DetailsName: Ninivi Von Flare Leblanc
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Species: Fae
Affiliation/JobUnaffiliated. She is the owner of one of the "World's Best" Black Market. It is only self-proclaimed World's Best but it is (or may be?) one of the 'best' in Venice. Her Black Market is known for smuggling, magic artifacts, information, secrets and all other kinds of stuff. It goes by many names. It is known to have the insignia of a Chameleon's tail, colored gold. Also owns small shops such as bakery and tailor. Has many connections.
AppearanceStands at 5'0ft height and weights lightly. Peach blonde hair, yellow eyes. Smooth porcelain skin, cute childish face. Sometimes she changes her hairstyle, sometimes she wears a flower ornament as an eyepatch, sometimes her dresses changes.
Like all the faes, Ninivi is mischievous; playfully and maliciously. She welcomes entertainment, mostly chaos and a little (a lot) bit of harm until it is at her expense, an act she would be displeased of. A person who prefers to observe rather than getting involve in a messy situation. It is a different matter if it's advantageous for her, however.
Incredibly vain, she despises ugliness and would recommend it should disappear, they will only taint the all the beauty that she adores. (It is why she cannot and would not get along with sirens, once you tear down their fabricated appearance- ugh, disgusting. So long as they keep the illusion up, it is fine.) Though she may love beauty, if there is an ounce of ugliness, she will frown. (Because a beautiful person could be an ugly in the inside, she doesn't like beautiful people that she sees as ugly on the inside.) The fae would not take a second glance at the things she deems ugly and would be vocal about it. Her mouth will clam up, however, when she is an important event or meeting an important person she knows can be and is influential, it would be a bad action to show such behavior. After that, in private, she would complain how distasteful it is.
Ninivi is a person who's a perfectionist and hard to herself, she would be the best and will be the best, anything that is less acceptable would be deemed a failure; striving to be someone who will not be detained, someone who would be respected at every corner. An very ambitious person, a little lady that knows what she wants. She would drive herself to be stronger.
She can be nice, if you are very sincere to her and show goodwill, push past the fiercely guarded wall; you will gain an loyal ally and friend. Even when she has not said it, Ninivi has a soft spot for people who are trying to crawl desperately to survive: the poor people who where either abandoned and defying death in the streets, she secretly donates to the need people such as the orphanage whenever she can and if she has the resources. Sometimes, she's not honest with her feelings.
Skilled at deception, sharp enough to be able to tell of a person's pretty little lies. She knows what kind of world they live in, a harsh environment of kill or be killed, that it is a harsh world and you must steel yourself to carry on and survive. Shows mature tendencies (especially in meetings, getting favors and such) - as mature as she is. Most times, she could act like a kid- in public. Batting her eyelashes, smiling a beautiful innocent smile all to let everyone around her let their guard down. It was so easy with her figure and pretty face. Don't let your guard or she will eat you alive. (Not literally.)
Her words are sharp, subtle, she can use it to hurt another person verbally and will make them cry depending on said person. It's either because she does not like you or is super pissed at you. Her words can be harmful, she can speak to you politely but subtly insult you.
Ninivi has the makings of an fine world-class actress, give her any role- she easily wears it as natural as wearing skin. She hates it when someone knows her cover-to see the bullsht she spouts. She will also be frustrated if she can't read her opponent. Intelligent and possess keen eyes. Fairly knowledgeable and will also be frustrated if she doesn't know other facts. (Not knowing itty bits of another race, for example.)
She also suffers from bouts of psychotic tendencies, specifically the times where she remembers her mother and what she have done. She hates silence, thanks to that; it successfully makes her edgy as time passes on and silence remains, going down on memory lane until she can't take it anymore. The fae would do find a way to destroy the silence, even if it means destroying a valuable ornament.
Denies that she is a sadist. Clearly, it is hinted that she is, finding someone else's pain amusing whether inflicted by her or not. Ninivi is rather fond of trouble, specifically everyone else having trouble and getting their brains scramble to have a steady control. A selfish woman who could be vicious with no sympathies. She can also be surprisingly calm amidst panic, mostly amused and if the situation proves to be difficult: annoyed.
