Heavy Is the Crown

Hair floating in the depths of her underwater palace and soft breeze caressing fragile, longing skin. Peace. That is all she ever wanted to feel but realized it only now as the pure sensation of tranquility shivered through her spin. Head resting as if on a water pillow, eyes razor sharp. Open and curious, green irises focused on the chem baroness sitting right next. The smoke that escaped Corina's lips was green with shades of grey. It was dense enough to cover her face with ethereal cloud. She observed in silence and once it faded, she mumbled: - The secret lies in the dose. Once rafined, Zaun Grey can be used as a drug. The effect it gives reminds characteristics of opium. Your muscles become delightfuly numb, your mind leaves astray. Drugs are not all but it surely will be profitable enough. What interests me more are what higher doses do to human nervous system. The water was warm and the air was humid. Above them there were cultivars of toxic plants making the area Corina's personal heaven; her very own kingdom in Zaun. - Do you need more subjects, Corina? - Renata asked, warm drops dancing on her skin drying fast as she emerged from water. Her body was athletic and strong leaving no wonder she could endure combat as fine as she fought with magic. She was taller, older, more experienced but no more in position of power when it came to Corina. Renata was proud to see her protegee rely on her very own expertise and building herself underground empire. She enjoyed the monster she so eagerly created and Corina was ambitious. All Renata had to do was to plant a seed; dare Veraza to dream. - No, thank you. Another study of mine concerns life sustaining. - Corina smiled exposing her toxin inducing fangs. Beautiful and deadly. - Perfect. Yet, the last time we spoke, you were fascinated by shimmer. What has changed your perspective? - Shimmer is his empire. Silco already makes profits. I want to give him something more and prove my worth in the Eye of Zaun. Zaun Grey has endless potential. - And so do you, Corina. Very wise indeed. Wishing to be the queen, you must remain unique and strong in the eyes of man. To be the wife, always aim for being one and only. Kings may have as many whores as they please but they want a queen that is equal to them. - I will never be his equal. He is far above me and I don't very much mind him to be. He is inhuman. Celestial. - The youngest chem baroness stood up, leaving the bath. Her skin was delicate, body almost fragile with hour glass curves and long legs Veraza loved so much to reveal in public with her bold dresses. - Be his. Support him but be careful what you wish for, heavy is the crown. And the Kiramman? - The only daughter, an heir to family fortune and secrets. Intelligent and military trained. Still she's nothing to me but merely a pawn, an obstacle I must meet on my path to glory and crown. Anything new about her? Renata chuckled. - Her preferences surely will make our plans easier. Wait and see, my beloved Corina. Seduce her. Make her vulnerable, enamoured by your presence. Make her trust you. Make her love you. And remain immune.

Oh the gatekeeping is real...

I'm seeing all these people lose their shit over hot, young Silco...

Nah, if you didn't find his chain-smoking, shimmer-injecting, bitter as rancid coffee, rage without management, wrinkled twig mob boss girl dad sinfully hot, you can't drool over his young feral self.

  "This will be my magnum opus."

