Ravenna Satyr

Ravenna Elise Satyr, or commonly known as Ravenna Satyr, or just Ravenna, was a convicted witch from the village of Kebble who was tried and burnt at the stake.
== History ==
Satyr was born on September 7, 1675 in the village of Kebble. Not much is known about her early life except for her frequent wanderings into the woods.
Supposedly during one of these journeys, while around the age of thirteen, Ravenna was met by another girl who supposedly told her a secret. We're not sure what the girl said, but afterwards Ravenna seemed to have an interest in many of the other girls in the town.
When she turned eighteen, her parents told her that they were going to try to marry her off to a man from a family outside of the village. Not much evidence shows what other settlement they could be talking about, but they needed the money from it anyways. She declined, saying that she had no interest in men, possibly due to her encounter in the woods a few years back.
It was also during this time that Satyr began writing notes in a diary to make sense of her feelings. The most important page was Page 26 where she writes:
"September 1, 1699.
How do I make sense of this? I'm feeling these urges that shouldn't happen to a young woman. I've spoken to nobody about this, and it may be affecting me. My parents wanted to marry me off to some man a few years ago and I declined, I don't see men as an option. The girl I spoke to over ten years ago changed me. I haven't spoken to her in a week, but I am starting to have a strange feeling whenever I'm around her. She makes me feel safe, and it scares me.
Please help me. Please help me. Please help me."
It seemed that the girl she met with in the woods made her realize that she was gay. But this would all be seen in three years. During this time, there was a series of Witch Trials and Witch Hunts going on in the town, even going as far as to convict Mathri Kebble, the mother of the town, of witchcraft. It was only a matter of time before they found out. The Trial of Ravenna Satyr was a mostly trivial event for Kebble, but it did have a lasting effect on a few people. Some of Ravenna's closest friends had found out about her sexuality and had told the governor. The governor had then issued a trial to convict Ravenna of witchcraft, since that was the only explanation for these urges. The Judge then deemed Ravenna guilty of the charges of witchcraft and was set to be burned at the stake.
On April 9, 1702, the next day, Satyr was burned at the stake for witchcraft and observed by nearly the entire town. In the audience was Milly Herikkel and Eva Bission, two girls who would meet on that day and become lovers themselves later on. Inspired by what they saw, it took some time but they managed to escape the town and have a life together.
== Personality ==
Satyr was known to be outgoing. Always up for adventure, even if it was just to play with the pigs in the mud. She would take long walks on the woods, skip stones on the nearby creek, and carving stars in logs. Her teenage years were rough and her mental health started to deteriorate. Since the Witch Hunts were going on, she decided to bottle up all of her feelings until she decided it was safe. Unfortunately that day never came for her. However, she did feel relieved when the fire finally consumed her that day, since she was free from all the stress put upon her from hiding this huge secret.
== Relationships ==
It hasn't been confirmed if Satyr actually was in a relationship with the girl in the woods, but her final notes have said that she did eventually find someone.
== Involvement ==
During the final days of her life, Satyr had had to deal with a lot of the town's hate towards her and it seemed to make her resent government. At least when it came to her own freedoms.
== Etymology ==
The name "Ravenna" comes from the Italian city Ravenna, known for it's Byzantine mosaics. The name Satyr refers to the ancient Greek mythical creature of a satyr, which are often found living in the woods or forested areas, possibly referring to her walks out in the woods and especially the one that changed her life at age thirteen.
