## Valakri(Template:Stripref)

**Valakri** (Known by her followers as **Archess Valarki**) was the **Queen of Beasts** of the Feywild, ruler of the Grovelight, One of the most powerful and core archfey. She was also known as the **The Instinct** and the **Fang of the Grove** and was one of the original archfey of the Circle of Life.

## Description

Valakri presents themselves as a humanoid composed of various beastial parts, covered in a cloak and gown of patterned leathers and skeletons of creatures both modern and anciently unknown. Her eyes glowed green and orange with wonder and tenacity. The smell of animal pheromones and scents constantly shifted around her form, and when the bones of her appearance clicked together, they made the sounds of what is presumed to be the combined sounds of said animals.

When manifesting in a plane other than the Fey, she takes the appearance of a abnormally large creature, who's back leftmost foot was always twisted around. Despite this, her form was always faster on foot than other animals.

## Personality

Valakri is one of the less malicious fey entities in intention, but rarely is she benevolent. Her curiosity with creatures and their thoughts consumed a large part of her personality, often switching between multiple reactions in scenarios based on instincts. For instance, if the animal she was infatuated with was known to hide when confronted, walls of natural material would surface to protect her. Like most Fey, Valakri has a rather well defined sense of humor. She enjoys jokes about animals and impressions of such, even to a childish degree at times. At times she could seem she had an incredibly short attention span, but rather she receives insight into the nature of bestial aspects with divine speed, and rather, is just productive learning about multiple things. Valakri's ultimate intentions were invoking the true capabilities of evolutionary and primal instincts.

Valakri was never known to bear any children who were humanoid even if her lovers were humanoids themselves, rather producing beasts who she sheltered within the Grovelight. Despite this, Humanoids dubbed **Children of Valakri** are connected with her beastial magics, rather than being born of her descent.

## Abilities

Valakri's chittering and mutterings could cause swarms of animals to form from plant life itself, and her glowing gaze was known to drive humanoids who looked into its eyes long enough to loose all sense of humanity except their base instincts.

As an archfey, her powers were considered godly in power. As the representor of Beastial traits, Valakri was given one of the more powerful abilities of her Archfey sisters and brethren. She was completely immune to all spells and spell like abilities. It was said it an impossible deed for mortals to beat herself or any avatar representing her. Forced to fight her instinct to instinct, claw, tooth, and all. As a part of the Circle of Life, Valakri was also given access to a variety of spells and spell like effects to which she can use at will. Allowing her to summon greater beasts, merge said beasts, and affect nature as a whole.

## Possessions

Valakri carries nothing on her except the Crook of the First Crowned. A crook made to travel with and to fight with, it was said to be made of the Half the rack of The First Stag as a token of her fight with the Archfey. When in her avatar form, this manifests as a large rack of antlers growing out of her beast of choice from a single point.

## Activities

Valakri was tasked with the balance and watch over all fey beasts, and to a lesser extent, beasts as a whole. Her duty was to maintain the balance of the hierarchy of beasts, and to induce new aspects to its chain.

## Worshipers

Valakri worship on the material plane was most normally by creatures that wanted to increase their sense to their core components and revert to a more powerful version of themselves, unrestrained by the burdens of concepts such as philosophy, politics, and such. Some of her followers even honed into a particular animal, wishing to manifest aspects of it, such as the close familial like bonds of wolves, or the alertness and reactions of a hare. Some even have gone so far to make pacts with Valakri, allowing access to limited spellcasting ability and spell like effects.

Valakri's followers taught she was a being of the one true order, and the unbinder of the chains of modern life. Her holy symbol a crook made from an elk an Elk Antler.

## Divine Realm

The Grovelight is a part of the Feywild which is ruled by Valakri. To beings with moral, non-fey, or eyes without truesight, it appears as a forest illuminated by the creatures and plants that methodically beat like a heart around every corner. It's thick forest-like terrain confuses non natives and is able to house all manner of life, even if the beasts wouldn't flourish in that environment. To beings with Truesight, they can see the ever shifting home of Valakri, able to accommodate any life that finds its way into there. Time was said to flow significantly faster there, creatures without protections from Valakri herself or other magics would complete their life cycle within minutes to hours, allowing beasts to reproduce at a faster rate and manifest new instincts for Valakri to learn from.

Valakri was said to live in the middle of the Grovelight, in a circular burrow with terrain lining the walls like an inverted planet. She was said to perch upon the highest ever shifting structure inside the burrow until she deemed it worthy to venture to see new species.

## Relationships

As a Archfey of The Circle of Life, Valakri was connected to all the other Members, although, most leave Valakri alone due to her childlike and beasital nature not being a well fit for the rule and composition of the Feywild as a whole
