Perched upon a spindled body of woven hemlock roots, the mandrake's head is bulbous and resembles a carved and dried gourd. Permanently frozen in a grin, her mouth deepens the plentiful wrinkles in her face, and her violet eyes are nearly lost behind wispy white hair that almost looks like corn silk. Blue bracket fungus dimples her limbs, which are gangly and awkward.

The Dark Elf

Lunaryna Talviel, Dark Elf and Ranger, spends most her time travelling between Kraken's Fall and Kharam Dzu on her sloop The Lustrous Alabaster Zenith or haunting Twilight Hall's Historical Library. A dedicated Toxicologist with a focus on botanical and living toxin producers, "Elle" prefers her books, plants, and creatures that reside with her; the centuries of research a large part of her life. She can most commonly be found at the main Twilight Hall manor, her office door always open to members and fellow researchers alike. When the mood strikes her, she is apt to hold lectures to share the knowledge of the use and cures for natural poisons or toxins.

She finds her passions in the pursuit of specimens for her research - insects a heavy focus, creating custom jewelry pieces, stationary, folding paper, dermals and piercings, and assisting with designing various services.


Crest

  A large ivory jackal skull cracked down the forehead is set against a background of deep viriscent black, a twisting halo of pure white thorned vines frames the canine skull.

Appearance

You see Historian Lunaryna Talviel the Toxicologist.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She is of a slight height and has a trim build. She appears to be in the flower of life. She has opalescent, milky white eyes and pallid grey skin. She has hip-length, silky bone white hair woven into a wrist-thick herringbone braid that is bound with a carved pale ivory band. She has a delicately structured, aristocratic face and classically elegant, chiseled high cheekbones. She has a swathe of thick, silver scars climbing up her throat from her collarbone to spread up over her jaw. She has vaalin-sparked moonless black lacquer brushed onto her sleek almond-shaped fingernails.
A heavy-lidded eye gazes out from its centered position on her forehead, its pupil studying the area as it contracts and dilates.
Mystical energies wash over her, draping her in a nebulous shroud tinged with cosmic dust.
She is in good shape.
Curled across the curve of her neck is a glistening albino teadragon, the tiny lizard purring as it lazily flicks its tongue.
She is wearing a heavy ebon vesperti hide coat mantled with thick ivory griffin ruff, a mithril Twilight Hall pin, a split-sleeve pale ivory blouse bound with a carved bone rib cage corset, a pair of ebon leather gloves, a trio of thin alabaster leather belts, a pair of low-slung ivory suede leggings, a set of gilded matte eahnor greaves, and a pair of smooth ebon leather boots with thigh-high cuffs.
Flickering near Lunaryna is an antlered hind, its luminous figure composed of lunar white energy. Head raised to display its magnificent antlers, it sniffs at the air warily.


Ink

  • a delicate moon phase tattoo inked in monochromatic watercolor - back

Precise brushstrokes create a moon phase design trailing from the nape of her neck to just above her tailbone. The various inks imitate delicate lunar shadows, ranging in hues from deep night black to an icy grey just shy of her skin tone. Silhouetted against the full moon on the middle of her spine, a stygian witch moth is featured with its ruffled abyssal black wings in flight. Its counterpart, an argent-haloed lunar moth, perches upon the crescent hugging her hairline.


  • an inked moonflower tableau framing an inverted crescent - chest

Dusky ink tones have been used to create a wide tableau of moonflowers in various states of bloom across the upper chest. In the center of the image is an inverted crescent, its hornlike tips stretching towards the neckline. Gradient stippling has been carefully applied throughout, giving the image an impressive amount of depth and realism.


  • a twining pale abyran'sa tattoo - left thigh

Faint outlining and colorful shading lends a realistic look to the abyran'sa, its lengthy tail wrapping several times from her knee to mid-thigh, its arms spread wide as if holding on to her. The demon's upper body is set on the outside of her leg, its pale olivine flesh smoothly blending into the melange of vert and piceous scales of its tail. Its large, round, glossy ebon eyes stare outward from its ophidian face, the long, forked tongue flicked out between two curved fangs that hold a faint sheen.


  • an inking of a spiraled blue-black quill splashed with moonlight hues - right leg

Inked in shades of azure and ebon, the quill is haloed in a medley of argent hues that seem to almost blend into her skin as it fades upward, a sense of movement given with the design. The feather itself spirals from her ankle and along her calf, leaving the sharply angled nib to seemingly pierce through the skin as if holding on. Wisps of moonlight hues splash up the central vein of the feather itself like a spill of ink, continuing up to her thigh like flurries of mist.

Animal Companions

Living Beasts

Pahana
a large pale white ridge jackal
He has a twisting dark bone collar set with wicked obsidian spikes.
Sleek, pale white fur binds the lean canine from the sharp ears to the end of his tail, a faint pink undertone the only color in his pelt. Gleaming pink eyes above a scarred, pointed snout constantly move, watching the surrounds sharply with an intelligent, yet feral, gaze; his ears swiveling along with his shifting attention to catch any sound. He stands three feet at the withers and has a thick ruff along his shoulders. The thin ridge along his spine is constantly prickled up in wariness.


Sihu
a violet-eyed charcoal grey hemlock mandrake sprouting black vampire lilies
Perched upon a spindled body of woven hemlock roots, the mandrake's head is bulbous and resembles a carved and dried gourd. Permanently frozen in a grin, her mouth deepens the plentiful wrinkles in her face, and her violet eyes are nearly lost behind wispy white hair that almost looks like corn silk. Blue bracket fungus dimples her limbs, which are gangly and awkward.

Tiva
a black-tailed veil iron darner bedecked in smoky grey wings with a shadowy ombre and misty white veins


Ahote
an old peppered grey hedgehog
Though similar to a porcupine, the hedgehog is smaller and the spines are no where near as dangerous. The spines are a mottled white and grey, a testament to the hedgehog's old age, and completely cover the top and sides. You can see the soft white fur on the underside and four little pink feet underneath the protective spines. The ears aren't much more than tufts of fur, and the face is surrounded in grey, save for two small black eyes and a little whiskered snout that ends with a snubbed pink nose.


Pachu'a
a sleek albino mamba with silver-sheened scales


Chu'si
a small misty grey will-o'-wisp


Nukpana
a crested albino lizard


Spirit Beasts

Cara
a silver-marked pale white snowcat
Shifting on large paws meant for icy tundras, the creature is coated in snow-like fur from its pale pink nose to the coiling and lashing tail. Faint silver markings detail its slanted eyes and pointed ears, a strange icy blue hue constantly scanning in predatory alert. The cat looks as if it is hungry and very willing to solve that problem.

Kerwin
a midnight black raven From the tip of its beak to its long tail feathers, every inch of the raven is unmitigated black, but its plumage has a faint sheen that reflects the light in oil-slick colors. The bird's eyes are keen and constantly darting. Shreds of a small scroll are clutched in one of its talons, scribbled with what looks like florid poetry.
