look into the night sky, looking towards the big lights, looking out to be free. suddenly something passes by my window.

i feel it in the darkness. i get to feel it sometimes, following the street lamps, wondering how were ever meant to hide.

i about yorshka;

name lady yorshka hroki
age very old
pronouns she/her
guardian halone
birthplace classified
residence ishgard

☼ THEN; yorshka's origins are purposefully shrouded in mystery and in her wake, she leaves naught but questions that have no answers. how is it she maintains such a youthful visage? she's quite old, even for a viera. not only that, but why is it that she never stays in one place for too long? why are there rumours of young men going missing after what seems to be a one-way trip to her bedchamber? silver-tongued yorshka always manages to slither her way out of any accusations, and leave those who spurn her somehow enchanted after the fact.

physical status healthy
mental status warded

☼ NOW; the woman has chosen to reside in ishgard for the time being where she lends her abilities to the local nobles who need an advisor on all things arcane and occult. they keep the viera on a short leash, understandably, but she has more than once proven her worth. yorshka, at the same time, heads a coven of witches beneath the scenes. dubious women with fingers in more pies than most are aware of, strewn across the map. they meet up every full moon, and perform their arts together as a sisterhood.

i first glances;

height 6 fulms, 8 ilms

☼ it isn't hard for yorshka to turn heads, for she stands taller than most. long legs support her matronly form, and the fluffy hare-like ears atop her head only add to that impressive stature.
☼ dramatic but gentle blue eyes are accentuated by the intense way in which she paints her ashen features and plush lips. the long lengths of wavy black curls spilling from her scalp only put emphasis on that natural softness; clean, and well-kept.
☼ the rava nearly exclusively wears black. even her more revealing outfits are hued in that stygian colour, with golden chains and embellishments used to separate the darkness. all of her attire is custom made.
☼ the woman boasts her status with her accessories and the expensive smoky anise perfume she rubs into her flesh. yorshka's long, claw-topped fingers are adorned in rings and her ears, neck and wrists are strewn in gilded jewelry.

☼ rumours

whispers tell of a nigh ageless wanderer who fits yorshka's description. never staying in one place for too long, the woman seems to leave a trail of intrigue wherever she goes; from her occult involvement, the gloomy roots of her magic, eldritch mysteries, even down to the interesting bedfellows she's kept. beauty and talent are sure to cause plenty of ripples in both high society and the dregs of it— she's certainly stepped on a few toes.

runts, rejects, eccentrics, tainted, tarnished, and all in between— yorshka has a strange maternal instinct and fixation on protecting and teaching those who society deems unfit to have a place among them. perhaps she sees a part of her past in such souls? curious. regardless, a home and kindness can be found in the woman.

☼ matron

☼ advisor

on all things arcane and occult. she'll work with you one-on-one, or bestow her knowledge and spellweaving talent upon your entire business and court, in the field, in your estate, or wherever else— yorshka is flexible and bound by none. yours, for as long as you can afford her; a formidable sorceress in your pocket.

yorshka is the matron of a coven of powerful witches and sorceresses. their reach extends all across the map. if you're a formidable woman with interests in occult and arcane matters, you have a place among their fold, assuming you haven't already joined them. they gather together with each full moon, where they practice their seances, rituals, rites and summonings as sisters.
