The other woman's casual admittance of friends spun a web of wonders in Delphine's mind, with her thoughts turning to exactly who and what she had already heard of the so-called oracle's expertise. When another test passed from one woman to the other, Delphine responded carefully, "I suppose that depends on what one is after. Is the aim genuine aid, or merely the image of relief?" Though she presented herself as a fortune-teller, Delphine knew that this role — as well as any other guise she may take on — was, more accurately, one of theatre. "For the former, I've heard that the sweetness of honey assists in the healing process. But, for the latter... Well, they do say that, sometimes, the best medicine comes with a sting." Unspoken was a certain promise — a promise of her ability to catch flies with both honey and vinegar, as it were. "And in your professional opinion?"

Delphine had potential, or so she'd heard when she arrived, keeping her ears close to the ground to get the lay of the land, find out who was to be trusted, who was to be feared, and who needed to be squashed. "Peppermint oil, dear," she answered, returning to her bag and sifting through the vials until she pulled out a green one, uncapping it to smell the crisp freshness of the liquid, "I have friends who trade all across Europe. They gifted me a few peppermint seedlings to grow my own. It's perfect for skin irritation." She tossed the bottle to the other. "Tell me, do you know what to give those affected by burns to their wrists? Surely they'll want some relief after those tight ropes restrained their hands."

physical appearance & body concept

How is your characters appearance unlike their faceclaim's appearance?

OOC: So, I was in love with this ask from the start and instead of answering as merely an inbox response, I’ve elected to make this a proper headcanon. It’s long as fuck but includes cool arts (sort of) from me, and is probably worth a glance if your character knows Dani well in any capacity. Under read more for length. Tagging those whose characters would have direct knowledge of these details in some capacity (aka have seen dani at least half naked lol).

-- - basic dani stats vs. basic tatiana stats

age: twenty-six | thirty-one

-- - physical characteristics body concept art *kcat did an art :3

I would recommend clicking this and opening it in a new tab so you can zoom in and get a better look at the details (tattoos and markings are obviously rough sketches, hair is also at its peak floofiness because hair is HARD so feel free to imagine it not so crazy thnx).

appearance of age:

-- - Dani’s features have always retained a sort of youthful (almost childish) gleam to them, regardless of the dark circles frequently present under their eyes and the numerous markings that dot their skin. They haven’t quite hit their peak maturity so far as facial features go.

height: 

-- - Dani stands at a total of 5′04″, perhaps slightly under. However, their short height does not require them to purchase petite size clothing. Their body is of mostly average proportions, just smaller in overall size than most.

weight: 

-- - Dani is slightly underweight for their height, weighing in at a total 103 lbs. This lower weight did not come about because Fane neglected to feed them as a child (in fact it was impossible for them to go hungry with his love for cooking), but because they burned tons of energy running around, yet never bothered to fully replenish the calories. Skipping meals was a regular practice simply because they believed their time was better spent doing something fun and exciting or important instead of eating. They were also somewhat prone to sickness in their youth, which may or may not have also contributed to this aspect.

body type:

-- - Dani has a short, rectangular, skinny, and bony body (see best ref here) with slim musculature and a pale complexion. They have hardly any extra meat on them, if at all. At prominent points such as their hips, ribs, and collarbone, you’ll be able to see the outline of bones beneath their skin – nothing extreme, but enough to highlight that they’ve fallen just below the healthy weight line for their stature. This has also played a part in Dani’s breast size. On the rare occasion that Dani wears an actual bra, its a AA size bra. They usually wear sports bras not because they have to but because, so long as they’re not going bare-chested (which they do from time to time), sports bras provide all the support they need and pair nicely with their preferred boxer-briefs. Additionally, Dani is an avid fan of swordplay, martial arts, and yoga. This high level of activity has left them with a solid basis of musculature. It’s not like they’re boasting a six-pack, but it’s also not hard to spot the lines that indicate where they’ve got a little more than just skin over bone.

skin type: 

-- - Dani’s skin is pale -- like bordering on mistaken vampire pale -- thanks to their preferably nocturnal schedule. While they love trips to places such as Egypt, sunscreen is a must for them. But they can hardly stand the stuff, so they like to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Their skin is soft to the touch where it hasn’t been scratched, scarred, or burnt and is speckled with a great assortment of marks from their many misadventures.

eye color: 

-- - Dani’s eyes are technically classified as amber; however, lighting and mood play a large part in their eye color at any particular moment, and generally speaking their eyes tend more toward a golden hue than they do the red and orange tones of standard amber cases. as Scully in the voice of Ruby @scarlettxruby so beautifully put it, Dani’s eyes “look like honey dipped in sunlight,” which while a bit on the poetic side, is still rather accurate. Honey gold is great way to describe Dani’s regular eye color – not purely golden but not as sharp as yellow either, and again, light plays a big role in their appearance. There will be times that their eyes come off as more truly amber or even a brownish color, but these a rare instances and don’t necessarily bode well for the present situation. But whatever the case, you can bet they have a solid base of eyeliner outlining their intense stare (it’s practically permanent at this point). Dani has a considerable darkness about them, so I wanted them to have one solid physical feature that could be a consistent reminder that no matter how dark they feel they are, there’s still light in them somewhere, and having such bright eyes that tend to sparkle in the light when they’re excited felt like the perfect fit. example one / example two / example three / example four

hair color & style: 

-- - SO HAIR. We all know that Dani and Sam are local curly hair royalty (jk but also not ok it’s insane), but in comparison of the two, Dani is the one known for their unruly and wild curls. Well, the curls happen when their hair is wet or untouched (or treated by Sam); when they attempt to brush through their hair, it ends up its everyday wavy-curly mess. When their hair isn’t dyed, its color ranges from dark brown to black. It’s been cut short for the summer and left to be as curly as it pleases, but throughout the year it may lengthen, and when it does, it often becomes more wavy than curly. current shortness / mid-length / long / long and curly

hands & nails:

-- - Like Dani’s bony frame, their fingers are also thin and bony. They have slightly longer than average fingers with short, pointed nails that are frequently painted with matte black polish. The back of their hands are smooth like much of their skin, but on their fingers and their palms you will find rougher, tighter patches that have developed over years of work in the field. The soles of their feet also share in this tightness due to a buildup of tolerance for running barefoot.

tattoos & markings:

-- - Dani has lots of tattoos and it’s unlikely that they’re going to stop getting them anytime soon. You can find images of their current tattoos here and placement/sizing on the concept art above. 

