𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 :: melinoë chloris baudelaire

* ˚ ✦ melinoë was named after the goddess of ghosts and harbinger of nightmares, given by her grandmother. while she thinks it sounds nice, she dislikes the meaning behind it. (mel-uh-no-e cloor-is bow-de-lair)


𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 :: mello, noie, melon

* ˚ ✦ the most commom nickname for her is noie, usually used by her grandmother. mello and melon are occasionally used by others around her town, but she usually tries to stick to her normal name.



𝗔𝗚𝗘 :: twenty-one

* ˚ ✦ at the fresh age of twenty-one, melinoë doesn't quite feel ready to be an adult yet. and, quite frankly, she thinks everyone around her feels the same. a bit disheartening, but she understands.



𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 :: october 13th

* ˚ ✦ melinoë was born the day of the spirit festival in her town. she hates it.



𝗭𝗢𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗖 :: libra

* ˚ ✦ while melinoë has studied astrology extensively and believes in it, she finds that the outspoken friend stereotype that libras are usually subject to don't fit her at all.



𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 :: demigirl | she/they

* ˚ ✦ noie just feels like… noie. preferring the feminine side of life, though certainly not wanting to fit into every box or even necessarily be a woman by society's standards. she prefers she/her over they/them, but still enjoys the latter to be used on occasion.


𝗦𝗘𝗫𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 :: bisexual

* ˚ ✦ it took them quite a while to realize, though it really shouldn't have when she had a poster of the town guard woman hanging in their room that they frequently stared at.



𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘 :: half-elf.

* ˚ ✦ melinoë is the result of an elven mother and human father. she feels a disconnect from both humans and elves, though her grandmother always makes her feel right at home.



𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦 :: common | elvish | sylvan

* ˚ ✦ melinoë was raised on both the common tongue and elvish. she picked up slyvan along the way, her grandmother saying their family has "strong ties" with the fey. noie just thought it was fun. she wants to learn more languages.



𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 & 𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗟𝗘 :: apprentice | mercenary and scholar

* ˚ ✦ they are, first and foremost, an apprentice at their grandmother's shop. however, she decides to become a traveling scholar with a prestigious magic school and, in order to pay, becomes a mercenary once spell-selling and fortune telling no longer becomes viable, much to her dismay.

𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗟 :: melinoë chloris baudelaire

* ˚ ✦ melinoë stands at about 5 foot three inches tall and has a relatively small and frail-looking stature. she sports pointy elf ears that are rather decorated with many piercings. she has very long, purple hair with plenty of curl, and parts are typically pulled into two small ponytails at the sides of her head. she is always seen with rosy cheeks and her round glasses on.

╰╮ 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.



𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 :: scaredy cat | intelligent | shy

* ˚ ✦ melinoë is quite the scaredy cat, oftentimes afraid of her own shadow. this leads her to be rather aware of her own surroundings, paying close attention to every little thing. her desire to acquire more knowledge (as well as companionship) is her driving force. her grandmother filled her with a love for gaining new knowledge, and thus more power. melinoë doesn't wish to hold back the family line and be a stain on their reputation, so she works hard every day to become someone her grandmother can be proud of. while they may not seem it, they have quite the fighting spirit deep inside them, and while they might not outwardly protest to being turned down or objected to, they're likely thinking of a new strategy to get what they want already. while melinoë is quite closed off and not very open to new interactions, deep down they truly do long for more people in her life. though, after being told
by your own parents that you're practically impossible to like, its hard to stand back up. so, she closes herself off and simply lets herself long for affection that she pretty much only receives from her grandmother. she can seem quite eccentric to the average person, speaking fast and stumbling over her words, talking about god knows what. she has an interest in the occult as well, so the average person with little knowledge on the subject may be scared away. really, she just wants to have a life with love and knowledge.



𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦 :: tarot cards | writing | dogs

* ˚ ✦ melinoë loves tarot cards. she loves doing readings, just looking at them, and feeling them in her hands. she's in possession of quite the gorgeous deck, passed down in her family for generatioms. she also uses her cards as a melee weapon, imbued with magic, she commands them to throw themselves like knives to strike her enemies. theyre quite sharp.

