Volcica’s secret is that she is gasp a Deathspeaker! But she’s also a shaman, and that combo is v rare. Turns out she’s descended from the first Deathspeakers, way back in the Dance of Skulls. I never got around to looking into past lives, but she did end up as a Voice of Death and got to form a soulbond with Bat, the primordia, sooo. All in all? Pretty rad!
Auda was a half-Rex’alfar. Her parents dumped her at the Tragedy instead of killing her like they were ordered. Her mother was a knight of Solace and a White Steward, so that’s cool! Sapphire-as-Ruby saw her half-blood, and writ her into the Triarchy, and the rest is history! She also managed to become the Black Rose, and also the head of the Apothecary college, and also high up in the Shadow Court, all as ways to honor Ruby/Sapphire/Veil and Emerald/Blight. Her death was also pretty Knave, so that’s cool.
I dabbled on a few rosters when I took a few breaks from those OCs, but nothing really stuck other than Mailys for a while, pre-‘all of corsetina is smiling shadows’ era.
