BIOGRAPHY. 

tw: parental death, blood, injury.

When their daughter was born in the middle of the worst blizzard the winter court had seen in half a decade, Jasnah and Vida Obera believed it to be a good omen – a blessing from the cauldron and the gods that had long watched over their homeland, a sign that Jasnah’s years as a warrior and Vida’s years of fervent prayer were being rewarded. They named the baby Neve – radiant snow – in recognition of the honor. 

Neve’s childhood was a relatively happy one, cherished as she was by parents who had tried and failed to have children many times before her birth and adored as she was by the lesser fae who served in her family’s manor. She was the sort of child who sparkled. Quick to laugh, she rambled through the winter court with rosy-cold cheeks and bright eyes, soaking up the beauty to be found in the land and others’ hearts. She had no siblings but developed a closeness with her friends and servants that could only be described as familial, offering them kind words, a shoulder to lean on, someone to help shoulder life’s burdens. She saw all fae as equal and as such was just as likely to be seen frolicking in the halls of some noble lord’s manor as she was to be caught riding piggy-back through the snow on the shoulders of Gala, the child of an okeanide her father befriended during a battle years before her birth. 

Things changed when her mother, a seamstress, was granted an official position within the winter court, a role designing and crafting fashions for the high lord and his family. The Oberas were suddenly front and center in ways they had not been before, and Neve’s prior independence was much more limited. She began to carry herself differently, reserving her truths and compassion for those she could trust, and though she still sparkled, she no longer ran barefoot through snow banks with lesser fae – her father would not allow it, eager as he was to continue climbing the proverbial ladder. 

Over time, Neve began to assist her mother in her work. Her skills with needle and thread were impeccable for one so young, her eye for detail and style unmatched, and all this was aided even more so by her glamouring ability. Neve’s illusions were powerful, able to fool nearly anyone, and she rarely found herself drained by her efforts. This, her mother believed, was the blessing the cauldron had decided to bestow upon her daughter. 

Neve thrived. Her creations soon outshone her mother’s, and fae from across Prythian came to the winter court to have themselves fitted for her designs. She made sure their travel was worth the effort, carefully selecting fabrics, cuts and furs that fit both their personality and their natural coloring. It was the happiest time in her life, not least because she had fallen in love. 

It was an all-encompassing, obsessive kind of love, forged between two people who knew it must remain secret. High though she and her family had risen, Neve was not so foolish as to believe that love between herself and Kardan could lead to anything more than heartbreak given his father’s apparent determination to control every aspect of his son’s life. Still, she clung to the secret, hidden moments they managed to carve out, blushing and full of adoration. She would have been happy to continue on in that way for years, cherishing their quiet moments, but then the war came – and with it, loss. 

Jasnah Obera was the first to die. Her father, a warrior whose skills she had never doubted, was cut down during one of the earliest battles, left to bleed out in a field somewhere she couldn’t even name. It fractured something in Neve, who, at that moment, decided that she could not sit on the sidelines and do nothing. She joined the fight herself, using her glamouring ability to hide soldiers from view, disguising them so that they could invade enemy camps without rousing suspicion. She learned first aid and administered it to injured warriors whenever she could, blood soaking through dresses of fine silk and thick fur, leaving both her hands and heart stained. 

She did not consider deeply what she was fighting for – to her, the deeper meaning of the war was a far-off ideal that didn’t concern her – rather, she thought of who she was fighting for: men and women like her mother and father, children who had no concept of right and wrong. And so, she served, brilliantly, until, one day, she was caught. 

Neve’s memories of what happened that day on the battlefield are somewhat foggy now, dimmed by time and distance, but her life was forever changed. 

All she once knew was taken from her, and she found herself in a new, strange place she did not understand, alone and frightened with no familiarity or comfort, no promise that she would ever return home. She grieved and raged, heart and mind thrown into confusion and turmoil, constantly torn between a longing for home, for her love to come and rescue her, and an acceptance that this was the end of everything. 

When she finally escaped that darkness, Neve made herself a new home in the spring court, a place that was so different from her home that she at once hated and adored it. There, she did not feel so acutely out of place. There, she was not reminded of all she’d lost or what she was missing. There, she could rebuild. 

And rebuild she did. 

She has carved out a place for herself in the spring court, taking on the role that had once belonged to her mother, outfitting nobility in the finest fashions, sure to impress even the most snobbish of customers. And though she feels stuck, almost out of place in time, constantly mourning the loss of years she cannot get back, Neve is trying. It is all she can do.

Introduction Post

hello... my name's Achilles (pref.) but you may call me Luci. i'm Filipino + a minor who's just a sea critter doing things. (i'm still figuring how this app works....)

you can check these links for more info abt me

old-ish carrd || pronouns page || dni list

but if you're willing to spend time reading this then i'd bake cookies for you.... /srs

currently, i've been playing the game "Twisted Wonderland" for a bit and let me tell you... it has been a source of fixation for me lately to the point i waste my remaining sanity to level up some cards (mostly silver/leona) or to see a bird man crash landing/j to classes then fly away like the free bird he is. (except he isn't free. i'm locking Crowley in a birdcage whether he likes it or not/hj).