Suffice to say, Ninivi is a bipolar girl. She can be mature then childish the next, she can be polite then sneering the next, she can be kind then cruel the next. May have a personality disorder, it doesn't help the fact that she can act and plaster a different emotion than what she is currently feeling. This girl can be deceiving. Try as she might, she is still her Mother's puppet even after that woman's death.
Her heart is as hard as diamond, not even that so called soft spot of hers could not move her heart. She will look out and put herself first, discarding everything that she deems not worth it. As her mother taught her, she should always be in control or else she will find herself at the bottom. (It also why it's so very hard to have her as an loyal ally and friend, her walls are too guarded.) Not to mention, she trusts less.
She is her mother's daughter after all.
HistoryThere was a woman named Cordelia. She was one of the most beautiful of them all. Most people that knew her would say she was a "bewitching person". Strangers would say she was a "enchanting lady". At day she was loved, at night she was feared as she dons her mask.
"Madam Allure" she was called. The last her enemies hear is her twinkle like laugh then sweet release to blankness, she leaves with blood on the ground, dead bodies in her wake. She tricks, she deceives, she kills all the while with a pretty, pretty smile. She knows how to play The Game. A dangerous foe to have.
Just as she is beautiful, she is
deadly.
Her name is notorious, a highly sought figure for power. It was not easy to locate her, even more so, it was more then difficult to convince her to be an ally, her rejection were shows when bodies of the emissaries were found slain. An independent masked woman she was. There were no sides she picked. There were speculations as to why but an answer did not and will not come.
She was someone to be cautious of, lest you lose your life.
When she is Cordelia the unmasked, she is demure. She hides her pernicious ways in the form of a young, beautiful and vulnerable woman. She covers her lips with her hand, hiding the wicked smile beneath her palm. No one knows, they will not know. They will only see the delicate person, not the black-hearted masked monster.
A news came to the people that knew her, she would be gone outside Venice to visit an grave of her grandmother. That was it.
There was a sweet woman with hazel eyes named Lucia Desdemond who became a part of a small family at the same time, their lord passed down his position to his son. The power the small family had, grew and grew. They were not a weak family no more. It was thanks to their new lord that they have risen to higher positions, slowly but surely. However. There were whispers that it was not he who had raise their small family to power but the woman who had join, the rumors had died down after weeks. It was impossible, they think, for Lucia was not the kind of woman who would dirty her hands. She was an innocent woman that had been caught into the fray, it was not meant to be.
(Why, they ask to themselves, was she allowed to join? It was no place for her. She was a blooming flower amidst the dried, dead grass.)
There were more whispers of the secrecy between Lucia and their lord, it escalated as servants that gossiped
I saw Miss Lucia coming out of the Young Lord's room the other night.,
I heard Miss Lucia and Young Lord's voice in his room a night ago!, are they lovers? They ponder. They will never know for after a few days -
The Monroe family were no more.
Although they were not as strong and big as the other large families and compared to the Omocidio and de' Medici's, they were slowly becoming well-known. The situation brought a shock. The survivors they have found proclaimed that they do not remember the events that lead to their downfall before they disappeared, never seen again.
The shock dwindled and day after day, the 'case' slowly dropped until it was shoved at the back of their minds.
Somewhere, Cordelia smiled, resting her hand on her stomach.
"Madam Allure" did not show for 2 years.
.
.
9 months later, Cordelia Evangeline Oswald née Leblanc became a mother to a girl she named Ninivi Von Flare Leblanc. Holding her crying baby girl in her arms, the woman smiled down at her, she whispered, "I will make you be the best, my little fairy." It was the start of baby Ninivi's life, her hell.
