most wytches are in fact born wytches. this is a genetical gift that is passed down through generations, however, not every family member receives the gift. while some think that wytches are a symbol of dark magic - but that is not always the case. wytches have a choice, while dark magic does exist - it is not something a wytch needs to perform. dark magic can be extremely dangerous and life threatening and is quite difficult to control. wytches are by all accounts human, they just possess a special supernatural ability. this ability starts to manifest itself around the age of 12, though sometimes sooner - and in others it happens later. though wytches are considered to be ultimately powerful - they did in fact create vaympires and weyrwolves… though this was through the use of dark magic.
they say all dreams are bathed in some semblance of truth; some piece of the past slithers its way into the limitless bounds of the unconscious mind and dictates those fleeting visions. perhaps, as cliche as it is, it is the reason violca most often dreamed of the stars. her first memory is shrouded in a warm darkness; clothes soaked in blood and smelling strongly of copper, protective arms wrapped tightly around her small frame, the wind slicing through her hair at an unprecedented speed as teary eyes darted between the face of her protector and the stars that bore witness to their union. those illusive yet comforting balls of light were the only other witnesses to that night, one of three who held the key to the truth.
tears were tenderly brushed away from puffy cheeks as soothing words were whispered again and again by the man and woman before her: “we will protect you.” it was a promise kept, a bond sealed.
she adapted to her surroundings with a quickness bathed in fleeting innocence. astarte and warin told her the truth of her blood, the lack of theirs, and the barbarity of the world. They themselves were monsters, a trait they had no intention of hiding; and in a way, so was she. wytch sounded like a divine name when it fell from their lips, a curse when it fell from others. the lore of her kind and theirs were told with such particulars that it felt as if she were the student, and they the teachers. as violca grew, with intoxicating blood and knowledge flowing through her veins, it was easy to understand the different damnations that befell mortal and immortal flesh, and the hierarchy of the world. in the vaympire nest, she, at first, was the prey, next, the predator, and in time, family.
she grew with the ferocity of her father banging in her heart, thrashing against the cage of ribs in her chest. she grew with the wisdom of her mother, the slights of hand that made women the most formidable beast. it was another woman, one who seems but a fleeting memory now, nothing more than a shadow, who taught her what it was to be a wytch. spells were whispered with careful fierceness, each word heavy with intention but light upon her lips. control was the subject most difficult to the witch; emotions ran like lava in her veins, anger or frustration often ruining the intricate enchantments and exploding whatever objects that unfortunately lay in her path.
when it seemed violca would burn from the inside out, only the soothing voices and familiar hands of her mother and father could quell the chaos. they loved ferociously and without reserve.
in the present day at twenty-seven years of age, violca is nothing short of a chimera. quick witted with smoky lungs, she’s often underestimated by strangers, approached cautiously by those who know better. becoming a professor was a leap of faith, an unbiased passion that contradicted the divination that flowed through her veins. science was the death of magic; or so the world thought. what began as a love affair with math quickly blossomed into a polyamorous relationship with astronomy included. there was something in the numbers, something in the stars that fulfilled a void present in the wytch; it had the ability to bury the ever-burning ire in her body and forge it into something new. what pulled her to the stars, she didn’t know; but violca would follow the unknown through college, through a master’s program, and straight to professorship at astoria university. she is poised and professional in the classroom, inspiring and helpful when it comes to her students, but still her delusive nature cannot be completely quelled. she listens for hours to the conversations of others, unnoticed and undetected. she absorbs secretes like a sponge, scavenging like a veteran pirate in the open seas, always wanting more. to her, those whispers are worth their weight in gold, used like jigsaw pieces in her unconscious mind to solve the sadistic reoccurring puzzle that has crept up like a dense fog in the forefront of her dreams. it has instilled fear in her heart, the sole threat to a once unshakeable sanity.
✗ ASTARTE MYERS & WARIN D’ARDENNE - her adoptive parents, the ones that proved to her that even the worst of the monsters are capable of love. she has heard the stories, the legends about their past. whispers, rumors. to her they are loving parents. to others they are the material of nightmares. it’s not like she can change them, all she can do is accept them for whom they really are. *This character/connection being crossed means the character will be posted in the future.
✗ BAÁL - who the hell does he think he is coming into town and making her mother sad? She was warned by her mother to stay away from him, but let’s be real she is too curious to pass the chance to know more about her adoptive parents past. in the meantime she will just pray that he dies and this time forever. maybe someone will listen to her prayers. . *This character/connection being crossed means the character will be posted in the future.
✗ PHI PHI OMEGA SORORITY - she can´t help but to feel curious about them. and after meeting some of the wytches, mostly their leader she wonders if maybe they could get along. she is willing to be the connection between the two her parents affair ( meaning, vaympire affairs ) if it comes down to it.
✗ THE HIGH PRIESTESS - a wytch that astarte saved from burning in a fire built by the spanish inquisition. the wytch turned vaympire was her master in the magical arts. while the vaympire can no longer practise magic the knowledge remains intact and she passed it to the young witch. *This character/connection being crossed means the character will be posted in the future.
Her face claim is SOFIA BOUTELLA and she’s played by NIKKI.
