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 has grown, Lacrimosa's frailty and inability to provide for herself in a harsh dog-eat-dog world have become 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 House 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.

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.

• 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.

• 3 on the Kinsey Scale: "Equally heterosexual and homosexual."
  • Lacrimosa is unlikely to seek out flings or one night stands - she derives sexual interest only in those with whom she already has a romantic or social connection. For her, physical desire is closely linked to already having a foundation of understanding with another person.
  • Lacrimosa fears romantic/sexual rejection on the basis of her appearance and physical weaknesses. She is unlikely to be the instigator in a romantic situation.
  • Any interest expressed in her by others will likely be met with skepticism. She has a deep understanding that her blood connection to royalty is sought-after by those with great ambition, and believes this to be the motivation for any would-be suitors.

• 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 Lacrimosa's parents have ties to the occult. Her mother is a witch and spiritual leader of Salsola's Coven in the absence of a Crone. Her 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 have had a great impact on her spiritual beliefs.
