”Sometimes the deepest hate comes from the things we cannot change about ourselves.”

“It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thinking for speaking the truth.”
TW child abuse
History: Riley grew up in a rough neighborhood, the slums of the city. She might have been a lovely child if not for the horrors constantly around her. She got into her first fight at age 6, it was with her older brother. He had been pulling on her hair, trying to cut it with a knife he found. She punched him in the face, nearly breaking his nose. Then she cut her hair right in front of him to mock him. Her next fight wasn't long after the first, but it's a much sadder story. Her mother, grieving the loss of her sister, took out her pain on her children. Riley tried to defend herself one time. That was the last time she would ever attempt such a thing.
By the time Riley was 10, she had a body count. It wasn't a large number, still in single digits, but that was her secret. No one ever found out about it that she knows of, and at least half of them here in self defense. She never mentions that to anyone.
When she was invited to the Menagerie, she didn't tell anyone, she simply packed her things and left in the night. She didn't leave a note, nothing behind. She might have been hoping her "family" would forget about her. They didn't, but she never spoke to them. At the Menagerie she learned to focus her anger into productive things, and she learned ways to keep herself calm.

"You're not as funny as you think you are."
History:
Where did it all go so terribly wrong?
This question probably ran through the minds of all the children in the Abbott house, it was always too perfect, the servants who spoke of nothing unless asked of them, the children who dressed as if they were royalty and not a single hair was out of place. The gardens of the house were serene and always well kept, and the eaves and rafters, not a spider web, were hidden or could be seen. Lianna, having grown up in such an environment, found it normal and if anything changed or even the idea of chaos in the house was suggested, it unsettled her. Just as the death of Lady Karina had when she was fourteen, it was a year today to the date, and the house wasn’t any different then it normally was. Maybe she had wanted something to show that they all missed the woman who had died in their house, perhaps tears, grief or a sense of longing for someone who no longer breathed.
Walking through the hallways, Lianna kept her hands clasped together in front of her, it was all about appearances in this home and she couldn’t show any of her deep and inner thoughts. Pushing open one of the many sliding doors, she stepped out onto the walkway around the house to find Silas sitting quietly by himself. He hadn’t heard her yet, which wasn’t entirely unusual considering the entire family were all members or had been of the crow class. And all of them were light on their feet, but she would have been blind to not notice how much the boy didn’t take notice of people in general. As if he was in his own world and he looked worse for wear, if she was being completely honest.
She took a seat beside him, and gave a little cough to make her presence known.
“Can I help you?” he asked,
“No,” “I just wanted to sit next to you,” she said.
Looking over at him she noticed how tired he looked, the bags under his eyes and how red they were made it seem as if he’d been crying all night. Had he? She was quick to take her gaze back to the mountains that surrounded the house, which Silas was presumably staring off into.
“Silas,” she began,
“Yes?”
“Are you taking good care of yourself?” it was an out of pocket question, one she wasn’t sure he would answer,
“I suppose not,” was his reply.
“Is it because of Lady Karina?” Lianna asked, sneaking a glance at him,
“I would be lying,” he sighed, “If I said it was not.”
Lianna thought for a moment, leaving the two in silence, making it clear Silas wasn’t in the mood to start a conversation. Which was something he had done less and less with everyone in the family, more than he’d already avoided. It was only on rare occasions that she’d spotted, across the way, her two cousins talking. Otherwise for the most part Silas kept to himself and to his chambers only to be seen for brief times during meals and family gatherings.
“Do you feel alone in mourning for her?”
“Everyone seems to have forgotten about her,” he said, “I could never imagine doing such a thing.”
“Neither,” Lianna kept her tone rather informal, she wanted to comfort Silas, not act as if she was prationizing him.
Another moment of silence, and then she heard a soft tap, like a single droplet of rain. A tear had rolled down Silas’ cheek, she had to hold back her shock and surprise. He’d always seemed so stoic and unbothered by everything that she couldn’t imagine him crying once in her life. It had startled her when she’d seen him burst out in tears, on the death of Karina’s death, even more so that he’d attacked her cousin and his older brother Rome. All of the family had been shocked, and not even aunt Renee had been able to keep Silas calm, only after the deed had been done could uncle Amos rip Silas from his brother; to keep him from killing him.
She placed a hand on Silas’ back, she felt his body tense.
“Relax,” she told him, “If you want to talk, I’m willing.”
Pushing herself up off the wooden floor from where she sat, she nodded respectfully to her elder and began to walk away.
