VALAERIA NOVAKThe Cult of the Blue Moth
Physical Description: Valaeria, age 25, is a carbon copy of all of the women on her mother's side of the family. She's taller than most, but not remarkably so, standing at approximately 5'7". Her build is naturally slim, though she puts on muscle rather easily and would not be blown over by a rogue gust of wind. Like her mother and her grandmother before her, she has jet black, glossy hair that falls to the middle of her back. The most unusual aspect of Valaeria's appearance is the streak of pale blonde on the left side of her head. It starts at about the middle of her head and ends just above her ear. Though it looks unnatural, she was actually born with a strange genetic mutation that causes one part of her hair to be blonde. The same is true even for her eyebrows and her eyelashes on the left side of her face. It gives her an asymmetry that some find off-putting. Her brows are narrow and naturally arched, and she has long eyelashes above probing brown/green eyes. As for her complexion, Valaeria is neither pale nor dark of skin. She puts on color quite easily when exposed to the sun, and at her healthiest has a bronze tan, though she is often paler in the winter. Another trait she inherited from her mother are her long-fingered hands and her cupid's bow lips. Her nose is on the longer side and has a slight bump along the ridge. As for clothing, Valaeria dislikes the way she looks in bright colors. Thankfully, the Cult solved that problem for her by making all its members wear gauzy white dresses, and she is happy to comply. She would not be caught dead in yellow or orange.
Personality: The women in Valaeria's family have a reputation for being controlling. Her mother, for example, makes all of the financial decisions for the family and is more likely to travel for business than her father. Valaeria inherited some of this. She is out-spoken and secure in her own opinions. She is completely unafraid of confrontation. In fact, some would say that she seeks The confidence that has been fostered in her can sometimes translate into arrogance. In fairness to her, however, she is a good person who tries her best to be fair. She hates the idea of manipulation, and though she can come on strong at times, it is with the intention of never misleading others. The only time when this is not true is in the realm of romance. When it comes to love, Valaeria has been called "aloof" or "standoffish" by some. She is never one to bat eyelashes or whisper sweet nothings, not unless she truly means them. Another trait of Valaeria's is that she is very family oriented. She loves her siblings, her parents, and her son so much that being parted from them can feel physically painful. At the same time, she is also ambitious, and she desires to accomplish things outside of just motherhood.
Background: Her family is based near Cypra in an estate closer to the mountains. She was born there along with her older sister, Kaskia, and her younger brother, Bruno. Wealth runs in her family, inherited several generations back from the quartz mine that remains in the family. Her father "manages" the mine, but it is her mother who has connections all across the country. Valeria's maternal grandmother is a priestess of the Blue Moth, and all of the women in the family have been deeply ingrained in the rituals there. Valeria first went to the sanctuary at the age of five. Anyway, her childhood was a privileged one. She grew up on her family's large estate, roaming the hills and learning the family business. The hardest time in her life was when she got unexpectedly pregnant at the age of seventeen. This was the result of a short affair with a boy she had known since childhood. They did not love each other, and she learned she was pregnant after he was deployed to serve in the army. Valaeria's father was incredibly angry, and she fled to live with her grandmother in the cult sanctuary. There she gave birth to a son named Keelo. He lives with her parents and she visits as frequently as she can despite her constant travel.

LUKJA ROKIRThe Architects
Physical Description: Lukja, age 27, looks at home among the ruffians and the vagabonds. When not working, he sticks to the poorer parts of town where he was born, and he fits in with the people there seamlessly. Then again, he carries himself with an elegance that also suggests an innate nobility. Needless to say, he fits in with many groups of people. As far as stature goes, he is taller than most men but not notably so, standing at a little over 5'10. He has a thin build with hints of muscle, but he is by no means bulky. He has long limbs and good posture. His complexion is light and is more likely to burn than tan. When he was a child, his hair was bright yellow blonde but has since deepened to a much darker blonde/brown. He has green eyes and a wicked white smile. His clothes are expensively made but very well-worn, evidence of his limited wardrobe. He often has holes in his knees and tears around the collars of his shirts. All of these things make it clear that he performs regular physical labor. Though he is mostly a designer, he is well known for getting his hands dirty to show the workers what he wants. Not only that, but he is a naturally rough-and-tumble person who does not shy away from breaking a nail. His face is pleasant, many would say handsome. He has a straight nose and intelligent but warm eyes.
