Veda

Female

18

128 lbs

5’4

Raven black

Short single braid

Light blue

Human

Coppery

Petite

Very pale blue eyes

Braids her hair when bored, enjoys devising complex strategies

Wanting to make a better place to live in for others, is usually motivated to help the whole of her people but can also be motivated to help herself or just a few close to her

Overthinks and sometimes overworks herself, only acts on her opinion and doesn’t listen to anyone else’s usually, will only listen to a select few people, can be selfish, genuinely tries to make the best decisions that benefit everyone but sometimes doesn’t consider everyone, doesn’t take criticism well and can get emotional.
Also very talkative. This has gotten her into trouble with her tutors over the years, because a future queen doesn’t need to know WHY things happen, just that they DO and how to handle them.

Plays flute, has a knack for learning languages and knows six (5 are native Sundan languages, as her parents are from Sunda and they spoke those languages around her), can paint and draw very well

Reading (the Corvus sect is very big on education and reading, and she is royalty so she has access to a lot of reading material). She will read anything and everything, but enjoys thick, hardcover classic books (you know the type). She also enjoys playing the flute (has asthma, so playing the flute strengthens her lungs). She likes to play the flute to calm herself down or clear her head, or just for fun.

INTJ-A. Very queen-like without being cold or overbearing, knows when to take things seriously, is very talkative. If she trusts you she will show her emotions, but to others she will put on her “queen face” and refuse to address her own problems. Is a very good listener, will usually listen and think of all facets of a problem before acting on it. But if it is an issue that she feels strongly on, those pesky emotions will get in the way and cause her to make brash decisions without considering all sides.
She’s a very kind and caring friend, once you get close to her. Her parents are very protective of her, partially because she’s an only child and partially because she’s a queen. She’s an introvert at heart, but is often forced to be outgoing during social occasions.

Has asthma and moderate anxiety

Traditional Sundan religion - vegetarian diet and once-a-month meditation and prayers

Has no problems with the way Corvus is run, doesn’t follow rules well if she doesn’t like them, prefers to be a leader and not a follower.
She generally has no problems with how the kingdom has been left to her.

Queen

Cerulean

Karam Vada

Her amulet that her parents gave her that can help her see a situation clearer

Bow & Arrow

Rook

She keeps the questers alive with advice and common sense, is a sort of steady character that always leads the more flighty characters back to their path and reminds them what their goals are

October 29

Highly educated

She became queen of Corvus at 15 when her parents stepped down, as per Corvus custom. (Technically, the parents step down when their child is 15-20, but Veda was very mature and her parents were tired of ruling). She is an only child, removing the threat of someone stealing her throne. She has lived in luxury her whole life, but is acutely aware of the needs of her people and is a very understanding and benevolent queen.

Dachshund named Loki, she made him an advisor and no one can so much as step on his tail without getting punished, as she has also made him royalty and he roams the halls of the palace at will.

Giant raven named Vivek

Has hired a full-time assassin as per the custom, but has been one of very few to ever order her assassin to not kill anyone unless in very certain cases, instead making her knock her targets out with herbal tinctures or wound them to drag them to a prison.