-- - Dani also has lots of scars. Most of these I don’t have specific headcanons for, so a number of them I’ve randomly filled in on the concept art. Those that are canon markings have come from in-game injuries or past injuries hinted at and mentioned through headcanons or threads. A few of these include the scarring on their back, the claw wound on their upper left arm, the small bullet wound down at their right hip, the scratchy patches and scars on their knees and elbows (from childhood as well as modern mischief), and the scratch above their right eye and on their left cheek.

everyday appearance:

-- - I’m literally just going to leave some of my favorite Dani (aka Tatiana/Sarah Manning) gifs and images here, but do keep in mind that their hair currently shorter than what these images imply.

“Yes, of course,” he says with a polite smile. “Please, come and sit down and then perhaps we might discuss what you had in mind.”

As Rigel spoke, he hurried to his feet and grabbed a spare stool from nearby, putting it down on the opposite side of his desk and returning to his own chair.

"When you say 'new wardrobe'," he began as he fished his notebook and a pen from the drawer. "How many pieces are you wanting? Because, of course, the more you want the longer they'll take, and also depending on the complexity of each individual piece. Then if you're after something a little durable and protective then that costs extra. But please be assured, madam, everything will be completed in good time and for that you have my personal guarantee. I've been in this job a long time, so I know what's what."

Tatiana often found herself wandering the many alleys of London aimlessly with a simple desire to escape the world of the Devils for a brief moment, curious to see where twists and turns would take her. Today, however, there was an intent on her steps. With the rain damping her clothes, she barely glanced at the few people passing by her as she strode to the store. It was something she would naturally delegate to someone else, but this was a very particular order, and she simply couldn't risk it.

Twitching fingers opened the door and she stood there briefly, until her presence was noticed. “Yes,” she answered, voice lazy and smokey from the lack of use. She hated speaking. “If you have the time? It's all last minute, you see. I apologize, but I really need some new clothes.”

EVENT 001

After the gruesome and terribly tragic attacks on three academies for Moroi and Dhampirs, the world of the supernatural needed time to grieve and recover, before figuring out the next step in what certainly looked like the beginning of a war between the Moroi and the undead Strigoi. Instead of planning a strategic attack or a clever offense, Queen Tatiana decided to host a formal gala in honor of the fallen victims that would mark the end of the mourning process and lead the supernatural society into a new chapter, hopefully a better one. 

Hosted inside the glamorous walls of the royal palace, a feast in the name of everyone who has been lost at the hands of the Strigoi is taking place with Queen Tatiana sitting at the throne, surrounded by her faithful subjects. Moroi, Dhampirs, even Alchemists attend the celebration, showing that in times of tragedy everyone can put their differences aside and come together. 

But behind faux smiles and pleasant words, something else is brewing in the background. Moroi and Dhampirs have started to take sides regarding the whispers to fight back their greatest enemies. For now, the whispers are quiet, calm, merely gossip among friends, but soon, it will grow into something much larger that not even Queen Tatiana herself will be able to control. 

But don’t they know? A nation divided against itself cannot stand. 

OOC INFORMATION DOWN BELOW: 

Hi everyone! This event was very last minute because your admin had some serious internet problems she had to fix, but now that it’s here I hope you like it and are excited to play! We are starting off the roleplay with a special event that is hosted in honor of everyone who died during the Strigoi attacks at the schools. The main goal for this event is to help you guys build relationships among the characters, learn some new things, and have your characters voice their opinions on what has been on everyone’s minds: should Moroi fight back or run away and hide from the Strigoi like they always have, like they are doing at the Royal Court at this very moment? 

The event is going to last an entire week, so until next Wednesday which should give you plenty of times for a lot of exciting threads. We can’t wait to see you on the dash!

Secret languages abounded within her chosen trade: the language of the body, with its irrepressible glances and involuntary actions, betraying that which should be secret; the language of flowers, a tangible, but decidedly unassuming, means of seduction; and the language of code, the very one her ears caught onto now. Yarrow, a symbol of bravery and courage — and an herb meant for healing wounds. Ears clung to the unspoken, Delphine couldn't help but wonder: Was this a request from the Duchess?

When she was certain they were alone, the brunette asked, "My bruised ego, you mean?" For all her efforts, she'd come up nearly empty-handed for anything of benefit to the Duchess. "Or perhaps my itching fingers. Surely, you've a remedy in mind...?"

Tatiana Kanto --> OPEN Location: The Infirmary Time: Mid-Day

"You'll need to make sure that's cared for," Tatiana intruded herself upon the, seemingly, lonely soul that visited the infirmary (though it felt more like her infirmary with so many coming in and out). "Worry not, I'm a healer, not a doctor," the precaution she felt was necessary with so many strange remedies, similar to poison, being used, "I have castor oil, aloe, arnica... though for that, I might recommend yarrow."
