I finally made my Vampire oc !! I’m not set on the name yet but I’m thinkinggg Corvina?

Made for School Of Little Vampires, she’s the art / creatives teacher! She’s a pretty laid back teacher, which in turn allows the students to get into a bunch of hijinks and other trouble, but she does care for the students a lot. Idk if her romantic interest would be Lady Kryptina or Count Alarich but let’s face it I was gonna do art for both lol

I want her to have a pet but idk what yet. Probably either a giant snake / basilisk or a dragon owl (specifically the mother of Fluffy from that one episode)??

As for her outfit I really wanted her to have a green ribbon (like the girl with the green ribbon around her neck story) and her dress is inspired by this 👇 except a lil different

+40 corvina: újabb kincsekkel gazdagodott a nemzeti könyvtár digitális gyűjteménye

Az ÖNB negyven corvinájának átadása különleges jelentőséggel bír, hiszen a bécsi gyűjtemény a legnagyobb corvinaállomány a világon. A XVI. század elején a bécsi humanisták, köztük Johannes Gremper, Johannes Cuspinianus és Johannes Brassicanus játszottak kulcsszerepet abban, hogy számos értékes kódex Budáról Bécsbe kerüljön és így elkerülje a pusztulást a török hódítást követően. Így maradt fenn többek között a híres Philostratos-corvina is, amelyet Gremper szerzett meg II. Ulászló királytól 1513-ban. A bécsi tudósok munkássága hozzájárult ahhoz, hogy a Corvina könyvtár antik és bizánci művei, valamint a keresztény egyházatyák írásai utat találjanak az európai tudományos köztudatba.  

A most átadott digitális kincsek egy közös osztrák–magyar kutatási projekt keretében készültek, amelyben az ÖNB, az Osztrák Tudományos Akadémia és az OSZK szakemberei működtek együtt. Magyar részről Zsupán Edina és Rozsondai Marianne kötéstörténész vesznek részt a feldolgozásban. A munka során részletes katalógus készül, amely az OSZK Supplementum Corvinianum sorozatában és az ÖNB elektronikus kiadványaként is megjelenik.

Dividers by @arcielee

He shouldn’t crave her as much as he does, but he can’t help himself. It didn’t matter that she was a vampire, his sworn enemy, because he did love her just as she loved him. He loved how she felt against him and she loved the way she didn’t have to hold back when things got rough during their intimate moments.

The illicit affair started back after Uhtred was banished from Wessex, when they had moved to Dunholm for a time. The Saxons were on edge, now that Alfreds dog was unleashed and roaming free, but Uhtred packed up the Coocham pack and didn’t look back. It was on a rare solo hunt when Sihtric first met Corvina, her pale skin and red eyes ensnaring him rather than putting him on edge. She claimed she was hunting some human criminal, but Sihtric found he didn’t actually care. He just wanted her and she wanted him. Naturally, that first meeting ended with Sihtric pinning Corvina to a tree as he ravaged her, the image of her crying out his name burned into his memories.

They continued to meet in secret for years, whispering promises and declarations of love with only the moon as witness. Uhtred never learned why Sihtric started doing hunts alone or why he always found excuses to go on long trips, or if he did, he never said. Now, Uhtred sat as lord of Bebbanburg and head of the Northumbria wolves, while Sihtric was the Lord of Dunholm and the alpha of his own pack. His favorite perk was that didn’t have to sneak away to have a moment with his lady love. He could have her in his home, beneath the furs on his bed without a care in the world if anyone heard them. The pack didn’t particularly care for Corvina, but she never bothered them so they simply turned a blind eye to the goings on.

It was late one night when Sihtric retired to his chambers after several days of dealing with a border dispute. Now that Danes, Saxons and wolves could live in Northumbria together, it was an adjustment for everyone and problems arose constantly. He was tired and frustrated, just wanting to collapse on his bed and sleep to hopefully forget about the events of the last few days. It was a petty dispute that ended in the Saxon farmer getting attacked by the wolf he accused of poaching his livestock. It was brutal, the farmer permanently scarred for the rest of his life and the wolf being escorted to Bebbanburg to answer to Uhtred. What he wasn’t expecting, was to walk in and see Corvina laid up in his bed, her smile making his heart race as he hurried to her side.

”I did not think I would see you for a few more days, my love,” he said as he kicked off his boots and crawled over her, kissing up her neck and along her jawline. Even after all this time, he couldn’t help but marvel at the smoothness of her skin.

Corvina chuckled, running her hand through the curls at the base of his neck. “I finished my duties a little earlier than expected, so I thought I would come to you. I can tell by your face that it has been a long few days. Do you wish to talk about it?” She asked in a concerned tone as Sihtric wrapped her in his arms and buried his face in her neck.

”No, I just want to forget. Corvina, make me forget,” he pleaded as he pulled back to look into her eyes, wanting to lose himself in her before having to face tomorrow.

