Description & Personality To catch a glimpse of her eye you'd notice the sparkle of mischief that her father shares, though she'd deny that is where she gets it from. Those deep mahogany orbs hide a depth of spirit most rarely see, instead Anne portrays the safe and superficial confidence that comes with practiced ease. Her wild array of braids pull the hair away from her face, ensuring her features are witnessed, unshy to show her moss-colored skin in this orc-friendly town. The style also reveals her pointed ears, which she proudly states call to her elven heritage. She seems unphased by the odd stares and quizzical looks that claim brings. Upon that earth-toned flesh is often a pattern of paints that have no rhyme or reason, but appear to belong exactly where they are placed, as though she would not have been complete without them. The same could be said of her numerous piercings, which adorn her brow, lip, ears, and belly. Would she be beautiful without them? Yes. Does their presence enhance that beauty? Absolutely. The necklaceI like to think this is from her dad, but she doesn't know this. that rests on her chest is made of cheap pewter but was a gift from Dot on her twelfth birthday. How the skeleton knew it was her birthday, or how it was able to acquire the gift, Anne has never asked, but it has been a cherished possession ever since. It is never obstructed from view as her shirts are always strapless. Not for the reason most young women would wear a strapless top, for Anne it is a matter of practicality. It is easier to clean her skin than it is to remove paint from the fabric of sleeves. Her pants are almost always loose-fitted and billow in the wind. All of her appearance is focused on the choices she has made to present to the world. Yveran Tallindor knows she is the daughter of a necromancer who terrorized the city. The investigators and magistrates of the government questioned her many times, sharing the truth of who her father was in the process. They destroyed the heroic image she had of the man who had raised her, twisted the memories she clung to and turned him into the villain in her life. But admitting that, succumbing to that, would allow those who judged her from a distance to win, and that was something the prideful young woman would not allow. Instead, Anne chose not to use words she struggled to pronounce because of her tusks, including her given name. She did not ask for help, she smiled when there was no reason to, and she offered kindness to spite the elitists. Her art hid her pain and her loneliness, as did her drinking and the dark quotes pulled from playful poetry. Private Content for: bwatford, Basil_Bottletop, Gralhruk, LucianV, RobMatthys On her mid back, Anne has a tattoo of a crow. Although she claims she likes the foreboding look of the blackbird, in truth it is an homage to the nickname her father calls her. Scarecrow. She claims to hate it, but secretly she adores it. Not that she'll ever admit it. Backstory The bridge will only take you halfway there, To those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, And moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and Share the twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone. - Klam PewtercupThis is Shel Silverstein. Anytime she is quoting poetry or Pewtercup, credit goes to Silverstein. I've decided he must be a halfling. It was a favorite of hers when she was a child. The fantastical idea that all the world was available, all its odd and curious things could be had, if she was simply willing to take the next step alone. To an eight year old, with a quirky father and missing mother, Yveran clung to the thought anything was possible, perhaps even finding her mom, or a unicorn, or a gypsy. This same poem took on a very different meaning to a nine year old who was abandoned. Deserted in the shambles of the home that once was, surrounded by the undead caregivers her no-longer-quirky father left for her. At that young age, the half-orc discovered there were often two meanings to anything anyone said. She decided that, although Pewtercup had been a favored poet of the family for years, this particular poem was read to her repeatedly with intention. Dad was trying to prepare her to be alone. To walk that bridge by herself. It was a bitter education for the young girl to discover on her own. But she dove into the other writings of the halfling poet, convinced there were other words of wisdom for her to learn from. Anne did more than find a tutor in Pewtercup’s poems, she found inspiration and solace for her lonely life. Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child, Listen to the DON'TS Listen to the SHOULDN'TS The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS Listen to the NEVER HAVES Then listen close to me— Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be. These were gifts of survival. They told her things the skeletons and zombies were unable to. They whispered to her to be herself, to find her way and to be free on this path. And so she was. She found art supplies that had managed to not be destroyed in the attack that led to her father’s arrest. Jars of paints in all the colors of the rainbow were put to use bringing light to the darkest days of the young girl’s life. Strangers thought she was odd, which meant everyone thought she was odd, as no adult had considered claiming the daughter of the necromancer. She remained abandoned, surrounded by the walking dead whose