I refuse to let our people fade into the past, I refuse to let them be forgotten! I will win back our lives through blood.
Periwyn is one of the Yquoa, an ancient race of peaceful creatures that are thought of as god-like. Able to bring about nature and life into the Universe. They lived in harmony and peace on Aromia, taking care of each other and keeping the planet safe. When the Fay grew aware of their existence, and the fact that Yquoans feed upon magic, they grew fearful of their safety.
The Faerie Queen, Fiona, declared war upon them and managed to wipe out all of the Yquoans but the Seven Originals, whom were locked up in elemental and magical prisons. Periwyn is the first of the Yquoans freed, and since waking up, she hid her history, her life, and her past so she could masquerade as a royal bodyguard.
She’s sworn revenge against the Fay and is using her position and closeness to the Faerie Queen to find the locations of the rest of the Seven. She has already freed her lover and closest companion, Lethus.
Important Features
- Is lithe and athletic with lean muscle, surprisingly strong. Flat chested.
- Has very long, pointed ears. Right ear has four gold, loop earrings.
- Hair is fairly long, past her shoulders, and is blue with snow-like white along the top.
- Skin is light blue and shimmers like ice, almost looking like a living ice statue. She can glamour it so that she looks human.
- Has a periwinkle flower tattoo over her heart.
- Eyes are bright, with various shades of blue, pupil looks like a large keyhole, with a white highlight in the middle.
- Props for her can be ice-related, like elemental magic. She lives and breathes ice, and to a lesser extent, water. It's a part of who she is. She can also be drawn with periwinkle flowers, nature and trees. Other objects would be weaponry, or anything she needs as a bodyguard, primarily her twin daggers, which she can summon out of ice, and also creates weapons out of ice when pushed.
- Poses for her are proud, smug and self-assured. She's closed off and unwelcoming towards others, preferring to be alone, mostly to protect her own identity and because she's surrounded by fay. She's quick-witted, passionate and aggressive, especially in combat, and so can easily overpower and run circles around others. Can be drawn fighting, guarding Fiona, rebuilding her home, or reawakening the other guardians.
- Expressions are normally very neutral and composed, she tries hard to keep her feelings hidden, especially because she's lying to the people around her, and has to make a conscious effort to hide her hate. When she's able to be honest, however, or when she's pushed too far, she's very emotive, passionate and almost explosive. Can be very expressive, from snarling, sobbing, to laughing openly, especially if drawn in the past with her people.
- Can be drawn with any Yquoan or their offshoot cousins, the Qyim. Relationship is highly respectful and familial, she was a leader for her people and they looked up to her for guidance and protection, during and after the war. She would do anything for them.
- Can be drawn with any Faerie, though she hates them, she has to hide that hate and urge for vengeance in order to keep her position as the royal bodyguard.
- Can be drawn romantically with Lethus, who is her partner and best friend, and has been since before the war. They often spend a lot of time together and trust each other intrinsically. She relies on him to help her while she's stuck in the palace, though wonders why he does not feel the same hatred she does.
- Can be drawn with The Kitsune, who knows her true identity and she's constantly on edge around them, worrying they'll out her.
Nature is alive in Aromia, flowers come to life and gods of life roam the land themselves.
Aromia is a beautiful land almost fully natural, with very few buildings or urbanisation, except for the Faerie Capital of Orlagh, where a large marble castle stretches into the sky. Originally it was filled with homes for the Yquoan people, that were forged out of the very trees, vines and flowers themselves. Created from nature magic. These beautiful homes filled entire forests, and were often lit up with flower lanterns. When the war between the Fae and the Yquoa flared, all these homes were burned, and in their places Aromia became a land of ruins.
It is only just beginning to repair itself, several years after the end of the war. In the corners of the land are seven 'crypts' where the original seven Yquoan gods slumber. The Faerie Cities are more town-like, and often have flower and sparkling decorations. All the houses are made from wood and are very quaint to look at.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?
Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.
He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current
Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.
He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.
History
Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.
Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.
Important events
Leaving home
Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.
Joining the show
Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).
Reconnecting with his sister
A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