“Lianna,” Silas said, causing her to look over her shoulder, “Thank you, for not forgetting her.”
“Of course,” she replied, he wasn’t even looking at her, but she could guess what his expression looked like.

“Careful there, someone might think you're actually starting to care.”
History:
The strong smell of formaldehyde with its potent pickle-like odor filled the room, toxic even when inhaled, as it could cause severe respiratory tract damage along with being a skin irritant and could induce dizziness or suffocation. But even knowing this, in the center of the room with a smile on her face, eighteen year-old Wilhelmina Addaway held a scalpel in her hand. In front of her lay a body that the school had given her for a project, and she would have deemed anyone a fool to deny such a precious opportunity.
A knock on the medical lab door, set the girl’s head shooting up, the glass of her round metal goggles reflected a face in the doorway.
“Ellie!” She deemed, rushing over to greet her friend.
“Don’t you dare, touch me,” “Until after you’ve had a good wash,” the other girl warned,
“Oh you’re such a tease,” Wilhelmina pouted, but it was clear she was joking.
Elodie Levine, held her nose, as the smell in the room was far too much for her. She wasn’t accustomed to the smell and it was quite harsh. Wilhelmina, despite this, had been exposed for a long time now that it no longer affected her and she was nearly smell blind to it.
“Did you use the new rose perfume I left on your bed?” Elodie asked politely.
“I did!” “Thank you for the gift,” the girl replied, offering her friend a mask to protect her lungs and body.
Along with the smell of formaldehyde that moved around the room, and now into the hallway since the door had been opened, there was another distinct smell. Rose. A suggestion made by Elodie for her friend, as she had found it difficult to be around the girl when they’d first met and happened to be quite close, even now. Walking over to one of the windows on one side of the room, Wilhelmina jumped up into the deep counter that rested beneath, and pushed open the pane. Similarly to her friend she wore a dress, but her own happened to be covered in a white lab coat. Sliding off the counter, she repeated the action once more to open a second, letting the medical lab finally air out.
“I assume you didn’t come to just talk about the gift,” Wilhelmina commented.
“No,” Elodie’s demeanor suddenly became anxious,
“What’s wrong?” she felt a wave of protective instinct flow over her.
“I’m going to be marrying Jacob,” “Sooner rather than later.”
Wilhelmina watched as her fellow crow leaned against the counter by one of the open windows, her mask pulled down now that air flow had been provided. The girl was holding herself, and was distressed.
“Just kill him already.”
“Are you serious?” Elodie gave her a partial look of shock.
“Yes, of course I am,” Wilhelmina replied, “I’ll even help you.”
“Really?”
“You seem surprised,” she noted.
“Of course, I am,” Elodie sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose, “You’ve never shown interest in these sorts of things during class, and now suddenly you’re offering to help me kill my fiance.”
“As should any friend,” Wilhelmina felt a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
This was such an exciting idea in her opinion, and she wasn’t deciding this blindly. Having met this Jacob man before, it hadn’t taken long for her to notice how touchy he was with Elodie and how much her friend hated this with passion. She wasn’t entirely great at noticing people’s expressions, but with Elodie it was clear as day to her.
“Would you really help me?” Elodie asked, her voice suddenly a little more excited.
“Certainly,” Wilhelmina smiled, removing her gloves she held out a hand.
“You promise not to share this with a soul,” she replied, taking Wilhemina’s finger with her own.
“Not any living soul.”
The two shared a little laugh, any soul that heard this conversation would certainly wind up dead that much was for sure, and Wilhemina wasn’t afraid to sacrifice anything. She hadn’t no one she was very close with other than Elodie and this girl was her world at the moment. They were like sisters.
“Good,” Elodie breathed out.
“We will talk about this later I presume?” Wilhelmina commented.
“Yes,” “Perhaps back in our dorm,”
“I’ll bring snacks from the dining hall,” “Food always gets the mind going.” For Wilhelmina it did this at least and that was good enough reason for her to bring some.
“Bring something to drink as well,” Elodie made sure to add,
“Cold?” “I assume not hot, as that isn’t your taste,”
“Mhm,” “Whether that be wine, or water,” “I don’t have any qualms against either.”
“Coffee,” “I’ll bring cold coffee, no water,” Wilhelmina was adamant about this, and it caused Elodie to chuckle.
The both of them knew Wilhelmina survived on coffee and couldn’t stand water, and that Elodie would drink anything as long as it was cold. And with that, the two nodded and parted ways. Murder on their minds.