Personality: If Lukja had his way, he would spend his days fishing and traipsing around the wilderness. He is an explorer at heart and a self-proclaimed "free-spirit." He has a natural disdain for authority and is prone to breaking rules, especially arbitrary ones. As a child he had trouble with the law, and that streak of criminality still runs through him, though it is more toned down now. This does not mean he is a bad person. In fact, Lukja has a natural morality. Though he enjoys testing the boundaries, he does have strong core values. For example, he believes all lives are sacred, no matter how small or unassuming. He has a habit of adopting stray animals and of making friends with the less fortunate or the otherwise overlooked people Nasso. He sees the beauty in a modest life. It is somewhat ironic, then, that he is among the most respected class of people in the city. As an architect, it is his job to preserve the grandeur and prestige of the sacred city. Unlike most of his colleagues, he does his duty out of a love for beautiful things. He is not motivated by money or honor. Those who are close to Lukja would call him stubborn. He has strong, sometimes radical political opinions. He is not afraid to burn bridges with people who he comes in conflict with. He can be hot-headed and at times he can be blinded by his own passion. Though he always has good intentions, it can be hard for him to understand that others have compelling points of view.
Background: where do they come from?

CHARACTER NAMEThe University
Physical Description: Seraphina has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and her skin is a light caramel color. She is slightly taller than average with a willowy but somewhat curvy figure. As part of her home culture, women are given a tattoo-like design (called a kono), usually across their back and shoulders and sometimes onto their arms. Men receive them too but theirs are usually run the length of both arms. It is only a few shades darker than their skin so as not to stand out dramatically but enough to show their status. Well-done kono are expensive so it’s primarily the wealthy that have them. Seraphina’s starts with a flower in the middle of her upper back and vines extend up toward her neck, down her spine, and out on either side. The vines on the side travel around her upper arm and trail onto her collar bone. Small flowers bloom from the vines. Seraphina adopted the fashion of Ilenfore when she started at the University, usually opting to wear simple dresses the covered her shoulders and back.
Personality: When Seraphina was living in her home country of Hyden, she was often forced to suppress certain aspects of her personality due to the social conventions of Hyden. Sometimes it was a conscious effort but sometimes she did it without even realizing. When she arrived at the University in Ilenfore several years ago she morphed herself into the student she thought she should be. Attentive, hard-working, desperate to prove herself. But she often kept to herself. Not necessarily by choice, it wasn’t always easy being in a foreign country and some people were more friendly than others. As she adapts to her new role perhaps some of her confidence and stubbornness will re-emerge and she will get the chance to find out who she can be.
Background: As mentioned before, Seraphina is not from Ilenfore. She spent most of her life in Hyden, a small country not far from Ilenfore. In Hyden, it is generally believed that women are better seen than heard and that the best thing one can do for society is marry strategically – an arrangement usually made by one’s parents – and start having children. Seraphina felt otherwise which ultimately led to her running away to the University in Ilenfore. It was a difficult decision as she had a good relationship with both her mother and older brother. It was her father she didn’t see eye to eye with. Her father is in a government position in Hyden and her family is considered one of the more affluent families in the country. Sorry for being MIA, I'm on travel for work and it's been busy. Hoping to have my first character up soon, I'll definitely have some side characters too. Edit: Still a WIP but I'm getting there.

