## Description

### Appearance

V is a non-binary humanoid who appears roughly in her twenties. She stands at 5'6" and has a lithe build. She has light brown skin, short-cropped black hair, and light gray eyes. She bares a noticeable resemblance to Ireena, though Ireena is taller than her and has auburn hair. Aside from that, they are similar enough in appearance that Ireena's brother mistook V for Ireena.

V has very light scars where the different body parts were sewn together, however they're so light that it is more noticeable by the change in skin tone. Her left arm is considerably paler than her torso and face, while her right arm is slightly darker. More noticeable is the large, angry scar across her chest, slightly below her collarbone. On the back of her left hand is a tattoo of a raven with white wings in flight, identical to the one Seril has.

V wears black leather armor and a hooded black coat underneath, with the hood usually up. She wears black gloves, and a high-collared shirt. She has a short-sword, three daggers, and a short-bow on her.

### Personality

V is extremely shy and soft-spoken. They are rather skittish at times and struggle with social interactions, especially in larger groups. They will frequently wander away from the party, sometimes thoughtlessly, and sometimes actively due to social anxiety. They're more comfortable in one-on-one situations, but that varies depending on who it is they're talking to. Even with those they are comfortable with, they are still very hesitant to even mention anything related to their past.

Aside from being Anxiety Disorder incarnated as a person, they are thoughtful and frequently a decent planner - though they don't always remember to tell the group their plan. They can be a bit hard on themself and have a tendency to get visibly frustrated with their own perceived failures. In tense situations, the safety of their friends are their highest priority, perhaps even to the point of putting themself in danger. They will out themself in harm's way, and step up to take charge if needed, in order to protect others.

## Relationships

### Bogdan

Bogdan was the first person in the party that V felt comfortable around. Instead of being frightened by his half-vampiric nature, V found it oddly reassuring and comforting, as they found a kindred spirit of sorts in him. While still not a social butterfly by any means, they are most comfortable talking to Bogdan. Bogdan is the first person they have considered a friend, and is very fond of him affectionately dubbing them "Team Half-Dead."

### Ireena Kolyan

V isn't sure what her relationship with Ireena is. They have only really spoken to each other twice, and both times have revolved around the fact that they are nearly identical. Despite not knowing what to make of whatever they are, V immediately wanted to help her. She respects and admires Ireena highly.

### Lucien

V has absolutely no idea how to interact with a child at all, and did in fact panic when briefly left to look after him. However, Lucien likes Bogdan, so V thinks favorably of him. It was Lucien saying he wanted to stick with Bogdan that kept V from running straight back to the windmill, as she knew Bogdan would follow her, potentially putting Lucien in danger.

### Menyn

V was initially wary of Menyn due to his calling them "the one who has traveled many souls" and his loud, boisterous personality. Since the windmill, however, they have come to feel a bit protective of Menyn and appreciative of his way with words. Menyn has become somebody they feel comfortable asking for help in social situations, and also discussing the party's plan of action with.

### Seril

Seril's initial dislike of Bogdan, as well as her strange, exploding metal sticks made V fearful of Seril in the beginning. However, Seril's continued kindness towards V - and later Bogdan - has warmed Seril to V. V struggles to understand when Seril is joking and when she's being serious, due to Seril's very flat affect, but V struggles with social interactions and jokes in general. Those moments of confusion aside, Seril has shown a kindness to her that V does admire.
