Who are you to Corvalia?
ABOUT THE RPER HERSELF
I'm fine with all themes, and am especially inclined to dark themes such as horror and occult. Corvalia however is not well suited for combat, and so she wouldn't make sense in a story that has a main focus on combat or mercenary work. Even if she's not completely unable to defend herself, she's physically frail and averse to fights.I do also feel like it's important to note that Corvalia's story and scenes will usually have fairly dark or adult themes. Please ask beforehand if you know you are sensitive to anything in particular. (ex. depictions of death + gore, psychosis, trauma responses, manipulation, etc.)
۞ Player is 21+۞ She/Her۞ Canadian, EST Timezone۞ I do not do public venues at all. This is because of intense social anxiety. Please be patient with me, and please do not subject me to walk-ups. Ask first, I'm more than happy to chat quietly in DMs!۞ I am solely a para-style rper, and will not participate in casual rp in most cases. I prefer longer posts because I enjoy focusing on unspoken detail in my writing rather than solely the larger picture and dialogue.۞ I prefer in-game RP as it helps me focus more on the scene rather than constantly trying to get back into it for every post in Discord. But, I'm open to both formats, and preferably a mix of the two rather than always sticking to just one.
You ask me who I am, yet would my answer satisfy you?
Many struggle to describe the woman known as Corvalia, a woman known for her secrecy and gentle mystery. My history is not a storybook to request at one's convenience she often says. Yet, by rumors alone, one can gather that Corvalia is a woman of the arcane. Some wonder if she is blind beneath the mask she wears, some murmur utterings of murder, many simply choose to leave her be. But ultimately, Corvalia revels in her mystery and finds peace in knowing she is free to carve the image she wishes to be seen as without worry of past hauntings.
Some who have met her say she carries herself much like a ghost, ethereal and graceful as best she can, offering little in the way of words and moreso exuding a calming atmosphere. She is not unpleasant to be around by many accounts, though perhaps she might send a chill down the spines of those fearful of anything beyond ordinary.

HOOKS & NOTABLE INFORMATION
She is often seen late at night, slipping through the dark to some unknown destination. A body is often found in the area the next morning.Frequently wanders between cities with little to no outward reason or destination in mind. She however always seems to be right where she's needed.Some know her to own a small unmarked apothecary in Ishgard, settled in a small tucked away cottage within Empyreum. She charges very little for her services.Some murmur within taverns and the occasional speak-easy that Corvalia is not as "difficult" as she tends to sell herself as. Rather, by the sounds of it, she's been intimate with many partners. And yet, all the same, none have gotten past her corpse-like chill. None have earned whatever heart she has.
Harbinger of a Gentle End
Corvalia is difficult to describe, even by those who have met her more than once. But to meet her more than once is telling in itself - many are not afforded such. Most only meet her as they die, with her as the sole person to comfort them as they pass on. An omen of the end, some say.But those who "know" her, or rather are known by her, likely describe her as an ominous figure with an immensely gentle heart. She is caring despite the distance she forces between herself and those around her, and while she suffers through loneliness and dysphoria she never fails to put others first. Regardless of what one has done, Corvalia has never deemed a soul unworthy of a comforting hand on their deathbed. Murderers, thieves, disloyal and liars alike, she views every person as the same - a person. Something she is adamant in saying she is not.She is a tragic figure, created by the harsh childhood she endured in the final days of Ala Mhigo's independence. She is heavily guarded about her past, but the faint burns on her skin and the subtle Ala Mhighan accent are hints enough to find one's own conclusions.
SMALL DETAILS
She is known to always smell of a mix of herbs and berries. She seems to favor mulberries and lemongrass.Those who can sense or see aether will know that she is sorely lacking in such, explaining her sickly state or her weak joints. She has far less aether than one would expect of a "witch".Some notice fatigue when spending an extended amount of time in her presence, seemingly for no reason.

Hooks
UNBELIEVER
It is not difficult to know that Corvalia is not a follower of the Twelve primarily, nor of any known primals. Some label her an unbeliever of reason, yet unbeknownst to them, she holds much more faith than most.Rather than her faith lying in the Twelve, Corvalia is often heard mentioning fate as her primary direction. Should fate allow it, then so be it. And yet, there is still something missing. She does not speak openly of it, but some wonder if her faith is rather in something of the Void, earning her a target on her back at times. With strange habits of relying on charms and gibberish runes, many a time has she been hunted or at the very least discouraged from sticking around anywhere for long. The only place to tolerate her has been Ishgard, thanks to her inheritance of a home there.
HERBALIST
Many prefer to seek out mages for healing, if they can afford it. None would blame them for that preference. For those who have not the coin, perhaps a chirurgeon would help. Yet, for those with nothing, or those with more desperation than logic, Corvalia is the one to seek out.She is occasionally labeled as sketchy or untrustworthy by the upper class of Ishgard, at least those who have heard of her. Yet she offers healing, medicine, fate readings reminiscent of an Astrologian's card reading. Better yet, she offers her services for flexible forms of payment. Most commonly, if one cannot pay in gil, she will ask of them a favor, be it fetching produce from the markets, carrying heavy items for her, or just helping her find something she's lost. Because of this option, she has become popular with the lower classes of Ishgard's people.
HARBINGER
Alongside strange beliefs and a skewed moral compass, Corvalia is best known for her escapades with death. There have been a fair few complaints and concerns about her close relationship with the morbid, leading to the belief that she has something to hide. And yet, she has yet to be proven guilty of any true crime. It has however given her the reputation of unwanted omen of death. Or rather, a harbinger of it.Nonetheless, she has the unfortunate rumor that she is in some way responsible for many deaths. Many have seen her returning home with blood on her clothes, or delivering the small belongings of the dead to the doors of their loved ones, leaving only a knock at their door and slinking off without a word. Lesser known is the rumor that Corvalia actually harmless, wanting only to comfort the dying she finds via some "calling".
COMPANION
Corvalia is known to keep to herself for the most part, ever so rarely being seen openly in public. And yet, there are times where she ventures out into the night's festivities. Whether it be a quiet tavern, night market, or even a festival in which she can blend into the crowd, there is always the faint chance of finding her meandering her way through.There is also the notable rumor of her habit of taking bedfellows, some even likening her to an animal hunting for prey. Whatever willing man is so desperate as to get too close to the clawed witch is destined to either wake up with not a trace of her left behind, or he will not wake at all.In reality, she is simply the sort to rely on physical intimacy to meet her social needs, having an abnormal obsession with the concept.
If you have a hook that interests you, or even if there is something else you have in mind, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, preferrably on Discord @revnoir as that's where it's easiest to get ahold of me. It should be noted however that I am specifically not interested in ERP-only content. Corvalia is promiscuous, but that is moreso handled as a plot point rather than a show of what actually interests me. So if you reach out to me in hopes of having very two-dimensional ERP, high chances I will decline. Please be respectful and do not fetishize my character!I also have a strong preference for those who share codes, as Corvalia's appearance is fairly different without it - she is in fact not as buff as her in-game highlander model would suggest.

Find me on Twitter @Revnoir where I have the majority of my gpose shots, including some I didn't include here - I tend to only add my favorites, but I also don't keep up with updating this gallery in all honesty.Below is a mixture of gposes that range from entirely IC to heavily conceptualized and exaggerated.
