Indra Winters (née Revlis) is one of two Salsolan princesses born of a union between the pack’s former Lord Commander, Lokr Revlis, and its Gamekeeper, Osrath Eternity; the truth is not quite so clean cut as that however, for while her sister Elphaba Revlis is truly her father’s daughter, Indra is the result of a long-standing love affair between their mother and Dullahan Eternity.

Following the death of her second partner (and wife), Lilia Salcedo, in the spring of 2022, Indra appears to have been lost completely to the wilds surrounding Portland, although it's worth noting that she makes herself useful by hunting and subsequently replenishing the pack's stores with the fruits of her labors.

1.  Characteristics

1.1  Appearance

Physical Description
  • General
Of relatively average height and overall build, Indra appears almost innocuous at first glance. The only real note worth mentioning is her complete heterochromia, with one eye (left) being a pale blue-green and the other completely silver (right).
Her obvious relation to Osrath — sometimes referred to as the most beautiful woman in the North — cannot be understated; though she lacks the acerbic green eyes which made her mother famous, she possesses the same otherworldly beauty but attempts (and fails, often) to downplay or minimize this entirely. Not one to focus on appearances, it has never even crossed her mind to wear a dress or otherwise accentuate her more feminine features. During her years spent in Portland she put on more weight (though much of this has been converted to muscle during the last three-quarters of 2022).
  • Optime Hair: Long, white, and slightly wavy; sometimes pulled back in a ponytail and adorned with a gold circlet.
  • Humanization:
Average; makes use of tools and weapons in addition to wearing armor on an as-needed basis, but is just as frequently found running amuck in her secui form.
  • Forms:
Beneath a thick double coat courtesy of her primarily wolf-dog lineage, however, her shoulders are slightly broad and her muscles are wiry, lending credibility to the fact that she is, above all else, an incredible athlete. Almost completely wolf in appearance, the only hint of her dog heritage is the pale feathering along her stomach, tail, and throat. While not the fastest or the strongest in overall appearance, she is a tour de force when endurance comes into play.
Bears a striking resemblance to her grandfather's brother, Baratheon Winters.
  • Lupus: 80 lbs (36.28 kg) ↔ 33 in (83.82 cm)
  • Secui: 155 lbs (70.30 kg) ↔ 45 in (114.3 cm)
  • Optime: 205 lbs (97.5 kg) ↔ 6ft 2in (193 cm)
  • Other Features:
    • JAN 2017: She has a bunch of tattoos going down her spine, though they're mostly faded now: a modified Hand of Eris (Salsola), spiral (Eternity), stylized stag head (Winters), ouroboros (Revlis), and a raven footprint (Badb).
    • FEB 2017: One large scar that starts halfway down her left shoulder blade and ends along the outer curve of her collar bone.
    • OCT 2017: A scar that curves over her left hip, sustained during the Battle of Drifter Bay.
    • MISCELLANEOUS: Multiple small cuts and nicks on her hands.

Quirks
  • Speech: Indra has a bracing voice — like she doesn’t use it often — and has a slightly European accent of indeterminate origin. In addition to this, she speaks with little-to-no inflection. Fluent in English, German, Gaelic, Spanish, and French with fluidity. She is capable of mimicking foreign accents on an as-needed basis.
  • Scent: Salsola, marshy, earthy. de le Poer, Eternity, Salcedo, Winters.
    • Note: Indra disguises her Salsolan scent (masking it with crushed pine needles, bog laurel, and woodsmoke) when outside its borders.
  • Physical Expression and Quirks:
    • Minimally expressive; looks for obvious submission in others, i.e., lowering the body, folding ears, tucking tail, etc.
    • Very efficient and quiet, Indra walks with a heel-to-toe step, though her overall bearing radiates a possibility of hostility and an acceptance for violence.

1.2  Personality

Overview

Considered aloof, cold, or otherwise 'odd' by many, Indra's enigmatic nature comes into focus when one realizes she exhibits all of the hallmark traits of someone with aspergers syndrome: lack of social awareness, disinterest in socializing or making friends, difficulty making and sustaining friendships, the inability to infer the thoughts, feelings, or emotions of others, and gazing too intently.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In velit nunc, sagittis nec ultrices nec, porttitor sit amet orci. Sed eleifend turpis volutpat posuere tempor. Vivamus eleifend magna sed pretium egestas. Donec lacinia eros at elit fermentum, nec pharetra urna blandit. Proin vel elit nec nulla consequat ullamcorper. Nullam at consequat tellus. Etiam posuere commodo fermentum.