“Long shower, Loud music, Me dancing”
History: Although Neanderthals is considered a matriarchy, Kerrick runs the Asani household. Even though he is the one of royal lineage, he's far more talented in other areas. On the other hand, Katherine was born to rule and Neanderthal prospers under her diligent command. While she is busy governing the kingdom, Kerrick is in charge of the family. Good thing, too. He is literally the only person who even has a hope of controlling the quadruplets. Let it be known that the Asani kids were trouble from the moment they were born. Even as small children, they were near impossible to contain or corral. Nobody would object when they ran rampant through the halls (mainly because the sane people knew they wouldn’t stand a chance against four chaotic demons, but also because they were royalty), so the kids had free rein over much of the castle. Of course, there were some places they learned were off-limits. In the kitchen, for example, where the cooks would chase them out like an angry mob armed with kitchen utensils. Most of the palace staff had a few extra streaks of grey in their hair due to the quadruplets, and they managed to scare away every nanny they'd been placed with. And as babies, if they were ever separated for too long, they'd start shrieking and wailing. No one is quite sure where the quadruplets got their devilish streak, as Kerrick is more laid back and quiet while Katherine is serious and dignified. Perhaps their grandfather? He was always known to be a few apples short of a bushel, so who knows? Unfortunately, the kids never met him. Kerrick, for his part, is a good dad. He rarely raised his voice with the kids, surprisingly. He is like a patient teacher, pointing out where they went wrong and how to fix it, but never reprimands them harshly. Maybe that’s why they actually listen to him. Everyone else just shrieks their heads off and the quadruplets pay them no mind. As for Katherine, she is too busy to be around much, so Dad is definitely the favorite. When the Asani's finally turned ten and received their acceptance letters from the Menagerie, the kingdom collectively breathed a sigh of relief, although more than a few of the palace staff shed a few tears at the departure of the adorable devils, all the while wondering if the Menagerie knew what kind of mayhem it was welcoming at its gates.

title: princess iviana saint-amor of aconcia
code name: angel

stats:
strength 4/10
stamina 5/10
agility 7/10
accuracy 7/10
intelligence 9/10
trustworthiness 9/10
kindness 8/10
personality: when iviana is truly herself, she is kind and gentle, and is admittedly more trusting of others than she should be. truthfully, iviana is a bit shy, and definitly prefers to keep to herself, but she can be social when she wants to, and often has to because of her missions as a dove. iviana is also highly intelligent, and loves to learn anything and everything. though it takes a long time for iviana to let people know her, when you do become close with her and when she trusts you fully, she will be comfortable enough around you to let herself relax and be herself, which she doesn't often get to do. however, when she wants to, for example during missions, iviana can be a seductress, and because of her time as a dove she is a master at using people's emotions and feelings to get exactly what she wants. iviana can often be very flirty and charming, and she knows all the things to say and do that will get someone to fall for her. she often hides herself behind flirty smiles and batted eyelashes, and she rarely ever has true romantic feelings for anyone, mostly because she's a hopeless romantic and is waiting for a real and honest love, which is hard to find in the world of the menagerie and the royal court. similarly, whenever iviana is hurt by someone, she will hide how she feels and how deeply they hurt her behind a mask of indifference. she can become closed-off in an instant, and many people have said that they can see the change in her eyes when she's hurt by someone, claiming that they get icy and cold. around the people who have hurt her, iviana is standoffish and will often ignore the person, or twist her words into knives to hurt them back. iviana also acts very differently around her family. around her parents, iviana is the well-mannered and perfect princess they always wanted her to be, and she becomes meek and submissive, which is often shown in the way she keeps her eyes downcast and her head respectfully bowed. in the same way, iviana is a shadow of her usual self around her sister, acting scared and almost reverent in hopes that her sister's cruely won't turn on her once again. however, under all this, even her true self, iviana is terrified. terrified of her sister's sadistic and cruel heart, terrified of her parents and what they will do if she isn't perfect, and above all, terrified of herself, the person she becomes around others, and the felling that she never really got the chance to learn who she truly was and never will.
