WELCOME TO CAEDES CORVI, VERA. YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED AS STARLING.

Vera, more than a story of a thousand lives you brought us the story of a singular girl whose wanting has always wanted for more. There was was never anything else Starling could have been but hungry, and I think her very early acceptance of that was her true. I loved how you juxtaposed her first “deaths” as something not done consciously but as a piece of her fate that she’s grown into like a well tailored dress. This line in particular summarizes Starling in a way that I hadn’t thought about before but was awe-struck by, “Why does [the beast] want her to live more than you? More than me?” / Mother scowls, “He does not want her to live, she just does not know how to die.” Soléne is human, this is apparent in her envy of the Caedes Corvi (wearing tragedies like fine silk), and I think that makes her character all the more devastating. To write someone as evil is one thing, but to make me want to try and give her what she wants is another. Her pull is magnetizing and I cannot wait to see her join the others.

WELCOME TO CAEDES CORVI, MINA. YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED AS STARLING.

Mina, you captured the essence of Caedes Corvi in your application so well. From the mentions of philosophical determinism to the way you incorporated and expanded on the religion of the Sectatores, it was all so :chefkiss:  Ruhi Tara has come face to face with the lack of her freedom, the pre-destined future that awaits a long road, and has come to accept her role as a villain within her own story. What we wanted most out of a Starling app was a person who was unapologetically evil not for the sake of some higher purpose, well-intentioned afterthought, or coercion but because she wants someone and so she must have it. She has no false belief as to who she is and we think that is so sexy of her.  “The view from above will be gorgeous, [Tara] promises, though the only view she wants is to see mud on her friend’s white, white dress, and rotted leaves woven through her perfect curls. You go first, she says, I’ll be right behind.” You ask a great question, if Tara has received everything she’s ever wanted by will alone, the only left for her to do is fall.  Tara is a force to be reckoned with and we can’t help but love her.
