marital : n/a
❝ She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”❞
― A.A. Milne
Revered is the dead of winter, the bite of frost that fells the final tree.. Snow-laden lashes cradle opalite eyes that espy the world with a scrutiny unending. Despite the frigid fingers and crisp breath, their disposition reflects opposite. Easy-going, friendly, charitable— things that one might notice upon first meet. They'll laugh against knuckles and dismiss your questions with half-truths when you ask them where they're from, or if they're ill, or if there's something wrong with their aether. It doesn't take a Sharlayan-born to understand something is horribly amiss, and they do not belong.

Masc: SPHINX - Dragon's Dogma

scars : A missing wedding finger, forever bound to a memory of you.

siblings : n/a
stand-out traits : A fae-faced thing that looks like an outsider just as much as he tends to be one. A long, tufted tail, sloped ears and runes all draw her further and further away from her kin. He is frigid to the touch, fingers tainted with frostbite.

❝For I will shelter you.
And I will comfort you.
And even when we are nothing left,
not even in death,
I will remember you.

Show me the way Seeking a guide, a northern star for your weary travels? Adept in navigation, those needing someone to translate the stars or find a path forward without may find assistance within the Keeper.
Shut up and Dance Odd thing to find someone on their lonesome dancing about a fire; singing and laughing as if surrounded by friends, by family. She's no qualms about someone joining her festivities— someone warm, someone breathing, someone living.
It lead me to you Several travelers who have lost their way state they've seen a familiar of a stag; built of stars and lacking a corporeal form. Some have been desperate enough to chase it, and at the end of the road they've found him. Some make it back alive to tell the tale, although not many believe them, and some are never seen again.. forever lost to the wasteland.
It's just a flesh wound Rest, now. Let someone tend to your wounds, your worries. A warm blanket, a roaring hearth, a soothing balm, and the gentle caress of night as you are spun back together. There is no better medicine.
I need a light party Hoping for an extra set of hands on your adventures? They're not opposed to tagging along. Skilled with a bow, with arrows born of ice and aether, they make for a perfect ranged addition to balance a team out. Not to mention support with the wounded. The downside? She'll probably come with an extra mouth or two to feed, as she's never without a beast of some kind.

Filthy impetuous soul.
“I have seen the dark universe yawning. Where the black planets roll without aim, where they roll in their horror unheeded; without knowledge, or lustre, or name.”
— H.P Lovecraft
Sweet blackbird, darling dearest.. you deserve more than anyone to spread your wings and flourish, to abandon this nest. To chirp, sing, flutter, fly. Whoever clipped you will never know the warmth of another dawn.
“Despite everything; it's still you.
— Undertale
Summer rain, here to wash and nourish.. only your rain is not of water, dust, pollen nor sea salt. It is crimson, and violent and pure.
“Killing must feel good to god, too. He does it all the time, and are we not created in His image?”
— Hannibal
The strength and compassion you carry is beyond your years, gentle hands that have not been returned the favor. Solace and peace are far too late to your hearth.
“The hands that cradled your face and tilted it upwards to kiss your forehead are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood.”
— Unknown
LYNX
You are the melody in the songbirds and the warmth in the air. Oft I am found envious of your design, but comforted that you have found your way to someone most deserving.
“The moon is hummin', lovely melodies. The forest echoes, the trees are crowing hungry harmonies.”
— The Crane Wives
CYGNUS
The sidelines do not suit you well, but neither does the stage. you are a performance, a one man band, but you are not playing for yourself and your crowd has left the seats empty. Where do you belong when the lights are off and the curtains fall?
“I float in a boat in a raging black ocean, low in the water and nowhere to go.”
— Heathers
How heavy is the burden of your sword? Does it leave aches in your shoulders and spine in the morning, when you twist does your body remind you it is there? Or are you conditioned to its presence, unaware the years have caked rust and blood upon it that it no longer looks like a sword— but instead something disfigured and distant. Do you see yourself in the reflection when you splatter someone's husband upon your blade?
“The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.”
