( fah yongwaree. cis female. she/her. 8 & billie eilish. ) i heard HONEY APINYA singing the other night, though it didn’t sound like english. it’s so admirable that someone who’s only TWENTY-THREE can sing latin so fluently! i hear they hang out with the TACITUM coven, but they’re also a VET STUDENT at CORNELL UNIVERSITY. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to BROOKLYN by SUBWAY !

hello hello ! this is honey, another apinya and the sweetest witch you'll ever meet !
born to an estranged member of the apinya family, honey was given up to be raised by coven members and her practicing aunt for as long as she can remember. sort of a baby-in-a-basket scenario, but with more forewarning.
her mother, bee, ran away from home quite young with the desire to leave witchcraft and the coven behind. not too long after this, honey showed up at her aunt's home with a note and nothing else. as far as honey is concerned, her aunt is her mother. she never knew bee the way anyone else did, and she's always found herself at home with the rest of the apinyas.
growing up on the shyer side, honey has always been rather tender-hearted. she's always been empathetic nearly to a fault. especially as a child, this tended to take a toll on her as she had a habit of taking on the feelings and emotions of everyone around her. as she grew older, this became easier to manage !
DEATH TW / around her high school years, honey became heavily involved with a hunter, gael ! this proved controversial, especially as her aunt had a heavy dislike for hunters. their meeting was entirely coincidental, and their relationship rather star-crossed. much to her aunt's dismay, honey and gael stayed together for most of their teenage years. just before her twenty-first birthday, gael was killed on a hunting excursion by a werewolf ( wanted connection ) !
the abrupt lost took a toll on honey, who spent ( and still spends ) a lot of time grieving. though honey had always been on the bubbly side, she started to spend more time alone, buried herself in work with the excuse that veterinary school was busy and stressful ( it was ), and was much more reclusive. her mean streak for werewolves isn't gone, though, even if she's worked heavily on returning to her old self over the last couple of years.
due to her heavy involvement with a hunter, over the years she'd become a sort of bridge between her immediate coven members and certain hunters. a lot of honey's witchcraft revolved around hunters - including crafting their potions and creating remedies for sustained injuries.
honey has walked the line of neutrality, the name of the apinya game, quite naturally her entire life. her philosophy is do no harm, though in general all actions, especially in the supernatural world they live in, has consequence. for the most part, honey does her best to respect everyone's right to make decisions for themselves. this is the only reason she's gone on with making hunter potions for so long.
KIDNAPPING TW / due to her skills, over the last summer she disappeared for nearly two months. while she'd developed relationships with other hunter friends and family of gael , there were still plenty of rogue hunters who had no alliance or interest in making nice with witches. with honey's expertise in witchcraft that benefited hunters, they decided to kidnap her on her routine route home after one of her classes. being held captive for six weeks, honey was used for her magic to help hunters stock up on potions and other things to give them an advantage. at times, she had to experiment on their behalf to get them desired results, which went on until the apinyas found her and rescued her ( more wanted connections / plots ) !
since then, honey's distrust for mostly everyone has grown. while growing up in a warm environment had ensured honey always gave others the benefit of the doubt, her experiences in the last few months and years have shaped the way she sees things : from the werewolf that killed gael and the hunters who took her, honey's developed a shell under the soft exterior.
personality-wise, though, honey still exudes kindness. there's a tenderness to her that can't be erased. while she may be wary of others, her desire to help often wins out. this often means she forces herself to push past the anxiety attached to her past experiences.
honey's temper is generally non-existent, although she does have her limits. she's more likely to retreat ... and cry first, if anything. she's much more of an emotional person who is far likely to be hurt and upset than to be angry. and despite her defenses telling her better, she still has a penchant for developing attachments to people before she fully should. it's not hard to weasel your way into honey's heart, if only because she has a huge one !