* ˚ ✦ the girl has a certain affection for writing things of all sorts; poetry, short stories, instructions, anything, really. it soothes her, and in writing no one can judge how you speak or act.

* ˚ ✦ dogs don't judge like people do. melinoë loves dogs, and has one rather large and fluffy dog named gossamer, who is split right down the middle, half black and half white.



𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦 :: ghosts and spirits | hot weather | large crowds

* ˚ ✦ melinoë hates ghosts and spirits with a fierceness. they scare the shit out of her, even if they've taken quite the liking to her.

* ˚ ✦ melinoë is best suited for fall weather, though doesn't mind winter or early spring either. summer, however, is awful. the beating sun with little rain is atrocious to her.

* ˚ ✦ too many people in one area is melinoë's nightmare. too overwhelming.



𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦 :: writing | practicing magic | reading

* ˚ ✦ melinoë frequently writes in her free time. she secretly wants to publish some works, but is too afraid of people disliking them.

* ˚ ✦ a good witch never rests! magic is so fun and complex to her, she simply enjoys studying magic in all forms.

* ˚ ✦ they love to read, finding it soothing and a way to escape from their everyday life.



𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 :: ghosts | spiders | failure

* ˚ ✦ again, ghosts and spirits are her worst enemy. she hates them, they're terrifying, and she never wants to interact with them.

* ˚ ✦ spiders are so… gross. not to mention their dangers.

* ˚ ✦ with such a strong lineage and plenty to prove, melinoë hates the thought of failing.



𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 ::

* ˚ ✦ noie can frequently be seen wearing gothic lolita style fashion. her usual style consists of a gothic lolita dress, black stockings or socks, black heeled leather boots, black ribbons tying her hair up, her gold glasses, a black cloak if its cold, and a small pouch tied to her waist that her grandmother enchanted to be larger on the inside.

𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 :: belladonna baudelaire nee. ordelia | alive | 39

* ˚ ✦ belladonna is a snobby woman with a taste for the finer things in life. she always believed she was too good for the magic shop in the small town, nor was she cut out to be a mother. she doesn't necessarily hate her children, but doesn't want everything that comes with motherhood. to her, lucien was her way out to a better life, so she took it and did almost anything he wanted. melinoë wishes to have a relationship with her mother but is always disheartened by belladonna's lack of interest in anything she has to say.



𝗙𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 :: lucien baudelaire | alive | 41

* ˚ ✦ lucien came from a wealthy background and stumbled upon belladonna's small town by chance during a rather bad storm. he was taken by belladonna's beauty and flirtatious personality, and was willing to spoil her. he is a rather no-nonsense type of man and wanted children for the sale of furthering his business rather than out of love. when he saw they were of what he described as "weak constitution" he supported leaving them with hecate. melinoë is afraid of her father, as he is always quote short and strict when he does visit.



𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 :: ingram baudelaire | alive | 23

* ˚ ✦ ingram is a relatively fine young man, but he tries much too hard to follow in lucien's footsteps. he moved away from their grandmother's shop at the first opportunity he could, though didn't even make it out of the village. melinoë has many fond memories of ingram, but after their fatjer visited a few years ago he changed drastically.



𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 :: hecate ordelia | alive | 67

* ˚ ✦ hecate is a very kind, spirited, and caring woman. she taught melinoë everything there is to know about magic, and is helping her strengthen her magic every day. melinoë calls her nana, and she loves her dearly. hecate teases her a bit about her fear of
spirits, as the family has always had strong ties to the spirit world and there's even a resident ghost in their shop named fern. she started the shop, called witherbloom wares, as a young girl. and sells small spells, potions, wares, ingredients, and even does fortune telling and seances.

𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦

* ˚ ✦ melinoë was born in a larger town nearby the small one her grandmother took residence in. belladonna and lucien, still new parents to ingram, were excited for their new child and were determined to try and make things better. however, they ended up taking a brief stay at hecate's. as soon as melinoë was no longer dependent on her mother, the two left for a "business trip" and didn't return for over a year. melinoë was plenty loved and made memories with her nana and ingram, though her fear of many things, especially spirits, began early in life. they frequently stuck near ingram and hecate for protection, scared of many things around them. the wind, the dark, bugs, sudden noises, new people, just about everything scared her. however, hecate saw she was skilled with magic early and began to teach her and ingram about magic early in life. when belladonna and lucien returned, they stated that they would be leaving the children with hecate and sending a monthly stipend for her to take care of them, as they were too busy with business and didn't want to travel frequently with children.



𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘

* ˚ ✦ melinoë was enrolled in the small school in town and, while fearful of new people, excelled in academics. kids didn't really interact with her due to the aura of spirits around her, though she didn't mind much. she also began to formally apprentice under her grandmother. it was quite the sight to see such a small girl peeking over the counter to help people with magical needs, but it made her very happy. ingram was more into academics rather than magic, though they still practiced together. from about ages ten to thirteen, the household never saw nor communicated with belladonna and lucien. the only contact they had was through the money sent to hecate every month.



𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘

* ˚ ✦ once melinoë turned fourteen, belladonna and lucien visited for the first time in years. the three were overjoyed, but lucien and belladonna seemed as if they didn't care too much. they spent about two weeks at the shop, and over that time they were distant yet personable. at the end of their visit, lucien and belladonna sat with their children individually. while melinoë has no idea what they said to ingram, he changed after that. they told noie that they had no spine and was weak willed, and that they could never amount to what they needed them to be; a strong willed businesswoman that could begin working at lucien's business. they left shortly after. two years later, once ingram had saved up money, he moved out into a small apartment in town. melinoë hasn't had much contact with him since.



𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧

* ˚ ✦ belladonna and lucien visit every so often, though it is usually only for holidays and only for a couple days. melinoë has graduated from her town's school and has applied to one of the most prestigious magic schools in the land, being granted acceptance to their traveling program, with few classes at their main campus every so often. she is currently saving for it by
both helping with her grandmother's shop, as well as becoming a mercenary and traveling merchant. she carries with her a broom that she rides upon, a tarot deck imbued with magic that she uses to both do readings and as a melee weapon, commanding them towards her enemies, and a large tome her grandmother gave to her that helps her manifest her magic. she also brings gossamer, her dog, with her, oftentimes shrinking her down to fit in her bag.

ISEULT!

AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER
created by mars.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE. HUMANITY HAS NEVER GOTTEN ALONG. always driven by an insatiable hunger, a bitter flame rising from their gullet and escaping a bloodied maw. the desire for revenge, for so-called justice, for bloodshed. the crimson drops dyed the newborn's hair a deep red, and, at that moment, she began to weep. she wept until the tears froze to her face and dyed her cheeks red, too. from then on, she crept in the shadows, eyes wide open to all of the hatred in the world. and, she too was poisoned by it; though, she vowed to be the last.​

PERSONALITY

iseult has always been quite the quiet type, always looking and observing. people actually have called her out for sitting and staring before. iseult is a naturally observant type, always wanting to get every crumb of information that she can. somehow, she can simultaneously look at bigger picture and smaller details, putting everything into it's place. this is because she is a manipulator; she will always try to get the upper hand and is not afraid to put on a face to do so. of course, if manipulation is not appropriate for the situation, she isn't afraid to let her plain intellect or somewhat spontaneous style of fighting do that talking for her. iseult is, deep down, a kind person, but every lived experience has closed her off just a bit more. she has very little trust left, and wants so desperately to get it back. she misses the days when she would stay up until sunrise with the others in her village, partaking in song and dance and a feast with her friends and family with not a single care in the world. that was the true iseult de búrka, the one that didn't hide in the shadows and step on others to get her way. iseult longs for comfort and companionship, but finds most people to be terrified. deep down, that's what she is; terrified. like a cornered animal, known to be fierce and lash out at times. before breaking their shell but after getting past her initial "manipulation" stage, aka they determined they have little use for you, they are definitely considered by many to be an "unsociable bitch". it does hurt, but she will be the first to admit that she doesn't know how to put her guard down anymore. she often cries because she has spent so long being so guarded and fierce that she scarcely remembers how to let herself be vulnerable anymore.​

​

INTERESTS

though seemingly a bit out of character, iseult loves folk dance and song. she loves to dance and sing and play instruments, it reminds her of her village. she also enjoys cooking and baking bread and sweets from her village. she also quite enjoys writing and painting. her mother wanted her to keep her creative spirit alive, and thus encouraged any pursuit of the arts.​

