Ayna (name comes from the Kazakh word for "mirror") was born in a small village on the northern coast of the Lands of the Old Faith. The purging of the sheep began when they were 17. Ayna fled from one place to another, first with their family, and later alone after each was slain, for over a decade. From them, the last lamb would inherit a passion for brewing (and drinking), a skill at finding the right person for a job, and a certain talent for snippy sarcasm.

Finally cornered and executed somewhere in Anura, the lamb readily accepted Narinder's offer. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, they threw everything into building the cult under Ratau's tutelage. Ayna spent the first decade recruiting followers and expanding the cult grounds between short crusades to attack Leshy's cult, remaining a small but persistent thorn in his side.

Sometime in the second decade, Ayna started being plagued by the voices of other sheep, friends and family killed in the purge. These voices drove them to seek vengeance, and would be a constant presence for the rest of the century, stopping only for short periods after the lamb killed a Bishop and their cultists. Ayna's father had been a master brewer, a skill they'd apprenticed in before his death, and the lamb started looking for a way to make alcohol strong enough for a god's Vessel.

After their first success in getting drunk in the cult's 21st year, Ayna met Brean, a badger they charged with being the one member of the cult who would treat them as a normal mortal at all times. Brean would later become their chief advisor and the first member of the cult's senior council.

The lamb finally killed Leshy in year 27, and experienced the first long period without voices driving them on. Two seasons passed before they started again, and while alcohol could tamp down grief, it could not stop the drive for revenge. Over time, drinking and killing became addictions for Ayna, neither of which they could do without for long.

After Heket's defeat in year 48, with the cult well established, Ayna founded the senior council, a group of nine cultists with particular skill sets responsible for managing other cultists and reporting back to the lamb. While Ayna could readily override any of their decisions, they much preferred not to, and started holding council meetings twice a season to keep things running smoothly.

With the weight of the cult's operations removed from their shoulders, Ayna set to eradicating the cults of the last two Bishops. Even with more time to focus on combat, Kallamar and Shamura proved to be more capable enemies. The cult of pestilence fell in year 72, and they finally claimed Shamura's head in spring of year 97.

Narinder's request for their sacrifice and their destruction of the old god of death was something the lamb could stomach. However, after his resurrection, Narinder's total change in behavior and demeanor has Ayna spiraling and wondering how to move forward. The Bishops are dead, but the voices are still screaming for vengeance.

Continuation?

When asked to kneel, The Red Crown made the choice for them. The One Who Waits sees this as a betrayal leading to their battle and his inevitable downfall.

Yngya’s Repose in a nutshell.

[teruuu]

…It was in the realization of his feelings that it dawned on him. He was, in fact, a monster.

And for the first time in his existence, he finally learned how to hate himself.

Edit: I modified it cuz the sentences looked ugly lmfao

I DECIDED TO DRAW OUT A SCENE

[bilehwit]

I have a reference for Bilehwit now, drawn by the most wonderfully skilled and immensely patient @ane-doodles ! She has worked with me for a good long while now to create a reference sheet for Bilehwit.

We worked together on the design, and there are hidden bits of lore, both made after seeing ideas from the artist herself and requests I put in!

If anyone wants an in depth explanation of the background for each outfit, let me know in the asks, and I'll answer!

I am so immensely grateful for her work, as @ane-doodles has worked with me through her own life and work. I would suggest that people go check out her own Lambsona and au! It's really a wonderful time.

[sincerely-sofie]

The Better the Wool fanfic is still being developed, but I’m open to asks and more regarding the AU! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoy making content for it.
