He had returned mostly unscathed. Sure, the few bruises on his neck or the currently invisible one on his torso didn’t really mean much to him. They weren’t worth mentioning or even parading them around like some collected trophies of their enemies. He never liked the idea of keeping something one’s enemy once possessed, especially not to show off somebody’s triumph. Usually, whenever he was done, there was nothing to be seen as a trophy, except glory, power, value. 

The same value he craved today. Walking through the hall, he greeted everybody with a bright grin, awaiting his sister’s arrival at the party while keeping the guests happy. “I don’t remember such an abundance of guests from previous events. I really do hope you’re here to celebrate and are not one of my father’s orchestrated guests,” he grinned, “to us,” he raised a glass of wine, “care for a dance afterward? A chat? I’ve got a few secrets I could get you in on.”

Oriana had served with the prince in battle, with both of them being vrajit and having opposing powers or similar strength. “I’m here to do whatever you hate more,” she shot back, taking a sip of the wine she was currently drinking. Perhaps if she imbibed enough, the festivities would be tolerable. 

“Congratulations, Your Highness. I don’t know how you managed to score such a beautiful bride-to-be, but I’m happy for you,” the woman jested as she raised her goblet to him in return. It was glaringly obvious how he got Lady Brasecu; Malachai was the most eligible bachelor in the kingdom, and the heir to the throne. “I don’t dance, and we’re already chatting. You’re asking a lot of me right now, you know. Just because you’re getting married doesn’t mean I’m going to indulge you.”

adeline rudolph . cis woman . she / her . wasn’t that oriana costiniu walking the palace grounds ? it’s nice to see the lady of malsovia out and about on such a fine day as this. i’ve heard from the court spies that they notoriously stoic, whilst also managing to be quite resourceful. the twenty five year old is eager to find out who exactly is behind the killings from what’s being said at court. i heard that they themselves are vrajiit ( ice & cold manipulation ). it’s funny, whenever i think of them, i think of the first snowfall of winter, charging into battle while wearing a gown, the grand clock striking midnight. great to see the ice queen around, isn’t it ? 

full name: oriana nari costiniu  age: twenty-five birthday: december 21, 125 a.d. species: human, vrajit abilities: ice & cold manipulation station: noblewoman occupation: lady of malsovia religion: one true god (for now) sexuality: assumed straight, she never really gave it much thought

fictional character inspo: shiv roy (succession), queen elsa (frozen), sansa stark (game of thrones), lady macbeth (macbeth), beth harmon (the queen’s gambit), petra solano (jane the virgin)

songs: you’re on your own kid (taylor swift), bad guy (billie eilish), nightmare (halsey)

during the winter solstice of the year 125 a.d., the lady of malsovia gave birth to her first daughter after an arduous labor. lord and lady costiniu were delighted to have a daughter, a little girl to one day become an elegant noblewoman. or so they thought.

oriana grew up religious, attending mass every sunday with her family and believing in the words of the one true god. the daughter of lord and lady costiniu would surely know what is expected of her by her people.

the discovery of her cryokinetic powers came when she was a girl of twelve, exploring the forests with her friends when they came upon a wild boar. assuming that that would be the day they were mauled, oriana instinctively shielded her face from damage but when she opened her eyes, the boar had been attacked by icicles. the noble girl’s cold hands were evidence enough of what had happened; like her older brother, she was a vrajit. and that was when her life’s course had changed. 

the vrajit’s purpose was to serve their god and the people of walochnia, and the pious people of malsovia would have rioted if the costiniu family had it any other way. and so she was escorted to the capital city to begin her studies, taught by her fellow vrajit. incredibly skilled at wielding her cryokinetic powers

five years of service in the army followed, with oriana having just been released from her obligation and figuring out what next to do. as a noblewoman, she is not required to continue serving the king.

oriana has a bit of a god complex, which she keeps to herself given her culture’s piety towards adi and them having driven out the cult years ago. but now that she’s in the capital and learning more about vrajit, she can’t help but be curious about what it could be like if they were just appreciated a bit more for all that they do

as a result of being nothing but a weapon, oriana has molded herself into such. always ready for battle and to defend herself. does not know the meaning of peace, ever.

headcanons/miscellaneous

loves high fashion and has advocated for more stylish armor on the battlefield

tends to dress in all black or ice-related colors. although for formal events she dons the purple and gold of the costiniu family’s banners. 

a complete daddy’s girl, is definitely her father’s favorite child

has no desire to marry, and has actively avoided it until now

her blonde highlights at the front of her face were as a result of her ice powers, trying them on herself once

wanted connections

a midnight rain connection, with her of course being the midnight rain

her one closest friend aka the person who gets the defrosted part of her personality

her older brothers and younger sister (must be half korean)

someone to challenge her religious beliefs and expose her to the other religions

tbd !!!

The Evermore Grimoire: Powers

Cryokinesis is the power to create, shape and manipulate ice and water into a solid state. As an elemental power, it has a nigh-limitless number of uses, only limited by the wielder’s imagination and their natural limits. Fundamentally though, they would be able to generate ice through various means, such as lowering the temperature of the surrounding air until solid ice forms or by freezing nearby water sources. They can also release and channel ice in the form of ice beams that freeze whatever it comes into contact with, or extremely rigid and durable ice walls and domes that can be used offensively and defensively. There’s also the capacity to use ice in order to freeze one’s opponents to death by trapping them in ice that slowly kills their cells, or shattering them to pieces once frozen.