​

BIOGRAPHY

iseult was born in a small but lively village about a day's travel from shiganshina, making the fourth member of the de búrka family. the people in the village were all very close to one another, and the village was very much one to celebrate the arts. they would often come to the center of town to dance and have a feast, as they believed they should all share with one another. she grew up very much loved. another thing about her village was that they held firm anti-wall beliefs, similar to erwin's father. one night, when iseult was about 6. a horrible fire was started by who iseult now suspects to have been government agents, and most of the village and the people inside had been turned to dust; there were very few survivor s: iseult, iseult's sister, siobhan, and three other village children. the children were not killed, but were instead taken on a long journey by the people who burned down her village; they were to be taken to the undergound, left at an orphanage, and forgotten about, hopefully killed by the harsh streets. it was during this time that iseult learned the harshness of reality; however, instead of drowning, she learned to thrive. she gained a bitter spirit, learning to fight, manipulate, and sneak her way around. she waited, watched, and struck when the moment was right. siobhan, however, was tired of being a thief. when she turned 12, right after the initial breach of wall maria, she left to join the military and urged iseult to do something better with her life. so, for three long years, iseult waited, alone, until she was able to go and follow her sister. she was also terrified of the possibility that tians breach every wall and subsequently wipe out what could be the last of humanity. the moment she turned 12 she joined the military and was part of the 104th training regiment. while severely lacking in physical strength and teamwork abilities, she excelled in her marksmanship, speed, and intellect. she graduated just outside of the top ten, and remembering her village's beliefs about life outside the walls, chose the survey corps. after the time skip, the corps has broken her; that fiery spirit has grown used to the constant war they fight and has let it turn her tired. she still fights with her heart, but has perhaps lost sight of who is on the correct side anymore, when they take just as much life as their enemies. she sides with her fellow corps members, taking a stance against eren and his actions when he begins the rumbling​

RELATIONSHIPS

SIOBHAN DE BÚRKA. siobhan and iseult used to get along very well. however, when siobhan left iseult it broke her. she followed siobhan only to wonder why she followed someone who abandoned her; when they reunited siobhan was glad to see her sister again, but iseult was confronted with the fact that she resented her sister for leaving her alone like that.​

​

SASHA BRAUS. sasha was iseult's first friend in training. she somehow broke through iseult's menacing glare in order to ask for her leftover bread; iseult was appalled that someone loved the stale, burnt bread enough to ask for her leftovers and vowed that she would make her bread. on a sincere note, iseult was glad that sasha was persistent enough to get through her hardened demeanor.​

ARMIN ARLERT. truthfully, iseult likely came off as rude to armin for a while. she thought he had a brilliant mind but was going to get himself killed with his lack of physical ability. honestly, she was just afraid he was going to die. after he proved to be perfectly capable, she loosened up around him. she would frequently peek over his shoulder when he would write notes or devise strategies and they would discuss things. many late nights were spent in talks about theory, the arts, and what could lay beyond the walls. she feels that she can be vulnerable with him, which is extremely scary yet therapeutic to her.​

​

MIKASA ACKERMAN. mikasa and iseult would gravitate a bit toward each other, mostly because they had a quiet understanding that neither of them would ever talk to one another. however, iseult decided to break that unspoken rule and ask mikasa for help with training one day. that was it; they began to take time to train together until one day they realized that they were worried about if the other would make it through they mission safely, or if they would get to spend another day together. they live in a silent comfort together.​

​

​

JEAN KIRSTEIN. initially, iseult was wary of jean. he was extremely overconfident and rude, so she gave him a hard time right back. they were rivals, then they became friendly rivals. teasing turned into working together, and their friendliness grew. however, neither of them would have called themselves friends until jean stood up for her after some other recruits wouldn't stop bugging her. now they are very close and check on each other often.​

​

​

HANGE ZOE. hange was a very large inspiration to iseult. they were so intelligent and energetic, excited to learn about their world. it gave her hope that there was happiness and joy in the world, and that she just had to find it. as often as she could, iseult went and studied under hange.​

