@gingerdeity Ryou was walking along the cluttered city sidewalks, eager to get home after a long day’s work - and, for that matter, a long night planning a tabletop campaign. His exhaustion carried him from block to block, and he paid little attention to where he was going, eyes fixed only on the sidewalk. It was inevitable, then, that he bumped into someone.
He skittered backwards a few paces in an attempt to keep his balance, and finally looked up in alarm. “I am so sorry-!” he said, wincing.
She's sat, miserably on a stone slab. Back. Here. Unfair. Heidi would rub her face with a sigh, before tensing at a sound that rustled in the leaves. Her two tails quivered. She didn't want it to be another hunter, getting shot in the head hurt to wake up from. Another would be unkind and unfair.
Footsteps drew closer, the sound of someone humming a merry tune eventually joining it. The footsteps stopped nearby, "Ah, there we go. These will do nicely, don't you think? .... You know I won't pick all of them, this herb is rare as it is. I just need a few samples so I can try and cultivate my own supply."
Aster had taken to his workroom, aiming to treat his wounds again. He didn't want anyone to be aware of his injuries. He lost a fight to a judge. He'd ran away instead of attempting to end them, hard to end something that nearly ripped his chest apart. If he could just stitch himself together and recover enough for it just be a new set of scars to find, that would be good. But with his focus on recovery, he couldn't sense things around him as much.
A dark shadow slithered into the room, gaze fixated on the Novian and a twisted grin spreading across his face, "Ìs̨̢ ̵̢̕s͟͠o̴̵̡m̧͝͞e̵͟t̡̢h̵̵i͏͏́n̶g̶͟ ̀t̶͘r҉͜ou͢bl͘i͟n̢g ͝y̴͘͞o̶͞ú͘͘,́͠ ̀m͡y ̡d͜eár͢? ͏̶Y̴̴ǫu͟ ͟͠s̡l̴͜i̵̧̨pṕ̷e̢͢d͜ ̧͢in̴̵̡t̴͜͞o̶̸ ̸th͏̴e̶ ͡͡h͡͏ơu҉̷s̡͘e̛̕ ҉w̢ì̛͝t̀͡ḩ́o͟u̶̵t̡̨͟ ́͠e̷̷͜v̶͠é̛͠n̴̢͠ ̴̕s͜a̴y̷̕ìńg ̛heļ̨l͠o͡ ̧͡f̶ir̶͜s͡t̸̛͢.̧"

Partner/Spouse: Vincent (Also see the OT4 with Alomancy and Aster)
Children: No Biological (yet) Many with the OT4

Childhood: She was a bit of a tomboy growing up, with a love of adventure and always excited to see new things. A bit of a Daddy’s Girl, and loved to dress up when she wasn’t running about. Mahogany was a bit isolated growing up, other children not sure what to make of her, but she eventually found friendship with a young naga (something her father disapproved of at first, though he eventually came around)
Teenage years: Due to how Oliver tended to move around a lot, Mahogany was unable to spend more than a few years with Vincent when they were kids. She missed her friend dearly, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. In her mid-teens, she began to learn about the powers granted by her Succubus heritage and how to control/use them. As she got better at them, she began to wander the dreamscape, amazed at what the place had to offer and what she observed in other people’s dreams. She eventually, managed to contact Vincent again in this way, but it wasn’t perfect, and the naga seemed rather distant and withdrawn…
As she got closer and closer to adult hood, Mahogany set off to wander and travel the world, hoping she might come across her old friend at some point in her journey. Unfortunately, she ran afoul just a few years after and was trapped in a Circus/Freak Show… She has no idea how long she was there, days just seemed to blur together, but one day, a familiar face appeared and she was finally set free.
Adult years: After escaping her imprisonment, Mahogany continued to travel around, this time with Vincent accompanying her, at least for a while. Even after going their separate ways, they remained in touch, and the Succubus found herself developing very strong feelings for the purple naga. She didn’t admit it for the longest time, however, at least, not until Vincent himself confessed the same (after nearly a century…)
