Darke Magyk rather than using Magyk in harmony.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Nera felt conflicted to say the least when she heard the Queen was murdered. She had been angry with the Queen after her father died, but she had learned to get of that anger. Queen Meliscente had her actual children to care for at the time, whereas Nera was just the daughter of a servant. She mourned the death of the Queen quietly, knowing that she had lost someone akin to a mother for her, a relationship that no one else knew about. She never mentioned it to anyone and Princess Luna and her brother Myrus were too young to remember Nera. She can't say exactly why she's certain the Queen is murdered, as she hasn’t seen the Queen’s body. All she knows are the rumors that are flying around the Port about what had happened. Queen Meliscente certainly wouldn’t have been the first person the Wendron Witches murdered, either. With the Queen dead, the Wendron Witch Coven is ready to take the throne.

The idea of comfort as well adventure affects her choice of clothing. Though because of her royal position, she has taken to wearing a red cloak to go along with the dress, and has a gold circlet on her head.

Energetic * Eccentric * Determined * Aggressive * Adventurous * Impatient

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:
Valda was not raised to really be royalty. A lot of what she says and does can only be described as eccentric by those around her. She doesn't care what others think of her, having not grown up in the castle. The princess is very energetic, constantly running around and having bundles of energy. Though she isn't the best when it comes to these things, she is determined, and trying to find out where she truly belongs in the world.

She didn't really grow up around other people, causing her to have an aggressive streak that no one would want to be caught in the path of. Her aggression can cause problems with her interactions, but she tends to try to keep it down for the sake of everyone else. She also is adventurous, having spent most of her life in the forest, and not with a lot of other people. Sometimes Valda tries to get out of the castle to explore because of this. The problem is, because of her history, she isn't the best at keeping her head and being patient. Her impatience can cause problems, making her not the best person to be kept waiting.

Your Path:
Valda didn't have a choice of what her path was. She was born a Princess, but was raised a Witch. Her life was practically planned out for her, especially after she had been found. There was no choice for her, since she could not change who she was. Now, she was being put on the throne, and learning everything anew after growing up with the Wendron Witches.

General History:
Valda had been taken from her home when she was very young. At two years old, she was CradleSnatched by the Wendron Witches, and she hardly remembered her family. They kept everything about her past a secret from her, and did their best to keep her hidden, in hopes they could prevent someone from recognizing her. The witches and the forest were all she knew as a child, and for most of her life.

She learned the ways of the witches. They taught her skills relating to their way of life, and other things she needed to know in order to live in the Forest. Not once, did anyone mention who she was, and she never asked. They were her life as far as she was concerned. Valda as a child always asked them why her eyes weren't blue like the rest, and were purple instead. No one would answer her, and eventually she stopped asking. Little flecks of blue started to appear in her eyes when she was 12 years old, and it made her happy, thinking that she might be able to blend in with the rest of the coven better.

It wasn't until she was 16 years old that she learned the truth of who she was. A group of wizards and guards showed up one day from the Castle. Her eyes were a dead giveaway to them, but she didn't really know the significance until they took her from the witches in the Forest, back to the Castle. That, was when she learned who she was, that she was the first born daughter of Queen Meliscente. Apparently she also had siblings too, a true family that she hadn't known existed. Her life was flipped around as she went from a Witch to the Crown Princess in a matter of days. All of it was strange and new to her, for she didn't remember living in the Castle at all, but she was going to try at least. There definitely were a lot of rules, and the lifestyle was very different than that of the Wendron Witches. She had no idea what she was going to do with her life now, but she guessed she'd just have to roll with it to see what would happen.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:
Valda hadn't really known her mother too well. She had gotten to become better acquainted with the woman in the month before her death. Queen Meliscente seemed like a kind woman, and Valda wished that she had had more time with her mother, their time together was far too short. Valda believed that it had been an illness that had taken her mother's life, since that is what she had been told. She had no reason to believe that anyone would want to kill her.

When he goes to the Small Wet Country for the Trader’s Market he almost always ends up in several fights now.
Cuyler is calculating. He doesn’t do anything without thinking it through, weighing all the options and always makes sure he has a backup and a get away option. If it involves something of his family's tragedy though, you can guarantee Cuyler will follow his heart before his head. But he isn’t always so quiet. He enjoys drink as much as the next male and will charm his way into anything if he sees an opening. With a smile he inherited from his mother and the whimsical look he gets in his eye, you can always bet he is up to something.
Habits: Picks underneath fingernails with his knife; His shirt sleeves have to be folded four times on each side and he generally fixes these twice a day. Every morning he checks that he is still wearing his necklace and when he is thinking about his neck move or before going on a hunt he can be found constantly touching the place where the ring lies.

Your Path: His father was a carpenter by trade and therefore was raised into the craft. The skill came naturally to Cuyler and at a young age he was often found at his father’s heel with a knife and chunk of wood trying to carve designs; hence the many scars on his hands. Hunting is a skill all Northern Traders must be accustomed to in order to survive the long journeys and keep their families alive.