​

​

LEVI ACKERMAN. while levi likely has very little to say about iseult, iseult thinks of levi as a mentor and someone to look up to. she finds his strength and persistence to be admirable, and he reminds her of the hunters from her village.​

​

​

EREN JAEGER. iseult originally held a lot of respect for eren; he was determined, brave, and hard-working, if not a bit hard-headed. being friends with both mikasa and armin, she was naturally around eren quite a lot. however, after his initial defaction and even further when he began the rumbling, iseult was deeply saddened and angered, but determined to stop him at whatever cost.​

​

ANNIE LEONHART. annie and iseult were very similar people, and while it was more of a mutual respect and slight understanding, iseult would say it was something like friendship between the two of them. when it was revealed that she was a traitor it broke iseult. the girl has already been abandoned by her sister; losing someone that she trusted again was hard. when they reunite, it is an awkward yet happy occasion.​

​

​

REINER BRAUN. reiner, admittedly, poked fun at iseult often, similarly to annie. when the girl learned reiner was a traitor she felt betrayed, but didn't have high expectations for reiner. however, upon their reunion many years later, she willingly works with him in order to save humanity, and comitting horrible crimes in the name of paradis across the years led her to better understand reiner's former devotion to marley, especially when they were as young as they were back in training.​

APPEARANCE

iseult is a young woman with an average height and proportions, and her years in the survey corps has given her a nice amount of muscle definition as well as her fair share of scars. her face is naturally softer in features, though tends to have a steely look on her face to make up for it. prior to the timeskip, she has long crimson red hair with a loose wave to it, though after the timeskip it is short and wavy. her eyes are a reddish-brown color. she can usually be seen wearing an apron or pinafore dress or a tailored pant when dressing casually, or the standard corps gear when working, training, or going on diplomatic affairs.​

｢ INTELLIGENT . CUNNING. DETERMINED ｣ delta is a very straightforward type of person. while friendly, she can sometimes come off as cold or blunt in conversation. she isn't the type to take nonsense from anyone, and is not afraid to put someone in their place with her words or her fighting skills. delta is a determined survivalist who values intelligence, strength, and curiosity. as a seeker for the grove, they feel a lot of pressure on their shoulders. they very rarely rest, oftentimes driving themself to their absolute limit in order to accomplish everything. delta is incredibly selfless, yet frustrated with those who can help themselves yet don't or, even worse, those who use and abuse others that are in need. while delta believes the earth is to be respected and the old ones strayed from that path, she also finds value in some of the technology and resources from the old world and wishes the grove would integrate more into their practices.​ — LIKES — learning new things the smell of the rain herbal mixes​ — DISLIKES — large crowds not being able to explore having to relax​ delta has fiery red hair that is usually kept tied into a mess of braids and loose hair. she has round hazel eyes and short eyelashes but strong, dark eyebrows. she stands at five foot eight inches and has a lean yet muscular hourglass figure. her clothing is usually suited for comfort and survivability, with little frivolity. their clothing is usually made of dyed cotton fabric, reinforced with armor made from the grove's handmade leather.​ ｢ AESTHETIC . VOICE . PLAYLIST ｣ ☉ when allowed to go on seeker business by themself, they tends to break many grove rules; they find both respecting and learning from the old world is fascinating and helpful. ☉ delta was born during the apocalypse; it was all she had ever known. she was named after a river delta, expansive and ever-moving. many people in the grove are named after things in the natural world, and those that were born before the apocalypse sometimes shes their former names to be given a nature name to honor the earth. ☉ while always willing to help members of the grove, they hold a distaste for the naïve and carefree demeanor of many of the residents; she pities that the know almost nothing of survival and that if anything were to happen to the grove that many would die. ☉ in her free time she can usually be seen reading, creating new herbal mixes to smoke, drink in teas, and use in medicines, or painting. ☉ delta can usually been seen carrying a bow and arrow, a spear, and, if allowed by the high council, a pistol. she is absolutely leathal with her bow, considered to be one of the best among the seekers. ☉ out of everything in the old world that seems interesting to delta, she wishes she could've watched movies most of all. they have only been able to watch some training videos that the diviners and diamond deemed important for seekers to watch.​

