Velen

Velen is the renon fairy of decay. She is a battle-hardened hunter with a sharp tongue to boot. Her venom makes her a terrifying foe but simultaneously isolates her from others. Despite her hurtful words, she cares deeply for the few things that do exist in her life and will do anything to protect them.

## Appearance

Though Velen spends much of her time outside, she is particularly tidy. Her long grows into two long tendrils with secondary strands running down them. Despite their tangled appearance, Velen takes good care of them for functional purposes. Her whiskers take the shape of thin feathers. The tips of the hairs are a crimson red, which glow when she is casting magic. She is the healthiest out of the fairies and hides a strong figure under her mass of hair.

## Personality

Velen is not the most insightful fairy. She is inconsiderate of others and lacks the ability to properly express herself outside of aggression. She despises her dull wit, as she believes intelligence far surpasses strength. She greatly appreciates what she has and is always the first to come to the rescue. She believes that she is useless compared to the others but will take any means for the sake of a friend.

Her intelligence contrasts keen battle sense. Her knowledge of combat is rivaled by none, making Velen the only fairy who can easily take down the largest beasts single-handedly. Velen usually does not use any weapons, instead utilizing her natural venom and the resources around her in the most effective ways. Her deadly efficiency sparks both awe and fear into her peers, but Velen does not take pride in her reputation.

In her free time, she partakes in quiet outdoor activities like gardening and woodwork. Though, she is not particularly great at either.

## Abilities

Velen can control her hairs as if they were limbs, which hide a row of sharp, retractable teeth. Her hairs also naturally excrete a unique venom, called **vivitoxin**. The venom will only activate through ingestion or injection. The venom has no antidote and indiscriminately affects all organisms, regardless of toxin immunities. Lethal dose and time before onset vary with size and mass. Velen cannot control this power, and thus it is a great double-edged sword. Velen is immune to her own toxin.

## Relationships

### Renhet

Velen considers Renhet her natural weakness. Velen explains that because Renhet is not afraid of her venom, she will not go away no matter what. The truth is that Velen is simply hesitant on using physical force against a friend. Velen gets annoyed with Renhet's physical affection but secretly enjoys the attention. Velen has become slightly obsessive over Renhet, but somehow has not realized it yet.

### Wistix

Though Velen lacks an understanding of others, she understands Wistix the best. She sees Wistix as a bratty younger sibling due to the characteristics they share. However, Velen believes Wistix has it easy as Wistix's ability is quite useful compared to hers. Velen believes that she will someday grow up and understand that strength is not as important as she believes it is. Velen has dueled Wistix once, in hopes of "beating some sense into her."

### Iyris

Velen looks up to Iyris with high regard due to Iyris' intellect. Velen frequently consults her for direction and almost always follows her beliefs. Velen wonders why Iyris sometimes looks at her with a smug look.