She complied without hesitation, their lips meeting in a desperate kiss as hands explored the other with the certainty of long time lovers. Clothes were removed and discarded on the floor haphazardly, breathy moans filling the air alongside the crackling of the hearth. Sihtric kissed down her body, the warmth of his lips contrasting with the coolness of her skin as he positioned himself between her legs. He licked a stripe up her folds, growling lowly at the salty taste before devouring her. He could feel the beast within jump to the surface, wanting nothing more than to give into his primal instincts and claim her like he had a thousand times before. And she let him, just as she had before.

He brought her to her peak with his tongue and fingers before pulling away to flip her over, swatting her rear playfully as she arched her back and gave him a cheeky grin over her shoulder. Sihtric lined himself up and thrusted into Corvina with a grunt, his claws digging into the pale flesh of her waist while she moaned, adjusting to his length for a moment before he set a slow, torturous pace. His hand traced up her spine slowly, one clawed hand wrapping around her throat and pulling her up until his chest pressed against her back. The angle gave him the opportunity to see her pleasure drunk face, her red eyes hooded and fangs on display as the most sinful sounds fell from her ruby lips. It took everything in Sihtric not to bite down on her shoulder and mark her as his mate, but he didn’t need some mark to know she was his just as he was hers.

Yellow eyes held red ones, her hand reaching back and tangling in his hair once more as her nails scratched at his forearm and left red lines in their wake. Their combined groans and the creaking of the bed would tell anyone passing by what they were doing, but neither was concerned, too lost in the other to care for the opinions of others. His free hand snaked down her body, fingers rubbing circles around her sensitive nub as she trembled in his arms, her walls clamping down on him while she cried out his name. No matter how many times he had her, the sight of her climaxing was one he would love forever. It didn’t take him long to follow after her, the two collapsing on the bed as they rode out their highs together.

When he finally pulled out to lay beside her, their shaky breaths turned into laughter as they looked at the other, a comfortable familiarity settling over them as Sihtric pulled Corvina into his side with a series of quick pecks all over her face. They laid there tangled together under the furs, gently caressing scarred bodies and breathing each other in. They talked for hours, and made love when talking wasn’t enough, Corvina successfully making him forget about the world outside his chambers even if for a little while.

No, Sihtric shouldn’t crave her as much as he does, but if you asked him who his greatest love was, he would simply smile and say his heart belonged to his shadow lover.

Lambiya anon: sorry it's been a bit, life's been busy.

So I've been working on coming up the personalities of Lambiya, Ta-She, and Corvina since I already explained Chilla.

So for Corvina, she is full-on smug bitch and smug demeaning teacher energy. She is smug, condescending, and fully delights in her cruelty and tormenting people with her magic. I also see her being somewhat interested the psychology of her victims, getting in their head, seeing what makes them tick, and the best ways to break them. Though do to her arrogance when she feel humiliated or lose she gets very anger and will lash out. Corvina can also be petty and will hold grudges (much like real life ravens).

Ta-She is literally just vibing. She strong, hot, and powerful and she knows it. And she doesn't care enough about others to prove it or show off. She's mostly just vibing when with the coven. I imagine she joined the coven mostly for entertainment, both in fighting the ThunderCats amd watching the other members of of the Coven of Furies do their own thing and bricker. Like the other members of the coven will be arguing and fighting and Ta-She is just off to the side watching them while drinking wine. Aside from that she pretty go with the flow of things, and is the one to follow Lambiya orders the most. Though if something does catch her interest or she specifically wants to get something done or get something, she's gonna do it. In those circumstances it's very her way or the high way, and given that she has mind control magic that she won't hesitate to use (even on her own teammates), it's usually her way.

Last, but not least, Lambiya. So for the og herself, I leaned into her being a foil for Cheetara. Lambiya is very manipulative and will often fake compassion and kindness to manipulate people (which contrasts Cheetara's genuinely kindness). She's often specializes in emotional manipulation either playing to ego, subtly breaking people down, or making them relevant on her praise or advice. Her main characteristic is her desire for control and having power over others. This desire lead to most of her choices like being a scam artist, role in the cult, joining Mumm-Ra's army, and even making the Coven of Furies. I imagine she made the coven to begin as a way to move up the ranks in Mumm-Ra's army, which did work. But while the members she chose were the most powerful magic users in Mumm-Ra's army, there was a bit of a downside. That downside being these women are all very independent, not very loyal, will do their own things when they feel like it, and are not very subtle to Lambiya's manipulations. So you can imagine that with how much of a control freak Lambiya is, I can imagine some funny scenarios of Corvina, Ta-She, and Chilla driving Lambiya up a wall.

Omg I love the ladies! I am imagining Corvina and Lambiya and their coooonstant power struggle. I'm getting popcorn and a chair