Lucie SuttonWeavers
Physical Description: Lucie is on the shorter side, only 5'4 at 26 years old. She has dark, curly hair cut to the shoulder, sometimes tied back in a bun but often left in a frizz. Her dark brown eyes sit under downwards-tilted brows, her face is rounded, cheekbones low, a scattering of lighter freckles over her nose. Her skin is mid-toned, too dark to tan, but never burns. She has a curvy body type and is slightly overweight from the rich foods her family affords. Yet her arms and legs are strong from the hard labor of the loom; she was given all the hard tasks her siblings didn't want to do and the long hours have given her strength. Her stamina may be great for weaving, but less so for running, and she has a weak core strength.
Personality: Her confidence has never been her strong suit. Being the one who picked up most of the distasteful work, Lucie often allows herself to be relegated away from important things and set her own way and can be easy to push around. She would rather go do something she doesn't want to do than make a fuss about it. She hesitates to show weakness or ask for help, but luckily she rarely needs it. She's a sharp thinker and has a strong arm and will, unafraid to take her time to learn skills particularly when no one is there to watch her fail. What she lacks in confidence she makes up for in determination and creativity. She's one to do a task well rather than quickly. She's loyal, and wants to use her position to speak out for those who don't have a voice (even if she's too afraid to take sides). Lucie is the kind of person that wouldn't be brave enough to stand up for someone in an argument, but would make them tea and cookies to help soothe them after the fact. A good friend and outgoing in small circles, but someone who shies away at the first sign of disagreement.
Background: She comes from a long line of weavers, rich folk who, while skillful, rather talk about weaving than do any actual labor themselves. Lucie is the fourth of five daughters: she wasn't in line for inheritance like the eldest, (the second never counted, shunned for leaving the family name and joining the mercenaries), the third was prettiest, in line for a good marriage, and the youngest, four years younger than Lucie, was a weaving prodigy. This left Lucie, the disposable one, to be sent away to the royal circle so that all of her siblings and family could brag about one of their own being royalty without sacrificing the immense power they hold over the weavers. Like the rest of the Suttons, she learned to work the loom before she could even say full sentences. Lucie had taken to it quickly, though she found much more enjoyment knitting and spinning the soft wool than she did working the loom. She had always known she would be pushed to join the royal circle --with the Sutton's overwhelming economic influence on the weavers, there was little hope she would get around that fate. Since she was old enough to understand the arrangement, Lucie has been both excited and mournful of her duty. She knew it was the best she would get, rather than be married off to a lower noble, whatever one her parents could arrange the lowest dower for, hoarding the rest for the other daughters. But she hated that she never got a choice, was frightened of the responsibilities and other royals. Lucie was just a figurehead for the Suttons. She spoke for the weavers, but the Suttons were the weavers. She may occupy the spot on the royal circle, but it was her mother who controlled the seat whenever power could be gleaned from it. But when the royal circle was under duress or the work boring, the Suttons would be happy to ignore the fact that Lucie was there at all. MINOR CHARACTERS Shari Izumi

quick save for me Daryn AshwoodHouse of Swans
Physical Description: Light skinned and fair, Daryn’s complexion isn’t too far from the feathers of the swan - who his Pillar owes their namesake to. His hair is blonde and downy, with it always been groomed and kept at a neat length just at the nape of his neck. However dainty his hair may be, though, his build is far from it. Broad shouldered and fairly muscular, he’s the complete opposite of the lean, scrawny teenager he once was. The underside of his feet, as well as his palms and fingers are hardened - children of the blisters he received as a result of the misadventures of his childhood. The man has a charming smile, as well as chocolate brown eyes - pool of honey in the sunshine. He wears a small locket on his neck at all times; inside, is a depiction of two young boys, one fair haired and the other with hair the color of fresh earth after rainfall - an image of him and his late brother, Silas. On his right ankle, he has the tattoo of a singular rose - lacking the blood red and vibrant green coloring, but rather, depicted merely in black and white.