Traits
Interests
  • Likes: Stargazing, combat, carving and whittling, hunting, solitude.
  • Dislikes: Conversation, distractions, reading/writing/scholarly pursuits (due to dyslexia), nosiness.
Fears and Motivations
  • Fears:
    • Having failed to keep her sister from falling into the grips of madness, Indra has found a new fear in losing any more of her children.
    • As an athlete and soldier of some repute, being unable to physically act or permanently losing the use of a limb would be a tremendous blow to the former soldier. To say this is a fear, however, greatly overstates the amount of thought that goes into the matter and constitutes anxiety; beyond acknowledging this fact, Indra very rarely gives it more than a passing thought.
  • Values:
    • Despite all signs pointing to the contrary, Indra is deeply invested in the continuing growth, prosperity, and overall wellbeing of her children.
Sexuality

Indra is bisexual and has no preference, for she's loved and lost both a man and a woman in her lifetime. She has little-to-no interest in begetting heirs or furthering her bloodline due to the incestuous relationship between her parents. After losing both Ros O'Sionna and Lilia Salcedo, however, Indra has closed this door in its entirety.

Vices
  • Biases: Based on Salsola's cultural biases.
  • Vices: Has a strong aversion to alcohol and mind-altering substances due to the fact that they tend to dull her otherwise sharp senses. Greatly prefers adrenaline rushes and the high that comes from dangerous situations.
Motivation(s)

While not necessarily loving its people — for she finds them uncanny and deceitful, oftentimes working against each other to reach the same ends — Indra loves the land Salsola has claimed, and sometimes acts as its mighty steward; owing little allegiance to the crown, she patrols from the salt shore to the shadows at the base of the Halycon, and will defend the Thistle Kingdom unto the death.

On a more personal note, her nuclear family are her chiefest concern and primary motivator, specifically her children and her sister.

Spirituality

While not religious, Indra is spiritual on some level. This is due in some part to encountering her half-brother Maugrim as a youth. She is largely resistant to the powers and abilities of spirits, perhaps because of others' belief that Morrigan, the Macha Tribe's patron goddess, has laid a heavy hand on her.

Knowledgable on the subjects of Khalifism and the Coisricthe religion as well as a number of Salsolan rituals, but doesn't put any stock into them.

2.  Relationships

2.1  Family

Extended
* through adoption, though she considers them her own children.
** unaware of any full-blooded siblings.
*** many of Indra's nuclear relationships overlap due to her parents' incestuous relationship. It's more of a family wreath than a family tree.
  • Parents: Considering that Indra has tried to kill both Osrath and Dullahan on at least one occasion, you could say their relationship is somewhat strained.
  • 'Adopted' Parent(s): The closest familial relationship Indra ever had was with her so-called father, Lokr, and both his betrayal and subsequent banishment from Salsola are injuries she cannot forget or forgive.
  • Siblings:
    • Elphaba Revlis is technically her half-sister, but they were raised alongside each other and she considers them to be full-blooded sisters in her heart; that being said, she's not entirely convinced anymore than her sister actually loves her (or if she ever actually did).
    • Antigone and Voltaire Eternity are — through the circumstances of their birth — a threat to her, and she will treat them accordingly.
  • Half-Siblings:
    • O'Riley Eternity's skill as a warrior has earned some begrudging respect from Indra, but she nonetheless despises him for his closeness (and subsequent mateship) to her sister and for no other reason than because she can.
  • Grandparents:
    • Her relationship(s) with Salvia Eternity and Stannis de le Poer aren't (or, in her grandfather's case, weren't) as strained as with her parents; nonetheless, Salvia's failure to intervene when Osrath sent her to Airgid Gleann paired with her obvious preference for her sister, Elphaba, has left a long-lasting, bitter taste in her mouth.
  • Extended Relationships:
    • Indra has never shown a great interest or level of care in maintaining relationships beyond her immediate, nuclear family.

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies

Multilingualism — Variable

In addition to English (or 'common tongue', as it is sometimes called), Indra can make herself understood in German, Italian, and Spanish with relative ease due to their cultural influence within Salsola; over the years, she has grown less proficient (due to lack of use) in French and Gaelic.

  • German (Master)
  • Italian (Master)
  • Spanish and/or Portugeuse (Journeyman)
  • French (Apprentice [out of practice])
  • Gaelic (Apprentice [out of practice])

Notable Weaknesses

Reading and Writing:

  • Her parents made a great efforts to teach her how to read and write as a youth, but they were almost entirely ineffectual. Indra cannot read or write, as she is dyslexic and easily frustrated by her own foils. As such, she must rely on others to read things aloud and take dictation.

