An abuser in the community
“The Velvet Rose” is a major FC on the Balmung server that, for years, has been under the spell of a vile, manipulative narcissistic abuser. Please inform people who may be at risk, share this to everyone you know, and hold Cirina Malqir publicly accountable for her long track record of horrific abuse.

I am reblogging this again because they recently tried to join a xaela community again and were subsequently banned as a precaution. They’re most likely going to be on the prowl for more places they think they can hunt in peace. I know we all hate drama but this person is off the rails, so please tell your nearest FC/Community leaders to be on the lookout & do not let them into your spaces.
Adding to this, Ciri’s partner Ashe Zahara was ousted and banned from nearly every FFXIV community for pedophilic tendencies. I’d caution you to stay away from that player as well.
Hoo boy this reblog. I don’t use Tumblr much (due to the reputation for drama it has), but someone who’s closer to the situation than I’d have liked to be, I’ll give some commentary on this. (Former Roses advisor/officer, interacted and at one point, befriended a number of people in the FC, including Ciri.) Most of the Ciri stuff’s what it is. She was narcisstic and manipulative, and took advantage of Ashe lacking anything resembling a spine to basically do as she saw fit with reckless abandon. From the last time I interacted with them about…a year and a half ago, they still showed signs of similar behavior. I’ve heard some rumors that they’ve started to change their ways, but I’ll believe it if I ever see it (which I have no intention of trying, because my life’s been more peaceful without her presence, barring Covid). However, I do take some issue with regard to the Ashe accusation here though. As someone who’s known and interacted with Ashe for a good chunk of the past decade, her greatest sin is enabling Ciri’s nonsense for the better part of the last few years, despite multiple advisors, community leaders, and so forth telling her to cut a tumor out. She didn’t, and as a result people suffered from it, and that’s what she should be judged for. And to my knowledge, this is where most of the bans **should** have come from. The pedophilia claims however, are ridiculous. And unless some definitive evidence is actually shown of this, I’d ask it stop being perpetrated, because this stinks of being the continuation of a libel campaign from a certain group of individuals nursing a 10+ year grudge against Ashe dating back to a private RO server, seeing as it’s almost time for a new expansion. Said grudge has already involved too many counts of over the line actions such as: doxxing, attempted swatting, outing her as a LGBT in an extremely conservative, insular and rural community (in an attempt to have violence done to her I guess); so please don’t add to it unless you can actually confirm it. With regard to Ashe, there’s enough to censure Ashe on in the RP community as is, from her enabling of an abuser (even if she herself was potentially a victim, god knows how many times I’ve had to hear about her basically crying from something Ciri said or did). No need to add second hand gossip into it unless you want to muddy the waters.
Remember how in the last 2 years Ashe has been found out to be running a paedo message board on reddit, was caught ERPing with toons portrayed as minors, and was banned from every player run RP venue on balmung because of the vile harassment as they tried to white wash themselves and pretending they were a victim and not an abuser?
Cool smurf account to try and make yourself look better Ashe you narcissistic cunt.
Doesn’t sound like ancient history to me. Sounds real recent paedo. Crawl back in youre hole and get out of our game.
So this reply is obviously made by someone who doesn't know the inner workings, or is working with second hand knowledge, given my tone and attitude marks who I am fairly easily. But anyway.
You are claiming that Ashe... made a smurf account 5 years ago, in preparation to defend herself from claims that hadn't even been made? While also bashing herself at the same time, and trying to get herself ousted from the RP community by admitting she's an enabler?
I guess if you really want though, here.
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
And if you want to ask why I've had account for five years and never posted, let me first ask why your account doesn't have any posts, and appears to be a burner. Then let me also answer that this account is for the same reason that a lot of people had an account for Tumblr before the great exodus. "Following Art". :|
With regard to those accusations though. The board in question, /r/hentiny had strict rules against lolicon to begin with. But Ashe also abandoned the board shortly after creation, causing it to be acquired by others, and what happened after that is on whoever ran it next. Should Ashe have made it though, given that people liable to post that content would probably try to skirt the rules anyway? Probably not. But a board promoting small breasts in hentai is a far cry from running a pedophillia board. And if you want to imply an attraction to small breasts themselves are indication of pedophillia...
I welcome you to move to Australia then.
Gets confused about other female bits also
I've said a bit on the Cirina piece, naturally for Cirina to even enter the Velvet Rose to begin with, she had claimed her character was 18 years of age. I have no idea when Ashe first roleplayed, or even erotic roleplayed with her following Cirina's involvement with the Velvet Rose, but unless Cirina explicitly said she was 16 before they engaged in that, the assumption is that she'd have been oblivious leading up to that. If there's concisive evidence to the contraty, by all means provide it.
So again, if you want to make those accusations so conclusively, pony up with the Discord/Skype/Ingame, etc logs alluding to that. Else, don't make claims you can't back up.
--------------
Since I'm still annoyed at the audacity of calling me an Ashe smurf (jesus) we're going to be spitballing at identities (which is funny, because most people related to Roses would probably recognize this account of events/who this is) and insulting me by saying I'm an Ashe sockpuppet (this is gross on multiple levels). I'll start throwing out some accusations too I guess. AeonRO people, is this your fucking shitshow again? Since the other people who are liable to do this can definitely recognize it, and I've been asked to call you out directly, even though honestly, you deserve to be dragged through this mud too (I've heard enough stories about your tit mutilation/ryona RP).
Even if not, I'll put it this way, since I'm getting real tired of hearing one of you idiots stirring this, or similar shit up again every year or two. If this happens again, I'll be advising Ashe to hire a PI, followed by an attorney to drag you into a courtroom to see how well your claims of pedophilia hold up there. And there, we can see how well decade old gamefaqs posts hold up as evidence in court compared to police reports. It's a win win, right? If Ashe is a pedophile, she'll get the book, and if not, you get to enjoy the financial and legal consequences or repeated character assassination. Alternatively, grow up and move the fuck on. AeonRO was almost 17-18 years ago. And having to hear about the drama from when most of you were idiot college kids almost two decades ago is suffocating.
