ooc ★

Backtagging: Always okay! Feel free to poke me after a week if you'd like to keep a thread going.
Threadjacking: Always okay!
Fourthwalling: Absolutely! She's an OC so this mostly applies to understanding her tropes and such.
Off-limits: I really dislike heavy descriptions of eye gore, teeth-pulling and de-gloving. They can happen in threads, would just prefer they are brief. Otherwise I have no limits I'm aware of.
Shipping: Absolutely! I'm always a shipping fiend.
Tag style: I default to brackets but I'll match my thread partners.

ic ★

Hugging/Kissing: She loves hugs! Although she is far more comfortable being affectionate with women she's friends with, and she'll likely shy away from any physical contact with men.
Flirting: Absolutely! It may go over her head, but if she notices she'll likely flirt back.
Romance: Strong maybe! Letha is married and sorely misses her husband, but she also believes dying essentially ended that marriage, so she's not completely opposed to moving on and finding someone new. She's strictly heterosexual and would prefer someone around her own age (16-20 ballpark).
Fighting: Absolutely! Letha is incredibly physically weak, but if she has the means to raise the dead she can become a very dangerous opponent. Still, she tries to avoid fights where possible, but if a fight finds her she'll fight to the death.
Injury: Always okay! In games I prefer a heads-up if any injuries are going to affect future threads, in memes anything is fair game.
Death: Also okay! Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. (In memes we can just kill her that's fine.)

content warnings ★

Letha will frequently bring up human and animal death, mortuary practices, and related topics. Interactions with her might include mentions of domestic violence or systemic child abuse. Close CR may also include discussions of mental health crises, suicide, chronic disease, miscarriages, and postpartum depression/psychosis (those last two PRIMARILY relating to how her pregnancy is handled in games). Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to avoid with her.

info / cliff notes ★

Letha comes from a country called Myrce, which is roughly equivalent to England during the Regency/Victorian period. Myrce is currently celebrating an industrial revolution due to the wide embracing of magic, all excluding the town of Thornwell. Thornwell is owned by the Regis family, a clan of necromancers who have secluded themselves away from the wider world for centuries now to avoid scrutiny.

Letha herself lived her entire life in Thornwell, training equally in necromancy and home-making. As the youngest of four and only daughter of her family, she was spoiled rotten by her father and constantly criticized by her mother, leading her to grow up entitled and demanding. Around age twelve her parents were deemed unable to care for her and she ended up in the care of her grandmother instead, who put her through rigorous training to turn her into a proper lady, which really was more like paving over all of her unsavory characteristics. Finally, she was married off to her cousin, Aristeo. Over the course of a year they went from hatred, to uneasy friendship, and finally to actual love. Just in time for Letha to meet an unfortunate end that left her wasting away into a spirit with no memory of her former life.

First impressions of Letha are generally that she is bright, chipper and excited to talk to just about anyone she meets. She's excited by danger - in fact, it seems impossible to scare her off from anything. But she's masking a lot of her internal struggles, and her fears and frustrations tend to burst out suddenly when she can't keep them in any longer. She really does want to be the person she's pretending to be... she just isn't.

senses information ★

Sight: Letha stands at about 5'3, or roughly 162 cm. She has extremely pale skin, bordering on the sickly-looking, and it's thin enough for her veins to be pretty visible on his arms and neck. Her hair is an inky black mess of curls, in such tight ringlets that it goes from a little past shoulder-length when it's dry to almost her mid-back when wet. It is usually either held in a bun or loose with the top half of the back braided to keep it contained. Her eyes are a bright shade of green that's more blue than yellow, almost teal. While she'll claim that she frowns on the use of makeup, she wears just enough to bring some color to her cheeks and lips, and maybe darken her eyelids. She also keeps her nails painted black. Her clothing is usually reminiscent of Regency or Victorian dresses, although it's hard to pin down a specific decade, and she favors black over anything else. She certainly dresses smartly, with meticulous care put into making sure none of her clothing is wrinkled or dirty.
Smell: For those who recognize it, she smells a bit like dark magic. It's an underlying scent, just part of her natural odor, but it's there. Above that, she tends to smell like flowers, and is very tasteful about the exact level to which she smells like them. Her hair especially has a lot of care put into it, and tends to smell like roses and lavender.
Hearing: Her accent is about halfway in between British and American, but regardless sounds distinctly upper-class. While her voice is soft, it tends to carry a certain note of sarcasm and disdain even when she's being perfectly polite. She does, however, have the capability to sound absolutely bubbly and delighted when her excitement gets away from her. She just prefers to sound snide. (Her voice claim is Emily Rohm.)
Touch: Her skin is soft, but thin, and there is very little in the way of muscle and fat which makes her a bit boney. Touching her would give one a sense of fragility; that they should be careful with her, as she is particularly frail and easy to injure. Her hair is thick, soft and bouncy and has the kind of fluffy quality that makes one want to pet her. Do it. She'll love it.
Taste: Iunno, she tastes like a girl. And probably one who's not too happy getting licked.
