Heyyyyyyy hello hello, mind telling more about Loreena? I'm on the hunt for random facts!
Oooh boy! Let me dig up my file on her! She has a backstory.
So, Loreena
Some quick facts:
Half-Qyranian
Phasmalist, Sinistrope
technically Lycanthrope, but I forgot to use that most of the time
likes beasts and weird creatures
if you want to give her a present, get her a skull, preferably human
doesn't like people much, especially children
has no respect for the Order and annoys Tealor as much as she can
lesbian, but was never really interested in a relationship (until Calia mentioned her inner demon)
Meta fun facts:
Loreena sacrificed her knee caps for that cloak you see up there
Loreena finished the Black Guardian in less than 2 minutes
she would be a great interior designer (source)
Loreena got her hands on a wolfblood potion as a young child. She doesn't remember that incident, but her parents sure did. Her mother was afraid of her after that and avoided her as much as she could. Her father was jealous and tried to become more powerful when Loreena would grow to be. So he started eating raw meat and later turned to cannibalism.
When her sister was born, her father became violent, mostly towards Loreena. She quickly learned to stay away from the house as much as possible.
She befriended a pack of wolves and had a lot of fun playing with them. Her father found out and killed the entire pack in front of her eyes. That's when he told her she was a lycanthrope.
Some time in her teenage years, she saw her father tearing the heart out of a corpse and eating it. She ran to the nearest village and told the authorities. When she returned home, her family was burning on crosses.
She ran away again and lived alone in the wild for a few months. Then she stumbled upon the hideout of a group of people studying dark arts. She stayed with them for a while and learned a lot about lycanthropy, alchemy, entropy, psionics and phasmalism.
The group was found and attacked. The survivors disbanded, most heading to Qyra. Loreena stayed in Nehrim and lived in the wild again.
Eventually the creator temple found and captured her. She was to be publically executed in a way to further the temple's agenda. She managed to escape together with another prisoner, Sirius. They made their way to Ostian and snuck on a ship to Enderal. Sirius was just a means to an end for Loreena, so she wasn't too sad when he died. He was too chatty anyway.
Upon waking up in Enderal, she discovers she can now use magic. Her knowledge about the dark arts come in handy now.
She's grateful that Jespar helped her, but he's another one of those far too chatty guys. And oh is he annoying! She agrees to help him, but only so he can take her to Ark.
She wants to start a new life in Enderal, and for a while she actually tries to be nice and helpful. But it's really not her thing. People can leave her alone, thank you. She does jobs for the money and to have things to do. If those jobs take her far away from civilisation, it's a win in her books. If they involve killing, even better.
She begrudgingly joins the Order. She doesn't to be anywhere near pretentious, righteous religious people, but hey, if this Tealor guy says she's so important, that basically means she can do whatever she wants, right?
So she buys a house in the noble's quarter of Ark and decorates it with all sorts of skulls and bones and general dark stuff that would give her neighbours a heart attack. What are they gonna do? Report her to the Order?
Tharaêl is a delight. Very sunny personality. He's one of the few people she gets along with. She doesn't stop him from choosing his own end though. That's his decision.
She didn't pay much attention to Calia, until she mentioned a beast inside her. That sounds interesting! Loreena might've gotten a bit too excited when she saw Calia kill Karek. Maybe she handled that wrong. But misunderstandings can happen and overall, Calia seems to appreciate even her harsh truths.
Loreena turns down Jespar every chance she gets, because he's still annoying her.
She hates Rynéus and his stupid, childish games.
She went dancing with Calia when the end was near and was surprise when she actually enjoyed it.
She chose to go to the Star City with Calia. Because fuck humanity. She has no illusion that she could guide the next cycle to do better, but sacrifice herself in hopes the current one can save itself? No chance.
