Victorian Aristocrat

Solis was born into a wealthy family in London in the 1870’s and raised with a good education, especially in the local celtic languages, as her governess was Welsh and Cornish. She felt very little attachment to her family, instead called her closest friends, Myra and Adelaide as such. When Solis was nineteen Myra brought in a rather confused looking woman of about 25, who spoke little English, but instead a very archaic version of Welsh, whom Myra had dubbed Neriah, or Ner and N for short. Solis taught her English, which she picked up on quite quickly, and from this the two created a bond. Only a month or so into N’s stay Solis went to close a window and saw N standing in the rain, playing with a yellow ribbon, Solis’s confusion quickly turned to shock when the ribbon darted up and formed the shape of an umbrella, before actually becoming one. Despite how frightened she was, Solis knew to keep all knowledge of this under wraps and safe, especially since she had begun to notice Adelaide developing a rather scary infatuation with N, and N a much healthier one with Myra. Several months later Solis heard a muffled screech, and saw Adelaide standing over a bloody Myra, but when Adelaide turned about, it was not her face looking at Solis, but that of the dead girl beside her. Solis screamed for N and tried to escape, but was caught by Adelaide. N came , and saw Myra next to her own dead body holding a trussed Solis and immediately summoned her sword and defeated Adelaide. Adelaide was easily defeated, but N worried about having revealed her powers to Solis, who explained she had known for some time. N, now much less worried, offered to take Solis to her home in Wales, and Solis agreed.

The Curse

Solis quickly fell in love with the valley, though she was confused as to why N told her not to talk to the oracle. Finally, a few months into her stay, she went to the oracle to ask a favor of it. The oracle obliged, but at a cost, it passed a curse onto Solis. The curse made it so there was another entity in Solis’s head, one that told her to cause harm and bring down chaos upon others. It took the shape of a poisonous mushroom on her head called an Amanita Virosa, or Destroying Angel. Solis found that she needed to put up a mental wall or else it would take over, especially when she’s around others. She told N, who chased after the oracle, but to no avail, there is only an old skeleton in the place where the oracles house should have been. Solis became rude and antisocial, as well as prone to maniacal fits as a result of the curse, so she chooses to live up among the tops of the hills where she wont bother N. The two lived like this for well over a century when a small boy by the name of Wren stumbles into Solis’s house, bloody and bruised. She was worried by this so took him down to N’s house where the two patched him up, forcing her to interact with both N and the boy. This greatly improves her ability to talk with others, as does a giant named Mazăre, who fell from the sky. Originally the two do not get along, but as Mazăre uses their abilities to calm Solis down from multiple curse-induced fits Solis gets much closer.
