For all intents and purposes, Ravenna is the type of woman that knows how to take care of herself. Often dressed in somewhat trendy fashions when not at work, and rarely ever seen outside without a certain level of grooming. At 5'9, she's hardly short, and her efforts of keeping herself in shape have given her at least some semblance of a healthy build. Though she tends to cover it with her hair, Ravenna also has heterochromia, with her left eye a sharp blue and her right eye a warmer brown. However, it isn't her physical appearance that tends to draw the eye so much as the welcoming aura that the woman tends to exude. Rarely ever seen with a negative expression on her face, it can be hard to imagine her with an expression of distaste or anger. Still, she hardly ever seems to notice that she doesn't need to put so much effort into her appearances--an old habit, perhaps, from days that she hasn't quite left behind yet.[/indent] ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]MEDIUM APPEARANCE[/color] - [url=https://i.imgur.com/jVmsFBw.png]Cinderella from SINoALICE[/url] by [url=https://twitter.com/ji_no_]Jino[/url] [indent]Ravenna's hair grows quite a bit in length while in her medium appearance, her clothing shifting considerably into something oftentimes revealing. Though her clothing's appearance occasionally shifts based on the spirits under her command, it seems that many of her physical features do not seem to change significantly.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/HDpbusB.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]“Something is off about her.” She smiles and nods in agreement, and it doesn’t seem out of place. A flick of her hair out of her eyes, and you can see that the words aren’t wrong. There is something inherently [i]wrong[/i] with her, something behind the friendly demeanor that’s just slightly off. Not enough to pin it down, but enough that watching from a distance… Yes, something about her doesn’t seem right, but maybe biting your tongue is a better option. [color=cfa9af]“Ahh, you don’t need to worry about that. I’m not offended. Everyone thinks it.”[/color] Like a mind reader, Ravenna smiles and beckons you over, patting the empty seat across from her to entice you closer. Somehow, under her gaze, it’s easy to be drawn in. An enchantment, perhaps, by the thin film of mystery that falls over the woman as she leans on the counter of the little café she’s finally begun to call her own. Something is off, and yet the easy smile she gives you almost seems…welcoming. Going along with her whims is easy, taking the proffered seat almost the most natural thing in the world. She listens, a serene expression on her face, refilling your empty cup as she coaxes struggle and trial from you. And it keeps spilling without much interference from the woman. Maybe it’s the way she never seems offended, the way that every frustration glances off her, the way that she never seems to judge you. Something about the woman seems to be a little detached, or maybe it’s the distance of being just out of reach despite that friendly smile playing across her face. Either way, it doesn’t feel like talking to a friend or counselor so much as yelling in an room that can echo your frustrations back at you. Opening up is just… easy around Ravenna. So easy, in fact, that it’s hard to remember that from a distance, there was definitely something wrong with her. But you leave, satisfied with being able to release everything, and she remains behind with that half-distant look on her face as she swallows every secret whole. “Something is definitely off about her.”[/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xyBqURd.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]The world had always been bland, a panorama of washed out colors bordering on grey. Nothing was especially satisfying, though it wasn’t for lack of trying. Ravenna always [i]tried[/i]. Over and over again, she would frantically grasp at fraying threads. Anything to add to the festering void she stood before. Bleak, bland, desolate—she understood only those words. Ravenna Fairchilde had never known more. It followed her like a curse, throwing its film over everything she laid her hands on. Hobbies. Interests. Material possessions. Nothing. It left her nothing, and the more desperately she tried, the deeper it dug its claws into her. Gouging, tearing, [i]festering[/i]. Each failure was another step closer to an edge, until she walked a razor thin wire from one ambition to the next with nothing ever filling that empty space in her chest. Some said it was trauma—after all, she’d lost her parents young. A freak accident that took countless good lives to the world beyond, her uncle would tell her. Ravenna never knew how true that was. “Nothing in this world is quite as fulfilling as love.” He’d always said it to her after he’d taken her in. When he would sit by her bedside and try to fill in for both parental figures, he would reassure her time and time again. He loved her, even if she wasn’t his own. There was nothing that would ever change that, and he was better for it. His life, one way or another, was somehow more fulfilled despite the unexpected nature of their cohabitation. It really might have been that persistent effort to care that led to her undoing. When countless efforts failed her, Ravenna swiped at lifelines around her. Anything would have done, any type of purchase in a quickly diminishing world. It was only natural that rumors would start to spread, the way that Ravenna flit from one relation to the next. Whispers followed in her wake, thinly shielded by hands as they passed along the telephone line. “She’s so easy.” “She fools around with everyone.” “She’s such a damn predator.” Yet through it all, the medium couldn’t find that fulfillment the world at large lauded. There was always some sort of schism, the distance too wide for her to cross. Perhaps the next one, or maybe the one after that? The possibility kept her slowly plodding along, heedless of the stares and rumors. They say she’s changed since those days. Something about her feels more anchored despite her continued dalliances, a sense of completion that was never quite there before. …but surely that’s just a trick of the eye, right?[/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/itbXQBk.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]❤❜) Lakewood High alumni.

