The only jewelry Liona would really like to wear is the one that involves daggers tbh. And I'm not just talking about actual daggers but also like cute little earrings etc :')

MOODBOARD: LIONA DE’ MEDICI

“She was a storm: sudden, powerful, violent, devastating, and utterly magnificent.”

historianeglecta‌ / Louise

it felt a little awkward if only because somehow she’d thought she’d go her whole life without ever seeing anyone from her paternal family. it was not exactly easy for her, so completely isolated and surrounded by people who did their very best to try and sever her ties with anything to do with italy, with ties to her father. “ hello, you must be liona. ” her words were almost whispered, so softly and shyly spoken. it could not be helped, for she had no idea how to act in front of her older half-sister she had merely known about. “ aunt lucrezia mentioned you in her letters. ” it was so unexpected. but not unwelcome, far far from it.

The smile on her face was a rather awkward one. But the other girl seemed equally nervous and that observation had a strangely comforting effect on her. Even though Liona had already met two of her other siblings, this time felt quite different. After all Louise is the legitimate heir, a duchess. Could she even simply adress her as sisters would? “Indeed, I am. It’s my pleasure! I hope I’m not intruding.” Her visit had come quite unexpected and spontaneous, she was well aware of that. “Oh, Aunt Lucrezia.” Fond memories of the last years in Ferrara filled Liona’s mind, before the sadness shone through for just an instant. “She would’ve loved to see you.”

my new favourite thing is Liona, suddenly appearing in Valence ca. 1520 like “Hi i’m your half sister! I got kicked out of Ferrara and I didn’t want to return to my mother, sooo I thought I’d see a bit more of the world and visit this place! And  ... you ... I guess.”

LIONA DE’ MEDICI (WITH HER FATHER’S SWORD)

[figliadeltoro]

liona + cesare’s sword

After Cesare’s death his most personal belongings, includings his sword, are send back to Italy, to his sister Lucrezia in Ferrara. Liona already lives with he aunt at that time (which she does until 1519) and Lucrezia decides to give the sword to her niece. In every verse, Liona holds it in high regard and keeps it with her, wherever she goes. In her assassin’s creed verse, she actually uses it too and it serves as a constant reminder of what she’s lost.

i’m thinking about using caitriona as an alternative fc??

  CESARE SWALLOWS - despite attempting to hide it he supposes he has been obvious. Showering his daughter in gifts , silks for new dresses , beautiful combs and dolls. THIS WAS REPETITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR WHENEVER HE MUST LEAVE. “I do.” He admits , his eyes finding his daughter. She is so much of her mother , of the Medici but those eyes? those are all his. “I will not be gone i promise you.” He moves to kneel in front of her. “And when i return i shall have more presents for you.” Material objects couldn’t comfort a child however ; not when her father was going off to war.

She can feel her heart drop, hands clench. He’s gonna be leaving them to go to war again, for months perhaps. The short moment of pride at the fact, that she read the signs right, vanishes instantly. Their gazes are still locked and suddenly Liona’s eyes start to burn. No, she won’t cry. She has to stay strong now.

“I don’t need presents. As long as you come back.” As long as he will wrap his arms around her again and tell her stories about his victories soon. “You will, won’t you?”

STARTER CALL !!

liona @ every assassin in the ac verse: 

[figliadeltoro]

requiescatiinpace‌:

    HE EYES THE BLADE WARILY - such darkness ; such desire for revenge. He had lived this way for a long time , he knows the allure and it’s consequences. “It brought me no joy to make you fatherless Madonna.” EZIO EYES HER WARILY. “Nor do i wish to hurt you. Please do not force me to protect myself.” The young woman had caught him off guard but oh those eyes , he knew those eyes. HE HAD LOOKED INTO THEM AS HE HAD THROWN CESARE BORGIA FROM THE BATTLEMENTS. “Your father caused pain and suffering , he lost his way and was unable to find it back.” Could Ezio have done more? he often wonders.

The hand that holds the blade remains steady, while cold eyes observe the man she’d been searching for so long. Her father’s murderer.  He’s old now, yes, but Liona has no intention to underestimate him. In the last few years she’d heared enough stories about Ezio Auditore and his skills to stay careful. It  doesn’t matter wether it brought him joy or not - only that he is responsible. “And what gives you, an assassin, the right to judge my father’s actions? How do you decide that you’re worthy of living and he wasn’t?” Liona utters these words with clenched teeth, a clear sign that she’s starting to lose her temper.

liona + resemblance 

Liona is really a balanced mixture of her parents when it comes to her appearance. Her overall facial features (mostly nose and mouth) are very much the Medici/Vespucci side. But her eyes, their shape and their colour are exactly her father’s. Everyone who knows Cesare can clearly see the striking resemblance, especially  together with her dark hair, another Borgia inheritance.
