## General Overview

Dove "Envy" Crowswallow is someone who knows the true power, as well as the true pain, that comes from being lonely. When Dove was 15, her mother, a kind woman with soft features and eyes dark as mud, was brutally murdered by none other than her own brother. After a failed attempt on her life, Dove ran.. and she has not stopped since. But the bitter cold of the world she once considered her home, has turned her cold and distant over the years. Deep inside, she craves to be like her peers. To be able to live her life the way she'd always imagined she would. She wishes for nothing more than to settle down somewhere. To make friends. Despite knowing her brother is still out there, she wants to start anew. Now she's managed to settle down and create a little commune known as Shroomvale, for lost people such as herself.

### History

Children were the first to be affected by the abberation. Dove knows this better than anyone. Her mutation was the reason her mother doted on her as a child, and the reason for her older brothers' unending hatred towards her. Having been born 82 years after the abberation spread through the land of Terrian. Dove was born an Elytrian, just like her late father. Yet.. she looked so peaceful, so gentle, when she was born. This is the reason her mother named her 'Dove'. Although, it's quite the fitting name for a girl born with two giant, feathered wings on her back.

From the moment her mother brought her home, Dove was pretty much doted on 24/7, to the dismay of her older brother, Tylesius. He wanted that love, he wanted his mothers attention, and he did **not** want to share. From then on, her brother picked on her, bullied her and made her life a living hell. Even worse, she also faced that same negativity in the outside world. The community in her own city, [REDACTED], was quite loving towards her. But if she even dared to step a little too far outside of the border, she'd immediatly be yelled and cursed at.. sometimes even physically assaulted. The people outside her quaint, little community, weren't all that happy to see another Elytrian amidst their commune of Avians. But all the scars and hardship did not stop her mothers love and Tylesius grew ever more envious. It wasn't till the day of her 15th birthday when his rage finally, could no longer be contained. Grabbing a knife from their kitchen, he jumped Dove, who had just come home from school, in their living room. The then 19 year old Tylesius attempted to cut off her wings and feathered ears, the two very objects of all the misery in his life. But Dove would not go down in silence. Amidst their struggle, she managed to break free for but a second, a second that would soon save her life. She screamed for her mother, harder than she had ever screamed before.. The gentle woman ran down the stairs upon hearing her daughters panicked screams. That's where she found her son, her first-born, trying to kill his sister. She might have been a gentle person, but in that moment, rage filled her eyes, as she pulled her son off of his sibling, screaming at him to stop. But it was too late, Tylesius had already managed to land a giant slash on Dove's face. Consumed by rage and bloodlust, he jabbed the knife backwards, into his mothers stomach, as she pulled him back. The realization it was his mother behind him, hit him like a brick, and he stalled, a look of pure horror crossing his hard edged features. But his rage had not passed him yet, and he turned to Dove, stammering, "This is your fault.. you made me do this." He lunged at her. But Dove was a smart girl and she'd managed to crawl out of his reach before he did so. She scrambled up and ran. Although injured, the moment she burst through the front door and breathed in the open air, she launched herself upwards, far from her brothers' grasp. She has not looked back since.

### Personality

In the past, Dove was a frail, yet kind and gentle girl. But having spent the last 3 years roaming this cold, ever changing planet, she too has changed. She has had to harden herself.. and despite wanting human connection more than anything, she sees people as mere 'inconveniences'. She hopes that building her little community from the ground up may melt her stone cold heart.

### Appearance

Dove is a tall, skinny young girl with two giant wings portruding from her back. She's got brown, slightly heterochromatic eyes, and thick eyelashes. Her green hair is long and braided in the front and shoulder length in the back. She always wears a yellow hibiscus in her hair, usually on the right side of her head.

Dove wears a thick, cropped yellow cardigan, which she leaves buttoned up at all times. It has two green buttons on the front and covers her brown-ish cropped turtleneck sweater. For bottoms, she wears olive green shorts with an orange butterfly design on it, paired with a brown belt. Underneath she wear a pair of orange-nude, striped stockings and a pair of brown leather boots with dark soles.

Some notable features include; her gray feathered ears, that fade into a pale orange at the tips. Her constellations of freckles all over body. Her long, claw like nails. A giant scar that covers the right side of her face and runs all the way over her nose, and two small green triangular birthmarks right below her eyes.

She is usually seen holding a sword or some other weapon of choice.

## Present Day

Three years after the events surrounding her mothers' death, Dove has now travelled the world and stayed in many different places. But never for long enough to warm up to people. As her silent fears grow, so does her need to leave. But deep inside, she wants nothing but to find a place to settle down, to finally be able to feel truly free. This is why she started Shroomvale. Both as a silent hope to reawaken the kind gentle girl she once was, as well as to provide a place for others like her to stay, so that they may never have to go through the hardships she's had to face.

This is where she meets Polaris. A quiet phantom that's taken up residence in Shroomvale. The two of them slowly start becoming friends, as they break down eachothers walls and finally start learning to let go.

But peace doesn't last forever...