but there is one game that could make me go batshit insane (it's not like i already am) and it is... *drum roll* Identity V!!! i will literally screech like a fucking vulture or whatever if i see absolutely NO ONE trying to save a chaired surv like get your dusty assess off the cipher *targeted to that rescue*. pains me even more as a decoder main TO RESCUE that surv, then bodyblock, then get hit, then chaired with no one saving me too. (whoopsies i ranted a bit...)

apart from that, i also enjoy watching anime. some of the titles, which are my favourite are: Vanitas no Carte, Black Butler, Trinity Blood, and Bungo Stray Dogs.. and more..

and when it comes to music, ig i have varied taste. most of the time i listen to a range of songs spanning from the 1920s all the way up to the 2000s (the only 2000s songs i listen to are lady gaga songs...) or TV Girl songs. they're the only bad i almost always listen to ^_^ (tv girl fans hmu)

in addition to my specific interests, i do have a thing for writing. i would and could create posts that are either unhinged or humorous, as well as those where i discuss my various interests or to just speak to random people... idk i've never expressed too much abt myself in social medias.

feel free to ask me any questions or start a conversation about any topic you'd like. i'm always open to chatting, but sometimes i just don't respond. although i must warn you that i can be a bit silly at times. looking forward to connecting with all of you!

congratulations on your acceptance, tommy & ian ! please make sure you check the next steps here

paul wesley, bisexual, male + he/him→ isn’t that noah chmiel? i’ve seen them hanging out with the dragonkin. i hear they’re 129, but they’ve only been in alexandria for 7 years. they seem to be headstrong & friendly, but also lustful & hot headed. it’s cool that they’re capable of hydrokinesis!

zane phillips, homiesexual, male + he/him/his → isn’t that bryce fowler? i’ve seen them hanging out with the half ghosts. i hear they’re 30, but they’ve only been in alexandria for ???. they seem to be flirty & transparent, but also dismissive & fog-headed.

TWO new wanted connections have been added!

did you hear ezra bolívar (édgar ramírez), our resident incubus, is looking for their uncharacteristically ex-(more than) one night (a week?) stand? they’re an utp year old utp/human who arrived in the chateau at least over a year ago. they look like aaron taylor-johnson/leo suter. the player does require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - i'm imagining an uncharacteristical (maybe whirlwind) romance and/or sexual relationship that lasted like a week or a little more/less before ezra does what he does and bails to find the next hole to breed thrill to chase, the next adventure to be had. if they are supernatural, i figure that supernatural identities were not discussed (cause he was unaware he was supernatural until like recently) but could play a factor in their attraction to each other in the first place. this could have happened years ago, maybe a decade if your muse is immortal/don't age. ideally, now that they're both here in alexandria they'd want to continue their situationship/develop it into something more... but first they'd probably have to work things out with ezra since he's a dumb dumb that cannot commit (why?) - @enshrcuded 

did you hear bayram sahin (yusuf cim), our resident harpy, is looking for their 2 brothers? they’re ~28-38 year old harpies who arrived in the chateau 5 years ago. they look like any turkish fcs who resemble yusuf cim. the player does not require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - the family is extremely close & originally from istanbul. one of the brothers accidentally exposed his harpy powers to a human boy when they were kids when he was being attacked. bayram was the first one who came to america for school and eventually brought his family over; when he found alexandria, he brought them all down. the rest is up to you and i left the background super open. as long as you use a turkish name for your character & if you need help with fcs, hmu!! - @newsalvations

ONE new location has been added!

SEVENTH HEAVEN: to look at seventh heaven, you'd think you were looking into a time portal. the building, located in a little more seedier part of town, is three stories tall with a rather large basement. built specifically by sephiroth, the top floor is his place that takes over the full layout of the building. the first and second floors are home to the bar, designed to look like a medieval tavern that the darklighter grew up around. although you can get modern beverages, seth has tried to make beers that tasted just like how he remembered them. the hidden feature to his bar however is located in the basement. several cells all designed like the dungeons of the castle he served in. though, this dungeon is used more for pleasure than it is for pain. some of the cells are private, while some are visible to each other via metal bars, for the more voyeuristic in nature.

Hi there, I think I may ID with Isabeau as well. I have only played SMT IV and am currently going through Apocalypse. But I feel really connected to Isabeau, and a few nights ago I had this weird memory experience of being Isabeau doing something with Walter. It hasn't left me and I don't really know what to do? Idk if you'd ever want to talk cause I'm a double but I dont really know who else to tell, since I cant find SMT IV kin on here.

oh wow, hello!! to be completely honest, isabeau is honestly like....... the last kin i thought i’d encounter any doubles of, but this is really exciting omg

first off, hi!! please don’t worry about the fact that we share isabeau as a kin, 99.9% of the time interacting with doubles isn’t something that bothers or upsets me at all (i actually think it’s really cool to compare canons and stuff so i’ll try to help you as best as i can w/ my own experiences being kin w/ isabeau)

secondly, i completely feel u on the utter lack of smt4 kins and im happy you were able to find me and reach out to me like this bc i know exactly how hard it is to find like. anyone at all-

but ANYWAY, i’d absolutely be interested in talking more, as long as you’re comfortable with it! i know my memories are something i haven’t really listed anywhere on my kin page/kin blog yet (still working through them myself tbh), but if you wanted to discuss memories or the feelings you’ve been experiencing in regards to isabeau and IDing w/ her, just hmu! c:
