#Artica Neivers

[whiteswarm]

@trondopeacekeeper (from here)

"... Well, first of all, i don't think dragons are dumb animals, and second, i'm... not a full human"

Her antennas poked from the mass of hair and she gestured at her lack of human ears.

"I'm Artica Neivers, part Faerie, part Human..."

She looked around the area "Aw dang it. I think i messed up with the Tree-Portals in Tìr na nOg..."

[whiteswarm]

"Ehhhhh... fifty fifty"

However, she still bowed her head in respect. She didn't want gods from another land to go after her, giving all her present problems.

"Hermes the Messenger? Nice. I'm Artica, Artica Neivers, I'm from a land in the north-west called Scotland"

Now came the difficult part: how could she explain what fairies were to a Greek God? Uhhhh...

"Well, my kind is called Faeries, or Sidhe... We're like, how do you call them..." She tapped her insect-like blue talons on the ground.

"Oooofff..." She groaned until she remembered the word and slapped her knee.

"Nymphs! We're the Scottish equivalent of Nymphs. We're creatures tied to nature mostly"

@whiteswarm - "Nae, i ain't Greek... But I know about Olympian Gods. I read about them"

“All good things I hope.” He smiled, knowing it was a surety that it wasn’t. Nothing like myths and legends to air out all their dirty laundry farther than any tabloid rag could.

“Well in any case, I’m Hermes. Though you probably already guessed that.” He cleared his throat awkwardly. “So who are ya?”

[whiteswarm-archived]

“Begone curse! And let the magic flow again!!”

[i-love-rakan]

The door of house Neivers opened in the middle of the night, Artica dragged herself in, panting hard. "Fuck" she growled, going to drink some water and realising to her horror that she was spitting blood "I... I overdid it" (Bring in the angst

Rakan was usually awake by this time, talking with his beloved’s parents and other members of her family because now that they’ve grown accustom to him, they constantly start conversation. But seeing Artica walk in, he shot up. “Babe!” He rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her as she was by the kitchen sink. “W-what happened sweetheart?!?” He asked, shaking out of fear.

[whiteswarm]

@tangledalchemist (from here)

"Oh..."

She was... surprised. In a good way, her expression softened as the younger boy welcomed her in the kingdom, smiling and holding out her hand.

"Thank ye, laddie" she spoke with a strong scottish accent "Artica Neivers, nice to meet you. Could ye point me to the nearest Inn?"

[the-ionian-gambler]

Knocks at his door with a basket of Freljordian cider and sweets "Fate it's me, Artica Neivers"

Tobias was meditating in his kimono when he heard the knock. He opened it and smiled warmly.

- Artica! - he said and hugged her - I haven’t seen you in a long while. Please, come in. I’ll make some tea.

@moonlight-judgement doing and AMAZING job on Artica

[whiteswarm]

Artica "I miss loving and being loved romantically by someone but I don't dare getting attached to anyone because I fear to lose them" Neivers

[whiteswarm]

"Artica... Artica Neivers"

She introduced herself after approaching and extending her hand for a shake. Very... human... for a Faerie.

"I get you're a magical creature like me, Nith... may I ask what kind? There's too many"

@whiteswarm

Now this one did have an interesting look: “You look like a fairy…”

[whiteswarm-archived]

Full body shot of Artica in pencil Wow. I can do anatomy! :D

[whiteswarm]

@finncomet sent [introduction] -> for our muses to have just survived a life-threatening event together -- and now that they've survived it they can actually learn each other's names

Artica laid on the ground, a drum in place of her heart and her breathing heavy and fastened. It was pure chance they had met and had fought her enemies together, escaping together.

"... Artica Neivers"

She muttered "Didn't have the time to introduce myself, lad"

[whiteswarm]

"There's war in the Freljord too..."

Ionia wasn't in the best conditions as well, judging by the avian-like woman's tone and demeanor, it was as serious as in the Freljord.

"Guess both our lands are suffering the same..."

Artica looked down, reflecting and starting to gather the clues. There was unnatural cold, magic was weakened, crops died just like in winter...

"I'm part of the Isøll tribe, they disappeared two decades ago" they weren't dead, they were suffering a fate worse than death and so her land.

