Profile of Minerva

Note: Tail is not bobbed, will be elongating it.
✧ Bathed in umbra she is a being who easily blends beneath the canopies, false eyes dotting her spine and cascading into the eccentricities of her pelt. One so decorated in varying hues as russet dares to intertwine and dance with the spreading darkness. Though as if to pierce this veil of cloaking shadows the gilded rays of sunlight part the night in a jagged streak along her side, flecks branching from its reach to offer a fireflies illumination. What rests atop it all, however, may be the most intriguing for a visage lays swallowed beneath a mask of pure snow dripping along her throat, trailing in a melting stream along her underbelly. Only to rise anew and coil about each limb.

✧ Peering from shadows one may glimpse the viper’s gaze, one a pale gold while the other is a deep brown tinted by paler hues.

“A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest, because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest is her.”
✧ By no means can the eccentric healer be proclaimed as a good woman though to those within her favor Minerva holds a rather agreeable nature. Whether such souls have wormed themselves into her gaces through beneficial acts or through merely finding amusement in them is another story entirely.

✧ Whatever the case may be, loyalties are reserved only for herself and her coven - family - others are simply seen as a means to an end. Beings to twist upon her ever changing whims whenever she sees fit. Rarely allowing others to gain the upper hand as a manipulative and cunning nature seems to place her one step ahead. Everything has a price within the witch’s eyes especially when it comes to her precious time, that is never a commodity given freely.

✧ Unafraid of being alone she is more than capable of fending for herself though she is never overtly violent lest the situation calls for it. She is a woman fascinated by her studies even as they stem from books and her mother’s journals rather than any formal education.

Bore the eldest daughter to a nobleman and his mistress, the pair wed only after her birth though mysterious circumstance led to her father's death and a mother's disappearance. Presuming both to be dead she has taken to dwelling within the family manor deep in an autumnal woods embrace.