General History: Son to Eystein, a carpenter by trade and Hilda an exceptional homemaker, cloth weaver and star reader. When Cuyler was born to Eystein, his fate was set and he was molded to take over his father’s craft. Lucky for both of them, Cuyler had a raw talent for it. While Cuyler enjoyed his father’s craft immensely he was also found begging his mother for tales of the stars and stayed up most nights with his mother to learn the positions of the stars and what each start meant in relation to its position. Four years later Cuyler was no longer the baby of the family and he welcomed his baby sister Brenna, with open arms and a few short tempered looks. Life continued on and Cuyler became more involved with his father’s work, going over to his first Trader’s Market when he was six and brought back sweets for his sister. They were inseparable most days and Cuyler was her fierce protector.
When Cuyler was fourteen and Brenna only ten, tragedy struck. Their village in the Land of Long Nights was attacked. Earlier that day Cuyler and Brenna had a rare fight, where Brenna ended up storming off and Cuyler went back to his work. Upon the attack Cuyler was in a panic, he hadn’t seen Brenna in hours. Despite Cuyler’s protest’s, Eystein valliantly went out to find his daughter, leaving Cuyler to care for his mother. The fighting drew closer to their hideout and Cuyler decided the best way to protect was to fight. Cuyler would soon realize that his rash thinking would be a mistake. Death was all over the village and in the distance he heard a high pitch scream which could only be that of his sister’s. With his distraction he was knocked unconscious. His mother was then raped and taken by the raiders, never to be seen again. When Cuyler came to, blood soaked the ground around him and no one was left alive. Cuyler wandered the battlefield until he came to two bodies that looked to familiar for comfort. For a day Cuyler knelt at the feet of his father and sister, praying and asking for forgiveness. He made a vow then to find the raiders who did this, who wielded strength and Magyk no single man should have. Cuyler believe Magyk should have its limitations. He rose then after to formulate a plan and out of the shadows came a dog, local to the Land of Long Nights. Cuyler scowled at the gangly thing and ordered it to return to the forest but it never left. That night Cuyler would see the white dog transform into a black wolf with height close to his own. This night transformer became Cuyler’s companion whom he named Thia, after a constellation.
Along his journey's to find these people he heard many stories, including more on witchcraft and what else was in this world. He had seen many things at The Port and Trader’s Markets but when they returned home to the Land of Long Nights he seemed to forget these things. From then on he believed that witchcraft had had a hand in his family’s death and he would find the coven who gifted these men and end them all. This in turn led him to leaving the Land of Long Nights and journey around the world to discover more about this Magyk he does not trust.
His life hasn’t all been hell bent on vengeance however and Cuyler is still heavily involved in his family’s craft and trades all over the country to make his living and bring some semblance of normalcy to his life.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Not much is know about the Queen for Cuyler. Being across the sea, the Northern Traders pretty well fend for themselves, generally only going to the Small Wet Country to trade at the yearly Traders Market. It was a tragedy nonetheless and Cuyler wouldn’t be surprised if the witches were behind it all. The crown princess is a witch now after all.

Cunning * Ruthless * Diligent * Heartless * Wise * Self-Centered

Often luring his quarry into private situations with friendly words then driving a dagger into their throat.

But he wasn't always this way. He once was kind. Wanting nothing but to be the ExtraOrdinary Wizard himself. A dream that was dashed against the stones by his mentor.

Your Path: Rhys doesn't see that he chose this path for himself. To him? He was forced here by cruel fate and a man's cutting tongue. He couldn't remain in the tower. Being the 'wizard whore's son' as he mentor put it before his death. Though he doesn't regret this path, he sees it as his right now to do as he will. And hell to anyone who gets in his way.

General History: Rhys never knew his father. For all he knew his life started life poor. Destitute. For such a person, who had the potential of magyk, could no position be better than a Hopeful? So after living lean, learning the basics of stealing to help his mother, Rhys left that behind to become a hopeful. By then he was versed in pickpocketing, rooftop running, knife fighting and such skills. It was shortly after he became a Hopeful his mentor- Ordinary Wizard Erik Halaway- took him on as a apprentice. Appreciating the young lad's cleverness and ruthlessness. Though back then, his ruthlessness was more on himself than others. Something his mentor- a wizened and crotchy old bastard- tossed more fuel on. Knowing his apprentice dreamed of becoming the ExtraOrdinary Wizard and where he came from- for Rhys had been far more trusting and fully honest with his mentor- Erik taunted the boy. Declaring the son of a whore would never make it to become a ExtraOrdinary Wizard. Constantly making cutting remarks about his failures, and the praise Rhys did get grew less and less as he grew close to becoming a Ordinary Wizard. It did not help that Rhys was trying to jump his apprenticeship to Blaise Rowland

He he did become a Ordinary Wizard, Rhys truely hated his mentor. And many others, seeing slights everywhere. His mother's death did not help matters. She left him nothing, never mind she had nothing left to give. This was where the scale was tipped. During a experiment with his former mentor, Erik said the wrong thing. Something Rhys goes out of his way to not remember, and to try to forget. Rhys whirled in fury and killed the man with a brutal blow. His knife silencing the man's voice and ending his life slowly. Rhys then staged a lab accident to explain the death of the mentor. As well as his own. Taking things that would normally be destroyed for his own reasons, and fled to the city.

Since there he took up his childhood function of a thief and killer. Finding the latter far too easy which unnerved him at first, but he later accepted. He became a rakishly handsome man. Ruthless in all he did. Though the first few years of his newly shaped life were hard, but Rhys gritted his teeth and strove through it. He paid hired men to teach him the sword and others for other skills. Doing whatever he had to in order to survive. Several times and still even now, he feigned love for a woman in order to use her house as his own. Then left with her life, her purse, or her heart depending on if he saw it as needful. Though he does own a house under a false name, and rents the lower rooms of the storefront to a fence. Keeping the upper-rooms for himself.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Rhys Asher sees it as a annoyance. It's stirred up trouble. He does not like this new Queen to come as she is a magyk user, but he doesn't think she did it. For rare is a child that turns on her mother. Though he does question if she did do it from time to time, and his hatred has opened the door to doubt. For he does believe the Queen was killed by Darke Magyk. He just seems annoyed it wasn't him.

Your Path: Fleur was born and raised with the Witch's coven. Her mother didn't detail too much about where she came from, but Fleur didn't mind. The coven itself was her home and she was treated fairly by the others. When she eventually stepped up to take over leadership after her mother was killed, she didn't hesitate. She knew it was where she was needed the most and new she could make big changes being a part of it.

General History: Fleur was born in the Port Witch's Coven and it has been a part of her life from her first breath and it will be to her last. Her mother, the former leader of the coven, didn't tell Fleur about how she ended up pregnant or who her father was. Regardless, Fleur looked up to her mother as she was a capable leader, protecting her coven from harm.

All that would change in a raid against the Port Witch's Coven. It was never made clear who initiated the attack, but Fleur is pretty certain it was the royal family's doing. The attack left a number of their members dead, including her mother. Her mother died protecting her coven and her daughter. With the legacy passed on, Fleur was fairly young when she was initated to take on the burden of leadership.

