Hi there! Thank you for checking out my carrd. There's a few important things to go over if you're considering interacting with this creature of mine.

  pilot.     please be over the age of 21+ when engaging with this character and myself. i am an adult well over that age and due to the themes that my character are involved with, i am most comfortable with that age range.  style.     i am a multi-para writer. there are a lot of poetic themes and symbolism used in my writing. if you ever have any questions or want for clarity regarding my prose, please ask! i'd be happy to clear the air.  communication.     please communicate with me regarding plot themes, issues, etc. this character has a lot of secrets and i would rather those things not be metagamed into existence and/or any potential problems be left untouched. if we don't talk / write for awhile, i clean my light(s) and FL's a lot so no hard feelings.  behavior.     common sense, keep ic and ooc separate. i'm all the more happy to make friends, just don't be super weird off rip!! any uncomfortable behaviors will be communicated and boundaries broken will cut interactions. i have no tolerance for this.

ask about rp even if i don't have my tag on!

  themes.   please know that prolonged interactions with this character will inevitably delve into dark/mature themes. they are heavily intertwined with this character and if you have any concerns, communicate those asap.  ?.     her intentions are usually selfish.
  ?.     she is an observer .. a cheshire if you will.
  ?.     she could be a friend, a foe, the good influence or the bad.
  ?.    crow will invade personal spaces. if this is a trigger for you, please let me know.  lore.   i am not strict with lore, but more aligned with lore bending. however i prefer not to engage with wols or existing npcs. as for everything else, there's a whimsical touch to things without an overpowered nature. i indulge in the creativity and the possibility of more for fun, rather than not.

  contact.     in-game and discord roleplay is welcomed. feel free to poke me regarding RP as i'm usually never tagged up in public but i am more than welcome to do so! i'm usually multi-tasking so shoot a tell my way and we can muse some ideas!i prefer to discord exchange once we've spoken enough ooc and i know you're not weird. :)

  the bird.   she is a lonely thing with feathers stitched to flesh and scale as a means of recreating wings. her beak is crooked and it causes her smile to twist unnaturally. her eyes are always squinting, always crescents with the faintest gleam of the most distant star. despite her talons she cradles everything she holds as if it were her most precious. she loves it all.
  the moth.   she is distant, sickly and ever withering. drawn to the brightest flame and the warmest touch, she burns. beautiful things are held dear in her hands, something she wishes to eat; to become whole with. dust covers one's eyes and silk wraps them tight. she could never let go.
  the snake.   she is vile and her voice is velvet. her tongue tastes the essence of one's dreams and their wants; what one holds dear, she wishes to swallow whole. she has never felt love nor kindness and it has birthed a maw of fangs and venom. she can't help but bite.

who could ever love a thing like that?

"you .. and only you."

  ?.     the left eye is often veiled by bandage, or an eyepatch.
  ?.     her flesh is white as porcelain and her scales pearlescent.
  ?.     the lantern hanging overhead is ominous, housing a blue flame.
  ?.     there is magic all over her, written as though her skin were paper.

death's beacon.

common.

a lantern hangs by a set of chains at the end of a black staff. a curious thing, the way it houses a flame of blue that seems to be the source of those many, many little friends of hers. a conduit, one can assume, but also a radar for anomalies. in one's presence -- it brightens.

moths to flame.

common.

the star hasn't been so kind to you, has it? you've felt torment, death, perhaps even bloodied your own hands. whatever the case, you are left with spiraling emotions. and a beautiful flame like that can't go unnoticed; it can't go to waste. you'll share it with us, won't you?

a little magic goes a long way.

common.

might you be in need of a mage? few and fewer open their hearts to a helping hand, but it seems you're just in luck. there seems to be one willing to assist in the endeavors of man --- for a fee. be it the undoing of accursed seals, a pest problem, or something more -- why not take her wing?

will o' the wisp.

uncommon.

born with a gift; this little bird is never alone. the dead and dying reach for her light and cling to a plane that has abandoned them. anomalies and the void alike cannot help but be drawn to a fountain of fullness and glittering blues. there is familiarity .. desperation .. and freedom.

a cage is all i know.

uncommon.

this magus is well acquainted with steel bars and iron shackles. there was a time when pretty things belonged in cages; where magic had served nothing but entertainment for full-bellied fools. she bears the mark. once a prisoner, now free with fading bruises -- old habits die hard. might you have known that trade? perhaps even suffered it yourself?

uninvited company.

uncommon.

you search for solace, for sanctuary amidst the quiet where voices cannot find you. whether you're running or hiding from something .. the sound of fluttering wings burden you still. you're not alone, you never were. there is still value in you ---- friend.

death is merely the beginning.

rare

who's to say what is dead cannot be useful? those who are dead and dying .. those who are so quickly forgotten -- they are loved. flesh can satiate; blood can nourish. what is left behind can be born anew in the growth of leaves or the sprout of wings. will you witness it? rebirth.

sweet dreamer.

rare.

you've seen her before. when your eyes close and dreams take you, she lurks in the corners of your mind. a dark silhouette.. a gentle laugh.. the brush of lips against your skin.. or the violent coil of thread-like hair. she invades like a parasite. why is it that this woman plagues you so?
