Weeping Meadow

the glass would glow and sing depending on the moons,
and on the things it felt through the feet of dancers, and what was poured on it.
you once poured the last of your wine onto a pattern shaped like a moth
and it bathed you in sapphire light, and the song it sang
pulled the breath from your lungs like an undertow.right now, with only blood to drink, the glass is wailing.

At a glance

A tall, curvy woman, Weeping Meadow often draws stares where she goes. Though her stature might be the first thing to draw the eye, it's not her ears that people speak of - it's her demeanor. From her striding steps to her piercing gaze, Weeping exudes an aura of confidence one can't help but take note of. Even her words, often spoken through a cattish grin, are said without doubt that she will be heard. Often dressing in gowns draped with artifacts and reagents, it certainly helps her leave an impression in those she passes. With distinctive tattoos painted down her cheeks and bright, icy eyes, her face is a difficult one to forget, and an even harder one to read.

First Impressions

A witch by self-definition, Weeping is something of an enigma. Spoken of in stories and song told by the sea, some would expect a ghost or spirit moreso a woman, but the oddities far from stop there. She carries herself as nobility despite her open disdain of the sort, manipulates aether while openly laughing at the schools of magic, and speaks through a grin that would rival even the pettiest socialite. Whenever asked of her past or the origins of her... less than standard magical rituals, she tells a new story each time, each more engaging than the last. However, in each story, there always seems to be some truth to it, a worldly sort of knowledge one could only guess at the origin of.

Hooks

• A Sailor's Superstitions - Out on the sea, and between the docks of trade posts, Weeping's made something of a name for herself, for those who know where to listen. Stories about her seem as vast and varied as the seas themselves. Have you heard the tale of the witch who blesses the waters, said to offer a place to those who find themselves left out in the Storm? What of the Pirate's Bride, sailing on her ship with a crew of the ghosts of those who've crossed her? Or maybe the woman who gave herself to the sea, bending fate for any ship she chooses? All a sailor ought to do is ask.• Selling Storms and Sorrows - For those who move in dangerous circles, the name of the Witch of the Waves comes with fear and wonder in equal measure. Known for her... odd magical practices, it's said she can perform miracles and horrors unlike any other, from molding flesh to mothering strange beasts to beckoning the sea to dance with her. Better yet, though, she's more than willing to sell her services to others, should they be willing to pay. But be warned - word is she prefers to take things much stranger than coin....• Old War Buddy - She has a history with mercenary types, though she'd never admit it... at least with the same story. While she may have left that life, she remembers all of the changing faces and names over the years... some more fondly than others.• Curious Bystander - Weeping isn't afraid to stand out, nor is she afraid to draw the eye. Perhaps you noticed her with a curious look or two, only to have your gaze met with a smile, and an unspoken invitation closer. She always welcomes a good conversation, should you be skilled in the art.• A Mother's Mercy - While the witch wears many masks, each more intimidating than the last, some get the privilege of seeing what's beneath much quicker than others. She's a witch through and through, sure, but she's also a mother - one who seems to take in more strays with each passing day. She has a soft spot for young ones, folk who've lost their way, and any who seem to need a nurturing presence in their life. She's often all too eager to bring another into her family, and maybe even apprenticeship should they show interest in her craft.

Despite her big rumors and spooky seatime stories, Weeping Meadow is, ultimately, just an old woman with a few too many ghosts. A witch, yes, and a criminal, one with quite some pull to her name, but seaside stories are just that - stories. Sailors are an awfully superstitious sort, and she certainly isn't one to correct them. Besides, there might be more truth to their tales then they know.She's very well traveled, and has a knack for leaving an impression, so if you're interested in jumping into rping with her, don't be afraid to /tell me or talk to me on discord if you wanted to hash something out, even if it's an idea not on this list.

Hey

My name's Elsewhere (she/they), and I'm a twenty-something black, queer person who likes to roleplay. I don't bite unless you're a cop, so hit me up @corpsedoll on Discord or Weeping Meadow on Mateus ig if you want to rp.Character Themes - Gothic tones, trauma and healing, diaspora, ghosts (both personal and otherwise), otherworldly expression, crime as rebellion, beauty in the grotesque, femme horror, the blurry line between natural and supernatural.What I want - I'm down for most RP, but I'm mostly interested in more mature stories, long-term relationships and character drama. I love romance, criminal connections, older characters, and especially the otherworldly sort - magic and creatures not so often seen. I'm less interested in the grandiose, and more in the personal - the intimate and sometimes harder stories to tell. She's a dynamic character who can fit into either lighter or darker rp, and one who can keep them separated, so don't get scared away if you're only interested in one or the other.Expectations - Weeping's story is one of a person, first and foremost. She is made to feel real, with many facets to her, and I'd like rp partners to be the same. Along with that, she is very heavily black-coded, and especially as a black writer, I will require you to take that into account with how she's spoken about. While darker themes are rad, if you want to play out anything even remotely violent or sexual, I'd want to talk it over first. Communication is absolutely the most important part of roleplay, and I'll expect you to value it as highly as me.Absolutely no - Spontaneous ERP. Especially no fetishizing my or my character's skintone. If you even say the word chocolate, I'm liable to block you. Also, Weeping Meadow is trans and intersex, and I cannot be fucked to deal with anyone who might have a problem with or might fetishize that, in irl or in our stories, so if that's you, fuck off <3If all this sounds like it meshes with the stories you want to tell, too, I'd love to hear from you. I'm a little shy, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