She went at it with gusto. What better way to vanquish your enemies than to have an army at your disposal? Hoping to take a lesson from her mother, Fleur opted to be the type of leader that her flock could come to if they needed her. She would make her enemies pay dearly and had the plans and means to do so. Only time would tell if her plans would come to fruition.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: In Fleur's mind, the Queen bit off more than she could chew. She wouldn't be surprised if the Queen was murdered. She's somewhat pissed it wasn't by her own hand, but what can you do? Valda being a witch adds fuel to the fire it was a witch's doing and that pleases Fleur to no end. Let them think that. She would prove to them all soon what a witch can truly do.

Your Path: Luna was born into the royal family, she didn't have any other real choice and being the second in line for the crown. Luna was born and raised to be a royal, going to formal gatherings and meetings learning the ways of the court as well. She is very close to members of her family and loyal to them, doing what she can to learn in case the event that Valda would die Luna would be the next in line for the throne. Learning all the etiquette to be as lady like and to represent the royal family as best as she can, she does enjoy going to any kind of formal events in or around the castle.

General History: Luna is the second oldest in the royal family just a year younger then her sister Valda, when her sister was CradleSnatched Luna was to young to even remember the night it happened. As she got older Luna would ask about her sister, and what happened to her, but when she didn't get an answer she would get upset but eventually she dropped the subject all together. As she got older Luna would learn the ways of court etiquette. Luna would always spend her time learning as much as she could, and in her spare time Luna would always spend her evenings looking out at the night sky.

Luna growing up had a few friends that she would get close to and enjoy whatever time she could with them along with her younger brother Myrus. Then one day Luna heard that they had found her sister after so many years of not seeing her Luna was both excited as well as a little bit jealous over her. Since she wouldn't be the next one in line anymore, but she was happy to know that she actually had a sister, she'd spend some of her time to try and get to know Valda more after that.

Then her mother Queen Meliscente started to fall deathly ill, Luna would spend as much time as she could to be with her mother and didn't leave her side that much. When she did end up passing Luna did take it rather hard as well, and eventually she passed Luna still had her brother as well as her sister. Luna has since then after their mother's passing has been mostly doing whatever she did that would make her happy and take her mind off of it.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Luna thinks that it was most likely a sickness that ended up killing the queen her mother. But Luna doesn't have a clue if it was actually murder or not, Luna was very close to Meliscente as well, though a part of her does really suspect that it was the witches involved. But she doesn't think that Valda was the one who did it, she doesn't trust witches at all, but she truly doesn't know who or what caused her to become sick and intends on trying to find out whether or not it was murder or not.

Age: 30
Birthday: December 21 (Winter solstice)
Birthplace: Port Witch Coven House
Residence: Port Witch Coven House
Gender: Male
Education: Magykal instruction by the Port Witch Coven
Position: Warlock in the Port Witch Coven

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Build: Athletic
Eyes: Dark blue with flecks of black, deep set, hooded
Hair: Medium length, straight, dark nearly black brunette; five o'clock shadow
Skin Tone: Light
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:

• Runic Tattoos
  
  • Ansuz - Left side of the back of the head just below the hairline
  • Eihwaz - Inside of right bicep
  • Isa - Down the length of the spine
  • Laguz - Below left pectoral
  • Thurisaz - Inside of left wrist

• Scars
  
  • Small scar from a stab wound on the lower right quadrant of his abdomen
  • Small scar along his hairline on the right side of his head
  • Various other faint scars along his arms and legs

Personal Style:
One could say Malekith's personal style is reminiscent of his dark soul yet masked by a certain element of grandeur. He prefers to wear darker colors like grays, browns, and burgundy, but he is most particularly fond of the color black. The thing about wearing such a color, or lack thereof, is that one can stand out in a sea of bright colors, and when night falls, one can meld into the shadows. Perhaps this is why he wears it, if you so desired an explanation. Malekith has another particular taste in attire that quite possibly sets him a part from others. The man's "fabric" of choice is leather. He can often be seen wearing a leather jacket or gambeson that has all kinds of intricate engravings, rivets, straps, and the like. It's one part fashionable and one part practical, serving as decent enough leather armor. Under this he wears a basic black tunic and more often than not pairs it with black or brown trousers that have small straps down the sides. Finally, he pairs all this with sturdy tall leather boots, in the color black, of course. See example of outfit.

Calm * Psychopathic * Charismatic * Manipulative * Meticulous * Morbid

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single

Personality:
Malekith's personality can be described as being like two sides of the same coin. On the surface, he comes across as quite the amiable fellow, albeit a bit of a charmer. Some would even go as far as to call him a gentleman. He is outgoing and tries to leave a good impression wherever he goes. He is very perceptive in regards to people's thoughts and feelings, and ultimately, he knows what makes people tick. This attention to detail is one of his most endearing qualities, allowing him to readily make friends and to put people at ease. He is also a calm, cool, and collected individual, meaning it's hard to get a rise out of him. He's an all round standup guy, or so he leads everyone to believe.

There just below the surface is a much more twisted individual. Malekith feels no empathy for others. In fact, he barely feels emotion at all. Yet, he is a talented actor, hence how he can so easily hide his true nature behind a façade of normality. He has mastered the art of mimicking the emotions he is unable to truly feel himself. To make matters worse, his moral compass is nonexistent. He instead has an utter disregard for human life coupled with a morbid curiosity. He ultimately uses his skills for his own selfish gain. In the end, he finds enjoyment in manipulating people and gets a high from inflicting pain upon others.

Habits:

• Mimicking emotions he doesn't feel
• Looking for the perfect victim
• Coming up with contingency plans

Hobbies:

• People watching

Fears:

• Ghosts of his victims
• Insane asylums
• Creepy children

Likes:

• Darke Magyk
• The color black
• Leather
• Dark nights
• The smell of blood
• Torture

Dislikes:

• Lyte Magyk
• Authority
• Those he deems as beneath him
• Being ignored
• Royals
• Hero types

Your Path:
He was more or less born into it, his mother a witch devoted to the Port Witch Coven and his father a foreigner of noble heritage. In a way he has his foot dipped in two different worlds, but the nefarious ways of the coven has always been his true calling. While the outside world is wholeheartedly against embracing the darknesse of one's soul, the coven accepts you for who you truly are. This is home. This is his family. (not that either of those truly meant anything to him) Nevertheless, this is where he is meant to be. With the magykal talent flowing through his veins and with the power of darke magyk on his side, there is nothing he cannot accomplish. Everyone be damned.