Politics:

  • The realm where Indra is weakest, and she knows it. A self-labelled separatist that still maintains pack ties only because she feels she must, Indra is extremely vulnerable to the machinations of others. Having very few values to begin with, Indra is nonetheless able to compartmentalize extremely well; this is to avoid any chance of cognitive dissonance, and made all the much easier by her overall lack of genuine emotion. Instead of black and white, she sees a world that is completely grey, and rarely agrees or disagrees with something save for the fact that it exists or is a thing.

3.2  Residence and NPCs

Where does she come from, where does she go, na na na, cotton-eye Joe.

Tamerlane

  • Species: High-Content Quarab (1/6th Mongolian Horse)
  • Age and DOB: 11 years / April 2011
  • Description: Pure white.
    • Gear includes a black leather bridle with copper pieces, which once belonged to her mother's mother, Osrath Eternity. A plush, black blanket padded with fur serves as a saddle.
  • Personality: For reasons unknown, Fingal is a mean horse; despite being gelded, he dislikes other horses — particularly stallions — and will frequently bite even familiar Luperci. Clementine is perhaps the single exception to this rule, and only because she knows he's a mean bastard. Loves to run more than anything else in the world, and is fond of carrots.
  • Skills:
    • Was trained briefly by Osrath Eternity, and was involved in her program to train warhorses. He is desensitized to blood and spooking, but not strong enough to carry an armed rider.
    • Shows great promise as a horse intended for swift travel or delivering messages.

Sahar

  • Species: Irish Sport Horse
  • Age and DOB: 10 years / July 2012
  • Description: Sporting the normative black plummage of his species, Aberdeen has recovered nicely after a period of abuse by a previous owner. Slightly larger than average due to his captivity and free access to food.
  • Personality: A fast and agile flier, Aberdeen is a preener who comes off as arrogant or even presumptuous. He is nonetheless very food motivated, and expects to be rewarded for, well, just about everything.
  • Skills:
    • Has been trained to deliver and otherwise carry messages, but is easily confused when it comes to new recipients/locations and must meet them first.
    • Frequently used as a 'scout' while traveling; due to his noisy nature, he seems to enjoy warning Clementine (and her companions) of forthcoming dangers.

3.3  Inventory

Offered Goods

  • Bone needles.
  • Items her mom has 'acquired'.
  • Select items from Onuba
  • Salsolan trade items such as nose rings, assorted pelts, whale oil, etc.
  • In addition to physical goods, Clementine can teach Portugese and some Italian, though would be reluctant with the latter.

Requested Goods

  • Assorted favors or information (secrets, IOU's, trade intel, etc.).
  • Books for Salsola's Library.
  • Medicinal items, pots and pans, pine tar, pine pitch, weapons, farming equipment (hoes, scythes, etc.), horse gear, etc.

4.  History

I. An Idyllic Youth Interrupted

A spirited youth raised in Salsola’s Portland outpost during her formative months, much of Clementine’s time — and, by extension, her siblings’ — was spent causing minor mischief along the seaside, with Clem often acting as the group’s defacto ringleader. It was during this time that she also began learning some small skills, either by watching her parents or bothering others.

It was during her first winter that tragedy struck the Salcedo-Winters family. During a routine adventure with her littermate, Magnus, Clem fell through the ice of a nearby pond, nearly drowning. The stress of the situation forced her brother to shift, enabling him to save her at the cost of his own life. This, along with the departure of childhood friends (most notably Aurelion and his sister Wisteria) led to grief and depression, ultimately resulting in her mothers agreeing it would be beneficial for her to leave the Outpost for Salsola.

After being formally accepted by her 'aunt', Elphaba, the redhead became something of a ward to the older Revlis woman, as well as apprenticing underneath her in areas such as scholarship, manipulation, and other subjects.

II. Rising Ambitions

During the spring and summer months, Clementine spent much of her newfound freedom exploring not only Salsola, but the lands surrounding it, making only very infrequent trips back to Portland to see her family. During this time she rose fairly quickly through the ranks of her pack, swiftly entering the central ring and a place of relative trust. It was during mid-to-late summer that she discovered her uncle, Lilia’s brother, was a member of a local loner band, The Troupe, and began visiting them semi-frequently.

Due perhaps to the influence of her biological aunt, Morgana, it came as little surprise when she put her social skills to use and made it clear that her path forward would be as a merchant and ambassador, earning her the job of Mercante in early fall. It was around this time that Clem also made it known the lengths to which she was willing to go for status, for after a discussion with her friend — and the pack’s Director – Brocade that she usurped his niece, joining the elite upper class as an Arbiter.

Not long after, her mother came to Salsola to scold her for this, and made it clear she intended to stay.