Yilan is harsh, and some might even say cruel, but it is no liar. It minces few words, and its view on humanity is kept under no veil. Spirits are superior, and its medium is little more than a means to an end. Still, it still obeys the woman’s commands without complaint. It seems to understand that with its medium, they are greater than the sum of their parts, if nothing else. Perhaps even more than that—after all, Yilan doesn’t begrudge Ravenna for her orders, and is rarely ever seen far away from its medium.[/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0t9uj3W.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]Yilan does not possess any abilities while summoned.

Many of his scars carry over from his true form, which often causes him to look like a stray. He's often found napping near the Foxhole or within Ravenna's house itself or else people staring. Likely due to his personality, Rust is hardly vocal in this form, and prefers to express himself by swatting or biting.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8XaVbfD.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]Perhaps because his focus was created by humans, or perhaps because he is a slight anomaly among spirits, Rust is able to imitate humans to a deceptive degree. He's not a very vocal spirit despite being capable and far from above utilizing human speech. He rarely speaks to other spirits (or at all), and tends to prefer being on his own. Due to the nature of his pact with Ravenna, Rust can be a little overbearing in keeping a close proximity to his medium. Rather, he seems to be almost self-conscious of the fact that he seems to be closer to human than spirit, preferring to keep a distance between himself and both humans and fellow spirits.[/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0t9uj3W.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]Ravenna is unable to summon Rust's true form.[/indent][/indent][/hider] [hider=Lyra of Wanderlust][indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/ZBBB5FE.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]♛❜) [color=8fa5c7]NAME[/color] - Lyra ♛❜) [color=8fa5c7]CLASSIFICATION[/color] - Meta ♛❜) [color=8fa5c7]FOCUS[/color] - Wanderlust[/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0exCTq7.png[/img] ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ [indent]♛❜) [color=8fa5c7]TRUE FORM[/color] - [url=https://i.imgur.com/2drfntP.png]Lyra[/url] by [url=https://www.deviantart.com/artpagi]ArtPagi[/url] [indent]In her true form, Lyra is a majestic avian-like creature with snow white plumage.

She doesn't seem indignant about the situation, but despises being bound to a person until the pact is released. While she isn't friendly, Lyra isn't necessarily cruel or malicious either.

To be more accurate, Tyet's true form is a mass of sentient black ribbon that happens to keep the form of a humanoid rabbit. Tyet is only about the size of a small dog when condensed into a general shape, but often unravels unintentionally.

While it holds a high level of disdain for humanity, the spirit still obeys its medium (though not without a grumble aboutit first). It seems to take a great pleasure in appearances, however.

Even the other spirits don't seem to have much of a read on her, though she appears to be quite attached to them. Despite the apparent attraction and reliance, Dagda doesn't seem to express much emotion.

A being driven by anger and frustration at his own helplessness, it's easy to see that being forced to ask for help only serves to drive the fury further. To be stuck to a human, a species that he begrudges the loss of his precious land, is perhaps even more infuriating than the fact that he lost his home to begin with.

