## Summary

**Oona Clover** (also known as **The Mothering Soul**) is a famous ghost story told in Simul, as well as a historical figure. She was born on February 14, 1817. She died exactly 23 years later on February 14, 1840, from suffocation after she was buried alive. She is a Nature and currently a wandering soul. She is still wandering as of Volume I.

She is a one-time character in Volume I, but was mentioned several times throughout the volume as the youngest eldress in Simulian history.

## Brief Living History

Oona was a clever, overconfident, and arrogant young Nature. She was born to Naokara and Sicarrie Clover and had a younger sister named Melusine. Melusine was always lost in Oona's shadow and was known to be jealous of her older sister. Oona knew of Melusine's envy, and continued to brag in front of her in order to infuriate her more. Thus, the sisters never had a healthy or close relationship.

Oona began to experience futuristic visions at a very young age, such as predicticting the flooding of the Nature city, Koimare, which came true only three weeks later. At only nineteen, she was given the title of an eldress, making her the youngest Nature eldress in Simulian history. She was disrespectful towards the other eldresses, calling them: “outdated” and “expired.” Oona's ego was even further inflated by The Empress. She protected Oona like a trophy and held her high on a pedestal in front of the entire empire. Even Metallum knew of the Empress' pride over Oona. The eldresses complained about Oona's behavior to the Empress, but the Empress dismissed them.

Oona’s life changed when she met the head councilman of Metallum: the Diamond Dennith Prisma, who had traveled to Natura to meet with the Empress. Dennith was mesmerized by Oona, despite him already having a partner: Florithe, and three children with her: Soama, Dorsen, and Gollan. Oona knew about Dennith's family, but still lusted after him. The two started an affair, with them either meeting in Metallum or Natura.

About a year after their affair began, Oona joyfully confessed to Dennith she was a little more than two months pregnant. Oona poured out to Dennith her dreams of him becoming her partner and going to live with her and their child in Natura. This was the opposite reaction of Dennith, who panicked. He knew his reputation as a Diamond, a councilor, a partner, and a father would be shattered. He declined Oona’s request and told her he never wanted to see her again. This infuriated Oona. She threatened Dennith with going to the Empress and falsely accusing him of raping her and causing the pregnancy. Knowing the Empress would start a war over such an accusation, Dennith was horrified.

In his desperation, he picked off one of the nearby mirrors and bludgeoned it into Oona’s head. This put Oona in a state of unconsciousness. Unbeknownst that she was still alive, Dennith buried her body in the mud beside the Pokrah River. Oona suffocated to death in her unmarked grave; never awakening from her unconscious state.

## Brief Dead History

As a wandering soul, Oona became known as the Mothering Soul. She wanders anywhere, as both Natures and Industrials have reported seeing her. Oona is considered a very restless soul since she is constantly looking for 'a baby.' She is also told in ghost stories to children.

Oona can be summoned, but only by a woman. The summoner needs to stand in front of a mirror, take her own blood, and write Oona’s name two times on the mirror, as this was how many months she was along before she was murdered. Oona will appear shortly after in the mirror and ask the woman what she wishes for, as she can grant one futuristic vision per summoner. The summoner will ask any one thing about her future, such as family, work, or death. Oona will answer this honestly and grant the summoner a vision.

Afterwards, Oona will ask the summoner for something in return. This may be something simple, such as a hairbrush, lipstick, or a piece of clothing. However, Oona may ask the summoner for something much more valuable, such as the soul of her child or family member, a finger, other body parts, or sometimes even the summoner’s own life. If the summoner does not agree to this, Oona will forever trap their soul in the mirror they summoned her from. No one ever knows what she would ask from them. Thus, Oona is considered to be one of the most dangerous wandering souls, but she is the most common to see.

Oona wears a customary eldress cloak attached to gorgeous leaf-shaped bodice, a one-shouldered strap attached to draped sleeves, leaf shapes in a skirt, and a sheer, long, floaty skirt. She walks barefoot.

Oona is most famous for appearing to Dennith the day his youngest child with Florithe, Silvis, was born. Oona cursed the Prisma family down to the very last one. Due to this curse, Dennith and Florithe’s three oldest children: Soama, Dorsen, and Gollan, all died at 23, the same age as her. Their youngest child, Silvis, lived past 23, only to eventually rise and become a cruel tyrant.

As King Silvis' malicious rule started to spiral out of control in the early 1890s, Dennith confessed his crimes against Oona to his granddaughters: Marelle and Tarinne Prisma. Immediately after, he began to lose his grip on reality. Marelle and Tarinne spoke to the now then Empress admitting Dennith's crimes. Oona's case was able to be resolved. What remains of her were left were able to be uncovered in the mud from where she was buried. She was then given a proper cremation. Dennith's condition only worsened as a result of his unnatural age that stemmed from the curse. His fellow Diamonds all reported he was completely senile, miserable, and had no idea who he was by the time of his death on his 120th birthday.

## Volume I

> "Those stories villainize me. They portray me as an evil, brutal woman. They portray me as resenting Queen Florithe. When in reality, nothing is true about those stories. I hold no resentment towards Queen Florithe. She was a dedicated queen in her time. She balanced this on top of being a mother. I respect her as much as I respect any hardworking woman.

> They portray me as holding no mercy for the women who summon me. When in fact, those same women condemn themselves to summoning me. None were forced. They know well the punishment for not granting me what I wish. But because I spend eternity bending my own rules and abiding by them, it does not please typicals.