General History:
Malekith was born to Marquessa, a witch devout to the Port Witch Coven, and Sebastian, a foreigner of noble heritage. It was a marriage of expedience, or at least it was considered to be so on Marquessa's part. She seduced the foreign nobleman, really, and she has kept him wrapped around her finger ever since, as only a witch truly could. She wanted the title, the money, the power. Being married to a foreigner, and a nobleman at that, gave her connections that not every witch could boast of having. These connections would prove useful to Malekith, providing him with ample opportunities to broaden his knowledge and skillsets beyond just the magykal instruction of the Port Witch Coven. It allowed him to make a name for himself, to meld within society in order to further the coven's nefarious plans. Perhaps though the world bit off more than it could chew with Malekith.

Malekith bounced between parents. His father was still needed back in his own country, while his mother was adamantly against leaving Small Wet Country Across the Sea but loathe to let her husband's connections slip from her grasp. That meant that Malekith didn't often spend time with both parents in the same room, let alone in the same country. During his younger years, he lived with his mother, only really seeing his father when he travelled to The Port for business. It was noticeable from a relatively young age that something was off about Malekith. Most people couldn't quite pinpoint what it was exactly, and as he learned the ways of the world, he also learned how to hide the darknesse within him that much better. The warning signs were certainly there. The lack of remorse after making another kid cry. Finding objects in the house that they didn't own. Never taking responsibility for his actions. Being unmoved by threats of punishment. Pets mysteriously disappearing just to be found days later bloody, battered, and in pieces.

At the ripe age of 5, Malekith was caught by his mother hovered over the bloodied body of their beloved family cat with a blood covered hammer in his similarly blood covered little hands. That's when his true nature, the nature of psychopath, was first discovered. While most parents would probably scream in utter horror and send their kid off to the nearest insane asylum for some much needed help, Marquessa simply chided her son for his actions and cleaned up his mess like it wasn't much of a big deal. As long as he was discreet about it and did not tell his father, she honestly didn't seem to really care much about what he did. Malekith's torture of fluffy pets and cute woodland creatures would continue before he eventually graduated to a much better prey: humans. At the age of 12, he had killed his first person with the aid of his honed skills in darke magyk, and it seemed his mother couldn't be prouder. Over the years, Malekith grew to be quite the proficient warlock and an even better killer and manipulator.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:
Does Malekith believe that Queen Meliscente was murdered? Does it matter? She's dead. Death is final, and nothing is going to change that. As far as he is concerned, everyone needs to stop whining about it and just move on already. People live, and people die. Sometimes it's on their own terms, and sometimes it's on the terms of another. That's just the way of life. Learn to deal with it, or just go crawl in your hole of unrelenting emotions and die. Meanwhile, he'll be over here unperturbed by the "tragedy" that befell the queen and instead will be plotting someone else's demise.

Darke Name: Nikta
Age: 15 (barely)
Birthday: December 11th
Birthplace: The Ramblings
Residence: Wizard Tower - 20th and 21st Floors
Gender: Male
Culture: Small Wet Country
Education: Nothing formal

Weight: 138lbs, 9 st. 12 lb.
Build: Wiry, developing
Eyes: Bright Green
Hair: Brunette, straight, kept very short.
Skin Tone: Tanned
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Scar running down the front of his right calf from when he fell off a roof when he was 10
Personal Style: Up until very recently, Atkin wore very little simply due to the material circumstances he and his family bore. On his torso he wore a dull off-white wool chemise (and a tan tunic during colder months) with brown, full leg hose with a pair of worn, barely intact but surprisingly sturdy boots. He didn't really mind the clothes. They were comfortable for the most part and kept him warm and less wet than if he were naked. However, since becoming the ExtraOrdinary Wizard apprentice, he's in a green robe that just doesn't feel right. Unlike his normal clothes which were hand-me-downs from who knows how long ago, these new clothes were actually meant for him to wear. He likes how they look though.

---

---

Kind * Rule-Breaker * Moral * Curious * Determined * Stubborn

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Atkin was born and raised on the streets, and his personality reflects that. He speaks roughly, is skeptical of strangers, and doesn't care much for pomp and circumstance or much of what goes on in the more 'civilized' parts of the city. However, what growing up in the Ramblings hasn't done to him is turn him into a thug or a beggar. The lad is a deeply compassionate individual who wants to see his friends and family done right in the world and will fight tooth and nail to protect what he can.

Despite his underprivileged upbringing, Atkin has a nearly unquenchable curiosity in just about anything. He'll do or try anything once if only to experience it. And to back this up, he also possesses a powerful work ethic that allows him to see through these curiosities to the end, usually around the point where investigating backfires on him.
Habits: Spitting and checking his nails
Hobbies: Wandering/Exploring
Fears:

• Ghosts
• His Mother's Angry Face
• Centipedes

Likes:

• Arya Rincewind
• Learning new things
• Sunny Days

Your Path: If you had asked him at the beginning of the year where he would be at the end of it, his answer would have been nowhere close to where he actually ended up. A few months back he was wandering around the city and came across the Wizard Tower. He'd managed to get in a couple times before, but he never managed to get in far before some Sub-Wizard or Ordinary Wizard would find him and kick him out. However, this time he managed to sneak in with a crowd of Wizards without them noticing, and took the weird, magykal staircase up higher than he'd been before.

