first impressions


✥ APPEARANCE: early 20s. silver-gray hair, stark white skin, brown eyes. about 5'4", slim build. has tattoos on her face and all over her body, including her hands.
✥ FASHION: goth space witch chic, but functional enough to whoop ass in. color palette is exclusively black and/or red. always wearing the same triangular gold necklace. loves a good black leather jacket.
✥ DEMEANOR: comes off as intimidating and standoffish, but kind and earnest underneath. composed and self-possessed. carries herself with unshakable self-confidence. her sense of humor is dark, deadpan, and dry, dry, dry. will say she's going to harvest your blood for her magick with a completely straight face, and you won't know if she's joking or not.
✥ VOICE: has a pronounced dathomiri accent, which sounds coincidentally like russian. her voice is husky and usually fairly monotone/deadpan. sample here.
✥ OLFACTORY: jasmine, rosemary, and petrichor.
✥ ETC: she's dathomirian zabrak, so she's not actually human despite looking a lot like it. has two hearts and natural night vision.


out of character


✥ PLAYER: britt
✥ PREFERRED CONTACT: matriarchy, britt
✥ BACKTAGGING: yes!
✥ THREADJACKING: yes, especially if it's funny
✥ FOURTH-WALLING: totally cool with it, just don't tell her she's fictional. nightsisters are pretty infamous within her canon universe so she'd roll with people who recognized them.
✥ ACTION vs PROSE: i default to action, but i really don't mind either way — whatever works best for you
✥ DEAL-BREAKER SCENARIOS: though she's in a straight relationship at the moment, merrin is a queer, pansexual woman who won't let even casual queerphobia, especially bi/panphobia and bi/pan erasure, go unchallenged. i'm not opposed to playing out learning opportunities for characters in good faith, but deliberate and persistent queer- and bi/panphobia is not something i'm interested in.
✥ YOU'D SACRIFICE A VIRGIN FOR: found family!!!!
✥ ANYTHING ELSE? blows u a kiss

in character

✥ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE LIMITS: pretty much anything up to torture/dismemberment/death. you can provoke her, but she will square up if necessary and she's no pushover.
✥ OPEN TO MANIPULATION? mmmmaybe? idk we'd have to plot this one out. this is a sensitive spot for her.
✥ ...AND MIND CONTROL? possibly, but her head isn't easy to get into so feel free to ping me for more info.
✥ WHAT KIND OF MENTAL PRESENCE DO THEY HAVE: she has some defenses around her mind so it won't be easy getting in! otherwise, she's very calm and controlled and strong-willed, even in her head. sharp and observant, but not calculating. says exactly what she means. much kinder and more compassionate than she appears on the surface. constantly thinking (worrying) about cal and her loved ones back home. and oof, grief and loss are always there, lurking.
✥ ...AND MAGICAL? so much magick. she oozes magick. the magickal energy she utilizes, ichor, is a bright pale green and often accompanied by spooky, echoey sounds. there's an eerie otherworldliness to it, but underneath everything, it's still life. smells faintly like ozone and petrichor.
✥ RELATIONSHIPS: sorry, she's spoken for! but i'm always down for one-sided crushes and flirting, even if she'll have to turn down any advances.
✥ WHAT PUSHES THEIR BUTTONS: threatening/hurting cal or her friends. betrayal. lies and manipulation. see above re: queerphobia and bi/panphobia.
✥ WARNINGS ON THEIR LABEL: war, genocide, and death in her backstory. her culture is strictly matriarchal and pretty misandrist, though she herself isn't. she has a spell that raises the dead so... zombies and descriptions of corpses.