At the age of two, she taught her how to speak, how to write. At the age of three, she dumped her outside with no food, dirty clothes and no money out in the alleys where the people who had no life lived, who stole, who would kill for food and beg to live. At the age of four, she was still out in the streets where she needed to survive on her own. At the age of five, she taught her etiquette, how to talk to people with certain status. At the age of six, she taught her how to start magic. At the age of seven, she tortured her with iron for resistance. At the age of eight, she taught her how to deceive, how to trick and what to do in certain situations. At the age of nine, she made her use what she had been taught in ways that left her boneless on the ground, headache and weak. At the age of ten, her studies continued. At the age of eleven, she taught and taught, she tortured and made her suffer. At age of twelve, she dumped her back to the alleys and threw more sht on her way. At the age of thirteen, her lessons, the torture repeat and repeat. At the age of fourteen, she sparred with her and did not hold back. At the age of fifteen, she threw her on brothels to flirt and seduce, laughing at her disgusted reactions. At the age of sixteen to eighteen, she made sure to drill on her head all the lessons she had taught and forcibly made her learn, she mold her the same way she was.
There was a difference: Ninivi was not and could not became Cordelia.
All the while throughout the lesson, at night, she came out with her mask. The "Madam Allure" that disappeared for two years, sporadically appeared. She was very dangerous, if she were to live; she will only reign chaos, she would be a monster that can never be controlled, free to do what she wanted, free to destroy what she desired to get rid off. She did not side to any family at all.
She was a vicious, threatening monster that needed to be rid off before she turns everything disarray.
When Ninivi was eighteen, her mother acted different, the daughter could see there was something off. Her mother did not gave her a hard time per usual, she did not ask or said anything. At the end of the day, Cordelia looked at Ninivi straight in the eyes and told her, "Dearest daughter of mine, I raised you to be like me, however, in this time, in the future" she leaned in and smiled acidly, so beautifully cruel, "
you will never become
me.
For I am far more, much more greater than you." She turned around and walked away, straight to the double doors with graceful steps. "Do practice a lot harder, my little fairy, survive in this world, I had taught you well enough." A chuckle. "Strive to became as strong as me. If you can manage to do so."
"I wonder, will flap continuously to the top or will you fall down before you could reach that goal? Fufu, it is sad for me to have not to see you fall."
She was gone.
"Madam Allure" was never heard nor seen again.
.
.
After days of her mother disappearing without a trace, Ninivi had used what her mother left her for and created her own Black Market, she did not stop to make sure that it will be the best and started to built her connections, she expanded to owning small shops that were bakery and tailor. Of course, she made sure that there was not known to be the owner of her stores.
She did not reveal what she felt at that time, not even to the faithful servants that both her and her mother had for years.
Here is the start of her story.
Fae Physiology/Magic ‣ Self-Explanatory. Her Mother will never let her be less than perfect and so gruel her with lessons, at times, painfully. Although powerful, she is not by all means invincible enough not to get tired.
Puppetry Creation ‣ Dolls/Puppets. She makes them come alive, their appearance would morph into a human figure, Ninivi must concentrate on giving thought of their background, their personalities and how they will look like to make them even more human. They possess no magic and if they do, it will be low and burrowed. They turn back when Ninivi wants them to or when they are knocked down by even a mediocre spell/magic. She only make two at one day at most.
Slight Resistance To Iron ‣ Her mother made sure to give her resistance to their species' weakness. Although she can resist enough to not be noticable, it is still a weakness.
Heightened Hearing ‣ She can as the skill says- heightened her hearing, she can't keep it long and if she is not careful enough, her ears will hurt from the noise, as the time pass as she uses it, her hearing will slowly grow sensitive enough to hurt. Approx. 15-30 minutes.
Mother's Legacy ‣ What her mother taught her. See: History.
WeaponsShe has no skills in wielding heavy weapons.
Needles ‣ Pointy things to stab in the eye. She coats them with poisons, ranging to harmless to deadliest. Or coats with sleep, or stops nerves. Mostly poison.
Scepter ‣ To keep her magic in check, possibly only for show. (It is actually used in case someone uses magic, alerting her. Sometimes it doesn't work.)
Bows ‣ Although not often used, her arrows are also infused with magic. Her accuracy is below of a pro; her visual ability and keen eyes is better.
