Anactoria Cersine

mNPCs:

Anactoria Cersine is a member of the Family, living in Salsola. Her sponsor was Evelyn de le Ulrich

She was born in The Coven of Salem? to the Queen of Witches, Lilura Cersine. Anactoria's grandmother, Ajak Cersine is the Crone of the Coven. As the daughter of the Queen, she was afforded many luxuries. The Coven was a civilized, female-led group with their roots stemming from witches and priests fleeing persecution.

At the age of five months, Anactoria accidentally ingested mushrooms. She had a vision of a blood-red moon with blue eyes opening. She awoke in her Secui form to her grandmother alone in the healer's hut. In tears, she spoke of the prophecy and her grandmother told her to keep the vision a secret, lest it not come true.

As she grew up, she interpreted the vision to mean that she would become Queen, that it was her destiny. She trained hard to be worthy of the title, becoming a priestess and taking up craftswork and trading.

But on the night of a blood-red moon, Anactoria's life did not go to plan. Her mother gave birth to a daughter of red and white fur with green eyes. Her parentage wasn't hard to figure out nor was it difficult to predict the pup's eye color. Ajak announced that this pup was the heir apparent of the Coven, claiming she received a vision before the pup's birth of a blood moon and green eyes opening. Anactoria was enraged, screaming that it was her prophecy and it was blue eyes, not green eyes. Ajak declared the woman a false prophetess and the other witches turned on her.

Anactoria was cast from her Coven and she traveled until she came to Nova Scotia. After making an impression upon Evelyn de le Ulrich, she was told to bring a gift for her eventual joining. Anactoria brought three gifts and she was accepted into Salsola in mid January.

Anactoria was born in a coven of witches. The coven, known as The Coven of Salem had been around for generations. Their founders took over an abandoned town in a forest and since then the Coven has grown since then. Due to their closeness to the coast and a trading port, witches of all backgrounds found their way to the Coven, bringing with them their own practices, gods, and languages. The Coven was composed of mostly women, though there were very few men. A caravan of witches would often make the journey to the trading port to trade surplus, skills, and crafts. They captured or traded for slaves, preferring the Non-Luperci ones to transform them.

Anactoria was born to a woman named Lilura Cersine, the Queen of Witches and daughter to the Crone, Ajak. She was the only child in the Coven as the other witches were not allowed to bear children unless given the blessing of the Crone. Anactoria grew up surrounded by other witches, given only the best education and gifts the heir to the throne deserved. At the age of five months, she accidentally consumed mushrooms and had visions of the moon turning red and of blue eyes. The shock caused her to shift early. She came to in her Secui form in the healer’s den, crying about the blood moon and blue eyes to her Grandmother. Ajak told her to keep the dream a secret as it wouldn’t come true if others knew.

As she got older, she took the vision as a sign she would become queen one day, perhaps on the night of a blood moon. She trained hard for it. She learned what she could from anyone willing to teach her. She learned as much as she could to be worthy of the title of Queen. She found her love for crafting. She even purchased a Non-Luperci slave when she was a year and a half, transforming him with her blood. She thought with patience and hard work, she would become Queen and perhaps even Crone. She gained two crows named Heather and Saffron whom she trained to spy for her, learning Low-Speech and teaching them High-Speech.

When Anactoria was three, her mother bore another child on the night of a blood-red moon. A daughter with bewitching green eyes and of silver and red fur. It was rumored the girl’s father was one of the male warriors of the Coven, a powerful man named Dagon. The Crone declared that this child was the foretold heir apparent, claiming she had been the one to dream of a child born on a blood-red moon with green eyes. Anactoria was outraged, screaming that it had been her who dreamed of the blood moon and blue eyes opening. The Crone declared the former heiress a liar and claimed Anactoria was planning on usurping her mother tonight. Anactoria was exiled, taking what she could but having her slave taken from her.
