Ravenna Winter

[Ravenna Winter]

Ravenna Winter Appearance Current Theme Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 19 Birthday: 53rd of Fall, 496AV. Birthplace: Sunberth Appearance: Brown shoulder length hair that flows around the sides of Ravenna's face, typically kept down, but on occassion she will have her hair pulled up. Her skin is white with olive overtones, and her eyes are a smouldering charcoal grey; accompanied by darkening circles. Standing at five feet and four inches tall, she has an average body frame leaning towards slim. She looks neither well fed, nor terribly starved though the markings of such are apparent underneath her clothing, weighing in at an uneasy 115lbs on average; it varies every season. Character Concept True to being born in her Sunberthian environment, Ravenna is an anarchist, and abhors most authority; not unlike the rest of her people, she does posess the hypocritical trait of falling in line when it benefits herself. Life is just how it is, and you have to make the best of that. Everything about Ravenna screams attitude, from her intensely burning gaze, to her confident demeanor and not so modest appearence. She is a sassy, fun loving, and foul mouthed young woman with a heart of gold not afraid to put a dagger in your back if you cross her one too many times. The city brings out the best and the worst of Ravenna, it is also her greatest reason to hide most emotions, and feelings, the slightest flicker of weakness and she may find herself in a worse off position: death would be a kinder fate. Putting aside wild appearences, underneath that burning wild fire there are the smouldering coals representing a tired individual, weary, and wary, of all, and any. Despite how young she looks, she has seen much already, and her true age shows in her eyes. Character History This is the story of a girl whom did not have the experience of a loving family, a stable environment, or the priviledge of predictable happenstances. Kind of a thing with Sunberth and all, the rampant debauchery, frequent murder, and unchecked con artists swindling you out of your last gold rimmed copper miza. Unexpected, and often times treacherous situations were always a thing for anyone, and kindly putting it that's what happened for Ravenna unsurprisingly. Dear little Ravenna Winter. Poor little girl, all alone, left in the orphanage by a lazy-good-for-nothing-ne're-do-well aunt after Mr. and Mrs. Winter faced rather untimely demises; again to not anyone's surprise. Death, if you will. Dira's peaceful, and yada, yada, yada-- loving embrace. What was even more comical, cosmical even, was that it happened on Ravenna's own birthday too! Gasp-- please! Yet worry not for the poor unfortuanate soul, asforementioned above, the young girl found a home among the nearly forgotten, tarnished, unwanted-- and also quite unfortuanate with all too familliar sad storied urchins. It was a difficult transition at first, not as hard as you might think, but it had its own trials. Ravenna did not get along with most of the other children, finding it trying to mingle with her peers, preyed on by large, and bullies that were so mean they could have been confused with big-fat rats. Greasy looking like them, too. The stench that came off some of them was pretty unbearable-- tolerable mind you, but nasty. Ravenna doesn't look for trouble, but trouble looks for Ravenna and it's been following her since her early days at the orphanage. It was any wonder that she managed to make it to adulthood, made possible by her best and only true friend Carah Klein. The fox was waiting around a corner for an unwitting rabbit, having of spotted Ravenna early on, but never made a move for one reason or another unknown. It wasn't until Carah found herself in a tough spot trying to get away with a lie, her tall tales were amazing, but that was what they were-- too amazing. Everyone knew of Carah's stories, and how well she could tell them, but everyone also knew there was no merit to them. When all looked grim for little liar Carah, Ravenna was there to save the day though-- with a lie of her own! Succeding splendidly. The two were instant best friends there on, partners in crime, bread and butter, rimmed gold to a gold miza, a pair of socks, inseperable until the day Carah had to leave the Orphanage for the Cheap Side; and ultimately finding her own indepency. Our heroine was two years younger than the side kick. (Though roles were switched, always Carah the leader, and always Ravenna the side kick, there was no exception ever to this duo.) That didn't stop them, but somewheres along the line, just before Ravenna herself would turn sixteen years old, preparing to room with her only friend, Carah mysteriously dissappeared. Shocker! (Gasp again if you want, you're welcome to.) It had been several days, Ravenna had neither seen hide or tail of the foxy beauty. Three more days passed, nothing. In fact there hadn't been any sign of Carah for the last four years; at first Ravenna tried looking for her friend, she even broke into the missing girl's home. Well, actually Ravenna intended to break in, but there was no need because the door was already opened-- room trashed, and ransacked. Yet no Carah, not even a corpse, nothing to point to where she had gone, or who had taken her-- or killed her. Murder was common. Abduction wasn't unreasonable to assume, slavery? Sunberth may tote its horn around about how an individual's freedom was important, but it was strong eat weak, it was you against the world technically speaking. Ravenna lurked around the slave markets, and the brothels, but never for too long, or alone. Eventually she gave up, hoping, wondering if she would ever see her friend again-- grateful to even find a body maybe.

She now wears it along her wrist and arm.

Deathday: 90th of Fall, 512AV Birthplace: Sunberth Appearence Carah is a slender, red-headed, freckled, mousy haired adult woman with deep blue eyes. Standing at 5'6" and weighing in at 130lbs, she has the hips that don't lie, and an ample bosom. Concept & History Carah was Ravenna's one and only friend while boarding at the orphanage; she was fun, and smiling, and told the best kind of stories-- spooky ghost ones. They were two peas in a pod, the besties of the best, both watching eachother's backs. She was the best, and brought smiles to many a young child's face on even the darkest of days. The soon to be vixen had been boarded in the Orphanage since she was twelve years old. However in the year of 512AV, of only 18 Years, Carah was abducted by non-discriminate slavers for her striking good looks and charming beauty. Her captors were oppurtunistic petches, and were set to leave for Nyka very soon, boarding Carah on, and setting sail soon after. However the ship went down in a devestating storm, and Carah along with it, meeting Dira's embrace at the bottom of Laviku's domain with no hope of a body being found, leaving Ravenna clueless and forever hopeful.