sole mission was to care for their creator’s child. With the paints as her sole magic, the brushes answered her command and brought life to the pallid nannies who followed her. Rosie and Dot quickly became her favorites, a zombie with a flower painted on its forehead and skeleton covered in multicolored polka-dots. Others had names and decorations that she would retouch many times over the years, and as she aged, her talent grew. Not afraid of hard labor, Anne used scraps of fallen lumber to patch the holes in her home. Without admitting it, she hoped to patch the holes in her heart. With each nail, she discovered a wave of anger, the poem was no longer an education she was provided by her father, but a cruel joke. He had built a wonderful life, or what she believed was a wonderful life, but each strike of the hammer had her questioning how wonderful was the life he had built? Underneath my outside face There's a face that none can see. A little less smiley, A little less sure, But a whole lot more like me. She turned fourteen alone in her abandoned home. Nearly half a lifetime ago her father had left her to fend for herself. And she had. Survived for far longer and better than most children with a house full of undead could have. Anne had learned to bolster herself with confidence to reduce the number of questions she would receive. Her ability to win over others was a gift she must have received from her mother, and she put it to good use. Or at least, she felt it was good use, and the barkeep who always was paid never complained. The patrons of The Twisted Tap quickly became used to seeing Rosie shambling into the tavern to carry a drunk young half-orc home. The alcohol did little to answer the questions that continued to grow in her young mind. What had happened to her mom? Why did he never talk about her? Not all half-orcs have pointed ears, but she did. Did that mean she was part elf too? Yes it did. *** ** * ** *** Spittle dripped from her lip on her sixteenth birthday, to the wooden bar top. She was unaware of the eyes that watched her from across the tavern. Unaware of the questions he asked of strangers. Anne was mildly aware when strong arms lifted her up, not the bony and loose skinned arms of Rosie. She saw his ear first and announced to him she was a quarter elf. His silence and steady steps did little to sober her. Anne simply began to recite one of her recent favorites of Pewtercup’s, for certainly this individual needed to be enlightened by the poet’s words. Enter this deserted house But please walk softly as you do. Frogs dwell here and crickets too. Ain't no ceiling, only blue Jays dwell here and sunbeams too. Floors are flowers - take a few. Ferns grow here and daisies too. Whoosh, swoosh - too-whit, too-woo, Bats dwell here and hoot owls too. Ha-ha-ha,hee-hee,hoo-hoooo, Gnomes dwell here and goblins too. And my child, I thought you knew I dwell here...and so do you. And this was how Anne met her best friend. Or, at least, that was how he met her. She didn’t remember him. Perhaps it was her age, or perhaps it was finding true friendship, regardless, it was then that her magic began to flourish. Initially, the daughter of the necromancer attempted to refuse her gifts, but the effort was futile. Unlike her father who had to study for his abilities, Yveran’s were natural. However, she did discover she could decide how the gifts could be used. She focused her magic on what she felt were most beneficial to her survival and her growing art following. Above her bed, she painted her now favorite quote of Pewtercup’s. But all the magic I have known I've had to make myself. It was a lie, of course. Her dad had used impressive magic to create her caregiver army, along with getting himself in trouble with the city to begin with. But she liked the lie, it denied a power to her father who had cursed her to this lonely life and made her feel more unique, a piece of art herself. She had once thought her father quirky, and now the city thought the same of her. Anne had become a sought-after artist, her expressionism and strong use of colors on large canvases drew the attention of the buyers. Her eccentric ways were accepted as part of the creative process. Iym just rolled his eyes at her, which always produced a wide toothy grin from the quarter-elf. However, without her friend knowing, she had become involved with The Resistance. Her skills with a paintbrush were used to tag buildings in order to relay messages to others, without the need for meetings. Anne knew Iym would disapprove of defacing city buildings, so she perfected her ability to lie to the only living person who had ever seemed to actually care for her. Once again, Klam Pewtercup came through with sage advice. There is a voice inside of you That whispers all day long, "I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong." No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What's right for you--just listen to The voice that speaks inside. Relationships Dad: At the age of nine, the hero of her world was arrested. Soon Anne discovered he was no hero, nor amazing father, and perhaps her life was better for his absence. Iymbryl Darcassan: Her unlikely best friend. His dislike for the unorderly and disapproval of unlawful conduct has kept her from falling farther into disarray. Belfyr: Card table acquaintance. Anne has lost a bit of coin to the half-elf. Bronn: Card table acquaintance. Anne has lost a bit of coin to the dwarf.