As he was poking around the tower, he turned a corner and bumped into Arya Rincewind. After a moment of surprise from both, Atkin tried to make a run for it, only to be frozen almost immediately by the ExtraOrdinary wizard's stopping Charm. After a brief interrogation where she learned his name, that he didn't actually belong to any wizard and that he was only there to sate his own curiosity, she offered to take him up as her apprentice. Atkin never had any great love of Magyk or interest to learn it, but he could tell a once in a lifetime opportunity when he saw it, and becoming a Wizard seemed like a far better choice than the other employment options available to him. All it took after that was convincing his family (it didn't take much), and sneaking his way back into the tower again the next day and tracking down Arya without getting caught, only to find out afterwards that he could have just knocked.

General History: The Bowman family is a slightly renowned family line within the Ramblings. Most of the members are generally competent archers at the very least. It's not uncommon for a Bowman to join the guard and be among the best shots among the force. There appears to be a bit of inborn aptitude for the skill, but at this point, every child in the family to be trained to shoot from a young age. They've never been so notable as to raise above their commoner status or gain any real prestige, but it's notable to the point of archery becoming their surname.

Atkin was the fourth of five children (the others being Bryon, Pamela, Ida and Gordon from oldest to youngest. Gordy being Atkin's only younger sibling) borne from the coupling of Adam Bowman, one of the city guard and Edythe Langley, a woman known locally for having the strongest grip around, both physically and monetarily. By the time he was born, the siblings were advanced enough in age and sufficient enough in quantity that they took care of a great deal of raising the boy both by parental delegation, and just as a matter of him hanging around them more than his usually busy parents.

Most of his childhood was spent playing in the Ramblings and going places her wasn't supposed to be going. Any chance he could, he'd steal away from the watchful eye of his guardians and go off in whatever direction his heart bade him. Normally he would stick to within the boundaries of The Ramblings, but sometimes he'd venture out further. Once he even tried to sneak into the Wizard Tower, only to be foiled by a passing Sub-Wizard who took notice and kicked him out. After that particular stint, everyone close to him noticed his eyes had shifted from a wooden brown to bright green, but nothing was ever done about it other than a remark or two. Atkin's expeditions away from home would generally end when he got tracked down by one of his siblings, or he managed to return home of his own accord. Afterwards, Mum would give him a beating for going off to dangerous places, but it didn't stop him.

If there were two things that were drilled into his head over the course of his childhood, it was "don't let people walk all over you," and "look out for your own." That second one especially seemed to crop up all the time during situations that didn't seem to make any sense at all. For instance, once when he was 8, his older sister Pamela found abandoned in a ditch a beautiful silver necklace with a ruby embedded at its center. She showed it off to the whole family and wore it around the house for weeks. However, one day the jewelry was noticeably absent from her breast. When he asked what happened to it, she just forlornly stated that she had to look out for her own.

Only years later did he learn of the arguments within the household over what to do with the jewelry: either to sell it for money or keep it for familial prestige, and how others had learned of her new treasure and the danger that put the Bowmans in. It was only when he learned of things like this that he started to truly understand what his family meant when they uttered that phrase.

Before being chosen to become the Arya's apprentice, the major problem in Atkin's life was what he was going to do once he came of age. The most likely outcome was to join the guard like his father, or become a cobbler like his brother, but neither of those options seemed very appealing. Both were doable, but rather dull, and he'd gotten the impression that he'd slowly lose his soul doing a job like that. Since becoming a Wizard apprentice, he's had a very different set of issues. Having to adjust to this new, alien lifestyle while simultaneously catching up on years worth of study he'd never had.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Being a low-class teenage boy, one of the last things on Atkin's mind are castle politics. He's quite busy with learning Magyk and other wizardy things that he doesn't have the time to wonder what was the real reason Meliscente died. In short, the answer to 'what do you think about the Queen' is 'he doesn't.'

Attuned with nature, she can often be found painting deep in the woods, and has established several “regular” spots, though being a woman of ephemeral focus, these change with the winds. House-proud, she keeps her humble abode clean and prepared, for you never know when you may have guests.
Much preferring to live in her own, self-contained world and do as she please, Bell only concerns herself with the affairs of others if she deems it important enough, and even then, begrudgingly.

Habits: Sticks her tongue out when concentrating. Checks her satchel three times before going out anywhere and will check it often whilst out.
Hobbies: Baking and painting and music
Fears:

Your Path: For Bell, it wasn’t so much a case of choosing to become anything or something, she just… is. Raised a White Witch, it’s all she’s really known, and by the first time she left the Forest, the roots of her values and identity were already deep in Wendron soil.

General History: One midsummer night, Bell was left at the threshold of a hut in the Forest. The twin witches within, Eve and Eva, heard the crying and found a mewling babe. Since then have raised Bell as their own daughter, but from an early age they were honest about where Bell came from. They say they never saw who left her there, and that they have no idea why.

It is from her adoptive mothers that she learnt Lyte Witch Magyck. She also inherited Eve’s love of baking and Eva’s love of art; both taught her to love nature and appreciate life and the precocious balance of it all. Warned against the dangers of the Forest, it was not until she was chased by a starving wolf that she took such cautions more seriously and learnt to respect the Forest.

From one that taught her to value life, Bell would be given another, final lesson. Death can come to any, and Eva’s passing, whilst sad, was educational; Eve helped Bell come to grips with mourning, the harmony between life and death, and the fact that all things must pass.

Now she spends most of her time pursuing her hobbies. Though she prefers not to, she still occasionally gets dragged in to the politics of her coven.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:
Not long before the Queen’s death, Bell had brought her a selection of small, get-well-soon cakes. At the time, her illness had seemed odd, but it wasn’t until she heard the rumours surrounding the whole ordeal that Bell began to wonder if something foul was throwing the natural harmony of things out of order. Her first thoughts went to the Darke Witches, but she wrote it off as a gut reaction because of her upbringing. Currently, she is undecided about what she thinks caused the Queen’s illness, but it concerns her.

