Lacrimosa Helsi is a young hybrid. She is a member of Salsola, where she was born and raised.

She is the firstborn child of Elphaba Revlis and O'Riley Eternity, the leaders of Salsola, and a littermate to Bryagh Revlis and Polaris Eternity.

From birth, and owing to a number of genetic and developmental abnormalities, Lacrimosa experienced chronic failure to thrive. Her physical maturation is considerably stunted in comparison to that of her littermates. As she grows, Lacrimosa's frailty and inability to provide for herself in a harsh dog-eat-dog world becomes increasingly apparent - it is strikingly evident that she would not be able to survive without the societal support of a large and thriving pack structure, and the patronage of a royal family there-in.

In spite of her body's weaknesses, Lacrimosa's mind is incredibly sharp. It is with this exceptional tool that she confronts her continued existence, in all its supposedly abhorrent abnormality.

1.  Characteristics

1.1  Appearance

Physical

It is immediately evident that Lacrimosa is not a healthy and physically well-developed luperci. Owing to multiple undetermined genetic issues, complications during pregnancy and birth, and recessive mutations due to a historic lineage of inbreeding, Lacrimosa is a warped shadow of her siblings' hearty and hale appearances. She is notably small in stature, with unusual 'doll-like' proportions (a large head in proportion to her undersized body, short and delicate limbs). In all forms, she appears weak and malnourished. She has a heart-shaped, triangular head with a short muzzle and tapered ears, and a distinct overbite which reveals her two upper canine teeth over her lower lip (a common Revlis mutation).

Her colouring is overall ashy and desaturated, a grey Helsi throwback with a dark face and underbelly, and a light silvery topline. In winter this contrast becomes particularly stark, with her nape and spine appearing almost white. In optime form, her hair is a lank and thin silver-white.

Lacrimosa has heterochromia. Her right eye is a dark charcoal, almost black, making it difficult to distinguish the sclera from the pupil. Her left eye, which is also amblyopic, is a vibrant Helsi lavender.

Specifics

Forms: She is abnormally small given her parentage. Often hidden beneath copious garments for warmth and protection, her body is malnourished and frail in appearance.

  • Secui: --- in (--- cm) ↔ lbs (--- kg)
  • Optime: -- ft -- in (--- in / --- cm) ↔ lbs (--- kg) (Preferred)

Scars:

Describe their distinguishing scars – how did they get them (ex. cougar’s claws, training accident, received from Character?, etc.)

Tattoos & Piercings:

Describe their tattoos or piercings!

Interaction
  • Speech: Medium pitch. Her vocal chords easily wear, and will sound rough and raspy after speaking for any extended length of time.
    • Lacrimosa is fluent in German, and knows a few phrases of Italian
  • Unique Scent: Salsola (pine, salty, marshy), her family, fox, lynx.
  • Quirks: TBD
  • General Posture and Body Language: Withdrawn but observant. She attempts not to draw attention by remaining unnaturally still. Rarely loses composure, even when emotional or argumentative.

1.2  Personality

Summarized: Observant, Perceptive, Calculating, Philosophical, Mediatory, Weary, Lonely, Feigned, Bitter

Describe your character's personality! Are they social/anti-social, dominant/submissive, extroverted/introverted, optimistic/pessimistic, loud/quiet? Do they have they have any personality quirks? Are they particularly driven by something? Is there something they're absolutely terrified/biased of, maybe haunted by something in their past? Is there something notable about their character?

  • Motivations: To be worthy of survival, to exert control over others in an invisible way, to find higher meaning
  • Fears: Her body's worsening failure, mental illness, being completely socially outcast, a violent death, a godless world
  • Likes: Reading in the sun, people-watching, the loch, riddles
  • Dislikes: Social gatherings, medicinal smells, boot-lickers, loud storms
  • Alignment: True Neutral
    • Concerned predominantly with their own well-being and that of the group or organization which aids them.
    • Believes in 'lex talionis' forms of justice.
    • Tends to remain nonjudgmental and uncommitted to any moral, legal, or philosophical system beyond the basic tenets of their own society.
    • Will follow the law unless breaking it is in their best interest, and they're reasonably sure that they will not be caught.
    • Indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance their own interests.
Biases (Below are just a few common examples! Add/remove biases that apply to your character!)
  • Non-Luperci: Believes non-luperci to be of lower social and cultural influence, likens them to 'savages'.
  • Outsiders: The blanket term for anyone who does not belong to Salsola. Lacrimosa is frightened of the barbarism her pack's propaganda assigns to all beyond the thistle borders. She has a strong, and not un-founded, belief that Salsola and its influence is the only bastion in which her survival is secure.
Sexuality

Describe your character's sexuality here -- sexual orientation (e.g., heterosexual) isn't enough of a descriptor, by the way! How about their libido (their desire for sexual activity)? How promiscuous are they? Are they monogamous or polygamous? How do they go about obtaining sexual partners (are they a nervous approacher, or a giant flirt)?

Spirituality
  • Polytheistic
    • Brought up learning about the concepts of spiritualism, ghosts, gods, and their influence in the world. Lacrimosa believes that there are forces beyond those in the mortal world.
    • Both of Bryagh's parents have ties to the occult. His mother is a witch and member of Salsola's Coven. His father is the son of völva, and according to the Hearg Njorth lore is exceptionally magical himself.
    • The nanny who cares for Lacrimosa in her youth has strange connections to the Helsi? religion and practition. Her teachings deepen Lacrimosa's affiliation with this part of her ancestry, and will have a great impact on her later spiritual beliefs.