THE GROVE
established to bring peace, harmony, and pacifism to the new world. a group that believes the ways of the old ones are what brought ruin to the world; that humanity must return to it's roots, to celebrate life in all forms, and to grow the world anew. we must give thanks to the old world, but sow seeds for the new. they call the undead "blooms", harboring belief that they are beautiful in their own way. at it's center is a large, concrete structure that is being reclaimed by nature, which is where the council members and other important figures operate from. surrounding it are a-line structures made from logs that constitute their housing. the area is littered with gardens and foliage. on one side is a tall, pointed log fence with only one entry point and a large meadow of flowers outside. on the other side is a port that leads to the ocean. watch towers are scattered both inside and out of the grove.

Spoiler: the council

because of this, blackwatch offered to recruit him and he readily accepted. his sister feared for his well-being but trusted him to always do the right thing. the twins found great success in their respective fields. however, this success was short-lived as the downfall of overwatch began to occur. in yara's eyes, blackwatch got sloppy. they were to consume with their mission that they forgot the cleanup work. seven short years after the twins were recruited into overwatch, they were disbanded. yara and fenrir continued to work in their respective circles, yara choosing to continue undercover missions on her own, with fenrir seemingly disappearing into an organization that he claimed would "bring strength to the world", but would not tell yara more than this. eventually, emil and sylvie decided to investigate the ecopoint: antarctica case on their own. yara was determined to tag along, hoping to jump back into action. the family secured travel to the continent and would have to travel mere miles to the site via snowmobile. they were on their way, but were met with around five operatives wearing all black and armed with heavy weaponry. among them, yara noticed fenrir. the twins attempted to talk with one another, but the meeting was cut short when the enemy operatives began to fight with emil. emil and sylvie tragically passed in the battle, devastating yara. she fought with all that she could, fenrir even attempting to stop the talon operatives, but in the end, both were shot and left for dead. however, a certain scientist with a knack for running unusual medical experiments saw this as an opportunity. moira took the twins in and ran unusual experiments; pumping coolant through their veins, allowing them to die and then resuscitating them, for days on end. by the time yara awoke, she was the sole twin remaining. beside her sat a stone, glowing an icy blue. moira came to her side when she awoke, getting the girl and asking if she knew where she was. the girl shook her head. moira explained that she was in a talon base, one where her brother had been stationed for most of the time he had been gone. moira had taken a liking to fenrir, and when she learned of his fate she decided to give the twins a second chance. however, fenrir was unable to survive. she had instead put all that she could of him into an ai, which lay nestled in the stone to yara's side. yara, on the other hand thrived under the experiment. moira had lowered her body temperature and saved her dying tissue, bringing her new life. despite her skin turning blue in certain spots, and the newfound ability to freeze water, yara was the same as she was previously. moira gave her a piece of technology to harness her new ability, a glove similar to her own, and recruited her to work for talon. with little guidance on her newfound powers and having lost everything she held dear, she stayed under talon's wing. she didn't do much work for them, as they were figuring how to best use her power when the recall occurred; yara slipped away in the dead of night to answer the recall and begin working for overwatch again. moira saw her on that night, yara knew, but said nothing.​ ⠀⠀⋄ m i s c e l l a n e o u s eye of yggdrasill // hel absorbs water from the air before rapidly freezing it, turning it into a spiked star that can be launched at enemies. goddess of decay // hel unleashes a flurry of snow that drains life from her enemies in a small aoe to heal herself. lost in the blizzard // disappearing into a blizzard, hel teleports a short distance away. heed my call // hel calls upon fenrir to fight for her, allowing a wolf to appear from her runic stone and fight against her enemies for a short time.​ ⠀⠀ ◈ hel is mostly only friends with a few people; she doesn't mind cassidy or mercy, and would consider mei to be her friend. she is also often seen with ana and reinhardt, as they knew her parents well. ◈ her theme songs are i'm so sick, twilight, and tell me how. ◈ yara has rather conflicting feelings about moira; she works for an awful organization and ran experiments on her body without her knowing, yet saved her life and allowed her to escape talon. ◈ despite her blue decayed skin being easily hideable, she thinks it is "hardcore" and doesn't go out of her way to cover it. ​ < / >​