Name: Myrus Marcellus Silvers
Darke Name: Surym
Age: 15
Birthday: July 11th
Birthplace: the Palace
Residence: the Palace - First Bedroom, Third Corridor Off the Long Walk
Gender: Male
Culture: Small Wet Country Across the Sea

Position: Prince
Alignment: Lawful Good

---

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 147 pounds
Build: Toned
Eyes: Violet
Hair: Auburn-brown
Skin Tone: Peach
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Jagged scar on forehead, barely covered by his hair
Personal Style: Myrus has rarely ever had a choice in his own wardrobe. His mother's servants dressed him when he was little and as he grew older, the clothing provided for him was always in a similar fashion. A proper red cloak for the winter, partnered with a smart tunic and trousers. Because of this, he isn't even certain what his own style would be. He likes to imagine that it would be a tunic over a long sleeved shirt, with sturdy boots good for sailing. Of course, the more he thinks along those lines, the more he wishes to leave the Castle behind him - his sisters were meant to rule it anyways.

---

---

Adventurous * Shy * Compassionate * Isolated * Loyal * Naive

Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single (Formerly dated Mavis Moll)
Personality: Myrus is a good natured soul, always seeing the best in everyone he meets. He's a bit like a Golden Retriever in that manner, having grown up in the walls of the Palace and shielded from the horrors of the world - he hadn't been born yet when Valda was CradleSnatched. Yet as empathetic and compassionate as he is, Myrus also has a bit of restlessness to him. He's never felt at ease with his life, as if it was meant for someone else and not for him. He's lost and adrift.

But that search for purpose and contentment also gives him dreams and hope. Myrus is naively certain that the morning will always bring a new chance - that each second brings everyone a little closer to happiness. The pursuit of happiness will always be a worthwhile endeavor and any challenges can be overcome through trust and bravery. As long as one stays true, he believes anything can be accomplished - it just might take a little bit longer than one would like.

Habits: Wringing his hands, biting the inside of his lip

Fears:

• Spiders
• Loveless Marriage

Your Path: Myrus' path was selected for him at a young age. As the only male child of Queen Meliscente and given that only female children could inherit the throne, Myrus was raised with the intention of one day being married to a Crown Princess. Through his marriage, he could strengthen the political alliances of the Castle and some other nation. And while Myrus has never verbally protested this path, he doesn't want it. He doesn't want to marry someone for political necessity and spend his life focused on politics. He dreams of stealing a vessel and sailing away from the Castle, starting a new life on the sea and seeing the world. The Castle has so many treasures on the Long Walk from distant lands - he wants to see where they all came from.

General History: Myrus is the youngest son of the late Queen Meliscente and her husband. His mother was pregnant with him when his eldest sibling, Valda, was CradleSnatched by Wendron Witches. Myrus' first clear memory is of the Palace Guards patrolling the grounds, with their numbers and ranks increased after Valda's disappearance. He didn't understand it at the time but his mother was petrified that something similar would happen to Luna and Myrus. The Port Witch Coven would be out for blood and the Wendron Witches may very well wish to try their luck again.

He was six years old when his father died. No one would tell him what had happened to him and after a while, Myrus stopped asking. There was no point in being met with the same non-explanation of "I'll tell you once the time is right, Myrus." Rather than assume that something horrible had happened to his father, Myrus imagined an illness for him. People died from illness all the time. And it was something that a six year old could understand. Even now, Myrus still doesn't know what truly happened to his father. His mother died before she ever told him.

Myrus had two good friends growing up - Mavis Moll and his sister, Princess Luna. He would go to Mavis' house and hear stories from her father about his travels, before he gave up his life as a Northern Trader and became a dockhand at the Castle. Those stories sparked his imagination and made him crave to see whatever was beyond the Castle walls, as he had never ventured beyond them at that point in his life.

Once he was the proper age for tutoring, Myrus was plunged into studies of etiquette and diplomacy, while Mavis was apprenticed to a Castle Alchemist. In his spare moments, he'd study maps and learn more about how to operate the vessels down at the Palace's dock. He mostly saw his sister at that point, though he'd sneak out at nights to see his old friend whenever he could. The friendship grew into something more and the two had a brief romance, with Mavis ending things around when Valda was rescued from the Wendron Witches. Myrus tried his best to help his sister acclimate to Castle life, under the impression that it would be a long time until Valda would have to become Queen.

And then after a trip to the Land of Long Nights with his mother, she fell ill and she died, making Luna, Valda, and Myrus orphans.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: His mother's passing has brought up a lot of unanswered questions for Myrus - namely, the death of his father. It breaks his heart to have lost both of his parents before he became of age and he wants to believe that it was an illness. Myrus doesn't want to suspect anyone - whether it's his sister, Valda, a Witch Coven, or the Northern Traders. He wants to remember happier times, rather than dwell on the possibility that his mother was murdered - and that maybe his father was as well...

Culture: Land of Long Nights
Education: Private tutors/self-taught in hospitality and armed combat
Position: Knight of the Castle
Alignment: Lawful Good

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115 pounds
Build: Lithe
Eyes: Round green/blue eyes
Hair: Long, wavy, platinum blonde
Skin Tone: Light
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:

• Various small scars on her arms and legs
• Calloused hands

Personal Style:
Though Lyra is a servant, she tends to dress more boldly and out of the box for her station. She goes for a mixture of elegance, edginess, and practicality. She enjoys wearing flowing dresses, particularly in shades of blue. Yet she also requires that what she wears provides ease of movement and slits for hiding the weapons that she always keeps on her person. Sometimes she may pair a dress with basic pants and tall boots, but sometimes she might not. It depends on her mood and the occasion really. At times, her fashion sense can parallel that of a woman of noble birth rather than a mere lady-in-waiting, which in turn can cause some to have preconceived notions about her. Nevertheless, she has the confidence to rock whatever she wears, and she refuses to dull things down simply to fit people's standards of what a servant should be.

---

---

Charismatic * Bold * Selfless * Formidable * Composed * Self-critical

Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single

Personality:
Lyra has the heart of a servant but the soul of a warrior. That is to say that she is a lover and a fighter simultaneously. She lives to serve others, putting their needs and desires far above her own, but she also cannot deny the call of the sword and shield, that irresistible call of battle. That's not to say that she enjoys violence or killing. No, to her, battle is not about taking lives, it is about saving them. Yet, she is an intelligent individual, who knows that battles can be fought and won on many fronts, if one only knows what is truly worth fighting for. People. To Lyra, people are worth fighting for, and in the end, she would much rather protect someone while standing at their side than to protect them from far off on the battlefield.