likes: dresses, ballroom dancing, taking walks, gardening and nature, cats, butterflies, sweets and pastries, wearing jewelry, hand-written letters, music and singing, baby's breath flowers, spring and summer, learning new languages, ornate daggers, crowns and tiaras, cherry-flavoured things, emboridery, songbirds, corsets, mint tea, reading and writing, the smell of lavender
dislikes: cold weather, being sick, large crowds and tight spaces, seeing blood or injuries, waking up early, overcast days, heights, raised voices, garish or overly-bright colors, alcohol and being drunk, thunderstorms, change, being alone, not being presentable, having a messy room
strengths: manipulation, flattery and flirting, getting informatino, being a member of the court, her royal status
weaknesses: interrogation, chemistry, poison-making, being insecure, hand-to-hand combat, changing herself for others, people-pleasing
fears: her parents, her sister, being forgotten, the dark
description: iviana has beautiful long blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back, often put up in intricate hairstyles such as braided crowns and updos, or just in a simple braid. she has blue eyes framed by long, full eyelashes, and she often uses makeup to accentuate her eyes because she's been told they are one of her her best features. iviana has pale skin with a few light freckles dotted across her nose and frequently rosy cheeks. finally, she has a slim, delicate build, and is often compared to a bird, standing at only five feet and two inches.
identifying features: her blue eyes, her smile, the birthmark on her wrist
clothing style: iviana, being a princess, was raised in a life of luxury, and the way she dresses very clearly reflects that. iviana will never be caught dead in any clothing other than a dress or a skirt, with her clothing ranging from flowy day dresses to gorgeous ballgowns. She favors colors such as green, yellow, blue, pink, and white, though she's never afraid to try another color and looks good in almost anything. in addition her often extravagant dresses, iviana loves wearing jewelry, and she's often seen wearing an assortment of necklaces, bracelets, and rings.
history: iviana was born the second daughter to the king and queen of aconcia, and while she was doted on and cared for, her parents always favored her sister, alianna, who demanded almost all of their parent's attention. alianna not only demanded admiration and love, but she was unusually cruel, and iviana spent her younger years being tormented by her sister, including anything from manipulation to poisonings, to which her parents always turned a blind eye. on multiple occasions, iviana was injured or poisoned by her sister, sometimes coming close to death, while other times alianna was disgustingly sweet and controlling, playing with iviana as if she were a doll. and if having a sadistic, hateful sister wasn't enough, ivianna's parents always required perfection. iviana had to be the perfect princess with a perfect smile and perfect manners, and after years of such treatment from her parents and sister, iviana formed masks that she wore around them, often changing the way she acted by the hour depending on who she was with or what she was doing. with her sister, iviana played the meek, scared girl that her sister wanted to see, allowing herself to be manipulated so that alianna woulnd't hurt her as much. with her parents, iviana was the picture of perfection, always graceful, innocent, and well-mannered. as iviana grew older, she learned the art of manipulation from watching her parents and sister, and when she arrived at the menagerie, she was already one of the most skilled doves. soon after she began studying at the menagerie, iviana started going on missions, and her royal status and kind personality allowed her to easily gather information. as she got older, iviana started to use her good looks on her missions, and became a master at flattery, flirting, and charming others. now, iviana continues to be the perfect daughter, the perfect princess, and the perfect dove.

"Information is the most valuable currency."
Appearance:
Description: Kristoff has dark auburn hair that takes on brighter shades of red in the sunlight. His hair is cut neatly to the top of his neck and he wears it pushed back from his face. Kit's skin is tanned from so many days spent in the sun and he has a very defined jawline. His eyes are copper colored and always moving, always observing, rarely resting on one thing for too long. His nose is slightly crooked due to just a couple too many breaks over the years and he has a small, thin scar on his left temple. Kit stands at about 6' 1" and has a lean and muscular build.
He dresses practically but with style and always looks put together. The prince tends to avoid unnecessary ostentatious attire but is definitely willing to dress up when the situation calls for it.
Scars, tattoos, piercings etc: one piercing in his right ear and two in his left
"Don’t you find it so strange that autumn is so beautiful because everything is dying?"
Personality: Kristoff is one of those people no one can truly understand. He's charming and friendly but has a constant air of mystery about him, like you don't really know what's real and what's a facade. In conversation, he is jovial and intentionally lighthearted; but when he's challenged he betrays a much harder, more threatening edge.
The prince knows how to appeal to the people around him and present them with a persona they want to see. He is extremely socially intelligent and willing to do whatever he can to manipulate people into supporting him. He goes into every conversation with the goal of befriending the other person and gaining their trust. This makes every interaction important to him. Kit's the type of guy who seems to know everyone but no one seems to know. He’s got strong connections with an unbelievable number of people. If there’s an issue that can’t be solved, if someone needs access to something or a place to crash, Kit has something. He can call in a favor, greet an old friend and all will be resolved. He knows all his peers and servants by name and adopts a slightly different demeanor for each of them. He’s compassionate and good-natured; and most importantly, Kit is willing to connect with others. He genuinely cares because other people aren’t just pawns to him. They’re actually people with feelings and ambitions and dreams. He knows everyone has something to offer. Everyone is worth something.