SPIRIT BLOSSOM | THE BARONESS | ZAUN MASTERMIND BASIC INFO Name: Corina Veraza Aliases: The Mastermind, Baroness Scryer Background: Biochemist Species: human / toxin and grey enhanced Previous occupation: Piltover infiltrator Current occupation: Chem baroness of Zaun Class: Scientist Position: influential Zaunite chem baroness Body enhancements: decorative metal plate covering chin and neck scars, (LATER) right bionic arm Abilities: + poison injecting fangs + grey enchanced organic systems + limited control of plants twisted and mutated by the Zaun Grey + toxin immunity Skills: + persuasion increased in effectiveness by pheromones + pheromone‐mediated chemical communication with toxic plants + academic backround and high level intelligence + business and connections in both: Piltover and Zaun, however in Upper City Corina must rely on her minions or corrupted officials Basic attack: + Flashbomb traps + pheromones + toxins + scimitars Weapons: + Magnum Opus; a rare flower feeding and blossoming on the volatile chemicals of the Zaun Grey, highly poisonous and producing suffocating gas Allies: + Renata Glasc; the mentoress and close friend who led Corina through her path of becoming a chem baroness of Zaun. Renata became her patron and mother figure after Corina lost her high reputation in the City of Progress due to the eventual exposition of her long lasting infiltration. Renata showed Corina that manipulation may be as effective as violence. + Sevika; the mutual respect allows both women to co-operate effectively and in time, they developed something more promising. A friendship perhaps? Sevika enjoys sparing sessions with scimitars and knives and it was her who taught Corina basics of combat. She also tries the same with gambling but the youngest baroness never learns being the worst gambler in Zaun or as Sevika claims, in Runeterra. + Silco; her King. Her loyalty to him is eternal and her affection is endless. In Corina's eyes, Silco is a Zaunite god. Each his word to her is like an answered prayer. His attention means more than gold. Veraza is willing to lie, kill and fight any enemy she has to face in order to ensure her king's safety. The Follower. The Worshipper. The woman in love. Corina along with Renata Glasc are Silco's allies, not business partners therefore they are never present during the chem barons' meeting. Silco communicates with them in private. Weakness: + failed experiments resulted in Corina losing her right arm, now leaving her with a bionic one which increased strenght and precision but has limitations. + scars on chin makes her insecure of appearance, she doesn't cover them only when with loyal companions + madness; what is vision to her is utopia to others + Zaun loyalty to the extreme; Corina loves Zaun deeply and is willing to fight for it to the last heartbeat + plant connection; without her toxic plants Corina is weaker + Zaun Grey addiction APPEARANCE Slender silhouette, silk dark hair and eyes of tender yet deadly glaze all make Corina as dangerous and beautiful as her plants. Long fingers are covered by gloves as she conducts experiments spending another night in one of her labs but once she leaves, her appearance changes dramatically. Corina has a sense of fashion. As a scientist she keeps her long hair neat but as a chem baroness she leaves it on the loose - perfect, naturally black and weist lenght. Sometimes, Corina crowns herself with belladonna petals as a reminder to her enemies how poisonous she can be and that she is a force to be reckoned with. Always. She must remind her rivals that she is one of them, the true chem baroness and no longer Renata Glasc talented trainee. In time, chem barons learn her value and remember her name. Flowers in her hair are vivid, fresh and purple; her ambition of becoming a queen of Zaun personified. Covering her severely scared neck along with chin, Corina exposes her legs gladly as she wears long thigh- slit dresses. Her prefered colours is the earth palette: brown, white and green. NATURE'S WRATH; GAIA.

CHARACTER

INTP, The Logician

Ambitious. Intelligent. Creative. Corina follows her intuition. She values knowledge, is not afraid of experiments and is a devoted believer. Her perspective of ecosystem is unique and her intellect is vigorous. Observing and patient, she is like a calm breeze and eletric air that comes right before the greatest storms. HISTORY As the Piltover master infiltrator close to House Kiramman, Corina managed to earn Caitlyn's trust. She knows many secrets, hidden passages and still has a network of powerful and loyal contacts in the City of Progress. Corina is calm under pressure, silent and observant. In business, she is subtle yet determined believing that manipulation is as useful and effective as violence. She enjoys her life in Piltover as Caitlyn's close assistant and respects the Kiramman as now her rival. Once her facade is down, she returns to Zaun as a scientist and a chem baroness - something she was trained to become from the very young age by her patron, Renata Glasc. Corina's domain is toxic plants and suffocating gas which she creates from her most poisonous flowers. Deadly and beautiful is her art. TRIVIA - chem baron Finn is interested in her romantically - she often dyes her hair red and wears flowers in them like a tiara - Corina is a dreamer - lawful neutral in nature - she is the youngest chem baroness in Zaun being only 32 - her love language is gifts; Veraza presents for her loved ones can be small gestures of attention, toxic flower seeds or very personalised gifts that are unique. Each is from the depth of her heart - Corina's beloved Zaun area are her crystal ball shaped greenhouses; here she grows and nurtures her plants - Corina has a toxin herself; there is a mixture of Zaun Grey and poison in her veins - her scars are a failed experiment result. They cover her neck and chin and form plant-like vines. She learns to love them in time. - Silco is the only one she could sacrifice her plants for and would then bring them back to life from roots and seeds - Corina has viper poison fangs and she uses them along with pheromones. She usually makes victim feel safe and protected, then suffocates or poisons with a venomous killer kiss once her job is done and she gathers the data she wanted. Sometimes she uses her plants to bound. - after Silco's death she is called Silco's bitch due to her still being loyal to the chem baron - her dreams: becoming a queen of Zaun but only to protect the king

