Neith Heiwa is the son of Lillith Trombetta and Isabella Heiwa, born into Salsola but raised primarily at the Salsolan outpost in Portland. Biologically born to two witches, Neith has been assumed to have more supernatural susceptibility than the average man; as a result, he has made a career for himself focusing on the real and tangible, and has emerged as a self-taught doctor of some esteem.
While part of a caravan from the outpost to Salsola in January 2017, he was tangled up with the start of the Second Boreas Conflict and remained with the pack proper after the war was won. Neith has become increasingly disillusioned to the culture of Salsola due to several Salsolan-inflicted incidents, including the questionable death of his mother by a packmate; the usurpation of his rank by a man who would later serve as the pack's second-in-command; accidents and mistreatment of several relatives, including the suspected murder of his sister and closest confidante; the suspicious affections of a witch and her dead brother; and two wars. As a result, Neith has turned quietly but viciously traitorous against his homeland, going as far as faking the death of a Salsolan child to "free" the boy from the Kingdom's clutch and influence.
A doctor and self-taught master of first aid and anatomy, he lived in Salsola for a long while and ran a small health clinic out of his home before moving back to the Salsolan outpost in 2019. He returned to Salsola proper following the death of his mother in July 2020, and despite planning only for a temporary stay, various unexplained reasons seem to have convinced him to stick around longer term.
Neith was voted "Worst Luck" in the 2017 Yearbook and "Most Likely to be Cursed" in the 2018 Yearbook.

1. Appearance
1.1 Basics | ||
OverviewA wolf-dominant hybrid, Neith is a handsome and gallant man, more or less the closest one can probably get to being an actual bishounen on 'Souls. Lacking anything beyond the minimum muscle tone, Neith's overall presentation screams scholar, as he is always well-dressed, clean, and noble in appearance and clothing choices. Tall and quite pretty to look at when calm or off-guard, Neith typically maintains a somewhat intense aura in a mental sense, but is as physically unintimidating as the day is long. His fine and wavy hair is grown out long and typically held back in a low ponytail, and has a few natural streaks of the silvers from his pelt. |
GearPresents as clean, well-kept, well-dressed, and gentlemanly without fail, but shies away from overt displays of wealth or power in clothing. Often carries his rapier sheathed at his belt, particularly when out and alone. Prefers earthy colors and simple textures over showy extravagance, and generally doesn't wear jewelry. Hooded garments are often preferred and worn with the hood up on particularly sunny days or days when his headaches are bad. Doesn't wear armor of any kind. Often carries a satchel of medical supplies and books. Clothing is pristine and kept well-hemmed and patched up when and where necessary. Clothing & Accessories
Scars
FormsBuilt for stamina, if anything; willowy if not a little twiggy in all forms. Little muscle. Stays in Optime form.

|
Heterosexual and monogamous. A respectful and sentimental man, Neith has in the past had the sad tendency to fall a little for anyone who showed enough interest in him. As he has grown older and observed friends become lovers and lovers become parents, Neith has wanted less and less for children of his own... but he finds himself lonely just the same. SpiritualityAcknowledges ghosts and witchery, but tries to steer clear of these things as much as possible due to some questionable past experiences. Prefers and trusts things visible and real, for example trial and error treating with herbs over prayer. |
Neith has seen and been through a lot regarding the pack he was born into. Wars, usurpation, captivity, lies, murder—Salsola has more than fallen from grace in his eyes, and yet despite years of talking about breaking free, Neith has not. In some personally dangerous and warped way, Neith sees his ongoing membership as waiting for an opportunity to be a hero, but in actuality, he's just a big ol' coward probably with some messed-up victim complex. He knows his lies and quiet rebellion will catch up with him, but he [stupidly] thinks he'll manage to get himself somewhere safe by then. He also steers clear of witchcraft, and tends to stay home on especially bright and sunny days especially in winter, as these trigger migraines. But that's less cOoL and dRaMaTic. |

4. Residence
Currently living in "temporary" housing as his old small clinic needs some clean up and he's only staying "temporarily" in SL. :I
Neith lives alone within a small, single-story stone home at the heart of The Ruins in Salsola. It is a tidy but private residence, with ivy descending some of its external walls and most of its windows and internal doorways curtained off with found materials.
Note: Crossed out features are currently missing/yet to be obtained. Other features are currently unusable and undergoing repairs over time, but are listed here for reference. The status of features here is considered accurate at the time of reading!
- Main room: The front door is creaky but intact, and opens to a wide room with a broken table, broken chairs,
a beaten-up couch covered in furs and sheets, a firepit for very small fires. The main room has a number of counters and kitchen cabinets in the corner, almost all of which are falling apart or broken off the wall. A number of jars, candles, dishes, and other small objects line the fairly flat surfaces, one day to be placed inside the cabinets once fixed. - Bedroom: Neith sleeps on a large old mattress littered with furs and sheets to the point that the mattress becomes comfortable again. He has a closet in the corner filled with clean, fancy clothing,
as well as a broken standing mirror. - Study: Extremely homey, and clearly where Neith spends most of his time. Neith uses a desk in the corner, which is covered in books, papers, and sketches at all times but kept fairly neat. He has two bookcases,
a pile of furs for reclining, a bear's pelt, and the standing bones of an optime skeleton in the corner, held upright using a rod and very roughly kept together with a system of holes drilled into the bones and detachable string or found wires to connect them. The skeleton changes arrangement by the day (and is, for the record, usually arranged wrong) as Neith studies it, and the whole thing hangs in place more than it does stand. Most of the smaller bones of the body are missing, or lined up on the ground like puzzle pieces. - Clinic: The clinic has an old twin mattress with a few dingy sheets and pillows, clearly scrubbed as well as Neith could manage to sanitize them. Most of the wall cabinets won't close or are falling off, but the floor cabinets in the corner are fairly intact; a number of jars and medical supplies line both the surface and the inside. The room also has a desk missing a leg, and a number of broken chairs in the corner.
- Storage: Once perhaps intended for a restroom, only a clawfoot tub used for wet storage and cabinets still remain. Items are piled everywhere, from hanging clothes to jars to linens and blankets.
- Outside: Neith maintains a small garden of medicinal herbs outside, and has flattened out some land for use of combat training. Behind the house is a ramshackle clothesline made of large branches and torn-up rags.
5. History
Neith Trombetta was born to high-ranking Salsolan mates Lillith Trombetta and Isabella Heiwa in October 2015, fathered by equally high-ranking Loki Jade Lykoi. Neith had one sister, Elektra Trombetta, with whom he shared a positive relationship, if not a minor rivalry. Boasting good looks and a powerful lineage, Neith grew up both loved and structured, with high standards for himself and others.
In later 2015 he traveled with his mother Isabella to the southern Salsolan outpost where he was better socialized and exposed to the outside world, though at the cost of extended separation from his other mother and sister; Neith began calling himself by the surname Heiwa out of habit for this reason. By late 2016, Neith began to experience headaches and recurring nightmares in which he saw spirits and faces he did not recognize, and after a particularly unsettling event in December, his mother began to consider returning him to Salsola up north to get his bearings back.
