!!!Backstory:
Born and raised in Muffey, Scuro and her sister Chiaro (
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=83) were raised as any galdori children: taught the importance of manners and promptness, to read and write well and with distinction, and to remember their place in the world—high above passives, humans, and wicks. This last lesson was an important value to their parents, minor nobles who had built a small empire of a business. Their numerous plantations “employed” hundreds of humans, as well as the occasional passive and wick charged to ‘indentured service.” These plantations fueled a thriving business of textiles and fine wine, with multiple shops in all three major cities, as well as some smaller ports and trade route towns.
Having grown in Muffey, the girls were accustomed to riots and protests, but they were unprepared when, at age nine, their mother was killed in a violent riot. Although they hadn’t been close, it was the principle of the thing. Their mother’s death at the hands of humans and passives only cemented their feelings toward these people. It caused them to view the groups as violent rats, in need of galdor maintenance. In Scuro’s case, she viewed them as a danger to the harmonious galdor existence, and in order to maintain the superior lifestyle, culture, and peace to which the galdori had become accustomed, they needed to be quashed into submission, and have their numbers reduced if need be.
At ten the girls were sent to Brunnhold by their father, who had the highest hopes for their success. His hope was not misplaced, as Chiaro entered with a score of 7.7, and Scuro began with a shocking 9.3. Their ten years of schooling went in a flash, as the girls helped one another in their classes, passing leaps and bounds above most other schoolmates, even in advanced courses. The twins graduated top of their class, for which their father rewarded them handsomely, as they became his bragging rights over the nobles higher on the social ladder. Their graduation gift was a sprawling plantation across the river from Vienda, reaching the edge of the Wraithwine Wood, already running and operational as a winery. The manor was located on the city-side of the property, taking less than an hour to reach the capitol by moa. Which was handy, as they began their ambitious dreams of success by joining the Seventen. Joining as the Seventen’s most promising recruits, three years later (after grueling training in weapons and specializing in offensive magics), the girls “graduated,” once again top of their “class,” and are currently awaiting their first assignments from the Chair.
!!!Personality:
Scuro is much harsher than her sister, Chiaro. She tends to be stubborn, and is incredibly sed in her ways. She is viewed as aloof by most, bossy by many, and she knows (but does practically nothing about it) that she pushes others around. Including her sister, though to a much lesser degree.
She is secure in her position as a galdor noble of high financial standing, and would have no qualms about giving or receiving bribes. If, that is, it was for the good of the galdori, and the right price. Her view of humans and passives is as if she were regarding something nasty that she had stepped in: that it should be cleaned off her shoe immediately, and that the dog that did the deed be disposed of. Barring that, burn the shoe.
She favors magic as her weapon of choice (less messy, as it were), though she is undisputedly skilled with a blade.
!!!Description:
Scuro is identical to Chiaro in her face and form. Their skin tone (a warm but pale tone) is identical, they are both slight (deceptively so: their Seventen training left them with lean muscle), and short. Scuro keeps her deep auburn hair cropped short, as an issue of practicality. Although mildly envious of her sister’s long hair, she remembers why she keeps it short when she sees other Seventen women’s locks tangled after a day of battle practice. Her almond eyes are a lighter shade of green than her twin’s, a little more yellow-grey, and could almost be called hazel. Her straight brows are quick to furrow in disapproval, though her mouth does know how to smile. Usually at a personal victory or to laugh at the pitiful antics of the underclasses.
When she is not in uniform, she and her sister favor purple, and dress in similar (if not identical) styles. Despite the practicality of trousers, Scuro prefers skirts. It is her one frivolity. They tend to accessorize individually, Scuro showing a preference for pearls, her favorite accessories being pearl drop earrings and a three-strand pearl choker. Neither twin goes without her blue scrying-stone ring.