Personality: Daryn is never one to miss an adventure; in fact, it’s what he fears most. He’s a firm believer in “living life to the fullest”, though he struggles with pinpointing exactly what that means to him at times. He’s certainly what one would consider a “social butterfly”, living to make sure he can make at least acquaintance with most, if not all, of the people he comes across. Daryn is certainly a charmer - selective with his words, and confident as they come out of his mouth. His confidence can come off as arrogant as some - something he struggles with tremendously due to his nature being to be a people pleaser. Despite being acquainted with many, when it comes to those that he grows closer with, Daryn protects them with a fierce loyalty, reminiscent of that of a wolf. He prefers to show the world an unflawed version of himself, unbothered and carefree - though he gets hurt easily and prefers to just shrug or laugh things off. He alters his image to fit whoever he’s trying to please, and because of it, struggles with knowing who he really is. Self genuity is something he feels he lacks.
Background: When people hear Ashwood, their first thought is certainly not the usually associated with the members of the House of Swans. Daryn and his brother, Silas, in having the Ashwood name, are direct descendants of Aila and Jeremy Ashwood - royals who hailed from the pillar of the Weavers and the pillar of the Silo respectively. Though generations had passed, the commonfolk and the working class certainly seemed to uphold their respect for the Ashwoods. However, there are secrets that have been buried for centuries. Namely, the bloodline of the Desrosier’s - the former monarchs who ruled before the time of the grand shift in power - still continues on, and Daryn is a product of it. It’s a secret closely guarded by the House of Swans, and not one known by many. In order to avoid being traced, mothers carrying a childline of the bloodline often have their children in the shadows; yet, once they’ve endured the pain of childbirth, all they have to show for it is having to hand off their newborn to a different set of parents. However, all Desrosier’s are linked by a tradition that never let itself die - they are all tattooed on their right ankle with a singular, monochromatic rose. Daryn’s brother, Silas, with whom he had grown up, had always been curious about the floral marking on his brother’s ankle. He was poisoned unexpectedly one day, though, which is when Daryn adopted his mantra to always live life to the fullest. MINOR CHARACTERS Alyssia CaswellHouse of Swans
Physical Description: In her early twenties, Alyssia stands at 5’4, with an overall dainty frame. Her skin is that of a honeyed brown, while her eyes are a blue-green reminiscent of sea glass. They’re speckled with gray as well - ashes of a fire longing to be lit again. She’s adorned with long, wavy hair, which is shaded a blonde so light that it’s practically silver.
Personality: Alyssia can’t deal with the aspect of getting hurt by another - not physically, of course, if a fight was destined to happen, it had to happen - but rather, emotionally. Giving another that much control of her thoughts is not something that she yearns for, though she does long to be in love - two very much conflicting agendas. In truth, Alyssia can be quite stuck up or entitled. She values her heritage greatly, and feels as though the world should too, just as much as she does. Though she’s sharp witted and the guards she puts up for herself makes her come off as cold at first, Alyssia is certainly one to get attached quickly. She likes to think of herself as a good friend, though she can sometimes unknowingly be selfish. She’s not the best at thinking before she speaks, but can recognize when she’s said the wrong thing quite quickly.
Background: Alyssia believes that she is the direct descendant of a mother who hailed from the House of Swans, and a father from the Army of the Osprey. And how could she not? That was all that she was told as a young girl. The prestige of being born to such a heritage is what makes her so prideful - a product of nothing but nobility, in her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, though, the reality of her bloodline was that there was never anyone born as a product of royalty hailing from the House of Swans and the Army of the Osprey; in fact, neither of those Pillars can be found in any of her ancestry at all. In reality, Alyssia’s bloodline should never have existed at all. She was a product of the royal from the pillar of the Prison of Sands having a child with a nonroyal. Not much is currently known about the woman who began Alyssia’s bloodline, just that she never was selected to represent a Pillar. In fact, Alyssia’s family was only able to grow up in the House of Swans due to the lie that shrouds the Caswell bloodline about the people who began it. Alyssia and her entire family are included in those subject to believing that lie.