"An ancient semi divine sorceress made a deal with entities of destruction and corruption" Artica wasn't so sure about letting the other Vastaya see the True Ice shard in her pendant, well, not that she could steal it, not without physical injuries. "She and her forces captured me tribe, keeps them prisoner in a twisted and evil version of the magic in me land and exploits them"

That's when she revealed the shard: brilliant, full of naturally radiating magic... and cold. "This is True Ice, physical embodiment of Magic in the Freljord. Only a few can weild it" she paused, putting it back

"This shard belonged to me mother, she left it to me and now it helps me fight the corruption. If the rumors are true, i suspect me enemies took advantage of Ionia's suffering to plant the curse here as well" a deep breath with a sigh and an irritated smile

"Which would aggravate Ionia's state, since Black Ice literally sucks life and magic and grows relentlessly. Just. Great."

whiteswarm​:

Artica’s faint smile faded as the feathered woman’s tone turned out to be anything but friendly. First, she was concerned, fearing she had unintentionally offended the other redhead. However, when she used the term mixed, with that kind of emphasis…

Artica’s throat rumbled and her teeth rattled together as she produced a low, clicking grunt, more like a growl, of disapproval… and disappointment. She had been openly called a bastard child by the Frostguard, Winter’s Claw, Noxus and Demacia in the past and she didn’t care.

However, it was a Vastaya subtly not liking her having a bit more human blood, and it hurt. Even the True Ice Shard in her necklace seemed to second her feelings, the heart shaped pendant letting out a faint blue light from inside.

“Vastaya are treated different in the Freljord”

She would have added some colored names like bloody eejit, bawface, wallopin’ plucked goose and so on. But it was too crowded and she didn’t want to cause a ruckus in the marketplace.

“Aye. Ye could say I’m working here for the sake of the Freljord and Ionia too”

Her fur puffed and lowered again, antennas twitching.

“I heard folks worried about food being scarce in some regions… Earth being unnaturally cold. Ye know any of this?”

   XAYAH OPTED TO REMAIN QUIET for longer than she initially intended.  words were ready to spring from her throat immediately at the first statement she was given, however; this isn’t freljord.  but something made her stop and listen.  perhaps the UNDERSTANDING that she wasn’t about to say anything useful…  or perhaps she could just hear rakan in her head being compassionate.  he was too soft sometimes.  he was l i k e the human sympathizers, however.

                 he was one.  a fact the female lhotlan had come to respect in a way.  only because she trusted his judgement.  but only his.  no one else had earned the right for her to give that to.  not yet.

         something of a dark smile crossed ruby lips, a hum tickling them as she let the taller eventually relent her question.  xayah’s brows arched, inhale breaking her silence as hands pressed to her hips, cautious but not tense.

                           “on ionia, the vastaya are dying.”

         bluntly spoken, golden depths raging an internal fire, keeping herself stoic.  “there has been war here.  magic is being smothered, everywhere i go, i am seeing my people hurting and fading.  i must admit that weather and food haven’t been the h i g h e s t concern on my list thusly.”

                 shoulders bounced a shrug.  honest, angry.  though her frustrations were tempered right then, instead tone twisted something of regret.  that she couldn’t give better news, that there couldn’t be some magical harmony like whatever her companion believed in.

          like what rakan believed in.

                       warmth in her fingers, a feather appearing within the grasp of her right palm.  not to cause trouble, merely distraction.  she SPUN it about and watched the soft edge harden and then become light again.  letting out a spilling of emotions into the small movements.

          “…in other words, i can’t confirm or deny your concerns.”

When ice turns blue from black, it’s beautiful They say I’m a fool and a traitor, they know nothing. They call me Mu’Takl, and they act like those they hate.

Azir Be what your people needs I trust you, don’t screw it all up You’re the best emperor so far, be sure to keep being it.

Demacians Why fearing world’s nature? Having magic powers isn’t a curse, but a gift You’re the home of the right, but you silence who’s not “normal” Between Noxus and Demacia, I don’t know which is worse.

Graves/Twisted Fate Teehee, I think “Cat cats us” am I right? Even Illaoi thinks it, come on!

Illaoi I already passed the test, don’t want to repeat it Oh come on! A barbecue and everything will go juuust fine Don’t make me take back the apple pie promise!

