Aenir

"I'm the first crusader's descendant!"

Empress Aenir Altruis Moon (a.k.a. Ae)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

She is muscular and agile. Her body type is mesomorphic.

Body Features

Her skin is a cool tone of brown. She has scaley patches on her arms and legs, especially on her palms and heels. Her body is mostly shaved, with the hairiest part of her body being her armpits. Despite that, she looks fairly clean, but that might only be because of her servants.

Facial Features

Aenir's face is diamond-shaped. She has a sharp jawline. She has defined cheekbones (with a mole beneath her right eyes) and thin eyebrows. She has sharp brow ridges. Her lips are medium, with her bottom lip being the plumpest. She has two sharp teeth pointing out from the bottom part of her mouth.

Identifying Characteristics

She has three white ovals on her face, usually mistaken as face paint by others. Two of these ovals are on her cheeks, slanted inward. The third one is located on her forehead in a vertical position.   Aenir wears makeup, using a maroon, matte lipstick and red blush.

Physical quirks

Aenir is right-handed. Her main, recurring tic she has is that she blinks her eyes repeatedly on purpose. She stands in proper posture, but sometimes, if uncomfortable, will roll her head back. Aenir usually skips to her destinations, most likely a result of her energy.

Special abilities

She has ice magic at her arsenal and her true form, as well.

Apparel & Accessories

She wears a pale-yellow, flowing dress which reaches to her knees. Its sleeves are puffy around the shoulder but flowing afterward, the sections separated by crossed, black stitching. Her dress sports a natural waist, marked by a black waist belt. There is no tear or wear on her dress, showing off its durability. It appears to be well-cared for.   Aenir also wears an amber capelet, edged with charcoal-gray. It has three black, shiny, metal buttons which fasten both sides together.   She also dons black, elbow-length gloves and tights of the same hue.   Addressing accessories, she dons a shiny, silver bangle on her right hand most of the time, symbolizing her marriage to Hymn.

Employment

She began as a traveling dancer and stayed like that for all of her life up until her death. When revived 20 years later, she awoke to herself being Riavelon's ruling empress alongside her wife, Empress Aenir.

Accomplishments & Achievements

She had a natural affinity for ice magic, inheriting from her ancestors which began with the Listener, Mireuk Altruis. At first, her powers were volatile, shooting out of her palms and forming sharp icicles everywhere. The bad part about that is if the day wasn't warm, those icicles would stay there for a long time. She never gave up though. On the side of her shows, she practiced her ice magic in secret. She never took to open streets or plain meadows. After years of practicing, she mastered the art. She would become the first modern mortal who knew ice magic inside-out.   She gained knowledge of herbs and medicine from her parent, Cigyona. Because of this, whenever her or someone else is in a pinch, and if no one knows healing magic, Aenir uses her knowledge of herbs to patch up the wound or rid illnesses. She always carries a pouch of herbs with her everywhere she goes.   One day, as a young teen, after teaching herself since age 5, she went out onto the streets and began performing street shows. Her first show bombed. At first, she felt horrible. She didn't believe she could do it anymore. After more shows, however, she bloomed as one of Eph's greatest performers that ever lived. She had a way of moving, wowing her audiences and catching their hearts. Many times, spectators donated coins to her. The money she got helped support her along her travels. Eventually, her shows were supported by fellow fans alike!   In the aftermath of a spectacular show, one viewer popped out among all the others. No, she did not wear anything flashy, nor did she have the high title of 'Empress' at the time. No, her beauty struck out to Aenir and caught her heart. She held herself back from doing anything impulsive, and it paid off, the other woman meeting with her privately. Aenir learned of her name: Hymn. This began a powerful relationship, one that could not be broken by even the Gods themselves.