Kit loves to talk. No. He loves to connect. The prince was lonely growing up, even when he was surrounded by people. There’s a strange isolation that comes with being the Crown Prince and that left him feeling alone. He craved connection and a relationship he could trust. So he started talking. He started listening. He taught himself to build friendships out of nothing and bond with strangers in a way that bought him support. So are most of the relationships he builds fully honest? Of course not. But Kit’s a politician and he knows what he needs for his country’s success, so he does what he must. These pseudo relationships never satisfied his longing for a genuine relationship, but it managed to take the edge off.
He's rarely ever himself and is only ever comfortable enough around his family and most trusted friends to let the facade slide away. When this happens he becomes more tense and shows his stress but he’s honest and kind. Kit seems perpetually calm and in control of his situation at all times, even when he's internally screaming. He always keeps his temper in check and, being a highly trained diplomat and a Dove, has an iron-fisted control over the expression of his emotions. Kit knows how to fake emotion and deceive those around him and he takes advantage of this daily. All this being said, Kit knows it's okay, and even necessary, to be vulnerable on occasion. He learned many lessons as a child, one of which was to show weakness when it's needed, but never when he felt it. Pretending to be emotionless only paints you as a monster or a mindless machine, but too much negative emotion from a position of power causes doubt and panic.
Prince Kit has the respect of his country, not its fear; he is able to retain loyalty without resorting to threats and power plays that other rulers may use. The prince is fair and just and cannot stand the mistreatment of innocent people. He's simply adored by his nation's public and has minimal conflicts within the royal court. Kit does things his own way and abides by his own rules rather than conventional ones. He's determined and stubbornly persistent, and he'll never back down from a direct challenge. He can be hard-headed but he's resilient and adaptable and always open to new ideas. Kit is frequently moving and shifting but, that being said, he has an incredible amount of patience and can sit still for hours on end. It’s one of his strongest attributes, especially when it comes to spying.
Kit is very clever and seems to excel at practically anything he tries. This stems from his internalized need to prove himself as a child, as well as his strong sense of curiosity and desire to know everything he can. Needless to say he can be a bit hubristic at times.
The prince has severe anxiety but he hides his insecurities and does his best to satisfy everyone. He tries as hard as he can to maintain his privacy and very few people are aware of his secret, but it’s just a matter of time before someone catches him in the middle of a breakdown. Kit knows he's prepared for the throne but he's scared of the weight on his shoulders; the lack of freedom that comes with the king’s crown. As a child, when palace life was too overwhelming, he hid himself away and daydreamed of running away and leaving the palace in the dust.

"Anything worth doing always starts as a bad idea."
History: Kit is the firstborn son of the King and Queen of Neandertral. He was raised from birth knowing he'd be the next king, and when he was young, the idea terrified him. Being responsible for the welfare of an entire nation and simultaneously maintaining relations with other countries, both allies and enemies. That's a lot. But as Kit grew up he took lessons and gained confidence, though those doubts never disappeared. He learned to be the perfect diplomat, able to negotiate with a straight face and lead a nation while having compassion and earning the trust of the people.
His childhood was quiet. He spent most of his time growing up with his father, but Kit spent his earliest years toddling after his mother as she ruled the country. Katherine allowed the behavior because she recognized the clear eyed curiosity in her son. Kit's father gave him lessons and when Kit's ambitions grew, Kerrick hired the best tutors for his young son. He learned maths and chemistry, history and literature, combat and strategy.
Kit was obedient but stubborn as a kid and he learned to push for his goals and debate his points at a young age. Of course he had a rebellious streak and, when such a desire struck, he'd steal a horse from the stables and ditch his tutors to do some practical learning in the walled area surrounding the palace. But as he got older Kit took to jumping that wall and exploring the capital city with other palace children. These adventures fed Kit's love of his country and fostered relationships with locals.
Then the quadruplets we’re born and the palace was engulfed in chaos. This development only pushed the young prince farther from the palace. Don't get it wrong, Kit loved his little siblings. He just needed a break. Despite the fact that he was constantly surrounded by people, Kit was lonely. He found reprieve hidden in the rafters of the grand library and exploring the more hidden parts of the castle and city. Kit also devoted himself to his lessons, finding release in archery and reassurance in his stories. He did spend a lot of time with his young siblings once they could walk, making memories before he left for the Menagerie.
At school, Kit refined his training and excelled as a Dove, networking and falling in love with the job.