PART TWO Standing in front of the King of Zaun chem baroness bowed gently and remained in her frozen position of highest respect. Corina would take a seat in Silco's quarters only being directly ordered to, otherwise she used to forever stand still like an ancient statue of a devoted priestess guarding her chosen entity even in afterlife. Her heterochromatic Zaunian god. Tonight, her attitude was different. Much less of a worshipper, more attention demanding. Corina was euphoric. She never begged for appraisal nor she wanted any rewards. Her King's time and attention was more than enough. Calm and observant she was a reminder of what comes before the storm. In business she was graceful, in her fights she was fierce. As Sevika trained her to be. Tonight, however, she was mostly just excited. - You wish to know what brings me to you, don't you? - Corina examined the chem baron's face muscles anatomy and she saw perfection. In response, she revealed every inch of her face as well, taking off the veil from her face. Scars on her neck were light and shapen in form of more vines as if she was half - human and half - nature goddess. With him she never hid them. - As always: business and pleasure. Behind her back she was hiding something in a wooden box craved with precision and devotion. Floral ormaments covering the lid. - Tonight is more about pleasure I suppose. I have a gift for you. Would you like to see? Inside, there were long thin toxic sprigs woven into HER severed head. Eyes open wide. - Sevika's final blown, Renata's ambush, my suffocation and design. Metal lungs striving for air, no fluid baths could save her. Three lionesses. One prey. And a glorious ocassion. - Happy Zaun Anniversary, Silco. Blisters and bedrocks. Her smile widened showing sharp, poisonous viper fangs. Kissing her is deadly but there is an antidote for her venom. If she cares, her lovers live. If she doesn't... they wither and rot in agony. Rarely did she kiss, rarely would she use the antidote. Rarely doesn't mean never. Now, she wanted to celebrate her King's triumph. One rival down. Oh, Silco how many to go? @zaunseye

  "Business. And pleasure."

Dreaming of everything, she truly expected nothing as a true daughter of Zaun should - and she always has been one in her heart of darkness and botanic science. As a fragile flower in her appearance, Corina quickly rose to become the youngest chem baroness beginning her industrial journey as other baroness' most precious protegee. Two women found mutual respect worlds apart. They were elements that are destined to differ. Steel and art. One cherished dangerous beauty embodied in delicacy of petals with toxin hidden in every stem. Other was very practical and strict prefering metal and gear. Between Veraza and Glasc there was however always a silent understanding. Eventually, under strong metal wings of powerful Renata Glasc, Corina would blossom growing her very own roots. And her roots were running deep now. In the eye of many Zaunities she was a sorceress. They believed that deep in the glass - shaped cultivars, magic rituals of enchantment took place and Corina herself did absolutely nothing to prove the Downsiders wrong. She walked across Zaun with grace. Intoxicating. Yearning for the world to be spellbound. The connection she created with her plants felt ethereal, unworldly and unreal yet she was no mage, only a talented scientist. Was she? (Silco's quarters, midnight) Corina emerged from shadows slowly walking down the stairs. Her green dress made of luxury lace was sleeveless, revealing legs and mid - calf long. Her gloves were long. Her ankles covered in climbing vines were no tattoo. Toxic plants entwisted her skin with adoration; tight as dark ropes. - Hush. - Corina whispered with love, her tone tender and sweet. Vines vanished. It understood. Veraza wanted to be alone. Flowers in chem baroness' hair formed a subtle tiara of belladonna's wreath. Deadly, poisonous and delightfully poetic. Silco knew his guest's face and she instantly recognised his tall and slender elegant silhouette as well. The Enchantress came closer. She smiled. - I do still have my most faithful messengers in Piltover but for now, the sound of my name is too loud. I was cleared of charges and I am not wanted yet but the young Kiramman is smart. Shouldn't be underestimated. - Recalling the moment of her being exposed and burnt as a master infiltrator, she offered a new perspective. She always did. Corina was one step ahead her rivals but this time her rival was a challenge; another Mastermind indeed. - I will stay away from the Upper City for a while but I have found someone special. He is spineless, corrupted and with no moral code. You will be delighted. I regret not introducing you personally to this young sheriff enforcer. His name is Marcus and he has a daughter. I'm wondering how much he will cost you but he may be useful. Another gift. Perhaps better one than a pet rat but worse than personal seeds of toxic plants?