Failures & Embarrassments

This is neither a failure or embarrassment, yet it is worth marking here anyway. Aenir was pregnant with her first (and last) child. Hymn could not wait for the day their kid came to be, buying various goodies such as a silver bow, stuffed animals, and even specially sewn clothing embroidered with their chosen name: Noon. However, this dream was promptly shattered when Aenir died during childbirth. The kicker was that their kid was born stillborn, leaving Hymn by herself until her ascent in Riavelon's ranks. Whenever Aenir was revived and learned of this, she cried for weeks. Alongside the crushing force of her own sister's demise, she did not return with a good mentality.   Introducing herself to the people of Riavelon wasn't as easy as she thought it was. Those in the audience who were Yerim Exists defamed her, claiming Hymn and Aenir to be unforgivable sinners. In a panic, she ends up making a bad impression on the castle servants. She hid her anxiety, leaving it to gnaw at her mind as she messed up simple conversations and actions. Around the castle, she appeared to be a ditz, her former history of shows being forgotten. She grew to resent her status of Empress, longing to be back to the roads, performing for others with her personal life in curtains. Now, she's stuck like this. Aenir must learn to embrace her position and mature. Her people demand it.   After being separated for a long time, Aenir and her sister, Pride, reunite. This happens toward the end of the Blazing War. However, after Pride discovers Aenir and Hymn's relationship, the two are sucked into a whirling vortex of conflict as Pride tries to convince her sister to leave it. The reason for this is that Pride is a headstrong Yerim Exist, believing that only those of the same race can be in relationships with each other. This conflict of ideas happens for a long time, even after Aenir's passing, for Pride believes that the two were both punished for their sins. However, the conflict is resolved whenever Hymn murders Pride in cold blood to resurrect Aenir, leaving them to be themselves.

Mental Trauma

Something that will always affect her is the loss of her own child, having been born stillborn. She feels as if the incident was her own fault.   The loss of her own parent strongly affected her. They were the one she went to when she felt bad.   Her phobias are: Necrophobia, Athazagoraphobia, Arachnophobia

Intellectual Characteristics

Spatial / Kinesthetic / Interpersonal

Morality & Philosophy

Aenir is not much of a religious person, further separating herself from religion after Pride's hateful claims. She knows the Gods exist and also the Creator but wonders why they do what they do. She is especially curious about the Creator due to His dividing laws in society (though is clueless about His lack of say in it). She has nothing against others who do not believe in the Gods. However, she does view them as ignorant because of their obvious presence. Aenir fully understands that others may view the Gods as stronger mortals and the Creator as a myth, but she herself is not one of them.   To address her morality, if someone needs help, then help the person. It is wrong to leave them to suffer if you have the power to aid them. To leave someone to die is horrible if you can heal them. The least you can do is heed their dying wish, and this is why Aenir is terrified of death. This dancer doesn't know what she'd do if someone close to her died nor does she know what she'd say. In fact, she is horrified that she at some point also died! To relive the experience would be torture and something she'll have to avoid. Addressing more of her moral standards, it's wrong to make others suffer in order to elevate yourself in all cases. She is not one to break laws nor rebel against authority, nor will she discreetly assist those who are. She holds a high code, yet respects all others. Aenir would be the type of person who donates to the poor (at some point, she WAS the poor). To end this, she believes that all people are worth helping, regardless of their evil nature or not. Aenir doesn't accept that it's sometimes impossible to convert evil into heroism, and she will try her hardest to help the misguided.

Taboos

Don't hurt other people without reason. Don't ever do drugs. Don't ever abandon someone, despite their actions.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

She wants to inspire those around her and brighten people's days!

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Excellent with dancing yet a little try-hardy at singing. She is an excellent befriender, but sometimes, she makes it hard to take her seriously. Aenir is pretty strong physically. She's horrible at defending herself, though. She also isn't the smartest tool in the shed.

Likes & Dislikes

She loves to dance, especially with crazy maneuvers such as backflips. Aenir likes yelling, as it brings attention to her (something she adores)! Besides that, she loves showing off her strength, being able to pick up heavy objects and people without breaking a sweat. Contrasting the former sentences, this dancer also likes nature, specifically flowers. Her favorite flowers are roses (explaining the scent), tulips, gardenias, and woodruffs.   Her favorite color is violet. Her favorite time of day is noon, the perfect in-between of morning and day. Her favorite season is spring, for it is the time of growth. Lastly, her favorite place is out in the streets, performing for others!   Aenir abhors politics, avoiding debates whenever possible. She prefers to leave that to her wife, who is more than happy to argue! On the topic of debates, she hates Yerim Existence. Its very ideas communicate ones of hatred and solitude, and she also relates it to the torment she has received for her relationship. Because of this, she cannot help but put the entire planet of Yerim in a negative light, despite knowing it's a utopia. Moving on, she dislikes being sedentary, always having to move a limb even while sitting. The rain puts her in a bad mood, as it disallows her from performing outside. Food that has too much sauce also annoys her. Puns are stupid and poor excuses for jokes in her opinion. Lastly, Aenir cannot stand gossip. It is rude to lie about others and put them beneath everyone else's feet. However, it is better than nothing at all, for Aenir hates silence.   Her least favorite color is green. Aenir is not a night-owl, so she dislikes the night. She hates the winter as it is cold and everything must be indoors. Her least favorite place is Castle Riavelon, for it is closed-in and pompous.