Though it lacks raw power, the sheer versatility paired with quick wit and evidently more experience than one might expect makes the woman a formidable force on the field. Praecantatio is, when all is said and done, witchcraft watered down for human use. Each of Ravenna's spirits is able to become a catalyst for her use on command, though she is only able to attune herself to two at any given moment. Each catalyst allows for limited use of a different type of witchcraft when put to use, but attunement takes time and requires the presence of the designated spirit. Ravenna's catalysts include the following: [hider=YILAN, THE SERPENT'S EYE] A crystal ball that acts as a catalyst for divination-based abilities. It is about the size of a softball, and while Ravenna can hold it for use, it is more often found floating in a close proximity to her. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Speak to me[/color] - While attuned to Yilan, Ravenna is capable of short-term psychometry. By making physical contact with an item (non-living), she's able to see highlights of its recent past. So long as Ravenna utilizes the ability within two hours of an event, she is typically able to view a recreation of it in the object's history. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]See for me[/color] - By planting one of Yilan's scales in a location, Ravenna is able to utilize its catalyst to scry within radius of the placed scale, much akin to a magical security camera. Scrying can be noticed by the perceptive and easily disrupted if a medium or spirit so wishes. Scales can also be placed onto people or objects to further their spread, though Ravenna can only maintain six to be prepared for scrying at once, and can only scry in single locations. After four days, the scales fade and must be replaced. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Worry for me[/color] - With bursts of high effort, Ravenna is able to utilize a highly enhanced sense of danger for about half a second. In that time frame, she is able to visualize an immense number of hazy outlines of possible movement for a target. Ones that pose a danger to her are lined in red, while ones that are not dangerous to her are lined in a dull blue. She is unable to view which ones are more or less likely to occur, only which ones are most immediately, physically dangerous to her. However, Ravenna isn't able to use the ability in rapid succession (even once every two minutes is highly taxing), and can't process more than a small number of outlines at once.[/indent][/hider] [hider=RUST, THE ARMORY'S STAFF] A simple [url=https://gbf.wiki/Holy_Night_Scepter#/media/File:Weapon_b_1040416200.png]staff[/url] about the length of a standard quarterstaff. Rust is lightweight and sturdy, making it easy for Ravenna to maintain some sense of mobility while utilizing the staff. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Forge for me[/color] - While attuned to Rust, the armory's staff is able to conjure simple runic weapons. While she is able to conjure from a small pool of simple weapons (i.e. basic swords or lances), Ravenna cannot wield that which she has no experience with. Furthermore, she isn't able to grant these weapons to other people to wield. Only one type of weapon can be conjured at once, and only up to four can be maintained at the same time. Adjusting the size and shape of the weapons has an effect on the number that can be conjured. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Listen to me[/color] - With no real training with weaponry, Ravenna has little choice but to use Rust's secondary ability to utilize the ones she conjures. After a weapon is conjured, Ravenna is able to "call" to the weapon, using movements of the staff to direct it. She lacks the finesse to make complex maneuvers with multiple or large, unwieldy weapons, but can effectively launch, return, or guide weapons in this manner.[/indent][/hider] [hider=LYRA, THE WANDERER'S BOOTS] Boots that run up to Ravenna's thighs. Due to their magical nature, they are able to cling to her skin without discomfort or hampering her mobility. Both boots have a rune-like design along their front, and when attuned to Ravenna, the center of the design releases wisps of smoke-like light. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Move me[/color] - While attuned to Lyra, Ravenna's boots are able to teleport her short distances (a maximum of about 7 meters) within her line of sight. While Ravenna is able to teleport herself and small items on her person, she cannot teleport others, and can quickly become disoriented or nauseated by attempting to teleport multiple times in rapid succession. Her teleportation is unable to directly harm anyone. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Disperse me[/color] - For a few seconds at a time, Ravenna can become intangible. While in this state, she isn't able to breathe. Much like her teleportation, she is able to make herself and small items on her person intangible, but cannot share it with others. She must remain in contact with an item to share her intangibility. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Carry me[/color] - Capable of flight while attuned to Lyra. While not capable of outrunning a plane, Ravenna is able to maintain a higher speed in the air than she is running. As long as she is in the air, Ravenna gains a thin aura that allows her to keep at higher elevations as though they were at ground level. While she cannot share the gift of flight itself, she can use her own strength to carry others with her (at the cost of speed) and grant a lesser version of the passive aura with concentration.[/indent][/hider] [hider=TYET, THE JAILER'S RIBBON] A length of ribbon the same color as the aura that comes from the Wanderer's boots. The ribbon is a set length, and when cut, will gradually return to its original length. In order to utilize the catalyst, a section must be severed for each use of an ability. Due to its magical nature, only mediums are able to sever the ribbon. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Restrain for me[/color] - A simple and direct way to restrain a target. By placing a sigil on a target area, Ravenna is able to ensnare a target within the sigil on command with ribbons similar to the catalyst. With enough strength, a medium is able to sever or break the ribbons. She may place up to four separate sigils, but reduces the strength of the restraints by creating more than one. Should Ravenna be within the sigil as well, she may command the bindings to tighten or release as well. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Connect me[/color] - Tyet is able to connect up to three people to Ravenna (as well as each other, should the necessity rise). While connected, Ravenna is able to transmit and receive thoughts or even briefly share senses with a connected individual. While the connection can be made without a target's knowledge, it is easily disrupted and severed once noticed by a medium. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Entwine for me[/color] - By binding two objects together, Ravenna is able to link their conditions to each other, with one acting as a voodoo doll to the other, so to speak. While the effect can't be made on living things or other spirits, Ravenna can destroy or repair objects that might otherwise be too difficult for her to manage with resourceful use of the ability.[/indent][/hider] [hider=DAGDA, THE ALCHEMIST'S PHIALS] A set of three ornate phials. When attuned to Ravenna, they are able to produce potions for use, and gradually refill themselves on command. One of the phials seems to be entirely incapable of producing any potions for some reason, though Ravenna has attributed this to Dagda being one of the newest spirits to the fold. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Drink me[/color] - One of the phials fills with a potion that Ravenna can drink to enhance her strength, speed, or durability for about three minutes. She must drink the full contents of the phial for the effect to take place, and can only enhance one of the attributes at a time. After the magic fades out, she suffers from a significant crash that leaves her physically drained. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Pour me[/color] - Much like Drink me, Pour me enhances a physical attribute, though it works only on items that the potion is poured on. The potion is ineffective against living things, but can work to enhance an item's attribute such as hardness or flexibility. The effects are temporary, and items typically degrade faster when they are enhanced through this method.[/indent][/hider] [hider=LOBO, THE VINDICATOR'S LANTERN] An ornate lantern that can be attached to a chain. When attuned, the lantern glows with a similar color to the auras emitted by Ravenna's other catalysts. The lantern's flame doesn't give off heat, allowing Ravenna to allow it to rest against her skin without harm, and can burn so long as it is supplied with spiritual energy. [indent]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Change for me[/color] - Perhaps the most taxing ability in Ravenna's arsenal. By throwing the lantern's flame onto a target, Ravenna is able to give it a new form for a short period of time (averaging at about 90 seconds for completely willing targets and decreasing drastically with resistance). Living targets must become living forms while objects simply become other objects. Should the new form be killed or broken in the time period it is changed, the target simply reverts to its state prior to being polymorphed. Ravenna is only able to target one thing at a time with this ability, and use of it is taxing even for short periods of time. Unwilling targets are able to completely resist the effect with enough willpower. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Burn for me[/color] - By burning a part of a target (hair, nails, and the like are sufficient) along with another item in the lantern, Ravenna is able to inflict phantom maladies onto a target. For example, burning hair with a needle may induce stabbing pains while burning ice as a catalyst may induce a chilling type of discomfort. While the discomfort is not enough to be crippling, by focusing it to localized areas, it can easily reach a level of hindrance. Burned items are consumed and must be replenished, and all discomfort or pain inflicted is merely illusory and does not directly deal any damage to the target.[/indent][/hider][/indent][/hider] [hider=Weaknesses/Limitations]❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Physical weakness[/color] - Unlike most mediums, Ravenna's channeling grants her no physical boosts without actively using an ability to do so. While she isn't entirely out of shape, she is a far cry from physically strong. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Stamina[/color] - Despite being bound solely to lesser spirits and being limited in the number that she may attune herself to at a time, Ravenna has abnormally poor stamina for an experienced medium. While she can push herself through combat or high levels of exertion, the aftermath often leaves her exhausted for far longer than others. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Raw firepower[/color] - Praecantatio allows Ravenna to draw on her strengths with its versatility, but even with her hefty number of spirits, she lacks much raw firepower. With only Rust capable of truly providing an offensive presence, Ravenna doesn't hold much advantage in a direct confrontation in most cases. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Disinterest[/color] - As friendly as Ravenna is, it's not exactly difficult to see why she might not be very enthusiastic about getting in on a fight. Especially with her spirits all being lower in the hierarchy, the risks are often far greater than the benefits when it comes to being drawn into combat. Ravenna's natural tendency to avoid conflict can make it hard for her to bring harm to others before they can harm her. Even worse when she seems to lack any ambition toward her own interests. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Unpredictable[/color] - There's a certain level of mystery around Ravenna, thanks to her tendency to play the devout listener over sharing much about herself. Thanks to that, it's hard to know exactly what the woman's thoughts are at any given moment in time. While some might consider that a benefit, the reality is that it makes her difficult to work with, especially when there's little time to react to an abnormal action. ❤❜) [color=cfa9af]Prep time[/color] - While attuning to a new catalyst isn't [i]difficult[/i], per say, it requires that the spirit be present and available to become the catalyst in question, making foresight or preparation a must in times of danger.[/hider] [hider=Contract]They always approached her in the Foxhole. It wasn't really a bother, as long as it remained something that happened after turned the hanging sign from "OPEN" to "CLOSED". Things got a little sticky otherwise. Priorities though. Ravenna remained seated as she opened her eyes, her posture never faltering as mismatched eyes dared a sidelong glance to take in her surroundings. A bunker, perhaps? Or perhaps some sort of storage, based on the number of weapons lined up against the walls. As a woman with no real interest in weaponry, she could identify them as little more than primitive types of armaments. Swords, hatchets, spears--Ravenna doubted she'd be able to split hairs about it. A moment passed in silence. Then another. And another. She kicked her legs lightly to pass the time, but even that felt unfulfilling. ...how long was this one going to wait? [color=cfa9af]"You don't need to watch me, you know,"[/color] the woman hummed softly, her hands laid one atop the other, the soft sound of flesh tapping flesh forming some semblance of a rhythm. [color=cfa9af]"You're not the first one to ever approach me."[/color] The sensation of being watched intensified in response--if Ravenna had been anyone else, she might have tried to bolt. Instead, the woman smiled, a writhing sensation attempting to crawl from her stomach to her chest. [color=cfa9af]"I already have what I was searching for. I'm only here to give you what you need."[/color] [color=8fa5c7]"...that's not how this works."[/color] Human language? And hers, to boot. That was a delightful surprise, though the shock fell more in how [i]human[/i] the spirit that approached her seemed. If not for the very fact that they were in his domain, Ravenna might have been entirely fooled. A man with tanned skin comes to a stop, towering as he looked down with malachite eyes. Scars marred his face, his arms, even the color of his eyes seems almost off in scattered fragments. A spirit that had been wounded before, perhaps. The way he looked at her, calculating and uncertain... She doubted that she was his first. [color=cfa9af]"You... are a bit of an odd one. It would be easier to accept things as they are..."[/color] Her smile gained a knowing note, one different than the standard flare that she flashed at her customers. [color=cfa9af]"But I suppose you are expecting a demand from me."[/color] She raised her gaze to the spirit. He was almost human, wasn't he? But the undeniable feeling in the pit of her stomach, the warmth that spread across her veins and through her system. It was impossible for him to be human. Ravenna could say that with absolute certainty. [color=cfa9af]"Then... protect me. Until our pact is done. Protect me as you would protect yourself."[/color] [color=8fa5c7]"That can't be all you want."[/color] [color=cfa9af]"I already have what I want, so I'll gladly give you what you need."[/color] She offered a delicate hand to the spirit, a human motion for a human shape. He seemed unnerved by the ease, but maintained a steely silence. [color=cfa9af]"Until the day comes, I'll put myself in your care."[/color] [color=8fa5c7]"...you really are exactly like they said."[/color][/hider][/hider]