She is a very personable individual, who enjoys the time and delicacy it takes to build a long lasting relationship with someone. She is very conscious and considerate of people's thoughts and feelings. Granted, at times, she is bolder than what is deemed appropriate for her station. She is willing to point out flaws in people's thinking and to call them out on their crap, even if it means stepping on some toes in the process. In any case, her intentions are good and honorable. Ultimately, she pours her heart and soul into those around her. She is loyal until given one heck of a reason not to be.

In the end, Lyra is almost always a picture of serenity. She is a level-headed individual, meaning she is slow to anger in most instances. She takes criticism well, looking at it objectively and learning from it. Ironically, she is her own worst critic. The thing is she cares about people deeply, and as such, she beats herself up over things she knows that she could've handled better. Additionally, she is a woman with a cause. Threaten innocent lives and those she holds dear, and she will unleash a storm upon you. Look into her beautiful eyes, and you will often see her for what she truly is: the calm before the storm.

Your Path:
Most in her line of work, in the work of a servant, would have been born into it or forced into it. Yet, you could say that she is the oddball of the bunch, as she chose this life of her own free will. With a father who is a Northern Trader and a mother who is a shield maiden, she had sufficient paths to choose from. Nevertheless, she chose to humble herself and live the life of a servant. Why? Because what better way to live life than to live it to the betterment of others. Though she can't fully deny the call of the sword and shield, the life of a warrior, at the end of the day, she loves that which they defend more than anything. So she took her passion for people and her skill with a sword and melded it together to become a self-proclaimed warrior servant. She lives to serve, and if the need arises, to protect her mistress with her life.

General History:
Lyra was born the youngest of three to Jamison, a well-off Northern Trader, and Vega, a sought-after shield maiden. Growing up in The Lands of the Long Nights with her two older brothers, Cetus and Aries, she could easily keep pace with the rest of the guys. And that she did from a young age, despite her avowed love of more "girly" things such as fashion and dancing. You could say in some ways she didn't always fit in with any particular social group, being too feminine for the guys and too masculine for the girls. Nevertheless, it did little to deter her from pursuing whatever she set her mind to, and in the end, she proved her worth. She was her mother's daughter after all, a lover and a fighter.

Over the years, Lyra had become well-versed in a variety of skillsets from hospitality to sailing to combat. She was an ever eager learner. Yet from the moment she was strong enough to hold a sword, she had always been drawn to the life of a warrior, like a moth towards a flame. Her mother poured into her every bit of knowledge and life experience she had, always emphasizing the importance of restraint and humility on and off the battlefield. In the end, she shaped her daughter into a humble servant rather than some pompous knight who felt that they were entitled to glory and riches due to their "service" to others.

So the question is, what changed to make Lyra shift gears and opt out of the life of a shield maiden for one of a servant. Well, one could say that she was bold from birth and ultimately danced to the beat of her own drum. She took what she had been taught and what had been instilled in her and made it her own. The Small Wet Country Across the Sea, a land she had seen many a time when traveling with her father, called to her, and she decided to build a life and a legacy of her own making. But to achieve greatness, one must start at small beginnings. At the age of 18, she took the big leap and moved to The Small Wet Country Across the Sea where she soon landed a job a servant in The Palace. Perhaps her skill in combat gave her a slight edge on the competition, but at the end of the day, her dedication won out. Following the return of the long lost Princess Valda, and soon after that the tragic passing of Queen Meliscente, she managed to score herself a job as the lady-in-waiting to the crown princess herself. Lyra was certain that if she could do something truly positive, it would be here at the feet of the future queen.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:
To Lyra the death of anyone, big or small, significant or seemingly insignificant, should be considered a tragedy. Never should death be celebrated. The day one celebrates death is the day one becomes less than a human being. So, for a ruler, whose very life holds the lives of hundreds others in the balance, is a tragedy deed. And worse yet, for the ruler's death to be under questionable circumstances, raises even greater concerns regarding the stability of the kingdom. As to whether or not Crown Princess Valda had anything to do with the death of the queen, her own mother, Lyra is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, she gave an oath to serve and protect the future queen with her life, and with the lives of hundreds others hanging in the balance, she will not break that oath.

Age: 23
Birthday: 26 May
Birthplace: The Port
Residence: Sixth Bedroom on the Third Corridor off of the Long Walk
Gender: Female
Culture: Small Wet Country Across the Sea
Education: Trained by the Young Army
Position: Commander of the Palace Guard
Alignment: Lawful Evil "Dominator"

---

---

Height: 5’6”
Weight: 180 lbs
Build: Curvy, muscular
Eyes: Ice Blue
Hair: Auburn with blonde highlights; naturally curly
Skin Tone: Olive
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: On the back of her neck she has 526; Tree tattoo fading into birds on the inside of her left forearm; Royal purple dragon with a compass in the middle (no words) on the back of her right calf; A sword with amethyst stones on the hilt, shaded to look like shifting glass spans the length of her back. The handle follows the line of her shoulder blades and the tip hits the bottom of her lower back. Written on the blade are the words E'ya stu rezku. (I am become blade); her right ear has seven ear piercings, left has three; she has a scar on the inside of her right thigh and a scar on her right forearm, running the length of her forearm. Multiple lashes on her back but the sword covers the majority of them. Other cuts and permanent bruises from her many fights/missions.
Personal Style: Amarantha can be mostly found in dark green leather. She loves the colour green and what it does to her eyes and the way it makes her hair stand out. The leather is surprisingly breathable even though it hugs her form completely. It helps her sneak through most places in the night and catches the attention of most people during the day. She has been seen in formal dresses but prefers a pant and shirt combination or her leathers. The weather doesn’t seem to change her clothing desires. She can been seen in her signature leather in plus 30 weather or below freezing with her hair naturally curled and in a high ponytail. She wears a small amount of khol under her eyes to make the brilliant blue pop even more. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, be careful with how long you stare. You might not like what you see.
Now being in the Palace she has required a taste for the finer things; including excessive bathing. She now wears a dragon skin suit when she goes out to complete her Assassin work or training and a simple green, corseted dress when she is attending meetings.