Star Guardians Sooo, to guard the world you’re supposed to be filled with sparkles? What is the use of breast emphasizing clothes? I wonder if Gigi counts as a magic animal…

Trundle You bargained your life for a club of True Ice… What the F*ck is wrong with you? I knew Trolls were dumb, but man, you beat them all! The Witch will throw you away like garbage!

Xayah I have my cause, you have yours, don’t get in my way Insult me all you want. But never. My. Mother You’re not a rebel, just a reckless guerrilla! I’m just trying to save my land and the world from an eternal Ice Age… Nothing important. You’re blind just like the humans you hate You care about Vastaya’s freedom? Then help me! I may not speak Vastaya, but I can fly… hehe…

Wukong I will fly you around, you don’t fear heights, do ya? Your eyes are open, much more than other Vastayans. Aunt Arianna would like you but she’d say you’re too thin

Taunt Response What did you call my mother?! Wow. I’m shaking. I don’t have time to stick with you and break my non-existing balls. Comes in an antennae and gets out from the other Shut up. It will give you some decency Oh heavens, what do I have to hear? Heard worse. What did I even do to you? Who are you!? What do you want from me?? An ice spike is about to strike in your privates. Where’s the good pan when I need it?! I would shove spoonful of Haggis in your mouth just to tell you what it is and see you vomit!

Joke (Artica grows her fur with a puff sound) Wanna see something cute? *Puff* TADAA! Hey check this out! *Puff* I’m FLUFFY!!

Joke response Didn’t get it I don’t know you. HAHA! Nice one! You have a future as a comic! Uhmm… Ok?

Killing May your soul be at peace I’m sorry I hate killing. Killing is always horrible You kill only for feeding or not to be eaten, not for hating If everyone would follow my Uncle Brendan’s philosophy, the world would be better May Avarosa take you in her realm I will like killing someone only when this someone shall be the Witch

Killing: Friend/Ally

NO! What have I done! (Artica bursts in tears) I didn’t mean to! (crying) Please! Forgive me! (crying) (sobbing) Sos sa tsíocháin (Rest in peace) Slán, logh dom (Farewell, forgive me)

[whiteswarm]

@xxlordalexanderxx (from here)

Artica mentally cussed as she gulped and held her chest tightly

"I... i can offer ye food, all me supplies if ye wish, and i have some golden coins. But i can't give you my pendant"

She waved her hands "T-there's a good reason for this choice, well, two" She had to play her cards right in order to survive a dragon, she was taught that they were unpredictable but they weren't stupid.

"First reason, which is more personal, it's the last physical memory i have of me parents. I hope ye understand i am emotionally attached to it"

She was praying it would convince him indeed "Second, let's say it has a mind of its own and doesn't like to be touched without permission"

She put down the big satchel and took out all of her supplies, it was all home cooked food by herself or her aunt. Then she emptied her money pouch: Thirty golden coins.

"I, Artica Neivers of the Winter Faeries, apologize for trespassing in yer domain, Great Dragon. And i offer ye what i can give ye" She showed bravery but also humility "For i prefer hunting in the woods than defying a Dragon"

And then she prayed it would work.

[whiteswarm]

Thank Anivia that they didn't attack and rushed to help... She had her axe tied to the back and she wouldn't draw it at anyone of her tribe, never and ever.

Artica coughed as she clinged to the kind woman who came to help her, panting due to tiredness "I'm... Artica Neivers... from the village called Fìor Tobar Beinne"

It was a small village in the most southern part of the Avarosan tribe, mostly of farmers like herself. "The Fro... Frostguard. Ambushed me"

whiteswarm​:

And then, from the trees, a figure emerged… it walked slowly and weakly, as if hurt or weakened. It wasn’t easy to tell what it was until after a few minutes: a woman.

A woman with long curly red hair and freckles, green eyes, wrapped up in a blue cloak…

She really looked exhausted, in need of medical assistance since there were bloody trails behind her.

“A… Avarosans!” She called “We’re all of the same Tribe, please I need your help!”

To say she was surprised to see someone emerge was an understatement. Revna readied herself to draw her weapons, but then she saw the stranger was already wounded, leaving a trail of blood in the snow behind her. Looking closer, the girl possessed features like that of a moth… A vastaya.

Revna stood up, calling out to her tribesmen. “Injured! Someone is injured!” She moved to support the moth girl as the others slowly roused from the tents. “What’s your name, child?”
