Viridian Rose Soul (briefly known as Wither Rose Soul) is a member of Casa di Cavalieri, formerly of New Caledonia.
Born on her family's farm at the cusp of a harsh winter, she grew up in the shadow of her three brothers, all of which quickly designated her as the resident punching bag. This led her to learn to fend for herself and rival them in typically 'masculine' roles, quickly establishing herself as the breadwinner of their family unit — vehemently against her mother's wishes, who wanted her only daughter to be of a certain, feminine disposition. Eventually, the turbulent household became too much to bear, and whilst visiting her uncle Jandro in 'Souls, she decided to stay there, abandoning her birth name and fashioning a newer, edgier one for herself: Wither Rose. Her mother and brothers were none the wiser, and she hopes they don't look for her, because she certainly doesn't miss them.
After weaving through 'Soulsland aimlessly, a tumble down a hillside left her with a twisted ankle; after hearing talk of a nearby "kingdom," she approached them for aid. What was meant to be a brief stay ended up in her joining the pack. Now a Caledonian proper, Wither reckoned she might as well pull her own weight, and she has worked predominantly as a huntress on their behalf.
More recently, she has come to find her niche in more questionable territory, and her growing dependence on alcohol and various substances to get through the day is beginning to show itself in worrisome ways. After entering a toxic relationship with Rand Coara, her alcoholism took a turn for the worst, aided by the Priest's flagrant disregard of her feelings or aspirations. After months of sleeping with and being egged on by him, fueled by booze and weed, Wither lashed out at Rand and very nearly took his life, where she was then sent to the Underthing while the Valar could decide her fate.
She was given the opportunity to leave under the condition she would could never return. So, she did. Leaving the problematic "Wither Rose" moniker behind in New Caledonia, Viridian now seeks to drudge her life out of the dark hole she has dug for herself — or at the very least drink her problems away, if she scrounges together enough alcohol.
Overview |
Viridian is very clearly a hybrid, though her coyote heritage shines through the rest of her muddied blood. She is built to last, fairly muscular and tall, and she is mostly found in her Optime form. Her fur is of an average thickness, perhaps a tad thin, and it is somewhat smooth and glossy. Her Optime mane is thick and curly, but oftentimes it is pinned back in a messy bun. Really, she isn't bad-looking, but Viri doesn't put much thought into her appearance. She often has brambles and twigs stuck in her fur, and her hair can appear a frightful, knotted mess. Forms

Summary |
tl;dr: a walking disaster in the making. Bold and brash, Viridian has the capacity to be about as lovely as old nickname. She is horribly self-centered unless she kind of likes you, in which case, she's a fast friend. Nevertheless, she's cripplingly self-assured and eager to prove herself to anything that moves that she's the best huntress in the world, amongst other things. She is likely to fall in and out of love on a whim, as well as partake in substances and the party lifestyle; she is unlikely to grow out of this with age. A dysfunctional upbringing means she has a reliance on these things to keep her going, and secretly, she wants the approval of her peers so she doesn't feel like as much of a screw-up. With an addictive personality and an unbeknownst knack for self-destruction, Viri regularly walks a tightrope between reality and her made-up fantasy world in which everything is fine and she definitely doesn't have a drinking problem. And a smoking problem. And a sex problem. Amongst other things. |

Motivations and Fears |
Wither is motivated by the pursuit of pleasure. That's... basically it. Sure, she wants to prove herself as a mighty huntress to everyone and anyone that'll hear her out, but just having a good time and forgetting the pressures of life tend to weigh out. She likes to think herself as fearless, but she's not. Recognizing that she may have a substance abuse problem scares her. Losing the few friends she has scares her. But she's definitely not scared of overdosing or blacking out, which she ought to be cautious about — her priorities are all over the place, unfortunately. |
Sexuality |
Heterosexual, but with bi-romantic leanings. Her type is big strong bois, but not so strong that they can push her around; she is likely to be an assertive lover. Open to flings, though she is somewhat guarded and careful not to confuse romance for sex after her relationship with Rand. Truthfully, she wants to find someone that actually cares about her and loves her for her, not for the sex, but she is too scared to even try at this point. |
Substances |
Her biggest vice, unfortunately. Viridian doesn't really know when to call it quits. She was known for wandering New Caledonia's City Square after-hours in a drunken stupor, and she has a penchant for dangerous cocktails of alcohol and marijuana and a few other smokables she's run into along the way. Her binge drinking and cross-fading activities indicate that she might be developing Alcohol Use Disorder or early signs of Substance Abuse Disorder concurrently. |
Spirituality |
Religion is kind of an afterthought; agnostic, more than likely, because religion was never a big thing in her household. Viridian has the vague concept of gods, but not specifics about any one deity. She heard about this guy called "Jesus Christ" from a drinking buddy once, and while she absolutely no idea who the hell he is, she often calls upon him in the form of an expletive. That's about as religious as she gets. |
3. Relationships
|
Viri saw very little of her merchant father (daddy issues, anyone?), but she is not overly fond of her mother nor her brothers. Between her mother's unreasonably high expectations and her siblings' constant harassment, there's little wonder as to why she acted out so terribly in her youth. Still, she does miss them to an extent now that they're not around. Generally speaking, she's much more soft on her uncle. |