---

---

Patient * Smart-ass * Passionate * Dissociated * Loyal * Intense

Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: She has better things to do.
Personality: In one word; vixin. Amarantha’s origin story may be like every other Young Army recruit but her personality is all her own. She gives no quarter and will be smiling while she takes everything from you. Her ruthless side is one not to be crossed and she acts like she has no remorse for what she is doing. Her witty and flirtatious side seems to balance out the constant desire to bend people to her will and doing everything that Gwydion Puck asks of her.
She has a passion for life and living it to the fullest extent possible; even if that means bending the rules. Things are limited for people of the Young Army but with her need to get out and do things, a rebellious streak was found in her. In general, being bit of an outlaw helps her with the more difficult tasks she takes on but in relation to her passionate life it opens up to a softer side. In a rainstorm she’ll take off for hours, hiding in it, watching the rain fall from the sky and cause little ripples through the life it interrupts. She’ll slip into the markets and taste foods from all around her little world, maybe even steal some too. When she returns and gets in trouble and most often beaten for her efforts, it hardens her a little more and she becomes that much more fiercer in battle; and a bit stealthier.
Habits: Constantly sharpening her weapons; sitting cross-legged, literally everywhere.
Hobbies: Watching/chasing the birds; Running; Training
Fears:

• Dying in her sleep
• Dusk; it’s one of those in-between places where more wickedness seems to come out
• Ghosts

Likes:

• Birds
• Outdoors
• Water/Rain
• Dancing
• Sweets
• Sunrises

Dislikes:

• Bad food
• Loud noises
• Insects
• Poor hygiene
• Flowers

Your Path: Amarantha isn’t sure where she would be today. She was taken at three years old and only knows the path of the Young Army. Even at the young age, Amarantha was determined to survive. To become the Deputy Hunter was a goal for all of the children and Amarantha was going to claim that title for herself. She proved herself over her many years and the coveted title finally became hers. She takes her role seriously and isn’t easily deterred from her path.

General History: Amarantha is the child of a poor seamstress and carpenter living in the Port of the Castle. Her father left as soon as her mother announced her pregnancy and was raised solely by her mother for three short years. At three years old, Amarantha was taken by the Young Army and became known as 526. It wasn’t all horrible. For some it was a honor to have their children taken. For Amarantha’s mother, it was a blessing. They were barely getting by as it was and she was unsure her daughter would make it through another winter.
526 grew strong with regular meals and was training at the age of five for simple work but the training was gruley on someone so young; however, her ambition was noted early on and she excelled quickly. The younger children all leaned on each other for survival but once they reached double digits a different mentality seemed to take over the children. They were now fighting for food and for that coveted position that would hold them above all others. Despite all the fighting, on the training field and within their barracks, 526 developed a strong friendship. 513 was the only person who knew a different side of 526, a calmer and softer side. One who dreamed for a life full of life and colour. During one of their training exercises, he was killed. This pain burned bright inside 526 and she went after those responsible. She wasn’t capable of killing then, she still lacked the strength but she tore them down from the inside out. The mind is the most fragile thing, even above the heart. If you break the mind, you break the heart and then taking someone down after that, easy. This was the beginning of her reckless streak. She earned the cut on her leg from that fight and the one on her arm was earned by disobeying orders.
As she reached maturity, she filled out and became useful in more ways. 526 was used to lure people in and often got to torture them herself or was subjected to watch. Death became a constant in 526’s life and she didn’t even bat an eye anymore when those close to her began to die from the increased training and dangerous missions. They often went after rival witch groups and most didn’t come back. With this new found freedom of her looks and skills came more rebellion. She pushed herself to discover new things and these often lead to breakthroughs in missions but also lashings by Gwydon Puck for going behind their backs and doing her own thing. One day all of 526’s disobedience, having to gain trust again and hard work paid off and she was promoted to Deputy Hunter, a coveted position that the children used to stay up late at night and talk about. They would share all their stories about the Deputy Hunters they knew. Upon on her position change they gave her the option of keeping the number or her true name; Amarantha. She latched onto her name but tattoed the number on the back of her neck. That number was still a part of her but this name made her feared, respected and sought after. People knew her now and they would come after her, making it far easier to track people down. Her story is just beginning and with a new Queen comes new opportunities.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente: Ding dong the wicked witch is dead! Good riddance! She refused the Young Army and Amarantha could have potentially lost her life because of it. She’s gone and Gwydion Puck is determined to bring the Young Army back to their full glory, they just have to get past the Crown Princess and they will be well on their way. Amarantha has no doubt that a witch is behind it and will gladly congratulate them herself if the opportunity presents itself but there’s this whole need to kill thing that may hinder that. Puck has his own plan after all and the Deputy Hunter must follow.

Character Quote: I am not ruined. I am ruination.

There are many ways to bring about someone’s death but watching them slowly lose their minds over what you plant inside them is far more exciting then stabbing them outright.
Theme Song: Bad Guy - Billie Elish

Anything Else: Ingrid Beauchamp. Night School.
Briét -- Naeturfrost (can be found on Apple music, Google Music and I assume Spotify) -- This song is what I imagine Amarathas’ “softer” side to be.

Name: Tritan
Darke Name: Natirt
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Position: Deputy Hunter/Second-in-Command
Summary: Taken from the streets when he was young, Boy 500, now Titan, grew up within the young army. He was born with blue eyes which isn’t uncommon but as he got older he experienced some “witch like” tendencies. This of course was strictly forbidden within the Young Army so Titan never got the training he needed to advance his knowledge. Now that Amarantha is in charge, leading them all in a different direction, Titan has come forth and is being trained by Asha/Arya. True, their power differs from a witches but the principle is the same.
Titan is part of an elite group within the Young Army who are known to handle the “dirty” deeds of the Castle. He never fails to let anyone know of his victories and is quite the shameless flirt.
